NEWSPAPERS.
Extracts from the Address Of Whitelaw Reid
Before the New York State Press
Association.

This, then, I conceive to be the
next great revolution in Journal
ism. We shall uot have cheaper
newspapers. They are the cheap
est thing sold now, considering
the cost of making them. We shall
not have continually growing sup
plemeut upon supplement ofadver'
tising, individual wants will seek
mediums more suitable. Only gen
eral wants will seek the publicity
Of great journals, and these will
be kept, by increasing cost, within
manageable compass. We shall
not have more news. The world
is ransacked for it now. Earth,
sea and air carry it to US from
every capital, from every people,
from every continent and from
every island. We shall not have
bigger newspapers; they are big
ger now than a busy people can
read. We shall have better news
papers; tho story better told; bet-
ter brains employed in the telling !;
briefor papers dealing the more
important Of current matters IN
such style and with such fasclna'
ton that they will command the
widest interest. There will be
moro care and ability in selecting,
but of the myriad Of things you
might tell, the things that the
better people want to be told, or
ought to be told. There will be
greater skill in putting these
things before them in the most
convenient and attractive shape
Judgment in selecting the news
genius in telling it-that is the
goal for the highest Journalistic
effort in the future. In making a
newspaper, the heaviest item OF
expense used to be the white pa;
per. Now it is the news. By and
by, let US hope, it will be the
brains.

THE SUBSCRIBER.

1t was the old subscriber,
His eyes we're old and dim,
But che want takin' no paper
That was pokin' chaff at him"
For he picked his paper up one day
And it went to his heart like rocket;
Whom the gods love, die young, it said,
But they whose hearts arc dry he read,
GAS summers dust, burn to the socket
Then he looked through the paper with
wrath and doubt.
And his heart with anger burned;
For he found had been left out
And he found an tha: was turned.
and he lifted his voice with mighty shout
AS the sheet with his feet he spurned.
He stopped his paper; he would not read
Such a blundering, villainous sheet;
Of the news it contained he had no need,
He could hear the news on the street.
Only ten days later, he sold his corn,
But he pounded his head full of dents,
When he learned, after selling for twelve
and a-half.
1t was quoted at forty-two cents.
And his farm was sold for taxes, because
He didn't know when they were due,
And he bet on race three days after date,
And he bet on the wrong horse, too.
He was fined nine dollars and seventy cents
For going out shooting on Sunday,
For he didn't know, with no paper to read,
Whether twas Sunday or Monday.
lie came to town to the Fourth of July,
But it had been gone for week,
And he felt so mad, that he wanted to cry,
For he didn't know how to speak.
He thought that Grant was President yet,
And he never had heard Of Hayes;
1t was worry, and blunder, and trouble, and
fret,
All of his weary days.
So he came to town, one summer morn,
And "signed' for his paper again,
And went back home to his wheat and corn,
The heppiest man among men.

THE PRESS MORE POTENT THAN
EVER.

THE PRESS MORE POTENT THAN
EVER.
Is the power Of the press declin-
ing? Every little while some
discontcnted clergyman or extinct
politician declares it is. Quite re-
Gently they have given us very
solemn discourses about it. News
papers are moro read, they admit,
but less needed. With the air of
discoverers they tell US Of the
past generation, and triumphantly
oxclalm But who minds now
what a newspaper says?' There
were giants in those days only
pigmles walk the earth to-day. In
the earlier times the great news
papers stood for great noise. 1t
has become selfish, it wants to
make money, it is on CONNER
cial basis now, it actually supports
itself-how can such press WELD
the old influence? I wish to
speak with due respect; but really
this sort oftalk-and we hear q good
deal of it from unsuccessful quar-
ters-scems to me the Jwaddle OF
mushy sentimentalists. Far wiser
and maulier was the tone taken
by Lord Macaulay, in opening his
great history. Those who COM
pare the age on which their lot
has fallen with q golden age which
exists only in their Imagination,
may talk of degeneracy and decay !;
but no man who is correctly in
formed rs to the past will be dis
posed to take morose or despond-
ing view Of the present.
| It is easy to marshal the great
names of the past; and idle to try
to match them from the living.
We count no man great, anyway,
till he is dead. But great men do
not necessarily make the great
est newspapers. AS well might
you challenge the London Times,
in the zenith Of it's influence, say
in 1855, to prove itself the equal
of the old Public Advertiser of the
century before, and crush it with
the taunt, where have you a
man the equal OF Junius p
1t IS not true that the ability of
the press is declining. The pa
pers of the country are better
written now than they ever were
before. Their average courtesy is
greater their average morality is
purer their average tendency
higher. They better hit the wants
of great, miscellaneous commu-
mites, and so they have more
readers in proportion to popula-
ton. Their power may be more
| difused but it is Enthusiastically
greater. There has been no more
remarkable phenomenon in the
| history Of the profession than the
rapid growth Of the country press
and it's increase in ability, in re-
sources, in self:respect and in in
| huence.

# ERUPTION OF Mr.. ETNA.-The Uni
ted States Consul at Messina sends to
the Department of State at Washing
ton, an account of the recent eruption
of Mount Etna. 1t broke out on the
goth Of May and ceased on the 18th Of
June. In Messina the pavements
and balconies were covered with black
dust. The villages near the mountain
were shrouded In darkness, and their
Inhabitants fled in terror. The damag-
es are estimated at 100000, toward
which the Italian 2 Parliament has con-
tributed large sum. The King gave
personally $1,000; the city of Catania
So 400, and the Archbishop, $500. On
the 18th of June there was a serious
earthquake. The earth opened and

undertaking following the discharge
