The News the Father OF the Fact.
TLondou World


I remember that certain gentleman
connected with the Dublin press used to
boast that he induced the Prince and
Princess of Wales to visit Ireland on one
occasion. This was how he did it: He
was at his wits end for news for the
English papers to which he telegraphed
Irish items, and the happy thought struck
him to report that great disappointment
was felt at the announcement in Dublin
that the Prince and Princess of Wales were
not going to visit Ireland. No one had pre-.
viously spoken or heard of any such visit;
but the Times published a leader deplor.
ing the neglect of Ireland by royalty.
The Irish papers did ditto, and the
Prince of Wales determined to 60 to Ire
land. By similar system of news man
ufacture the rumor is set flying now that
Sir Arthur Guinness is to be made q
peer, and that Mr.. Power, the distiller, is
to be the Conservative candidate fol
Dublin. Some one who wants to see Mr.
Power in Parliament evidently also wants
Sir Arthur Guinness in the House o
Lords. l happen to be aware that al
present, at all events, neither event is al
all probable. There may be change in
the representation of Dublin, but not OF
the Conservative side.

Professor Morley ON ssSOciety
Journalist
London Times.

IlJoltuot llluecJ
In the course of lecture on "News-
papers, Ancient and Modern" which
was delivered at the College for Men and
Women, Queen-square, Bloomsbury, Pro-
fessor Henry Morley, of University Col
lrge, said that after The abolition of the
stamp and paper duties there was great
diversity of opinion as to whether this
woul not open the way to kind of en-
terprise that would lower the tone of
society and lessen the value of the news
paper by opening the door to competi-
ton. He confessed that at the time he
did not have hopeful view; but he was
wrong, and experience had now taught
him far different.
Penny newspapers Of the highest class
were now produced, and had large Cir
culation. They could maintain CORE
spondents of the highest character in
all parts of the world, and the best intel
lects that money could buy could be
pressed into their service. How great a
gain this was for the education of the
people! There was, however, much in
the newspaper world that they might
well wish away; but did they wish away
that which represented society, or that in
society which created certain features in
the n w,paper world? 1t was of no use
to break the mirror because they did not
like the look of their nose.
The newspaper was the mirror of En-
glish society, and some parts of it full
filled the functions that they wished
away. Society journals" or whatever
name they liked to give them, they did
not wish away SO long as they kept with
in bounds and avoided libel, for they re-
fected society as it WAS. He hoped none
of his hearers would like to be the ed tor
of "a journal that reproduced small talk
and gave accounts of the meaner views
Of life; but, however they would not like
it TO he their function, it WIS part of the
mirror, and Was somebody's function.
If The paper WAS got rid of, the evil
would he there and unknown; but it
showed the reflection, and they were
thus able to see that they were not so
perfect as they might be. Novels were
in circulation in society tnat were more
indecent than the works of Fielding. In
Fielding's novels these elements were
shown with the purest purpose. and his
works were purify itself compared with
those that were to be found in the draw
iog-rooms of the aris ocrucy; and he
trusted his hearers would not encourage
the publication of these by purchasing
them. Let them look to higher things
and to sounder representations OF Engliah
thought. Let them rather encourage
and ally themselves to those journals
with which they could feel to be more
worthlly associated than so-called "socie-
ty Journals"

George Augustus Sala.

There is report that Mr.. G. A. Sala
is to be asked to come forward as one of
the Liberal candidates at Brighton. Not
withstanding his connections with the
Daily Telegraph, Mr.. Sala has always
been stancE and consistent Liberal,
and Brighton would do honor to itself by
being represented by a man of his mark.
l have heard him often make speeches
at public dinners, ana he deserves his
reputation Of being the first afger-dinner
speaker in England. The other day he
went down to Boston and made a politi-
cal speech. A friend Of mine who was
present, tells me that be never heard a
more forcibe denunciation Of the policy
of the present Government, nor a more
lucid explanation of what the policy Of
the Liberals ought to he and will be.

Survivors of the ssSix Hundred.o
1LOndon Tines

Saturday being the twenty-fifth ami
versary of the famous charge of the
Light Brigade at Balaclava, the event
WAS celebrated by banquet at the Alex
andra Palace by the rank and file Of the
survivors, their officers dining at Willis
Rooms, and not with the men, by reason
of certain red-tape objections of the War
Office. 1t may be remarked that last year
there were as many as 230 upon the books;
but the actual number of those still liv-
ing out of the gallant six hundred who
were present upon the famous field has
been definitely ascertained to be no more
than $50, including officers. The men
are scattered throughout the kingdom,
and but one of the number is to be found
in the workhouse; several are pensioners
at Chelsea, but the majority are filling
fairly good positions.
The banquet was private, and the
funds came for the most part from the
pockets of those who enjoyed it. Con-
tributions, however, have to be ac-
knowledged from Lady Cardigan (whose
husband fought with such distinction at
the Battle Of the Alma, at Inkermann,
and again at Balaclaval Major Whyte-
man, Lord Tredegar, Lord George Paget,
Captain Clutterbuck, Captain Johnson
and Miss Cleaveland. This lady is called
the "Poetess of Balaclava," for it has
been her annual custom up to the present
year to write a poem descriptive of the
achievements of the Light Brigade, and
her sonnets are preserved in the albums
of the regiment.
The surplus fund enabled tickets to be
presented to the pensioners, and to all
who can not afford the means of attend
ing and on more than one occasion survi-
vors have been enabled to attend from a
distance, owing to Miss Cleveland's liber-
ality. The chair was taken by Troop.

Hussars; the vice-chair being occupied by
Mr.. Hugh Bird, of the 9Th Hussars; and

formed by Mr.. G. Aldous of the 17tll
Hussars. The total number attending
was 59-59 warriors adorned with medals
Subsequently the usual loyal toasts
were given, and responded to. Invita-.
tions have been received by the Secre-
tary on behalf of the survivors to the
following places of amusement: West.

minster-bridge road, from Mr.. Villiers;
and the London from Mr.. Adams. In
the Palace the occasion was celebrated by
a military concert, and during the even
ing Mr.. Pennington, ole of the survivors
recited Tennyson's stirring poem, "The
Charge of the light Brigade" in the Uni
form of his regiment. There was as usual
grand display of fireworks, which in

A touching story is related Of a young
man on the West Side whose right arm
was recently broken above the elbow by
street accident. The surgeon who was
called to attend the victim was surprised
to find his patient laughing heartily, al
though it was plain that he was suffering
intense pain. "Well, my friend" said
the surgeon, "You appear to be rather
iovial over such serious matter" "Ser-
ious," exclaimed the patient, "why, ]
think it's the most humorous thing l ever
saw" 1t was subsequently ascertained
that the unfortunate man was member oi

SPINNING SEED CoTToN.-The process
of spinning cotton from the seed is likely
to revolutionize the South. The "South-
ern Herald in speaking Of the cotton fac
tory at Westminster, on tho Airline Rail-
road, in o tonce county, S. c., says: "All
the machinery is moved by twelvc-inch
turbine wheel. The seed cotton is system.
atically measured into the gin by machinery,
and the lint, separated from the seed, passed
from the gin in rolls to the spindlcs, and
comes out in thread. Thus the expense of
packing, bagging, ties, ETC.. is dispensed
with, and also the damage to the lint from
COMPRISING is prevented. The factory we
saw had only 500 spindles, and turned out
bale (forty bunches) Of thread per day.
1t requires 10000 pounds Of seed cotton
to keep the mill running year. The
whole cost Of the buildings machinery, etc.,
was $4,000. Two or three farmers in any
ncighboshood can combine and erect such
a mill to the lasting benefit Of themselves
and their ncighbors.
