4 I,OSinr Joke.

A prominent physician of Pittsburgh
said iokingly to lady patient who was
complaining of her continued i'll health,
and of his inability to cure her, try
Hop Bitters! !" The lady took it in

she obtained permanent health. She
now laughs at the doctor for his joke,
but he is not so well pleased with it, as
it cost him a good patient. Harris

A FAILURE.-Cape May Point, close
by Cape May, was started in 1875 as q
Presbyterian seaside resort, with re-
strictions against dancing and the sale
of tobacco and liquors. Hotels, cot
tages and improvements swelled the
cost to S500,000. The result is bank
ruptcy, and an auction sale of the prop
erty for S115. 900.

a gamer thereby.
To the parent it would bring relief
from all doubts as to the impartiali'
ty Of teachers which unfortunately
has and we presume will continue to
exist.
By this system it would be possible
to raise the grade of the senior de-
partment materially, giving US the
benefit Of a High School and making
in effect the full public School course
an Academical one.
We do not only believe that this
would be the practical outcome OF
such system but we insist upon it
that the system is practicable and
that under the public school law i
possible, if not intended.

Newspaper

Charles Dudley Warner, at meet
| ing Of the American Social Science
Association at Saratoga, N. Y, on
Sept 6, read paper on THE Amer.
can Newspaper" in which he said some
most excellent things. The most diff
6cult thing to a manager is, he thinks
to know what news is; to determine
just what the people want to know o!
hear discussed. He considers the
enormous development Of local and
neighborhood news, found in the
country weeklieS as perhaps the most
striking feature of the American
newspaper and says that it is Of re.
cent date and due to the advice Civ.
en- country editors by Horace Greedy,
who advised them to give but little
space to general news and to CLEAN
and print every detail Of private life
ia the community. Doubtless the
advice was good for the country pa
per, but we cannot agree that it ben
Gifted the country reader to any ex
tent. However, it was for the editor s
and not the readers benefit, the ad-
vice was given. 1t is claimed that
this advice was given upon theory
based upon deep knowledge Of hu
man nature; namely, that people read
most eagerly that which they already
know, if it be about themselves, or if
it be about their neighbors.
He thinks that there should be
Editorials" only when there is some
prominent subject requiring discus
sion and that a set space should not
be reserved, in which essays appear
when there is really no topic which
the reading public naturally desire to
have discussed. In this Mr.. Warner
displays his best judgement, and the
theory is especially applicable to the
country newspaper. It is uudouoted
ly preferable that the reader should
have access to a column Of interesting
facts as they occur and Of which he
may at some time profit, than that be
should be called upon to digest the
vlllainous logic and abstruse theories
of country philosophers. He has lit
tie faith 10 the power Of the press,
giving as reason and as we see it
fairly good one, that whoever they
