The Clean Newspsper.
Bos,or Herald.

There is 8 growing feeling in every
 healthy community against the journals
 which make it their special object to minister to perverted taste by speaking
 out and serving in a seductive form dis gusting scandals and Gcenuous revela- tions. There is good reason 10 believe
 that the clean newspaper is more highly prized to-day than it was four or five years ago. IL is also safe to predict that, 1 as people in all ranks of life who wish to ! protect their own, ct least, from contam- ' nation. become more conscious of the ] perniciOus influence of a certain class of ! journals called "enterprising," because 1 they are ambitious to serve up dirty ! scandals. they win be careful to see that | the journals they permit to be read in the family circle are oi the class that never forget the pTopTieties of life. Already men and women of refinement and healthy morals have had their at tentiOn called t0 the pernicious influence of bad literature. and have made com mendable efforts to counteract the same ] by causing sound literature to be pub- lished and sold al popular prices. These efforts are working 8 silent but sure
 revolution. The best authors are more
 generally read 10 day than at any pre-.
 vious time. The sickly sentimental
 story paper, and wild ranger and pirate hook are slowly yielding the field to
 worthier claimants To the praise of
 the decent newspaper it may be said
 that where it has Q place in the family and has been read for years, it has de-
 veloped such healthy tone and such & discriminating taste, that the literature l of the slums has no admirers. Forum ately, the number of such families Is in- creasing in the land, and as they in- ! crease. the journal that devotes itself to sickening revelations of immortality will : be compelled to find it's supporters solely among those classes that practice vice or
 crime. or are ambitious to learn to follow
 such ways.

A GRAND STEEPLE CHASE.

 and, he promises, an entertaining book. He remarked that very little literary work was being done at present that would live; and he gave as his reason for so speaking, that the tendency oi the age was to briefness and nippancy, and all who wrote for money were obliged to deal with subjects that from their very ephemeral nature could not be ot the slightest possible interest to posterity and therefore would not be preserved. He was about right.

A Phenomenal Year.
Kansas City Times


 In climatic way, this year has been q phenomenal one. In cold and heat; in rains or floods, and drought, we have passed through an experience both start ling and novel. The whole country. no one portion of it, has shared in the ex- perience of these phenomenal visitations, Heretofore, it has been our experience that if one section of country was visited by flood and rains, and the crops be blighted, that another portion would be spared the visitation to even up in the crops raised the loss caused by disaster elswhere. If cold or heat prevailed in one portion of our country to the de- struction of agricultural industry, it had its compensation in some other section by an unusual yield.
 In fact, heretofore, so varied has been the climate influences and meteorologi- cal conditions over this vast country, that loss in one quarter was repaired by plenty in another. It has been the be- lief that no ore unfayorable condition could effect the whole country, and we had become settled in the assumption by long years of experience, that when crops failed in one place they were sup piled by a yield in another section of our great country. But this years ex- perience has gone far toward unsettling our former conviction. We have had the same natural conditions from ex- treme cold to heat, from rain to drought presented all over this country this year.
 During last winter travel WAS block aded all throughout the north and mid die states. and the west by unprecsdent- ed falls of snow. In the south an un- heard of cold settled down upon that re- zion. and snow fell where it was never heard of before. The floods and rains oi the spring were not confined t0 the west alone. but cotton lands in the South were overfiowed, and great freshets destroyed farms and property in the east,
 The drought, from which we have just escaped, has not been confined ta the corn region alone, but from June to Sep tember a less amount of rain fell all over the west, northwest. and middle states and the east, than has been known with in a generation. The less in the corn crop yield in the west is known to us, and in the other states the damage has been as serious, not only in the loss on the cereal, but on other crops as much dependent upon the rain for yield. The drought has extended over so great an area that the whole country feels 1t, not alone in the loss of the bountiful and necessary products of the west. but in the damage and loss to vegetables, gar den truck, fruits, etc, of the-east; pastur- age all over the country, and. in many instances, even whole communities have been threatened with water famine.
 All in all, this year with its cold, it's rains and floods, its heat and drought has been an unexceptional one, and the loss it has entailed, though 8 silent one, has embraced the greater portion of our country. The result we spprehend will be to make the cost of living dearer, and we are none too soon in cautioning the people to begin the curtailment of ex- penses in luxuries, So as 10 buy the nee essaries al the increased price sure to be demanded from this on.

The Lorillards.
N Y. Letisr.

What a contrast is found in the prince ly state enjoyed by the Lorillards and the fact that the poor girls in their employ are compelled to strike in order to escape from the system of docking" to which they have been unreasonably subjected, Pierre and George LOrillard inherited their business from ancestors whose plain and prudent management laid the foundation Of 8 tobacco empire As a consequence the present IoriUafds have 1 only their immense factories and nalatial residences both in the Fifth avenue and Newport, but also their yachts and their racers. They spend an immense fortune annually on their pleasures, while the poor girls who do much toward these golden profits are docked until they are compelled to strike. l simply offer the contrast as one of the social features of the day. The poor girls give 8 very simple statement of their grievance. They were at one time under the charge of a foreman who treated them fairly, and they were satis- fed. This man, however, was removed because he did not impose the requisite doekage, and another foreman was put in his place, whose severity gratities the rapacity of his employers. Driven thus to the wall by this oppression, the poor girls now strike in selfdefense. The facts of the case bring splendid parlors in the Filth avenue in contrast with the sQushd garret of the operative. Com mAnt is unnecessary. Luxury and oppression al ways go hand in hand, and the greater the wealth of the Lorillards the less will be their sympathy with poverty and tOil.

4 Confederate Millionaire.
vieasburr Herald,


 Since the rise In Confederate bonds a millionaire has been discovered near Birmingham, Alabama He lives two miles from the town, and has supported himself for years by cutting and haul- ing wood to the Birmingham market. There seems to be something lucky in hauling wood. We all remember how Grant in he days before the unpleasant. ness hauled wood to St. Louis. Now he is great and has more money than he knows how to spend Our Birning- ham friend claims that he will cease to cord wood now, as he had the sense when they were plentiful to cord away six or eight cords of Confederate bonds. He says his house will be little breezy, as he Dapered it with Confederate secu- rites, and he will have to remove the papering to realize, but he will try and stand it until he can build brown stsssssis, front.

Sudden Wealth

The Philadelphia papers tell story of man named Timothy Coyle, who was partner with his brother in the liquor business in that city until 1877, when he became insane from fever and WAS confined in the lunatic asylum, two years of the time being in an institution near Baltimore. His brother, Edward Coyle, died in ls7a, leaving no relatives in this country but Timothy. Distant relatives induced a Philadelphia ac- quaintance to administer upon the estate About this time Timothy Coyle was discharged from the asylum entirely sane, and through attorneys he instituted suit to recover the partnership property. The mother in Ireland also claimed the property, and several years of litigation WAS in prospect, when short time ago a settlement was arrived al between the mother and her son Timothy, whereby the payment of large sum of money an assignment of all the mothers interest in the estate of Edward Coyle < Brother, and the estate ot Edward Coyle was made to Timothy Covle. Decrees have been made in the Orphans court and Common Pleas court of Phila- delphia confirming this settlement By this means Timothy Coyle, who two short years ago was an inmate of an insane asylum without property what ever, and with decree of lunacy against him, is made independent for life, the accounts in the Orphans court showing that in cash and debt books alone he becomes the owner ef about SS0,000. and is, moreover, the present owner of real estate worth sbout S20,000 more and has the title to some s25000 more of real estate subject to the interest of his mother.
