Printing the News.

The Worcester Spy has recently disposed of
a question arising out of request not to print
certain item of news by reasonable exer-
else of its rights as public journal which it
enforced against the wishes of some of it's
readers. A local church paid off its entire
debt by the subscriptions of members, and the
names of the subscribers, with the amounts
given by each, were announced in the church
before an audience of at least one thousand
people. There certainly was no secret about
it. A request was then made of the Spy that
it should suppress the names which were read
in public, and compliance was courteously re-
fused on the ground that tn o was nothing in
the character of the news ior in the way in
which it was obtained to Justify its suppress
sion.
In this case the judgment of the editor was
well applied, and it will be found that in most
cases where the question of publishing mat
tess is submitted to the intelligence Of good
journalist his decision will more properly con-
suit the very interests which are disposed to
complain of his action than if he had complied
with the demands made upon him. There is
no doubt that much is published in the news
papers which might better be omitted, but this
proves nothing as against the claim that pru-
dent and conservative journalist is the best
judge of what to print when confronted by re-
quests to suppress news which some people
may think is for their interest to have sup
pressed. There is not an experienced editor
in the country who cannot recall numerous
instances where, having published matters
against the desires of well-meaning persons,
the same people who at first demonstrated have
admitted subsequently that his position was
correct.
The most frequent calls at newspaper offices
to ask special favors in the suppression of
news are by persons who want nothing said
about matters which are not only running
the course of public gossip, but are extrava-
gantly and many times wicaedly circulated. In
these cases, to put stop to ill founded reports
and do even and exact justice to oil parties,
the very best thing to do is to publish the facts;
and yet it is usually difficult task to convince
objectors that suppression of the facts Is an
encouragement to scandal.
People who find fault with newspapers for
publishing some item of news do not appreci-
ate how many of the current events Of the
time are permitted to pass unnoticed. There
is failure to credit the newspaper with
the discrimination which it employs in the
collection and "sifting out' of its news. To
find fault is easy, but if newspaper readers
could understand all the internal workings of
daily papers-taking account of what is done
to consult individual tastes and whims and in
terests and of the disposal of constant appeals
to print this or suppress that-they would be
more charitable in their judgments many
times, and we are sure that all reasonable per
sons would consider that the reputable news
papers of the country are to be commended for
the excellence and careful methods of their
work.

The Type of a Class.

There is the man who has made up his mind
to keep his health good by eating the right sort
of food in proper quantities, and with the right
kind of mastication. Resolution sits upon his
brow, his eyes turn scornfully upon his fellow
men. and he deliberately and with malice
aforethought sits in restaurant with superbly
folded arms, painfully working his mouth as
if he were type of Samsons celebrated jaw
bone engaged in the duty of Staying a
bit of brown bread. He becomes nui-
sance to his landlady or his wife; he
buys fish which he eats for his brains,
and struggles in the morning with harsh oat-
meal and sour baked apples, chewing, chew
ing, chewing, while casting contemptuous
glances around at the disgusted people who are
not so good and are not going to be so healthy
as he is to be. He turns his toe out, abhors
butter, and walks on the side of the street
which is healthiest. His children receive no
candy, and his wife receives only scolding
because she does not live up to the laws Of
health. He becomes pale, fretful and morose,
and says of healthy man, "He lives for his
stomach" while he is dying for his.

AMPUTATION OF THE LEG.
The old Family Physician at Fault-Dr.
David Kennedy the Successful Surgeon.

Money is the universal necessity, and none but
cynic or afool will affect to despise it. MrAbram
Ellsworth, of Port Even, Ulster county, N. Y, had
realized this truth. His disease involved the whole
OF his high-bone, and the suffering looked for
ward, not without apparent reason to death as his
only deliverer. His family physician refused to am
putate the limbasserting that the operation would
kill the patient on the spot. DR.. Dauid KENNE-
DY, of Rondout, N. Y, who was consulted, held
different opinion and amputated the limb. The
Doctor then administered freely his great Blood
Specific FAVORITE REMEDY to afford tone and
strength to the system prevent the return of the dis
ease, and Mr.. Ellsworth remains to this day in the
bloom of health. The gentlemans disease was the
offspring of foul blood, and Kennedy's FAVORITE
REMEDY purified the blood and restored to him
the power more to enjoy his life. Are you suf

Profits of Cattle Raising.

To illustrate the profits of cattle rails
ing in Texas, we take the liberty OF
publishing brief estimate of the sue
cess attained b. friend of ours dur
ing the past eight years. In 1878 the
gentleman referred to had 5000 head
of cattle which he offered, with his
horses, rancho, etc, for $4,000, but
could find no purchaser, and was fore
ed TO hold onto his cattle Last year
he sold from this same stock $4,000
worth of beef, and this year has con-
tracted to one party over 500, 900 worth
of beeves. In addition he expects to
sell and ship this season $4,000 worth
of beef out of the stock, making the
sales this year over $4,000 and still
have on his range over 10000 head Of
cattle, 400 head of horses, outfits, etc,
amounting to the snug little amount
of 500, 900. This amount in stock and
probably half that amount in cash
from S25, 900 stock in eight years is
convincing evidence that there is
money in the cattle business in Texas
These figures are not exaggera'ions,
but are given from facts; end Of our
own knowledge no part OF inis remark
able success has been due to specula
ton, but to the simple legitimate in
crease of the stock-the plan pursued
during these eight years being to sell
annually a lot Of beeves and at once
re-invest the money thus received in
young cattle. -IeDds Lire Stock Journal

Fast Fun Ahead.

1t was whispered about the railway
offices yesterday that the Pennsylva-
MIA Railroad company is considering n
proposition to fight Vanderbilt with
fast time. The idea is to put on a
train which shall make the run between
Chicago and New York in about TWEEN
ty hours. This is to be done, if deter
mined on, by reducing the running
time of the present fast train between
Chicago and Pittsburg, and putting on
a flyer between Pittsburg and Philadel-
phia. The present time schedule of
one train between Philadelphia and
New York is as fast rs can be made
on any road in the world, The ninety
miles are made in about one hundred
and ten minutes. If this departure is
a determined one, there will be fast
fun on all the lines. The Vanderbil;
roads will not be content to make slow
er time than may be made by the
Pennsylvania, and the dirt and gravel
will fill the air along all the lines. At
the time convention, the other day,
q representative of the Pennsylvania
Railroad company stated that, owing
to the cut in rates, his company was
not prepared to participate in the meet.

Garfield Tuesday afternoon and even

emily over 90 years of age, pleasant and

Keeping Winter Squashes.

An Iowa subscriber writes that VIII en-
he goes to Chicago, no matter what the
time of year, he finds at hotels and res
taurants delicious squash pies, evident
ly made from some variety of winter
squash. He wants to know if he is
right in this conjecture, and, if so, how
the squashes are kept. He is correct;
the Hubbard and Marblehead are most
used at Chicago for this purpose. Mr..
A. Dunning, of Jefferson, Illinois, who
grows so to 40 acres of these squashes
every year for this and eastern markets,
has succeeded in keeping these varieties
from October until year from the
succeeding January, and readily keeps
them until midsummer. He recently
disposed of carload at $50 per ton
His entire crop brings him an average
of about $40 per ton. He gathers
and handles them with care, places
them in a house kept at uniform
temperature of about As degrees, upon
shelves two squashes deep. Occasion
ally as the season advances, the
squashes are examined, and if signs OF
decay are observable upon any Of
them, such are at once removed. As
may be inferred, Mr.. Dunning finds the
crop a very profitable one.

The Dream that Frightened a Woman
Bath (Me.) Times.

A lady in Bath was recently much
alarmed by dreaming that some one
was holding her wrist. Vainly endeav-
oiIng to scream for assistance, she sue
ceeded at length in whispering just
loud enough to awaken herself. After
a few minutes relief at being no longer
under the influence Of the dream, she
became CONSCIOUS that some one was
really holding her left wrist, and all
her strength was inadequate to re-
lease it. Whether to call her
hostess or not was quickly decid-
ed, for her terror rendered her as
speechless as she had been before
awakening. 1t could not be that any
of her friends had seized her wrist in
sport; it was too rigid clasp, and
had been continued some time for her
left hand was cold and numb. But
Just as she should be able to speak in
a moment she found the relentless
grasp was that of her own right hand,
and not easy to withdraw from its twin
companion, SO desperate had become
its hold.
