LOCAL NEWSPAPER.

The editing of local newspaper is
no light task, as many are led to believe.
The identity and personality of the edi-
tor cannot be concealed or avoided-he
speaks himself and all his readers know
him, and upon him rests the whole
responsibility of all he says. Self-re
spect and an ardent desire to do well
and to deserve well at the hands of his
subscribers and patrons, prompts him
to strive constantly in season and out
of season so to conduct his journal as
to reflect credit upon himself and upon
the community in which it is published.
The first and most essential thing in
the conduct of country journal is to
have it clean. No line OF word should
be admitted to its columns that might
not he repeated in the family circle.
In its dealings with men it should be
fair and just-if occasion should arise
for praise or blame it should be justly
meted out. Personal prejudice and
bias for good or i'll should never control
the editorial columns. As purveyor
of news the weekly paper needs much
watching and constant scrutiny. To
these essentials for the decent conduct
of newspaper must be added the need
Of the earnest cooperation of the COM
munity, among whom it circulates and
for whose benefit, if properly conducted,
it does so much. No class of men know
better than editors the bitterness of the
want Of appreciation and of moral and
material support. If people would only
realize what advantage it is to a town
to have decent, well conducted paper,
they would with one accord tender such
encouragement and support as would
Tighten the editorial burden and lift up
the editorial heart. The labor bestowed
on live local journal is very great and
it should meet with Il generous rec
ognition on the part of all who are
interested in the success and prosperity |
of the place in which it is published

A curious fact was noted at Mt. Airy,
N. j., the other day. While a dry
trench was being reopened punches of
grapes were found in perfect preserva-
tion that had dropped into the dry earth
last fall and lay all winter below the
frost line. When taken out they were
in about as good condition as when they
first fell to the ground last autumn.

s'How to attract editors, is the title
of a newspaper article. Why, bless
your heart, editors are 50 exactly like
other men that pretty woman, modest,
shy, and all that sort of thing, will at
tract them as easily as a magnet does
an iron filing, and the proportion of the
attraction is about the same. The
pretty woman, like the magnet, has all
the advantage.-NeU Hdren Register

The Origin of the Name "Artemus
Ward"

There has been not little specula-
ton as to how Brown came by his nom
de plume, iArtemus Ward Doctor
Shattuck says, that having some conf
Dental business with him during one
of his last visits to Waterford, he took
the occasion to inquire in particular
about it. Brown said it was in this
wise: While engaged at the "Plain-
Dealer office, in Cleveland, Ohio, he
made the acquaintance of an eccentric
old gentleman whose actual name was
Artemus Ward, though assuming some
more pretentious titles. This man was
in the show business, having a few
WAX figgers,, birds, ''snaix,'' and a
kangaroo. While waiting on the prin-
ters for his bills, he amused Brown by
telling an endless number of anecdotes.
all Of which were duly treasured up.
Among these were some of the Incl
dents in Brown S article entitled ED
win Forrest as OthellO.' He referred
to the following as one of the contribu-
tions of the original Artemus Ward:
.'Td was actin at Niblo's Garding, but
let that pars. / sot down in the pit, took
out my spectacles, and commenced peroo-
sin the evenin's bill. AS / was
peroosin' the bill, grave young man who
sot near me aXed me if I'd ever seen For
rest dance the essence of Old Virginny.
Giles immense in that, sed the young
man. He also does fair champion jig
the young man continnered, but his Big
Thing is the Essence of Old Virginny.'
''SeZ L:
"'Fair youth, do you know what I'd do
with you if you was my sun?'
'''No,' sez he.
"'Wall, sez I, I'D appint your funeral
tomorrow afternoon, and the kOrpS should
be ready! You're too smart to live on this
yearth.' >
The old man claimed himself to be
the hero of this story. Brown, how
ever, wanted the credit of correcting
the spelling and of dressing the stories
up in good literary style. Pleased with
the name, he attached it to several of
his comic productions, and finding that
it took with the public, adopted GA.
Ward'' as his own.-Scribner for Nay.
