Editing a Newspaper.

There is one editor who has achieved
the feat of running a newspaper to suit
every body. Occasionally, to be sure,
he has complaints, but he never fails to
satisfy the complainers that they are in
the wrong. It wasn't always so with
him. He only adopted the system aft
er he got desperate. 1t was one day
after he had received seven complaints,
that he tried it. A man came in and
said: "Why in tophet didn't you print
the whole of the proceedings of the
Society for the Prevention of cruelty to
Hogs, instead of brief abstractP" The
editor replied: ..Oh. you made speech
that wasn't in the report, ehP" Then
he went around the counter. The dust
few for few moments and then it be-
came more quiet. The editor relaxed
his grip on the mans throat sufficiently
to let him speak, and he said that he
guessed the article was all right, and
he had only come in to renew his sub
scription. He was let up, paid the
money and left, and as he went out he
collided with man who had an ugly
glare in his eyes, and dancing up to the
editor, said: "What dye mean, sir?
pay for a sensible newspaper and here
get lot of stuff about cruelty to hogs
You ought to be put in Jail for printing
such rot" The editor went around the
counter again, and again the dust flew
and cries of "Take your teeth from my
earr' "Let go o. me hairr' etc, were
heard. 1t was full five minutes before
the editor could get the mans coat torn
off and put him on the floor with his
head in the coal-scuttle. But he did il
at last. Then he jumped high in the
air and sat down upon the mans stom-
ach, and the yell the man gave, echoing
in the coalscuttle, sounded awful. The
editor was about to repeat the opera
tion. but the man said: 1--WE needn't
prolong this agony. Your paper is the
best in the world. It is all right. I'll
take it for ten years in advance" Eight
more visitors had the same experience.
Then came one that the editor couldn't {
thrash. 1t was woman: "What dye
mean by publishing fashion articles
from a three-year-old magazine?" she
asked. 81 made a bonnet according
to your directions and it's three years
behind the style. Oh, you wretchl you
mean, horrid, nsignificant--oh-hr'
..My dear madam" he said, "you are
right. Pm not fit to run paper. I'll
stop at once" (Toa reporter.) ..John.
don't send up any more copy. Kill that
article saying this lady was belle of the
ball last night" '.Stopr' she cried
"your paper is household treasure I
don't care about the bonnet, and came
to ask you to our house to tea tonight. J"
The editor saws he wouldn't drop the
rule for anything. Everybody leaves
satisfied with his paper. Boston Post

Identified by a Dog.

French journals contain accounts of q
terrible accident which occurred at the
railway station of Seclin. A young
man named August Provost opened the
door of4lis carriage and got off on the
side of the other track. He had hardly
got on the track when an express train
from Paris swept by with lightning ra-
pidity and literally reduced him to
atoms. The largest piece found of his
body was foot. The heart was found
on the road torn from the breast and
still beating. The fragments were col
lected and as far as possible restored to
their proper place, the body being
thereupon taken to the hospital OF
Seclin for identification. His wife and
brother-in-law, suspecting that he
might be the victim, came to inspect
the body, but it was impossible to dis
tinguish his features. His dog was
then sent for, who, as soon as he was
brought in presence of the body, set uI
a most dismal howl and began to lick
the bloody remains of his master. The
man was father of six children.

in all probability, produce such an OUT
burst of heat as to destroy every living
thing on the earth. The comet of 1880
was aimed so close to the sun that even
Newton feared it would strike 1t. The
great comet of 1843 went yet closer.
In fact, it grazed the sun, and the great
sun-spot that appeared in that year is
believed to have been caused by the
fall of an enormous meteoric mass fol-
lowing in the track of the comet. It has
also been suggested that the outburst
of light in the sun on September I,
/ 1869, which was accompanied by an
electric shock that produced startling
effects in various quarters of the earth,
was caused by the downfall of other
meteors belonging to the train OF the
same comet
The next most interesting celestial
object for our star gazers appears to
have been Jupiter. Eleven observers
have paid special attention to him. The
wonderful red spot that has adorned the.
disk of the giant planet for over two
years has attracted MANY telescopes,
land has given rise to a great number Of
speculations. The conclusion seems to
be that Jupiter is not yet habitable
globe, but is red-hot ball that is grad
ually cooling down, so that ages hence,
when the earth is dead, like its COM
rade, the moon, life may bloom out In
Jupiter. :
Next to Jupiter in popularity CONES
Saturn Seven observers have taken
particular pains to study his splendid
rings and the little swarm of eight
moons circling about him.
Four have watched Mara, three Mer-
curry, one Uranus, and one Neptune.
Two have spent much time among the
barren mountains of the moon, measur-
ing the height of lofty peaks, triangu--
lating in the beds of dried up oceans.
and searching in hooks and corners
l from the Bay of Rainbows to the crater
of Tycho for some possible Indication
of remaining life.
Three observers have been watching
for glimpse of the shy planet Vulcan,
which, as its name implies, does not
fear to face the fiery sun at close quar-
ters; one has been looking out for as.
teroids. and three have kept watch for
meteors and shooting stars.
The nebulR have attracted special 1T
tertion from one observer, though 10 is
probable that since Prof. Draper has
recently succeeded in photographing
the nebule they will be more studied
The gaseous nebulse are believed to be
solar systems yet in state of chaos,
without form and void. Three observ-
ers have paid special attention to pho
tographing the moon, stars and planetss
and four have spent most of their time
with the double stars, which are among
the most beautiful of all celestial OBJ
jects. Counting and making charts of
stars has chiefly occupied the time Of
four others.

Health and Happiness.

1t seems strange that anyone will suf-
fer many arrangements brought on by
an impure condition of the blood, when
ScoviIle's Blood and Liver syrup will
restore perfect health to the physical
organization. 1t is indeed a strengthen
ing syrup, pleasant 10 take, and has
proven itself to he the best blood puri-
fier ever discovered, effectually curing
Scrofula, Syphilitic disorders, Weakness
of the Kidneys, all nervous disorders
and Debility. 1t corrects indigestion.
1t makes the old feel young, and the
young feel gay; and will invariably
drive out of the system the many ills
that human flesh is heir to. A single

A Broom Drill by Lowell Girls.

The attractive programme presented
by the ladies of the First Universalist
Church last evening drew together q
large audience. Tea was served from
six to seven. after which an hour was
spent in sociability. The attraction of
the evening was ''the broom drill"
The squad consisted of twelve young
ladies armed with brooms and uni
formed appropriately, red, white and
blue alternating in the ranks. under the
command of Captain Cora V. Barnard.
with Miss May Dunlap as drummer.
The brooms were all decorated with
rod. white and blue ribbons, and as the
ladies marched with gay colors flying,
keeping perfect time with the tap of the
drum, they presented quite a warlike
appearance and fairly took the house by
storm. After the usual military tactics
by the word of command, an exhibition
of the silent drill showed proficiency
which was truly surprising. At the
close of the drill the brooms were sold
by auction. bringing from so cents to
$1.50.-Los0eH (Mdss:) Courier.

rnE NEW WATER MAINS.

FIIIugup the Trench with Refuse.
Editors lntelllgencer:
A great deal Of indignation is felt and
expressed by the people living along the
line Of the new water main, concerning
the carting away of the sand and filling OF
the trench with the refuse Of the city.
There should certainly be some means by
which they could protect themselves
against such an outrage.
1t is the opinion OF one OF our most ex-
perienced physicians, than whom there is
no better authority, that it will cause sick
ness. The exhalations caused by the action
Of rains and the sun cannot fail to pro-
duce seige OF fevers and diphtheria, One
would suppose that the scouge the city
has lately undergone from these
diseases would call attention to
sanitary matters, But either from igno-
rance or indifference the authorities hay
| lg the matter in charge utterly ignore such
considerations. The health Of COM
munity Is certainly Of greater Importance
than the pecuniary advantage to be gained
by the sale OF the sand. Will not some

WHEELING, ". "a, DEcENBER Y.


The Richmond Dlpaieh lays stress on
the fact that it was by the colOred voters OF
Virginia that the State was carried against
the Democracy. SO it was, and what OF it?
A eolored man in Virginia is the equal in
the matter oiSulTrage Of white man. His
vote Is in every way just as legal and valid
We lament that more Of tho white people
Of Virginia IRE not Republicans, We
would DO glad to sec tho white and GOlored
vote divided on some other line than the
color line, but Us things stand at present
this Is practically impossible. Tho day is
near at hand, however, when the situation
in Virginia and the South will DO radically
altered. The fact that the blacks Of Vir-
GINA arc poor and ignorant is fact that
we admit. We also lament it. But that
trouble will likewise DO cured some day by
the spread OF education.
Is certainly no just cause OF rcproach
to tho Virginia colored people that they
are poor and ignorant or that they are Re-
publicans. The Scripture tells us that the
OK and the ass know their friends. The
colored people by the instinct OF self'Pres-
eryation know who arc and who have
been their friends in this country. Why
should they not adhere to their political
friends rather than 60 with those who have
always imbruted and degraded them.
All that they are or hope to BIO they owe
to the Republican party
II We were mind to institute something
OF q parallel to the steadiastness with
which the colored voter clings to the
Republican party Us the sheet an
Choir Of his safety, VIC should re-
mind the Dispatch that the Democratic
party depends largely on the vote Of New
York city for It's hopes OF success in any
National election in this country. 1t is
we'll known that the Democratic majority
in that city docs not represent intelligence
or prosperity, but rather ignorance, pov.
crty and vice. Why Is it that so much OF
tho ignorance, poverty and vice oil the large
cities 90 hand in hand with the Demo-
cratic party2 Letthe Dispatch answer this
question. There are $4,000 Democratic
yotcn in New York city that arc just MS
ignorant, and poor, and far more degraded,
than the same number Of colored voters in
Virginia.
