THE COUNTRY NEWSPAPER.

IRE COUNTht NEWSPAPER
The following is from an article by
A. H. Deakins, in the Metuchen, N.
J. Enquirer.
The country newspaper holds very
different position to that of its more
pretentious rival, the city sheet. One
is to be found in the mart, the count
ing house, and at the busy merchants
elbow for ready reference. The other
circulates among the quieter rural dis
tricts, and supplies reading matter for
the farmer and the artisan when the
days work is done. A country news
paper has its peculiar sphere ; sphere
which the city press cannot, and cares
not to invade. The little local items
gathered by the reporter, from the
different news retainers as he journeys
along, interest only the people Of par
ticular localities. These locals unless
they were sensational or of great i'm
portance, would never be published
by city editor. No man understands
this fact better than the country edi-
tor, and he scours the neighborhood
far and near for current events. He
knows that it is to his advantage to
pablish what may be termed a news
letter. The planting Of crops, har-
vesting and other laborious work takes
up SO much time that people in subur-
ban districts want all the rest they can
get to refresh and strengthen their
weary bodies. As a consequence
having but little opportunity for writ
ing, they depend on their paper for a
convenient and easy method for con-
veying the news of the neighborhood
to PARKWAY friends and relatives.
Thus the country newspapers perform
a mission which no other journal does
or can. A city editor having picked
a staff of well-trained salaried journal
lists at his command, does not, as a
rule, care to introduce the effects of
occasional contributors !? being too
busy to return rejected manuscripts,
many happy little effect is consigned
to the flames by him. With this
country editorial brother the case is
quite the reverse having but few
immediate helpers, he gladly welcomes
the illusions of outside. To this fact
we are indebted for the publication
of many literary gem, which first
sparkled forth its brilliance in some
little out-of-the way country sheet.
Theauthor of the gem has been intro
duced to the reading world, and per-
haps, as in many instances, another
has been started along the rough road
which leads to honor and wealth
Every day the country is learning that
poets, writers and authors do not all
live in some city Grub street. Thus
the country newspaper offers wide
field for the cultivating Of home talent.
Suggestions are received from sub.
scribers, in a kindly spirit, by the wise
editor, and he becomes through that
he custodian Of many precious Sc
cret. As a matter Of fact he has to
be a kind Of sponge, taking great

AN UNwELCONIE PRESENT.
HOW MRS. LEW WALLACE RECEIVED
THE sULTAN's GIFT OF A CIR

CAsSIAN BEAUTY,
The Sultan of Turkey has presen-
ted General Lew Wallace, the Amer
lean Minister, with a beautiful Circas-
sian girl.-Press dispatch.
This is all that modest telegraph
consented to say about the occurrence,
but the San Francisco Wasp found
ever SO much more to be told. The
fact is that Mrs. Wallace was sitting
OF the front window Of her CONSTANT
nople house, on the verge of going
down to the bazaar for some embroid-
cred stuffs to send home, when cav
alcade drew up before the door,
huge eunuch, arrayed in the Sultan's
livery, knocked and slam-slamm-
ed, and then two eunuchs Of size
smaller brought in and deposited upon
the inside doormat big-eyed, beauti-
ful Circassian girl, whose lustrous
orbs and sparkling jewels were but
little obscured by the flmy gauze
yelling that covered her from head to
foot. Mrs. Wallace started at the
girl in dumb amazement.
"What do you want9" she said.
The girl shook her head.
"Mustaby, MustabyY cried Mrs.
Wallace sharply. "What does this
meanl"
Mustaby came from the floor below,
where he had been polishing some
knives with Bristol brick. He dropped
knife and brick when he caught sight
Of the visitor. "Ah, ha," he ejacu-
lated with satisfaction, as he saw the
imperial insignia; SIT is a present. It
is a magnificent present. His High
ness has smiled upon my master and
has sent him his choicest slave"
"And what is his choicest slave
going to do in this house, I would
like to know7" continued Mrs. Wal
lace with vinegary CLEAN of sar-
casm.
"She will bring my masters coffee
to him when he awake in the morn
ing and afectionately superintend his
morning additions +"
"She will, will she?" remarked
Mrs. Wallace as she gritted her teeth
very hard, "She will affectionateIy
superintend his mornings additions,
will she2" as she steathily fingered
bric-brac cimetar and glared at the
offending Present.
Then she walked straight up to the
beauty on the door mat, pointed her
index finger out the front door and
remarked; $50 way"
The Present stared at her stupidity.
$50 way, tell you You're a
shameless huzzy to come intruding
on respectable family in this way,
Tho Present did not look as though
she had done anything particularly
infamous, and showed no disposition
to move.
Mrs. Wallace could contain her
self no longer. She few at the Pres
emit, grabbed it by the shoulder, and
was hustling it down the stairs when
General Wallace came around the
corner rather flushed from rapid
walking. He took in the situation at
a glance.
ooh Lewisl" cried his wife, with
accumulated horror; "did you ever
hear of such athing7"
Lewis did not look terrified, though
he evidently was. He evidently had
heard Of such things, for there was a
doubtful look on his face, Finally
he said:
II don't think Maria, that I would
put it out into the street. It's not to
blame you know"
There was faint snap in Mrs,
WaIlace's eyes, but she nodded and
lured him on farther.
