Everything is bad" would be the
natural conclusion one forms after
reading almost any newspaper. The
more people read distinctively news
papers, the less faith there is in hu-
manity- News men make it point
to gather news concerning anything
that will excite curiosity or comment,
and, unfortunately, the story Of CRIME
never sours, but the morbid appetite
Of the public is capable Of relishiDg
any amount ofscandal. To an extent
newspapers are what their patrons
make them. If publishers find it
"pays" to pander to the lowest tastes,
the chances are they will issue bad
sheet, filling it with "tak,pg stuff"
A paper that would have its readers
believe everything is bad is not the
paper or the household. There are
a 'hnussrd good deeds that are never

is hrralded around the globe. There
are lag-rs OF Ia'ge circulation, whose

papers attack geverDments, men and
things without respect to justice; aud
public buy these papers to see what

"a extent is this true that many prom.
inent men may have bsen made so by
having their names attached to the
story of some crime. The world ia
better than might sometimes be sup-
pressed, aud everything is not bad.

Mail facilities have not advanced in
this State to the same extent as other
business accommodations. A letter
sent from Connecticut to this Office on
one day would reach here the next
day, while letter addressed from
some point ten or twelve miles distant
is often more than two days on the
journey. Thus it is that many sub
scIibers to THE NEWS receive their
copies of the paper two and even three
days after the publication day. So
many of the post offices along the line
of the railroads are small and 10 such
cases the mail is carried past them, on
to Philadelphia, redistributed and
sent to where it belongs. With such

The Month of. August. -
There is not large number of readers
who understand that February was cheat
ed out Of a day by the month of August
but such is the fact This month, ike
July, ows its name to the Roman Caesars,
the Emperor Augustus having followed
in the footsteps of his illustrious predeces-
sor by appropriating month to himself.
When Julius Cesar changed the calender
August continued to have thirty days,
while February had twenty-nine and in
leap year thirty. To crafty the vanity
of Augustus, one day was taken by the
obsequi1us Senate from February and
added to August, 80 as to make his month
equal in extent and dignity to July.

THE .BOK MAJOR,
Now Known as tho Rev. 4. II. Ridden,
of ST. PauI.

ST. PAUL, December 16.-The Rev. r. r.
Riddell, who was with appropriate services
installed on Thursday as pastor of the First
Baptist church of 81. Paul, has a remarkable
history. AT he age of fifteen he enlisted as
a drummer boy in the Army of the Potomac
On the field of the contending armies, when
his drum could not be heard above the din
and roar of bate, he seized the gun OF
fallen soldier and rushed into the fight. At
Petersburg, amid a shower of bullets, he
captured the Confederate colors, aud his
bravery on that occasion called from the
United States Congress special act voting
him medal. AT seventeen years OF sge be
was major and attached 10 Han
cocks staff. He was the youngest major. in
the United States army. Being small OF
stature and youthful in appearance
he became known as "the boy major"
Clad in ragged clothes, and passing
himself one of the poor white boys Of
Virginia, he made his way 10 the camp
of the Confederate general, Ewell, in whose
favor he finally SO ingratiated himself as to
occupy the position of body-servant to the
general. This afforded unusual opportunity
Tor secret information of the plans and
movements of the enemy's forces. He was
finally suspected, and his escape was marvel
GUS. When the war closed hs was lieutenant
colonel by brevet and only nineteen years of
age. Col. Riddell then entered Madison
University, at Hamilton, N. Y, and gradu-
ated with the honors oil his class. He took
course of medicine and began practice as a
physician, but, impressed from bis early
youth that he should preach the gospel, he
turned TO that calling. For about five years
be has been pastor of the Baptist church at
Wakefield, a suburban city of Boston. The
earnestness which he displayed as boy IN
the army he has carried into the ministry,
with uncommon gifts as an orator.

A MUSCULAR MISS.
The Experience of Brooklyn Girl
with n Burglar.

New YORK, December 16.-Some even
ings ago Miss Alice Weaving, who resides
with her parents at Brooklyn, fell asleep
while reading in bed. After time she
awoke and found Herself in darkness, but,
being sleepy, gave no thought as TO how the
gas was turned off, Taking shawl from
her shoulders which she had placed there
while reading, Miss Weaving reached out
to put it on chair which she knew stood be-
side the bed. She felt the shawl drop on the
hoor, and, picking it up, she again essayed
to place il on the chair The second time
her hands came in contact with mans
head. At first she thought it was her
Younger brother who was playing some trick
on her. but in the same instant she remem-
bered that her brothers hair was not curly,
while that of the man whose head her hand
had touched was. Miss Weaving acted
very promptly. She grasped the man
firmly by the hair, and drawing him quickly
toward her, clasped the other hand round
his throat, calling vigorously for help while
she was IN the act of securing the intruder.
When Miss Weaving's father reached the
room and lit the gas, the burglar, for such
the intruder proved to be, was almost choked
TO death. II the fact is taken into consid-
Grafton that Miss Weaving, although only
Young girl, weighs 217 pounds, and is built
in proportion, it will be seen that the
prompt arrival of the father was little less
than providential for the burglar. The lat
ter. who was turned over to police officer
without loss of time, gave his name as
Charles Reynolds, and said he resided at
No. 22l7 Lexington avenue, in this city.
REYNOLDS was indicted by the Kings county
grand jury.
