Making a Newspaper.

II you look at a newspaper you will
observe that it is divided into few de-
partments, broadly distinguished from
each other. These departments are:
First, the record of cases at law,
usually embraced under the head of
court news.
Second, the list of prices-that is. the
page of financial and commercial matter,
and whatever pertains to trade through.
out the paper.
Third, the leader, that is, the express
sion of opinion on political affairs which
the editor of the paper makes, whether
he chooses to make it in long winded es-
says or in short, crisp paragraphs.
Fourth, the general news, which mod
ern convenience has divided into local,
telegraphic, correspondence and mis-
cellany-that is, selections from othe,
newspapers, but which in point of origin
are practically.
Cincinnati news written for O Cincin-
matt paper IS local; telegraphed to Chi
cago it becomes dispatch; rehashed in
a letter to New York it becomes CORES
pondence; clipped and credited, or un-
credited, in London parer, it becomes
miscellany. Births, deaths and mar
riage notices were of old considered very
important events, and they form a dis
tinct and very prominent feature of the
modern newspaper; but journalistic law
now places them among those matters
of purely personal interest, which should
be paid for by the people who insert
them Cincinnati Enqui1er

Thrift or French Women.

Preach women, often stigmatized as
the most frivolous of their kind, are in
reality the most thrifty, virtue that fre-
quently degenerates into absolute parsi-
mony. saw striking instance of max
ing the best of unregarded trifes when
dining with one who certainly had a
reputation for prudence. A cherry pie
had been on the table, and the mistress
gave strict iniuctions that all the stones
were to be scraped from the plates and
placed in her store room. I ventured to
ask the reason, ana was told that not
only cherry, but plum, peach and all
manner of stones, whether cooked or
raw, were invariably saved, gently dried
in the oven, and kept in q great jar.
s'Then," said madame, sin the winter,
when the fire burns clear and bright in
the evening, I fetch handful and
throw them among the glowing Goals.
They crack and splutter for moment,
send up brilliant fame, and the whole
room is filed with delicious odor. -

mainder reduced one-half.
That the employment of two of fam
lily by blood or marriage in the same de-
partment of the State government be
