English Journalism.

The big writers are paid retaining fees
not to write for more than one paper.
Then they are paid so much column
for what they write. So wild and I'M
governable is the editorial mania that at
least one paper-the Enthusiastically
keeps man in Paris at salary of
$4,000 year, whose business it is to
send a long editorial telegram every day.
Newsp Not any, Nothing but his own
private opinion of whatever may be 90
ing on over there. This dispatch usual
ly has the most prominent place in the
paper, and sometimes it fills two or
three columns. 1t is the same system
of management which induces the de-
votion of not more than half or three
quarters of column to such paltry
event as the fatal burial of about sixty
people in the ruins of n falling mill.
The editors cling to the long-winded
editorial business here because they
think anything else would be failure,
and because their grandparents had
it that way. They are great chin
ners about the dignity of journalism,
and they don't take into consideration
the possibility that paper which is all
dignity gets to be almighty stupid. There
are few journals in London which are
beginning to demonstrate the fact that
brevity is the most popular thing after
all. Such weeklies as Truth and the
World, and such dailies as the Pail Mall
Gazette, go in for short articles and para
graphs, to the exclusion of the stupid
old system of telling things The Daily
News is beginning to fall into line, too;
but that, fancy, is because Labouch-
ere, who owns Truth, and has made it
one of the most valuable pieces of prop
erty in the world, is also one of the pro-
prietors of the NeUS.

SURPRISES OF beautiful bits OF water are
the greatest charm of the place. Driv-

he comes suddenly on another land
locked, unsupported harbor,-the Es-
quimault harbor, with its own little
hamlet. Skirting around this, and
bearing back toward the town again, by
a road farther inland, he finds that to
reach the town he must cross inlet after
inlet. Wooded, dark, silent, amber
colored, they are very paradise for
lovers of rowing; or for lovers of WOO

again and again on a tiny craft, in
which two sat with idle oars. At other
times, as we we're crossing some pictur-
esque stone bridge, pleasure barge,
with gay flags flying, and young men
and maidens singing, would shoot out
from under it, and disappear around o
leafy corner. From every higher
ground we could see the majestic wall
of the Olympic range rising in the south.

A SUNDAY TRAGEDY.
Ike Paradise Killed By His StepseD, Jehn
Sewer, at Paradise Ridge,
Davidson County.
The King Of Peter FuBks-A Terrible
Piece OF Criminal Carelessness-
An Act OF Vandalism.

Special to the Appeal
NASHVILLE, Tim, June Axe Paradise
was shot dead BY his step-son, John Sewer,
on Paradise Ridge, Davidson county, y ster-
day afternoon. The facts conn cted with the
origin OF the ARRAY Idate back to last fall.
John Sewer and several other young men
shot and killed some hogs which they found
running out in the woods on the ridge. The
hogs belonged to the residents of that neigh
borhood, and man named McGraw, who
saw the party in the act of killing the hogs,
reported the fact 10 the owners, who threat
ened 10 have the boys indicted. This raised
the anger Of the men, and they swore ven
gesnce against McGraw, threatening to run
him out OF the county or kill him. McGraw
went to Ike Paradise, who took him into his
house and concealed him for several days, ur-
til he could leave, which he did, coming to the
city. When Sewer and his party heard of
this, they turned against Paradise, and have
been making all manner Of threat against
him since that time. Yesterday afternoon.
John SEWER, accompanied by Bill Adcock,
lack Ressoner and three Tate boys went to
Paradise's place and psraded up and down
in front of the house for some time, cursing
and abusing Paradise in the bitterest terms,
Paradise stood this as long as possible, but
at last, their abuse becoming unbearable,
went out and tried to get them 10 leave, but
instead, Henry Tate jumped on him and the
others kicked and punched him, while Tate
held him down. He finally got away, and
picking up an iron wedge struck Henry
Tate over the head. During this scuffls
Sewers mother was holding him of, but
fearing someone might get hurt, turned
him loose to call for help. Sewer, the
moment he got away, ran up, either to
Adcock or Rsasoner, both of whom had guns
and snatching up gun fir at Paradise, who
dropped dead, pierced through the heart anC
lungs. As soon as this was done Sewer and
his party took 10 the woods and have no
as yet been arrested. Justice Earthmsn was
called in and held an inqu st. Judge Allen
this morning issued bench warrant for th'
arrest of John Sewer and pals. All parties
engaged in The ARRAY are prominent in tn
locality named.

The Act Of q VandaI.

The good people OF the town of Bayou
Goala, in Iberville parish, were startled last
Thursday morning on hearing of the com
mission of an act, which is truly barbaric,
by some, 81 yet, unknown 6snd. The act we
refer to was the uplifting of the cornerstone
of the St. Paul Catholic church in that town
last Wedn lay r'Zht. and the stealing of all
the vaIuabl that HAD b N placed therein,
when the cornerstone was laid in the year
1871. We learn. very reliably, that great
many vslusbles mad been deposi. d there on
the occs3ion, and a comparatively large
amount of money is supposed to have been
in, among other things. On Thursday
morning it was discovered that the brick
work around the stone was broken, the
stone rolled out, and everything tina. was
there gone. This is an act, verify, of a
vandaI, and we can truthfuliy say that
the commission of this is a crime as afro
cious as we have seen or heard of for long
time. The thief left no visible clew for the
people of Bayou Goula 10 work upon, but
we are told that suspicious rests mighty
strongly on an individual who but snort
while ago was released from Mr.. James's
quarters. We sincerely hope that the cav
age who committed this heinous crime will
soon be brought before the bar of justice, and
that the full extent of the law in such cases
will be his allotment.

1hE PRECIOUS METALS.
ABSTRACT OF THE REPORT OF TIE DIRECTol
OF THE MINT.

ABSTRACT OF THE REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR
OF THE MINT.
WASHINGTON, June 4.-The following is
an abstract OF the special report OF Burchard,
Director Of he Mint, upon the production OF
precious metals in the United States now in
the hands of the printer: The yield of the
mines of the United States for the year 1882
was 49,, $1,000 in gold and $46, 500, 900 in
silver Compared with the previous year,
this shows a decline of 81, 1000 in gold and
an increase of IS 100000 in silver. The
comparative decline in the production of
gold WAS greater il California than in any
other State or Territory, the yield bsiug
81 ,400, 600 less than in 1881. This resul d
from the interruption of hydraulic mining
in come northern and middle counties of the
State, owing 10 litigation, and also from a
falling off in the production of the quartz
mines at Bodie. IN Oregon, where the min
ing is chiefly placer, there was diminution,
and also in Nevada, Idaho and Dakota. In
silver, the principal increase was in
Idaho, Montans and New Mexico. Idaho
shows an increase of 100000, Mon
tsna S1,740000 and New Mexico
| 81 100000. Colorado furnish about $780,
| 900 lees silver than 10 1881. OF the bullion
| production of the country, S30,964,95S in
| gold and S3l ,400,792 in silver we're deposited
at the minis and assay offices for coinage or

and there were exports Of SIZE, 900 in silver

In 1882 So, 939, 975 were paid in dividends
by incorporated companies. This was a
slight falling off from the preceding year.
One hundred and seventy five companies
made assessments upon stockholders tor The
purpose Of CARRYING on mining operations
amounting to about 100000. During the
year there was a greater decline IN the
amount deposited at minis aud assay offices
than the difference between the gold produc-
ton of 1881 and 1882, but there was a large
amount of gold consumed by the mechanical
Industries OF the country. The amount oil
silver deposited at the minis and assay
offices increased about S., 800 900, which cor
responds closely to the increased production
of the year. The excess Of production over
the consumption for the year, added TO the
net imports of gold, resulted in net gain
to circulation of less than 100000 gold.
but by coinage and net import OF coin the
metallic circulation ga ined nearly S39, 700,-
900 gold and about $27 500, 900 in silver coin.
California sill maintains the first place
in the list of gold and silver produc-
ing States and Territories, and ia
likely to do SO for some time to come,
The suits brought TO prevent the deposit
of debr;s from placer and hydraulic mines
have been virtually settled. More attention
is also being paid to developing quartz mines
in Colorado and their low grade ores by the
improved amalgamating process, which
promises to yield in the future steady if not
large profits. Its gold fields show no evil
dence Of exhaustion, on the contrary, the
magnitude of deposits in sncient river beds,
the number and permauence Of quartz lodes,
as well as the virgin ground yet undeveloped
insure golden harvest for many years TO
come. Nevada shows decrease in gold and
silver OF about ST SOC, 900, which is chiefly
due to the rapid decline in the yield of the
great Comstock lode, which reduces il from
the first to the third rank. This State has
suffered probably more than any other min
ing section from stock specuistioEs and mis-
management in mining, but reaction seems
to be setting in, and mining 10 Nevada
is being conducted on more substantial
basis. In Montana the mining industry hiss
increased In importance. The yield in all
yer, which was $2,6S0,0 900 in 1881, is in 1882
s., $4,000. Utah shows an increased pro-
ductiou o. 100000 in silver, ard the per-
maneucy of the mining industry OF the Ter
ritory is assured. Arizona has maintained
her large production, nearly $3.50 900. New
Mexico, the oldest mining section of the
country, has not hitherto appeared az large
producer of bullion, bat during the last two
years rich discoveries have BEEN made, which
increased the annual production to 81 ,S00,-
600. In Color ado it has been claimed that
there was large excess Of production in
1882 over that of 1881, but from an exsmi-
nation of the reports Of the shipments Of ore
and bullion and smelling works, Shows the
increase 10 have been In the value Of base

UPON THE OLD EAkrH A NEW SEA

We are not aware that F. De Lssseps IL Co.
have a sign up in Paris stating ST. De
Lesseps & Co., Sea Manufacturer" but into
the sea manufacturing busin~s5 they appear
to have gone. Beyond Tunis is an extensive
country Of sand and rock long known as the
Desert OF Sahara. II il found that this dc1ert
is below the surface of the NJ litensnean
sea, and NJ. De L s7eps proposes to dig
a canal which will let the waters of the
Mediterranean run into the desert and con-
vert it into sea. By this sea it is exp :ted
the raiofall will be increased and the crops
of the surrounding country with them, while
communication could DO had ali along the
new coast with the rich interior country.
The present intention il TO food what are
known az the Chots, large msrshy lakes
which extend from Gabes to Bistria, 500
miles inland. The water is TO be admitted
by canal starting from Tozier, and will make
sea of between 1000 and 5000 miles area,
and deep enough to admit the usual sea
vessels. u. De Lssseps says The canal will
be easily cut, as at the opening toward the
sea all the soil is sand; at the base of the
Gabes bar lies a deposit of sandstone which
will supply the material for putting up piers
and port buildings. The time of completing
the work is estimated at Eve years, the ex-
pense S30,000,000. The proposition to con-
struct sea, with its port and other appur-
| tenaDces, certainly looks the boldest project
| man has yet undertaken. The native that
wanders in the Soudan forests will be as
