Abuses by the Press.

The New York Hour, ill speaking of the notoriously sensational articles that disgrace the press of late, says An other odious result of this taking the public along on tho hunt is the oppor- tunity it offers to unscrupulous detec- tives to levy blackmail. If that nefa- rious business has not been carried on ill connection with this particular case, then appearances are sadly deceitful. The most outrageous statements have been published in the papers of this city, which were furnished by the detec- tives apparently for the purpose of | frightening one or two wealthy men into shutting the mouths either of the detec- tives or the reporters-probably both. The stories, as printed, were ridiculously improbable; nevertheless they were of a kind which man with money would willingly pay well not to have published. The daily press of this city is ill a great measure responsible for the present state of affairs in this case as ill most others. They sent reporters to the scene of the murder-for what purpose? To tell the main story of the crime, and describe what took place at the public sessions O. the coroners jury? Certainly all that but much more. Each reporter knev perfectly well when he left this city ol the work, that his place on his paper dit not depend upon his telling what i was proper the public should know, bu upon his telling just those things whicl the public had no business to want t know, at least at that stage of the game For example, if the Zgmes publishe
 one day story which the Herald C
 Tribune did not have also (no matte
 how improbable), or which the Heral
 or the Tribune could not match by al
 other equally sensational, the reporter of the last two papers knew perfectl well that they would be abused high all low in their respective offices for "bein
 beaten," and perhaps they would eve
 lose their places. And still it might that the 7Snaes's story had lie ar blackmail written all over the face of i This is supposing an extreme case; b7
 it illustrates the point. In a word, u insane fear in the offices of our gre journals of being ''beaten , is at the be
 tom of most of the abuses of which tl } press of this country is guilty at t
 present day.

never once cried out. Next came a wolf, followed rapidly by others, which swelled the pack to dozen, all ravenous, yelp- ing, snarling, and gaining closely on their prey. Rube raised his rife, fired, and began to load as he had never loaded be- fore. The cries came nearer and nearer. Great God the wolves were upon the woman. It seemed as if no earthly hope could save her, when, quick as an arrow from bow, she swerved to one side, the maddened brutes slid forward on their hind legs and she had gained few steps. Again she flew onward, and again she tried the ruse of swerving aside, the man on the bank in the meantime firing rapidly, and picking off wolf after wolf. A fresh danger arose. The woman evil dently did not see the abrupt break in the ice above the falls, and the dark, swift current which lay beyond. Per haps she was too frightened to hear the rushing waters. On she went, making straight for the falls, the wolves almost on her heels, and the mans voice crying in terrified accents as he dropped on his knee in the snow:
 "Kate Kate! My God save her!'
 The woman was on the brink of the ice, when she made sudden sweep to one side. Nearly the entire pack, unable to check their mad flight, plunged into the water, which carried them swiftly over the rocks, and Kate Wexford was flying toward the river bank, where she fell helpless in the snow, her baby in her arms, while Rube's rife frightened the remainder of her pursuers away. It was some time before she could answer her husbands voice. When strength enabled her to do so she arose feebly in the snow, her resolution to go to her father as strong as ever, but Rube took her hand, knelt down, and said:
 "Kate, bear with me for the last time. As God is my judge I shall never again taste liquor This night has.taught me a lesson which cannot forget"
 Kate believed him and accepted his promise. They then started for Pine vile, Rube carrying the baby, and more than half carrying his wife. When they arrived there Kate told her parents she had been dying to show them the baby, and taking advantage of the moonlight night, had made the journey on skates.
 Rube kept his VOW, the roses bloomed again on Kate's cheeks, and to-day a happy family of boys and girls feel no touch of shame as they look up with pride to their father.

Pork Abroad.

With all the exaggeration sometimes found in Western stories of the ravages of trichinosis, nothing has ever been dreamed of in this country like the ex- perience now reported from Saxony. Deaths daily of persons suffering from the pork disease; four hundred persons ill with it in ten villages, and fifty of them in hopeless condition; one hun dred and eighty cases in Ermsleber surely nothing like this was evel known here, and yet American hogs arc now prohibited from entering Germany The fair inference seems to be that there are no points of disease about American pork materially different from those o an y other pork,

THE ,SLEEPING BEA UTY.

Year after year unto her feet
 She lying on her couch alone Across the purpled coverlet,
 The maiden's jet black hair has grown On either side her tranced form
 Forth streaming from braid of pearl; The slumbrous light is rich and warm,
 And moves not on the rounded curl The silk-star broider'd coverlid
 Unto her limbs itself doth mold Languidly ever, and, amid
 Her full black ringlets downward rolld Glows forth each softly shadowed arm
 With bracelets of the diamond bright; Her constant beauty doth inform
 Stiffness with love, and day with light. She sleeps: her breaihings are not heard In palace-chambers far apart. Inc fragrant tresses are not stirred
 That lie upon her charmed heart. She sleeps; on either hand upswells
 The gold-fringed pillow lightly prest; She sleeps, nor dreams, but ever dwells A perfect form in perfect rest TENNYsoN.

They Sold Him a Hole.

He was telling the story in the billiard room of Denver hotel. Said he:
 ''There were three of us, you see, and Nevada was cold climate for us. We were dead-broke, half-starved, aud clear discouraged, when along came New Yorker. He wouldn'tp play cards, wouldn't be robbed, and We couldn't stick him with forged land-patents or bogus pre- emptions. One day we trailed out and dug hole into hill and salted it bit, and rushed back and offered the New Yorker the big discovery for $3, ,0OO cash down."
 "And he bit?"
 "Took right hold like pair of pin cers. Why, he never even stopped to beat us down. We got cool thousand apiece and made for Frisco"
 "Purty cool that was."
 "Well, I dunno If there was any. thing cool in that transaction it was the way that New Yorker hunted up pard set miners to work, bought machinery and took over $75O,0OO out of that 'a1 hole inside of eight months l Maybe we've got over feeling flat, but I guess not. ."- WaU Street Ne,0s.

PROFITS OF SEED GROWING.

There wal a car load of seeds shipped
from this place ON Tuesday, by Mr. L. c.
Nelson rs local manager i'll this vicinity
for Jerome Il. Rice, secdman, Cambridge,
n. Y. This has been quite a bad year ON
seed growing every where, but our local
ity is ahead in quantity and quality. MIR.
Nelson has spent considerable time to
instruct growers in this locality and from
him we learn that there will be a great
increase in acreage next year. The wet
and cold weather of this summer, together
with the hail, damaged tho crops here
badly and in many instances killed vines,
but we are safe in saying that one acre of
seeds will pay better than three acres of
corn this season, and the better the sea-
son the greater the profits in favor of seed
growing. i Waterloo Gazette.

Il TO THR ACRE.

Corn, we are told, will yield about for
ty bushels to the acre on an average.
Some pieces are a little slow about drying
out, and there will be some soft corn,
owing to the lateness of the spring and
the d~evastations of the hail, but there's
cattle enough being fed to consume all
this, and as it produces excellent beef,
the loss is insignificant. There will
be a heavy shipment of corn from this
country next pring.-[Bennet Indepen.
