AMERICAS NEWSPAPERS IN 1888.

From the new edition of Messrs. Geo.
P. ROwell q Co.'s American Newspaper
Directory, which is now in press, it ap-
pears that the newspapers and periOdi-
Gals of all kinds issued in the Omitted
States and territories now reach the inn
posing total of IL, 1856. This is an in
crease of 585 in twelve months. Taking
the States one by one, the newspaper
growth in some is very considerable.
The present total in New York State,
for instance, is 1,399-a gain of 80 in the
past year. The increase in Pennsyl-
Vania is 48, the existing number being
943. Nebraska's total grew from 175 to
POI, and Illinois from 800 to 904. A
year ago Massachusetts had APO papers; E.;
now the number Is 438. In Texas the
new papers Outnumbered the suspen-
siOns by 8, and Ohio now has 1888 papers
instead of 692. The most remarkable
change has occurred in the territories,
in which the daily papers have grown
from 43 to 70, and the weeklies from 1859
to 248-DakOta being the chief area of ac-
tivity. The number Of mOnthlies
throughout the country grew from 976
to 1,034, while the dailies leaped from
995 to 1852. The figures given above
are exclusive Of Canada, which possess
ses total of 9O6. 1t is interesting to
note that the newly settled regions of
the Canadian North West are productive
of newspapers as we'll as of wheat, for
the number of journals issued in Mani
tOba was nearly doubled during the year.

THE FOX AND THE HARE.

Fox who was gamboling about had

But the Hare determined to heap Goals
of fire on his head and prove her own
fOrgiving spirit. She therefore brought
him water and food and nursed him un-
til he was quite able to take care of
himself. The very next day after they
separated the Hare was crossing field
when she found herself pursued by a
Fox. After running long distance she
was OVertaken, and as she was knocked
over she recognized in her assailant the
very Fox whose life she had saved.

Piles.

PILES are frequently preceded by
sense of weight In the back, lOins and

patient to suppose he has some affection

At times, symptoms of indigestion are
present, as fiatnlency, uneasiness of the
stomach, etc. A moisture, like perspi-
ration, producing very disagreeable
itching, particularly at night after get

SAVED BY A SEA BIRD.
Sailor Lost Overheard Clings to the Body
of an AIbatross.

A Sailor Lost Overheard Clings to the Body
of an AIbatrOss.
A singular story has been related to
us by the master of the bark Gladstone,
which arrived from London last Satur-
day. On the 22d of la4t month, while
the vessel was in latitude AZ degrees
south and longitude 80 degrees east, a
seaman fell overheard from the star
board gangway. The bark,w was scudding
along with a rough sea and moderate
wind, but on the alarm Of "man over
board" being given she was rounded to,
and the starbOard life-bOat was lowered,
manned by the chief officer and four
men. A search for the unfortunate man
was made, but owing to the rOughness
of the sea he could not be discOVeIed; {;
but the boat steered to the spot where
he was last seen. Here they found him
tiOaGing, but exhausted, clinging for
bare life to the legs and wings of huge
albatrOss. The bird had swOOped down
on the man while the latter was strug-
CLING with the waves and attempted to
peck him with his powerful beak. Twice
the bird attacked its prey unsuccessful-
ly, being beaten off by the sailor batVl-
ing with two enemies-the water and
the albatrOss-bOth greedy and insati-
able. For the third time the huge
white form Of the bird lowered over the
seaman, preparatory to final sWoOp.
The bird, eager for its meal, famed its
victim with its widespread wings. Sud-
denly thought occurred to him that
the huge form so close to his face might
become his involuntary rescuer. Quick
as thought he reached up and seized
the bird, which he proceeded to strangle
with ali his might. The huge creature
struggled with wings and paddles to
free itself. In the contest the sailor
was beaten black and blue, and cruelty
lacerated, but he held his own, and
slowly the bird quiVered and died. The
carcass 1Oated lightly on the waves, its
feathers forming comfortable support
for the exhausted man, who had so mar
rOwly escaped a lingering death. But
another danger awaited him. He was
not much of swimmer, and the excite
ment of the extraordinary conflict be-
gan to tell upon him. He was faint and
grew giddy. But with one arm around
the albatrOss' body. under the wing,
and one hand clutching Ethe birds feet,
the sailor awaited his chance of rescue.
Presently he heard his comrades shout
from the boat, and In few minutes was
safe on board the bark, though good
deal shaken and exhausted. - Sydney

The Proposed Great Port on the Pacific
Coast.

According to the plans to establish
a line of steamships on the Pacific
ocean in connection with the Atchison,
Topeka and Santa Fe railroad, it ap-
pears that direct railroad line is to
be built from Kansas City to Quay
mas, through a fine country, thence
a steamship line is to run a number
of the finest iron vessels direct on
the Sandwich Islands, Auckland, New
Zealand, then Sydney, there connect
ing with another steamship line for
Melbourne and all parts of Australia,
or by way of the Sandwich Islands
to Yokohama, Japan and the Chinese
ports. Guaymas, tits claimed by the
promoters of this scheme, is the finest
Pacific coast port. The town lies on
a slope, with plateaus thatact as rain
sheds, leaving the city thoroughly
drained. The largest steamship in
the world can, it is claimed, 60 night
up to the docks to unload. Any sized
fleet can find harborage. Among
other advantages claimed, tits pointed
out that it is right near the mouth Of
the gulf of California. 1t is 600 miles
nearer to Australian and japanese and
Chinese steamship ports than San
Francisco, the present port for thai
traffic.

-Whitesboro Neus: This week
we have talked with farmers from
nearly al portions of the county, in
regard to the wheat crop, and they
say that the prospect now is anything
but fattering. Most of the wheat
was planted late, but with the right
sort of weather it may make a good
crop yet. There was notas much sown
last fall as usual, owing to the fact
that the wheat for the last few years
has not been good.
Among the many gratifying scenes
to be witnessed by travelling through
this country is the improvement in
house building. The low roof dwell
ings which were accustomed to greet
visitor to the rural regions several
years ago are being rapidly displaced
by story residences which have
an air ofcomfort about them very in
viting indeed. The fencing, too, is
beginning to show very marked de-
gree of improvement, the old time
being supplanted by the more durable
and slightly barbed wire fence. In
fact, visit in any direction will
force upon an observer the marked
degree of improvement going on in
this and adjoining counties.-Terretl

welcomed by all the State. Reference
is made to the fact that when this
body met in Texas several years ago,
at Jefferson, the railroad companies
then gave the convention free ride

late immigration Bureau say that
| by that action not less than $2OO,OOO
were added to the State subsequently.
