TIE FUTURE OF rHB NEWS REPORT.

Statements recently made that the news
gathering organizations formerly existing
on this coast have been disbanded, and
that all the journals have been merged into
single organization, or have been sub.
ordinated to Eastern news organizations,
and to the further general effect that an
era Of monotonous stereotyping in news
reports is about to be ushered in, is wholly
erroneous In fact, and would not have been
put forth by anyone possessing an adequate
idea Of the significance of the changes
about TO be made. It is true that change
has been effected somewhat in the direc-
tion of distributing stereotyped report of
the markets, financial quotations, public
documents, the journals of proceedings of
public bodies, and generally the common
place daily news. But this adjustment has
been brought about In the interest of CIV
ing place to larger volume of distinctive
news, for the collection of which the old
news organization still exists. A report
hereafter to be termed the common re-
port, is to be edited, condensed. and col.
lected at Chicago from the news of the
Western Associated Press and furnished in
manifold to the papers heretofore taking
news as customers or clients of the indie.
pendent news associations of this coast.
This news is the same as heretofore pre-
scented in the condensed reports furnished
by what are termed outside papers, and
covers the news matter heretofore neces-
sarily stereotyped. In the collection of
news covering the field west of the Rocky
mountains, and for the collection and
transmission of all that news matter which
has constituted all that is distinctive in
the news reports, no change has taken
place. It should be understood that in the
past only three-tenths OF the volume of
news reports transmitted to this coast has
been based upon the Associated Press news.
Ssven-tenths of these reports were col.
lscted Independently of the Eastern news
associations, notwithstanding full access
to the entire volume of news reports
brought to New York and Chicago by the
New York and Western Associations. The
common report hereafter to be delivered
in manifold, and necessarily stereotyped in
publication, is 10 be based wholly upon the
Associated Press news received at Chicago.
1t is TO represent these elements of daily
occurrence which are common, accessible
to all, aud which do not furnish field for
associated or individual enterprise, The

A SPECIMEN.

The Examiner says: To say that the
Government Printing Office is sink of
corruption and fraud, is to assert its nor.
NAL condition. 1t has been that ever since
the Republicans came into power twenty.
three years ago." 1t would scarcely be
worth while to ask the Examiner for proofs
of this assertion. 1t has none and it would
not trouble itself about them if it had. 1t
is simply a political vilifer, and in that
role it can ply it's dirty vocation quite as
well without proofs as with them.

THE Argonaatt well says: "The spirit which
fears rivalry from whatever source it may come, is
cowardy. The railroad system, far it has been
developed, has accomplished miracles for our State
and city. II allowed to extend it will accomplish
other miracles When this narrow and illiberal po-
litica opposition is crushed out and the small DEM
agogues who plant themselves in the path Of pro-
gress and development shall have been brushed
aside by a more generous and liberal public senti-
ment whenit shall become the policy OF our people
to encourage enterprise and allow capital to exploit
itself in building railroads, and allow those who
build them to control them without the interference
Of small politicians-Ca California will have entered
upon its business Millennium"

Are rung by the reapers, whose rhymes
Are written in windrows OF grass,
BY musical sickles that pass.

WONDERFUL WORK OF A HEN.
Aided, Allotted, and Assisted by II Bad
Boy In the Post-Oncc.

According to Syracuse paper, Mrs
Whitnal, the estiluable wife of harness
maker of Erievillo, Madison county,
n. y, heard her favorite hen cackling
III the barn III strange and unprece.
dcntcd manner. Upon reaching the
nest she found an egg of ordinary size,
but cmblazoncd with raised characters,
which nearly caused her to faint. Stag
gcring from the barn into the house, she
displayed the hens miraculous product
to her sors and daughters, some of whom
rushed out and spread the alarm among
the pOpnlacc.
All further work on that day WAS sus-
pended. Men working in the field put
up their horses and tools in the barns,
after which they gazed anxionsly ut the
Whitnal residence. The excitcm ent was
intensified when the report was con-
tlrmed that samuel Curtis, an honored
shoemaker and n brother of Mrs. Whit
nal, had become so umerved ut tho sight
OF the egg that he had taken to his
bed III alarm, and refused to be COM
fOrtcd.
The most skeptical were convinced of
the sacred eggs genuincncss when it was
taken to the hotel and exhibited by two
OF MIR. Whitnnls sons. The characters
Woro simply raised upon the shell, as if
they had been made upon the inside and
pufcd out by some interior agency. On
one sido stood out boldly the figures
"lSS4." On another side was q cross,
and on q third side was strange SYM
bnl, which some thought was letter
&C, whi.o others held that it was q half
moon. The latter theory was more
generally accepted, since, when tho egg
was held to the light, something which
rcscmbled a face was discerniblo in the
concaVity of tho character. This was
inferred to represent the man III the
moon.
On that night the morals and manners
of the village of Erinvllle were excellent
beyond parallel. New resolutions were
formed and bad habits sworn off. Hus-
bands and wives no longer exchanged
doubtful compliments and hatirons, but
tenderly embraced each other and agreed
to await tho coming Of tho Lord in
Commondablo manner. Mra. Whitnals
household was too excited to sleep.
Her daughter Sarah was quite Ill,
and it was feared that the sacred egg
would tend greatly to shorten her iIfc.
Alarmed at this, FrnnkRichardson, clerk
in the post-oflicc, acknowledged that
the miracle had been performed through
his instrumcntality.
He explained that to get even with
one of Mr.. Whitna's sons he traced
tho characters on the egg with tai
low and then placed it in vinegar
After the acid bad sufficiently eaton thc

tallow to become prominent. he visited
the Whitnal barn, deposited tho egg in
nest, scared an innocent hen and dc
campcd.
Mr.. Richardson's expose has had the
unfortunate effect of dispclling the moral
influence cxertcd by tho egg. Tie
villagers have returned to their former
ways.
