This month some of the hens will begin to
moult. Do not sell them, the early moulting
hens are the ones that will be your winter layers,
next to the early pullets. When hens commence to
moult early they get through the process before
winter sets in, but if the moulting is delayed
till cold weather sets in they will not lay until
spring.

President Lincoln was much interested in the
account of perilous balloon ascension by Gen
eral Fitz- John Porter on the 18th of April 1862,
near Yorktown, Va. About o'clock in the
morning he stepped into the car of Professor
Loves balloon to go up and make a reconnois
sance, then to be pulled back to terra
irma He supposed that the usual number
of ropes were attached to 1t, where
as there was only one, and place in
this it was afterward ascertained, had been
burned by vitriol used IN generating the gas.
Taking his seat in the car, unaecompanied by
any one, the rope was let out to nearly its full
length-the length was about 800 yards-when
suddenly snap went the cord and up went the
balloon This was an unexpected part of the
programme Tho men below looked up with

A SOUTHERN OPINION.

The San Diego Unoin declares that the
disastrous effect of the anti-railroad agita-
ton is being realized in full force in north
ern California. 1t adds: "The injury
reaches throughout the State, bearing most
heavily upon the commercial interests of
the great trade centers, and postponing in
definitely the important development that
awaited the completion Of great through
north and south Pacific coast railway. 1t
is perfectly well-known fact to those who
study the money markets of the world and
have access to the financial publications of
New York, London, Hamburg and Frank
fort, that, for the past three years, Califor-
MIA railroad securities have been deemed
hazardous risk, and that it is not possible
to secure loans for new construction We
observe to-day in the great money centers
the same feeling of distrust that prevailed
during the Granger war" in the North
western States few years ago, resulting
then and there, as it does here and now, in
the withdrawal of capital from investment
in new railroad enterprises. 1t seems that
we are to undergo the same sharp expert
ence that has taught some of our sister
States wisdom"
After remarking upon the fact that
southern California needs and demands
more railroads to develop that fine sec
tion, and that a vast area of rich country
remains unsettled and undeveloped for
lack of railroad extensions, which cannot
even be commenced while the capital re-
quired to build the roads is driven away
by the anti-railroad clamor Of pack of
political demagogues, and their mixed fol-
lowing of city ward strikers, small office
seekers and cranks, it adds this prophecy:
"The time will soon come-if it has not
already arrived-when there will be such
positive reaction in public sentiment,
from one end of the State to the other,
that the whole pestilent brood of anti-rail-
road demagogues and cranks will be buried
beyond political resurrection"

mary gain by holding over his victim the
threat of exposure of the truth, the publ
cation of mere suspicion or the printing of
downright falsehood That this is done is
not denied. The business" has, in more
than one section of the country, become a
regular scandal and Matchmaking bureau,
and many a man has paid "hush money,
though innocent of wrong, ms the most
economic and least harmful way of getting
out of the clutches of these harpies, We
have it, from so reliable a journal as the
San Francisco Cal, that this business is
known to have been carried ON, pFesnm-
ably in this State, for il said,
in its issue of the Sd instant !;
"The story goes that the manager of n
certain well-known blackmail journal once
confronted his intended victim with an
article in proof the publication of which
was threatened unless certain large sum
of money was paid within stated time.
The victim of the blackmail protested
against the proceeding, urging as one rea-
son why the article should not be pub
lished that it was not true. If you can
prove it is not true replied the black
mailer, you can make us smart for pub
fishing it. The victim was not treasured
by the argument of his prosecutor. The
most conclusive proof would not efface the
article from the public mind, And then
negatives are hard of proof. In the case
referred to the blackmailer got his money"
Society scandal, matchmaking scandal and
like vicious forms of publishing will con-
tinue just so long as the public fatten the
purses of such publishers, and Just 50 long
as the victims Of the sheets endure it. We
need in this country a few examples
few men like Lonsdale, who will not fear
the lash of vicious press, and will refuse
to buy the silence of blackmailers or ac-
cept their apologies. And this is not
charging that Mr.. Yates is black
mailer. 1t is certain he is nothing of
the kind. His journal in America
would not be deemed especially SEN
sational, nor has it, we believe, been
laid at his door that he has sought to use
his paper as a means for bleeding unhappy
victims. But for all that he was brought
to bar, and by man whom we care to
know nothing more about than that he
was brave enough to endure the publicity.
A few such in the United States would
find a broad field for their courage, and
could do society no end of good.

SOCIETY JOURNALISM.

Lord Coleridge in the recent Yates case in
England, delivered a sermon from the bench
on Society Journalism" so-called, that
might be read and taken with profit in a
land in this direction. Mr.. Yates pub
lished in his paper scandal about Lord
LonSdale; that is, it was 50 worded as to
lead the reader to the conclusion that Ions
dale had eloped with certain lady There
was no truth in it. So soon as Mr.. Yates
discovered that fact he apologized, and
made every effort to undo the wrong and
right the injured parties. This was hon
Orable and at least testified to the absence
of malice in the publication. He pleaded
that he had been deceived by another
party, and had every reason to believe the
information given to be true. But Mr..
Yates was found guilty, and sentenced to
four months Imprisonment and a fine.
When he appeared at the bar Lord Cole
ridge took occasion to lecture on g Society
Journalism He stood strongly for the
freedom Of the press, but was very bitter
upon the license seized upon by some pub
fishers under that grant. In the course of
his remarks he said he could not believe
that anybody found pleasure in feeding
upon the unwholesome dishes the senSa-
tional press sets out. He was certain no
educated gentleman could feel ANYTHING
but humiliation and contempt in having
TO supply such food. The learned Judge
would not need TO reside long in the United
States to become convinced that he is in
error. There is unfortunately large class
OF people who take delight in the filthy
scandals that are dished up by sensational
papers, while there are men of fair cduca-
ton who do not feel any scruples about
making them as vile as literary ability and
devilish ingenuity can devise. Whether
this taste for the scandalous has been
created by vicious press, or whether the
scandalous press is the result OF vicious
taste among the people, We do not need to
now consider, though We hold that the
press is more at fault than the people
Scandal is bad enough in the mouth, but
worse in print, even if the truth is ad-
hered to. The Generalization of virtue
among the newspaper-reading public is
bad enough when it results from the I'M
warranted publication of such privileged
matter as the proceedings in the Hill
Sharon abomination, for instance. But
behind this are greater evils-the exagger-
alton of trivial facts into momentuous
scandals; the devilish molding of an atom
of truth until it appears to be mountain
of reality; and, next, the use of scandal
Gus knowledge for purposes OF blackmail.
But even there the evil does not end In
the absence of the excuse of some truth
the filthy fancy is drawn upon to manu-
facture scandal, and, as natural result
the constituencies news-monger and pur-
Yeyor of indecency uses his art for pecu-

Cured on the 18th ultimo, at which period the
WIND was blowing from the east The boats
would drift until rescued. They must have
been launched, because they were so fixed that
they would not otherwise have iloated. The
fact that the boats We're without gears or oars is
regarded as favorable. indicating that the res
cuing ship secured the oars and gear and al
lowed the boats TO drift away. One is a life
boat, No. /, the other small, new boat not

ion that the State of Florida struck an
iceberg as the Captain of the State of
Pennsylvania reports ice in the region in
which theetate of Florida is supposed to have
been at the time of the disaster. The dynamite
theory is not received with any favor whatever
An inventory shows that the cargo was shipped
