A VALUABLE WORK.

We have received Hubbard's News paper and Bank Directory of the World. Noi. ,. I: comprehends all tha, is con, tained in other newspaper directories ana great deal of valuable information tc editor. publisher and advertiser tha, is not found in any similar work.

 The concluding section of this volume is unique and characteristic. 1, contains list oi the " Leading Newspapers of all kinds, in all countries on the Earth. printed on paper manufactured in New Haven expressly for the purpose. ou, of old newspapers from every country iu the world. This curious cosmopoli- tan" compound represents newspapers from every land beneath the sun where newspapers are printed, and is in three celors, white, gray and pink. All of these old newspapers came from my files and which no other agency in the world can duplicate.
 In addition to the foregoing prominen; features, this volume presents valuable in- formation to editors, publishers. adver- tisers and others. An article upon the '" Law and Libel defines the meaning of libel, and treats upon its character legal aspects, &e., and gives numerous decisions of the courts relating to it. " The Duties of Editors to the Public an open Letter." contains suggestions worthy of serious consideration. "Three Points in Newspaper Advertising" by Victor F. Lawson, of Chicago, and "Ad- vertising as Science and Success" by Frederick L. May, of London, Eng, are capital revelations of the true inwardness of the science of advertising.

A journalistic Tenderf0Ot.

Most every one who has tried the
publication of a newspaper will call to
mind rs he reads this item this morn
ing 3 similar experience, perhaps.

prOtuberant.
Early one summer morning n gavky
veung tenderfOOt, both as to the West
and the details of journalism, came into
the Office and asked me for job IS a
correspondent to write up tie mines in
North Park. He wore his ha;r longish
and tried to make il curl. The result
was q greasy coat-collar and the gen.
eral ront ensemble OF the genius smart

in the extravagant clothes of the dime
novel scout and beautiful girl rescuer
Of the Indian country. He had been
driven West by Wild desire to hunt the
fragrant Sioux warrior and do general
Wild Bill business, hoping NO doubt
before the season closed to rescne enough
beautiful captive maidens to get up a
young Vassar College in Wyoming or
Montana.

their lives in bitter experience, unless

A Man Of Details.

cooked his feet on the office desk and let

directors finally got together and decided
that the right man must be found pretty
soon or the road must go to the wall.
They were consulting in room looking
out into the passenger depot. A train
came in eighteen minutes behind time,
and the train-dispatcher booted the

backed the train out, and was coming
back from the yards, when the directors
met him and one of them asked:
mr.. Thomas, can you accept the
Presidency of this road?''
.'Wait minute" was the reply: and
the man shunted three cars, cuffed .
switchman. drove two loafers out of the
yard. and returned and said:
"Why, yes, | suppose so; and the
first thing shall do is to fire you all ouI

a Midnight Adventure i'm q New England
Graveyard.
A very curious, sleepy old village is
rest OF the world, it still sits between
the green hills of an Eastern State, with
its elbows on its knees and its chin
in its hands, musing on by-gone days,
when old King George held the
land under his sway, and when, as its
old folk sagely remark. things were not
as they are now. There are a great
many old people in Adlingtune-in fact
very few die Young there. The :tmos-
phere is so dreamy and peaceful that
excitement cannot exist, and the wear
and tear of the busy world is unknown,
or at most only huns family over the
hills, like the buzzing of a fly on sunny
pane on 4 summer day. And so they
still sit in their chimney-corners from
year to year. and muse. and dose, and
dream. until they dream their lives away
and take their final sleep. 1t was to an
old crone of this description that was
indebted for my adventure.
In the course of my idle ramblings
about the village l CHANGED one day to
peer over crumbliug wall and discov-
cred an old. disused burial ground.
