Cheap and Nasty Journalism.

We do not recall any more striking
or lamentable phenomenon in journal
ism than the change which has come
over the New York morning papers
since they reduced their price and en-
tered upon their present strenuous COM
petition. The change was as sudden
as it was remarkable, and it would al
most seem as if the managers of these
papers supposed that they could create
a new constituency by going into the
cutters and the slums after it. 1t is
possible that they may do so, but it
would have been well for them to re-
member, simply as matter of business
policy, that they were entering upon
an uneven competition with papers
which were in the cutters and slums
before them, and that it was possible to
lose their old constituency while seek.
ing for q new one. At present there is
a mad race among them for the latest
piece of scandal and sensationalism.
Matters which they would once have
published briefly and obscurely now APP
pear on their first page, tricked out
with taking headings and written with
toothsome embellishments. Not con-
tent with making the most of such
crimes and scandals as might turn mp
in the natural course of things, they
rake the whole country as with q fine
tooth comb, revive old stories, and even
bite greedily at scandals which are en-
tirely fictitious and are invented to hit

Iii Hung Chang, the great Chinese

deeds of true philanthropy and charity.
The classes in carpentering which
were recently established in a Cleye-
land public school have proved not to
interfere with the regular studies, and
the boys have not only developed taste
for hard work, but by their standing
show that training the hands is an
actual help in other school work.

4 LEAPYEAR MISSIVE.

"a woman's lot is rather hard,
Since she by custom is debarred
From making such advances
As will her happiness secure
Through life, and render her secure
From conjugal mischanceS."
Thus said a maid, who sat apart
And held communion with her heart
That thrilled and thrObbed with passion.
"Now turn about is but fair play;
And beauX and bellies should have their day
Not in one-sided fashion.
"For must stay at home each eve,
And with serenity receive,
Alas! Tom, Dick and Harry,
When there's but few of all the crew
! really like, and not one who
I'd ever wish to marry!
"While there is Jack, who stands apart
From ali the rest who seek my heart,
A timid, bashfu fellow.
Who ne'er hasspOken unto me
One tender word; yet can see
He's jealous as Othello!
otis Leap-Year! Woman has a chance
Her hearts best interests to advance,
BY making legal tender.
Her honest love she can display
Nor let it eat her heart away.
Saint Valentine befriend her!
But customs bonds are hard to break.
Though woman's heart desires TO take
Advantage of the season;
And so the maiden felt alaCk!
To freely speak her mind TO Jack
Would be Il bit of treason.
''This sweet red rose she said, "Ill send,
A token rs from friend to friend,
Yet with Loves message laden;
And should he read the mystic sign
Blame him, or else Saint Valentine,
And censure not the maiden"
Jack came ere yet the day was sped,
Confessed his love. and they were wed,
Thanks to the Leap-Year caper.
Said She: Dear Jack, how did you guess?'
Said he: "'IWas easy; your address
Was stamped upon the papcr!"
