What the Newspaper Does.

Rev.John Rhey Thompson, of New
York, says: The crowning marvel
of our modern civilization is the print
ing press. 1t is impossible to over
estimate its vast power. 1t prop
agates and defuses information. 1t
gives wings to knowledge, 20 that on
a breath of morning it flies every
where to bless end elevate. I stand
in growing wonder in the presence cf
the printing press. 1t lays its hands
upon the telegraph and speedily gath
ers news from all parts of the world,
and acute editors and ubiquitous re-
porters and rapid compositors and fly
ing steam presses commit to paper a
faithful photograph of what's going on
in the world. And yonder stands the
iron horse, with breath of flame and
ribs of steel, ready to 60 to remote por-
tions of the country, dropping packages
of the daily papers on the way. Yes,it
is a mighty engine for good and a
mighty engine, too, for evil. Like all
the blessings of this trial life of ours, it
is not an unmixed blessing.

a Singular Race.

In Sumatra there is a very singular
race, called the Kubus, who arc too shy
to mix with the other races of the
island, and dwell in the recesses of the
forests. They are looked on as interiors
by the Malays, and thought to be little
better than beasts. Such is their shy.
ness that they will never willingly face
a stranger. Their trade with the Ma
layans is consequently carried on in a
strange manner. The trader announc-
es his arrival by beating gong, and
then retires from the place of rendez-
vous. The Kubus approach, put their
forest treasures on the ground, beat a
gong, and retreat. The trader returns
and lays his commodities down inquan-
titles sufficient, as he thinks, for the
purchase of the goods on sale. Then.
he retires, and the Kubus reappear and
consider the bargain. And so, after
more Withdrawals and approaches and
gong beatings, the respective parties
come to an understanding and carry off
independent their bargains. The Ku-
bus i'm theil wild state do not bury their
dead. They live on snakes, ,grubs, fruits.
and the flesh of any deer or pigs they
can slay. They are skillful spearmen,
and throw stones with marvellous ac-
curracy. They know of no state after
death. In some physical respects they
assimilate closely to the anthropoid
apes.

HOLD ALL WHEAT.
@ Commissioned Colman's Advice
to Farmers.
This Years CropBelow tho Average
Amount. OF Injured Grain aaa
The Illinois Yield.

Agricultural Commissioner Coleman
thinks farmers had better hold ON to
their grain, In O bulletin issued from
his bureau the following ADVICE is giy-
en- !: This year is peculiar In having
an unprecedented supply of old wheat
in the hands OF traders the effect liz
naturally an unexampled effort OF hold
ers to advance prices. Now, Ii IL net
the province of an official statistical
service either to advance or depress
prices, but to tell the truth. This de-
partment is expected to look TO The In
terest Of farmers, but experience has
shown that their interest is not adyanc-
ed by Understanding the crop. The
growers are at the wrong end TO profit
by Misrepresentation. Distance, heavy
transportation and many occasions of
delay are circumstances against them;
the telegraph, organization aud capital
favor the buyer. 1t is repeatedly PROV
en- that Misrepresentation of crop pro-
duction insures only to the advantage
of the speculater or wealthy purchaser.
Honesty. then, is the best policy for
farmers in crop reporting. With im-
mense stocks In commercial hands, high
prices will benefit mainly the traders
now; in two or three months withstocks
exhausted and new crop ready for de-.
livery the buyer win magnify European
supplies, exaggerate the outcome of the
American product and offer low prices.
PERTINENT SUGGESTION.
'Here a suggestion is pertinent. The
wheat harvest OF the world In 1856 win
not be an average. Hence prices win
eventually advance. Bnt Ii should be
remembered that it requires q fnll year
to move the wheat crop OF the world.
Heavy harvests following deficiency do
not depress prices materially for many
months after garnering. The culmina-
tion Of the effect is often In the follow
ing year. So the large production OF
last year now fills the granaries OF Eu-
rope and America and prices are low in
the face of the current crop failures.
No great advance win occur Eli The ex-
cess Of stocks shall be consumed.
"Let the farmer, therefore, who l.
not pressed for money, deliver slowly
until commercial stocks are depleted,
watch the markets, and IL he can hold
till late i'm the autumn OF winter, ne
may profit by the scarcity. But he
must not assume the existence OF the
scarcity which is prophesied by the bulls
of the present hour and hold for extra
ordinary prices, refusing reasonable adj
yances, or his ultimate loss OF price JIM
terest and ratage may prove sorer Ca
lamity than the early autumn sales:
This Is true word for the ear OF the
wise farmer"

Remarkable Presence of Mind.

On first night at the Theatre Fran
Gals, Regnier, the comedian, now de-
ceased, displayed remarkable presence
of mind. He was alone on the stage.
and was supposed to be expecting a
friend. HE comes y exclaimed Regni-
er. looking off on the left. Joy ! L
have been awaiting him so impatiently.
At this cue his friend entered-on the
right. Some one had blundered-but
who :? There was no time for hesita-
tion, and the veteran players ready wit
came to his aid. sly dog = he said,
loosely, to the newly arrived +: you
thought to take me by surprise, but [
saw you in the looking-glass yonder.
This brought down the house, though
the audience had been ON the point of
Kissing the very palpable blunder.

In September, 1851, upward OF
$4,000 people were at Lemon Hill
and along the banks of the Schuylkiil
to see M. GODDARD go up in q balloon
along with his brother and drop the
latter out from among the clouds in Q
parachute. It is said that the feat
had never been attempted before in
the history of ballooning it was
startling novelty, and the people
crowded to see it. When the balloon
sailed gracefully upward outside Of
the enclosure M. GODDARD and two
friends were in the basket, while be-
low it MI. e. GODDARD, his brother, was
seated upon small bar of wood at
tached to the parachute. II looked
like an immense umbrella. The ball
oon went over the Schuylkill in q
southwesternly direction, and after it
had reached an altitude of about
5000 feet began to slowly descend.
Then the parachute began to expand.
When within about 5000 feet Of the
earth the cord was cut and the para
chute rapidly descended, with GODDARD
hanging on to the ber. The balloon
shot upward again. The descent of
the parachute was keenIy watched
by thousands Of spectators, and many
expected to see the daring man dash
ed to the earth in the twinkling of an
eye. 1t was observed however, that
as the parachute neared the earth the
descent was slow and easy. At last
the man and his big umbrellas
faded out OF sight over the hills, and
we learned next morning that he came
down all right on his feet, like a cat.

tavern, on the Darby road. .-P PhtIG.

Where Money Reigns Supreme.

In New York, and, suppose in all
large cities, but there especially, money
has been made by the fortune. They
have hundreds of millionaires, and
thousands upon thousands os very rich
men. Speculative opportunities afford
ed by unscrupulous men who to-day
live upon their ill-gotten gains. We
are on the ragged edge OF speculation.
Speculation has put into the pockets of
rascals millions, and has taken from
the pockets of the greedy millions. A
new set have come to the front socially
and financially. They are vulgar, COM
mon, rude, offensive. They boast OF
their wealth they flaunt in the eyes
of the public their new purchase they
give balls aud entertainments to which
gentlemen with whom they are unac-
quainted are invited. They send lists
of guests to the newspapers; they fur
nish, in addition to this, descriptions of
elegant toilets worn by the ladies at
these entertainments, they inform So
ciety reporters of all the details of ex-
penditure they tell how much they
spend for flowers, what the cost OF the
dinner or supper is to be. They pa
rade before the reporters their gold and
silver service, and are particular that
they get it's cost correctly. They ap-
pear upon the streets in the morning
with diamonds in their ears, with cost
ly ornaments upon their necks, and in.
expensive bracelets upon their arms, III
they be women /; with diamond collar
buttons and diamond sets, and heavy
gold chains and solitaire diamond rings
upon their fingers, il they are men.
They are lond in tone, flashy il dress
and boorish in manner. All this, vul-
gar and low-bred as it is, is not bad it
is simply disagreeable, and, doubtless,
as time rolls on, social friction VIII
smooth away the roughness, and when
the fourth generation appears-by
which time, however, the money will
doubtless be spent-manhood and wo-
manhood will have their turn. The
foregoing refers to the home life or
these creatures. In their public and in
their amusement taste I find the baa.
cons and the suggestions TO which I
earlier referred.
