The Clean Newspaper,

There is growing feeling, in healthy
communities, against journals which make
it their special object to minister to a per
verted taste by seeking out and serving mn
in "a seductive form disgusting and licentious
revelations. There is good reason to be-
lieve that the clean newspaper is more
highly priced to-day than il was four or five
years ago. 1t is also safe to predict that, as
people in all ranks of life who protect
their own, at least, from contamination.
become more conscious of the pernicious
influence of certain Class of Journals. called
enterprising because they are ambitious to
serve up dirty scandals, they will be careful
to see that the journals that they permit to
be read in the family circle are the class
that never forget the proprieties of life.
Already men and women of refinement and
healthy morals have had their attention
called to the pernicious influence of bad
literature, and have made commendable
efforts to counteract the same by causing
sound literature to be published and sod at
popular prices. These efforts are working
silent but sure revolution. The best au-
thors are more generally read to-day than
at any previous date. The sickly, senti-
mental story paper. and the wild ranger
and pirate story books, are slowly but sure
ly yielding the field TO worthier claimants.
To the praise of the decent newspaper, it
may be said that where it has a place in
the family, and has been read for years by
young as well as oil q, it has developed such
healthy tone and such discriminating
taste, that the life-nature of the slums has
no admirers. Fortunately, the number of
families is increasing in the land, and as
they increase the journal that devotes itself
to sickening revelations of immortality will
be compelled to find its supporters solely
eclong those classes who practice vice and
crime, or are ambitious to learn to follow
such ways.-I Printers Circular.

THE OLD MAN DREAMS

for an hour of youthful joy
Give back my twentieth spring
I'd rather laugh a bright-haired boy
Then reign graybeard king.
Off with the spoils of wrinkled age
Away with learning's crown
Tear out life's wisdom written page
And dash its trophies down.
One moment let my life blood stream
From boyhood's fount of fame;
Give me one giddy, Keeling dream
of life, all love and fame.
My listening angel heard the prayer,
And calmly smiling said,
" If | but touch thy silvered hair
Thy hasty wish has sped
" But is there nothing in thy track
To bid thee tondly stay,
While the swift seasons hurry back
10 lind the wished-for day.
All. truest soul of womanhoodi
Without thee what were life?
One bliss cannot leave behind:
III take--my-precious- ~
The angel took sapphire pen
And wrote in rainbow dew:
The man tcoUid be boz again.
Al'd be a husband, too
And is there nothing yet unsaid
Before the change appears?
Remember all their gifts have fed
With those dissolving years"
Why, yes" for memory would recall
My fond parental joys;
- | could not bear to leave them all
I'll take my girl and boys"
The smiling angel dropped his pen.
Why, this will never do;
The man would be a boy again
And be father, too"
And so | laughed, my laughter woke
The household with its noise,
And wrote my dream when morning broke
To please the gray-haired boys.
-lOliyer Wendell Holmes

CHIEF OBSTACLES IL TRADE.

Our chief obstacle in reaching con-
sumers is now the custom adopted by retail
ers, especially hotels and restaurants, of de-
handing an exorbitant rate of profit on
wines. The chief work of our friends will
be in making known TO consumers how
much they are being swindled and in ex-
citing a rebellious feeling on this score.
Let the public generally know the fair
retail price of ordinary good wine by the
gallon, that all restaurants and hotels can
easily supply themselves ct such fair prices
and do their own bottling at small cost,
and then remember that there are ten
| ordinary so-callei pint Tor five-quart)
bottles to the gallon, and The fiction of
high prices viii be exploded. In Caiifor-
nia everywhere, and in most large cities OF
the East, good California wine-a pint
bottle to the plate-can be served at
| the price of tea or coffee, and
when no extra charge is made for the latter
there should be none for the wine The
wine drinker should claim the same rights

 WASHINGTON. Jan. 14.-Secretary Lamar to-day sent to Acting Attorney General Goode his views and conclusions in the tele- allow legal proceedings to be instituted in the courts in the name of the government to annul the Bell patent. The Secretary takes strong ground in,,favor of thorough judicial investigation of the validity of the Bell pat ent. Secretary Lamar closed his communi- cation as follows:
 'It is manifest that decision upon the controversy as to the merits of the patent is not embraced within the terms of your re- quest The issue before me lies outside of the ultimate merits of the case a subject of judicial Investigation As to what the final judgments should be, I have not felt called upon to form opinion, and if had formed one, I would not express an opinion. The question is whether enough has been shown about the hearing to refer the submission of the matter to the court at the instance of the govern ment. The proof adduced in support and defense is very voluminous and very con fictingl many respects. It involves great scientif> research and detail and perhaps some intricate legal questions. The allega- tion and the evidence touching the circumstances attending the is- sue of the patent are of such nature and have such a support as to render it, in my opinion, inadvisable to ignore or dismiss them. Such a case is presented as ought, I think, to undergo a thorough judi cial investigation. It appears that many suits have been pending and many are now pending before the corporation claiming this patent and others that assail it. In none of these cases has there been, or can there be as I think, such thorough investi- gation and full adjudication to the alleged frauds or mistakes occurring in the patent office in the issuance of the patent as could be had in a proceeding instituted and carried on by the government itself. In a case involving such questions it seems to me especially imperative upon the government as duty to it's own officers to vindicate or condemn, and a duty to the people, to set on foot and follow up a complete investigation. In my opinion the proceeding should be in the name of and wholly by the government, not on the relation or for the benefit of all or any of the petitioners, but in the interest of the government and the people and wholly at the expense and under the conduct and control of the government. think it should be. instituted at such point and insuch court will best subserve the purpose of public convenience and full inquiry. Such proceeding, so conducted, will, as I think, comport with the dignity of the government and the gravity of the subject and will insure final and just adjudication of the merits of the contro- versy."

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 14. - Stephen Me Pherson, colored, large and powerful man, was placed on trial before Judge Thayer this afternoon charged with assault and bat tery with intent to kill Robert J. Cook, busi- ness manager of the Press. On November 24th last McPherson pleaded guilty to sim pie assault and battery, but on December 21st withdrew that plea and pleaded gene rally not guilty. Mr. Cook was examined and detailed the facts of the assault. The defendant then told an incredible story when Judge Thayer told the jury that if Me Pherson's story were true there not the slightest justification for the act.
