Editor G. A. Dana, OF the New
York Sun, himselfa profound scholar
does not believe in collegiate edu-
cation as training for newspaper
men. This is the opinion OF nine OUT
of ten of the practical journalists. Mr.
Dana SAYS: ga graduate fresh from
college is pretty sure to be one OF the
most awkward recruits who can be
brought into newspaper Office. In
the first place, he is very immature.
Then, not one graduate in a hundred
has an English education which can
be called at all thorough"

1882, was $4O0,000,O0p, of which
s135,0o0,o0o was gold.

1t seems that cotton picking machine
has at last been invented which is sue
cess. A dispatch from Sumter, s. c.,
says: The cotton picking machine of the
Mason Cotton Harvester Company, in
vented by G. T. Mason, of this place, was
tested to-day in field in the presence of
committees from the New York Cotton
Exchange and Charleston exchanges and
representatives Of the agricultural depart
ment. The machine picked cotton at the
rate of 1870 pounds per hour without injur-
ing the bolls or plants. The general opin-
ion of those present IS that the machine is
correct in its principles, does fairly good
work and can be made completely sue

Will Be REBUILT-R- Kendriek,
resident manager of the Washington
Mill Co, Mr. Davis, late foreman in
the Seabeck mill, and MIR. Harlow,
master mechanic of the Washington
Mill Co, left Seabeck on the steamer
Louise, Thursday evening for Port
Hadlock, for the purpose of TAX
ing charge of the Port Hadlock mill
property near Port Townsend. In
speaking of the purchase of this mill
by the Washington Mill Co., man
well posted in such matters, said
THE Port Hadlock Co. have lost at
least ono dollar per thousand on all
the lumber they have cut, and are
anxious to sell the property, w. j.
Adams can take the mill and make
money with it" Capt. Edwards, of
the barkentine j. NJ Griffith, who is
a confidential friend of Mr.. Adams,
and has sailed in his employ for ff.
teen or twenty years, in speaking OF
the matter last evening said: Il
have just received letter from MIR.
Adams, in which he states that his
object in buying the Port Hadlock
mill is to enable the Washington
Company to cut its own lumber; that
as long as they are compelled to buy
cargoes they stand in the position of
middlemen; that with the Port Had
lock mill, the Seabeek mill can be
built at leisure, and at a saving of at
least $4,000; that the Washington
Co. is in the lumber business to stay,
and company SO situated cannot
own too many saw mills in this i.Iti-
tude" The Captain further stated
that while it was Mr.. Adams inten-
ton to rebuild the Seabeck mill, he
will not be in such great haste to
have it completed, and may not com
mence cutting lumber there again
before the middle of next summer.

In marine circles there is now little
doubt as to the fate OF the captain and
thirty-fve members of the crew Of tie
whaler Amethyst. Trustworthy ac-
connts have been received from every
point OF the American shores. from Port
Clarence to Point Barrow, stating that
no signs Of the crew have been dis
covered there, and similar reports come
from the Asiatic coast, from point be-
low Behring strait far around the Artic
coast The possibility OF the crew hav-
ing reached the continent of Asia is very
small, as the vessel was last seen eff the
American shore far into the ArtIc. These
reports, with the finding OF the Anne
thysts matches on Cooper Island, render
almost certain the conclusion that the
entire crew has perished.
