DANGERS OF JOURNALISM
Trouble In Newport, KY, Before the
War of Rebelli0n-"The True South"
Short Sketch of Cincinnati's Thriving
Suburb Across the Ohio Riyer-Inter-
esting Facts In Its History.

From Cincinnati Commercial Gazette, Sept. 49,
Besides being in its own right the county-seat
of Campbell county, the city of Newport, just
across the river. enjoys the distinction of being
one of the most populous and important Of the
towns suburban to Cincinnati. Almost as old
as Cincinnati itself. with many obstacles to I'M
pede its growth and with apparently the espec-
ial enmisy OF the Ohio river to contend against,
it has gradually increased since it's incorpora-
ton in 17a5-the year in which the first ferry
was established between Newport and Cincin-

dustries. iron foundriss rolling -mils. and the
like. Its local history SO closely interwoven
with that of its great nei2hbor that its contains
comparatively few events of independent import
ance. Some of the old story -tellers about the
corner groceries delight to describe the opening
with great ceremony Of the wire suspension
bridge between Newport and Covington in 1854
and how two weeks later, it fell between
weight of nineteen head of cattle and two men
on horseback. The same authorities will give
with many original embellishments the only au-
thentic account of the destruction of the Office Of
the True South. q local Abolition paper. in 1859.
But in the main its history like its population,
belongs part to itself and part to the great city
near by. For Newport is distinctly suburban,
and pours its thousands every morning into
Cincinnati, to receive them back In the evening
and rest them for another days work.
It would be difficult to estimate the number OF
active men who are occupied in Cincinnati and
live in Newport Among them the writer
wishes to notice Mr.. Charles Wiebe, the sub

A WOMAN IN A CAR.

Chicago Mail.
A lady entered an Indiana-avenue car and
dropped her nickel on the floor. It fell between
the Stats and the bottom of the car, and these
are just far enough apart to receive anything
that falls from the hand, f,nt there is not
enough space to admit of finger to recover
the article dropped. But tlle space looks de-
ceptive Until You have tried 1t you would
think you could drop overshoe into the space.
The lady who had dropped her nickel into the
place had evidently done 80 before. She made
no attempt to recover it until every body in the
car had tried. The frat to make the attempt
was man, of course. TIE first person to do
anything gallant polite in street is al
ways a man. He tried every finger he had and
failed. In resuming his seat he tried to look
funny, but he didn't make anybody think he
was the least bit that way.
Then man who had been dangling by strap
concluded he could dc it. He let go the strap
just as an unusual jostle of the car occurred
and fell into lady's lap. She struck at him
with her muff though he had been humble
