Cape Ann Advertiser.

Cape Ann Advertiser. ~
A letter has been received from the
steward of the schooner II. B. Griffin,
Captain George Nelson, now absent
on the Banks, in which it is stated
that they have met with an unusual
experience, viz, that of being towed
by a whale. The affair occurred on o
fine day when all the dories were out
attending the travis. The captain and
steward were on board as usual, look
ing after the vessel and keeping an
eye on the dories, when all at once
they felt sudden jerk, and soon the
vessel was going through the water
at a rapid rate and no motive power
visible. It takes considerable to
startle a fisherman, but this was
something SO uncommon, a vessel
dashing through the water at a
rapid rate with her sails furled and
anchor down, that they began to.
look alarmed. Suddenly the cause
made itself manifest, when a mons
trous whale arose to thesurface, with
the anchor fast either in his jaw or
blow hole. He tore through the wat
er at a high pressure rate, and was
fast taking the craft out of sight Of
the dories, thus leaving the crews ex-
posed; and besides this, there was
danger of the vessel being towed un-
der. The. only remedy was to cutthe
cable. This was done, and his whale
ship went off with the anchor in tow.
The 1ib and foresail were hoisted, and
the vessel was e engaged picking
up her dories, and on the way to
Newfoundland, where O new anchor
and cable were secured.
There are but two other
similar cases of which we have
any record, which we have
found in the files of our paper,
viz: Schooner G. III. Price was towed
q day and a half by q whale in 1878,
when the fuke of the anchor broke
and she was released. Then, again,
on the 18th of December, 1874, while
the schooner Sultana, Captain Peter
son, was at anchor on the Grand
Bank, asudden motion was felt, and
soon the vessel was speeding through
the water at q twelve knot speed.
The captain, not wishingtol lose sight
of his dorymen, cut the cable after he
had been towed some distance, other
wise he thoughthe mighthayecapturs
ed the monster. There was acompan-
ion whale which swan with the one
who had the anchor, and he was evil
IDENTIFY astonished at the predica-
ment of his mate.

Cost 81 Getting tho News.
From the Boston Herald.

From the Boston Herald.
Eugene M. Camp, who hascollected
the statistics on this point says,
through the American, that the en-
tire cost of oil the news in the papers
in this country is ,65 900 per
year. This is curiously divided. The
special bureaus, which areprincipally
located in New York, with the right
to look over the proofs every night
Of some Of the morning journals, cost
$345, 900. Thisis dividedup among
100 OF the leading provincial papers.
The business of the Associated Press
now amounts to $3.50, 600 yearly,
and that of the United States foots
up to $45O,OOO. These two sums,
with the'special outlay for telegraph
tolls outside of the organizations,
place the total to all the papers Of
$1,S2O,O0O for this department. In
addition to this there are to be reck-
oned the special services of profess
sional correspondents in adjacent
towns and important centers, whose
salaries aggregate 81, 100000 be-
sides. This makes the total cost of
all the service about $2,8SO,OOO per
,annum. Inthe larger cities of the I'm
ion it costs all the way from $500 to
$4,000 a week for the working up of
local districts. Mr. Camp reckons
this yearlyexpense at about SIS, 6OO,-
OO0. This is q correct analysis of
the expense in collecting news and
the proportion in which one branch
of the service is related to the other.
there are three lines on which this
work proceeds-theg ofnews
by the local reporter, the news of the
telegraph and the special corresponds
ent. Each method is closely related
to the other. The statement shows
that there has been q great develop
ment ofjournalism in the matter OF
news. Every effortis made to- get
the news and one combination only
paves the way for another in order
to keep the lead in this department
Of newspaper. The greater the
combination the greater the result,
and the paper that has the new is
the one that the public is most will
ing to pay for.

For some months past | have been using
