The Press as a Moral Power.


George William Curtis in June Harper's.
Ii is, OF course, true that as the
press. in the sense OF an aggregation
OF newspapers. is peculiarly bust
ness enterprise undertaken primarily
for PERSONAL advantage, and in no
other sense for public enterprises, it
Is largely controlled by business con-
siderations. Whatever threatens it's
protiti. must be avoided, if possible.
But, Unlike Other business, it is in
volvetl with the public expression OF
opinion, and it is generally as diff
cult ioir u newspaper to change its
proleSsed opinions and retain the
sapbcrt OF It's buyers as for clergy.
man TO change his theological views
and retain the favor of his congrega-
ton. The popular Prd prosperous
newspaper, again, Is undoubtedly q
fair index OF the public taste. More
than anything else it is the mirror
held up to nature When we look into
it and see elaborate descriptions of
shameful events, and the ridiculous
fact that Mrs. Smith dined yesterday
eorseously arrayed. and that all the
Browns. Joneses and Rohinsons, in
their best clothes, dined with her, and
then see endless columns of accounts
of q prize fight, we may be aware that
we are seeing what interests us most,
and it Is to supply the demand OF our
tastes that news papers are published.
But neither Aris tides nor any other
friend Of humanity need respond. II
he Will lock into the newspaper 20
years ago and see the picture OF Tweed
LARGELY mnz2ling the press, but whom
the press at last overthrow, and then
consider Jacob Sharp OF yesterday,
who, but for the press, would have
been allowed the placid enjoyment OF
his booty. lie will agree that it has
been.s some benefit, however mixed its
motives and disagreeable It's method.
The court, says Aristides. was eompe-
tent to do its duty. or, if not the fault
was with the people. However that
may be. the press made it easier for
the ,sonrt to do its duty, and helped,
not hindered, the course OF justice.

lie was one o: those gifted children oil
genius who from lis earliest years it
was nearly impossible to instruct in
the regular manner. Precocious and
vivaeiousF Theodore made the lives oil
his tutorsveiy likely to put it mildly.
Therefore his education was rather
inadequate and came to dead pause
at Harrow.
During this time his father was
musical director oil Nauxhall Gardens
the fashionable Iouneing resort of the
day. Young Hook began composing
songs and music for tn, gardens with
amazing rapidity. At 16 years OF age
the lad wrote Il drama, entitled 'The
Soldiers Return. which was very sue.
eessful. From this on he turned out
farces, yiiudville and songs with be-
wlldering confusion. Other boys were
at school. hard at work over their
lessons, when young Hook was the
talk OF the tom, the wit OF the green
room and the boon companion oil
actors, literary men and women and
painters. He became great punster,
his say D,gs were quoted far and wide
he perpetrated audacious practical
Jokes and became the first society
iappovisator OF the time He used
to get from $50 to $50 an evening Tor
his drawing room entertainments.
The money was paid very quietly,
each one OF his hosts being supposed
to have him as guest alone. IL was
an Immense favor to get Hook 10
present himself at an evening party,
and his books were crowded with en-.
gagements throughout the London
season, He was, in short, the George
Grossn,ith of his day. He became
great chum OF the prince regent who
sent him in 1Sl2,to Nautilus as &C,
countant general and treasurer, at a
salary OF over Sic, 600 per year.

KISSES FOR SKULLS.
A Strange Religious Ceremony in tn
Tuscan Highlands.

Tuscan Highlands.
in the Tus can Highlands at the village
of Cutpliano, writes correspondent
from Italy, they keep high feast on the
Sth of August in memory of Saint
Aurelius and Saint Iren@us, whose bones
lie in state in the town church. The
sacred remains exhibited on the holiday
are preserved in richly gilt shrines with
glass fronts and sides. The skulls are
bare in all their grinning hideousness;
the rest of the skeletons are happily hid
In rich costumes, the hands covered with
silk gloves and the feet with elegant
stockings.
After mass is over in the church and
the people have been blessed a priest
standing at the altar holds up reliquary
containing the bone of saint for the
alteration of the crowd. One by one the
men come up to the altar steps, devoutly
kiss the glass that covers the precious
bone, and drop a copper or two into the
brass tray which is carried by an at.
| tendant. After each OSCILLATION the glass
Is carefully wiped with napkin and
then presented to the next in order.
| The women come after the men. The
faith of these is apparently more lively.
T hey seem fully satisfied that by the art
! of alteration they have committed them
selves to the effectual safeguard of the
| saint, and they turn away their faces
adiant with peace and contentment.
Here comes a family group, mother
| leading a little girl by the hand with
| baby on her arm. 1t is touching to see
| the earnestness with which the mother
presses the pouting lips of her infant
against the sacred charm and the joy
| with which she broods over him when she
has thus secured his salvation; behind
comes an old woman, wrinkled, infrm,
alone in the world, but the weight of her
years and trouble seems to grow light
when she has secured the good will and
lntercession of the saint.
| So they come in long succession Of
every age and condition, but all beiev.
| ing and devout. Long after the service
Is over the worsl1pers remain absorbed in
prayer, kneeling in different parts Of the
church, utterly lost to all that passes
around.
i After leaving the church the Tuscans
repair to the village green, where a lot
| terry is in progress, and every one, from
the gray head to the toddling infant, in.
vests in ticket. They are very supersti.
tious about significant plumbers. One man
chooses eight because his cat at home has
that number of kittens, another twenty.
nine, because his son fell and broke his
leg on that day Of the month; still an
other fifteen, because there are that NUM-
Der of letters in the saints name whom
they celebrate. -.-.,s.
Every one is in good humor while the
drawing takes place, and even If their
numbers are unsuccessful they leave with
! the conviction that it will surely come up
| on the next feast day.

WAYS OF Photographers.

II photographer sued in London court
for payment for pictures of Mrs. Pearson,
supplied at her order. Two photogra.
piers testified that the pictures were good
likenesses, although the negatives had
been 'touched up" to make the woman
look as good as possible, that being the
custom of all photographers, it was said.
Mrs. Pearson testified that she did not
want to be "flattered and tittivated up"
and had given no orders for any such pro-
ceeding. In trying to make her LOOK
younger, the photographer had DESTROYED
the likeness entirely. Her hair, also, had
been made wavy, whereas 1T was really
straight. The judge said that the photo
graph made the defendant look younger
than she was, but as she had not given
specific orders to have the picture made
"just as she VAS" and as the custom was
to have the photographs touched up, she
must take the pictures and pay the bill

Does the Earth Really Move?

Science says that it does, but we can not
help wondering sometimes if there isn't
some mistake about it, when we see how
stubbornly certain old fogies cling to their
musty and Anticipated ideas. 1t was be-
heved once that consumption was incurable,
and although it has been clearly demon
strated that it is not, thousands of old time
physicians close their eyes and put their
hands to their ears and refuse to abandon
the theory. But for all that the world
moves on, and DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery continues to rescue sufferers
from consumptives' graves. 1t is sure
cure for this dreaded disease, if taken in
time. All scrofulous diseases and con-
sumption is included in the list-yield to it.

It is not modesty alone which pre- vents candidates for office in this county from coming to the front, but the fact that there is no official position, except Sheriff and Treasurer worth having. The emoluments of the Sheriff's office are decidedly precarious, for the fees are small and business limited. and besides our statutes provide that nearly all the duties appertaining to that office can be discharged by constables, and the result will be, that if some incompetent, igno- rant and disagreeable creature should be elected, which is by no means prob able, he will find combination of law yers and others to contend with, which will go far to render the office sine cure An executive officer should be a gentleman, and have sense enough to treat men civilly with whom he has business.
