.' PAYING BY THE MILE.
a Magazine Editors Novel Bargain witt
q Young Contributor.

young contributor. ash
"How much do you pay for such q
storyP" asked a young writer of a we'll
known magazine editor in New York,
the other day.
''Letme see your manuscript"
The young man produced his roll and
submitted it to the editor. .us1
you write rather fine hand, and
therefore will give you twenty-five
dollars for every quarter of mile of
writing that accept astI..r.
twenty-five dollars for quarter Of
of a mileP" repeated the would-be con-
tributor, aghast with surprise.
Eyes, and that is very good rate for
an unknown writer like yourself. We
pay all the way from 800 to 81. 900 a
mile for the work of the most noted
writer's, and have paid famous poet
at the rate of $40, 900 mile for great
poem which he wrote at my order.
That is an exceptionally high price,
though"
! How much would mile make of my
manuscript"
II should say about ten thousand
words" -.ti
"You don't mean to say that ten
thousand Of my words II strung in a
row would make a mileP" -e.
'Most assuredly not. But in writing
ten thousand words your pen moves
over a mile Of space. With some
writer's a mile is only composed of eight
thousand words, and there are some
microscopic wakers who crowd twenty
thousand words into o mile. Those
figures will give you an idea of the
amount of territory the pen of busy
writer will cover in q year. Take a
newspaper reporter. who writes on an
average ten thousand words week.
His pen will travel fifty-two miles a
year. A court stenographer, who
frequently takes down forty thousand
to sixty thousand words in day, and
transcribes part of his notes at night,
| will cover not less than four hundred
miles a year. Take Alexander Dumas,
the elder, who was one of the most
prolific writersin the world. If he had
done all of his own writing, he would
have averaged FIVE miles day during
his whole busy career. He often en-
ployed secretaries, however, though he
did large part of his work himself.
You see it would take long time for a
man to draw line around the world
with his pen. 1t could be done, though"

A New Marriage Scheme.

AT ia recent wedding reception in
South Carolina, a young lawyer beg
ged leave to offer a new scheme of
matrimony, which he believed to be
beneficial. He proposed that one
gentleman in the company should be
selected as president; that this presi-
dent should be duly sworn to keep
secret all communications that should
be forwarded to him in his official de-
partment that night, and that each
unmarried gentleman and lady
should write his or her name ON a
piece of paper and under it the name
of the person they wished to marry,
then hand it to the president for in.
spection, and if any lady and gentle
man had reciproeally chosen each
other the president was to inform
each Of the result, and those who had
not been reciprocal in their choice
kept entlrely secret. After the APP
pointment of the president, commu-
nicahons were accordingly handed
up to the chair, and it was found that
twelve young ladies and gentlemen
had made reciprocal choices, but
whom they had chosen remained a
secret to all but themselves and the
president. A person passing through
the same place few days ago,
was informed that eleven out of
twelve matches had been solomnized,
and that the young gentlemen of
eight couples of the eleven
had declared that their diff
dence was so great they certainly
should not have addressed their re-
spective wives if the above scheme
had not been introduced. II Alta

Getting the Goose Egg.

In middle Tennessee and kentucky
when drummer goes to a town and
fails to sell any goods they call it
'getting the white-wash.' But in
Arkansas the same kind of luck is
known as "getting the goose egg.n
A pretty good joke is told In this con-
nection on a young man from st.
Louis. He struck Arkansas during
a dull season, and Travelled two weeks
without taking an order. Atthe end
of the second week he enclosed his
expense account to his house and
wrote as follows; I'LL 3l64iI
Messrs. Glue, Cose & Co., st. Louis,
Mo. Dear Sir !: Enclosed I hand you
expense account of $S4, covering two
weeks work. / have made twelve
towns since left st. Louis, but have
got the goose egg in every place.
Hope you will find expense satisfac-
tory. Yours truly,
At the next town he made he found
at the hotel a little buff-colored en-
velope addressed to him. He ner-
vously broke the seal and eagerly de-
vOured the contents. Twas not a
long communication and was not at
all sentimental, but had a kind of

about it. 1t read: AZ

Rocking-Chairs.

What is there the average Ameri-
can woman in search of bodily COM
fort or rest likes better than the rock
ing-chair? No home so humble but
has this article of furniture, and if
temporarily occupied by a male visit
or or member of the family, it is a
matter ofcourse instantly surround
ed on the entrance of the wife, mother,
daughter, sister or sweetheart. Rock
ing-chairs must have been an Ameri-
can invention, for in the hundreds of
hotels and houses / have visited in
Europe, l have not seen a dozen all
told. / scarcely think l would have
noticed this, as men in America are
regarded as having no rights so far as
rocking-chairs are concerned, but for
the fact that every woman meet is
lamenting and complaining about it.
In the holel at Milan where / stopped
there were two rocking-chairs, and
there was a perpetual squabble as to
who should be in them.

Some years ago, when all the world
went mad upon lotteries, the cook of
a middle-aged gentleman drew from
his hands the savings of some years.
Her master, curious to know the
cause, learned that she had repeated
ly dreamed that certain number
was a great prize, and she bought it.
He called her fool and never omit
ted an occasion to tease her on the
subject.
One day, however, the master heard
that the number wasactually a $4,000
pounds prize. The cook was called
up; a palaver ensued--had known
each other for many years-was 10th
to part, etc. In short, he proposed,
and was accepted, but insisted on
marriage being celebrated next
morning. Married they were; and,
as the carriage took them from
church, they enjoyed the following
dialogue =
"Well, Mollie, two happy events
in one day. You have married, l
trust, a good husband. You have
something else; but, frst, let me ask
you where you have locked up your
lottery ticket@
Mollie, who thought her husband
was only bantering her again on the
old point, cried = y p 1g.eoet

JUDGE ALBION W. ToUBeEE, one of the most distinguished LIterstures of the present age, writing from New York 10 the Inter-Ocean sptly says that the most remarkable thing in this campaign is the growth of the Republican osndi- date. No American can fail to feel 6 pride in the qualities he has displayed. His conduct, manner, words. have been simply perfect. He has done only what it was fitting that he should do; said only whs. he ought to have said; and in both words and acts shown that ready sympathy with all phases of our American life which most deeply sp- pesls to the respect of the American peo pie, He has sad more and said it bet ter-trested more subjects and touched each one with more comprehensiveness tact and precision. with more elegance of metaphor and aptness of illustration than any candidate of any party within the memory of any living man. It mat ters not what may be the result of the struggle; when It is over Benjamin liar
 rison will be the foremost living Ameri- can. From the ranks Ot the average citizen he has sprung in three months 10 station singulsrly exalted. His course glves assurance that if elected he alone will be President, snd if defeated
 he will stand in the esteem of the most iDtslligent moiety of our people one of the Attest ever named for that position.
