ONE CENT PAPERS OF PARIS.
System of Newspaper Distribution ID the French Capital-The Mosques

System of Newspaper Distr1Dution 1n
 the French Capital-The kiosques'
 The publishers of one cent papers have naturally wished the intermediates and news agents to bear their share in the'in- creased expenses due to the auGnlenta- ton of the size. The small four column one cent paper used to be sold at sixty eight cents Q hundreds; the five column enlarged one cent paper IS sold at seventy four cents a hundred. This new tariff has provoked much discomfort among the intermediates, who demand dlm- mutton instead of an increase of the wholesale price.
 The manufacture and sale of reading matter being a subject which interests more or less everybody who can read, may perhaps be allowed to enter into some detail on the system of newspaper distribution in Paris. Some Of the papers have sale department and carriers of their own; but the majority deal with intermediates, who have special squads of carriers for each journal and for each district. These carriers distribute. the journals in the lliosques and in the shops of the news vendors, settling accounts each day and taking back the unsold numbers. Another special category of newspaper sellers are the ''camelots, ' CT hawkers, who cry papers in the street. There are some 800 sellers of this kind, who howl sensational news, and who buy later editions of second class papers, which, for the sake of advertising, are sold to them at from twenty to thirty cents hundred out and out, no account being taken of unsold copies.
 Besides the ''camelots'' there are nearly 4,00O persons who sell newspapers in Paris, mostly booksellers, stationers, sellers of fried potatoes or of roasted chestnuts, and milk dealers, who com bine news vending with their other busi- | ness. Out of this number there are 347 vendors who occupy kiosques on the boule- wards and 100 who occupy wooden booths placed on the sidewalk. These booths pay ground rent of six francs yea1 to | the municipality, and rent of six francs | a month to the contractor who owns the material. The kiosques, built originally by a private company, have now 1ccome the property of the municipality of Paris, which has leased them for seven years to dH dUNGIltSJIlS tt1l rental of $18,250. This contractor makes his profit by selling the advertising space, | and he is allowed to exact, from the news vendors who occupy the kiosques. a rental of from S1 to S5 month, accord ing to the situation. For instance, the hosques opposite the Grand hotel, where you can buy American, Russian, Italian, | Hungarian, German and other foreign papers, are all let at $5 month. The tenants of the Mosques are appointed in turn by the prefecture of the department of the Seine and by the prefecture of police; for, like the tobacco shops, the newspaper kosques are reserved, in lieu of pensions, for the widows of public employees or of soldiers. The privilege of kiosque is very much coveted, and there are always 5000 or COCO demands inscribed. The average number of vacan- cies is twenty-five year.-Paris Cor. New York Sun.

The Sublime Porte."

The building of the porte, called sub lime, is, or was, kind of long, low barracks, without style and without beauty. A fire destroyed part of it some years ago.
 The phrase "sublime porte' is applied to both the building and the administra- ton, two things that are important, but neither the one nor the other is sublime. This word has, however, a very ancient origin. When the Turks, long before the conquest, were only hordes of Tar tars and nomads, their chiefs or srlltans were in the habit of dispensing justice at the door of their tent. There the cadis assembled and heard the complaint and then the defense. The sultan appeared upon the spot only at the concluson of the trial to get the opinions of the judges and to render his decision. To go to the porte was for the Turks the equivalent of seeking justice at the hands of the sultan and his counselors.
 As to the pompous epithet ''slblime" coupled with this poor porte, it is one of those Oriental speeches that the fiattery of the weak has bestowed voluntarily upon the tyranny of the strong. The Turkish language abounds in these quail ficatives-highness, excellence, divine, celestial, subline-which in our day and in the west offend the dignity of those that receive them and of those that bestow them, but which one in the east can freely bestow upon high personages without laughing or making them laugh.

The Silver City N. M., Enterprise favors high license. It says: One et the first efforts of the next Legislature should be the passage of a high license law, putting the license for a retail liquor house at about $600 per year This would increase the revenue ot the county quite materially, ane would be a benefit te the genera pubic. Such a measure would re celve the support of the saloon men as 1t would throw the business into hands of few, thus closing up al but the most respectable houses.

What an avalanche of. statute law the legislatures, state and territorial, will send down upon suffering pee- pie throughout the land during this winter. Little of it will be of any good, and much will be of positive in- jury. Somehow notien exists that a leolslative enactment IS a reliei from all evil. A civilization cannot he forced by that means. It will be a good law only when it is consistent with the needs of the people and is harmonious with their condition ol development; while foolish legislation has been compared to rope of sand which perishes in the twisting.-South- west Sentinel.

.fFrom the Chicago Journal,

-(From the Chicago Journal)
 The statement that reporters are possessed of more cheek than any other individuals on the footstool who are compelled ts earn their own living is untrue. I saw it proved so yester- day ts my satisfaction. It was the noon hour in a handsomely equipped refsctory, where every day a rather elaborate lunch is served free to the habitues of the place, but fer which one is expected te buy some liquid re- treatments to wash it down. Shortly after 12 a "gsntleman" entered, and, walking up to the bar, pulled from his pocket paper parcel, unrolled It, and disclosed tive generously s1eated sand wiches. He opened it, and seeing nc mustard, called to the proprietor, who was watching him curiously, to get seme. More amused than annoyed, the proprietor did SC, and then, lean- ing against the bar, gazed at the man as he plastered a thick layer of the German condlment on the meat, and then slewly y got on the outside of the sandwiches. That delicate Job fin ished, the luncher locked blandly in the propri~esr's face and m his "reech dialect" said: T say, Sol, old man, I'll shake you for the drinks" Had "Sel' not been suddenly selzed with severe fit of coughing he might have tossed the ivory cubes with his guest; but. as it was, he simply motioned to the bar tender to give Cheeky" what he wanted and charge it to the house and then went cut into the air for reliet.
