Newspaper Writing.

The subject of the kind of cultivation most
needed by a successful editorial writer was
touched upon in little discussion among o
group of journalists. and Mr. James w.
Clarke the leading writer on the Globe, Of
Boston. made special point of history
There cannot be too much reading Of
American political history. said Mr.. Clarke,
for politics being our chief industry is
always and always will be the staple topic of
editorial writing: social and literary matters
take a subordinate place Some few authors
should be read not so much for what they
say as for how they say II. We are lnsenslbly
formed and influenced in our own method and
style Of writing by the methods and styles Of
the authors whom We most read.
IT would be hard 10 say what line of study
or reading is not desirable for a newspaper
writer" continued Mr.. Clarke He cannot
read too much, provided he can remember it,
or in some way. by indexing or scrap booking;
put it ON ice. SO to speak. for future use. Pre-
paratory TO editorial writing there are some
omitted. English and American history head
the list. American history should be read and
reread. not from ext-books merely. but from
the fuller historians, like Bancroft Frothing-
hams Rise of the Republic Of the United
States ought 10 be carefully read and digested
by every one who aims to DO an editorial
writer The lives and letters OF Washington.
Hamilton and Jefferson ought to be read-es-
pecially those of Hamilton and jefferson,
whose writings are the fundamental literature
of al American politics. Read Daniel Web
ster's speeches as many times as possible;
their influence on the prose style of any
careful reader of them must be very yalu-
able. Read good. full history OF Eng
land. paving special attention TO the
Stuart period and the Cromwellian episode.

THE TotsTs.

After full justice had been done the lavish
spread the president announced that the
toasts. which have already been published.
would then be read and responded TO. These
toasts were gotten up with good deal of
taste and printed upon very neat folio card
one of which was placed at the plate of each
person present.
The frat toast, Our Alma Mater" was re-
sponded 10 by Hon. James j. Gordon IN a
speech full OF pathos and tenderness. His
allusion 10 the past history OF old William and
Mary and her honored emaritus president.
Colonel B. s. Ewell was beautiful III the ex-
IRENE. and his hopes and prophecy as to her
future greatness met responsive feeling IN
the hearts Of his hearers.
The next tesst WAS also "Our Alma Mater -
and was responded TO by Colonel William
Lamb. of Norfolk. whom the president intro
duced as the hero of Fort Fisher" This an
nouncement was greeted by an outburst of
applause. The Colonel pald a glowing tribute
to the past history of the college and in elo-
ouent terms recounted tho glorious achieve
ments of tho long list Of her distinguished
aons. He said that the fact that the immortal
Jefferson received his instruction within the
sacred walls was claim alone sufficient to en-
title her 10 the everlasting love and gratitude
of the American people.
The president announced that the next
toast was to have been responded TO by Mr.
Charles s. Stringfellow. but that he was un-
expectedly called away much to his disap-
pointmsnt and regret. General Taliaferro
was then called upon to respond to the toast,
"Our Army and Navy" He arose and said
that this was theme upon which he delight
ed to dwell, but that the history of our coun-
try was so full of the heroic deeds of the sons
of William and Mary in our army and navy
that il would take him OF least
two days to do justice TO this
glorious subject, but that the president
had anticipated him, and chat he was restrict

A ,Damnable Outrage.

One OF the worst outrages that ever
happened in Elko was committed this
afternoon on the person of an old de-
fenseless Indian, who seems to be a
stranger to the Indians that frequent
the streets OF our town. The old man
was sitting down 10y the foot of the
flagstaff resting, when q drunken
brute, who worked for Matte Mul-
ebay during hayinG, walked up to the
old tnan, and without any proyoca-
ton whatever, deliberately kicked
him in the face just below the left
eye. The old man stood the outrage
without q murmur. Tho brute was
promptly lugged off to iai: by JaEe
Engler and j. D. Treat who happened
to witness tho outrageous assault.
Kind hands procured water and
bathed the old mans fase and stopped
the flow of:blood. The brute should
get six months in the county Jail.

Clover Honey.

An enthusiast on the subject states
that each head Of clover is composed Of
about sixty distinct flower tubes, and
each Of these contain sugar not to ex-
coed 50Oth part Of a grain. The pro-
boscis OF the honey bee must therefore
be inserted into 500 clover tubes before
n grain OF sugar can be obtained.
There are 1000 grains in . pound, and
rs honey contains ~three-fourths of its
weight of dry sugar, each pound of
clover honey would represent the in
sertion Of the proboscis into $500. 600
