Continental Newspapers.

From an article in the November
number of the Pail Mall Magazine:
The person who would wish to learn
something about the chief newspapers
of foreign countries must first grasp
the fact that they are IN two or three
most important points very different
from the great English journals with
which he is 50 familiar. In the Arst
place, they seldom make any striking
pretense of being "up-to-date" news
purvey0rs for the public. in the senSe
that we understand that term in re1a-
ton to the British and American Press.
In fact, they give some few items of
fresh news here and there in their
pages, but it is in NEST cases very
desultory kind of rechauffe.
Secondly, newspapers on the CONT
nent are seldom or never sold so widely
on the streets to every passer by as
ours are; they are nearly all su5serip-
ed for by advance payments, and then
are delivered by hand or pee. at the
houses of the various subscribers as
they are issued. 1t is true that in Paris.
Berlin and one or two other large towns
one can buy a paper ct the kiosks
which are in many parts OF the city,
but this system is nothing like so uni
versal as are our news agents shops
Again, the continental papers, almost
without exception, devote large part
Of their space to short story, or con-
tinuation of a serial one. daily: and
they have, comparatively speaking,
much more space given up to advertise
ments than our papers have
Lastly. there are few papers or
Europe outside our own country which
exercise any important effeci on the
public regarding political events, such
as is exercised every day by the great
London and New York journals.
Though foreign papers pretend tc be
liberal or conservative. as the case may
be, the meaning of these terms TO them
is quite different from what ii is to us.
Roughly speaking. they may be taken
10 be of two classes, either supporters
of the government or opposed to it;
few pretend to be OF no politics at all

FEW INDIANS ARE ABSENT
INSPECTOR NESLER DIScREDITs
LATEST SCARE STORY.
A Few May Have Sneaked Over to
Colorado, But the Indian Police
Will Bring Them Back.

Indian Inspector Nesler, who is at
the Knutsford, having just come from
the Ouray agency, does not believe that
there will be any trouble with the In
dams, whom it is said have gone hunt
ing in Colorado.
There is nothing yet to prove that
any of them have left the reservation,
said he last night, and if it so turns
out we will likely find that a few have
sneaked away and they will sneak back
again. One thing should be made very
plain: Agent Myton has given no
passes to Indians, and if they are Oft
the reservation they have gone without
his authority.
He will not act until he receives off,
cial notice of their presence in Colo
rado, either from the game wardens of
that state or learns from the Indian
police that they have gone. There will
be no difficulty in bringing them back.
The Indian police will attend to that
without trouble. The reservation is SO
large, some Indians living 100 miles
away from the agency, that it takes
some time to learn when any of them
have left"
