The newspaper is a private enterprise.
Its object is to make money for its
owner. Whatever motive may be given
out for Btarting a newspaper, expecta
tion - of profit by it is the real one,
whether the newspaper is religions,
political, scientifio or literary. The ex
ceptional cases of newspapers devoted
to ideas of " causes" without regard to
profit, are so few as not to affect the
rule. Commonly, the cause, the sect,
the party, the trade, the delusion, the
idea, gets its newspaper, its organ, its
advocate, only when some individual
thinks he can see a pecuniary return in
estnblishintr it.
The chief function of the newspaper
is to collect and print the news. The
second function is to elucidate the news,
and comment on it, and show its rela
tions. A third function is to furnish
reading matter to the general public.
Nothing is so difficult for the man
ager as to know what news is; the in
etinct for it is a sort of sixth sense.
To discern out of the mass of materials
collected not only what is most likely
to interest the public, but what phase
ana aspect of it wiu attract most Rtten-
tion, and the relative importance of it;
to tell the day before or at midnight
whr.fc the world will be talking about in
the morning, and what it will want the
fullest details of, and to meet that want
in advance, requires a noculiar talent.
There is always some topic on which the
public wants instant information. It is
easy enough when the news is de
veloped, nnd everybody is discussing it
for the editor to fall in. But the suc
cess of the news printed depends upon
a pra-apprehension of all this. Scarcely
less important than promptly seizing
and printing the news, is tho attractive
arrangeruent of it, its effective prt senta
tion to the eye. Two papers may have
exactly the same important intelligence,
identically the same dispatches; the one
wui be called brigut,attractive, "nowsy,
the other dull and stupid.
AHEBIOAN AND FOREIGN JOURNALS.
In particularity and comprehensive
tiess of news collecting it may be ad
mitted that the American newspapers
for a time led tho world. I mean in the
picking up of local intelligence and the
use of the telegraph to make it general
And with this ar.se the old notion that
news is made important by the mere fact
or its rapid transmission over the wire.
The English journals followed, speedily
overtook and, soruo of the wealthier
ones perhaps, surpassod the American
in the use of the telegraph and in the
presentation of some sorts of local
news; not of casualties, and small city
and neighborhood events, and social
gossips (until very recently), but cer
tainly m tne business of the law-courts
and the crimes and mishaps that coma
wituin police and legal supervision.
The leading papers of the German cross.
though strong in correspondence and in
discussion of a!lairs, are far lesa compre
hensive in their news than the Ameri.
can or tho English. The French jour
nals we are accm-tomed to sav are not
newspapers at all. And this is true as
wo uae tho word. Until recently noth
ing has beeu of importance to the
Frenchman except himself; and what
happened outside of France, not directly
affecting his glory, his profit or his
pleasure, did not interest him. Hence,
one could nowhere so securely intrench
himself against the news of the world,
as behind the barricade of the Paris
journals. But let us not make a mis.
take in this matter. We may have
more to learn from the Paris jour
nals than from any others. If they
ao not give wnat we call news, local
news, events, casualties, the happenings
ot tne day, they do give ideas, opinions,
they do discuss politics, the social drift,
they give the intellectual ferment of
Paris, they supply the material that
i'ans likes to talk over the badinage
01 tne boulevard, the wit of the salon
tne sensation ot tno etage, tho new
movement in literature and in politics
this may bo important or it may be
trivial; it is commonly more interesting
man much 01 what wo call news.
WHAT 13 NEWS?
What is news ? What is it that an
intelligent public should caro to hear
of and talk about I lJun your eye down
the columns of your journal. There
was a drunken squabble last night in a
New York groggory; there is a petty
cut caretuuy elaborated village scandal
about a foolish girl; a woman acci
dentally dropped hor baby out of
fourth-story window in Maine; in Con
necticut a wife, by mistake, got into the
same railway train with another
woman's husband; a child fell into
well in New Jertcy; there is a column
about a peripatetic horse-race which
exhibits, like a circus, from city to
city; a laborer in a remote town in
Pennsylvania had a suubtroke; there is
the edifying dyiDg speech of a mur
derer, the love-letter of a suicide, the
eet-to of a couple of Congressmen, and
there are columns about the gigantic
war of half a dozen politicians over the
appointment of a sugar-gauger. Grant
ed that this pabulum is desired by the
reader, why not save the expense of
transmission by having several columns
stereotyped, to be reproduced at proper
intervals? With tho data changed it
would always have the original value
and perfectly satisfy the demand, if u
demand exists, for this sort of news.
This is not, as yon see, a description
of your journal; it is a description of
only one portion of it. It is a complex
and wonderful creation. Every morn
ing it is a mirror of the world, more or
less distorted and imperfect, but such a
mirror as it never had held up to it be
fore. But consider how much space is
taken tip with mere trivialities and vul
garities, under tho name of news. And
this evil is likely to continue and in
crease until news-gatherers learn that
more important than the reports of acci
dents and casualties is the intelligence
of opinions and thoughts, the moral
and intellectual movements of modern
life. A horrible assassination in India
is instantly telegraphed; but the pro
gress of such a vast movement as that
of the Wahabee revival in Islam, which
may change the destiny of great prov
inces, never gets itself put upon the
wires. We hear promptly of a land
slide in Switzerland, but only very
slowly of a political agitation that is'
changing the constitution of the repub
lic. Ic should bo said, however, that
the daily newspaper is not alone re
sponsible for this. It is what the age
and the community where it is pub
lished make it. 80 far as I have ob
served the majority of the readers in
America peruse eagerly three columns
about a mill between an English and a
naturalized Amerioan prize-fighter, but
will only glance at a column report of a
debate in the English parliament which
involves a radical change in the whole
policy of England; and devours a page
about the Chantilly races, while it ig
nores a paragraph concerning the sup
pression of the Jesuit BehooiH. .
NEiaHBonuoOD gossip.
Perhaps the most striking feature of
the American newspaper, especially of
the country weekly, is its enormous de
velopment of local and neighborhood
news. It is of Tecent date. Horace
Greeley used to adviso the country edi
tors to give small apace to the general
news of the world, but. to cultivate as
siduously the home field, to glean
every possible dotail of private hfo in
the circuit of the county and print it.
The advioe was shrewd for a metropoli
tan editor, and it was not without its
profit to tho country editor. It was
founded on a deep knowledge of human
nature, namely, upon the fact that peo
ple read most eagerly that which they
already know, if it is about themselves
or their noighbors, if it is a report of
something that they havo been con
cerned in, a lecture they have heard, a
fair, or festival, or wedding, or funeral,
or barn-raising they have attended.
The result is column after oolumn of
short paragraphs of gossip and trivi
alities, chips, chips, chips. Mr. Sales
is contemplating erecting a new counter
in his store; his rival opposite has a
now sign; Miss Bumps, of Gath, is vis
iting her cousin, Miss Smith, of Boz
rah; the sheriff has painted his fence;
Farmer Brown has lost a cow; the emi
nent member from Neopolis has put an
L on ono end of his mansion and a
mortgage on the other. On tho face of
it nothing is so vapid and profitless as
columns after columns of this reading.
These " items" have very little interest
except to those who already know the
facts. But those concerned like to see
them in print, and take tho newspaper
on that account.
Severe Droughts.
An interesting record is that of Revere
droughts as far back as tho landing of
the Tilgrims. How many thousand
times are observations ' made like
the following : , " Such a cold
f eason 1" " Such a hot season I"
"Such dry weather!" or "Such
wet weather 1" " Such high winds or
calm 1" etc. All those who think the
dry spell we have had this year is the
longest ever known, will do well to read
the following:
In the summer of 1621, 24 days in
succession without rain.
In tho summer of 1C30, 41 days in
succession without rain.
In the summer of 1007, 7o days in
succession without rain.
In the summer of 1662, 80 days in
succession without rain.
In the summer of 1674, 45 days in
succession without rain.
In the summer of 1680, 81 days in
succession without rain.
In the summer of lb, V days in
succession without rain.
In the summer of 1705, 40 days in
succession without rain.
In the summer of 1724, 61 days in
succession without rain.
In the summer of 1728, 61 days in
succession without rain.
In tho summer of 1730, 92 days in
succession without rain-
In tho summer of 1741, 72 days in
succession without rain.
In the summer of 1749, 108 days in
succession wituoutrain.
In the summer of 1755, 42 days in
succession without rain.
In the summer of 1702, 123 days in
succession without rain.
in the summer of I78d, eu days in
succession without rain.
In tho summer of 1791, 82 days in
succession without ram.
In tho summer of 1802, 23 days in
succession without rain.
In the summer of 1812, 28 days in
succession without ram.
In the summer of 1856, 24 days in
succession without rain.
in tho summer of 1871, i days in
succession without rain.
In tho summer of 1875, 26 days in
succession without rain.
Ia the summer of 1876, 27 days in
succession without rain.
It will bo seen that the longest
drought that ever occurred in America
was in the summer of 1702. No rain
foil from the first of May to the first of
September, making 123 days without
rain. Many of Ilia inhabitants sent to
England for hay and grain.
Remarkable Instance of Longevity.
A correspondent writing from Tejon
ranch informs us of tne death 01
notable Indian which recently took
place there. He was one of the origi
nal neophytes that the first SaUiFran-
ciscoan friar, who landed at Dan Diego
in 1769 under the leadership of the
great missionary Jonipero Sera, col
lected around them. About this time
the first permanent Spanish settlements
in Cahiornia were made, and as he had
a distinct recollection of that event he
furnishes one of the most remarkablo
instances of longevity on record, litis
reputed age waj 115 years, but he was
probably older. He was a well-grown
youth, or probably a young man, at
tho time tho mission of San Fernando
was founded, in the erection of which
he assisted. His baptismal name was
Francisco, and his Indian patronymic
J e-ne-coa, and ho was usually called
Teneco. He was appointed alcalde by
tne first Franciscan friar in charge of
that mission over the Tejon or Ten
Noef and other surrounding tribes of
Indians, and, deriving his authority
irom that ancient source and his per
sonal qualities, he has ever since been
chief of the Tejan Indians. Kern

Where the Horses Went.
Farmers in the neighborhood of De
Witt and Brunswick, Mo., recently
have misseu great numbers of horses.
It was known, of course, that the ani
mals were being stolen; but where the
thieves took them the victims had no
idea. Roads were guarded all night,
horses continued to disappear. A few
days ago a hunter penetrated the depth
of a forest of willows that grow at the
mouth of the Grand river. The forest
covers an island of some 5,000 acres,
and bo thickly interwoven are the limbs
of the trees that it is extremely difficult
to enter. The sportsman heard the
neigh of a horse far in among the wil
low. It occurred to him that the neigh
had some connection with the mystery
of the missing animals. A half-hour's
hard work brought him to the heart of
the forest, and there he saw forty or
more horses quietly feeding in a barbed
wire inolosure.- The thieves had a se
cret path to the ponnd. They had been
removing the horses at pleasure daring
night by means of a Mississippi flat
boat. On the evening 01 the discovery
they were nabbed.

FOR THE LADLES.
The I lllct.
" It is strange," said a dealer in new
articles of fashion, "that tho vice of
drunkenness should contribute anything
to the adornment of women, but tho
origin of the fillet was among old
topers. The fillet came back into use
with the fashion that superseded the
heavy plaits of hair, the innumerable
curls and the Anger puffs, with the style
of arranging the hair bo that it would
show the general contour of the head.
Although the new fashion was said to
be an imitation of tho Grecians, yet it
is conceded that women cannot do bet
ter than imitate the most beautiful na
tion of the world. The fillet came back
with the low classio coil, for bound
around the head it defined more plainly
its shape and brought.out in good effect
all the slumbering warmth that might
exist in dark, or light hair."
"But what is a fillet?"
"Don't you remember Pope's line,
A belt her waist, a fillet binds her
hair?' It was the original diadem
worn by kings, and in those days it was
woven of silk thread or wool, and was
sometimes embroidered in gold and set
with precious stones. As luxury in
creased it became larger until it became
the golden diadem. The fashionable
fillet of to-day is not necessarily of gold
or precious stones, but some of the
dames of our millionaires will probably
appear at tho balli this winter with a
fortune in a fillet. For the masses,
however, there are offered pretty bands
of faceted steel and brilliant jets vary
ing in width from a fourth to three-
fourths of an inch. The steel fillets or
bands are usually worn singly; that is,
single band is considered suihcient
ornament for the hair; but in jets the
fillets ore made in double and triple as
well as single bands, those consisting
of more than one piece being joined at
the ends. The pieces converge where
they are concealed by the hair, and di
verge at the crown. Tho ornaments are
almost universally becoming. The in
teresting point about them is that
Bacchus invented them for wear in the
morning after his revels. His followers
complained so much of their heads
after a bout with him that he devised
the fillet to relievo the after effects of
the wino, and taught the old topers to
bind it tightly about their heads so as
to cause intense compression. This is
the origin of tho most becoming head
dress ever known, and women with low,
broad brows, oval faces, cloan-cut fea
tures, and general Grecian outlines
must sing the praise of ' Bacchus, ever
fair and young.'" New York Sun.
Fnnltlon Note.
A new model for a wrap designed by
Worth has groups of shirring set some
distance apart at tho neck, and is plaited
throughout. The material is of bro
cade, tho lining is of violet plush, and
there is a jet fringe for a border and a
jot cord and tassel for a fastening.
Silk stockings must invariably match
the toilet wherewith they are worn, un
less the dress be black, when any shade
of red is in good style. If the black
dress is trimmed with gay colors or em
broidered with flowers in their natural
hues, black silk open-worked stockings
aie then appropriately worn. For gen
eral wear, stockings of pale silver gray,
mauvo, doe-color and deep cardinal,
devoid of decoration, find just now a
more ready market than tho more fancy
colored, profusely decorated styles.
In the matterof coiffure, the dressing
cf tho hair still remains simple. The
coils and braids at tho back aie small,
and the dressing of the hair over the
forehead is left to tho tasto of the
wearer, as are also the equally fashion
able modes of arranging the small coils
of hair in tho back; a la Grenue, a la
Japanese, a la Bernhardt. This latter
style is sometimes chosen by ladies
when they have just about three min
utes in which to " do np" their tresses,
as one simple twist of the wrist is all
that is necessary to produce a Bernhnrdt
eomure ot tho most approved design.
Young ladies aro c-een stylishly
dressed in black surah costumes, with
tunic slightly draped and close-fitting
Jersey bo 'ico of black stockinet. Over
this is always worn a fichu, capo or
scarf of black Spanish lace, which con
ceals in a' measure the severely plain
appearance of this waist. With this
dress are worn broad-brimmed hats of
black cactu3 lace straw, trimmed with
feathers and deep red roses, with corset
bouquet to match. Long Danish kid
ploves, or those of fine black silk,
whi.h reach to the elbows, aro drawn
over the outside of the Jersey slcoves,
No bangles are worn.
A pretty school-drefs is made of beige
material dotted with seal-brown and
combined with a plain beige fabrio to
match. The ekirt of the plain beige
has a deep fluting of the same. The
overskirt forms two shawl points in
front, and is draped over the left side
with two pointed lappets loosely tied
together. Tho deep jacket waist isalso
of plain beige, but with a bias hirred
border of the dotted fabric, and a col
lar and facings of the same. The tight
sleeves have a prettily-devised facing
opening to show a tiny fluting, which is
of the plain material, whilo the facing
itself is dotted.
A novelty in lingerie is a graceful
fichu cut in deep Vandykes and richly
embroidered around the long points
with clusters of tho darkest red roses
and small black poppies with golden
hearts. The edges are finished with
gathered ruffles of black guipure lace,
with a high plaited frill of the same
lace about the neck. These fichus are
worn without a vestige of white about
the throat. Beautiful fichus in this
style are also made of black satin,
hand-plaited in pomegranate blossoms
and pale yellow star blossoms, and for
evening wear are those of tinted or
white surah, embroidered in white Mar
guerites, outlined with pearl beads and
edged with frills of pearl-beaded Auril
lao lace.
A stylish bodice for a satin dress is
made cuirass-shape with detp points
front and back. The edge of the basque
is trimmed with three plaits, wide on
tho hips and narrower toward the
points. These drapings are to be em
broidered with beads. Five small bands
edged with bows of satin, trimmed
with the beading, alternate with the
drapings and form facings down the
front of the bodice, which is cut low
a la Viergo, and veiled with Spanish
blonde lace. A straight Medici collar
in satin and a high fraise of plaited
lace are added. The tight sleeves.reach
ing below the elbow, have deep turn
over cuffs matching the straight collar
lnd lace fraise in shape and finish.

A MOUNTAIN'S FALL.
Drtnll of the Terr) Me Lnnd Slip In Sirltscr
Innd.
A correspondent sends to a New York
paper the following graphic account of
tho destruction of Elms, Switzerland,
through a land slip:
The end eanio on the evening of Sun
day, the 11th inst. in tho "Saints
Calendar," current in some parts of
Switzerland, marked ' The day of Felix,
saint of luck and happiness." During
tho early part of that day the people of
Elms went about their usual vocations
in the usual way and withont any antici
pation of the terrible calamity which
was so near at hand. The little church
was well attended, heartv dinners were
eaten, and afterward, as was the custom,
i. x . 1 1 - -
must 01 me people, 01a ana young,
walked through the meadows or upon
the mountain side. At 5 o'clook in
the evening, while many of them
were still out in the fields, some one
was heard crying, "Look at the Platt
enberg look at the Plattenberg I"
Thoso who followed the direction and
are still alive say that for a moment it
seemed to them as if every peak above
the Blate quarry was in motion ; then
there came a rumblincr noise, like far-
off thunder, and in a moment they were
blinded by clouds of dust. When they
could see again they found that a great
slice of earth and stone had slipped
down the Tsehingelalp, burying fine
houses and covering acres cf good land.
Men and women were at the same time
Been struggling amonif the ruins, and
from all sides, friends, neighbors and
rolatives hurried to their aid, Un
happily, thoy hurried also to a terrible
death. Even while they were en
gaged in their work of love
the mountain above them moved
again. This lime the sound of thunder
was not far distant, but only too near at
hand. The pine trees on the grassy
slopes were seen to sink. A
. great clom
d the whole
of dust and steam coverec
valley; thousands of tons of stone were
hurled through the air. An all-over
powering wind pressure carried every
thing before it. There was a terrible
crash, a sound of madly-rushing tor
rents, and all was still. Then the dust
and emoke cleared away, the suu phone
in a cloudless sky, nnd it was seen that
far as the eye could reach the once
blooming Sernf valley was covered with
from forty to 160 feet of black stone,
moraine, dirt and slime. Forty dwelling
houses, the best in tho village, together
with dozens of stables and outbuildings,
were buried far out of sight, torn
to pieces by tho air-pressure, strewn
broadcast over tho moraine. One hun
dred and eleven of the people of Eim
were swallowed up in the general rum.
At last twelve strangers Italian quar-
rymen shared their fate. It was useless
to think of repelling any who fell in that
awful death slough. Far out upon its
edgp, from a strong house, which was
only portially covered with tho slime
and stone, four persons a graybeard of
nmoty-one years and a mother with two
children were taken out badly injured,
but alive. Every other human being
overtaken in the path of the avalanche
was forever buried out of human sight.
Fifteen lumps of torn and bleeding
flesh, masses of pulp withont shape or
form, were taken out. The others rest
in a grave so deep and strong that no
man can uncover it. In one house
thirteen persons who sat at a christening
feast, and who are known to have
joked with each other in regard to the
old superstition about thirteen at table,
were swallowed up as they sat. uu a
lonely hillside, out of the way of dan
ger, an old man and woman lived with
'heir only son. After the first slido of
the mountain the father and son hurried
down to the help of their friends. They
were swallowed up with the rest. A
childless widow, who hots become a
chattering idiot, now occupies the
lonely dwelling. Daughters who hur
ried to tho help of their fathers, moth
ers who would have saved their child
ren, lovers who strovotoaid theirbrideN,
were together buried in the awful mo
raine. It is feared that many of thoso
who havo been left behind will sharo
the fate of the poor creature who,
mourning a husband and a son, has gono
mad with sorrow.
The extent of the land slip is almost
beyond belief. To give anything like
an adequate idea of it is no easy task.
It is in no way to be compared to tho
Goldau slip of 1806, when, as will be
remembered, 457 people lost their lives,
In the latter can the mountains slid
down and covered the village. At Elm a
great mass of the Plattenborg, a mass
1,500 feet wide, at least 2,000 feet high
above tho valley, and according to the
engineers, from sixty to 100 feet deep,
fell over upon the village, its farms,
gardens and meadows. Tons of rocks
were dashed entirely across tho valley,
and now rest quietly. 300 and 400 feet
high upon the hillside. The air
pressure was so great that houses
were lifted np from their founda
tions and carried a distance of 1,000
fest. A barn built of heavy logs, and
filled with hay, wa3 carried entirely
across tho valley ond overturned 200
feet high on tke mountain opposite the
Plattenberg. An iron bridge which
crossed tho Sernf was torn up, carried
scores of feet away from its abutments,
and now rests on end, more than half
buried in mud and loose stone. The
whole valley, as far as it can bo seen
from the village inn, which is still
standing, very closely resembles the
bed of a glacier which has receded. As
I have already sta:ed,the masses of atone
and earth which have fallen are every
where piled up to a height of very many
feet. At least 500 acres are covered
in this way. The river Sernf has made
for itself a new channel through the
debris, and has flooded and ruined
much of the land below, land which was
not directly harmed by the avalanche of
stone. So in one way or another the
whole valley has been injured boyond
all hope of repair. The loss in prop
eity will reach not less than 2,000,000.;
at the lowest estimate 123 people havo
lost their lives. The State engineers,
fearing further land-slides, have for
bidden those who have escaped to re
turn to the houses which are standing,
and in consequence more than 800 mon,
women and chil Iren who, but a few
dajs, were prosperous and well-to-do,
ara now almost without a roof to cover
them.
Ihe Hour, a New York journal, has
been " ciphering" a little, and presents
as a result some strange figures re

the Hour, " 10,000,000 working people

a day, which makes $20,000,000, and
then there is the interruption to com

An Intermitted Wedding.
TJniontown (Ky.) society has been
given a shock from which it will take a
long time to recover, xne trouble cm
minated at a wedding. The about-to-be
bride was young, refined, and, as hei
masculine acquaintances aver, beauti
ful. Tho groom had been introduced
into tho best circle of Lnioutown peo
pie a few months before, and had com-
tpletely won tho confidence of tho young
T woman's parents. He was handsome,
scholarly and of fascinating manners
A week or so ago the friends of the
bride met at tho church where the cere
mony was to be performed, and soon
the bride herself entered, with flowing
veil aud rosy cheeks. The clergyman,
whose services had been secured for the
occasion, eyed the bridegroom closely.
and when the latter drew near the good
man dropped his book as though both
amazed and horrihcd.
" I cannot marry this man," he said
recovering quickly.
"Why not, sir ?" asked tho bride's
father, rii-ing in anger from his seat and
moving toward the clergyman.
" Because I married this man to an
other woman at Evansville, lnd., less
than a vcar ago."
Some of the ladies fainted, the bridegroom-elect
gesticulated violent pro
