The Newspaper Hoportcr.
A WOlllt lOIt TIIK WOtlKKK WHO IS OFTKN
MIMUIHIKII MY OUTSIDKHS.
Whon n newspaper reporter rings a
door boll and asks for tho lntcst and
moat ( anlhentlo particulars of Mr.
Jones' recent domestio vicissitude,
whether It bo tho running away of his
daughter or tho bursting of tho water
back of tho range, It is a mlstako to
suppose that tho reporter perionally
cares two pence for the disturbance in
Mn Jones' household. If ho is pcrti
nncious and too ofton ho is it is mis
taken zeal In keeping fealty with tho
groat publio, which dcliuhts In tho
knowledgo of Mr. Jones' doraestio af-
lairs.
There is no body of men with less
personal curiosity than reporters. Ex
perience on any well conducted nows
paper quickly blunts tho edge of that
interest in small doings that character
izes individuals in privato llfo. If ho
assists at a prizo ficht to day, ho is
prcsont at a mectinc of tho ovmirroli
cal alliauco to-morrow, and the noxt
day at a political primary. If on Mon
day ho interviews somo distincuished
resident of the jail, on Tnesday ho
usienca 10 nign autnority on impor
tant questions on publio polioy up
town.
it is keen pleasure to listen to
tho conversation of a croup of
ablo tiewspapor men. Their profess
ion gives to them a grip on the mom
merit, and thoy know whon to let go,
I hoy move lightly from subject to
subject, but with that discrimination
which their knowledgo of men and af
fairs has given them. Their training
has Induced tho habit of dear, succinct
statement. Ihoy karn to think as
thoy writo. They seize tho salient
points unerringly, and that largeness
of view that circumstances breed in
them induco moderation of statement
and of opinion.
Few peoplo strivo to bo accurate un
der disadvantages as does the nows
paper person. lie hears a rumor here,
Ho liastoris to verify it thero. Mean
while ho has consulted a number of
persons supposed to hold tho cerm of
truth, and their statements all differ.
But nothing is moro difficult than tho
truth. This is not from a lack of will,
or a preferonco for lying, but from sheer
mummy 10 appreciate mo vawa oi ac
curacy. Nino-tenths of tho inaccura
cies in newspapers ariso in this way,
Thero is not a reporter in Now York
city who has not spent weary hours in
conversation in order to get a grain of
truth, and often to find in the end that
that supposed cram of truth is error,
With whatevor vehemence it may bo
denied, tho newspaper person knows
that most people aro pleased to bo con
sulted by tho representative of anv
well known nowspaper. Although
knowing what thev sav is going to ap
pear in print, most people at such times
talk with pleasure But typo has no
graoetui gestures, animated expres
sions, and sympathetic tones. It is
bald, cold, cruel and, tho interviewed
is likely to add, untruthful. Thorefcau
be no more cruel exercise of tho inter
viewer's power than the rendering of
an interview into typo exactly as it was
spoken.
Tho reporter usally gives his inter
view a dignity it does not in fact pos
Bess. He weeds out tho superfluities
dears away the verbiage, linkB tho
logical sequence, and mends the gram
mar. This, is on his part, is purely
gratuitous. But if bo has been kept
standing too long in the hall, snubbed
by the supercilious servant, or received
less courtesy than ho has a right to ex
pect in the drawing room, ho sees no
reasons for departing from his duties
as a faithful reporter. Thero aro many
men of sound minds and correct judg
ment who are careless of speoch in tho
ardor ot conversation. .Not uncora
monly a bank president or a Congress
man will thoughtlessly say "ain't'1
when ho should have said "hasn't,
Tho next morning, when this appears,
ho realizes that in some manner "ain't''
seems to havo impaired tho value of
his opinion, and ho feels that a just
estimate ot ma character and mental
ability has not been presented.
Most men co into journalism young,
and before they realize that bodies
need the consideration given to other
sorts of machinery. Thero is no tyrant
so absolute as tho printer's dovil. Al
though tho tired brain reel and the
hand fail, for tho newspaper person
tnero is no to-morrow only to-day.
J. no lascmation ot lournahsm can
ouly bo compared to that of the foot
lights. In literature posterity has
voice. In journalism ono snaps his
fingers at tho future and refuses to be
awed by tho past Tho present to
day is king.
A Paradise for Tramps,
Tho Karg gas-well was discovered
in Findlay, Ohio, about fifty miles south
of Toledo, on January 20, 1880. The
gas was conducted forty-eight feet
aoovo tno ground, through a six-inch
iron pipe, and when lighted tho flame
rose from twenty to thirty feet above
tno pipe, it is dithcult to exaggerate
tho magnificent and impressive effect
of . this burning well at night. Tho
noiso of tlte escaping gs is like the
roar of Niagara. Tho whole town is
brightly illuminated by tho light of the
uamo.
When I mado my visit to tho well,
ono evening in February, 188G, snow
covered tho ground.to tho depth of three
or four inches ; but for a distance of
two hundred yards in every direction,
the heat of tho flamo had melted the
snow from tho ground, and the grass
and' weeds had grown two or thiee
inches in height. Tho crickets ako
seemed to havo mistaken tho season of
tho year, for they were enlivening the
night with their cheerful song. The
neighborhood of tho well was also a
paradiso for tramps. I noticed one
who lay soundly sleeping with his
head in a barrel, and tho rest of his
body projecting outward to recoivo the
genial warmth from tho flamo high in
tho air above. Cold as it wis all
around, he Blept in perfect comfort up
on tho turf and in tho open air. Thero
was no danger of his Buffering within
that charmed circle. . A'icholas.
How to Find Drowned Bodies,
Wo learned that two negroes tied
thoir clothing to tho backs of their
necks and attempted to swim tho river
near Abbeville, about two weeks since,
says the Hawkinsville (Ga.) Dhpatci,
Ono of them gained tho opposite bank
in safety, but tbo other drowned. The
plan for recovering tho dead body was
rather a novel one. An old darkey
took a bundle of fodder and placed it
in tho river whero tho drowned negro
first sank, when it floated down about
lifty yards and suddenly stopped and
commenced to whirl slowly round and
round. Hero tho old negro dived
down and teeured tho body. Ho claims
to havo recovered four or five other
lost bodies by this means, in his ox
perienoe, and declares it to bo an infalli
ble guide, .
THE COLUMBIAN AND
Bttuset Oux as a Campaigner,
Whilo riding about Spriniificld In
company with Mr. Hill who was may
or of that city twenty-fiyo yoars ago,
and C4corgo Bpcnce, Iho former told a
chnractcristlo Btory of Sam Cox, con
nected witli tlio celebrated campaign
n which tho ox fllinislcr to Turkey
beat Sam Shcllabargcr in n district
which the republican Jiegulaturo mado
for tho express purpose of keoplng
Sunset Cox out of Congress.
lull was showing Uox over tho coun
ty and tho latter was to spoak somo
place out in German township. On
tho way out thoy passed a very prom
inent and influential German republi
can who was plowing alongside tho
road. Thoy waited for him to como
around tho "laud" and Hill said to
Cox:
'I will introduco you to him."
"Don't do it." said Cox, "Wo will
have a chat with him, but don't intro
duco ino."
Presently the farmer camo round and
halted his team rather reluctantly.
"I haven t time to talk to you, ' said
ie, "this plowing must bo done.''
"That is all right," said mil,
jump-
ing out of his buggy. "My friend
would liko to talk with you. 1 was
raised on a farm, and I will plow whilo
you talk."
With that mil "gced up" mo team
and loft Cox and tho farmer talking.
"When I got around tho 20 aoro
field said Hill, I found Sam and tho
farmer down in tho fenco corner play
ing soven up, with a half emptied hot
tlo of whisky between them."
Hill plowed sovcral rounds and the
game kept up. Tho old German won
every timo and was in high gleo nnd
pronounced Sam ono of tho best fel
lows in tho world, only ho didn't know
how to play seven up. If inally Cox
inquired.
Are you going over to tho meeting
to night to hear this. man Cox mako a
speech 1 '
".No, i won t go near him."
"Why?"
"Becauso he's a butternut Seocsh
and a rascall and I don't want to hear
him. I'd sooner play soven up and
drink with a gentleman liko you, than
listen to any rascally butternut mako a
speech.'
"xou arf a man alter my own heart
exclaimed Ham, graspwy his hand.
That.suits me, but como ovor, any
how, and then wo will play a few more
games tor tho drinks.
Tho proposition suited tho larmcr
snd he agreed to go.
Ho was on hand early, seeking eag
erly for his friend of tho fenco corner,
but ho uidn t see him until ho oamo on
tho stand, where lio was introduced as
tho Hon. S. S. Cox.
Tho old follow was paralyzed but
listened to tho speech throughout and
then mado his way to tlio stand.
"1 want to apologize to you."
"What fort" inquired Sam.
"For abusing you , and I want to
say
"JJon t mention it"
"Well, I want to say, Mr. Cox, that
I am going to vote for yon and ray
three sons will do the same."
"Shall wo go and have another game
of seven up !"
"No, but you como to my hooBO
somo time and stay a week and I'll
play with you every day.
That old German neglected his plow
ing or turned it over to his boys, and
went over Clark county, whooping it
up for Sam and was instrumental in
securing over 100 of tho 2,500 by which
ho was elocted in a district that was
republican by' 4,500.
The Largest Farm in the World-
In tho extreme southwest corner of
Louisiana lies the largest producing
farm in the world. It runs 100 miles
north and south and miles cast
and west, end is owned and operated
by a syndioato of Northern capitalists.
Their general manager, J. R. WatKius,
gives an interesting account of this
gigantic plantation, which throws the
great Dalrymple farm in Dakoto into
the shado completely.
"The 1,500,000 acres of our tract,"
Mr. Watkins said, "was purchased in
1883 from the state of Louisiana and
from the United States government.
At that timo it was tho vast grazing
land for tho cattle of the few dealers in
tho neighborhood. When 1 took poss
ession I found over 30,000 head of half
wild horses and cattle. My work was
to divide the immense tract into con
venient pastures, establishing stations
or ranches every six miles. The fenc
ing alono cost in tho ncigborhood of
S50.000. Tho land I found to bo best
adaptod to rice, sugar, oorn and cotton.
All our cultivating, ditching, etc., is
done by steam power. Wo tako a tract,
say half a milo wido for instance, and
place an engine on each side. The
engines aro portable and operato a
cablo attached to four plows, and un
der this arrangement wo aro able to
plow thirty acres a day with only tho
labor of three men. Our harrowing,
planting, and other cultivation is dono
in a liko manner; in fact, thero is not a
single draught horso on tho en tiro
place. Wo nave, of course, horses for
the herders of cattle, of which wo now
havo 10,000 head. Tho Southern
Pacific railroad runs for thirty-six miles
through our farm. Wo havo three
steamboats operating on tho waters of
our own estate, upon which thero aro
800 miles of navigable waters. We
havo an ice house, a bank, a ship yard
and a rico mill.'' ist. Louis Jlepubli-
can.
The Pica Matter.
Whon the fraroers of tho Inter State
Commerce law put tho word "Pica"
that section that reads that all railroad
lines must expose their froicht and pas
senger tariffs at each station on their
road, and tho samo to be printed in
that stylo of type, observes an ex
change, they did not tako into consid
eration tno great outlay this would in
volvo on tho railroad companies. To
roviso the present tariffs to conform to
tho new law is a horculean task of it
self, and requires extra clerical force,
but to change tho typo created conster
nation, in tho rauks of tho freight and
paesenger agents. Tho present tariff
sheets aro. Bet up in nonpareil type, so
at ono "fell swoop all goes bv the
board," aud an entire change must be
had. 'tho standing nonpareil tables
aro smashed, so to speak, and It is in
getting up new ones in tho typo re
quired by law, that makes tho labor
to great and tho expenses so large.
Printing offices do not carry much large
typo whilo tho typo foundries havo hut
nine in biock, me uemaini ueing limn
ed. Now, with tbo now order of thing
oath printing oflico will rcquiro thou
sands and thousands of pounds of pica
typo. All tho foundries of tho country
aro now workiug night and day getting
out pica type, to the neglect of others.
Tho officials of tho Missouri Pacific
Kallroad Company estimate their print
ing bill for this particular job will cost
at least 100,000.. Other roads will
range from $80,000 down to SI 0,000,
Voice Uulture-
Thero aro tho speaker's volco, tlio
singing voico nnd tho conversational
voice. All ot these varieties are nlmosl
never found in perfection in ono person.
Tho difficulty lies in tho nnturo and
structuro of tho vocnl chords. Tucso
arc so organized that thoy can bo culti
vated cxttcmelv In any singlo direction,
but not in all directions, In this re
spect they nro unllko tho artificial
strings of miiRic.it instruments, and for
this reason those who would mako tno
voice n part of their business or social
capital should bo Btrongly decided as
to which department of woik or play
thoy would mako tho voice a prominent
feature, and uso and train it with that
especial reference
Naturo is prodigal of her gifts, but
through a wisdom of her own. bIio has
left much, very much, for man to sup
plement by art. This is shown in tho
superiority of cultivated over wild fruit
tho improvement of animals by domes
tication, and tho increased beauty of
tho doublo over tho single rose. Of
voices it is truo that thero must bo
somo foundation by nature, still the
fact remains that nnturo will not do all
and permit man to shlno gloriously
through idleness and neglect. Tho con
versational voico is most demanded, nnd
for all purposes, is of tho greatest val
ue. Every variety of voico must havo
body, aud to this end tho general
health nnd physical condition must
first receivo attention. This special at
tention must not only bo first but it
should bo continuous through life.
After this, tho diicct thought of tho
rcquisito vocal excrciso will require
very littlo instruction, for all who under
stand tho foundation requisite, will
possess sufficient genius to guido them
in tho latter and finishing process.
On tho stage tho voice is all-important.
Tho young actor is usually a
vocal imitator, whilo tho thoughtful
voico is always poised. There is more
emphasis in tho touo than force, nnd
when this bit ot information is
thoroughly comprchended,overy variety
of vocal expression is greatly improved.
Tho middlo voico has tho most heart
quality aud magnetism, also it is inex
haustible, and produces tho pleasing im
pression that thero is always a reserve.
Clergymen should cultivate this quality
oi voice. Tho voico is a test ot char
acter. One can disguise tho face, the
manner and tho eyes, but seldom thinks
to speak out of tho usual voice. Tho
intellectual man, tho extreme and mod
erato man is readily discerned by tho
voice. One can tell the lawyer by the
hrst word spokon. Hib voico is hard,
tone didactio and inflection downward.
When ho uses tho stago whisper ho is
striving after a great effect. Every
voico has a rango at least of seven
notes, and tho lower is tho conversa
tional register. Tho cultivation of ro-
poso brings graco of voice. Tho
stammering voico is the result of nery
ous affection, and when tho nerves aro
trained to act naturally tho voico will
bo fluent. Health and Home.
