THE AMERICAN NEWSPAPER, , Kxtrnrfa from f'lmili DuiIIot H'nrnrr'n Pnerr, llnd Rrfni-i ilio Amrrlcnn Boclnl Sctrncti Aoclntion. ' 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 County Californian. 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.

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 young clergyman in Iowa reoently married a couple in the following brief manner; "Do yon want one another?" Both replied yes, "Well, then, have one another," 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 garding the cost of stopping the wheels of progress for a day on such occasions as the late funeral of Presi dent Garfield. There are, according to the Hour, " 10,000,000 working people in the country who average at least a day, which makes $20,000,000, and then there is the interruption to com meice and financial transactions and the Iobs of profit on la bo.

People's intentions can only be de cided by their conduct. One day is worth three to him who does everything in order. Gravity is but the rind of wisdom, but it is a preservative rind. The ignorant hath an eagle's wings and an owl's eyes. The king-becoming graces devotion, patience, courage, fortitude. Judgment and reason have been grand jnrymen since before Noah was a Bailor. Promises hold men faster than bone- fits; hope is a cablo and gratitude a thread. Whoever looks for a friend without imperfection will never find what he seeks. We love ourselves with all our faults, and we ought to love our friends in like manner. A man has no right to occupy such high moral grounds that he is constant ly so far above his fellows that ho can be of no earthly assistance to them. A great deal depends upon a man s conrage when he is slandered and tra duced. Weak men are crushed by de traction, but tho brave hold on and sno- ceed. 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 testations, and the wedding party col lapsed. Investigation showed that the charge was well founded. llrnco t'p I This Is the sort of mlvico we would prive to nervous, dyspeptio sufferer.
