Says I, "Jofeiab Alien, f there was
a heavy cae to pay for etettm' op
door?, yea would cevcr loose a cent
of your property in that way, and,"
says I, dulchin' my lap full of carpet
rags with a firmer grip, for truly,
they were flatter in' like banners in
the cold breeze, "if you don't want
me to blow away, Josiah Allen, shut
up that door."
"Oh, ebaw! Samanlha, yon won't
blew away, you are too fcerty. It
would take a Hurrrcane and a Si
mon, too. to tackle too. and lift
you,"
"Simon who V fays I, in cold ax
ents, caused partly by my frigid emo
tioD3, and partly by the chilly blast,
and partly by his durin to say any
man could take me up and carry me
way.
"Oh! the Simon they have on the
desert; I've hern Thomas J. read
about 'em. They'll blow camels away,
and everything."
"Stya'l dreamily, "Who'd have
tho't venty years ago, to have heard
that w.;.! a courtin me, and caliin'
me a z't.t;re, and a pink popy, and a
angel, tb'. fce'd ever live too the day
he'd call uiu a camel."
"I han't called you a camel ! I
only meant that yon wus hefty, and
camels was hefty. And it would take
a Simon or two to lift you 'round,
either on you."
"Wall," says I, in frigid tones,
what I want to know is, are you
a goin' to she i tuat door ?"
X es, I be, j.st as quick us 1 chunge
my clothes. 1 don't want to fodder
in thee new briehes."
1 roee with dignity, or as much
di:r:.u.v as I could lav holt cf haif
bent, trying to keep ten or telve
quarts of carpet rags from Fpiilin'
over the fljor and went end shet
the door myself, which I might have
known enough to dLe in the first
plafe, end caved lime and breath.
For chettiu' cf doors is truly a ae
compiicbmeiit that Josiah Alien never
will master.
I have touched him up in lots of
things, eense wo wus married, but in
that branch cf education he has been
too much for me ; I have about gin
np.
In the course of ten or fifteen ruin-
uti, Joiuh came ontof the bed room,
lookin' as ptaeefu'. and pleasant as
yon may please, with his hands in
his pantaloon pockets, eeateliin' their
remote depths, and savs he, in a off
hand, careless way :
"I'll be hanged if there atn't a let
ter for yoa, Samantba."
"How many weeks have tou car
ried it 'round, Josiah Allen ?" says I.
"It would scare me if ycu should
girt me le.Ur teftrf yotr rrrted- h
round in your pocket for a month or
so.7'
'Ob! I guess I only got this two
or three days ago. I meant to hand
it to you three cays ago. Lat I
hain't had oa these old briehes sense
that dv I went to mill."
Three weeks ago, to-day," says I,
in almost frenzy axents, as I opene l
raT letter.
' Wall," says Josiah, cheerfully,
I knew it wasn't very long, any-
bne took off her things, sbe was
dressed op awful slick, and Josiah
helped bring in her trunk. And I
told her just how mortified 1 wus
about Josiab's forgettin' her letter,
and her ketcbin' me unprepared. But,
good Lord! she told me that she nev
er, in her life, fee a house in the or
der mine wus, never, and she bad seen
thousands and thousands of different
bouses.
Says I : "I ft el worked up, an al
most mortified, about my settin'room
carpet bein' up."
But she held np both her hands
(they was white as snow, and all cov
ered with rings.) And says she:
"If there is one thing I love to see,
Samantha, more than another, it is to
see a Benin' room carpet up, it gives
such a sort of free, noble look to a
room."
Says I : "The curtains are down
in the spare bed room, and I am al
most entirely out of cookia'."
"Says she: "If I had my way, I
would never Lave a curtain up to a
window. The sky always looks eo
pore and innocent somehow. And
cockin'," says she, with a look of
complete disgust on her face. "Why,
I fairly despise cookin', what's the
use of it ?" says she, with a sweet
smile.
"Why," says I, reasonably, "if ii
wasn't tor cookin' viltles and catin
'cm, caess we shouldn't stand it a
great wh.l, ncae on us."
I didn't really like the way she
went on. Never, never, through my
bull life, wus I praised up by any
body as I wus by her, duria' the
three days that she stayed with us.
And one mornin. when she had been
goin' on dreadfully, that way, I took
Josiah out one side, and told bim,
"I couldn't bear to hear her go on so,
and believed there wassuthin' wrong
about it."
"Oh, no," says he. "She means
every word she says," says he. "Sbe
is one of the lovliest creeters this
earth affords. She is most an angel.

I glanced my grav eve down my
letter, and says I, in agitated tones:
She that wus Alztna Ann Alien
is comin here a visum . cdb wrote
me three weeks ahead, so's to have
me prepared. And here she is liable
to come m on ns any minute, now,
aud ketch us ail unprepared," says I.
I wouldn't have had it happened
for a ten cent bill, to had one of the
relations, on yoor side, come an' ketch
me in such a condition. I ben, tte
curtains are a.l down la toe spare
room : I washed "em yesterday, and
tber hain't ironed. And the carpet
in the tenia' room cp to meud ; and
not a mite of fruit cake ia the bouse,
an' she a-comin' here to-dar. I am
mortified most to death, Josiah Allen.
And if you'd give me that letter, I
should have hired help, and got eve
thing done. I should think rour
conscience would smart like a burn,
if yon have got a conscience, Josiah
Allen."
"Wall, less have a little eathin to
eat, bamantba, and 1 It neip yoa
round." i
Help! Whai'il vou do. Josiah
Allen ?M
Oh ! I'll do the bara chores, and
help all 1 caa. I guess you'd better
cock a little of that canned sammoa
I got to Joaesviile."
Sav3 I, coidlv, "I believe, Josiah
Allen, if yoa was oa the gaiias, you'd
make 'em stop and get Tittles for yea,
meat vittles it yon could."
I didn't say aothia' more, for, as
the greatest poets baa sung, "The
least said, the soonest mended." But
I rose, and with outward calmness,
pst oa the tea kettle and potatoes,
and opened the caa of simmon, and
jist as 1 put that over toe stove wun
some sweet cream and butter, it
ycu vVl believe it, that very min
ute, she that was Alzina Ann Allen
drove right op to the door, and come
in.
Yoa could have knocked me down
with a ten's feather, (as it were) my
feelin's wus such ; but I conseeled
'em as well as I could, and advanced
to the door, and says I :
"How do yoa do, .Miss Ricberson!"
she is married to Jonathan Ricb
ersoo, old Daniel Richerson's oldest
boy.
She is a tail, spindlia' lookin' wo
man, light compiected, saady-haired,
and with big, light blae eyes. I
bada't s en her fer nineteen veers,
bat she seemed dreadful tickled to
see tre, asd says the :
"Yea look vcunger, Scnath,
than yea did the
seea too.'
first time I
sound mind she has got."
Says I, "I heard her tcHin' yoa
this mornin', that you were one of
the handsomect men she ever laid
eyes on, ana didn't look a day over
twenty-one."
"Well," says he, with the doggy
firmness of his sect. "She thinks so,"
and savs he, in firm axents, "I am a
good lookin' fellow, Samantha. A
crackin' good lookin' chap, but never
could make yoa own up to it"
I didn't say nothin' bat my gray
eye wandered op, and lighted on his
bald head. I rested there searchivly,
and very coldly, for a moment or
two, and then, says I, sternly :
"Bald heads and beauty don't go
together worth a cent. But you wus
always vain, Josiah Allen."
"What if I wus ? She thinks dif
fcxent freta what you do about my
looks. She has got a keen eye in her
head for beauty. She is very smart,
very. And what she says, she
means."
"Wall," says I, "I am glad yoa
are so happy in your mind. Bat,
mark my words, yoa won't always
feel so neat about it, Josiah Allen, as
yoa do now."
bays he, in a cross, early war :
"I guess I know, what I do kaow."
I hain't a yaller hair in the ball of
my foretcp, but I thoaght to myself,
I'd love to see Josiah Allen's eyes
opened ; for I knew my name was
Josiah Allen's wife, and that women
didn't think Josiah was so pretty and
beaatifuL
Bat I didn't see how I was goin'
to convince him, for be wouldn't be
lieve me, when 1 told bim, ebe was a
matin' cf it; and I knew sbe would
sties to wnat sbe naa said, and so
there it was. Bat I held firm, and
cocked good vittles, and done well by
tier.
That verr afternoon we was invit
ed to tea, that was Sylpbina Allen's,
Miss atben Spooner's, as and AIzi
na Ann Allen.
Sylpbia didn't use to be the right
sort of girl, she wus kind of help
less, improvender thing, and tbre
herself awiv oa a worthless, drunken
feller, that sbe married for her first
husband, though Natben Spooner
wus a dvin' for her, even then. Lat
when ber drunken hasband died, and
she was left with that boy of hers,
about six years old, she up and jined
the Methodist cbarch.
I didn't use to associate with ber
at all, and Josiah didn't want me to,
though she was a second cousin on
bis father's side. But folks began to
make much of ber. So 1 and Josiah
did everything for her we could, to
help ber to do well, and bs likely.
And last fall she was married to Na
tbea Spooner, who bada't forgot ber
in all this time.
Tbey make a likely couple, and I
shouldn't wonder if they do well.
Nathea Spooner is bashful ; he looks
as if be wanted to sink it any one
speaks to bim; bat Sylphina is proud
eperited, and holds bim up.
Tbey hain't got a great deal to do
with, and Sylphina, bein' kind o'
afraid of Alzina Ann. eent over and
borrowed ber mother-in law'a white
bandied knives, and, unbeknown to
Alzina Ann, I carried over some tea
spoons, and other things for ber com
fort, for if Sylphina means to do bet
ter, and try to get along, and be a
provider, 1 want to encsurage her all
I can, so I carried ber the spoons.
Wall, no sooner bad we got seated
over to Mrs. Spooaerses, thaa Alzina
begun.
"How much ! bow much that bean

first at Nat hen, and then at the child,
with that enthusiastic look of hers.

ever, and get as red in the face as a
red woolen shirt. Aud tbet Alzina
Ann, looking at the cbild'a pug nose,
and then at Xathen's which was a
sort of Roman one, and the best fee
tor in bis face, as Josiah savs, would
ask Nat hen if folks bada't 'told him,
before, how much bis little; boy re
sembled bis pa. And NatEen would
look this way and that, sad kind o'
frown, and it did seem as if we
couldn't keep bim oat of Uie celler,
to save oar lives. And there it
wus. .
Wall, when it came snpper time,
more wus io store for bimi Sylpbina,
bein' so determined to do better, and
start right in the married life, made
a practice of makin' Natasn ask the
blessin . Bat he, beta so uncommon
bashful, it meda it awful bard for bim,
when they had company. T He wasn't
a professor, nor nothin', and it come
tough on bim. ne looked as if be
would sink all the while Sylphina
wus tettin' the table, for be knew
wbat wus before him. ?
He seemed to feel worse and worse
all the time, and when be wua a-set-tin'
the chairs 'round the table, he
looked bs bad that I didn't know but
he would have to have help to get to
the table. And be'd give the most
pitiful and beseech in' looks to Syl
phina that ever was, bat sbe shook
ber bead at bim, and looked decided,
and then be'd look as if be'd wilt
right down again.
So when we got set down to the
table he gave a kind of a low groan,
and shet up bis eyes, and Sylpbina
and me and Josiah pat oa a becomin'
look for the occasion, and sbet up
our'n, when all of s sudden, Alzina
Ann, she never asked a blessin' in her
own house, and forgot other folks did,
leastways that IS'atbeo did. Alzina
Ann, I say, spoke out, in s real load,
admiria tone, and says she:
"There ! I will say it, I never Bee
such beautiful knives as them be, in
my hnll life. White bandied knives,
somthin' I always wanted to own,
and alwavs thought I would own
But, indeed, never did I see any that
wu3 so perfectly beautiful as these
'ere."
And se held oat berkinfe at arm's
length and looked at It admirin'ly and
almost rapturousiv.
Xathen looked bad dreadful bad,
but we didn't none of us reply to ber,
and sbe seemed to sort o' quiet down,
and Sylpbina gave Natten a look, and
he bent his bead, sbet up cis eyes
agin, and she, me and Josiah sbet up
our'n
And Natben wus jeBt a-beginnin'
a?ia. when Alzina Ana broke oat
afresh, and says she :
"What wouldn't I give if I could
own some knives like them 7 Wbat
a orond and happy woman it would
make me."
That roused us all up agin, and
never did I unier was on a
funeral occasion a face look as Xa-
tben's face looked.
Nobodr could have blamed bim if
be giv up, then, and not made anotb
er efiert
Bat Sylphina, bein' so awful deter
mined to do it jist right, and start
right in the married life, she winked
te Natben agin, a real sharp and en-
couragin' wink, and shet up her eyes,
and Josiah and me done as sbe done,
and sbet up our'n.
And Xathen (feelin as if he must
sink.) cot already to begin agin. He
had jist got bis mouth opened, when
says Alzina Ann, ia that rapturous
way of ber'n :
"Do tell me, Sylpbina, how much
did you give for these inivea, and
where did you git 'em 7"
Then it wus Sylphina's turn to feel
as though she mast sink, for bein' so
proud sperited ; it was like pallia'
oat a sound tooth, to tell Alzina Ann
they wus borrowed.
Bat bein' so set in tryia' to do right
she would have up and told ber, but
I, feelin' sorry far her, branched off,
and asked Nathea if be lived out to
vote Republican, or Democrat, cr
Greenback. So we bad no blessin'
asked, after all, that day.
Sybblna sighed, and went to por
in' out the tea.
Xathen brightened up, and said,
if things turned out with him as be
hoped they would the comin' fall, he
calculated to vote for old Peter Coo
per. I could ee from hi? mean, Josiah
was gettin' kinder sick of Alzina Ann,
and (though I hain't got a jealous
hair in my foretop) 1 didn't care a
mite if be wus, but, truly, werse wus
to come.
After supper Josiah and me wus a
settin' in the spare room close to the
inder, a-Iookin' through Svlphina's
album, when we heerd Alzina Ana
and Svlphina, out under the winder,
a-lookin' at Sylphina's epeary bed,
and Alzina Ana was a-talkia' and
says sbe :
"How pleasant it ia here, to your
house, Sylphina, perfectly beautiful !
Seein' we are both each friends to
her, I feel free to tell you what a
awful state I find Josiah Allen's wife's
bouse in.
Xot a mi.e ot carpet on her sittin'
room floor, and nothin' gives a room
such a awful look as that Sbe said
it was up to mend, bat, between yoa
and me, I don't believe a word of it
believe it was up for some other
purpose. And tne curtains wus down
ia my room, and I bad to Sieep all
the first night in that condition, I
might jist as well of sot up, it looked
so.
And when sbe got 'em up the next
mornin', they wasn't nothin' but plaia
white muslin. I should think she
could afford sum thin' a little more de
cent than that for ber spare room.
And sbe hadn't mite cf fruit cake
in the bouse, only two kinds ot com
monJookia' cake. Sbe said Josiah
forgot to give ber my letter, and sbe
didn't git word I wa comin' till the
day I got there, but between yoa and
me, I never believed that for a minit
I believe they got up that story be
tween them to excuse it off, things
lookin' so.
If
band of hero, is a mystery to me, un
less she is growia' foolish. He was
always a poor, insignificant lookin'
creeter; but now be is the humbliest
and raeakenest lookin' creeter I ever
seen in human shape. And be looks
as old as granfatber Richerson, every
mite as old, and bo is most DO. And
he is vain as a pea ben."
I just glanced around at Josiah,
and then, intentively, 1 looked away
again.
His countenance was perfectly aw-
tul. truly, the higher we are up the
harder it hurts us to to fall down.
Bein' lifted up on such a height of
vanity and vaia glory, and fallen
down from it so sudden, it most broke
his neck, (speakin' in a poetical and
figurative way). I, myself, bavin
doubts of her all along, didn't feel
nigh so worked up and carious, it
more sort ot maddened me, it kind ot
operated ia that way on me.
And bo when sbo began agin, to
run Josiah and me down to the very
lowest notch, called us all to naught,
made out he wuzn't hardly fit to
live, and wuz most fools, and then
saying agin:
'I wouldn't say a word about them
for the world, if I waza't such a
friend to 'em.'
Then I rose right up, and stood in
the open winder, and it come up in
front of me, some like a pulpit, and
I s'pose my mean looked considera
ble like a preacher's, ween tney get
carried away with the subject, and
almost by tte side of themselves.
Alzina Ann quieted the minute she
set ber eyes on me, as much or more
than any minister ever made a con
gregation quail, and says she, in
trcmblin' tones :
'You know I do think everything
in the world cf you. You know I
shouldn't have said a word against
you, K 1 wuza t sucn a warm inena
of vours.'
Friend !' says I, in awful exeats.
'Friend, Alzina Ann Richerson, yoa
don't kao v no more about the word,
thaa if vuu tiever see a dictionary.
You don't know the true meauin' of
that word n more than a African
babe knows about slidin' down hill.'
Says I : 'The bible gives a pretty
good idea w hat it means ; it speaks
of a man lay in' down bis life for bis
friend. Dearer to bim than bis own
life. Do you s'pose such a friendship
as that, would be mistrustin' around,
a tryia' to rake op every little fault
they could lay bold of and talk 'em
over with everybody 7 Do yoa s'pose
it would creep around, under winders,
and back-bite, and slander a Josi
ah 7'
I entirely forgot, for the moment,
that she bad been a ta'.kin' about me,
for truly, abuse heaped upon my pard
ner seems ten times as hard to bear
up under, as if it was heaped upcu
me.
Josiah whispered to me :
'That is right, Samantba ! Give it
to her!' and upheld by duty, and
that dear man, I went on, and says
T .
a :
'My friend, those I love and who
love me. are sacred to me. Their
well-being and their interest are as
dear to me as my own. I love to
have others praise them, prize them
as I do ; and I should just as soon
think of goin' 'round, tryia' to rake
and scrape suthin' to say against
myself, as against them.'
Agin I paused for breath, and aein
Josiah whispered:
That is right, bamanths; give it
to her I'
Worshipin' that man as I do, his
words wus far more inspirin' and
stimalatin' to me than root beer.
Agin I went on, and says I :
Maybe it hain't exactly accordin'
to scripture ; there is sutnin' re
spectable in open enmity, in beginnin'
yoor remarks about anybody honest
ly, in this way.
(Now I detest and cespise teat man
and I am goia' to try to relieve my
mind by taikin' about bim, jist a) bad
as I caa,) and tben proceed to tear
bim to pieces in a straightforward,
mealy way.
I don t s pose such a course would
be upheld by the 'postles. Bat, as I
sav. there is a element cf boldness
- ...
and courage in it, ammouatia' almost
ta graadeur, when compared to this
kind of talk.
'I think everything in the world of
that man. I think be is jist as good
as he can be, and be hain't got a bet
ter friend ia the world thaa I am.'
And tbea go oa, and say every
thing yoa can to injure bim. by,

cross-bars, when he's goin' to rob and
pillage.
I think, Alzina Ann, u it wus in

your place, l would maze a goo a ei
fort. and trr and be as noble and
magnanimous as a pirate.'
Alzina Ann looked like a white
hollybawk, that had been withered
by an untimely frost.
Bat Sylphina looked tickled (she
hadn't forgot ber sufferens, and tbe
eafferens of Nathea Spooner). And
my Josiah looked proud and tri
umphant in mean. And he told me
in confidence, a goia' home, 'that be
bada't seea me look so good to bim, j
as I did when I stood tcere ia the j
winder, not for upwards of thirteen

A clergyman was eogtged in 187,
to give bis time for one year to a
church near Hartford for $100. He
pre&cbed twice each Sunday, attend

attended funerals, free, visited the
sick, delivered niae addresses on tem
perance, aad being handy as a paint

The result of the extra session of!
Congress is now difinitely known
Whether the adjournment co mes soon
or late, it is settled that there is to
be no change in existing laws. Tbe
Election laws will stand. Whatever
power has existed for the prevention
of fraud will still exist, and tbe laws
will be neither repealed nor emascu
lated. Tbe Army, also, will remain
under the control of a President arm
ed with all tbe constitutional powers
for tbe enforcement of the laws. Ev
ery power that President Hayes or
his predecessors has had, to employ
the Army and Navy in the suppres
sion of resistance to law, and in the
protection of civil officers ia tbe dis
charge of their duties, President
Hayes will retain to the end of bis
term. So much is settled. The con
spiracy of tbe Democrats to capture
tbe next election by force and fraud,
so far as it depended npon any change
of tbe laws, is beaten already.
The Democrats do not yet confess
a final defeat. Their backing down
from the positions taken and the
threats uttered when the extra ses
sion was made necessary, and again
at the openiag of that session, has
indeed been complete; no change
whatever has been or will be made
in the laws which they resolved ia
caucus to wipe out As to the pres
ent session, they confess defeat, but
they still declare that tber will re
new tbe contest at tbe beginning of
the regular sessioa ia December.
Bat this they could have done with
out refasing appropriations in Feb
ruary, or making an extra sessioa
necessary. Of what use has been
this long and costly session, the coun
try will ask, Wbat excuse was there
for it, if the contest could after all
have beeu postponed until the regular
meeting in December next? The
practical people of this country have
a wholsome contempt for socalled
statesmen who make desperate efforts
to do impossible things at unnecessa
ry times, thus involving great
expense and long turmoil without
any practical excuse. By adjourning
the contest, as tbe Democrats cf the
Senate have resolved that they must,
they confess that tbe public contempt
has been richly deserved.
Bat they know that a renewal of
the struggle next Winter will not
help them. Xo change in the laws
is possible even then. The Presi
dent has taught them wbat they
ought to have known from the oat-
set, that enactments cannot be defeat
ed by a nere refusal to make appro
priations. He has given them notice
that be ba all tbe power needed to
enforce tie election laws, whether
they make appropriations as the law
reqairer cr sbow themselves law
breakei by refasing. Xo repeal of
law caa be effected without his sig
nature, ne has proved that he has
all the clear!es3 of mind and fixed
ness of purpose to prevent any evil
change of laws, and it has been shown
that bis vetoes are death to the bills
at which ther are aimed. Even if
it should be found possible so to frame
an appropriation bill as to prevent
the enforcement of a law, it is clear
that he will veto any such measure.
And tbe Democrats have given proof
that tney do not dare to stop any
branch of tbe Gsvernment on such
an issue. Wbat they dare not do
to-day, they will not dare to do next
Winter. As to tte practical ends
sought by their revolutionary policy
therefore their defeat is final as welt
as complete.
It is certain, too that the contest
will cause the disputed laws to be en
forced more thoroughly than ever,
and tbe disputed powers to be em
ployed more efficient! v. For, 83 the
President well observes, these enact
ments depend for their efficiency upon
voluntary acts of the people; if citi
zens do not spply, supervisors aad
marshals will not be appointed, and
if Federal officers have not tbe cour
age to enforce laws and to demand
protection in doing so, the powers of
of the Executive cannot be used. It
is well known that there has been
great uncertainty among officials ail
over tbe South, to what extent and
under what circnmsUnces they would
be sustained. Tbe contest which
Democrats brought on has remoe1
all doubt Am pie notice has been
brought to the attention of every offi
cer of tbe United States that ia tbe
fall, fearless and faithful discharge
of bis duty, he will be backed by the
President with all tbe Army and Na
vy of the United States. The elec
tion law, though it stood oa the books.
W83 practicailyanknowa to tbe peo
ple in almost all parts of tbe country.
Men did not realize wbat they could
do under it ,and therefore, did noth
ing. Xow the law is understood in
every county in the land. Xow its
large powers for the prevention of
fraud will be called into use, as tbey
never have been before. Thus it
has come to pass that the vaia as
saults of Democrats upon laws which
they were powerless to repeal, have
made those laws far more effective
thaa ever before for the prevention
of fraud and violence.
Beaten ia every practical end
sought, the Democrats will presently
find that they have also been beaten
ia an attempt to dodge the financial
issues which divided them. To do
this with success, it was requisite
that new issues should be brought
forward, involving some tangible and
practicable action, and offering some
practical result to be attained.
Bat no such issue caa be raised
br butting bard Democratic beads
against immrvable stone walls. So
long as the President does not yield,
nothing can be done to change the
laws until after tbe next election, aad
Finally, the party has already earned
and will receive in full measure bere-
aiter tne scorn ot sincere men on
either side of tbe financial issue, by
its attempt to dodge those questions
and crowd tbem out of tbe way. It
begins to feel that contempt in tbe ac
tion ot tbe Greenback party of Ohio.
Before the Summer ends, it will find
that the fictitious issue, which it sought
to raise oy a revolutionary scneme
of coercion, has cost tbe party tbe
support of thousands of honest men,
both of bard money and of soft mon
ev beliefs. V. Y. Tribune.

Tbe Geld fur advantages through
enterprise ia the mere getting of
news is about exhausted. The great
newspapers can now all command
substantially tbe same facilities.
Generally speaking, the news oae
geta another can get if it wishes. Re
curring then, to Waterson's conceit,
it seems safe to say that in tbe next
great starre of journalism the enter
prise that now exhausts itself on cost
ly cable dispatches will go to men
who caa make a great new) feature
valuable rather from ia Btory it tells
than from the money spent ia car
rying it to yoa ; who will bay for yoa
a costly thing rather thaa challenge
your admiration merely for the mon
ey spent in tbe costly transportioa of
a thing of less moment If u most
send a Stanley to Africa and wo
may well bope that feats so brilliant
can be repeated it will send also a
Macaulay to tell bia story for bim.
Why should the besy man read
tbe history of yesterday at a greater
disadvantage than the history of a
hundred years ago 7 Yet that of a
hundred years ago baa been most
carefully collated, sifted, winnowed,
relieved of sarplasage, arranged in
proper perspective. Yoa are not
forced to read tbe official documents,
to burrow among the dry reports,
to study with minute and painstaking
care the dijn:ta membra. You are
not loaded with facta that are useless,
particulars that give no form or color
to the picture. All the waste is removed.
Thousands of pages are searched
to give yoa one, but on that one la
all you need know. A moderately
industrious man might spend bis life
time reading the authorities on which
Motley constructed the history of the
Dutch Republic, yet who speaking
of intelligent people in the mass, not
of individual investigators who
cares for the authorities 1' Who wants
anything but Motley? The greatest
of recent narrative successes has been
Green's "Short History of the Eng
lish People." Why shall not tbe
moBt enterprising journal of tbe next
decade be that which shall still em
ploy colossal capital to gather all the
news, and then crown and fructify
i expenditure by having a staff of
Greens and Froudes to tell it
This, then, I conceive, to be the
next great revolution in journalism.
We ehall not have cheaper newspa
pers, iheyaretbo cheapest tnmg
sold now, considering the cost of ma
king them. We shall not have con
tinually growing supplement upon
supplement of advertising. Individ
ual wants will seek mediums more
suitable.
Only general wants will seek tbe
wider publicity of great journals, and
these wiil be kept, br the increasing
cost, within manageable compass.
We sl.aH not have more news. Tbe
world ia ransacked for it now. Earth,
sea and air carry it to U3 from every
capital, from every people, from ev
ery continent and from every island.
We shall not have bigger newspa
pers; they are bigger now than a
busy people can read. We shall
have better newspapers ; the story
better told ; better hra:n3 employed
ia the telling; briefer papers ; paters
dealing with tbe more important of
current matters ia such style and
with such fascination that they will
command the widest interest There
will be more care and ability in se
lecting, out of myriads of things you
might tell, tbe things that the better
people want to be told, or ought to
be told. There will be greater skill
ia putting these !bing3 before tbem
in tbe most convenient and attract
ive shape. Judgment in selecting tbe
news ; genius in telling it that is
the goal for the highest journalistic
effort of the future.
In making a newspaper the heav
iest item of expense used to be the
