ALL AT SEA.
It u the afternoon of a duW, cloudy
dav near the end of ttctober; the carriage
in' which Eleanor Grant was seated alone
drove down to the p*er at Suthnipton at
which (he was to take a vrase! for the
United States. Upon reaching the vessel'*
deck she waa MXnewhat startled to meet
the fast pemon she expected or desired t >
aee, Philip Armstrong. Six v**r sro, when
Eleanor Grant waa twentv two. the beau
tifnl, only daughter of one of the richest
merchants in New Vork, Philip Armstrong
was a poor voumr lawyer, just beginnme
to make bis way in the profession which
has since proved a fortune to him. lbey
were ei;gtged with the full consent of
eTeir bod., their marriage-day was fixed,
and'thev would htTe been rapturously
happy hat for one cloud in their sky:
' Philip was both proud and semi tire. The
idea that he might be even suspected by
the world of baring sought the wealthy
keire*s meieenarv motive* galle-l liim
to the quick, and when he chanced to
orerhear a sneering comment on theshtvwd
thing Anustrone was doing fot himself in
making sure of the heirees he waa foohsh
enough to trmt himself in Eleanor's pres
ent* while *• II smartiug from tli thtmt.
A* ill lack would hare it, her mind was
full of matters relating to their prospective
housekeeping, and she hastened to consult
him on some point involving a considerable
outlay of money, lie forgot both bis pru
dence and hi* good-breeding. *' For Hea
ven's sake. Eleanor* he said. J don't ask
we to begin spending your money until wc
are married I It is the misery of my life
already, and I cordially wish you hail not
a jwnnv."
If Eleanor had known the annoyance
under which hi* pride was still ehafinr
•he might hare forgiven cren this; but
she did not know it, and her anger flamed
np She answered, haughtily:
M I really ask your pardon, Sir. for trou
bling you." 1 had not supposed that my
money was a consideration so much more
important to TOO than myself."
The words were scarcely ottered before
she burned to recall them, for she saw
bow be might interpret tbem. But she
was proud as well as be, and she sat silent.
ITis face turned white to the Terr lips,
lie ro-e and t <ok hit hat from the table
llis voice was hu-ky and thick.
"If sorb be yonr belief, madam." he
said. " the sooner 1 take my leave the bet
ter Allow me to wish you good evening "
She bowed coldly, but without speaking,
ami he walked out of the bouse.
After this they never met until this
evening, when they bowed to each oth r
■cross Captain Barrow's dinner table in
the cabin of the Gray Engl'. So one
would have dreamed, fiom the demeanor
of either, that they were other than (tran
gets. Elet nor looked pale, and said little
to any one—to Philip nothing. She seemed
rather weary and' indifferent, and retired
early Philip talked, though it was with
s great effort. lie did not address Eleanor,
talked sort ce with the theology
with the clergyman, and drew out one of
the raptsin*s lint stories,
as Eleanor was modi alone. Der deep
mourning dras protected her from frivolous
intrusion, snd she would sit for hours in
her favorite place on deck, reading, or look- ;
ing away over the blue waters. They bad
' now been irore than a week at sea. The
wind was favorable, and tbey were crowd
■ ing sail night and day. It seemed to Elea
nor that they were making splendid pro
gress. yet she could not nid nereclf cd a
vague feeling that something waa wrong.
The weather waa fine, but she noticed
that Captain Barrow studied tha barometer
with constant and, she thought, anxious
attention. His manner, too, usually so
hearty and free, had grown gloomy and
abstracted ; he waa nervously watchful of
every little circumstance and waa often in
apparently anxious consultation with his
officers. Something waa wrong with the
sailors too. There were whimperings and
looks of sullen discontent; and a perpetual
sound of hammering and carpenter-work
seemed to be going on in acme pai t of the
It was just before su-set of the ninth
day out. Eleancr was sitting in her usual
Elace. The captain wo standing before
is barometer, when Philip Armstrong
came by and spoke to bim. They were so
near that the could easily hear what they
raid, though ber face was turned from
tbem and ber eyes fixed on her book.
4 - Wnat does "the alas* say. captain ?"
" Set lair," replied tee other, cheerftilly.
*So far good; everyt biag seems favorable
far us. I think we stall have a quick run."
" "God grant it! ' said tbe captain, earo
eetlj.
" Tou speak with fervor. Dora much
hang on the -peed of our voyage 7"
The captain threw a quick glance ar and,
and lowered his tore as he answered.
•' Eoery thing depends upon ourspeed now.
We are running for our lives."
" What do you mean ?' demanded Philip
sternly.
" 1 mean that the tkip ha* been on fire for
three dayt."
The appalling announcement (track Phil
ip dumb. The captain went on: '• My pas
senger* had a right, perhaps, to hare known
this before; but I kept hoping we should
conquer the Ore. You see we have a
quantity of coal in ballast, and the mis
chief is there. We have battened aud
smothered it down, and if we could be
sure of keeping the air irom it I would not
be afraid for another fortnight. I hare
known a ship 20 safely into port with a fire
in her bold that had burned three weeks.
But we hare an inflammable cargo, and if
it reachee that we arc gone."
•' But surely we must meet some reset!/'
' "There ia lees chance of that, as we are
off on course cow. lam running for the
Azote*; it ia the beat we can do. With a
fair wind we may make the port of Kara]-
by the day after to-morrow. But October
wet tier ia treacherous, and the ship ia nut
worked as she ougl tto be. If any trouole
should arise, I hare ue eenidenee in my
" flow is that 7"'
Why, you see, we had a fcrer on board
in August, and I was obliged to leave
eight of my best men in ho pital at South
amptou, and replace them with anch as I
could gt t. They are a mean set, picked
up round the docks, and not to be trusted
a boat's-lcngih out of sight."
The book that Eleanor Grant was read
ing fell from her hand. Philip turned at
the sound it made, and one glance at her
white face told him eke bad beard all. lie
tbougut she was (ailing, aud sprang toward
her; but ahe re-aasqred him with a ges
ture. "Waft," she said; * I will speak
presently." When she did speak it was
steadily, almost coolly:

•' Imaginary one*; but this w evidently
real enough. Do not suppose I preteud to

"No; but you have plainly that better
courage which can overcome fear."
Both were silent for a moment. In the
mind* of both there wa* a sudden sense of
the incongruity of the situation; that iu
Mich sn awtul criia of danger they two
should attnd there talkiug cunventi-nal
platitudes to each other, barred by a com
mon memory of the pnt Irons even that
frank sympathy which, had they really
been strangers would haw drawu them
instantly together.
As quickly as possible Eleanor escaped
to the privacy ot her own room. How #hs
pavsed the next few houra she never knew;
whether ahe prayed, or thought, or slept.
he could not trll. It was pa*t midnight
when there came a tap at the door. She
ruse in-tautlv from the lierth in whicu she
was lying, dressed, and opened it. In
stead of the captain, whom she had ex
pected to see, there stood Philip Arm
strong.
'• It lis* come," he said, briefly. " Are
vou readv 1"
She slicnified her ascent. He took up
her cloak and wrapped it vvsimli about
her, drew cut her arm into bis, and led her
on deck.
There the scene was one of confusion
and terror Tbe hatches were cloely
fastened down ; but the thick sinoko burst
ing through every i rerice told of tbe fear
ful pnxrresa the fire was makiug below.
The crew, sulky ami disorvlerly, wctv get
ting out the boats, which were three in
number, two of them large and strongly
built, the other too small to be rt-allj ser
viceable now. The wind had cba"gvd aud
was blowing hard, and the fire was n-u
long in bursting its bounds. Soon tbe
ngging ww in flames, and the falling si ars
added a new souice of danger. One of
ihc-e struck the captain upon the head
ami laid turn senseleta; another, falling
endwi-e over the aide, stove the large-t ol
the boats, which filled aud immediately
sank.
At this fib disaster the crew became
unmanageable. They had been drinking,
*iiJ the ruffim element among ihem wa-.
jin the ascendant. Tbe remaining long
; boat would not now afford arte room for
all, and, swearing that the r hv were as
, cood aa any one'*, thev took possession ol
it; and. regardless of the commands of the
mate and tbe entreaties ol the passenger*,
pushed off from the burning ship.
There were notr six paasenrera, the cap
tain. tbe mate, and two seamen—in ill ten
souls—to be intrusted in one small boat.
But tbe flame* left them no choice, and
they quickly conveyed themselves to this
forlorn reitige, carrying with them the
•till insensible Morton, tbe mate,
was a faithful fellow and a good se*man;
but somehow it waa Philip Armstrong
who now became the governing force of
the party. It was be who gave orders,
and assigned to each one his place and task,
it was ne who checked tbe *ngry oath* of
the sailor* at tbe desertion ot their com
rades, and ca'med the fears ol the passen
gers. Even Eieanor, rebellious as she
might have felt at another time, accepted
bis authority, and followed hi* slightest
glance to obey it.
Alone now on the wide, pathless sea.
The aky ai>oTs was thick with clouds, the
Gray fci rlt blazing on the bonzon their
only bctcon. All night tliey drifted, and
the morning broKe gray and cold. Tbe
wind steadily increased, and before noon it
bew a gale. The sea ran so I igh that
every moment it threateucd to ingulf them.
They were drenched with the dash of 'he
waves and with the cold rain that bad
begun to fall. Tbeir mall stock cf food
wis so saturated with seu-watvr as to be
almost uneatable, and even this poor tm>r
sel they wre oblued to apportion rigidly
lest the' supply should fail.
Daya ano days went by, yet no help
came. Tbey rrew weak with hunger and
the toil of rowing. They suffered alternated
from tbe scorching sun an.t the bitter cold.
Eleanor felt that she must lave perished
out tor the watchful rate of Philip lie
took off bis own cloak to add to hers, and
his coat to wrap her half frozen feet. She
would have prevented him, but be was
stronger than she, and forced the things
upon her. Next she detected him stinting
hi* own scanty ration to increase her*.
She put It back with her hand. " No, no I"
she said, in a passionate whisper. k It is
too much. Y'ou strip yourself that I may be
arm ; you starve yourself to give me food.
You kill me with your iimitieas torsive
oess!"
'•Oh, Eleanor," he answered, clasping
tb band she extended. "it is you who
should forgive 1 Uow meanly I wronged
you! bow cruel were my petulant doubt*!"
Something like her old, bright, playful
smile broke over Eleanor's pale face as,
frankly leaving her hand in his clasp, abe
answered in the same low tone, " V. e ace
equal in poverty at last, are we not ? We
can afford to be friends now."
Philip pressed the thin hand convulsively
to bis lips ; and so, silently, the new cove
nant between them was scaled.
Will you believe me if T tell you that
these two were actually happy ? Not all
the honors of their situation could over
balance their joy in the recovered posses
sion of each other. Tiiey smiled now, and
even Jested gayly at the sufferings and no
vations that had seemed to terrible. They
excited the wonder and admiration of their
couipan.ons, who mistook for the very tub
limity of courage what was merely the
triumphant rapture of love, victorious over
time and circumstance. Nevertheless, their
situation was growing d ape-rate. Tbey
bad now been thirteen lays adrift. Their
food was exhausted; tbey bad no water
excipt such a* when the rain fell they
wrung from tbeir own gurments. Tbey
bad no longer strength to row, and they
saw no Mil. Their faces were grown gaunt
and haggard, and blistered with wind and
sun; their eyes glared red with a ghastly
fire—the terrible fever-fli* of hunger. Three
of their number tad already died—the
wounded captain, and the wile and child
of the surgeon—and for the others death
could not be far off.
Eleanor had borne up better than almost
any. 11 er seund, elastic constitution en
abled ber to endure whst stronger ones
sank under. But now sight and bearing
began to grow dim. She felt her head
reeling, ber mind firing way. What ap
palled her was that Philip began to yield
to the dreadful delirium. She called to
him, talked to him ; she drew ber drooping
bead upon his breast, and strove with
kiseea and caresses to aiouec him. Her
touch recalled for an instant bis failing
faculties. Ilis strength seemed to rally,
lie clasped bis arms around her, holding
her in a closcand passionate embrace. '• My
darling!" be whispered, "to die thus to
eetber—it ia not bard—forgive—bless—"
The momentary Bash pf energy faded ; he
swooned sway. And Eleanor, too, tank
down almost lifeless, careless of what fur
ther might happen.
A wild and frenzied scream aroused her.
She lifted ber head, and saw poor Morton
dinging his arms frantically about, laughing
and crying in a perfect delirium of joy.
* A sail! a sail!" he shrieked rather than
I shouted.
Yes, a sail at last There, not more
than a mile away, is a large vessel bearing
toward them. They hasten to raise their
little forlorn signal, which had fluttered o
long in **io- It is seen; a boat pnta off;
and in a wonderfully abort apace of time
kind arms are reached to them, kind feces
are bending over them with words of won

Rejected Communication*.
The newspaper proas of England, after
some days of painful suspense, draws
a long breath of relief. A London
solicitor brought an action against The
Echo to recover damages for the destruc
tion of ah ttcr on " Legal R. formation"
which he had sent to that journal, but
hich the editor did not accept The i
I Court held that an autnor hud a right <
to demand the return of hia rejected

applied for" them ; but an editor waa
! uuder no obligation to preserve rejected
| communications, and if he d strove I
i them as soon as they were read h could
• not l held liable for their value. Tin-
Jis common scn>e. The examination of
; volunteered mauuseripta is one of the
• -verest duties of an editor's existence,
i If to this were a>lde<l tfiedtitv of keeping
-ueh manuscripts till called for, every
; newspaper would tic obliged at once to
| enlarge its premiss aud increase its
; force. A great majority of the people
who know how to read and write—be
sides many who certainly do not know
how to write - are possessed at some
period of their lives with a morbid
impulse to contribute to the newaiupeia
The principal of tbia ia right, and if the
writers would confine themselves to tub-
Kta of general interest to the readers,
c general local new a for instance, the
publishers would feel grateful.
We remember, aays an exchange, the
case of an anonymous correspondent who
must have sent us in the course of two
yean at leust fifty articles, intended for
the editorial page, and on occasions of
public excitement used sometimes to
send two in a single day. N->t a line of
his copy ever got into print, bat be per
severed, and no d-mbt he is jiestenng
some newspaper now.
The yonug per > n* who believe tbey j
have a mi sion to write verses, tbe
women who wont to support themselves
by selling "compositions" to tbe news
papers, and the scores of people with
bees iu their bonnet* who vnht editors'
offices with ponderous essays on iiicoro
prehensible subject-", ore s'lll more srri
ous afflictions than the mere amateur
publicists. Now, more than ninety per
ceut of the articles offered for accept
ance at a newsjaper office cune from
tb- se different classes of people. Tbey
write for their own benefit, not for the
editor's. Their contributions are not
wanted ; on the contrary, they are a great
nuisanc--. We cannot nee upon what
ground an editor ia expected to expend
time and trouble takiug care of rubbish
that is left on his premises against his
wishes.
Of course there are sensible and valu
able correspondents, and it is for the
sake of the ten wise men that journalists
are content to lieur with tbe ninety fools,
and to lie at the pains soon-times'of aav
ing aud restoring a great deul of manu
script which, on one account or another,
they do not care to use. But it is well
to have it understood that this is doue 1
as a matter of courtesy, and not as a
duty, and that in the great majority of
case* it cannot be done at all. This will
perhaps seem hard to writers who have
a high opinion of the importance of i
their productions ; but their remedy is
very simple; let them buy a copying
press.
Concentrated YcxeUble*.
The general attention that baa of late
yea. a been paid to the preservation and
concentration of articles of food, contin
ues to issue in new and occasionally val
uable processes ; though many of those
put forth turn out on trial to be either
wholly weleaa, or quite impracticable
save in the bauds of such as have been
specially trained to their management
In which category the following process
for the concentration of vegetables is
(h-stiiied to fall bus yet to be determined.
The aim is to put the solid portions of
veg< tables in such a shape that they may
be readily preserved, and easily prepar
ed for use when wanted, at the some
time reducing their bulk and preserving
their flavor. The way this is attempted
in the case of potatoes will servo lor illus
tration : After being thoroughly washed,
the potatoes arc boiled until done and
their akius removed. The potato is
then divided into tine vermicniar parti
cles by mechanical means, and while in
this state the water is driveu off by ex
posure to beat. The material is left in a
condition much reaembliug rice, and iu
this shape it may be ground to flour if
desired. The extract of potatoes prepar
ed in this way cuu be used for making
a <npa and other diahes ; and by idding
boiling water, a diab in ev> ry way reaem
bliug mashed potatoes, cooked directly
from potatoes in the ordinary manner, is
obtained, but, it is aaid, of superior
flavor and quality.
WHAT HE WOULD SAT.— It is wrong to
suppose that the amiable president of the
society to prevent cruelty to auimala
wrote*the following
" If I bad a donkey a* wouldn't go
D • yon think fa wallop huu 1 No. no, no !
I'd give biin some cor a, aud cry, 'Gee 1 whoa 1
Oct up, Neddy!'"
If called upon to express the same
idea, he would write as follow* :
" If I bad an animal averse to speed,
Do you think I would whip him * No, indeed I
Id give him eorne core, aud crv, 'Proceed !
Go ou, Edward!'"

Circumstantial Evldrnee.
About twenty year* ago them was a
eaae iu one of the Eastern Sta'ea where
a man was tried, oouvicted and executed
for murder. It was kuowu that he
jept with a friend who had some money
—several hundred dollars —iu lull* whicu
luid been paid him a few days liefore.
la the night tho friend diaspp-ared;
there waa blood on the pillow uud traces
of it all the way from tho door to the
river which ran near the houae; a bloody
kerchief Itelouging to tho aus|M>cted man
was found near the river, and the marked
money was in bis jioa**i*:on. He oouid
not account for the otherV disappearance,
aud turned both red aud imle when ac
cused ol toe murder. Could uuv stronger
proof be uceded T But after tlie execu
tion the uiaaiug mau wrote to hi* pa
rents announcing his safe arrival in
California, and a* soon as he learned
what had hapiieued he explained all the
unfortunate circumstmees. He had de
termined to go to California, out kept
his intention a secret except fmm a
person ill a neighboring town who wa* to
accompany him. Before retiring on the
night of his disappearance he had ex
changed monev with hia bed-fellow
because the bifls he held were not the
kind he wished to carry. He awoke in the
night an-1 found himself bleeding st the
nose; seizing a kerchief, which lay on
the table, he wint to the river to stop
the blood. On liis way there he dropped
the kirchief, and just as he was return
ing to the house hi* intended companion
appeared and urged him to start at once
for the Pacific ciwwt. Feariug to disturb
some one he did not return to the house,
but proceeded with his friend, who fur
n shed him with list, coat and boots
ss soon as they reached his residence.
His b-d fellow slept soundly aud knew
nothing of hia departure. The expla
nation was clear, and tsubli-ihed the in

The two fellow-travelers engaged <i a
conversation which lasted a* far a* the

into a doze, from which he was presently
aroused by two pistol shots fired in the
carriage, and by feeling a wound in the

men eusued, and the would-le murderer
I wing the stronger endeavored to force
the other through the window, and
would probably have succeeded, had not
the train at that moment slackened ita

The Spaniard raised a cry of "Stop the

brought out a plana tumbler containing a

LIMESTONE AS A BUILDING MATERIAL.
—M. OmuliuH il'Hilloy, in ft recent pa
per on the subject of bail ling ■ tones,
*ays in speaking of limestones, that to
judge of their durability, it i not so
much the texture which lias to IM> taken
into account AS the condition of the lied
from which the stones were obtained.
The structure and texture of the lime
stones may vary enormously, and yet all
may be suited for luiildiug purposes,
provided the layers or strata nave not
tieen, n is very frequently the case, dis
located by geological up-heaving, where
by many of these kinds of stone become
foliated, and do not then withstand wind
and weath r for any length of time with
out crumbling to pieces.
WHAT WAS DONE.— A Buffalo paper

" Please discontinue my paper from the

the paper liocanse I do not want it, hut
to get rid of an intolerable old bore
that intrudes himself into my house re

As be asked himself this qneation, a
respectable-looking young man, with a
book under bis arm, eutered hi* office,
stood la-fore him, ami immediately ad
dressed him with a polite " good morn

courteously returned.
" I bare called on a little matter of
business, air."
•• Yea, r," said the merchant, pleas
antly.
He hoped be w e about to receive an
; order for aoine good*.
" If you are advertising now I should
like to receive your order ——."
Tbe frown returned to tbe merchant's
fsce, and be turned from bis visitor

"I sm not advertising, sir, and do
not intend to."
" You could not choose a better medi

" Times are bad, young u.an."
" The more mtaon that wu should en

" I don't leli<*ve in it, air."
" That it strange."
" Sever advertised in mv life."
"Btrauger still," thought the young
man, ss be quietly took bis leave.
As be passed the outer door be said,
| half aloud:
" Yon won't last long, old gentleman,
if yon don't advertise."
A gentleman with a rare-worn look on
bis face, who stood iu the doorway as
be pa-scd, liamiened to overhear tbe re
mark. Walking into the office, be
sal e<l:
•* Who WAS your visitor, father?"
"One of those troublesome adver
tising agent*. All nonsense throwing
j away one'* money in that way. We've
none to spare."
" Any orders this morning ? "
" So," raid the old gentleman, with a
sigh, " and vet that last lot of goods are
splendid t suppose they'll le ou our
bands nest."
Tbe sou answered not a word, but
went to bis dr-k and examined bis pri
vate bank account
Presently lie said : "It isn't much,
bat I'll do it; " then taking up bis bat
be left tbe office.
Atiout a week •'forwards tbe old mer
chant sat as usual, at his desk, more than
ever discouraged nnd anxi-ua.
" If I could only get nd of that lot of
goods," be said tobiuiaelf, "I should be
saved ;as it is, we arc ruined. I l ave
written to all my customer-, but the*
an* all supplied. I ought to have real

The office Iwiy entered, just then, with
letters from the postofficc. He ojiened

afterwards, as the bo-tler went into the

face with just force enough to make it ;
tingle and then ache. For tbe time la-ing

much hurt to retaliate at that time. An
altercation oc.-urred shortly after, how
ever, of a severe character. The hostler, ;
while tuk ug the air with the horse, be
came dissatisfied with some of Ins ways,
and gave it a blow, whereu]iou the horse
took his fore arm in its mouth, and,
holding it with a tirm gr'p lietween the
incisors, bent him over until lie lay upon j
the ground ; then, without letting go his
'hold,' picked him np again ; then dow u
ed him ; then picked liim up ; then
shook him to and fro ; theu shook him
again ; then laid him dowu and picked

witli another shake. When, nfter re-1

the poor fellow finally succeeded in ex
trionting his arm, it was severely mangled ;
with the teeth of the vicious chasti-er, I
and the aid of a surgeon was called in

of tbe shad and the manipulation is all
done in the night—generally between the
hours of nine and two. A large proper -

has given his personal attention to the |
operation* at M til's, reports that on tbe
night of May 15 he eaught forty shad,
i of which oulv three were ripe, and from
these he took 6U,u00 spawn. The tem
perature of the water ranged from 80°
to GB 3 . On the 20th he took seven ripe
sliad which produced 110.UO0 spawn.
Ou several occasions over &>O,OOO spawn
were taken in s single uight. On the

ymng -had were turned loose, and this
cloaed the ojwrwtions ou the Hudson for

was 8,335,003, from which 7,823,000 shad
were produced and turned into the river.
Three year* from this Spring th-se shad
will lie krge enough for market, and
at that time the catch in the Hudsou will

Tfco Might Editor.
The office of a morning mper during
the greater j *rt of the day it as dull and
quiet as a eehool-bonse on a Saturday
afternoon. About eleven o'clock tbe
rvfiorters generally stroll in to get their
assignment aud instructioca from ttie
city editor, whose duty it ie to look after
j load news, the court#, meetings, end
every thing relating to tbe rity and its
satuirbs. Tbe cxamnfe editor is also
•m hand toward noon, to look over the
tiles of exchanges, e-U out and prepare
whatever may be of interest, and mark
such artiaUw as should be sweo by tbe
editor iu chief, or say of his sasn-iauU.
But the real work of the office begins
about seven o'clock in the even lug, when
I tbe night editor comes on duty. Than
there ie bustle every where. In the city
editor's apartment a score of reporters
are busy at their desk*, writing oat their
notes ; the exchange editor, sehoora in
hand, pen over hia ear, and paste-pot
within easy reach, is poiing over files of
newspapers from every quarter of the
land, carefully arranged by their locali
ties. The facility of e good newspaper
reader is something astonishing. With
one glance of his eye be takes in the i
contents of a whole peg*, and with un
erring inst net always light* on the one
item, pertiape, which ie worthy of hia
aciaaors. Tbe only quiet rooms in tbe
establishment are those where tbe edito
rial writers ere at work, fashioning arti
cles on the various topics suggested by
the news.
Jbe busiest man of all ie the night
editor ob wbotfl talk the reaposri&Ut/
of receiving ard arranging the news as
it comes iu from every pert of the world.
His position is no sinecure. It ia. iu
fad, moat laborious and wearing. If fit
for it, he must be a person of extensive
and accurate information, of large intel
ligence, and quickness of judgment He
is -resixiuaibie for the whole paper.
Every line of print, except the advertis
ing columns, pasocs under hia eye. Aa
the te cgrama come in h>- glances rapid!i
over them, write* in tho proper head
line*. make a note or two, pt-rltapa, for
the benefit of the editor in chief, and
then wnda them to the composing-room
to be " act up." There t no onler in
the telegrams a* tbey arrive. Tbey are
sent from the office of the Associated
Press in envelopes containing from one
to a dozen sheets, and tbe dispatch on
each sheet may be from a different quar
ter of the world, and incomplete in itself.
The same envelope may contain news
from Washington, St. Petersburg, Paris,
London. Ban Francisco, aud China ; and
it requires experience sod skill to ar
range them properly.
Between eleven and twelve o'clock the
night editor matea np the first aide of
the paper, which, it it be on eight-page
journal, couaita of the 3d, 3d, 6th, and
7lb pages. On this aide are generally
printed moat of the advertisements, the
market and law reports, book revien,
and letters and article* of general inter
est which do not come under the bead
of neaa This done, he returns to hi*
dtk, where he aits till about half past
one, arranging dispatches, and looking
over tbe proofs of the matter be and
o'ber editors have sent up to be pat in
typo. These proofs are token on strips
of paper generally about the length of a
column. It ia now time to commence
malting op the second aide—the lit, 44b,
sth, ami Bth page*. He gal hen bia
proof* together, liking iu their oo tent
with a rapid glance, and mentally decid.
ing on their arrangement. He thinks to
himwlf, perhaps, " Thia new* from Paris
ia the moat important; it mnt lead the
paper with a hig display head. Tbi*
will make a boat two columns and a half.
I will lead the fourth col am u with the
great Pitt-ton disaster, with a display
he id. Waahingto • new* is unimportant,
ami may go on the la-d oolumn, or, per
haps, on the tilth page." And MI be
go-* on "making up" aa he gUooea;
through the matter, so that I Wore be
goee to the eompwung-room he ha* the
amngsmeot of the whole paper clearly
in hit mind. Telegrams are pel-hope
still pooling in ; bat these are rapidly
arranged by an aw-istant, and sent np to
th*- composing-room.
It i* in making up that the necessity
of a clear hen) and quirk judgment u
moat evident. Dispatches that must be
r luted together may be scattered over
ilf a d iKi-n proofs, and places most tie
ie-enred in the forma for others not yet
in type. Tbe foreman and li a? aistanta
make op all the at once, plicing
the matter aa the night editor directs
When there ia too much, he i* obliged
to cat down or omit what is least impor
tant Ail this occupies lees than an
hoar. By half past two tbe pages mu-t
be ready to be stereotyped, and by a little
after three they must be lowered into
the prose-room * The weary night editor
goo* home, tarns into bed, and lets
newspapers alide for the next seven or
eight botira.
Such ia tbe roatioe of a night editor's
life. Wearisome aa it may aem to out
siders, it has a charm and attraction for
the genuine editor which never wear off.
The oouatant variety, the excitement,
the responsibility, keen tin- mind con
tinually exhilarated and on the stretch ;
and few night editors ever settle con
tentedly into more quiet pursuits.
Mlecp, Fainting, A|* pVxi.
When a man ia asleep, his pulse beats
and his lunga play, but he is widiout
sense, and you can wake him up.
If a person faints, he, too, is without
sense, but he boa no pulse and does not
! breathe.
Apoplexy is between the two; the heart
beats, the lungs plav aa in deep, and
there is no sense as in fainting, but you
ewnnot shake tbe miui tack to life.
In sleep, the face is natural; in •
fainting fit, it haa the pallor of death :
ui| apoplexy, it ia swolleu, tuigid, and
' fairlv Uved.
If' a man is asleep let him alnue ;
nature will wake him up as soon aa be
haa got sleep enough.
WVD a person fuint, all that ia need
ed ia to lay him down fiat on the floor
and he will '* come to" iu double quick
time. He fainted because the heart
unused a beat, failed for an instant, fail-d
for only once to send the amount of
blood to the brain. If you place the pa
tie ut in a horiaoutttl position, lay him on
his tack, it does not require much force
of the heart to scud blood on a level to
the head ; but you aet a man up, the
blood has to be shot upward to the head,
and this requiiea much more force ;
yet in nine cases out of ten, if a person
faints and falls to the floor, the first
done ia to run to hiin and aet him in a
obair.
In apoplexy, aa there is too muci
blood iu the head, every one can see
that tbe best position is to set a man
up, aud the blood naturally tends dawn
wanl, as much ao aa water will come out
of a tattle when turned upside down, if
the cork is out.

mile from the village, on the road to
North Amherst. The total value of the
College real estate a 5196,5U>. The
total value of e*ock. implements, and
produce at the beginning of this year
waa *15,00. The Legislature at the
lmt session, voted the College 115' V
000, and it now baa a cash fund ot
a quarter of a million, and as much
more invested in good securities. The
College is in oharge of a Board of Tro*
tees elected by the Legislature, and the
ttaerd of Overseen is the Bute Board of
Agriculture. The claim is to give a
thorough education in all the branches
of farming, and enough general know!
e>lgt< to enable the fannc r to tube that
position in the community which be
ought to have. There are at present
right acres ot oats, eighteen of millet,
-U'eeu of oorn, three of potatoes, one of
fodder com, one of turnip*, two of gar
den vegetables and five of sugar beets,
under cultivation on the farm, llneh
attention u being paid to the raising ot
beet, in, view of manufacturing sugar
from them, which is ao sucvowduuy dome
in Europe. It is proposed to exvet a
refinery soon, ao that very careful exper
iment- can be audc in this branch of
American iudustiy. There have b*eu
daring the year one handled end forty
even frtU'ient* in college, divided into
four regular classes and one class of
special course men. All erf these students
hare been subject to military drill and
instruction. A fine collection of stock
is kept on the farm, which it is hoped
will do much to improve the neigh boring
rattle. This includes Shorthorns, De
von*, Avrriurea, Jerseys, Southdown
sheep, Suffolk and Cheater swine
An Indiana paper is rosponailJe far the
following BUVJ :An ki nitu 65 ymn of
use nusel George Stents, who wss the
jinitor of Chid Fellows' Hsll at Imluua
spdn, and has had charge of the private
books and work, as well as keys, for tome
tune past, has been under the domina
tion of a woman name JPillbera, who ac
quired a fearful influence over him, and
prevailed upon him to let her sitnea*
three initiations in Odd Fellowship while
she eras concealed from view. There it
i a room adjoining the main hall of the
Odd Fellows' building designed for the
reception n# an organ, pending which it
was eurtaiued, having been in this con
dition for some time. Entrance to this
room can only he obtained frrm the out
•odc, sad thereto Mrs. P. was sdmitted
iby the janitor upon several diflerent
night* and witnessed three, if not five,
initiations. She was supplied with the
private books and work of the order,
keys to the rooms, and one of the stools
of the iTcampm* nt. These articles were
taken from her a few days since by the
Chief of Police. It is said the janitor
instructed her in three degrees of
Masonrv. She makes her boast that she
' is an Odd Fellow and a Freemason, ami
has given evidence that she knows more
than ahe ought to alwut Odd Fellowship.
Now for the rosso* for her seeking that
which heretofore to women has been s
sealed book For some time past the
janitor has paid 612 per month for the
rent of the woman's house. She wanted
more money, and demanded 61,000.
; This was refused, when ahe asked fur
55.10 and a mortgage on one of the jani
tor's houses. This was also refused, when
ahe told what she had seen and heard.
The janitor was tried before a committee
of Odd Felluwa and expelled from the
order. He was defsuded by Hon. Wil
liam Wallace. He is now reported as
keeping closely to his house.
