Of Atlanta, Geo
DR. R. A. HOOKE,
Of Chattanooga, Te:
vague and general terms, and in terms, I
think, somewhat extravagant, I'bns I hear
people say that the time is soon coming when
editing will be a much more nsefal occupation
than preaching, and that the newspaper is
going to supersede the pulpit Will the press,
then, ever take the place of books or mate
rially diminish them? I think that the press
will be to books what the ocean is to ships;
it will bear them up, it will give them a me
dium and an opportunity that they never have
had, but it will never supplant them. Allu
sion has been fitly made here to the pro
priety of introducing newspapers in oar
schools. There should not be the slightest
objection to that, but you never will take
school-books out of the wny. If you do any
thing you will do this. You will have more
and better school-books than you have now,
and newspapers to boot; bet you are never
going to have such fiat school-books as news
papers are. Our boys and girls will read
more, and gather up scraps aud fragments of
information from newspapers, but the books
will after all be the staple of instruction until
such time as the living book is the only
teacher, and that time should not be far dis
tant, for that is the right teaching. If you j —
tom from school-books to scientific works, j favobite watewsc

Take classical and general literature. There i
no newspaper circulation will ever take the i pjj j A taylor
place of these. The library has nothing to 1
tear. The book publisher has nothing to
fear. The newspaper is to be the right hand
and power to promote a wider book litera
ture in this knd, and when every single
county paper has every principal family
among its subscribers, books will follow
newspapers, and books will ever supersede
them, nor will newspapers supersede books.
And this is as it ought to be; lor the news- j
paper is to be a new force not superseding j
any old one. Will the newspaper ever be |
a substitute for the pulpit ? The pulpit will
change. It has changed. It is changing, j
but it is not losing its roof; it is not losing
its fruit. There was a time—and this is true I
of all institutions of civilization iu the
earlier periods of every community—
when the functions were performed by
fewer orgonizations. Once the pulpit was j
the home of learning; the lawyer, the doctor, j
the schoolmaster and the minister tnroughout J
the towns had all the culture, but to-day they
do not by any means have it ail their own way,
and little by little the magazine teaches some
times just as well as the pulpit, sometimes
even better, and even the newspapers are j bi tter known
coming up with matter and thought. The
scientific books arecomiDg up, and scientific
knowledge is no longer distilled from the pul
pit. The pulpit is being shut, not out, but it
is no longer its function to distribute through
out the community all or most of the knowl
edge they possess. The church is more and
more shut up to spiritual matters. Not
that it has not the liberty when it
pleases to make the applications of spiritual
truth to human life, but there are other or
ganizations and institutions to do these
things, and less and less does it devolve upon
the minister of the gospel. All the profes
sions then, instead of being in any sense
weakened or suppressed by the progress of
journalism, are to be rather strengthened—
helped, not hindered. It would be well for ! ——
those that have an over-sanguine conception i\Vlimi
of the power of journalism to consider that I I ^‘-9
it derives its power from the community it- VIRGINIA
self, and that the community is a greater 1 virvjiw
power than any institution in it ever can be.
We are apt to think of society rather as an
aggregation of individuals. We scarcely

The wate* of these special Springs either cure or
greatly relive moat cases of Scrofula, Incipient Con
sumption, Chronic Bronchitis, Chronic Laryngitis,
Chronic Pummonia, Chronic Dyspepsia, Chronic Vi-
arrho.-a, Cluonic Dysintery. They are also of great
value iu these affections which are peculiar to the fe
male conettution; and, as an appetizer, a tonic and a
general restorative, they are, perhaps, uurivalled
amongst mmeral waters.

tbe whole. The will-power of the mass, the
thought power of the mass, the energy of en
thusiasm that belongs to fhe mass, are more
than a match for any thin:. in the shape of an
organ, in tbe shape of a Look or paper. I
don’t believe, in the first place, that there is
ever to be such ai# enormous concentration of
circulation as many people think. I nave
heard sanguine publishers say there have
been 400,000 papers published weekly of this,
that, or the other magazine; why not 1,000,-
000? Why is it not possible for some great
capitalized concern to print a paper in such J^y“hT ra^ng^eralekv
manner that it may have 2,000,000 subscri- 1 and Ohio Railroad at Goshen Depot,
bers? What King on his throne would feel ! g»ui stage conch**, passing rapidly
like an editor then? Now it sounds well.
Engineers used to think that they could in
crease the speed of railway trains to even 100
miles an hour; but the resistance is in an
inverse ratio to the increase, aud engineers
have found that there is a practical
limit of speed. I don’t believe there will
ever come a time when a journal will exist
with 500,000 regular subscribers, year by
year—bona fide subscribers I mean. There
are natural limits to competition. The chan
nels of community are so divided up, that I
do not believe there will ever be such a large
circulation, but it is certainly in the power of
every journal in the country to reach the
whole man. Journals that suit tbe bassilar
man will be largely confined to the bassilar
part of the community. The speaker insisted
that nothing should go into the journal which I ;uLY u—lo
is not fit to be read by every member of the !
family to which it found access. No respect
able paper bad the right to put in matter that FCLY 13
addressed itself to the faculties that lay be
low the ears. It is the interest of journalism
that these thing* be either shut up to the few
or absolutely destroyed out of journalism.

Scene in a California Barber Shop. — Du
ring the early days of the Golden State, when
San Francisco barbers were as rough and
bold as tbe balance of creation there, the art
of shaving was in a crude state in that city,
and tfie fact that the knights of the razor
drank, gambled and tore around with the
bravest, quite naturally made them unsteady
of hand in their business; the consequence
whereof was that, after a customer had sub
mitted himself to be operated on, he usually
emerged from the ordeal looking as if he had
just been undergoing the operation of skin-
ning.
One of the festive Frisco boys at last got
tired of being continually cut and backed,
and, going into a barber's shop one day,
'hauled forth a revolver, with the remark to
a barber: “Here, you shave me, and if you
cut me this time, I’ll blow your brains out.”
“All right,” chimed tbe barber; “take your
seat.”
“Bat, I say,’’said tbe other, “ain’t yon
afraid to tackle ine under the circumstances '
I’ll khoot you, sure, if yon make a mistake.”
“Oh, don't you worry,” returned the bar
ber; “if I happen to nick you, why, I’ll just
cut your d—d throat !*'
The bloodthirsty customer wilted forth
with, and, concluding that he wouldn’t be
shaved just then, “walked off on his ear.”
A thoroughly French story reaches ns by
private letter from Alsace. The writer says:
“We have found out one very nice way of
annoying our oppiessors. Very many of the
Prussian officers have little white dogs. We
catch these little white dogs and color their
heads and shoulder* red and the hindquarters
blue, leaving a white streak in the middle.
Then we Jet the little doge go, and get around
and hear the Prussians s»eur. It makes
them very angry, indeed.” — Philadelphia
