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 although much may be done by the newspa- ; aut suniuu . r icosort wiiloe < pers in the direction of science, they will | i^t, 1873. never take the plaice of scientific treatise.

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 think of it as it is; a vital organic whole, and how much it is true that MMMUm wwiif mticj w every institution and every organization in so- | A superl Croquet Ground.

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. BEST TENSION! NO STRAIN ON T ll o Throad! FAVORITE! 1, ISAAC T. HEARD & CO..

JULY lo—lo 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 Prtxn. _ _ Rev.
