Ilezeldah Jones, Editor of the Flap doodle. Draws a- Few Sketches from Nature. Thecffitorofthe Evening Flapdoodle sfit in his sanctum tlie other morning, just liei'oie beginning his day's work, and thought lie had brought his paper about as near perfection as possible for an ordinary-sized .town close to a half dozen big cities, and he was won lei ing how he might further im prove it. when his cogitations were in terrupted by an acquaintance coining in. •• Hello, Mr. Scissors,” he facetiously said, “ writhing up editorials with the 'hears, eh ?” The editor tried to smile at the old joke, and the visitor went on. “ I tell on what it is, Jones, you have a pretty good paper, but what do you want in a town like this with long editorials? Give us short ones. You can’t mold public sentiment, you must simply echo it.” Then he left, and Jones told his associate not to write any long editorials that day. as he proposed, for once, to make the Flapdoodle just to suit every subscriber who wanted a change. In a half hour along came a wicked fellow who talked newspaper a long while, and then said he didn’t see any use of Sunday reading, nor any other religious matter in a paper, and if it was libs he would bounce it all. The editor said nothing, but when the man went away he told his Sunday editor not to send any matter for that, lay. Then Jones rested and thought for a few minutes, and a pious old party dropped in. As he knew a good deal about the business in its moral aspect, he talked along, and at last said that no newspaper could be decent which admitted to its columns any sensational matter, any advertisement other than the most high-toned, an.y slangy squibs, or anything which could not be read without a blush by the most capriciously fastidious. Jones was silent, but later he went and ordered all that matter set aside. So far, Jones thought he was getting things to suit pretty well, and then another man came in,,and like the others, knew all about the business of editing a paper. lie was a city politi cian, and said, “Mr. Jones, you don’t have enough polities. Why don’t you thrrrw out the*e farm notes, and kitchen receipts, and odds and ends Mold nows, and telegraphic brevities which we get in the other papers and give us politics? That’s what the children cry for.” Again was Jones silent and later gave orders for the ex pulsion of all this objectionable matter and waited for the next one. lie came pretty soon, and fie had a eoflin for a coat and a shroud for a handkerchief, and he smelt like the dust which blows off of a skeleton. Said he, “Jones, I like your paper, but what do you run that funny business in it for ? It's silly, stale, and flatter than last year's ale with the bottle left open. What does a man want to laugh for anyhow? This is a vale of tears and we should always remember that in the un certainty of life death may cut us off with an idle laugh upon our lips.” “That’s so,” groaned Jones. “I'll cut every line of fun right out,” and off he hurried and out went all the funny business. As lie went home at noon lie met a lady who said she didn’t see what the? wanted to Qll a paper full of politics for, because nobody read that. “ Don't they ?” said Jones, "then out she goes,” and when he got hack it all went out. “ I'm bound to please ’em all” said -the editor, “If 1 have to buy anew office.” Right after dinner a man of business proclivities came in and said lie didn’t sec any use of “these silly little personals and them short local items that didn’t amount to anything anyway.” Tf it was his paper he would have some thing of a higher nature or let the place go bare. Jones listened and told the foreman to whack out all that sort of stijff at once. Then he felt easier, till a lot of pretty girls came in, and, after making a purchase, asked him what a newspaper was filled full of advertise ments for ; nobody ever read them, and one said she was going to stop taking the paper if lie was going to fill it up Jhat way. Jones told the young lady he would have a paper to suit every one, or rather made after the sugges tions of every one. and he hoped she would not find fault. Then lie went and ordered out every ‘ ad.’ and smack and smooth, and waited for the next man. He came along pretty soon, and said he could stanch anything but poetry, and that was his abomination in a newspaper, and it never ought to encounter the columns of a local journal, because it was meant for magazines, and that sort of papers. Jones took it in and went out and or dered all his fine poetry knocked down. Then he waited again, and a woman came in, and said the fashion notes were no good, because the magazines had them all in greater quantity, and another thing she didn’t like, was the markets. “AY hat good was them?” she said. “ I don’t know,” he replied, “so I’ll throw ’em out. ’ “ I hope you will,” she answered, and went awav. In ten minutes the markets and fashions were on the standing galley. Jones began to look around, and as he was studying, a small boy said to him that “ marriage and deatli notices was \ mighty thin read in’,” and Jones slung [ them clear out into the corner. After | this change lie wentover inUi the count- ing room, and an old man was there waiting to pay his subscription. “ It's a good paper, Jones, but in this place you only want to take notice of local affairs, and let all the miscellaneous and general business go,” and—-then Jones gave the old fellow a receipt and rusbe 1 back and took out all the miscellaneous and general matter that was left, and as lie took out the last handful a Fiend came through the office and critically examining his surroundings, said, “The Flapdoodle is a good paper, Jones, but I do think you have the ugliest head on it I ever saw. Why don’t you change it? I’m certain 1 never would let such ahead appear on a paper of mine.” “All right.” said Johor, and off came the head. “Now, Mr. Foreman,” he con tinued, “ lock up the forms and send them down tc the prc>s room.” The forms were duly looked aud wentdown. and the paper came out and was dis tributed as usual. The next morning, the politician, and the solemn man, the friend, the school girl, the woman, the small boy, and all the rest of them were standing around the Flap doodle office with blank sheets of paper in their hands ; not a line, not a word, not a sign of anything on it but column rules, with nothing between. *' How is this?” said each to the other. •• and where’s that fool editor, to impose on us in this way ?” While they were thus talking, the devil came in with a letter from thee litor, which the old man read to the crowd. It ran as follows : “ Dear friends, you all think you know how to run a newspaper, and when you come to me with your sugges tions I hate to tell you differently, so 1 have followed your advice and you see what you have as the result. If von will be kind enough to mind your own business half as well as I do mine, and try to think I know a little some thing, while you don’t know it all, I will give you a good newspaper, and wl enever I don’t give you your money’s W( rtb, then come and tell me so, but don't come telling me how I should do my work, when I have devoted years to it, and you have never given it an hour’s study. “ lain yours truly. “ llezekiau Jones, “ Editor Flapdoodle .” Then these good people looked at their blank paper and their blank faces, and not one said a word except the profane man, who remarked, “ Damme, the editor is right; let’s go and mind our own business,” and Jones crept out from behind the counter, and that evening issued a tip-top paper, chuck full of ail sorts of personal and local items, and news, and everything, and there was peace in that town for the space of a long time. A Physicians Advice of How'to Gain Health. Harrisburg, Pa.. March 30. 1881. Nothing is more charming and at tractive than a thoroughly healthy, perfectly formed woman ; a bright eyed, rosy, laughing, joyous, happy faced girl, one who finds keen pleasure in merely living. An invalid wife or mother is a constant object of svmpa thy in an otherwise contented house hold. Happy the home whose women folks enjoy perfect health. In my practice I have always recommended sickly women to use Brown’s Iron Bit ters. In case of irregularities, dys pepsia, indigestion, heartburn, nausea, sour stomach, nervousness and ex haustive debility, I find it exceeds all other remedies as a true medicinal tonic. It never fails to gently soothe, refresh and strengthen the general system, and especially those parts made weak by continued distress : and what satisfies me most is, that the cures, altogether in some instances gradual, arc always permanent. —M. D. Tho Decendants of the Bounty Mu tineers. The story of the mutineres on the ship Bounty, who settled ou Pitcairn Island in 17U0, is one familiar to ever)* school-boy, but interest in the tale has been revived in San Fran cisco by the’arrival there of Daniel McCoy, who is a grandson of one of the mutineers, and lias lived on Pit cairn Island all his days. Being seen by a reporter, McCoy stated that the community which be has just left is a model one in point of morality, and that the general condition of the in- habitants is good. No liquor is al lowed on the island, and the religion of the community is the Episcopal. At present there are but ninety six persons there, but on Norfork Island there is a popnlation of 700, the pro duct of an emigration from Pitcairn in 1856. About one half the laud on the island is cultivated, and the crops of grain, vegetables and semi-tropical fruits, together with the poultry and goats raised by the islanders, supply them with an abundance of whole some food. They have no horses nor cattle. The inhabitants are simple in their tastes, correct in their relations, industrious, frugal and religious. Their chief recreation is singing. They observe Sunday with great strictness, and never indulge in gam ing. card playing, or dancing. An O’d Lady writes us : “I am G 5 years old and was feeble and nervous all the time, when I bought a bottle of Parker’s Ginger Tonic. I have used a little more than one bottle and feel as well as at 30, and am sure that hun dreds need just such a medicine.” Sec advertisement. Who Punches the Coins? THE AMOUNT REALIZED FROM TIIE BORING PROCESS. A reporter asked James N. Samson, the veteran detective employed at the sub-treasurv. to what the government detectives attributed the sudden in crease in the number of clipped and punched coins, which has attracted so much attention of late. Mr. Samson said it was perfectly well known that nine-tent tis of the punching was done in this city by Cubans. A number of silver e< ins were clam ped together in a roll, and, in less time than it takes to write an account "f it, a hole is drilled through the lot. The value of the silver obtained by punching a hole of usual size in a coin amounts to about one twenty fifth of the value of the coins, so that every roll of twenty five quarter dollars, the value of one quarter dollar is obtained in a moment by running a drill t hrough the roll. Air. Samson says, also, that many of the punched coins come from .Mexico and South America, where our silver coins circulate freely, and rarely escape mutilation. Several attempts have been made ol late yeais to break up the systematic punching of cons but with little suc cess. Only two convictions for the offense have been made in ten years. Mr. Samson remarked that while the business of punching and filling coins was almost wholly in the hands of the Cubans, the business of sweating gold coins by shaking them up in a buck skin bag is attributed by the detectives to the denizens of Chatham street. By shaking a bag containing 1,000 eagles for three hours the result in gold dust will be worth S2O. Air. Floyd, the chief clerk of the assay office, said that the government rules relating to light weight gold coins were defective and tended to keep such coins in circulation. When a gold coin loss than twenty years old is abraded to more than one-half per cent, of its value it is stamped with an ‘L’ at the sub treasury and returned to whoever offers it, instead of being sent to the mint. The object is to force the holder to take it to the assay office or mint to be sold at its real value, instead of which it goes into circulation again. The trouble is that Congress has never made any provision for redeem ing mutilated or even abraded coin. Many persons think that all pieces that have been worn down beyond recognition in actual service should be redeemed at par. The difficulty is to tell when a piece ha3 been worn smooth through use, or brought to that condition by sweating or other arti ficial means. Mr. Floyd considers that the mutilation of silver coin does not need government interference, because unlike the abrasion of gold, the muti lation of silver coin can be detected at once, and it rests with the govern ment to drive such coins out of circula tion. — New York Evening Post.

At a recent mceti ng of the Engineers’ Club, of Philadelphia, the secretary read a detailed description of the mov ing of the Hotel Pelham, at Tremont and Bcylston streets, Boston, for the purpose of widening Tremont street. This hotel is built of freestone and brick, 9G and G 9 feet frontage. The Boylston street wall is supported on eight granite columns 12 feet high, 3 and 4 feet square. There is a basement and seven stories above the sidewalk. Height above tramways on which it was moved, 9G feet. Weight, 5,000 tons, exclusive of furniture, which was not disturbed during removal, as also were not the occupants of the stores on first floor and some of the rooms, the various pipe connections being kept up with flexible tubes. Careful experiments with models showed that if the lower part of the building was firmly braced, there was no danger of shifting in the parts above. The general arrangements consisted of heavy and substantial stone and brick foundations for iron rails and rollers, and the building was forced to its flew position by fif y-six screws, 2 inches diameter, half inch pitch, operated by hand against timbers arranged to uniformly distribute the pressure against the building. Much care and ingenuity was displayed in the details of the arrangements and work. Two months and twenty days were occupied in preparation. The moving itself was begun on August 21, and finished on August 25, but the actual time of mov ing was but 13 hours and 40 minutes. The greatest speed was two inches in four minutes. The hotel moved about one eighth of an inch at each quarter turn of the screws. The whole dis tance moved was 13 feet 10 inches. Four thousand three hundred and fifty one days’ labor was required for the work. The whole cost was about $30,000. This is the largest building that has ever been removed, although larger have been raised, which latter is a much simpler and less risky opera tion. The complete success of this undertaking is shown by the fact that cracks which existed in the walls prior to removal were not changed by the operation. Paper was pasted over them before commencing, that an}' change might be seen. Warner’s Safe Kidney and Liver Cure. S TERMS, $1.50 PER ANNUM. ) SI.OO for Six Months. How He Got In. The other night a young man from northern Arkansas and a young lady from the southern part of the State, met at a hotel in this city and were married. After the ceremony the young man went out and sat in front of the hotel while his wife went up to the room assigned as the bridal cham ber. “This thing of getlin’ married is a lifetime business,” he said, address ing a man who had just been divorced from his wife. “ I regon you have found it so,” he added, turning to a single man. “ Wall, I regon I'll go up.

Let me in.” “Go awav from that door; you shan’t come in hero. 1 ain't got ac quainted witli you yet.” “ Say, let me in. Them fellers down stairs are laughin’ at me. Open the door, fur I'm sleepy and he yawned like a man waiting for a night train. “Thought you said that yon were wide awake.” *• I was awhile ago, hut I’m power ful sleepy now. Ain’t yon goin’ to open this door?” “ No, I ain’t.” ,’ Why did yon marry’ me?” ” Cause I wanted to.” “ Wall, why don’t you let me in?” “ Cause I don’t want to. * “All right, old gal; I’ll shell out fur home and leave you to pay the hotel bill. I never seed the woman that could pull the wool over iny eyes.” The latch clicked and the door open ed. The hotel bill had frightened her. “ It won’t do fur a woman to buck agin me. Icmme tell you, fur I was rriied at the cross-roads an’ went to m 11 early'.” —Little Rock Gazett. Mr. Walter F. Adams, of Westboro, Mass., writes: ‘‘For years I suffered the horrors of dyspepsia and indiges tion. They seemed to weaken every organ of life, and completely shattered my nervous system. At night when I lay down I felt I could not live until morning. Heartburn pained me most terribly’. I tried Brown's Iron Bitters ; it suited ray ease precisely; and now ray stomach digests any kind of food, and my sallow complexion and other symtoms of ill health are all gone, and at night I enjoy most refreshing dream less slumber.” The Two Suits Into Which Two Governors Get Themselves. Yesterday the Willimnnticcompany did some work against time in which the old father was vanquished. One of the features of the day's doings was to be the making of the two suits of clothes from the seed cotton. Bright and early a number of people went out to the grounds to.see the process. A little after sunrise a few individuals on hand for the occasion, stepped into one of the patches on the grounds and almost in a twinkling the cottoq was picked and ginned. Attwenty minutes to 7it started on its way. Entering first the Kitson picker, at 7 o’clock, it went to the Foss & Pevey cards; thence to the railway head, built by the Lowell machine company. Then it ra pidly found its way to the speeder built by the City machine company, of Providence. From there it went to the Fails & Jenks frame, and was soon what the observer was ready to pro nounce thread. This was taken to a Crompton loom and the process of weaving commenced. The crowd that had watched the course of the cotton as it passed from stage to stage grew until the aisles were blocked up. Every body wanted to see the work going on. As soon a3 the cloth emerged from the loom it was taken to the dye house of N. Spencer Thomas, and died. As soon as it was dried it was taken to the Wheeler & Wilson exhibit, where the suits were cut out—one for Gov ernor Colquitt and one for Governor Bigelow. The silk which had been furnished by Clteney Brothers, and which was of American manufacture, was ready. The making of the suits wa3 commenced. The cutting was done by Atlanta's favorite tailor, Mr. Grossc. whose taste and ability guaran teed perfection in his department of the work. The button-holes were made at the rate of two a minuto by 11. L. Phelps, of New York, on the National machine company’s button hole machine. As tho day closed tho suits came completed from the hands of the tailors, and in the evening the governors wore handsome black suits, made from cotton that at sunrise bangled, dewgemmed, from the stalks. So much for fast machinery. Two Irishmen, fresh from the old country, where they have no such var mints, were bothered mightily one night by the incessant attacks of tho mosquitos. They lay on the bed and lit the lamp, which they found attract ed additional hosts of the enemy. Putting out the light they crept under the bed, thinking they might get a re spite here.
