The Mission of a Newspaper-
Philadelphia Praia.
A newspaper, it it is true to its
mission, has taken the pubiic for its
client, and accepted a retainer front
the people. Kach man who jiays
for a copy has retained an advocate
and counsel in every issue upon which
the papffr assumes to speak cditoriul
ly. A paper lias no right in morals
to betray the interest of this, its cli
ent, and it should be, and We believe
is, a libel in law to charge it of its
chief editor with having sold its “sup
port and advocacy'* for the benefit of
any man or men, cause or corpora
tion, save its clieut, the public. l*ar-'
ties pass, self-intefests are but for a
day, editors tlie, changes come in
great i-sues and small,but the paperand
its public stand face to face, and the
faith the reader puts in the honesty of
tlie opinion he reads can be shaken,
no, not for a moment, save as a' pub
iic jonrral and its responsible editor
are untrue—the one to its duty to the
public and the other to his honor as a
than.
An Improbable Story.
We find the following improbable,
though romantic story in the Wotumpka
Times-Alabauiian. Who are tbo parties,
ftml where do they live, brother Smith?
A lady in Georgia, a lew days since,
behoving herself About to die, and her
friends seeing no ohatice for her recovery,
she was anxious that her husband should
marry a certain lady in the neighborhood
to whose charge alone she was willing to
entrust the care ami maternal ntJpeivi.s,on
ot her children. The weeping husband
kindly cons ntod. The lady elect and a
minister being present, ihe ceremony was
peril rmed at one *. The dying wife
being ho ovoi joyed at the event at once
gained strength and effected a npfd and
complete recovciy. That family is now
in much trouble, and tile kind offices of
the law must be ii Yoked to relievo the
po r man who is too much married.
Fixing the Year.
In ino of flic justice's court tlis
other day, in a suit of malicious
trespass in entering upon land and
removing u fence, one of tho wit
nesses asked:
Did you help build that fence?
I did.
What year was it?
Wl iell, let's see, It was the same
year my brother-in-law had his leg
broke in a wrestling match at Dear
born.
Well, what time was that?
Let's see! It was just six months
after wo found the Duggan boy
drowned in Sabin's well. Tout
was that was in eighteen hundred
and —and
Can't you remember?
Why, yes, I ought to. Let's
see. Tli. t same year wo took tho
Duggan boy out ol the well, Ty
ler's second girl started to run
away with a tin peddler ami wo
caught them just the other side of
Dearborn. I squared oft' onj the
peddler and knocked him oightocn
feet into tho bus'.ie?.
But what year was L it that you
built tho fence?
Why. tho samo year that all this
happened, or may boa year before
after. II I could talk with my
old woman a minute I could get it
exact.
flow?
—Why, i was building tho last half
of that fence when she was hooked
by a eow, and she'd hunt up the
man who owned tho beast and hit
the date square in the head.
It wiis decidod to let the exact
date romaiu in seclusion,—Detroit
Free Press.
Chewing: Gum-
Forty thounsand dollars worth of
chewing gum is gathered in the State,
of Maine every year. In Oxford
county is a man who makes it his
business to collect spruce gum. Ev
ery year he buys from seven to nine
tons. The gum is found chiefly in
the region about Umbagog lake and
about the Rangel)* lake.
Using Goats to Protect Sheep
From Doris,.—Tke farmers of Hun
derton and Somerset counties, New
Jersey, use goats to protect tlieir
sheep from dogs. Two goats can
drive away a dozen dogs, and two
are about all caoh farmer puts in
with his sheep. As soon as a dog
enters the field at night the goats
attack him, and their butting pro
pensities are too much for the ca
nine, who soon finds himself roll
ing over and over. A few repiti
tions of this treatment cau.es the
dog to quit tbe field, limping and
yelling/ Fortunately, when a dog
entered a sheep field at night the
sheep would run wildly around
and cry pitously. Since the’goats
have been used to guard them they
form in line behind the goats, and
seem to eDjoy the fun. The idea
of utilizing goat in this way came
from the west where they put
in sheep pens to drivo away the
wolves.
Four students at Wncousta,
Wis., stole a fanner's ga'e, Tho
college fqoulty condemned them
to expulsion, or tho alternative of
whatever punishment the farmer
might inflict. lie sentenced them
to chop four cords ot his wood and
deliver it to a poor widow. They
did it, to the music of a band and
the plaudits of a crowd that watched
the operation.
The Country Press-
Baltimore Sun.
Tu acknowledging kfnd utterances it is
only proper at the sauio time to
knowledge the importance of the place
which our country 6 mtemporaries hold
in th 4 field of journalism. A county pa
per properly conducted deserves the cor
dial and practical support ot the residents
of the county, arid, it may here bo sug
genteel, should be encouraged by punch
ml settlement tf jowfnnlisl 10 liabilities.
The county paper eitu no more get. along
without cash than any ntiftfr business en
terprise, aud ita editor should Le spared
the disagreeable necessity too often
forced upon him of calling on I>h
ecribers to settle up With The Sun
and the county paper on his table, the
lr.rd citizen can never miss the news.
Aud in returning the compliments ot the
season to bur friends of the press', wc may
be permitted to express the wish that
they may always raccivo the appreciation
and support tkey.so well deserve.
Why Some People Fail to
Succese-
They overlook-the small things.-
They hate no eye to business.
They hope for fortune to drop in their
laps,
'They lot their help waste ami destroy.
They litil to advertise.
They have too much outside business.
They talk politics too much.
They fail to invent or bavo new ideas.
They oicrpenny wise and ponnittoolish.
They imitate their neighbors.
They are not polite or aceommod itiug.
They think most things take too much
trouble.
They fail lo push business.
They know not the best is tlm cheapest.
They know* not the power of method.
They are illiberal nt home* enterprises.
They nftteli-1 to everytmug but ihar
own bu-ortess.
They bccoitfe rusty and los(j[ambifcion.
An Exposition Joke.
Covington Star.
One of tho latest jokes about tho
exposition is that of a young lady
who does not liyo a thousand- mrlos
from hero. She was returning
home from tho exposition on a
crowded train,and was obliged j,o
stand up uutil a polite gentlenia,-
offered her half of Ins seat, 'They
soon became agreeable companions
and were chatting sway very socia
lily, when the young lady suddenly
discovered she had lost her pocket
book. She accused tho gentloraan
of having picked her pocket. Ho
smo’.o a ghastly smile, and asked
her if her if he looked like a pick
pocket, She thought he did. He
proposed to assist her in searching
for tho lost treasure. She soon
found it upon her own person. Of
course sho was ready to a) olog'ze
to the gentleman, who had givon her
half his seat, for tho great injustice
she had done him, by accusing him
of stealing her pooketbook. It
then turned out that the gentleman
was a Methodist preacher, and was
on his way to tho south Georgia
confeionce. And then the front
curtain was rolled down upon the
bewildering scene amid tumultuous
silence,

Value Received.— The New York
Journal ct Commerce informs all inquirer
that There was a time when tho words
for value received were considered essen
tial to impart negotiability to a promisso
ry note. But the Jaw now recognizes
that this is implied from tho execution of
the instalment, uudjhof are of no value
so far as 1 lie note is concerned.
One of the presiding officers we ever
knew, says tfie New York Hun, was a

Avebaoe Wehjht or * Cottqn Bale,

Ten million acres of the public lands
were disposed ol during the year. This
makes up an are. twice tne size of Massa
chusetts. Of the ten million acres, one
half was homcsdud. Tbe rest went
mainly to corporations. Pretty good
firubbmg for one year;
