AMERICA’S NEWSPAPERS.1
A nil-slim View of the Wonder-
ful Influence (Iflliu Press In the
United States.

wilifind the newspaper occupying the
most conspicuous places. The presem
writer has visited the different States of
New England. the \Vestern agricultural
States. the Pacific States of gold and
silver. the Southern States of cotton and
tobacco. of lemons and oranges. and he
could not help noticing everywhere the
Yankees‘ love of reading.
The newspaper has become a daily no-
cnssily of the Americans. “What
paper do you hike ?“ is one of the ques-
tions often heard there. If one should
answer that he took no paper. he would
be taken for an ignorant emigrant. The
f-‘reigner who visits New York citv for
the first time might suppose that the sole
employment of its inhabitants related
to newspapers. Some collect the news
and write the articles. others print the
ncwspupers. a third set sells them and
the rest of the people read them.
In the United States the number of
periodicals has increased in a greater rav
tio than the population. In the Revolu-
tionary year 1778 there were in the thir-
teen original States 37 periodicals all
told. and as the population than num-
bered a little nvcr three million. there
was one periodical for every 81.000 in-
habitants. Now there are in the United
States over fifty millions of inhabitants.
according to the census of 1880. and the
numbcr nf periodicals has risen to the
enormous figure of 9.79:! So we see
that in that country there is now
one periodical for every 4.128 per-
sons. This shows that the Ameriv
cans of to-lhiy. who hilt recently
cclehrat 1d the centenary of their indo-
pendence. rend twenty times as much as
did their Revolutionary ancestors who
fought for and won inilepend-nce. As
far nsthc number of newspapers and
magazines is concerned. America s11r~
passes fill other c'~11ntries. In fact. the
United States puts forth more than half
of the total number of periodicals pub-
lished in the world.
Of all pcriodicnls the weeklics are the
most numerous. There lire 7.500 of
them. This fact is very gratifying for it
shows that in the New World the farm-
ers and worliinrznien, who are the prin-
cipal subscribers for the weeklies. are
readers. while in the Old \V—orld they are
hardly able to rend at 11111. In New York.
Philadelphia. Boston. Chicago. St. Louis.
San Francisco. and some other large
cities even the workinsmen read the
dailies. for there are papers published
which the poorest man can buy.
There are 868 monthlv magazines. and
8451 daily newspapers. These are read by
the Yankees of the large cities. who in
[hair love of news. surpass even the
citizens of ancient Athens.
In regard to the circulation of the
periodicals it may be stated that there
are three and a half million subscribers
for the dailies. over fifteen million sub-
scrilwrs for the weekliesJonr and a half
million subscribers for the monthly
magazines. and about 700.000 subscrib-
ers for other journals and .magazlncs.
Therefore almost half of all the inhabi-
tants of the United States are regular
subscribers for different journals and
magazines. It is believed that each
copy is read by at. least three persons.
therefore there must be si‘Vi-ilty-flve
million readers: in other words. there
are millions of Anicricsns who regularly
read more than 111111 perimlical. N0 0th-
" countrv in the world presents tiny-
thing to equal that. Tho lmplrtlal
figures force us to admit that the Ameri-
cans read :1 great. deal more than any
other nation in the world. Horace Grec-
ley. the most honest of statisticians. af-
firmed that in his country three quar-
ters of all the families took some jour-
nal or magazine. That accounts for the
enormous figures which are given in the
American newspaper directory. The
Sun. it is shown has a circulation of
140.000 every day. which exceeds that of
anyother paper in the United States.
Four papers haves daily circulation of
50.000: twelve of over 95.000.
Every religion and religions sect. ov‘
cry science and art. every branch of in‘
dustry. trails and finance. every
public and private institution. and socie-
ties of every possible kind have their
own paper. There are 431 religious ps-
psrs. and 538 papers in foreign iaugua~
The Americans value their periodicals
very highly. They regard the newspa-
per asths tongmI of the nation and of
the age. It is the speech of masses and
It is the school of Ameri-
can manhood. It is the people‘s univer-
sity. It places its reader in the parlia-
ment of the world. and thus makes him
a cltllen of the world. The Americans
live. work and think through the news-
paper. Among the editors and contri-
butors of all kinds there is included a
large proportion of the talent of the
Union.

Americans warmly love their press.

liberally support it. While he was Presi-

There are no special laws applying to
newspapers in the Union. All offenses
committed through the press are tried
under the common law. 0f court-e there
is no other censor than the editor. whose
supervision. however. is very energetic
and stringent. '
It is calculated that the Yankees an-
nually spend $26,000.000 for newspapers
alone! That is nearly equal to all of
Russia's State expenses for pubhc in-
struction. courts. means of communica-
tion, and the imperial court combined.
It surpasses the entire State expenses of
each of these countries: Sweden.
Switzerland. Greece. Denmark and Por-
tugal.
Tile American newspapers aim to give
their readers the latest news of every
kind. and therefore the stafl of reporters
is a strong point. 011 reading the
American journals one comes naturally
to conclusion that they are offered to an
intelligent public. The American jour-
nals of to-day are modelled to a great
extent after the Sun which has made a
veritable revolution in the the Ameri-
can press.
It is of great interest to compare the
Americas press with the Russian press.
i‘ilough the population of Russia is
double that of the United States. yet
Russiahas only 008 periodicals against
the 9,723 of the United States. In other
words. America has sixteen times as
many periodicals as Russia. The State
of New York alone has twice as many
iwrlodiculs as the whole dominion of the
Czar. In Russia there is one periodical
to every 1.30.000 inhabitants. and in the
the United States one for every 5,000.
Therefore it requires thirty times more
Russians than Americans to support a
newspaper. The demand for the news-
paper indicates a certain degree of edu-
onion and \VE‘lllll: hence it is necessary
to admit that the Yankees are thirty
times more educated and wealthy
than the Russians. The comparison
looks still more interesting in view of
the fact that two Americans recently
celebrated the one hundretii anniversary
of their nation's birth. while the Bus
sinus have already celebrated their one
thousandth ii'uilversnt'y.

The Earth Drying Up.
There is abundant evidence that the
amount of water on the surface of the
earth has been steadily diminishing for
for many thousand years. No one
doubts that there was a time when the
Caspian Sea communicated with the
Black Sea. and whcnthe Mediterranean
covered the greater part of the Desert of
Sahara. In fact. geologists tell us that
at one period the whole of titanium was
covered by water. and the facts that
continents of dry land now exist is proof
that there is less water on our globe now
than there was in infancy. This dimin-
ution of our supply of water is going on
at the present day at a rate so rapidly as
to be clearly appreciable. The rivers
and smaller streams of our Atlantic
States are visibly smaller than they
were 135 years ago. Country brooks in
which men now living used to fish and

queuce of the failure of the springs

There are many piers on the shores
of lakeside cities. which vessels up

A Wedding Journey;
MARRIED ON Tncssmv. BURNID 'ro
DEATH ON FRIDAY.
(Buffalo (31. Y.) Courier.)
On Thursday evening at 8 o‘clock the
train from Boston via the Fltchburg
railroad. pass through the Hoosac tun-
nel, stopped just beyond North Adams.
where the writer. almost'the sole Occu-
pant of the coach “Rosedale,” bound for
St. Louis via Buffalo, stopped from the
train. escorted by the polite conductor.
to take a solitary "five minutes" supper.
A great commotion was owerved in the
station. and the girl behind the lunch
counter hastened to tell the canductcl
that a wedding party was about to take
his train. With true feminine curiosity
we burned our mouth with acupcf bit-
ter, boiling tea and returned in haste to
the coach just in time to see enter a pret-
ty. blushing bride of nineteen. followed
by her handsome. young husband, who
did not look to be over twenty. After
them came a stout, gray-haired Benton
who, as the officiating clergyman, evi-
dently deemed his duties not complete
until he had seen his young charge ssfe~
ly started on their wedding journey.
He was in danger of being trampled up-
on by a gay crowd of flue young fellows
at his heels. whose overcoats did not con-
ceal their satin ties and wedding fav-
ors. They were the ushers, and best
man. Depositing their sachets and bags
—of unmistakable newness—the bride
nestled into a corner, loosened her seal-
skin. studied oer bridal bouquet, and
then tossing back her feathers. exclaim-
ed, with a little sigh of satisfaction:
"Didn‘t it go off beautifully!“
The clergyman. smiling upon her
benignantly. said: "Yes. but that's
what they all say, dear!“
“O. Iknow it‘s an old story to you.
sir. but we have never been married be-
fore. have we 1‘“ looking up mischevious-
ly from beneath her blonds friucs at
her husband. .
“No" said the young fellow. laughing-
ly. "i believe not."
“And to think of all those lovely pre-
sents. I have enough to fill our house."
said she.
But now the whistle proclaimed that
the five minutes at North Adams was
passed. The clergyman kissed the bride.
grasped a hand of each and with a bear-
ty “Happy journey my desrs." departed
precipitately. As the train slowly mow
cd out of the depot a loud chorus of
“ ‘rali ‘rali ‘rah“ sounded clear above the
din of the engine. and was responded to
in kind by the five noisy young gentle-
men in the next section. The bride
peered out of the window until the
cheers bad subsided. and then turning.
exclaimed, “How lovely of them to come
to the station and give us such a glorious
and 0!."
We shall be pardoned for having ob—
served this party too interestedly when
we explain that. since leaving Boston at
3 p. m.. we had been dependent upon
the attentive conductor for society. who.
a few moments before. had loft us in a
state of cold terror. after a recital of a
hail-breadth accident. closing the tale
with the cheering admission that acci~
cidents were so likely to occur that he
never allowed himself to think of them.
Had it not been for the presence of the
D. D.. we should have instantly decided
that this was a case of culopsment. for
the bachelor friends of the bride-gr. om
showed them to be members of some
college society, whose badge they sport~
ed. Our fancy was pleased by the tone
of remonstrancc assumed toward them
by the new made Benedict. who was the
butt of all tlieirjokes and was not allow-
ed to enjoy his Wife‘s society during the
hour's ride to 'I‘my. each of the others
in turn claiming her attention. It was
evident that chsmpanxc had flawed at
the Wedding banquet, which. if not too
freely enjoyed. had sufficiently enliven-
ed them and loosened their tongues. At
one time a bet was proposed. the amount
to be paid in candy to the bride. In the
light of subquucnt events we can but
wonder why every little incident con-
nected with this party impressed ltsclf
so indelibly upon our mind. One of the
young fellows begged to be allowed to
peep into the locket which the bride-
groom wore on his watch chain.
“Can I let them see." said the young
husband. looking over the back of the
seats at his wife. She smiled uncut.
When. upon opening it. the curious
youngster looked up rouglshiy—“Yes,”
said the proud owner. “It is my wife-
my girl i“ -
As the train neared Troy ths whole
party prepared to quit the can. and good
bys were exchanged among them. “We
will surely myou in June." said one.
addressing himself to the pair.
“Oh! yes. I'll come down and bring
my wife."

sought out. The matter -
ment is tedious, and then the ' _
fitting is one of numerous and re ’ -
trials. Finally the dress is finished and
sent home. Then it is sent back to be
sken in here and let out there, and at
last, after the customer has been fitted
more times for that one dress than bcr’
husband has been measured for three
or four years, the dress comes home for
the last time and is pronounced by the
wearer. her friends. and the dressmaker
as a beautiful and perfect fit, and is fin-
lubed.
Beautiful it certainly is, far more
beauitful than her husband ever wears.
Colors and material, style, blending
shades and contrasting bits of color. are
all in the perfection of good taste. No
man can improve upon that. But it
isn’t finished. \Vhen it is completed as
faras the skill or the dressmakcr can
finish it. and it is put on, it has to be
pinned. Somewhere, sometimes in two or
three. often in half-s—dozen places. It
always requires a pin. Leave out the
pin and the dress is all awry somewhere.
On all this broad continent there is not
one American woman who can dress so
as to make any kind of appearance in
good society without pins.
Now, suppose our tailor should send
our suit home. and when we had put on
the coat we had to pin it at the niacinl
Or suppose there were no sin: pander
buttons aft, and we had to use plus
there? Suppose we had our shirts so we
would have to pin on the collar—how
long would such a shirt or such a suit of
clothes stay in the house? Who would
be responsible for the language used by
the man who has to pin his coat? No
tailor wouldfiare to tempt the wrath of
an independentlman. But woman—alas
she patiently pins on the dress that she
paid some $30 or $40 to make. and dosu't
think anything about it. We will not
pursue this painful subject. Let the
woman of America take it up. and think
about it, and learn. in the noble inde-
pendence of womanhood. to make their
clothes before they put them on.

Correspondence Weutc Ilse.
As our party ‘piudded 11111111: thes-
roads we attracted special attention.
Wherever we passed peasants at Work in
the fields. no matter how distant from
us. they at once stopped work and came
to look at the strangely dressed foreign-
ers. If they were at a. considerable dis-
tance they would run at the top of their
speed so its to reach the road before we
could pass out of night. But when they
came near enough to see that part of our
company consisted of ladies. it would
often occur that instead of stopping to
stare as if ashamed of themselves. they
would passallcn, by with a sort of awk-
wardly assumed pretense that they were
not coming to see us. but were going up _
on mine errand further on. or would
pretend to be looking at theiiorsss while
they would furtlvely peep at the rider.
This. I soon found. results from the Chi-
nese seclusion of women. In China the
better class of females never show them-
selves to stronger-s. and but rarely to any
except their own relatives. No on. over
sees the females of a good Chinese fun-
liy, or ever enters the part of the house
when they reside. In all our visits to
Chinese persons of quality we never saw
a woman. And when our calls were re-
turncd we. acting under the sdvlcc of
persons long residing in the country. ‘
carefully drove our own ladies inton-
clucion. so that their presence should
not give offense to our visitors. It is
not good manners to even speckle ll Chl-
