Mr.Clnrk weighs nlmut two hnndr?-?1 and fifty pounds IB the Newspaper BUBUIOBB Overdone? In Our view thora IH UH much Moyer* production" in tho newspaper business UH thcro is in the manufacture of cotton gooda. AH a rule, of lute, (there ?re Homo exe options) as soon UH a town nt a rail road depot grow? largo enough to bo? eonie a "hotly pol lt te and corporate" a charter ia obtained. Tho next great and indispensable requisito to tho lifo ami prosperity ol'that town in tho opinion of its citI/.CIIK is n newspaper. A few typo (old and well-worn, perhaps,) and a sccoud-lmiid press aro pro cured. The pai>or is "started." It makes Ita nppouranoo with ono side reasonably well printed; the other, ma dded and 'blurred, and scarcely readable. Upon inquiry it is aacorlidnc'd that the readable, bettor-printed si? le ol'the paper is printed somewhere else than nt hollie -or at any rule not at said railroad slat ?or. tu other words, bait'tho paper, or what is known as thc "patent outside," is printed in the sweet land of Yankeedoui, or by sonic fellow, similar enterprising, ut homo, who lakes his cue there from. Little or nothing of a local na ture is recognized in tho "patent out side," and, for the reason already stated, what little may be in the liouui-prilltcu side can scarcely bo road. Tho elle. t is that those who only a few weeks pre vious wore so an x ions for a paper to be "stalled" have Home very decided ap prehensions that they have boon pretty badly "sold." The result is, after a few weeks, or possibly months of miserable existence, tho little "mongrel turns up its toes." lt is dead. And somebody, with more cilthuahuoil (han either cmin itient or experience, is m i nus a iVnv hun dred (lollara. This is uni' ic::i ure ort' over-production in the ii. w span, y business. Another feature \? o,,. multiplicity or excess of \('w-.pa'pm s now puldished. Two news fipers m the Hinno County may not be oo nu my ow lng in a great measure, of Cours c, to thc population, and the com plex mn and intelligence of ol' the 111 habitant-.. Not more than otlO-third of tb e white voting population,on un avor H'?i>', ?||-,. Imii'l Jilli- subscribes to (he (County papei-, where only mic is printed. W here tbee are two or more published, thia proportion ?H necessarily lessened, as a very small per cent, of the popula tion of any (Jaunty outside of towns or villages,, support more t han one loeal newspaper. Hence, we take it that where more than two newspapers ari1 published in a County with a population of less than tbree .thousand white vo ters there is au excess of at least ono papor, and consequently an over-pro duction to that extent. I.mt rr H .tri I lr Ilcnthi, -An astounding bank robbery lins just boon reported from St. Petersburg. Tho plundered insti tution is tho Statu Hank nf Hussin, and tho amount or tho robbery is 220,0(1(1 roubles, or ?148.00?. This amount was tnkon bodily out of the vaults of tho bunk between two days, but tho vaults were found se curely locked on tin; morning of tho discovery, und there was no evidence of violence or burglary. It was plainly not u case of defal cation, for tho hooks showed no false entries. A careful Inquiry baa shown that tho robbery was committed hy a party of minor em ployees of the bunk who had no right of access to the vaults, but who hail become thoroughly famil iar with the routine of thc institu tion, and thus were enabled to con coct a plan by which one of shelr number was locked In the vault at ibo <dosu of business hours and ro lonsed during the night by lils con federates. Before they were able to penetrate to tho treasure vaults, tho conspirators had to forgo tho signatures ol forty high officials of tho bank. Thc chief criminal bas Hod, and there is no probability of recovering mitch of tho stolen money. Beware of l>ogs. The 1 Sit lt instant while Hov. Vash tlne Kerlong was preaching at Bethany Church, Edgefild County, a dog that hud followed its owner took a tit in church. Tho congr? gation concluded nt once the dog was nind; und tho duuth from hy drophobia In the neighborhood a few days before made them the more frantic, Women screamed, and men and women climbed on and over benches with an agility thut was astonishing'. The preach er culled out from the pulpit, "Won't somebody give me a pistol ?" "Won't somebody give me a pistol ?" Hut no pistol was produced-al though it was in Edgeflold County. A gentleman in tho congregation hud a pistol, but he would not pro duce it, for fear some good brother might have him up for currying concealed weapons. Partial order Wits finally restored, and the preacher concluded his sermon to n demoralized congr?gation. - President of the I'nited States receives daily an average of?0,0i)u letters, which, ns n rule, ure ans wered on their receipt acknowl edged on tho day of delivery. To enable him to cope with this vast correspondence, much of which re quires not simply ll formol reply but considerable research anti spec ial knowledge, the Executive ls fur nished with about ten thousand .clerks, who, for convenience . are divided into seven departments, according ns thoir work bas to do with our foreign rotations, tho army or navy, the ?sicai machinery of the Government, Its Internal rel ations, the the postal service, or the adininistratson of justice. The Daft Electric Company are nuiking a series of experiments with their electric motor on tho eleva ted railroad nf New York. They claim that it can draw four cara at a speed of thlrtty-llve miles an hour. Hcvere, Hut True. Mr. Edward Atkinson, the statis ticlnn, in a recent address to the wool growers, aaid: "If the cur dog was not ;dlunger than tlie average Legislature, you could raise ail the wool wo make and import." Hut you have not gumption enough to muzzle your cur dogs. We have to protect our wool growers from the pauper wool of foreign coun tries, and cannot muzzle our dogs. There ls no question about the bane ful influence of the dog on sheep husbandry, and thousands of farm ers aro pre vented from keeping a few or many sheep on their farms owing to tho danger of loss from thc attacks of clogs; still, with all these drawbacks and an liisuflhlout supply of home-grown wool, tho price does not advance to ^satis factory point; ?I least; our farmers think lt ought to fetid) >i good deni more than inv ent market rates. - v . ?nguiuy win lui? beenTproba ted ?lt .1 asper, Tenn.
