Every editor knows the man whose at
tention has Jest lx.*en call ml to ait article
in the p:»i« r. He Is very numerous.
Ooubtlesa editors have Ion;? wondered if
there were not .•ome people in the world
’who devoted their time to calling the at
tent ion of other jieople to newspaper
articles, perhaps this first suggested to
A New York journalist the idea of cstals-
'lisltlng n bureau for the accommodation
of persons who dcsiro to have' their attca
tion coiled to what the newspapers sny
about them. At nil events he did start
ouch n concern ami it is now running in
fall blast. He employed men to read the
papers, for folks who don’t have a very
high opinion of the press never look at
the papers and don’t core-what the papers
aay about them, and tlicse men keep
a lot of boys on the jump all dry pasting
and mailing the clippings. The list of
subscribers is long ami inclmU-s
in every profession ami lino of »u"njt"s.
The bureau receives all the.dally, weekly
Aud moulhly publicathms of this country
And tiio princiital papers of foreign
countries, and the readers go through
about every day.
ACTOIfS ANI> AUTUORS.
Actors, of course, are patrons of the
bureau, and itlthongh they arc notoriously
vain their vanity has a business side.
Newspaper fame is a part of their stock
in trade, and notices have an actual value
to them. The more an actor is talked
About the better his chances of getting
engagements. And then an actor wants
to kuow what the critics say of his work
in order to he able to correct his faults.
If he brings out, a new play It is important
that he should knowhow it is received.
Arista, who arp peculiarly sensitive to
-criticism, want nil the notice of their pic
tures ami information about sales, exhibi
lions, galleries and new collections.
Authors are liberal patrons of the bureau
' Bomoof them want personal notices and
criticisms, but most of them want articles
on topics useful to them in compiling new
bonks.
- .. A great many congressmen discover
through the bureau how their votes,
apeeches and bills have affected public-
opinion in their distrirts, Foreign minis
ters get important information about the
countries to which they arc accredited,
trade relations, etc. During the Cutting
imbroglio, Senor Don Romero, Mexican
minister, was supplied with 1,^-0 article.'
on the alfair, aud so obtained a complete
epitome of American, English and French
newspaper opinions which were very vain
able to him. The civil service commis-
sioji is a good customer and gets much in
teresting reading matter, not always of a
gratifying nature.
Jay Gonjd is profoundly Indifferent to
newspaper talk and hasn’t the slightest
desire to see what is said al»out him. But
his partner, Washington E. Connor, is a
subsc riber, and if the little king of Wall
Street does not know everything that n
said by the press and public speaker*
About him and his doings it is because he
can’t read. Cyrus W, Field has his atten
tion called to articles that interest him
and doubtless has accumulated a mass of
valuable information about movements,
revolutionary history, dynamite and
patriotism. When William II. Vander
bilt died the bureau furnished to the
family 5,000 obituaries and editorials on
the millionaire, and, strange to say, there
were no rough or ill Matured ones in the
lot, which must have been a pleasant sur
prise to the family.
LAWS AXD STATISTICS.
City, state and national departments
Are supplied with decisions, new laws,
statisties, comments, etc,, and legal re
ports and other matters relating to prac
tice -arc furnished to a long list of law
yers. Railway corporations arc supposed
lo be ifopervious to public opinion, but
All the principal lines arc down on the
books for “newspaper attacks,’’ legisla
tion and everything affecting the railroad
business. With most of the subscribers
it is pure business. Manufacturers, con
tractors and builders want to know where
work in their line in contemplated and
what Improvements arc made in methods ‘
of doing work. A wine dealer wants to
know in advance about big gatherings,
like Odd Fellows’ conventions, public
banquets, swell receptions and weddings,
so that he may get in ahflad of othcrdcal-
ers and supply the qbampagne. If the
king of Dahomey thinks of reorganizing
his army some manufacturer of rifles
wants to hear about it in time to send an
Agent over there with samples of guns.
After the Charleston earthquake Maj.
Powell, of the United States geological
survey, wrote to the bureau: “Clip all
criticisms, theories and opinions of value
touching the recent earthquake.” Two
other subscribers, one a famous astrono
mer, telegraphed to the bureau to add
“earthquake theories” to their previous
orders,and a queer collect ion of crankisms
he must have got. One subscriber wanted
all death notices promptly, and located
himself near the bureau to get them as
soon as printed in city papers. AT soon
ps he got a death notice he would msh
around and try to sell a new kind of
mourning card to the bereaved relatives.
An enterprising undertaker also sub
scribes for death notices.
SOME CURIOL'S ORDERS.
The bureau gets some very curious
orders, of which the following are ex
amples: “Curious surgical operations,”
“The intelligence of dogs,” “Fashion
Articles describing new dresses on the
fjdage OF at balls, or describing the styles
of new buttons introduced,” “Bank rob
beries,” “Forgeries,” “(Socialistic fomen
tations which may lead to riots,” “All
libel suits,” “Appearance of cholera and
contagious diseases,” “Utah legislation
and jiormonism,” “Largo forest tires,”
“Wo nan's suffrage,” “Love, courtship
pud marriage,” “Engagements cf promi
nent 'ocicty people,” “Liquor traffic on
the Congo and Niger or any part of
Africa,” “Impure water supply of cities
pnd towns,” “Railvay development in
Chinn,” “Chess,” “Precious stones,”
“Water filtration,” “Amateur acting,”
“Bartholdi’s Liberty,” “Cdnuudrums”
And “Grindstones.”
Sucli a bureau is the w hispering gallery
of journalism. The obscure country paper
edifies its readers with a slashing editorial
on grinding railway monopolists, and
ivhen the editor takes his summer vaca
tion and writes to the superintendent of a
big road for a pass nil over the country he
WPmlcrs why he doesn’t get it. The cx-
{ danation is that the president of that road
las had his attention called toeverytking
said about his company in tin- public

Per contra, the great Milan academy—
where Ascoli teaches (one of the greatest
philologists In Europe) aud tho Abate
Ceriani is librarian of the Ambrosian—

it doe t more genuine university work than

hitherto considered to be the smallest
commonwealths in Europe, ere relatively

prises only a few square meters, -and its

It is situated in the eastern part of the

Mount Reuster, which rises to a height of

teen square miles, subject to the sway of
eight rulers.
The commune of Rueckersdorf, twelve
farms with the land belonging thereto,
constitute an enclave of the kingdom of
Saxony, six of which farms, in alternate
order, belong to Saxony and Ihc other six
to Altcnburg. Thus far it is not cleared

right of patronage over the church and
school. In the easternmost part of the
village on a steep bluff aro twq houses

of this, the population has offered itself

Another Cholera Prevention.
Tho cases of cholera which occurred in
the neighborhood of Mayence, premature
ly diagnosed us “English” but finally
identified as the terrible Asiatic cholera,
frightened the good citizens of Berlin and
induced the publication of a note by Pro
fessor Koch, who for the l; st live years
has occupied a chair at the University and
presided over the Hygienic institute. He
it was who pronounced the “comma
batillus” to be tho cause of the Asiatic
cholera, ami this opinion has been fol
lowed by a publication whose content:,
are most agreeable to the thirsty Germans
and will certainly add—it such he irossi-
ble—to the “Heidelberg tuns” v.fiich are
daily consumed.
Koch has declared, ns iho result of long
nftd thorough study, that tho comma
bacillus soon dies in beer. This opinion
revolutionizes the former theory that the
beverage was favorable to the propaga
tion o£ the disease, and asserts that water
is positively conducive to its spread.
Beer, says the professor, is really bene
ficial in cases of cholera, the water ingre
dients being thoroughly “cooked” and
the alcohol destroys tho bacillus. It is n
fact worthy of especial consideration, he
adds, that during the cholera epidemic in
Vienna in 1877 not a single case occurred
in a brewery. This declaration has been
hailed with delight; and were such a
thing as a Brewer’s Order of Merit ex
tant Professor Koch would receive the
decoration.—Berlin Cor. New York Trib

b2G0 Bushels For Sale !
I would respectfully inform ibe farmers of Aiken and adjoining Counties,
that I have on hand 1200 Bushels of Peter bin Crossed Cotton Seed for
.-ale at the following reasonable prices for Cash or Exchanyc, viz: GO cents
per bushel (of 30 pounds) delivered at Aiken Depot—50 cents perjtmshel de
livered at my burn, or I will exchange 1 bu shel of Peterkin Seed for two and
me-half bushels of any otlier cottonseed delivered at my barn 2J f miles
from Aiken. This seed is very prolific. I commenced using it in 18J4, and
have continued it over since to the exclusion of any other seed with most
gratifying and profitable results. Not withstanding the unfavorable seasons
of the past year, I will realize from my,entire crop of 78 acres, one good -100
pound halo of cotton to the acre. It exeellsall other varieties in the amount
of lint yielded trom a given amount of seed cotton. Cotton from Pcicrkin’s
Crossed Seed gins easier than any other cotton and makes u nett return from
100 pounds of seed cotton, of 38 to 10 pounds of good lint cofton. My er.tire
Crop averaged these figures. I gave special references last yeai.but the .satisfac
tion given to all those who bought from me then, makes it unnecessary for me
to more than to refer you to any one who has used my seed. I also oiler
25 Bushels of Kaffir Com,
W HICH I will sell at 25 cents per pound. This is a splendid feed for any
kind of stock, i made on a half acre of ground during the past unfav
orable year 25 bushels. Address
