You've probabiy observed that there has been a great change in the character of Journalism in one particular, and especially is this change noticeable in New York. It is the pronounced power ef capital. The newspapers of New York are great moneyed institutions now, with plenty of capital at their backs. Capital hires the brains. Brains alone cannot Fun a paper in New York. No matter how ow able a man may be, he must have money. He must be able to command the im. mensé resources of the Associated Press. Nothing in individual journatistic enterprise can now compete with the Associated Press. You see, when Bennett wants to make a reputation he goes to Africa or the North pole, where there is no competition. Bennett has moods, but all the force are glad to see him back, and, when he is there, he is accessible to every attache of the paper. Whether it is a good paper to work on oF not depends. Some men have been on the paper for 30 years, or like that; for instance. and Dr. Wallis.

The city really grows to be regal with its monumental characteristics, and it fairly tickles the pride of the American to 1€ here and behold it. Laid out with regu- rily and after an intelligent plan, its broad avenues are yet anything but monotonous in their stately stretches. At intervals through- out the town the long lines of sidewalk and pavement are interrupted by garden or park ike circles, as they are called, many of them forming the tasteful setting to some wie bronze statue of a hero of the war or of more remote history. Thus ks the eye Aapreeably re- lieved and diverted, and thus will the health and beauty of the city always in great me: sure be preserved. No longer are the vast proportions of the public buildings contrasted only with the dilapidated and unsightly struc. tures which formerly served as the business and domestic abodes of a community in which freedom was merely a ficlion of the wild re- formers. Within ten years these have given pee to the beautiful private residences of the wealthy to the tidy and tasteful homes of the well-to-do, and to the handsome and con- venient business blocks ef a shrewd and thrifty Reople. Indeed, the domestic architecture of ashington is one of its striking outward fea- tures, and in the variety of its styles and origi- nality of designs is likely one day to rival that of Boston I'self.—[Samuel Bowes in Spring- sjield Republiean.

All we have to do is to point te the machine. That stops that business, you know. A number of amusing instances hi oceurred since the register has been in use. A traveler called a few nights ago, and while partaking of his drink I pulled the fifteen-cent drawer, When he shouted, ‘Don't _ring for # porte) T don't nt to go to bed An- other asked where the cashier's desk was, after receiving kis bit of pasteboard.

It will register as high as you Wish from ten \ ents up, nothing below that figure, as the no five-cent drinks sold here.” “The invention was manufactured. by the New York Registering company. and the first introduced into the city.
