The Industrial South, of Eich niond, Va., says: "There is a wood pulp factory at Augusta, Ga., at which the expedition with which paper could be manufactured was re cently demonstrated. A tree was cut in the forest at six o'clock in the morning, was made into pulp and then into paper at six o'clock in the evening, and distributed among the people as a newspaper by six o'clock the next morning. From a tree in the forest to a printed newspaper, be ing read by thousands, in the brief round of 21 hours!" Apart from the information, this item is copied as a suggestion to our local poets. Here is a capital foun dation for a poem.. The waves and the clams and' the shore, and the sad sea and the sand, and all the rest of it, are getting a little old in poetry received atthis office. Our aspiring poets can here find a good theme. Dim forests, twilight gloom, moss grown trunks, gothic arches, nature's temples, arching branches, nestling leaves, glancing sunlight, twittering birds, rude woodman, forest echoes, glistening "ax, prone monaroh, busy machinery,wonderful transformation, great thoughts, cold type, power of the press, flying sheets, impress of intelligence, courier of news, at dawn a tree, at uusk a newspaper, nine teenth century, spirit of liberty, genius, progress, freedom, great peo pie, and all hands 'round. Here is a grand opportunity for some divinely gifted soul to write a poem. Any person who has ever c .isBed the Atlantio in the spring .or fall, when there were few passengers, may remember to have experienced a per vading sense of loneliness. What must be the feelings of a man who crosses the ocean in a dory? He must be a bold and cheerful crank, indeed, who would make the attempt The very, idea of rowing alone in that wild waste of waters with nothing but the stars for companions and an occa sional porpoise to remind ono that life is not yet extinct, is enough to create melancholy. There is no es pecial reason why Captain Trainor should subject himself to to terrible a penance. No man of senso will think the better of him should he escape lunacy or sudden death. He might just as well have crossed on a good-sized steamer. But the crank has his uses. He serves to remind the moderately sane portion of the human race that common senso is worth cultivating. English papers give the details of a powerful syndicate in course of formation at Birmingham, for the purpose of transplanting into the United States the leading industries of England. The causes which have led to this movement lie in the inad equately profitable state of staple trades in that country, and the result of this stagnation and of the accum ulation of capital that finds no em ployment has been that English man ufacturers, although they have within a few years past planted manufactures in Spain, Belgium, Germany and France, are now about to turn their attention to the United States on a stupendous scale. This exodus of capital has been confined for the most part to the metal trades, but it has gradually extended to other -manufactures, comprising the cotton, woolen, linen, worsted and paper in dustries. The professors of the university of Jena, who have been investigating the effect of tobacco upon the human system, report Ithat moderate quan tities of the weed may be used with out injurious effects. They say that in the German army soldiers in active service are very properly furnished with smoking tobacco, because smok ing enables them to endure severer fatigue upon smaller nutrition and with greater alacrity and confidence than would otherwise be the case. A xew fruit, "loquat,' introduced in California, where it is highly es teemed, is a native of Japan or China. The tree is an evergreen, with large oval coarsely-toothed leaves. The fruit grows in clusters, each plum re sembling a miniature Belleflower ap ple, and' is from an inch to an inch and a half in diameter. It is bright yellow, with a pleasant sour flavor, tough, smooth skin, and contains two large seeds. The tree is very hardy. A Milwaukee man has been sent to the penitentiary for three mouths merely for stealing a kiss from a young lady. If he had offered to re place it with another she might have forgiven him. Only one kiss is often an aggravation to a maiden who yearns for mora Old man English says he didn't spend a cent to get his son seated as member of congress, and most folks will believe him. The old man's rep ntation goes a long way toward sus taining him in this particular asser tion. Ik the eighteenth century the growth of population in Denmark was so small as to be scarcely notice able. During the present century the population has increased from one million to nearly two. Feance has but 77,016 naturalized persons out of a population of oyer 37,000,000 people. THE INDEPENDENT PRESS. The political course of independent newspapers is a mystery whioh many small thick-and-thin organs frequent ly endeavor to fathom, but they never make a very satisfactory job of it When a democratic engineer of a wind instrument finds something in an independent newspaper which suits him he usually speaks of the paper as "republican." When a re publican performer on a party melo deon spies a satisfactory opinion in an unfettered journal he quotes it as "democratic." When both or either are dissatisfied the one boldly pro claims the independent paper alwaya a republican organ, and the other in sists with, equal vehemence that it was ntrer anything but a democratic mouth-piece. So it goe3. We have observed that when an in dependent newspaper denounces a nomination party drummers in "the rural districts disccover that its cir culation is falling off with destructive rapidity. When it bolts a nomination information cornea from all parts of the American hemisphere to the ef fect that ancient subscribers are wad ing through mud and water for ten miles to stop the paper before an other mail can get in. If these vera cious bugle blowers were to be be lieved 'the combined independent press of this country would be able to work off its daily editions on a hand press. Yet what is the fact? In every city of considerable size in the United States the newspapers having the largest circulation, the most extensive and beat paying ad vertising patronage, the greatest amount of public respect and the most influenoe are those whose inde pendence of all party trammels most pronounced. Tne newspapers of small circulation, indifferent ad vertising patronage and no popular esteem are the truckling organs of party which never step out of ihe beaten path of machine politics. Next to a free press the most im portant thinis an independent press. A newspaper which is shackled to a political organization becomes the organ of that party whether its ten dencies are good or bad. Its busi ness is to misri present and mislead and its trade is false pretense and presumption. It can thrive only on the ignorance and prejudice of the people, whom it knowingly deludes. The independent newspaper appeals to the intelligence and decency of fair-minded men, and the fact that it is the most successful of the two 'is the strongest proof that the greater part of the people who read at all are intelligent readers. They may not always agree with the newspaper. They do not often doubt its honesty and sincerity. If these things were more thor oughly understood by the men who are directing the destinies of their country from behind the various tune ful instruments which they manipu late they would comprehend the jour nalistic situation a good deal better than they now do. Government regulation of the press is contrary to the spirit of Americanism. This accounts for the Cotigressional Record being edited with a eccop-shovel. NEW TODAY.
