If a reader of current newspa pers nave access to a nie 01 Amer ican newspapers of the last century, it will be found interesting to compare the news therein with the news of to-day. The world beltinjr teleerrarih has, of course, I made each morning's paper a mir f ror in which is reflected the world's , history for the preceding twenty four hours.. But the modern dif 1 ference in thejiews is not referable entirely to this greater promptness in its presentation. The press and all the news-gathering agencies forage for material in fields that were not sought a hundred years ago. The percentage of crime, scandal and indecency in the con duct of persons was fairly large then, but it was not treated as news, to which the press subordin ated all other things. If men tioned at all these things were dismissed, with a mere reference. The press was devoted more to the cultivation of literary taste, to discussions of statesmen and their craft in an enlightening spirit, and not in that of fault finding for po litical effect. The discoveries of new lands, the extension of com merce by mariners, the condition of strange and distant peoples, all mad news in those days. The world seemed more interested in the good and great things that were going on than in the bad and little things oi individual experi ence. Perhaps it is Cor .this reason that one rises from read jog an old file of newspapers with a satisfac tory sense of having gained in formation, although the sheet is tawny with time, and the men who produced it are dirt and the events it records are long gone by. The old paper is a genuine history of the world's doings in its day, of such things as were not only of moment to" the people then, but of those which were to concern peo ple yet to be. It must be admitted that in these respects the old newspaper is in great contrast with the successor of these days. Whether the pub lic taste for news has changed, or whether the news-gatherers are of a different kind, there is a change, which will make the press of to day compare queerly in the future with that of the eighteenth cci tury. A glance at the news oi the dtv telegraphed to the- American piesss from abroad, and also distributed to the press from 2s'ew York, is enough to furnish a text either for a cynic or a moralist. The cable brings from England the filth only of the worst English high-life di vorce cases, with every bit of de cent reserve stripped from it. For home news we have the startling intelligence that a black setter dog, "name unkown," jumped off a bridge iti New York and was picked up and cared for at a neighboring stable. In the same oity.there was an extempore prize fight between two boxers in a drinking place. The. principals were interviewed, and their affirma tions and denials were wired as carefully as if they affected the standing of the public credit or threatened a change in the map of nations. Then follow several lynchings, with lickerish descrip tions of the crimes that caused them, and a number of legal hang ings, ornamented in the same wty. Segregated from the rest of the day's "hews," it is found that these things constitute two-thirds of it. The other third is compact of suicides, 'some defalcations, a few misrepresentations of public men and quotations from the dif ferent markets. The inference is that the people who gather and those who read the news, are occupied for the most part with follies, frailties, calamities and crimes which oc cur all over the world, and a vis itor from another planet would conclude that all we do here of note is in the line of divorce, ii; continence, slaying, sneakinj slogging, lynching, lying and dev ilment. It is fortunate that the world is i not as black as it is painted in'the news. If it were, only the drastic remedy which purged Sodom would ever cleanse and-mike it fit to live in. Susanville, Cal., May 12. Ice formed half an inch thick here last night. The entire fruit crop is killed, . - New TJse3 For the Shoe Bnttoner. It'is a singular fact that nine out of ten of the "bums" aud tramps brought into the station house have on their person a shoe buttoner. No ,rnatter what kind ol shoes they vea, still they have one of these simple instruments. Lieut. Hambrock decided a week ago to make a collection of the shoe buttoners taken from the prisoners brought into the Yremen street station. In the seven days they numbered eighteen, and like young ladies do with their strings. of buttons, he attached them to gether. He has now a chain some three feet in length. A peculiar thing is, that the hook end is bent into a variety of -shapes. This penchant for having buttoners at; traded the attention of the de tectives long ago, and it happened to strike somo bright minded po liceman that the little instrument could be made to do the work of a skeleton key, as far as the locks in common use were concerned. In leality, the shoe buttoner, to all intents and purposes, was con verted into a burglar's tool, and still could be readily passed off as a necessary implement in arrang ing one's toilet. The possession of a skeleton key is a serious of fense and carries with it. convic tion of a penal term. The lawr however, cannot regard the shoe buttoner as a contraband article, and still the evil intending are as well fortified with it as with the burglar's favorite tool, since, when properly shaped, it does the work equally as well. The .expert can pick a lock with one of these little iron hooks with as much fncility as if he had a skeleton key, and yet if caught with it in his possession enjoys immunity from the statute covering the offense. Usually, when one of these instruments is found on a, prisoner's person, it is thrown away, 'or perhaps given back if the owner is released No doubt in the course of a year sev eral hundred are taken up by the police. The amount of theft that could be traced to them would very probably prove startling. (Jin. Inquirer. RET.IAIH.E AND AIWAY3 SAME.
