Newaphpet' :ra ncnolaturn. Fully a quarter of the newspapers of the United States:, as shown by the American Newspaper Directarw-, are to be classed under ten titles. First in number aro the Jeurae 5, of which number there are more than 0550; Arany of these, however, are magazines or publications devoted to special subjects or interests. There are 160 medical, and surgical periodicals in the country. of which fifty are Journals. The Newt is the name next in favor; nearly 600 papers bear it. There are about 600 Heralds and as many Times', the great proportion of them newspapers. Next on the list Come the Presses and Tri- bunes, not quite 200 of each, with about 100 Suns and as. many Posts. As a newspaper title, the Sun is at a disad- vantage; it is peculiarly a name for a daily Journal, and a morning paper at that. In this respect the Star is more fortunate, since it will fit impartially a newspaper published in the morning or in the evening. The Gazettes and Couriers probably follow the eight pa- pers already named, but the Couriers are going out. Considering the prom- inent a art which the telegraph has played in the development of the Amer- ican newspaper, there are compare ive- ly few Telegraphs and Telegrams --in fact, the Mails are relatively more num- erous. On the other hand, there has beep quite a run on Telephones and Calls. It is not easy to account for local fashions in newspaper nomenclature. Kansas has only seven Tribunes; young Dakota, with a quarter of her popula- tion, has as many. Of New Hamp- shire's hundred newspapers a dozen are Journals. Ohio probably takes the lead n the matter of political names, having twenty-six Republicans to forty- five Democrats, while there are fifteen Independents. In the case of almost every prominent American journal thus distinganished, the whirligig of time has not failed to bring in his 'revenge. The St. Louis Democrat is a Republican 'pa- per; so is the Rochester Democrat. The St. Louis Republican is a Democratic paper; so is the RJchester Republican. Every tenth paper in Kentucky is a News. Louisiana has just over a hun- dred papers, and this short listincludes seventy-two different names, fifty-six of the journals of the Pelican State enjoy- ing within its borders a monopoly of the titles which they bear. On the other hand, Vermont publishes less than sixty periodicals, and of these a fourth bear the name of the State, while twelve of Arizona's twenty-three papers com- memorate the Territory in which they appear. The climate of Jamaica is said to be the most perfect in the world. Accord- ing ccording to statistics the average tempera- ture on the coast from June to Novem- ber is 80 degrees, and from November to June 75 degrees. In the mountains, 4,000 feet above the sea level, the av- erage is 65 degree's all the year round. The mercury is never known to go higher than 95 degree., and that very rarely-, nor below 69 degrees. Situated. in the track of the trade winds a most healthful breeze blows over the island nearly every day in the year, and at a:;ght a cool, gentle breeze comes down from the mountains.

Dr. Holmes does not save his bright thoughts for print and the public, bat is often so 'witty, while chatting with one or two friends as was ever the autocrat or professor of the breakfast { I table. A young physician once asked him for a suitable motto. "Small favors gratefully received." was the witty response, He was complaining in a coniieal„way to a lady of the min* oto portion of honey that was given to him at a hotel tea.

Several of the now famous writ- ers and lecturers of Boston were speak- ing of their lecture experiences, when the subject of pay was brought up. Each roan of the company was certain that he had received the smallest sum. But Dr Holmes made a climax by say- ing: "Listen, gentlemen.

W4'hattley generally get is tobacco, pipes, calico, American axes, knives, etc. Some- times, too. I fancy, the "boys" we get are sold to us by others who have cap- tured them., and are glad to get some- thing for thein. In a few instances we pick up people who are running away from enemies. This is not common, but I remember one case. Two boats were lying off the island in the usual way, the first close by the beaeh with the "cover" boat a little way behind i4, when a beautiful young woman plunged off a point of rock into the surf, and,. after diving under the heavy breakers, reached the smooth water, and soon, catching hold of the gunwale of the hist boat, sprang on board. fn nsake and shape she was one of the finest specimens of the human race I bare ever seen; ber features small and exeeedingly regular, her eyes a]rno-t Wok, with long lasbes, anti beautiful hands and feet, Her hair was nil shaved with the exeepti n of one tuft of long hair e;uite on the crown of her head. Which was rolled up tight in a small tuft. She was in a perfect state of nudity, and as she sat there uu- ab.eshed, with ber hands raised to her bead arranging her tuft, she wvks the mo t graceful creature I ever saws While sitting in the stern sheets of the boat whit- lt was fast distancing the shore, she was casting anxious looks back to the spot from which she bad leaped, and of a sudden her beautiful eyes brighteued up, and there was a write that bad some sort of devilment in it playing over her face, caused by her having caught •igbt of her pursu- ers. three in number. with bow and ar- row in band, The foremost of them went down on his right knee, and the girl motioned the men to look out, and before he could tak his aim the boat's sail was run half way up the mast and was a protection for all in the boat. Tho said had not been more than a few minutes up before several arrows pierced It and stuck there. This was a signal fee' the boat's crew to seise their Snider rifles, and the first shot caused one man to roll over, and the others in- stoutly took to the bush and no more was seen of them. We lauded our fn. tire safely on the ship's deck, and. o was supplied with clothing, and was soon apparently at home with her female recruits on board.—Pall ,hletli Gazette. A Miner's Chivalry. "Around the dying embers of a fire in a mining camp many miles west of the MississIppi," said an old mining engineer,"thhere weregathered together one evening in 1878 a group of needy adventurers, who were taking fortune by the throat, so to speak, and bidding her stand and deliver. I was one of them. We bad bad tough luck, and the fact that we had that day buried ono of the kindest -hearted men I ever met, and the cheeriest companion in camp, was not calculated to revive our drooping spirits. iliac E--- was a young German practical chemist of good family, who, having run through a large fortune in early life, badcrossod the ocean to make another in the United States. A congestive chill had carried him oft' after . a sickness of a few hours. All his worldly goods con• sisted of a little—a, very .little --money, a small bundle of clothes, and a packet of letters, yellow and worn, tied to- gether with a faded piece of ribbon. He had never spoken to us about his relatives and it tivas in the h ope of finding the name of somebody to whom we might communicate the news of his death that we opened the bundle of let- ters, with the consent of his partner— Bill Cummins —a plain, rough man, who, a strange contrast to Mat, the polished and refined, had yet been his stanchest friend. After one letter had been read aloud we all looked at each other in surprise. It was from a well- known and popular actress, a married woman, whose name the breath of scandal has never even lightly touched. The contents of the letter, breathing the wildest, most passionate self -aban- doning Love and devotion, left no doubt in our minds with regard to the rela- tion that had existed between this wo- man and our dear friend. Before the second one of the letters, which were all in the same handwriting, could be opened, Bill Cummings rose tohis feet, and taking without a word'all the let- ters from the hand of him that held them, dropped them into the smoulder- ing fire, and pressed them down with his foot until all were reduced to ashes. He then took a long pull at his pocket - flask and, turning to us, said in a mat- ter of course way: 'She's only a wo- man, ye see, boys, an' I guess that's what he'd a' done if he'd s know'd his mind when he pass'd in his checks.'" They had gone to a tarm house up in the mountains to spend the summer. "Oh, yes," she writes back to some friend in town, in a wearisome sort of way. "Oh, yes, it's all very rural. The coffee is cold and the water is warm; we use condensed milk; we can have all the berries we can pick if we walk two miles up the mountain for them; there is a horse and' buckboard we can have whenever we want them, if we will harness the horse and drive our- selves, and they are not using the horse on the farm. :They don't keep chick- ens; the nearest tree is a mile from the house, and when we complained of salt side meat and ham three times a day they said there wouldn't be any fresh meat until after 'hog killin'.'
