EDITOR OF THE NEW YORK PRES9.
llmiHoril Marrlll mul (lie Hucnnl Hit Hat

(SrxclAl Corrcnpontnc.l
New Yomc, July 2. A now editor hns
couio to Now York, Mr. llrodford Mer
rill has bocomo tho oditor-ln-chlef of the
Now York Press. Ho Is tho youngest
of Now York editors, but ho brings to
his duty hero n reputation gained nfter
ninny yenrs' service upon ono of tho lend
ing nowspnpers of this country. The
Now York Press Is tho only ono of ninny
newspaper ventures undertnken In Now
York city In recent yenrs thnt hns
achieved permnnenee. It wns estnb.
llshod but u few yenrs ngo, Its orlgb
untors lejiig Mr. Frank Hntton, who
wns otinntcr general In PreNldent Ar
thur's cabinet and Is now ono of tho pro
prietors of tho Washington Post, and
Mr. Holwrt P. Porter, who Is now tho
chief of tho census bureau.
Tho paper wns established with a doll
nlto Idcn, and that was to furnish n true
newspaper at tho price of ono cent pel
copy, devoted to tho Republican party,
ami particularly
to the mainten
ance of tho doc
trine of protec
tion. Only one
Republic a n
morning paper
wns at thnt 1 1 un
published in Now
York. Thnt wns
Tho Tribune, and
Gfrlt was n costly
comparison with
' others tno pneo
being threo cents.
Thero wern soma
HAMWID MRRRIIX. who (lou,)tc(1 tho
success of the cxierlincnt. Mr. Hntton
retired within it fow mouths, and when
Mr. Porter wns made chief of tho census
bureau ho also retired. Tho pnjwr passed
Into tho control of a very prominent and
wealthy innuufncturer of Fitchburg,
Mans. Mr Phillips. Ho is nn ardent
protectionist and strong Republican, and
though ho bad previously bad no news
paper experience, yet ho demonstrated
tho ability of Tho Press to survive.
".t soino time, however, it hns been
.ed to place a journalist of widoex-
tKiiienco," of broad views and thorough
knowledge of men and events at the
helm, hence the call to Mr. Merrill.
Tho new editor Is thirty-Jive yenrs
of ago; ho Is a Boston boy, and, with the
exception of Charles A. Dnnn, is tho
only editor of n Now York pnper who
caiuo from tho enst. Ho wns educated
nt tho Boston Latin school and fitted for
Harvnrd college, but instead of taking n
course thcro ho went to Europe and
spont two years in study. On his return
ho had a brief and Incidental experience
In newspaper work with the Boston Her
ald and the Philadelphia Times, and
twolvo years ngo went to the Philadel
phia Press as staff correspondent. He
afterward bocaino Its night editor, its
news editor, Its assistant managing edi
tor, and flvo years ago became tho exec
utive bend of the paper, and his son-ice
was such thnt he hns been recognized as
ono of the great managing editors of the
country. During his career with the
Philadelphia Press it has grown from
an almost provincial newspaper with n
comparatively small circulation and a
modernto income, until now it ranks as
ono of tho most influential journals in
the Republican party.
E. J, EnwAitns.
A Very Ki'tilona OrtHer.
London, Juno 20. "He's either n very
jealous officer or n most confounded fool,
I don't qulto know which," muttered
tho old commandant of tiio British gar
rison at Aden (southern Arabia), staring
blankly nt nn open letter beforo him.
And well might no say so. The letter
came ftom Peri in islet, u bnro knuckle
of rock borely three miles long by less
thnn two wide, which stands sentry like
in the strait connecting the Red mmi with
tho Indian ocean, and is held by thirty
Sepoys and one English officer, who is
periodically chosen from Aden.
When a young lieutenant had been
sent to Perlm from Adcu a fow months
before, u feeling of deep pity for the vic
tim mingled with the joy of his brother
officers that they wero not in his plnce.
What would this military Robinson
WCrusoe do in thut drearv snot, whore
I V).v'jr was not even duty enough to keep
,,,ivil -m,...lwi, Wa.,1.1 ,, .,, u ,
hhtfi -iinployed? Would bo tench one of
his thirty "men Fridays" to play rds,
nnd i.vo a friendly game of wiiiat or
poke(,vvery evening for n stake of ono
slice jyt ration beef? Would ho spend his
ownvllmo nud the government stores in
brewing empty bottles with a revolver?
Wlvuld be, liko Achilles, "wander silent
pJoug tho shore of tho sounding son,"
envying tho birds their unlimited leave
of absence nnd tho shnrks their unre
stricted right of privateering? Would
he try to Bmoke hlmbelf Into oblivion of
his hnrd lot? Would ho sink lower still
and lapso into tho study of politics, San
scrit, anthropology or tho theory of evo
lution? Would he go mad or would he
commit suicide? Any one of these things
would bnvo seemed probnblo enough com
pared with what had actually happened.
Before tho colonel lny (If ho could bo
lievo his eyes) nn application from this
banished man for an extension of his
term of duty nt Perlm! Such n thing
had never been known before; but if this
young fool chose to remain in thnt hideous
solitude it wns no one's business but his
own. His request wns granted, nud the
commandant thought no more of tho
matter till a second letter came from
Perim asking n further extension of duty.
This was really "too thin," and a dark
suspicion rpse up in the colonel's mind,
which, however, he had no time to verify,
being himself on the point of going lion
on sick leave. But on reaching London
nlmoAt tbo first man whom ho met wns
his "very jealous officer from Perim
Islef! Tho murder was out at Inst. The
renlous lieutenant had tnken a holiday
without ltnve, and in order' to coucenl
the fnct had left behind him, tn the care
of a trusty native sergeant, three or four
application' for nn extension of duty,
dated several months apnrt, which were
to be tent to Aden at stated intervals.

How to JiiiIbb Character by Kluijrr Null.
Very pnle nails Indicate much Infirmity
of the flesh and liability to tiersecntton
by neighbors and friends. Nails grow
ing Into tho llesh nt tho points or sides
are Indicative of luxurious tastes. White
marks on the nails bespeak mlifortuuo.
Palo or lead colored nails betoken melan
choly. Broad nails belong to those of
gentle, timid, bashful untures. Lovers
of knowledge and liberal sentimenta
have round nulls. People with narrow
nails aro ambitious and quarrelsome
Small unlls belong to smnll minded, ob
stinate and conceited people, wbllo
choleric, martini men have red and
spotted nails.
How to Tot out.
Apply bichloride of copper, which
tnnkes a brown spot on alloy, but pro
duces no effect on a surface of gold.
Ilnw tn Itrmovr :lltiker from Htovr.
Put half a tM'ck of oyster hIioIIh on top
of a bright fire. Repeat when cllnkoru
show signs of forming.
How to Wnah Cnlorrd Cut Iron.
After washing and rinsing tho gar
ments dip them in a pail of rain water
iu which flvo cents' worth of sugar of
lend has been dissolved. Wring out
promptly.
How tn Itellevt it Fnliitliig rrmnn.
If the face is pale lay tho patient tint
on the back nnd raise the feet a little.
If tho face is red raise tho patient to n
sitting or easy reclining posture. The
palu face indicates that there is too little
blood in tho bead; tho red that there is too
much. It is necessary also to lie careful
that a "black or blue" face is not mis
taken for a pale one, for this dark hue
Indicates venous congestion, and in such
n enso the patient should lw raised.
Haw to I'rotfot Tn. from Iimrcti.
A M8to of one part powdered chlo
ride of lime and a half part of hoiuo
fatty matter placed in a narrow baud
around tho trunk will prevent Insects
from creeping up tho trees. Even rats,
mice, cockroaches nnd crickets flee
from it.
How h Wniiiuii Should Kxrrclnr.
A woman who hns paid great atten
tion to this important subject says wa
ter and air aro the best tonics nnd benu
tillers. For bathing purposes she rec
ommends long mittens made from Turk
ish toweling. At night the mittens
should be put in a wnshliowl of wnter
in which u little tine salt has been dis
solved. On rising in the morning wring
out the mittens, put them on and rub
the whole body briskly. Dry on n towel,
not too coarse, and drts quickly. Then
go out of doors, If only for live minutes.
Walking is the best exercise. If you
cannot walk half a mile at first, walk u
quarter; keep on stretching the distance
until you can walk three or four miles
without fatigue. Fresh air will put a
good color in the face, and when the
lienlth is good nnd the blood circulates
freely tho nerves will be all right
How it I'l'iialon la Olitxlnvil.
Printed instructions and forms can bo
obtained free by applying to tho com
missioner of tensions, Washington. Tho
company nnd regiment in which tho
claimant served, the nam' of the com
manding officer, nud dates of enlistment
and discharge must bo set forth in tho
application. In navy cases similar in
formation must be given in regard tr,
tho vessel upon which the clnimnnt
nerved. Declaration must be made bo
fore it court of record, and his identity
shown by the testimony of two credible
witnesses, i ho nature of tho ovideuco
required to sustain the claim will bo in
dicated to the clnimnnt upon the filing
of his declaration nt Washington.
Huh to Keep Slrat Fieb In Mummer.
Meat can be kept very nicely for a
week or two by covering it with sour
milk or buttermilk and placing it inn
cool cellar. The bono or fat need not be
removed. Rinse well before using.
How to Kumove Pnlnt Stnlna.
When tho stains are dry they should
be softened with butter and lard, and
are then easily removed by turpentluo
and soap. Benzine, alcohol or turpen
tine will readily remove fresh paint
stains, and chloroform will removo stains
after everything else fails. Common
turpentine often leaves a stain of its own
on silk. This can bo taken out by nlcohol
applied with n sponge.
How to Find the Content ofn Corn Crib.
Multiply the nmnlier of cubic feot by
4 nud point oil ono decimal place. The
result will bo tho nnswer in bushels..
How to Wrlto on tin, Train.
This is ouo of thoso simple things
which few people know of. If you aro
in a Pullman car, got a pillow from the
porter, put it on your lap nnd place your
writing materials on It. The elasticity
of the pillow will insure smoOthnesa.
Where a pillow cannot bo obtained use
your coat.
Hon to Lacquer llriiaa.
Wlieu brasses of any kind become
stained and worn they can readily bo
lacquered in the following way: Get
one ounce tumeric (ground) and two
drachms each of saffron and Spanish ar
natto; mix them tu n bottle with a pint
of rectified spirits of wine. Place the
mixture In a modernto beat for two or
three days. Then strain and add two
ounces of good seedlno, roughly iov.
dered; shake until the lau is dissolved.
Again straiu and it is fit for use. If a
deep orange lacipier is required add
more nrnntto, if u bright yellow decreaso
tho quantity. Warm the brass (after
cleaning it) nud apply the lacquer with
n brush; warm until thoroughly dry nnd
it is douo.
AN OLD TIME FOURTH.
ITnw They Ued to Celebrate the Day la
Kentucky.
The Fourth of July in Kentucky in olden
times wns n universal holiday nnd n gen
eral Jubilee. It wns usually celebrated by
n "bnrliccue nnd bran dnrice," "institu
tions" thnt havo well nigh become, things
of tho pnst, nnd live now chiefly In tho
memory of old timers.
s
THE CON'OIIF.SSMAN'8 8PKECII.
A cool and shady spot, accessible to a
Inrgo community, was selected for tho jubi
lee, anil lltted out with piu on which to
"barbecue" plus, lambs and beeves. Con
venient to tho pits wero tongrowNof tables,
and on them were spread, as accompani
ment to the piles of crisp, brown meat,
liberal stacks of baki-d chickens, vcKctnbles,
pickles, pies, cnke, etc. A InrRo and
roomy atnnd built iiKainst giant beeches
served for tho accommodation of tho upenk
era, and in front of this wero seats for tho
audience, the whole beiug completely
shaded by the tree tops overhead.
The dance yard was n lingo nrbor, some
times T5 feet long nud CO feet wide, built on
a framework of stout posts and poles, and
J covered with green bushes, while there was
n nuseu suiint in mu luuier turiiiu iiuitivrs
and banjolsts, and seats arranged around
tho outer edgo for thosu who did not join
In the dance. Tho ground had beeuscrnped
to a smooth, hard surface, until It was per
fectly level, was covered three or four
inches deep with wheat bran, making n
velvety and springy footing for dancers
thnt nothing else could vcitinl. Sawdust
wns sometimes used, but bran was pre
ferred, hence the term "bran tliiuco."
The ieople came to the "barbecue" In
crowds from every direction and In nil
sorts of ways. The aristocratic planters
nud their families iu carriages; the poorer
fanners and their wives and children In
wagons nnd oxcarts; young ladles and gen
tlemen In buggies and on horseback; hunt
ers with their rifles nnd dogs, nnd others
on foot, with negroes here, there nnd every
where. About 11 o'clock the nssemblnge was
called together by the blowing of n horn,
and tho exercises of tho day begun. A veil
erablo preacher opened tho proceedings
with prayer, nnd then came the reading
of the Declaration of Independence by nu
old veteran. This wns tho "crowning
honor" of tho day, nnd the quaint Inn
gunge nnd tremulous tones of the nged
render gave additional interest to the im
prcsslveness of tho occasion. Tho orator
of the duy was usually the congressman
for the district.
After this were several Impromptu ad
dresses by persons called for by the crowd,
and In these there wus much of the spread
eaglo style, but they were all brimful of
patriotism, and wero pathetic or humorous
im best suited tho speaker's whim. Party
politics were ignored, and Whigs nnd Dem-
j ocrnts for the time forgot partisan que
, tions nnd diiTerenccs, nnd linked arms for
tho joyful occasion
TriUAIlllECUE,
Immediately utie conclusion of the
penklug dinner wasVnnounced, nnd a gen
eral invitation was extended for "everybody
to help themselves," ni there wns plenty to
ent and the folkt1 were expected to cnt it,
"ladles to have itltt places and attendance
at the tabla, hut room enough for all."
Whereupon the crowd adjourned to the
tables, which were literally loaded with
"barbecue" and everything else In the way
of substantial and tempting food. There
was also a generous supply of sparkling
elder, as well as peach and apple brandy
and "old sour mash" whisky, for toddies
and mint Juleps. The liquid refreshments
were indulged In freely, hut drunkenness
and disorder rarely ensued. Tho residents
of tho Immediate neighborhood considered
themselves as hosts, and saw that every one
was bountifully served,
After dinner there was n geueral move
ment to the arbor and nu inturmlugllng of
the people. Acquaintances were reuewed,
strangers were Introduced nnd partners se
lected, and the floor was soon filled with
sets of dancers. Tliu music was furnished
by four llddles, two banjos and a tam
bourine, and a prompter called the figure
for cotillons or quadrilles. Tho dance went
merrily on till sundown, when many par
ties repaired to neighboring houses to con
tinue the Fourth of July frolic until Uio
dawn of the Dth or later.
The old folks autl others soberly Inclined
enjoyed themselves us best they chose,
tome wntcblng the dancers and others dis
cussing the "craps" and matters of local
nnd geueral interest, whilo the children en
gaged in romps nud games.
Generally a numler of enthusiastic horte-
men choso a level stretch of road and hud
fine sport at quarter racing, while the
hunters got up a shooting match, and the
harp crock of the rifle mingled with the
music of the dancers nnd the cheers nnd
shouts of the racers.
Taking it nil in nil, n Kentucky Fourth
of July wns a most enjoyable ntTntr, and
tnnny n fnr off wnnderer from his old Ken
tucky homo would gladly travel back to
Ioln In an old fashioned "barbecue and
iron dance" celebration.
