Kentucky, ended in the award of first prize to tho Porter rll les, of Nashville ' Teuri. , and the second prize to Company C, of the 1st infantry, of Chicago. There were two other contesting conip.infes--the McKean cadets of Terre l iaute, Intl . . and the Louisville Legion cadets. 1'bis was a much smaller number than it was considered would suiviy be en­ tered. I t was expected that the Chickasuw Guards, of Memphis, and the Crescent City Kirte*. of New Or­ leans. together with certain Eastern coniptii ies, would enter tl ie l ist . The Chicago company bad no intention of making the trip, but received such a kind and pressing invitation from the Louisville management, that i t f made a hurried decision ten days previous to the dril l and had a short t ime for work, j Their rivals, the Sorters, had but just come out of a tournament at Nash­ ville. and had been three weeks in ?ampat 'Louisville, and under th,-se conditions the loss of the dril l , by six poin!», could not have been a great surprise to the Chicago company. It was, however their first defeat, and good crit ics on the ground at Louis­ ville are not willing, even, to abide by the decision rendered, and oontend that the I 'orters were outdril led. The Chicago company made the quickest dril l , and its marching movement were acknowledged to be superior. The Porters were backed by a host of friends aud a witness of the dril l relates that the Chicago boys \^ere .hissed, while dril l ing, by some over zealoiH adher­ ents ot the Nashville company, Tlie Louisville journals, however, praised the members of Company C for their uniformly gentlemanly conduct, aud the members of the company, without exception declare that ;hoir recep­ tion an J treatment by the Louisville people was handsome throughout, and there was an element in the population which would apparently have been happy fti the event that that th°y had carried oft l irst honors. Company C is sti l l at evens with the Porters, having defeated them, and the sti l l more formidable Cliickasaws at St. Louis, in 1879. k JOURNALISTIC CflANGK, An observant reader of newspapers cannot have failed to notice the great change that has taken place In a few years in regard to the treatment of criminal news. Kven those journals which were most profuse anil sensa­ tional in regard to the treatment of crimes and scandals now show a strong disposition to abbreviate such reports and push other matters forward to the chief place of In terest. It is known that many such reports are suppressed even by those papers which have gained the highest reputation for sen­ sational scaudal-mongering. Even the police gazette's have their rejec­ ted communications. It woukl cer­ tainly be gratifyiinr to think that this change has been wrought by a revolu­ tion in popular sentiment, but the facts will hardly bear out such a con­ clusion. It is far more probable that it has been wrought against the wishes of a considerable number. A New York journalist declares that it Is in the power of any leading newspaper publisher in that city to nearly double his circulation provided he will make his paper as vile a one as that number of readurs wish to purchase. Every­ body knows that a scandaluiw exposure will increase the demand for the paper containing it until the poiVer of the presses will he exhausted. Yet. in­ stead of catering to such a taste, the papers of the country generally have Hrongly tended toward the opposite direction, while the preachers and moralists have continued to .reproach (hem for degrading the standard of journalism. As an illustration of this it may be mentioned that the dally paper which liii«, perhaps, the greatest circulation in this country, and enjoj-s a reputation for enterprise excelled by none, has never so tnnch as mentioned the Sprague scandal in its columns, while other papers lucreased their circulation by thousands because they furnished the "racy developments." --Ex, W«» recently mentioned that General John C. Fremont, In his pres-. ent position ns Governor of Arizona, had not proved to be brilliantly suc­ cessful and that there appeared to be a very general desire ou the part of the people of that Territory to get rid of him. We receive to-day several l#]fc'*paper» from Arizona which con­ tain articles strengthening this lin­ ed at Tomlitone, ' if "unanimous desire in Arizona for the removal of Fremont; thai it is an out- BJfgT r lie re n.?vor was a time when the manufacturers of Rock ford had so gen­ erally sold out their agricultural im­ plements AS this season, and still be unabie to supply the demand. Among those running short were Briggs, Enoch A Co., who were skinned down to the la*t plow and implement. Em­ erson, "Talcott A Co. sold some 1.&50 mowers and nearly 7.0U0 corn culti­ vators. and the cry was for more. John P. Manr.y had to 'Mtt oft numerous out­ side orders, as did also the Knowlton Manufacturing Co --Journal. BIUD C.\<iES, the finest assortment In town, at the store of O. C. Colby A Co. opposite Bishop's Ml!!. rage upon the people of Arizona that he should have been allowed to retain his position so long; that he has no in­ terest in common with the people; that he conducted a lottery scheme un­ der the disguise of a public benefit, aud made a good thing by selling the franchise to a New York firm; ar.d that his absenteeism would be good cause for complaint were it not that he is as utterly useless while here as possibly can be, his last brief stay among us--during the last term of the Legislature--being principally devo­ ted to puerile exhibitions of spite against those who thwarted his selfish purposes. Powerless for harm direct­ ly when he is away, his absence, If pro­ longed to cternlt3*, would be only a cause for congratulation." This is rather rough on the once admired Pathfinder; but the Daily Epitaph-- they have very funeral names in Ari­ zona, it. seems--goes for him even more strongly, declaring that the ap­ pointment of Gen. Fremofit was a spe­ cies of pensioning upon the country of a man who, in the many splendid op­ portunities of his life had universally made a failure, and whose frittered chances for fame wd fortune had not left his name aud reputation without stain or blemish, and that the people earnestly desire Governor Fremont's removal, anil the appointment of a successor who shall be in every way qualified to fill the office, and one who is thoroughly indent!tied with the ma­ terial, social and political interests of Ariaona.--New York Daily Graphic. A GOOD GIMXDsrOMn.. The American Builder thus sums up the qualities of a good grindstone: "It should be strong, simple and clean; the trough expanded, to catch as nuicli as possible of the drip water and grit< a moveable shield, securely hinged tn keep tlie water from splashing, and yet permit the stone to be iwed from either side ; rests provided upon which to rest tools and the rod for trueiitg the stone, these rods being arranged to move toward the centra as the stone grows smaller. The bearings should be generous in size, proper provision being made for oiling without washing the grit into the bearings with the oil, and the ends of the bearings pro- neuted by some device which eflect- ually prevents the entrance of the grit. The stone should be secured to the shaft by nuts and washers, and tho washers fixed so that they cannot turn with the nuts as they are screwed up or unscrewed. In hanging tlie stone great care should be taken to hang it true stdewise, not only for conveni­ ence in using, but because a stone that is ii.pt true sidewise can neyer be kept true edgewise. LIFIC I* RKRtlX. The more I see of the middle elasse* of Berlin--the lawyers, prnf«nHip| merchants, etc . the more I am stir* prised at tho economy shown every* where. Hamburg seems luxurious bv ihe side of it. No house with carpets ing. and few with rich furniture even% A family seems seldom to hare mor«* than two servants. In some bouses of, wealthy mercchants I ham aeon tlmv dining room furnished with beds lit* curtained alcoves, so small are tlieitf houses. And in nearly all, some of tl.4 sitting rooms tre turned into bedroom*- as the first thing with a 'German is tw:! have a place In which to chat with hi* friends, and after that where to lay hiV bead. 1 see, too. that the Hamburg bountiful dinners are not In TO£U& here, and Invitations tre principally to supper--a substantial, plain meal. Yet there is the most constant ami, easy sociality everywhere, and it apparent at once to the stranger, that he is among people of the highest culture and refinement. Money seems to be spent readily on entertainments in music and art, and for social enjoy- ment; but not much for mere luxury and display. When a Berlin scholar or man of business gives a party he docs it in a simple, inexpensive way--gen­ erous enough in its provisions but not of a very costly kind. If he would ride out with his family he quietly takes a droshky (cab). None but a few saperanniiated noblemen sport our New York equipages. Something of all this is due, without doubt, to the small mean? of the people, but more to their good sense. Towards the for­ eigner. too, there Is less of outward hospitality than in ether German cit­ ies. But the want is more than made up by the lively, easy, intellectual in­ tercourse into which he can be ad­ mitted, and the genuine interest taken in him, if he has anythiug worth being interested in.--trace's Home fe Germany. How the Ked Men Gat the (*•«* «f Kallroad Company. The India::* ot the Wa)kerLakc Res­ ervation feel very happy since their victory over Mr. Yerington and the Carson and Colorado Railroad. It ap­ pears that when the railroad company treated for the right of way through the reservation, the Indians agreed to receive, in lull pay, $700, atnl the right to ship free Oifer the road lorever«juiy fi»h or QUier pj-oduce »-hich th^ JaJght ^ »im»' thorne and the Mound House,, Walker Lake is swarming with lino trout* but the Indians did not find the trade very profitable when the item of transpor­ tation began to be figured on. The catch, therefore, was limited by tho slim facilities for finding a market be­ fore the fish spoiled. When the new road reaches Walker Lake the Indians will be the bosses of th» fish market of the State. The Indians say that If Mr Yerington had known how many fish they catch in a day he would never have entered Into scich a contract.
