those who daringly penotrato hor fortresses to

groat, and rendorod so lively and bowildertnj;
by the hulk's rolling, that, scan her as you
would. It was impossible to mastor dotails'wfth
any sort of rapidity.
Suddenly Iinocene. grasping my wrist Imhor
excltornont, exclaimed. "Seel there iaamsn
there-he eoems to steady hlmsolt by holding
tho wheel look now, Gooffxy. as she rolls hor
decks at usl"
I Instantly saw him. Tho whoel was in fro at
of tho hroak of the poop, whore the cuddy or
round-house windows wero; and erect ul it
stood a man, on tho starboard side, ono hand
down clutching a spoko at his waist, and. hla
left arm straight out to a spoko to larboard,
which he gripped. Methought he wrestled with
tho helm, for no swerved as a stoorsman will
who struggles to koop a ship's head steady in a
M" Iue mad?" cried I. "Ay. it must be sol
famlno, thirst, tnontal anguish, may havo
driven him distracted. Yet. ovon then, why
does not he look toward us? .Why. were ho
notually ravine, surely his sight would bo
courted by our presence."
" Pray God he be not mad." whispered lmo
gene ; ho is certain to bo a sailor and an Lng
Jisbmnn : nnd it ho be mad. and brought hero,
how will those men deal with him I" ,
"Yos: and I say. too. pray God ho bo not
madl" I cried: "for baofc mo with a hearty
English sailor and I bellevo yos. I oould so
match these fellows as to carry the ship, with
out their having the powor to resist mo, to any
port I choso to steer for to tho eastward:" for
with her ory of " Ho is euro to be a sailor and
an Englishman," there swept into my brain the
fancy ot eoeurtng tho crew under hatohos and
Imprisoning Ynndordocken and hts mates in
their cabins the least idle of all tho schemes
tint had presentod thomsolves to me.
"Hush!" Bho exclaimed, breathlessly, and as
she closed hor lips to tho whisper, vandor
decken came up to us. But not to speak. He
stood for some minutes looking at the wreck,
with tho posturo nnd air of ono deeply consid
ering. The seamen forward gazed with a
heavy steadfastnoss, too, some undor tho sharp
of their hands, somo with folded hands. I
koard no Bpoooh among them. Yet though
their stillnesB wns that ot a swoon, their eyes
shone with an oagor light, and expectation
shaped their pallid, doalhllko faces into a high
and straining look.
There wero no signs ot life aboard the wreck,
saving tho llgure ot tho man that swayed at
tho wheel. 1 was amazed that he should novor
glanoo toward us. Indood. I am not suro that
tho whole embodied ghastllness of our Doath
Bhlp matohod In terror what you found In tho
sight ot that lone oroaturo grasping thewheol,
first bringing it a llttlo to right, then heaving
It ovor a little to loft, ll-xodly staring ahead, ;ib
though such another curso as bad fallen upon
this Dutch ship had conio like a blast of light
ning upon him, compelling him to go on stand
ing at yondor holm, nnd vnlnly striving to
steer the wreck as terribly eorpse-llko as any
in in among us. and lis shockingly vital, tool
It struck my English lovo of briskness as
tdrango that Vnndordeokon should not prompt
ly order tho boat over, or givo orders that
should have roforonco to tho abandoned hull ;
yet 1 could not holp thinking that hla Holland
blood spoke In this pause, and that thero In
termingled with tho trnnco-llko condition that
was habitual in him tho phlegmatic instincts
of his nation that gradual walking to a de
Isloa. which in bcotland id termed takiu' a
thoeht." .....
Afturn while ho Bald to mo: "Mynhoor, the
wrook hnth an English namo;Rhowi!l boot
your country, thoreforo. Mnyl begot you to
tuko my trumpet and hall that person standing
at tho whool r ..
" 1 shall not need your trumpot, sir." said I.
at onco climbing upon tho mil and thinking to
myself that 'twas odd if thoro was not wantod
a trumpet with a volco as thunderous as tho
i crack o' doom to bring that sllont, forword-
etarlnz man's fnco round to his Bhouldpr.
1 "Wrock ahoyl" I bawled with my hand to
i my cheek, nnd thn wind took tho echo ol my
I voice clear as a boll to tho hulk.
t I shouted a.'uln, and ot again; then dis
mounted. v, " Ho Is deaf 1" said Vnnderdocken.
i He is deadl"saldl. for this was forced upon
, cio, spltoot the oiectund llfo-llKo posturoot
tho figure, and what resembled tho straining
of Ms arms to steady tho whuol.

hla sinister oyos.
1 wntohod him coldly. Ilemonstrnnco or

and his matos as pity to that unrocking hoart

"What is to bo como nt?"dcmandod nn

Tho othor nnsworod quickly, holding up ono

ensos of this which hath tho smell ot tobacco.
And Is no doubt that plant." And ho pulled out
of his pockot a Btick of tobacco, Buch as Is taken

Vondordoeknn smelt it. "'Tls undeniably

mot mlnoil took tho hint, and snld: 'To bo

imitated tho action ot cutting It.
Homo of tho crow hnd collected on the quar

it was like tho tobacco tho Englishman hnd
Bhown them how to use. 'twas rare smoking 1
Whothor Vnnderdocken had hoard of my visit

to hoar tho sailor's exclamation, saying to mo,
" Yos, mynheor, I soe the convonlonco of such
tablots : they hold much nnd nre oaslly flakod."
And then, swooping tho sea and skies with hla
eyes, he criod: " Got tho otbor boat ovor: tnko
a working party in her nnd lenvo thorn aboard
to break out tho cargo. Tho smaller boat will
tow hor to and fro. Arents, you will havo

laar. will bring off the gootls nnd superintend
thotrnnihlpmonts Away, nowl There is stuff
enough thero to fill tho hollowost cheek with
fat and to sweeten tho howl of a galo into
melody. Away, then!"
Thero wns excitement in his words, but nono
in his rich nnd thundorous volco, nor in bis
niannnr; nnd, though thore seemod a sort ol
bustlo in tho way tho men went to work to
hoist cut tho largo boat, it was the very ghost
of hutTy, as unlike tho hearty leaping of sail
ors, Ilred with expectation, as nro tho tvvitch
ings of oloctrlfiod muscles to the motions ot
halo limbs oontrollod by healthy intelleot.
Yet. to a mariner, what could surpass the in
terest ot si; oh a scono? As I leaned against
the oulwarc with Imogono, watching the little
boat towina tho big ono over the swell, with
now a lUtl'jg that put the leaning, toiling, fig
ures ot the rowors cloar against tho delicate,
vaporous Dim over the sky at tho horizon, the
red blades Of the oars glistening llko rubles ns
they flash id out ot tho water, and the white
hoads ot 'the little surges which wrinklod ties
liquid Ifol ds (molting oil about tho boats into
oroamina silver, radiant with Bait ralnbovfs
and prist natlc glories; and now a sinking that
flungod thorn out of sight in a hollow passed
he rour id. dark-blue hock, oil whobe slant our
ancient fabrlohad lust now rollod. I sabi to
my de.r one: "Hero Is a sight I would not

"If thoy know their doom thoy would not,

THE M-WSPArER OP TO-DVT.
Tho intellectual outfit of a modern newppi
per presents just us great a contrast to that
which was known forty or fifty voire ago. us
tho mechanical outfit does. You go into tho
ofilco ot such a pnpor. for instance, as tho Aew
1 ork Tribune nnd you vvill llnd thoro a small
nrmy of Intellectual laborers, each appointed
to his particular task, onch pursuing Ills ; o
cullur duty, and all combining to produce
ovory morning that wonderful rcbUlt which wo
mny woll call "tho modem nowspnncr."
Former tlmos know nothing of It. It is a. thing
entirely beyond tho conoeptlon of tho people of
forty or lltty oars ago. Thero 1b in such nn
establishment. In tho llrst place, a trained staff
ot roportors, accomplished men. mon familiar
with every brunch ot study that Intellectual
yonng men ordinarily dovoto thomselvcs to,
mon who have prepared thomselvcs olthor
by eollcgo studios or by practical llfo In
their departments for the neculinr duty
that thoy havo undortakon: and thoy nro men
of oxtrnordlnary talont. knowing tho world
woll. able to see through a deception, nnd some
times able to sot one up. Laughter.) Then
thero is tho stall ot correspondents In other
plnoes and In othor countrios. 'Why, it will
happen to the odltor of a Now York pnpor, for
instance to go down to his oP.leo in tho morn
ing and to send a man fro n Loudon to bt
l'etorsburg in order to report something that
is going to happen four or ilvo days later. Iho
modorn newspaper literally has Its lingers
reaching out toward ovorr quarter ot tho globe,
and every finger Is sensitive nnd every nerve
brings back tho treasures of Intulloctunl wealth
that uro stored up thore. and a photograph of
tho occurences of llfo that are thoro taking
place. And then there Is a sopnrate corps of
writers, editorial writers, each man having his
own special lino of subjects, literary, religious,
scientific, artistic, historical, political; nnd
enoh peculiarly qualified by special knowlodgo
and training for that particular department of
the great work.
The pocunlnry expenditure of snch a nows

aTaporas the .iVcm York. Tnbunr or-Nfi" l'or
Herald at an avorage of from $20 000 to $35,000

talont and of nil theso resources, directed by
trained intolloct, watching all tho occurrences
of tbe world, in order to bring them togothor
and pre3ont thorn to tho public ovory (lav, that
produces tho phenomenon that wo call tho
modem newspaper.
THE BION OP ADVANCFD CTVIXIZATIOV.
Of courso, Buch a fact .with this immouso ex
penditure and this greut concentration ol varied
intellectual faculties, is only possible in n
very populous country, whero civilization lb far
advanced, and whoro tho people evor whero
demand that kind ot intellectual product, that
great work of human art which wo cull a mod
orn nowspapor. In a country thinly Bottled, in
a poor country, tho thing could not be pro
duced nor paid for; neither could wo find that
amount of intelligence and intellectual cultiva
tion which aro requisite In order to accomplish
such a result. It Is thon tho country which
furnishes tho powor to tho odltor nnd proprie
tor of a newBpnpor to porform this great intel
lectual work; and it is a suro mark ol high
intolloctunl development that anj country 1b
ablo to provide such a thing nnd to support It,
and not meroly to support one or two p iners.
such ub tho 'Jribuue and tlio Herald, which I
havo mentlonod. but many others invnrious
large cities, nil similarly worthy to be hold up
te your admit ation as specimens of tho highest
form of human Intellectual ptoduction that wo
aro yet acquainted with.
THE MUIrirLICITT OP NEWSPAPERS.
The multiplicity of newspapers is also an
other fenturo of our American civilization.
Tho number of thorn hero farexcoods t ha num
ber ot thoso found In uny other lnmh 'iho
moBt pojmlous countrios of Europe, Germany
and Lnglaud, havo not so mnny newspapers In
proportion to tho population as we havo In this
country: nor nrothoeeot tho llrst rank Beat
torcd abroad in such a v nriety of iilneo" as hero.
That is another peculiarity of tho United
Btatos. In tho British kingdom wo llnd ihieo
or four papers In London, ono or two In Edin
burgh, nnd ono or two in Munehoster. bo that
In tho vvholo of tho Dritlsh Islands thero nro

which I havo attempted to describe. Tho peo
ple don'twnnt them: thoy mo not nblo to sup

quite them. Thej nre Bntislled for tho most
purtwlth an Inferior kind of nnvspuper width
is produced In their own towu.cr viththc Lon
don now spapor which thev cot at a Inter hour
in the day, in Liig'nud also thero lu this groat
dlfferenco. thnt thcio Is a grc.it lending of
Wickly nowspnpeis: people are willing to wait
a week thoro to llnd out the news. Thevvorll
inUhl bo revolutionized nud they would not
know It until their v.ockly nowspapor camo
uronnd. In this country thero Is no town of
any Importance which has iot from ono to h ilf
ndo7cu daily pnpeis. JJut It Is not the enso In
England, neither Is it tho ensu in (lormauy,
which Is tho country next to England In point
of general intelligence, Thoio nro voty few
ilist-mto pnpois in (lermiuiy, not ono nny
wlioro which is toboeoinpiucd to the American
nowspapor in tho variety of news thnt it fur
nlbhon, in tlio amount of rosoiucos thnt me
nppllod to it, or genorally lu the ability with
which it is conducted, The German news
papers ate llko tlto Herman learned men, ex
ceedingly learned but not nlwr-vs iu contact
with tho living sentlmont of tho people. They
pursue thoir own theories ronioto from the
pooplo nnd do not feel their puis,) and know
their thoughts and uudorstnnd thoir
hearts at all times. This Is tho busi
ness, of tlio Ammlean odltor. Ho must
know what the people think: lie must
know what thoy fool, nnd ho must speak
their Ideas, or his wholo work will bo iu vain.
Thoro Is noquostlon butthat tho ntinoHphoro
of freedom Is essential to tho production ot a
llrst-rato nowspapor.
A FBXZ COUNUIV AND A Pl.KB rill'-bS.
A country whero thoro Is unythlng ap
proaching to despotism, either politically or
scolally, is not suited to the growth ot news
papers. Thnt Is one reason vrby thero nro bo
many of them In this country and of Hueb great
excellence. It Is tho freedom, it is the ability
to crow, which belongs to American things, nnd
does not belong in the sumo Ben.se, so far an I
nm uwnre, to things In other countries. We
siiy. fur instance, that 1 rnuco 1b n free country.
It Is a republic certainly, and jet, when ou
como to tnku a 1'ione'i nowspapor, you find
that It Is altogether upon a lower plane: tho
noto Is pitched In another gov : it is not tho
samo sort of combination. It Is like the old
farhloned nowspnpers which woro Beon In
this countiy and England forty or fifty
roars ago Thoro will bo ono pownr
ui, well-written os6ay which is callod
an editorial, nnd tho rest of the paper
will bo comparfltlvoly inforlor. The col
lection of nows will be exceedingly imperfect
? There is no French newspaper to be compared,
or Instance, to the 'frlbunt or the Herald, in
the universality of Us reports, in. the Industry
with which they are collected, or la the, general
xuntuul ftcouxacy ol the nerfi wuleh it far-.
nishos. The reason for this fact I find in tho
groat social freedom thnt exists in this country,
whero every Intellectual plant grows vigor
ously and boars Us fruit without hindrance
from any quarter. ....
T he nowspapor must bo tnundod upon human
nature, . It must correspond to tho wants ot
the peonlo. It must furnish that sort ot In
formation which tho pooplo demand, or else it
nnvor can bo successful. Tho llrst thing which
nn odltor must look fori iiovvb. If the news,
paiior hns not tho iiew. it mny havo everything

nnd by nows I mean evervthlngthiit ocotirs,
everything which Is of human interest, and
which Is of RiifTlciPtit Impoilnneo to arrest and
nbsorbtho attention or thu public or of any con
Mdorablo part of It. Thoro Is a great disposi
tion In Biiino quarters tnfavthat the news
papers oli'iht to limit thonmouptof nows thnt
they print; that certain kinds of nows ought
not to be published. I do not know how that

THS OllECT BCIIOOtk
Tho man In this world who is going to play
a pan as a to ichor and advisor to tho public,
muutknow. If ho is to toach wh-oly and suc
cessfully, what are the interewtB. what aie tho
pin poses, what arc the Ideas, and what mo tho
needs of the people that he is to address and
instruct, Coilego education is of high voluo;
the life of the family, whatevor cultivates tho
affections, is of a higher value; but thn actual
contact of buMnoss, tho understanding tlio
rules of business and tlio moans and methods
of business. I think are quito as necessary to
tho newspaperman, bo that after ho has got
through with college, after he has had the best
school education thnt hts father and his frlonds
can glvo him, how is thero any chanco for a
special Instruction in journalism to bo added
to his college cour-o ? How is that going to do
him any great good? now Is a professor who
teaches journalism, and who sits up in his
chair and delivers generalities on tho subject,
going to help forward the ambitious young
man who Is anxious to lay hold of ono of tho
groat prizes for thoro nro groat prlzos that
aro to bo drawn In this Intolloctunl lottery I
do not boo how a collogo Instruction in journal
ism can bo ot any adequate praotlcal use.
Tho school which takes tho young minister
and carries him through a courso ot theology,
church history, omllotlcs, dialectics, philoso
phy, and metaphysics. Instructs him In tho
essentials of his profession, nil after his col
legs course Is completod. bo It is in the ease
of a phvslelan lio studies anatomy, phj Bi
ology nnd chemistry, nnd fits himself in that
way for tho professional work that he Is to per
form. Hut it I v Impossible, in my judgment,
that thoio should bo any special school which
will tnko a young man Intending to pursue tho
profession of jouninlism, after ho has tlnlshod
his collogo studies, and glvo him much valtiu
bio Instruction In tho dutios nnd labors of his fu
ture professional life, and In that genoral expo
rienco In business which I recommend us moRt
indispensable. Thoro is only ono school for
that purpose, and thnt is tho newspaper office
and tho better tho newsnuper office, the moro
complete tho moiovnriou and tho moro ex
tensive the labois that it alms at and per
forms, and tho boltor educated the young man
who is going to learn his trade thoro, tho moro
effectually will he loam it. Tho nowspapor
ofilco is tho host post-graduato college that tho
student of tho nowspnper professiou can havo.
Lot him got tho best oducatlon possiblo and
then go to work in a now simnor office, and
the better tho odltor tho bottor tho instruction.
A FEW MAXIMS.
Thoro Is no system of maxims or profosslonnl
rules that 1 know of that Is 1 ltd down for the
guldiinco ot the journalist. '1 he phvslelan has
his systom of ethics and that sublime
oathof iliiipoerates which human wisdom has
never trnnscendod. Tho lnwver also lias his
eoilo of ethics, and tho rulos of tho courts: nnd

Thnt Is n pretty genoral code, hut It eeeras to
me it covers Iho case very woll,
hie row En op the ritnss,
Thero is another point that I would like to
touch upon, und that is the quostlon of tho
power ot tho press. Wo undf rstntid thnt tho
press Is a puworlul ngent. It takea men when
their lnfoimation Is Incomplete, when their
reasoning has not yot be n worked out, when
their opinions nro not ot llxod. and It suggests
and li.tlmiites and Insinuates nn opinion and a
judgment which oftentimes the man. unless ho
is a man of groat intelligence and force
of chai.ictoi, ndopts us somothlng estab
lished und conciudod. Thnt is one part
of tho power of tho pioss. It is n
power and Inllueneu which is exorcised ovor
thomliulsof people, often wltnout any knowl
edge or any criticism on tho part of the
person who Is subject to It. lint Is in the
nature of tho cato. Ido not soo how It can bo
changed, exeunt as tho Individual boooines
mniii Intelligent and moro able to form, and
puldo his own judgmeut, nnd to oinunclpato
hliiihelf from this Mort of siiKgostivo influence
and control. Hut Hint dor-s not happen to
ovnrrbods. In that way thero Is a real and ro
markablo power in tho ress and it is a powor
that inspires mo alwajs with a very noleinn
Bonso ot responsibility. Hero you takp tho
mind of a man, und without his knowing It jou
Hhano it. jou direct it, you send him along on a
rood which ho doos not know, and, very often,
which jou do not know, Applause.l That,
howuvei, is not what I mean wnon I sponk of
tho power ol the press; and the powor that I
nin now loforr ngtols somothlng which may
be of much greater importance.
To gj back a few joaiB, I romombor when
we had In this country un Immense ant fnr
lonohlng conlroveiBy which took hold of. the
honrtn and lives of tho wholo pooplo. ovor
tho question of slavory. Then tho press
wad divided, somo on ono sido nnd eomo
on tho othor, but thoso ,who woro on tho
othor nro not so proud of It now. lAnrluuee.l
Thoro wns a great power, and for tho most part
It was oxerclsed by tho prosa for tho good of
the people, and wo rojolce now ns we look
baok upon that mighty eontrovemj. tboeo ot
u whoso fortune It wus to boar somo
part In it, at the gient result that
was dually achieved achieved as it was
through blood and lire nnd tears that havo
lolt upon this country nnd upon tho history of
t ho world a mark that novor will bo obliterated.
(Continued applause.l That is what I mean by
the power ot the press: tho power of spoaklng
out the bentlraont of the reople, the volco ot
Justice, tho inspiration of wisdom, the deter
mination of patriotism ond tho heart ot tho
whole pooplo. Cheers Hut if the press goes
wrong In suoh oases, as those friends of ours
did woo were on the other side in that contro
versy, their judgment, their labor, toalr power

Thoro i, howevor, another funotlon of the

now been epeaklnit of, nnd which Ifl perhaps,
even moro momentous lu this, free country
our Constitution puts. Into thu hands of tho
