THE MIMIC PRESS.
An Undiscovered World of Ama
teur Journalism.
AMATEURS AND AMATEUKDOM.
A Curious Revelation of the Tendencies
>of Our Civilization.
Tho tendency ot the use is toward amateardom la
every thing, and almost without the notico of "profes
sional*" ttio amateurs in a number of calling* bave
attained such Immense proportions that they uro
ready to claim a very important rank. That thia ten
dency should be manlfeatod by ''children of a larger
growth," especially iu sporting and theatrical matters,
la perhaps not surprising, but a cloacr scrutiny Into
the subject will show that amatourdom Is conllned In
> great measure to persona In their "teens," aud
that amateur Journalism Is tho chosen Held of
theso aspiring youths. It will bc> news, per
haps, to the readers of tho Hkuald, but it Is
nevertheless true thai as many aa 0,000 amateur Jour
nal* have beou started In the United States and Canada
within a very lew years, and sonio ol theso claim a
target circulation than is accorded to many prosperous
paper* Those amateur sheets vary In size fruia that
ol a postage stamp to tho dimousions ol an ordinary
newspaper, and most of them aro as dull as most of the
Hcrald'h contemporaries. They pottos*, however,
luch a supreme confidence in tholr own
greatness and Importanco that nono ot the
?'professional" Journals can surpass them in solf
esiucm or In vaunting their btgii qualities, A Brook
lyn lad, for lnstanco, has Just started an amateur paper
which ho calls the Staiulard, in the "salutatory" of
which he says:?"Tho columns of tbo Utatulard, will bo
devoted to entertaining and Instructive literature,
each dopartment oeing under thesuporvlslonand man
agement or different editors." Then follows a list of
these editors "of well known reputo," and tho array
Is almost as imposing as that prosontod by Jlurper't,
ScrUiner't or tho Atlantic, "It will bo reudily per
ceived," coutlnues tho confident editor-in-chief, "that
with tho class ol authors ungagod for the Standard
tho quality of the reading matter will he ol the choicest
?elections and will contain nothing immoral or dcgiad
lng iu its influence on tlio youth of dur country. We
have placed the subscription rate at tho nominal sum
of fifty cents, and although tho Utamlard't present size
exceeds that of auy other publication In amatourdom
its next number will contain olght pages."
TI1K PL'11LIC AT ION a IN AMATKCKDOM.
The attention of tho Himali> having beou directed to
this singular development in journalism a reporter
was intrusted with tho Investigation ot tho subject.
The result shows a mimic world ot nowspaperdom
within tho real world of tho pross, and no nation of
pygmies was over moro activo or ontorprislng than is
tho now raco of Lilliputian journalists. Every town
and vlllago almost has Its amatour paper.
One, called tho Aurora, which had reached .the
second number of tho socond volumo, has Just explrod
at St Louisville, an Ohio village ot only 'iuO Inhabitants.
It Is laughable to think, In view of this fact, that the
publication ol tbo Aurora is stopped because Its editor
Is In "expectation of leaving St. Louisville In a short
time." Tho editor, howover, does not loso sight of
No. 1, and in his last Issuo ho gravely announces that
ho would "like to conduct a department devoted to
notions, notos, news, criticisms, &c., in some good
paper." It is worthy of romark, perhaps, that while
tho Aurora was In cxlstenco it was nearly aj largo as
a man's hand. Another Olr.o amatour paper is cailod
the tioy,? Banner, and is published at liollefontalno. It
has rcuchcd its third number, aud the editor says:?
"Now is tho time to sut:scriUo for tho Manner. Now
attractions will constantly be presented, and it will
always bo our aim to secure tho best articles that
money can procure." Tho Amateur Argus, publiahod
at Evansvllle, Ind., is ,|n its second voiume, and has
lor its mono, "Congratulations no object; lucre, or wa
bust." After this the readers of the Hkicald will not
bo surprised at tho following extract from tho Argun:?

In looking over tho lot ol amateur papers with
which Master Fisher supplied tho Hkualu It soon be
came apparent that the journalistic instinct la entirely
linking in those youthlul attempts. Tho elotneni of
huiuor Uuds no place apparently in araateurdoui, and
tho purusul ol a dozen amateur papers lulled to reveal
one bright, happy or original thought. Tho sKcichcs
are dull, tho stories nro lacking lu Imagination und tho
poems aro sombre. In the ilrst number of tho Stand
ard tho poem is entitled "Weep Not for Death," und
It is hard tu realize that a boy wiio assumes the nom
ic flume ol "Muggins" should sing:?
Weep not for death;
' I in but a lever milled,

enough, is an uuconiiuious reflection ol the corrupted

lees and dues were collected in considerable sums, and
it Is very broadly hinted tbui tbo greater purt ot this

Although tho tacts will prove now to uiobt ot tho

largely in presses and other material used by umaiour
publishers, whtlo some printers make work
tor amateurs a specialty. Some ot tho boys even
print ainuiour papers tor other uinateurs, Henry Kabrs,
ol Knst Tbirty-scconu street, being one of the most

is given to amateur Journalism, and ono ot these has

jmyitik Mr. Wright something like {4,<wu in cash and

l.oloro tlio death of tho doctor's wilo he
was ol a genial, jovial nature, and took ureal pndo

a daughter. After Mrs. Watts' death tho deceased
became ol a moody deposition, uud wus retiring lu his

afterward noticed by tliu Irieuds ol tho deceased that
ho was quits ollun under the inlluenco ol liquor, and
when sptikeu to about it ho ropliod that bo did not see

Yesterday morning, when the clerk catno to tbo

Upon his roturn he laid dowu on the couch, and was

FILTH.
The question of cremating tbe city garbage wo
means or uctting rid ol it In tbo most tDolleniiive and
thorough tnunncr, and ot eliminating Ironi tbo allies
anil street sweepings everything that unfit* them for
use as Jioalthy tilling lor city lots, lias been pcriUl
?Dtly advocated by the Hbkald. Objections of all
kinds huvo boon raised to ibis simple plan botb
on tbo grounds of Impracticability and expeci-e.
Tbo practicability ol tba cremation of garbage
depends sololy on tbo energctlc enforcement of tbo
law wbicb decluruts that usbes und garbage shall l>6
separated and kept separate. To say tbut tills descrip
tion of reluso caiinot bo successfully crammed Is at -
surd, for it Is as easy as burning coal or wood.
