of their duty seems to be equally vague
and unde6nable. Some editors, with
kind of Paul Pry obstrusiyeness,p poke
their heads into the parlor ofthe pri-
vate citizen, and give as important
to their readers what they hear passing
there; whilst others, having a more ac-
curate conception of their duties, never
pass the threshold of private life TO find
matter for their paper-never expose
toithe public gaze the foibles of the
family circle, or the peccadillous
heart. Some of blackened heartand
malignant mind, TO whom adventurous
circumstances may have given a con-
troll oftype, spit out their saliva 'pro-
miscuously" on all, from the highest
in public favor, and most distinguish
ed Tor their patriotism and virtues, to
hose most debashed and lowest in the
scale of morality. And this unwar-
rantable conduct they miscall the ''lib-
erty Of the press" Several readers
of news papers seem equally, and in
the other extreme, at fault. They
think that even when they come be-
fore the people as supplicants for their
suffrages, as solicitors of their votes,
their political position or public char
acter should not be alluded 10 in the
public prints, nor referred to in public
debate. Such men have, indeed, a
limited idea of the liberty of the press,
contracted knowledge ofthe freedom
Of debate; andEtbe sooner they retire
from the public stage to give room to
men of more enlarged minds the bet
ter. No public man, in our opinion,
should object to have his public acts
scanned and his pub lie measures can
vassed; but than this, no father should
the press go.
When an editor opens the curtain o.
private life, and places a mans private
transactions before the microscopic eye o.
the public, he is guilty of base prostitu
ton ofhls fortuitous power. and the liber.
ty ofthe press, when applied TO the eman.
atoms ofhs mind, becomes a misnomer
| The pubic have much to gain by stric
surveillance of men in power and person:
in Office; their official derelictions canno
be too narrowly scanned; their malfeas
ance and corrupt practices cannot be SUI
ficiently reprobated; but the public have
much to lose by encouraging apress who's,
editor is swayed by envy, or influenced b,
a spirit of malevolent detraction. Sucl
an engine is gangrene upon the bod,
polite, and if not timely cut off will in
oculate with ITS poison the whole SO
cial system; it is a wen which disfg
ures the face of the best ordered com
munity.-Pic.

The following brief biography,iro

prove acceptable to our readers:-
Louis Philippe is among the remar-
kable men Of the age. HIS greatness
is the result Of circumstances and ma
tive talent. He left his native country
in September, 1895, and in twenty
seven days arrived in this city, an IN
fortunate and destitute exile. While
here. he occupied the conrer part OF q
house belonging to the Rev. Mr.. Mar
shall. in Walnut, above Fourth street
Congress was then in session, and tho
Prince had an opportunity Of seeing
some ofthe cospicUous actors IN the
revolution. Subsequently he travell
ed through much ofthe western coun
try, then wilderness. He returned
TO the sea-board through New York
When he reached Canandaigua, hi
peculiar means were exhaus ed, an

An elderly gentleman, now residin
there, presented Louis Philippe wit
a pair Of boots, and the old ones, s
we have been told, are now in thepo:

lage. Fortune has been capricioI
with him. Sometimes her frown
have been whitening and cold, and the
again her smiles have been sunny ar
