JIM WILKINS AND THE EDITORS
By T'orHER ONE.

By r'ornER ONE.
| respectfully dedicate the subjoined
reminiscence to the Junior editor of the
Montgomery Flag and Advertiser. 1t
burst in upon my memory. the other
morning, while reading pungent poli-
Ell article which emanated, as suppos-
ed, from his pen.
During the exciting Presidential cam
paign of 1874, there were published in
= thriving village in this State, two polit-
ical papers, which (as 'twould not be
proper to give the real namcs,) we will
call the "Star" and the Gazette" The
"Star" was Democratic sheet; and of
course battled enthusiastically for Mr..
Polk. The Gazette" on the other hand,
WIS thoroughly Wing, and no more-at
she period to which we refer-doubted
the election of Henry Clay, than it did
the shining of the sun. or any other fixed
physical fact These two papers were
edited by gentlemen of about the same
aye, eni of not dissmilar temperamcnts.
In fact they had not strong social pro-
clivities, and were very good friends nine
tenths of the time; there being only an
occasional interruption of good feeling.
when something rather too spicy ap-
peared in the columns of one paper or
the other. These disagreeable things,
however, became more frequent as the
p'litical battle waxed hotter; but even
then, at the end of every week, there was
general adjustment of i'll personal mat
ters--the hoys PiCkWicksd, and,-shall
tell il generally got gloriously fuddled
together. They both, / believe, do bet
Ter nor, but Then : ah, the headaches.
One Saturday afternoon. at the end of
particularly spicy week between the
p,pers--thc Star. having spoken of the
"damnsk cheek of its neighbor," and the
Gszette having r"torted upon tn. "Bar-
dolphian nose" of the Stars cdi or--the
two gentlemen were seen to enter an es-
tnblishntent where "sugar and water with
the 1,riviliss" might be obtained in one
room. aud n g,me of billiards played in
smother. They had had perchance, an
explanation, in which mutual declarations
Of Pickwick had been nude. However,
they went in lovingly. rmi in arm,
Walking up TO the bar.
"What shall it be ?" asked Sta,
"Cocktails." said Ga-ette; and oos
t,iis II was.
"Here." said Star. touching the rim OF
his companions glass with the bottom of
his own "herc Is to the Free,iom of the
Press, whether the same advocate the
c!aims of the excited patriot James K.
Polk; or takes ground for the embodimen,
osall that is----"
Hold on there You'll be on my toes
directly, exclaimed the Gazette; "drink

one would think it was sufficiently free

papers without paying for .hem!"
"The freedom of the press, hen!'

SpEEcnMAKINo.--I is we'll known all

SPEEcnMAKINe.--It is we'll known all
men are not "orators as Brutus" was, and
some men of fine talents have been found
utterly wanting in the gift of speechma-
king. Some of the journals are laughing
at Gen. Taylor's attempts upon the ros-
trum. but he is not the only distinguished
man who has made bad fist of speech
making, as the following anecdote proves:
When the chival,ous Hull broke the
spell of England's supremacy on the O.
ceap, by the capture of the Guerrero, on
his return TO port he was complimerted
by the citizens of Boston with public
dinner. The cloth being removed, after
a few preliminary toasts, came that 10 the
honor of the captain "Our gallant guest,
who has secured to himself name and
praise among his countrymcn, and add
ed terror to the courtesy of his oountrv's
flag" The toast was drunk with enthusi
asm, and then all was quiet
A friend, sitting next TO the gallant cap
tain, said, "Sir, we are waiting for your
speech. ga speech W said the chivalrous
but modest Hull, 81 can't make one--I
don't know" A gentleman on the onpo-
size side of the table exclaimed, audibly,
"Sir, you arc in for speech. Don't you
see that the President is waiting for your
response to the asts?" The noble tar
rose up and said :--"Mr. President, the
gentlemen round me say that you and the
other gentlemen are waiting for me 10
make Speec' Sir, I never made one
in my life. / can't do it, sir. don't
know how, sir. BY -, I'd rother fight
The battle over again than try III"
Dencdations upom the Ma1s-Snce
the beginning of June, says the New
York Sun, there has been robbed from
mails between Batavia and Rochester, in
drafts and certificates of deposits $4,000.
The Bank of Geneva alone has lost in
that way $4,000. A large amount of
money has also been abstrac,cd from let
ters going east from Buffalo.

How TO GET UP A Row WITH YouR
WlFE.-'Fake her to the theatre. Select
the prctliest gill in the house, and keep
your lorgnette pretty constantly fixed on
her. Remark to your wife that that is
the style of beauty you admire. Wife
will get fidgcty and cross. Observe
what an odd thingit is, no woman can
bear to be told of anybody being pret,ier
than herself. The row will thus be put
in good train, and you can make it more
or less strong, as you please. Second
plan. Wait until your wife is at her toll
ct, preparing to 90 out. She will be
sure to ask you if her b. met is siraiyht.
Remark that the lives of nine-tentbs of
women arc passed in thinking whether
their bonnets are straight. seasoning the
observation with general series of re.
Elections on the whole sex as being a set
OF dressy humbugs, and winding up with
a remark, that you never saw but one
gHl who had any common sense about
hcr. Wife will ask who that was. You
with a sigh reply "Ah! never you mind"
Wife will ask why you did not marry her
then. You say abstractedly "Ah! why
indeed?" The rowiss safely under weigh.
Thlnl plan. Tell your wife that YOU are
going to Paris 70? n. month. She will
ask to accompany you. Reply that it is
out OF the question you are going upon
business, Wife will ask what business.
Answer that it is d secret which am not
justified in revealing. Wife will saw
"Ah! apretty ort of business, that you're
AFRAID to tell your wife Of" Do YOU
now keep silent, and the lady will finish
The operation of getting up row her
self.

Our Comn.rc,., Correspondence.

The letter of our New York correspondent will be
found in another columns and ask readers to give
it an attentive examination The author OF the letters
which we publish weekly has won for himself a high
reputation perhaps, than that of any commercial
writer in our country. His facts may always be relied
on. and his deductions are able and philosophical
The money market continues easy, and the operation
Of the revenue bill of 1876 continues to be satisfactory
The low prices of food in England and the low rates Of
money, combined with the liberal policy OF the United
States, has maintained the prices Of great agricultural
staples, notwithstanding the increased export This is
phenomenon which be accounted for by that phos
ophy which teaches protection and restriction Accord
ing to all the rules of political economy, taught by
whg statesmen, currency ought to be deranged our
treasury bankrupt, farm produce worthless, and the
nation grooming under hopeless foreign debt But
Of these things have happened will they happen
unless the administration should madly undertake to de-
stroy system OF commercial policy which has brought
nothing but blessings in its train Our correspondent in
forms us that the export of cotton to Great Britain from
LIST OF September to 18th June 35i,s4s bales
than that OF the period last year-beng increase
OF thirty five per cent Notwithstanding that great in
crease prices have advanced sixteen per cent. But we
have not space give full analysis of correspond
ent's letter; and we must ask readcrs-more espe
cally the armers-to examine the letter ITSELF 1t will

of the example set by the French republic in appointing
for ambassadors and ministers able and eminent
who only distinguished for their scientific attain

and have knowledge Of the people by familiar personal
intercourse with them Such man is NJ Poussn, the
intelligent and distinguished representative of the French
republic Having been service, and thoroughly
acquainted with institutions, an appointment more
acceptable TO our people could not have been made.
He has fully justified the good sense Of his government
in appointing him, by the vigilance with which he has
watched over its interests and by the popularity among
our citizens which he has acquired by the simplicity and
dignity OF manner which has marked his intercourse with
