Selling an Editor.

We have a good snecdote to relate, of =
deceased friend of ours, and as it has lain
dormant in our cranium for number Of
years, wen bring it to life for the benefit of
our readers: 30 st-a 'a.,r
Our deceased friend was an editor, and
ike many of his tribe, had queer notions
about men and things in general. One Of
bis particular hobbies was the impression that
unless the thermometer ranged about sixty
FIVE, he would feel rather little "under the
weather" '2 'a a
One cold winters morning, it was about
eight o'clock, and the boys" in the Office
were standing around dismal looking fire,
in dismal looking stove, when the ideR oc-
CURED to the youngest present. who, by the
way, was great practical joker, to have a
"rise" out of the editor Suiting the action
to the thought, he entered the sanctap,, seiz-
cd the thermometer, showed it into the stove,
and in few moments had the mercury up
to ninety-six.
1t was the invariable rule of the "chron-
icler of events" the moment he entered the
office, to look at his unerring "health-reg-
ulator." Presently the well-known step was
heard on the stairs, and the moment the han
die of the door was seized, the thermometer
was hurried out Of the fire, and again hung
on its accustomed nail in the sanctum. In
strobe the editor, and before saluting any
one of the shivering compositors, advanced
to the instrument on which hung all his hopes
Of health for the day. Glancing at the mer-
curry, he became horror-struck-big drops
of perspiration oozed from his brow, and
dropped, plentifully as woman's tears, on
the floor. Rushing intothe composing room,
gasping for breath, he sung out \
= Ny God gentlemen, how is it possible
you can stand this intolerable heat? Open
open the windows quick! It's suffoca-
ting! My God--the Thermometer is ninety
ski It's enough to Kill the devil, it is SO
id hotl It's suffocatingp' A loud guf-
faw proclaimed the t'sell, !" and the editor,
taking the hint, again glanced at the mercury,
which was now down to fifty, and sneaksd
quietly into his corner. That day our editor
"wrote up" sevcral--quires of foolscap.

The New York Courier and Inquirer has
laid before its readers the substance oil the
answer of MIR. Webster TO the Spanish
minister, in reference to the ou,rases at
New Orleans. Mr.. Webster states that the
American Government did all that any
government, under the circumstances, could
do, 10 prevent the outrages. and that cOnse-
uuen,ly, 1t owes neither apology nor repara-
ton. The losses suffered by private inti-
yiduals can be recovered, he says. IN the
courts OF law, against the State OF Louisl,
ana, If not the City Of New Orleans; and
that American cilizeas have, in similar
cases. no better remedy. Mr.. Webster
then in,imates that, under the treaty OF
1895, the United States may have serious
recla nations against Spain. for the massa-
ere Of the American prisoners at Havana.
These unfortunate men, he says, were not
taken with the red hand, but captured. un-
armed, at sea, while engaged in returning
to their own country. They were not form
,llv tried, but only examined by military
commission, and had no opportunity TO
prove the truth Of their assertions. that
thew had invaded Cuba. believing it IN re-
bellion, but that. on discovering their error,
