Editing q Paper.

Hear what the National Intelligencer says
about editing newspaper:
Many people estimate the ability of news
paper, and the industry and talent of its edi-
tor by the editorial matter it contains. 1t is
comparatively an easy task for frothy wri-
ter to pour out daily columns Of words
words upon any and all subjects. His ideas
may flow in one wishy washy everlasting
flood, and his command Of language may en-
able him to string them together like onions;
and yet his paper may be meagre and poor
concern. But what is the toll Of such man
who displays his loaded matter largely to that
imposed on judicious, well-informed editor,
who exercises his vocation with an hourly
consciousness of his responsibilities and du-
ties, and devotes himself to the conduct of
his paper with the same care and assidnity
that sensible lawyer bestows upon suit,
a humane physician upon patient. without
regard to show or display! Indeed. the mere
writing part Of editing paper, is but small
portion of the work. The care, the time en-
ployed in selecting, is far more important,
and the tact of good editor is better known
bv his selections than anything else. and that
we all know is half the battle. But as we
have said. an editor ought to be estimated,
and his labors understood and appreciated,
by the general conduct Of his paper. its tone,
its temper, its uniform consistent course, its
principles, aims. its manliness, its dignity and
propriety.. To preserve these ashley should

GA statistical table appearing in Hunt'a
Magazine states that the depostes of California
gold at the Mnts Of coinage since its first dlscoy
ery up to the first of June, amounts in round num-
bers to S1l9, 5000 600; to this add "a 600 for
June, and the amount thus in hand is 600.
It is probably safe to estimate the total production
of the California mines to 18th July, at nearly
500, ,OOO, 600. The exports of gold from New
York to foreign ports since the lst of January last
are $4,000, 900, and from other ports about 81
100000. 9he import from abroad, regularly en-
tered at the Custom House, N. T.. are about 81
100000. In addition to this, large sum In for
eign coin is brought each month in the hands of
immigrants The total exports Of coin from the
country says the Magazine since the hrst receipts
mons still leave an increase of between forty and
fffv millions of dollars, part of which has been
added to the amounts on deposit in the banks, and

Three MilIionaires.

A New Orleans paper of standing has
some curious commentaries on the lives OF
several rich men, recently deceased in that
city. OF John McDonough it thus speaks:-
He had two passions--notoriety and
accumulation. These he pursued through a
long, niggardIy, and single life, and these he
exhibited in his will. He clutched at his
bonds, and titles, and money-bags in his dy-
ing moments; and by will both silly and
intricate, and fruitful of fraud, and contro-
versy-a mirror of his characterize sought
to control and administer them after death
He cut his neglected relations off with a
shilling, and bequeathed the enormous ag-
ming to communities that will never plant a
flower DER his grave, or moisten it with a
tear"
Here is sketch of another -
"Joseph Fowler was a cold, selfish, cyni-
cal, vulgar man, without a scintilla of soul,
who lived for himself alone, thinking neither
of his suffering kindred in this world, nor of
God and eternity. He was the slave of the
almighty dollar all his life, and died, at last,
without having the courage to make will,
or the grace to make, by public charities,
some reparation for the selfishness of his
lfe His relations, who vainly in his life
time implored the crumbs that fell from the
rich mans table, will now, it is hoped, re-
ceive and enjoy the magnificent estates
which he accumulated by exertion and coin
ed out of tears and restitution"
The third is referred to as follows
"Cornelius Paulding was better man
than either of these. He was frigid, penu-
rious and exacting. But he sometimes gave,
and gave freely. For many years he had
been member of the Baptist church; and at
various periods, after he removed to New
Orleans, he provided place Of worship for
his brethren, and rendered his house as a
residence for the minister. Several clergy
men came to reside with him, but notwith-
tanding their habits of self-denial, he
starved them all out. Nor did the church
thrive any better under his auspices. The
government Of the Baptists is pure democ-
racy. All power resides in the members,
and even the prejudice that excludes women
from participation in government is not re-
cognized. All are equals; and the minister
in that church, out Of the pulpit, has no
more power than one his flock. This form
of government was not adapted 10 the dispo-
sition of Mr. Paulding. He was arbitrary
and dictatorial; and the result was, that the
Baptists in that city, though few in number
and poor, preferred to worship in obscure
places, rather than to occupy the splendid

Napolean on Theatres.

Napoleon was very desrous of having his
court model of decorum and Of morals
Lucien owned beautiful rural mansion near
NeuiIly. Upon the occasion he invited Ma
poleon, and all the inmates Of Malmaison,
to attend some private theatricals at his
dwelling. Lucen and Eliza were the per-
formers in a piece called Alzire. The ardor
of their declaration, the freedom Of their
gestures, and above all the indelicacy of the
costume which they assumed, displeased Ma
polean exceedingly. AS soon as the play
was over he exclaimed, 1t is scandal. /

The Flag of England.

We extract the following remarks from
the Hon. w. H. Stewards speech in tho
Senate of the U. S., July %, 1852.
pray to know where you will 60 that you
will not meet the flag of England fixed,
planted, rooted into the very earth' If you
go northward, it waves over half Of this
Continent Of North America, which we call
our own. If you 60 southwark, 1t greets you
on the Bermudas, the Bahamas, and the Ca
ribbee Islands. On tho Falkland Islands it
guards the Straits of Magellan; on the
South Shetland Islands it watches the pas
sage round the Horn; and to Adelaide Is
land it warns you that you have reached the
Antarctic Circle. When you ascend along
the southwestern coast Of America, it is seen
at Galapagos, overlooking the Isthmus of
Panama; and having saluted it there, and at
Vancouver, you only take leave of it ia the
far Northwest, when you are entering the
Arctic Ocean. If you visit Africa, you find
the same victorious cross guarding the coast of
Gambia and Sierra Lione and st. Helena
It watches you at Cape Town as you pass
into the Indian Ocean; while on the northern
passage to that vast sea, it demands your
recognition from Gibraltar, as you enter the
Mediterranean; from Malta, when you pass
through the Siciian Straits; on the Ionian
Islands it waves in protection Of Turkey;
and at Alden it guards the passage from the
Red Sea into the Indian Ocean. Whenever
Western Commerce has gained an entrance,
to the Continent of Asia, there that flag is
seen waving over subjugated millions-at
Bombay, at Ceylon, at Singapore, at Cal.
cutta, at Lahore, and at Hong Kong; while
Australia and nearly all the islands Of Poly
nesia acknowledge its protection.

A Story with a Moral.

Mr.. Bones, OF the firm of Fossil, Bones s
Co., was one of those remarkable money
making men whose uninterrupted success il
trade had been the wonder, and afforded the
material for the gossip of the town for seven
years. Being of familiar turn of mind, he
was frequently interrogated on the subject,
and invariably gave as the secret of his sue
cess, that he minded his own business.
A gentleman met Mr.. Bones on the Assam
pink bridge. He was gazing intently on the
dashing, foaming waters as they fell over the
dam. He was evidently in brown study.
Our friend ventured to disturb his cogta-
tions.
"Mr. Bones, tell me how to make thou
sand dollars
Mr.. Bones continued looking intently at
the water AT last he ventured reply.
Do you see that dam, my friend %
6" certainly do"
Well, here you may learn the secret of
making money. That water would waste
away and be of no practical use to anybody
but for the dam. That dam turns it to good
account makes it perform some useful pur-
pose, and then suffers it to pass along. That
large paper-mill is kept in constant motion by
this simple economy. Many mouths are fed
In the manufacture of the article of paper,
and intelligence is scattered broadcast over
the land on the sheets that are daily turned
out; and in the different processes through
which it passes, money is made. So it is in
the living of hundreds of people. They get
enough money. Itpasses through their hands
every day, and at the years end they are
no better off. What's the reason? They
want dam. Their expenditures are in
creasing, and no practical good is attained
They want them damned up, so that nothing
will pass through their hands without bring
ing something back-without accomplish
ing some useful purpose. Dam up your ex-
penses, and you'll soon have enough occa-
sionally to spare little, just like that dam
Look at it, my friend !'-Irenton True

Rules for Success in Business.

In the appendix to Freedley's Practical
| Treatise on Business, are several letters
from men Of approved sagacity and success
in life. The following from John Grigg
contains many things that are well worthy Of
regard:
FIRST. Be industrious and economical
Waste neither time nor money in small and
useless pleasures and indulgences. g If the
young can be induced to begin to sare, the
moment they enter on the paths Of life the
way will ever become easier before them,
and they will not fail to attain competency,
and that without denying themselves any Of
the real necessaries and comforts Of life.''
Second. To industry and economy add
self-reliance. DO not take too much ad-
rice. The business man must keep at the
helm and steer his own ship"
Third. Avoid excessive credits "There
are three elements equally beneficial in their
use, equally destructive in their abuse
These are Fire, Water, and Banks"
Fourth. Attend to the nliautie of the bus
mess, small things as well as great. See
that the store is opened early, goods brush
ed up, twine and nails picked up, and all
ready for action. ga young man should
consider capital, if he have it, or as he may
acquire it, merely as tools with which he is
to work, not as a substitute for the necessi-
ty of labor"
Fifth. Marry early. "The man of bus
mess should marry as soon as possible, after
twenty-five or three years of age. A wo-
man of mind will conform to the necessities
of the day of small beginnings, and in choo-
sing wife, man should look at lst The
heart; I'd. The mind; Sd. The person."
S;rth. " Follow duty, and never let truth
strike her topsail.
Serenth. Everything, however remote,
that has any bearing upon success must be |
taken advantage Of "The business mani
should be continually on the watch for infor-
nation, and ideas that will throw light on his
path, and he should be an attentive reader
of all practical books, especially those relating
o business, trade, &c., as well as a patron of
Useful and ennobling literature"
Eighth. "Never forget favor, for in
gratitude is the basest trait in mans heart |
Always honor your country, and remember
hat our country is the very best poor mans
country in the world"
