Editing a Paper.

Hear what the National In,ellgencer says
about editing newspaper -
Many people estimate the ability of a news
paper, and the industry and talents Of its editor
by the editorial matter it contains. 1t is com-
paratively an easy task for frothy writer to
pour out daily columns Of words-,cords npon
any and all subjects. His ideas may flow in
one weak, washy, everlasting 1ood,' and his
command of language may enable him 10 string
them together like punches of onions and yet
his paper may be a meagre and poor concern.
Bat what is the labor, the toll of such man,
who displays his loaded matter, even so large
ly, TO that imposed on the judicious, well-in-
formed editor, who exercises his vocation with
an hourly consciousness of his responsibilities
and duties, and devotes himself 10 the Conduct
of his paper, with the same care and asslduty
that sensible lawyer bestows upon suit, a
humane physician upon patient, without re-
gard TO show or display! Indeed, the mere
,criting 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 better shown by 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 la
bors understood and appreciated, by the
general conduct Of his parer- its tone, its
temper. its uniform consistent course, lis
principles and aims, its tnaniness, It's dlgni-
~ and prorrie,y. To preserve these as they
should be preserved. is enough TO occupy
fully the time and attention oi any man. II TO
this be added the general supervision of the
newspaper establishment, which most edi-
tors have to encounter the wonder is, how
they find time or room 10 1crite at all.

OF timber, placing one end of each piece on the
ground with the other resting on the top of the
pile, so as to form sliding way for he'next
logs; and having seen that they were perfectly
steady and in straight line, the four legged
laborers rolled up the slope they had Just
formed the six pieces of ebony for the fourth
layer on the pile. Not the least amusing part
of the performance was the careful survey of
the pile made by one of the elephants, after
placing each log, to ascertain if it were laid
perfectly square with the rest -7
The sagacity of these creatures in detecting
weaknesses in the jungle-bridges built over
some of the streams in Ceylon, is not less re-
markabe. have been assured that when
carrying load, they invariably press one of
their fore-feet upon the earth-covering of the
bridge, to try its strength, and, that if it feels
too weak to carry them across they will refuse
until lightened of their load. On one occasion
driver persisted in compelling his elephant to
cross bridge against the evident wish of the
animal; and, as was expected by his comrades,
the rotten structure gave way, elephant and
rider were precipitated into the river, and the
latter was drowned.-A Visit to CeYlon.

A Texan Colonel's Story,

No, my FRIEND said the colonel to his COM
panion, mo, it is entirely impossible for one
nursed, as you have evidently been, in the lap
of luxury-perhaps, even in ceiled and framed
house-to know what we suffered here in SO.
I'll just tell you exactly how it was with me,
and have seen nothing-O, nothing at ALTO
what some have! You see was there in Sa-
bine county, had little cabin in the woods
away from town some dozen miles. had
hundred cows, twenty mares, seventeen illies,
and a wife and three children, but not dollar
in the world. However, was lawyer, and
had engaged TO defend man for cow-stealing
at court in town next day, for which was to
receive two bushels of meal. You see, nv
clothes had well-nigh worn ont, and so
swapped with Bedi Indian for suit of deer
skin. Did you ever see real suit of deer-skin,
stranger!
Well. l have..feA it too. Yon see the In
dian told me to dye it in dogwood ooze did
so, you know; left them in all night. Next
morning was up early and off for court, for
needed that meal--didn't have anything in the
house at all. My deer-skin suit fitted we'll
had tassels round the calves and skirts. Well,
| rode out of the mot of timber in which nv
cabin was built on 10 the prairie that stretched
the rest of the way to town; as the sun grew
hotter, the wet skin-yon see had to put it
on wet, for | must be at court, had to have that
meal-the wet skin began to get tight Pshaw,
it don't mind, says l bu, in twenty minutes
it did mind Got off the mare out there in
that broad prairie, with the roasting, broiing,
burning sun right over my head, and my clothes
creeping up and coiling tight around me like a
nest of snakes. My arms were fastened so by
the sleeves that couldn't get at my knife to
rip anything. My hair stood on end like the
thorns of bois dare. o, the misery the
suffering! the agony! My whole body was
hound up and screwed together and strangled.
Blood rushed to my head-couldn', get on my
horse. Well, l lay there in the blistering sun
till somebody going to court happened to pass
and rip me up. He cut me in two or three
places, he was shaking so with laughter while
he did it. Well, you see rode back home-

other-got to court just in time with my white
suit-cleared the man, and got the meal -

A "Verdant" in a Cotton Mill,

A raw, s,raw-haited, sandy whsk cred six

recently from Greene, with a load of wood

Lock Picking,

Mr.. Hobbs recently lectured before the So
ciety Of Arts in London, on the art of picking
locks. He gave the following statement of
the manner in which he picked the Bramah
lock -
He said that his first step had been to take
all impression of the hole in wax. He had
originally supposed that each slide had its own
spring, but he found himself mistaken in that
snrmise. Having contrived the necessary inn
plements, he pressed down the disc, which left
him at liberty to work on the slides introdu-
ced lever into the key-hole, and applied pres
sure to the cylinder felt the slides successive
ly, pressing them in the false notches, and sue
ceeded in loosening the cylinder, and the lock
was picked. He had never seen the inside Of
Bramah lock before his experments-had
never tried to pick one; and he en,ertains no
doubt that, with his present experience, he
could repeat the process in an hours time. -
Mr.. Hobbs alluded also TO the powerful re-
fector' he is said to have used, and showed il
TO be three-penny mirror, and he similarly
refu,ed the exaggerations relative TO excessive
filing of the lock-"
Mr.. Hobbs said he had never made lock,
and had neve. practiced picking much and he
asionished his English auditors by saying that
he knew many more expert lock-pickers than
himself ta-4a. 1gH-atL azH7gst

A Daring Naval Feat!

We see it stated in some old Historical Rec
ords that in the year 1871, during The Revolu-
tionary war, Captain John Curtis of Salem,
commenced cruising in sloop of about sixty
tons, mounting six carriage guns and as many
swivels, and called the Lincoln Galley Mr.
Askins who subsequently resided in Thomas
ton, (Me.,) was his Lieutenant. Captain Cur
lis cruised along the eastern shores, with a
view TO protect the coasters, and one day he
received information that some American ves-
sells had been captured, and carried into An
napols Royal, port on the Nova Scotia shore
Thi,her Captain Curtis concluded TO go, and
lie arrived with his privateer off the harbor, in
the night, and ordered Askins, his Lieutenant,
10 man the boat with twelve men, and recon-
notre the harbor, and if practicable, to surprise
and take the fort
Mr.. Askius So well acquitted himself of the
important trust, that he effected landing
without discovery, and proceeded directly to
the fort, and completely surprised the guard.

signal at the fort, on which Capt. Curtis run
up to town with his vessel, and executed ca
pitulation. Askins had arranged and paraded
the prisoners, spiked and disabled the cannon,
and brought off the public stores. By this
gallant achievement, hundred and fifty brave
Americans, who were prisoners at Halifax,
were released by exchange and among them,

who had been celebrated for his daring exploits
