The Value of q Good Pen.

Of all men, the editor Of newspaper
knows best the value of good pen. For
the last six years our writing, equal in
quantity to that of any one in the
Union we presume, has been done with
two gold pens manufactured by the cele-
brated house of A. G. Bagley & Co., OF
New York city. We bought of them
the pens, without the holders, at 81 50
each, using ordinary steel pen holders
Fifty dollars would hardly have covered
the cost of steel pens, which we should
have used, had we resorted to them.
Both the pens to which we refer are still
in capital order, bidding fair to last our
lifetime. Thus, throwing out of the cal
culation, the great comfort of always
having pen at command in first rate
condition, properly made gold pen
saves many dollars to the voluminous
writer in the long rum

Ortolan.

Sportsmen in Washington and in its
vicinity, have had high times for a month
past, there never having been better
season for ortolan and reed birds in this
region. Those who have up to this time
failed to take advantage of the current
conjunction Of fine weather and fine tides,
should brush up their equipments without
delay, as the season is rapidly fleeing
Afriend, a few mornings since, shot ninety
four birds before 0 a. M, asingle shot each.
This was hardly ever excelled in the his
tory of ortolan hunting, wefancy. Ateither
of the bridges over the Eastern branch of
the Potomac, the sportsman will find
persons with skiffs to point out to the
stranger the shooting grounds, and to
assist him through them. He should be
in position shortly before the food of the
tide. He who has not enjoyed ortolau
shooting, knows not the excitement and
consequent luxury of the finest aquatic
sport for such it is indeed.

Spirit Of the Morning Press.

The Sentinel, continuing its discussion
Of New York politics, is very indignant
at the allegation that affairs in the En-
pire State look as though there is about
to be a coalition between the National
Wings and National Democrats" upon
any thing more than questions of State
policy. The editor thinks that it will not
be wonderful, if the Silver Grey Wings,
preterring the views of the Uards upon
such questions to those of the SOfts, and
hating the Free Soil wing of the Wing
party, shall vote for the adamantine cam
didates. In view of the developments
made i'll this leader from which the con-
clusion is Irresistible that there is very
likely To be a junction of these parties in
the approaching State election, it should
be remembered that there is really no es-
scntial difference in their views on State
affairs. During the last session of the
Legislature, the gravest complaint of the
Softs against them, was that their one
Senator MIR. Cooley and eight Represen-
tatives never failed to vote with the Wings.
on all test questions of State policy only,
however.
The Union considers the question of
Democracy against Diplomacy-The
Presidents pOsitiOn'-as illustrated in
the Administration s conduct in the Kozsta
affair. The editor holds that diplomacy
has chained down the various peoples Of
Europe up 10 this time, rather than the
brute force which despotism employs, and
argues to show how powerful for the cause
of civil liberty, the out-spoken Democracy
u the Presidents position on the Kozsta
affair, really is. We gather from this
leader the conclusion that the Admins
tratiOn entertain no idea of failing to back
its demands for the release of Kozsta,
as circumstances may render practical
backing of its words necessary.

The IRISH POTATo CROP Conflicting ac-
counts have been circulated for some time past
respecting the potato crop in Ireland.
From Kilkenny, Carlow and Derry the re-
ports speak of the rapid progress of the fatal
distemper; while from Sligo, where it was
stated that the blight had committed dreadful
ravages, it is now said that the statement was
put forth as a mere supposition, and not from
any practical examination of the grounds for
such conclusion Altogether the belief con-
tinues to prevail that, owing to the great
abundance of the produce, some loss can be
safely sustained and still, nearly IN average
crop be produced.
