SELECTIONS FOR A NEWSPAPER. Most people
think the selections Of suitable matter for a
newspaper the easiest part ofthe business. How
great an error It is by all means the most
difficult 10 look over and over hundreds of
exchange papers every week, from which to
select for one, especially when the question is
not what shall, but what shall not be selected,
is no easy task. # every person who reads
newspaper could have edited it, we should hear
less complaint, Not untrequently is it the case
that an editor looks over all his exchange papers
for something instructing, and can absolutely
find nothing, Every paper isdryer than a con-
tribution box, and yet something must be had;
his paper must come out with something in it,
and he does the best he can. To an editor who
has % care about what he selects, the writing
he has to do is the easiest part of the labor.
Every subscriber thinks the paper printed for
his own benefit, and if there is nothing in it that
suits him, it must be stopped, it is good for
nothing. just as many subscribers as an editor
may have, so many tastes he has to consult,
One wants something smart; another something
sound One likes anecdotes, fun and frolic, and
the next door neighbor wonders that a man Of
sense will put such stuff in his paper. Some
thing spicy comes out, and the editor is a black
guard. Next comes something argumentative,
and the editor is d dull fool And So between
them ALL you see, the poor fellow gets roughly
handled. And yet to ninety nine out of hun
dred these things do not occur. They never
reflect that what does not please them may
please the next man but they insist that if the
paper does not suit them, it is good for nothing.

iuty, like that required of the medical student,
when he has disgusting object to disseet, and
we shall not shrink from it.
The last Of them, in that compost bed, are the
productions, ostensbly, of the editor himself.

true, that he is secuted by his own &c relatives

skulk, all night, by an insane exercise Of plead

Don't pass this article, and when you hear OF
the scientific hunting of the English, you will
be prepared to treat it with the contempt it
deserves
When an American reads in an English news
paper that Mr.. Smith, or the Right Hon. Mr.,
Brown, shot one hundred and thirty brace of
partridges on q specified day, and so many rab-
bits. hares and pheasants to boot, he forms o
good opinion of the gunnery of the gentlemen
named, and very naturally, too; but, as there
is q marked difference between hunting in Eng

when the hunter makes his advent at the fall OF

SUICIDE IN PARIs.-A letter dated Paris April
Goth, says:
horrible case OF suicide is related in the Paris
Journals. On Sunday afternoon last, and just as a
large crowd was issuing from the hippodrome, a
the top of the Arcde-Triomphe, drew all eyes to-
wards him by shouting aloud gare or, look out
there below He then too k off his hat, placed in
1t purse OF money, and the next instant jumped
from the giddy height The second platform
brought him up, stunned for moment but
covering his strength and sense, and again shout
ing care he mad second leap. He fell to the
pavement near soldier, crushed and lifeess, and
his body was at once taken to that showcase of
suicide and murder, the Morgue. There must
have been FIVE thousand persons present when this
horrible scene was enacted.
In the matter of committing suicide, the French
certainly show more originality than any other peo
pie, not only as to the causes which induce them
to take their own lives but the methods they adopt
1t Is but few days since that the suicide of car
penter, residing in the Cour St Jean de Lateau here
IN Paris was announced with the strange ;cause
which induced him. His only reason was, that he
could not bear the idea OF seeing the place in which
ne had lived for upwards of twenty years demolish
ed to make way for the new Rue des Ecoles.-
When told that the demolition was resolved upon
ne at hrst refused to believe it; but when convinced
from the placards stuck up that it was true he fell
into profound sadness. At length when notice was
gwen him to leave, he was completely overwhelnl-
his neighbors, 81 cannot bear the idea of leaving
