The recent difficulties which occurred between the
managers of public dinner and the corps OF he
porters for city papers, indnce us 60 copy some
remarks of an old member of the New York Legs
Iature who has been giving series of sketches and
incidents of that body, which came Hnder ms own
observation, in the Cooperstown Journal. we make
The following extract for the benefit of our public
AVE. these Reporters! what an ungraclOus and
thankless task is theirs They must make " great
men" of their own partizans, albeit, the material
be as deficient, as when certain people were
required TO make brick without straw. There Is my
excellent friend Sherman Croswell, may his shadow
never be less whatever may be his political merits
or demerits he is of the best legislative report
ers ever knew. As have witnessed his pallent
toll hour after hour in smoothing off rough corners.
and making English out of what IS Indescrloable
have often thought that if every great man mat ne
has manufactured had paid full value for the 'wear
and tear" in doing SO, what John Jacob Astor tol
wealth he would be- How smoothly and how per-
tnently he acould make all the unconnected jargon
of the Smiths and Browns read in the next morn
ing's Argus.
And here, good reader, let me give you word OF
advice. Doubtless g0u mean 10 be member OF the
legislature one of these days. Very well. When
there do as you please, with exception. Vote
with or against your party-vote for or against al
blS-and do anything ese you please, and there
will be hope OF your surviving. But never quarrel
with the Reporters! If you provoke them to turn
against you, OeLteI 90 o''oA
the Shanghai and Devo nshires. Job Haskell eve
rybody has heard of Job-thc champion of the steam
doctors, in the Assembly of 1884 or IS; Job was
great on making speeches, and my friend Sherman
always made good sense, and even eloquence out OF
them.
But for some cause, what know not, Job quarrel
led with the Argus and got in the habit of denoun-
cling Edwin CroswelI, then the Magnus Apollo Of
the Democracy. Sherman, too came in for a goodly
share of Jobs diatribes. At length the patient re-
porter turned his antagonist, and reported one OF
Jobs speeches rerbatim ct (Hetatim. Need tell you
the result? Job instantly eztinguished-and
darkness ever after enshrouded his once brilliant
seat! The history of his future legislative career
could be written in two WORDS job fat! Mind
my caution, then. Never quarrel with the Reporters
The Supreme Court of Michigan has decided that il
shipper Of 'ods has received orders to send them
BILE for the loss of the goods, not performing the
terms of his order.

has made his literary debut under the patronage of
Walter Sa wage Lander. Its spirit will be apprecia-

pId England;
There she sits in her Island home,
Peerless among her peers
And Liberty oft to her arms doth
To her poor heart of tears:
Old England still throbs with muffed fire
OF a past she forget;
End still shall she banner the world up higher,
For, there's life in the Old Land yet.
There's life in the Old Land yet
The great l4ero-Mothe not hoary get
There is sap in the Saxon tree,
And she lifteth bosom of glory yet
Through her mists to the sun and the sea,
Fair the queen of Love fresh from the foam,
Or a star in dark cloud set;
Ye may blazon her shame, We may her fame
But there's life in the Old Land yet
Hurrah
There's life in the Old Land yet.
They would scott at her now who of cid look ID forth
In their fear when they heard her affair:
Oh but loud will your wall be, poor Kings Of the Earth
Whom the Old Land goes down to the war;
The avalanche trembleS half launched, and half rven
Her voice shall in motion be
Then ring out the tdings ye winds of heaven,
There's life in the Old Land yet.
Hurrah!
There's life in the Old Land yet.
Let the Storm bu. st, it will find the Old Land
Ready-ripe for rough red Fray
She will fight as she fought when she took her stand
For the Right in the olden day.
All, rouse the old royal soul! Europe's best hope
Is her swofd-edge by Victory set
She shall dash freedoms foes adown Deaths bloody slope
For there's life in the Old Land yet.

ENL1sTING TURKISH SoLD1ER.-As soon as he
has read the precepts he is asked by the minister of
war. " Will you faithfully fulfil those duties, and
will you die for the chief slem ~ If he says Yes"
he becomes soldier at once but in case he alleges
that he is not yet sufficiently advanced or has not
strength to comply fully with this solemn obligation
he is allowed to return in peace TO his home
To the common soldier, the contents of the prayers
are read by the Imanm. II he says Yes" he leaps
over drawn scimitar lying without lis scabbard on
the Hoor; and this formality renders the obligation
indissouabIe Before the soldier quits the spot where
this takes place, the Serasker calls aloud to the
host of military going out to join the army, Chill
dren of the Sultan forth to the war; to victory or
to death but let there be no shameful retreat Who
soever abandons his cooFs shall lose his life by this
scimitar. This is the will of God and his Prophet
