THE EDIToR.--The Richmond Mail
throws of the following capital illus
tration':
"Thoy have a steamboat on the West
ern waters by the name of The Editor.
This is the very best name ever given to
a steamboat. We are surprised that it
has never been thought of before
The editor is a working engine, whose
fires are going by day and by night
Now he sails against the tide, now with
it, going along at a doshing rate, until
suddenly he comes up standing against
some hidden snag, which entirely shiv-
ers his timbers to pieces. Whenever he
moves he puts the water in agitation,
and leaves a wake of troubled waters
behind him, which lasts about five min.
utes. He serves everybody but himself
carries freight and passengers in any
quantity, and goes off puf--pufing
down the stream of life. Often his
powers are overtasked, and the boiler
bursts, but fortunately it kills NJ
one but himself and who cares for al
oditor?"

THE "CHIEF MoURNEn. There is
a genius in this city, yclept Hatfield,
who has earned a reputation in a novel
manner. The detectives have his da-
guerreotype, as well as those of some
Of his conireres. He operates ingen-
iously, and with marked success. 1t is
his wont to attend funerals, and at the
customary exhibition of the corpse, to
press to the side of the coffin, there to
mingle his tears with those of the friends
Of the deceased Hence the s0u5riquci
Of "chief mourner" has come to be his
ordinary appellation in the police cir
cles and other associations where men
Of his character are known While
honoring the deceased, he keeps an eye
open for the living, as did the Ephesian
widow; and, as others come near to take
last view, he contrives to relieve their
pockets of whatever valuables they may
contain. His operations had become So
extensive that it was found necessary
by the bereaved, to keep their attention
on the alert; and the result was, the
detection Of the lugubrious gentleman
Of whom we have been writing. He
is a shrewd financial man, aud has been
unusually successful in his peculiar de.
partment ofindustry.- New York Post

LOST FAITH IN FATE-The sudden

MODERN ARTISTS. ~ The London
Critic, in an elaborate article on Ristori

QUEBEC HARBoH.
The harbor Of Quebec is filling up. During the
present century there have been thrown into the river
upwards Of ten iors tuns # ballast, stone, earth
and sand. The consequences are beginning to manes
themselves in the shoAng Of the water on Point Levy
point and at oil the timber establishments between
Cape Cove aud Sillery In another half century un

exists for the ballast ships ofthe finest harbor5 in
the world will have been destroyed.
THE BARK ADRIArIc.
A correspondent in Belfast Me- who isw well acquain-
ted with the facts in the case, sends Us the following
letter for publication:
The "etter from Marseilles published in your
paper jan 80 contains several statements which are
not true aud which, III justice to Captain Durham
should be corrected.
First: II was the French Captain, and not the Anne
rican who "upon that occasion left the scene OF the
disaster without troubling himself about the result
FOR well established fact that the French steamer
neither altered her course nor slaCkened her speed
until out Of sight notwithstanding she was hailed by
Captain Durham, and requested to lay by supposing
tion, and the other but slightly injured.
Second: Captain Durham did not proceed to his
port of destination, but put into the nearest port Glou
oester) where all the circumstances were imm 9dately
reported at the office of Notary Public and at the
Custom House, and also by letters to his owners.
The whole letter lacks confirmation, but have res-
son 10 fear that Captain Durham has been driven, by
what he considers the extreme of injustice to the COM
mission of q rash act. Boston Advertiser.

THE WEATHER or FEBRUARY.-For once the old
sayirg of "What everybody says must be true, has
proved false for everybody said that because January
had been warn, February must be cold; but it is
not, so far The fifth day has come and gone with
only this chow OF Winter that the ground was slightly
frozen the surface in the morning. but the noon was
so mild that we sat in q room with open windows
without fire, while looking out at laborers in shirt
sleeves and pedestrians only wearing overcoats because
Winter name not in the state Of the atmosphere
1t is state of weather suggestive Of small Ice crop
in this vicinity and of good speculation for somebody
TO put up ice couple of hundred miles north of New
York TO supply the city next season, should the great
ice companies who have the monopoly fail to fill up
their ice houses since the old ice in store is not more
than one-third sufficient for the city next summer.
