EDITING PAPER.-We copy from the
Opelousas Gazette, of January IS. 1880
the following, which shows that twenty.
eight years ago the difficulties of an editor
of newspaper were the same then as they
are now, and the same as will always exist
"The truth is, an editor cannot step with
out treading on somebody's toes. If he ex-
press his opinions fearlessly and frankly. he
is arrogant and presumptous. If he states
facts without comments he dares not to ex-
press his sentiments If he conscientiouslv
refuses to advocate the claims ofan individual
to office, he is accused of hostility. A lack

that's no better judge of poetry; ;" as if it
were patronage to buy a paper at about one

Neutrality-suspicious. because it is not literary
enough. One grumbles because the adver

should be printed in types as large as is used
for handbils.

INSANE. Information was lodged at the
Station House, about IL o'clock on Friday
night, that there was a man in the river near
the hulk Dmon, at the foot of street Off
Ger Graves proceeded Immediately to the
locality, and found an Irishman named James
Hagan, who has heretofore worked on the
Levee, standing in the water up to his arm
pits Hagan stated that he had saved man
from drowning, and that the man gave him
S5for doing so. 1t being apparent that he was
deirious probably from the effects of liquor)
he was taken to the Station House where he
remained till morning, when he was re-
moved to the County Hospital. Inasmuch
as his delirium was apparently the result Of
an excessive use Of spirtuous liquors, it is
presumed that he will be fully restored in a
day or two. While in the Station House be
stated that he wished to see the doctor, as
he was going to die, and also wanted to see
the police, to confess. When asked if he had
ever stolen anything, or murdered ANYBODY.
of which he wished to make confession. he
replied in the negative, adding that he had
cursed sworn, and told lies.-Sac Union.

CAUGHT ANOTHER ONE.-Our readers will
remember that we caught one of our bache.
lor friends, day or two since, stealing along
with a bundle of carpeting on his shoulder,
with very much the look of a man who was
about to commit matrimony. Well, yester-
day evening, while Lying around loose at
Qualey's. we overheard another bachelor
and, by the way, the most inveterate one Of
all our acquaintance, engaging Qualey to
make a wedding cake. We also heard him
ask Qualey when he should have some ice
cream, and ON being told next Thursday eve
