and its influences are peculiar. But this is
trite--we need not pursue the thought. When
ever the journalist SO far forgets his mission
and duty as to indulge in personalities towards
his opponent, we may well fear that much Of
his us efullness is gone.
What wonder then, that the mouths Of our
young men in the streets are full Of cursing
and profanity, when our leading journals in
drlge toward each other the. same kind Of
speech. What wonder that duelling and blood
shed are the consequences of bandylAg person
al epithets, and giving the lie, while our journals
thrive on their ability to abuse their contempo-
raries? What wonder thst so many refuse to
take paper, while it is filled with such bitter
ness and personal hate?
Another consideration, sometimes connected
with this matter, which renders the practice
we speak Of the more foolish, is, that these
feelings are more apparent than real. More
the exhibition Of skill and tact, in editorial
warfare than any just and sincere regard for
an opponent. When this is the case the tri-
pod becomes a dsnoe's block, upon which an
editor voluntarily seats himself, and is gazed
at and admired Of fools.
Now, what we would like to see, would be
an editor whose qualifications are a high order
Of talent, an answering devotion to prime iple,
charity which covers multitude of sins, q
magnanimity of soul, that would forgive an in
jury, love his enemy and keep personal epithets
and profane slang out of his paper. This is
our beau-ideaI Of an editor.
And here we leave the subject, well aware
that we are t.eading on forbidden ground, when
we take up the privileges and duties of the
Press as subjects for discussion. But what we
have written, we have written.
Here endeth the first lesson. LOCAL.

OF building, the coming season, in this city
are highly encouraging, and we believe it will
exceed in quantity and value that of any pre-
