y few days ago, stood in the Office of
a periodical, the editor of which always
feels the public pulse before he decides ON
any article, when a gentleman
entered, and Il conversation cnsucd, which
will give word for word with the cxccp-
tion of names.
The editor was examining a proof of n
wood cut-said cut being representation
of four white men being haycd alive by
lndIaris-which was to appear in the next
number, when the stranger thus addressed
him =
Are you, sir, the editor of the Tragical
Observer 2"
The four white men and the indians
were pushed into pigcon-holc Thestran-
ger was stared at through pair of spccta-
cIcs, the rims of which looked like the
mouths of caunous, and the eyes behind
them like balls about to be fired :; he saw
the cannon-balls roll fcrccly for moment
and then he heard scpulchral voice say
ing, ] have the honor to occupy that
position"
4" have called, theu," said the stran-
ger, @ to see if can make an arrangement
with you to write for the rragical OBJ
server ?"
The mouths of the cannous were pointed
straight at the stranger, and the balls roll
ed very wildly, as the editor replied, some
what in the tone which Mr.. Native Talent
uses when he says, "That handkerchief,
that handkerchief" "Wcl sir, what can
you do i'll the sensation line" a
<" | do not wish, " said the stranger, to
write in that line. | want to prepare Sc
ries of scientific articles"
The mouths Of the cannons were turned
away in disgust, as though the stranger
were not worth shooting at, and were poin-
ted once more at the four white men and
the Indians, which the editor pulled out of
the pigeon hole, aud remarked:
" No use, sir--no use! The public don t
want thcm--no taste for them"
But" continued the stranger, " would
not such articles raise the character of your
paper" 2"
(" Yes replied he and sink my receipts.
| tell you sir, prcparca paper for the pub
lie, apd I'm obliged to publish what the
public wants. The public hate the pub
lie. The public, sir, wants blood, blood,
blood Write me some articles stained with
blood from beginning to end, and III give
you your own price"

When anybody faints instead of making

loosen his, clothing. push the crowd away,
so as to allow tho air to reach him, and

son is erect, that blood has to bc thrown

projected horizontally. Which requires less
