EVERY editor knows the truth of the fol-
lowing, from the New Y ork Home Journal
1T is one of the hardships of our profession
that Its working wheels-brains and hearts
are not allowed to flag for sickness or stop
lor calamity or sorrow. The Judge may ad-
Journ his court, the school and workshop
may close shutters, the mourner may veil
features and turn friend and stranger from
the door, but the journalist must forget be-
lore tomorrow the sorrows Of to-day-must
write gally and freshly, as newsmonger on
the trifle of the hour, whatever burden has
been laid on that same hour, by Providence,
for his heart and brain as a man.

Horse TALK.-A prominent member of the
bar yesterday, in arguing case before the
County Court, became impressed with the
belief that the Court would decide against
his client; and after laboring in vain to have
the Court view the case in different light,
he became excited and broke out in the fol-
lowing strain; "Your Honor, am talking
to the Court, and the Court is dead against
me; l feel like billy goat butting against
gate post. l know the case is going against
me; but if the horse is sick and bound to
die, we want to know what allied it, so that
we may doctor the next sick horse. Sac.

BoNNERs HORSES TOO FAST FOR HIM-A
short time since says Burleigh of the Boston
Journal the papers were full of the then re-
cent purchase 10y Mr.. Bonner of the two fast
est horses in this region, called Lantern and
Lady Woodruff But the end of it was, that
while Mr. Bonner owns the feetest of steeds,
they are of little avail He cannot drive them
himself Once put on their speed the great
Ledger man would find it impossible to man
age them. SO when Mr. Bonner appears on
the road" with his $4,000 team, he is
obliged to employ professional driver to
attend him and such is the power of this
noted team, that it is regarded as quite dan
gerous to put them to their full metal, and
thus, on more than one occasion, the great
team of the city has been left behind and the
dust of slower ones hurled back on their
owner

A SEAMAN named George Ritter, was killed
lately on board the U. S. steamer Brooklyn,
lying at New York. A correspondent of the
Alta says:
He had come on board evidently much the
worse for liquor, and becoming noisy and
troublesome, was ordered by the deck officer
to be put in heavy chains, and confined in the
brig" or prison. The performance of this
duty was assigned to Charles G. Cooper, the
ships corporal, who, it is alleged, was un-
necessarily cruel in carrying out the instruc-
tions be received 1t was sworn by several
witnesses that he dragged the deceased down
the ladder to the prison, holding him by the
chains which were round his ankles, whilst
the head of the unfortunate man struck "a
gainst each step of the ladder in the descent.
Not satisfied with this, it was sworn that he
placed round stick or gag" in the deceas-
eds mouth, tying it with a rope at the back
of his neck, at the same time saying, II will
stop your chattering." The deceased died in
haitian hour afterwards.

MuMdERIEs OF CIVILIZED MEN-There seem
to be in human nature faculty for masouer
ade and fantastic decoration that is not ont
grown even in civilized society," 1t is the
same sentiment that prompts the Fiiian to
make his face hideous with stripes of various
colors, and the Indian to decorate bimselt
with feathers and beads, rigs up our military
men with monstrous bear skin caps, feathers
epaulettes, and red and yellow flannel. and
oedecks our secret society men with costly
and gaudy regaa. Civilized men call this
all nonsense and yet they like to see it and
Ike to appear in it. 1t is the way in which
male human nature recompenses itself for
wearing somber clothes, and yielding to wo-
men all the ribbons and flowers and other
charming personal embellishments.
The most grotesque form in which this
passion has of late shown itself is in the cos
tune of the new and mysteri, US order of the
Sons of Malta" This approaches nearest to
the barbarian style of any modern form of
regalia. The order paraded in New York. a
few evenings since to the number of 500
men, and celebrated what they called the
Festival of the Seven Cardinals'-cardinal
sins, for all that We know. The officers were
clad in suits of armor with vari colored robes
and plumage Some wore crowns, some cups
OF red velvet; some carried swords and cine.
tars. and one bore mighty battle.ax. Be
hind these came the untitled members. one
half of them clad in white, with black crosses
on their breasts, marching on the right side :;
and one half clad in black dominoes, with
white crosses on their breasts marching on
the left side. Here and there was a standard
bearer carrying high staffs from the top of
which tioated the black and white banner.
with red octagonal cross embroidered in
the center under which the order arrays
ITSELF Midway between the beginning and
end of the procession stalked figure clad in
white, with grinnng skull peering from un.
der his hood, and with bony hands out
stretched. The crowd unanimously named
him Death, and doubtless he was intended to
represent the Destroyer. Behind him, borne
ON bier carried on the shoulders of men in
black and white dominoes, came huge open
book, and next came box covered with
black and white cloth, on which a cross was
embroidered. The tome was "the Mystic
olume,' and in the box were "the Natural
Bono" 'the Apron of Innocence" and .the
Scroll of Honor" Their music consisted of a
band of base and tenor drums, lots of them.
and after marching through the city till mid
night, cheered and jeered by the crowd the
sons sat down to supper, and didn't go
home till morning. What the Sons of Malta |
are, or what all this fantastic mummery sig |
miles, we do not know. 1t seems very much |
ike regretful look backward from civilized |
lte towards the freedom and unreason of bar |
oarism. We certainly hope it is emblemati' |
'al of nothing in store for the race in the fu.
