The reason for thus smashing TnE TRIBUNE,
after having successfully performed that congcnial
Office upon England and Germany, and the British
and Teutonc mind in general, is simply that We
have not been able to place that delightful con-
fidence in the noble human action of Louis Napo

foot, with the same ecstatic antcipations which
send such sweet and secret thrills through the
bosom of Mr. Brick. Hence he is down upon
England, and Germany, and THE TRIBUNE To-

As for the serious questions which in his silly and
reckless way, be bathers about, we prefer to dis

any reference to him.

and sincere, that he is making great fool OF him.

him in that process; but we will candidy advise
him to write shorter articles and fewer of them;
to restrain as much as possible his propensity to
the grander styles of eloquence; to cultivate, If
he can, little common sense; to avoid alcoholic
liquors and all other sSmulants and eScitements;
to lge good deal in the open air and use the cold
bath freely; to increase, if he can, the proportion
of his ideas to his phrases; to learn that those who
