An Editor a Lucky Fellow.


The Editor of the Sonoma county Journal
is inclined to believe that there are, possibly.
harder and more thankless positions in So
cety than even that of the country editor.
If he does sometimes get "more cuffs than
coppers," his course through life is not
wholly destitute of sunshine and flowers
Scarce day passes that leaves not behind
some slight token of the esteem, love- or
appreciation in which he is held by some
one of his "ten thousand readers and ac-
quaintances. His palate is sure to be tick
led by the first fruit of the season; he receives
complimentary invitations to all the balls,
travelling shows, concerts, steamboat and
railroad excursions, etc; for it is believed
that the country editor is not only the best
judge Of the political, moral and religious
state of society, but also of precious babies,
handsome women, early marriages, delicious
fruits, big vegetables, Durham short horned
cattle fast nags, etc, as well as for the hap
py and inspiring effects of champagne, egg
nog, and lager bier. Who can wonder that
the country editor is disposed to put on the
fr'ls" when occasion permits, when he wit
nesses such marked evidence of his superior
knowledge and ability?

a Negro Discussion about Eggs.

Geneva, the lovely village on Seneca Lake,
furnishes the following specimen of parlia-
mentary ruling SIN the farest village of
Western New York, the "culled pussens, "
in emulation of their white brethren, formed
a Debating Society, for the purpose Of i'm
proving their minds by the discussion of in
structiye and entertaining topics. The de
liberations of the Society were presided
over by venerable darkey, who performed
his duties with the utmost dignity peculiar
to his color. The subject for discussion on
the occasion Of which we write was (which
arm de mudder of de cbicken--de hen wot
lay de egg, or de hen wot matches de chick?'
The question was warmly debated, and many
reasons pro and con were urged and combat
ed by the excited disputants. Those in favor
of the latter proposition were evidently in
the MAJORITY and the President made no at
tempt to conceal that his sympathies were
with the dominant party. At length an in.
teligent darkey arose from the minority side,
and begged leave to state proposition to
this effect: 'Spose,' said he, dat you sot one
dozen ducks eggs under a hen, and dey
hatch, which am de mudder---de duck or de
hen? This was a poser, was we'll put and
non -plussed the other side, even staggering
the President who plainly saw the force of
the argument, but had committed himself
too far to yield without a struggle; so, after
cogitatng and scratching his wool few mo-
ments, bright idea struck him. Rising
from his chair in all the pride of conscious
superiority, he announced: "Ducks am not
before de house; chickens am de question;
darofore l rule de ducks out" and do it he
did, to the complete overthrow of his op-
ponents."
