Newspaper Offices.

4 very mistaken notion prevails as to
the proper use to be made of newspaper
Offices and newspaper editors. An edit
orial room is generally believed to be es-
tablished as a general exchange lounge,
loaing place and reading room, for all the
idle men Of the town. However busy the
editor may be, two or three or half doz-
en- men will enter his sanctum, overhaul
his exchanges, read his manuscripts, aud
enter into an animated conversation on
their own affairs, to the utter confusion
Of any ideas the badgered and bothered
editor may have possessed. Every man
who has = grievance, ali who are unen-
ployed, every one who proposes some fan
cied Improvement, every one who wishes
10 present his own views or his own bust.
ness to the public, think it the duty Of
an editor to listen to their long stories
and afterwards to give them a few dol
lars worth of advertising tor nothing
Such are some Of the popular notions ot
the duties Of editors and The use Of news
paper Offices.
We cannot, Of course, correct such {
wide spread conviction, but it will do NJ
harm to state our views Of the subject
y printing Office or editorial room is not
place for lounging, nor is it a public
reading room. The exchange papers are
taken for the editors own use, not fol
that of the public. Advertising is D ri
oI tL, regular business OF the publisher
and he does not expect to do it GRATIS, any
more than a man builds carriages fol
nothing. And, finally, an editor is not
to be considered the universal arbiter o.
all disputes, the general champion Of al
the distressed, or the handspring of the
government. If you have business with
an editor, transact it with all reasonable
dispatch, and leave him to attend to his
duties, and do not annoy him by inter
ruptions, by reading his manuscript, Oh
by carrying off his exchanges. If you
have no business with him, leave him tC
himself. There are public libraries where
books and papers may be read, and there
are plenty of public places where friends
may meet and discuss their affairs as long
as they ploase-it is not fair to use an ed
itorial room for such purposes.-Printers
Ne,cs Letter.
I'VE hope some of our follow-citizons
will take" the gist of the above-for We
are certainly much abused after the fash
ion so truly described therein.-ED

NELLY GRAY-A SONG.

There's low mossy valley on the old
Kentucky shore,
Where Ive whiled many happy hours away,
Asserting and a-singing by tie little cabin
door,
Where lived my darling Nellie Gray
Oh my poor Nellie Gray,
They have taken her away.
And I'll never see my darling any more
am sitting by the river,
And am weeping all the day,
For she's gene from the old Kentucky shore
When the moon had climb'd the mountain and
the stars were shining too,
would take my darling Nellie Gray,
And paddle down the river in my little RED
canoe.
While my banjo so sweetlv would play.
Oh! my poor Nellie Gray, sc,
One day went 20 see her-she had gone, the
neighborS said;
The white man had bound her in his chain
He had taken her to Georgia, there TO veal
her life away,
As she toied mid the cotton and the cane
Oh my poor Nellie Gray, &c.
Ny canoe is under water and my banjo i
unstrung-
am tired OF living any more;
Ny eyes shall look downward and my song
shall be unsUnr,
While | stay on the old Kentucky shore.
Oh my poor Nellie Gray, &c.
Ny eyes are getting blinded and ! cannot Sc,
my way,
There's somebody knocking at the doer;
hear the angels calling, and see my Nellie
GRAY
Farewell to the old Kentucky shore.
On my poor Nellie Gray,
Up in heaven there they say,
They'll never take her away any more;
am coming, coming, coming,
As the angels clear the way
Farewell to the Old Kentucky shore.

ENYY.-We find in an old work a very
expressive definition of this word. Envy
says the author, is furnishing ourselves for
being inferior to our ncighbors. if, instead Of
looking at what our neighbOrS possess, we
could see what they actually enjoy, there would
be much less envy and more pity in the world
"The envious man. says st. Gregory, sis
made unhappy not by his own misf0rtmes, but
by the successes Of others; and on the other
hand, he does not enjoy his own good fortune
so much as the mistOrtuneS Of his uaIghbors.
Our affected contempt of greatness is only an
enyious attempt to lift ourselves above the
great, and thus achieve an imaginary superb
ority. Since we cannot attain grandeur,
says Montague, let US take our revenge by
abusing it. "
The envy that grudges the successes for
which it would want the courage to contend
was we'll rebuked by the French Marshal Le-
fevre. One ofhls friends, expressing the most
unbounded admiration of his magnificent ho-
tel, and exquisite cuisine, exclaimed at the end
Of every phrase, How fortunate you are u
= | see you envy me, said the Marshal; q but
come you shall have all that / possess at a
much cheaper rate than ] myself paid for it.
Step down with me into the court yard. You
shall let me fire twenty musket shots at you.
at the distance Of thirty PAGES, and if fail to
bring YOU down, all that ] have is yours.
/ What you refuse :" said the marshal, seeing
| that his friend demurred-" know, that before
| reached my present eminence, was obliged
/ to stand more than thousand musket shots,
and, Sacre! those who pulled the triggers were
nothing like thirty PAGES from me-"

PRoBABLY LYNoHED.-A gentlemin from
the foothills informs us of q circumstance
which has caused considerable excitement in
the locality in which it took place On
Thursday night, teamster travelling near the
Oregon House was accosted by man who
had piece Of calico over his face, and robbed
of two dollars and half, all he had. After
wards the Vigilance Committee of that vi
cinity arrested man who had similar, II
not the same piece of calico in his possession :,
also two dollars and half and a revolver.-
He was brought into the presence of the
teamster who failed to identify him, although
he recognized the calico and stated that the
man was of about the same size with the one
who robbed him. Upon this testimony, our
informant tells US that the Vigilance Com
mittee took the man off into the woods, and
that he has not been seen since. We should
Judge that this was rather slender evidence
upon which dispose of a man in the way
in which it is eonjectured that this one has

Committee at all in a county where the laws
are in full force as they are here, is very Of

MAIDEN LANE AND c STREEr.-Bruce Gar
vey. whom we mentioned. few weeks ago,
as being engaged in a brutal assault upon
Barney Donelly, and subsequently as the
person who insulted Butcher Bob" and
slapped him in the face, walked into house
of bad repute, kept on Maiden Lane 10y col
ored woman, on Saturday night last, as W,
are informed by the police, and, getting int
a difficulty with the woman, knocked hel
down and jumped upon her breast in most
inhuman manner The woman has been spit
ting blood ever since A warrant has been
issued for his arrest, but he is not to be found
in the city.
In this connection, we may as well state
that it is the intention OF the police to clean
street and its vicinity of the many vagrants,
loafers and hangers on of disreputa6le houses
who frequent those localities, and are contin-
ually engaged in disturbances. They have
no visible occupation and ought to be put
into the Chain Gang as vagrants
We think it is high time that the police
should root out these characters. No place
of the size of Marysville has been so annoy
iDglY infested with this Kied of verrmin.
The efficiency of the police in arresting the
worst class of criminals and preserving the
general peace and good order of the city has
been acknowledged Let them now rid the
city of the naisances alluded to, aud they will
be entitled to additional praise.
