Touch 'eaDl on the RlyaU!''

Since the time John Phoenix, il
the absence Of "Boston," the edit,
or Of San Diego Herald, took tenn
porary charge Of that now illus
trious journal, and changed its pol
itics in the very first number issued
under his supervision-wh ence en-
sued that memorable battle, where.
in the returned editor was so singu
larly worsted( d(!D-since that period
until the present, We have seen
nothing in its kind more langhable
than little sketch which we have
received, with the above heading.
| All papers, Republican. Democrat.
ic, American, Wing, Conservative,
are all full of 'Nigger,' as we write
in late October-'Old John Brown,
r. Cooke Niger -'Nigger, Cooke,
'old John / rown > these are the
changes which arc rung in all the
journals Of the day, East West,
North and South. there is no poll
teal Offence in the sketch; and
the R. publicans themselves, we
venture to say, will laugh at it as
heartily as their opponents. We
clip, here and there, but with no
detriment to the story: Jones was
a journey-nan printer, upon The
Genius,' a Republican, newspal er
nominally edited by popular and
able lawyer who, however, could
not do hisduty to his clients and
the 1aper too; either his briefs or
his editorials must come lamely off:
and the paper suffered in conse-
quencs, The proprietor, although
a good manager and practical man,
||lhe knew nothing at all about edit
ing: he wouldn't trust himself to
select a paragraph from another
paper, or accept for publication
any thing that did not emenate
from the pen Of the editor, and
now behold he was in trouble. The
neglect of the ostensible editor was
greatly reducing the subscription
list. That worthy was out of town
engaged in an important lawsuit !:
and the proprietor, being in dispair,
hastens after him: .rs
He Left the city hurriedly in scar
ch of his editor, but was himself de-
layed a day beyond his appointed
time to return. In this state OF
affairs there was but one course to
pursue. Jones was the Clever fell
low Of the establishment: and he
was instructed to get out, the issue
of The Genius, during the tempo
rary absence of both editor and
owner. The following is an exact
copy of the 'letter Of instruction
received from the absent proprietor,
together with the proscript by the
regular, editor: ..#... 4

The Genius was a republican
paper of the broadest 'stripe;' and
that Jones did not exactly like 'nor
never did;' for he was strengthen

reasoned with the publisher upon
the proPriety and policy Of chang

proposition of this sort, however,
could be entertained. The Genius

AN ESCAPED ~Nvs.-A young
lady of about nineteen years of age
stopped at the Willis House over
Sabbalh, who represented that she
had just escaped from a nunnery
at Montreal, Canada. She had
been in the institution sixteen years,
and recollected y nothing Of her
parentage, how she came there,
or what was the name of. her fami-
". At the nunneryl she was call
ed by her Ch:stian name, and she
now knows nothing, as We have
said of any other. Within two weeks
of the day of her escape she was
to have the black veil. This pros-
pect was most distasteful and obnox.
ions to her, and finding a providen-
tial opportunity for escape, she EN-.
braced it, t,and rushed into new found.
joys personal and religious free
dom and genial eocial intercourse
with her kink. The young lady,
in her department. and conversation,
indicates that she is inst what she
claims to be. She left the, city this
(Monday) morning tor Dayton, her
place OF destination. Some Bah
tist friends at Montreal raised suf-
cient funds to send her to the charge
of minister in that city, and she
is now we hope, safely sheltered
under his roof.-Sprina1fsd 10Y

Claims against Costa Rica.-The
New York Herald, announcing the arri-
val of the new convention with Costa
Rica, says:
1t provides for the settlement, by a
joint commission, to sit at Washington,
of the claims of our citizens against
the Government of Costa RIGA. We
learn that the convention was concluded
on the 3D. of July, sent to the Congress
at San Jose on the 9th, and approved
by that body on the 18th of the same
month. This prompt action on the part
of the Government of Costa Rica pre-
sents an example worthy of imitation by
our own Congress. 1t is stated that the
claims presented amount, on their faces
to very nearly six hundred Thousand
dollars.
