The City Press.

The Gazette-Our nearest Cherry-stree neigh
Dor has found in one of the Quaker-City
newspapers nine .1Dportant Rules for the
Benefit Of Young Men Entering Business, -
and 10 these Important Rules our neigbbor
generously devotes bis editorial space Being
ourselves Young Man, with some idea of
Entering Business, having found out here
lately that this thing of foOling away ones
time in scribbling miscellaneous nonsense for
the newspapers does MT pay, we read these
important Rules clean through, with the
hope that in the end they might be the
making of US. But we find they are not the
rules we want. They seem to be intended
exclusively for Young Men who are about
to go into the Dry-Goods Business. There
may be money in the Dry-Goods Business,
but we don't think we possess the ability to
get it out. In all our transactions in that
line of trade, the money went the Their way.
Besides, the Young Man who would Enter
the Dry-Goods Business with an inclination,
as we should do, to sell calico and SO forth
at fifty per cent. under cost to the pretty
girls, and at fifty per cent. above cost to the
off in six months, in spite of all the Impor-
tant Rules in creation. Can't our neighbor
induce his Philadelphia contemporary to set
up set of Important Rules for the Benefit
OF Young Men about Entering the Cigar Bust
ness? That's Business, now, that every
Young Man can succeed at; there's no dan
ger OF being crushed out by the aggregation
of old stock; he can smoke it up as fast as
il accumulales.
The Ne1os.-An article on 1.-THE Presidents
Protest against the Investigation Commit
tee" from "FoRNEY's Philadelphia Press"
takes up the first column in the Ne,cs. For
SEY, who is Democrat, aud for many years
was OLD Bucks bosom friend is very severe
upon the President and his small, diminutive
little rascally peccadilloes. As the school
girls say with fine effect in their compositions:
'Ah, what is friendship but a name
charm that lulls to sleep
shade that follows wealth and fame,
And leaves the wretch TO weep2''
The junior of the NeaUs spreads himself ont
at full length over the new booklof Mrs. HAIR
RIET BEECHER's ToR-.The Minister'S Wooing'
Our neighbor intimates that if you go into
the book with the expectation of finding it
full of love and Abolition you will come out
most confOundedly disappointed. He then
goes on to praise the authors style after this
sort: ''There are lines of prose poetry, spark
ling fancies, little bits of fun, good common
sense, deep, earnest feelings, holy truths-ail
written in style so harmoniOusly grammat-
ical and rhetorical that it cannot be classed
las 1t has been said of woman's dress that
it was so perfect no one article was cOnspic-
Uous enough to be remembered" We don't
care anything about the book, (and when Mr.
BERRY sends us copy we intend to take it
through course of critical remarks that shall
tear it all to pieces); but We would like the
best in the world to know the woman who
dresses with such remarkably fine taste. With
no expectation that they will each send us
around a spring vest or cravat, nor any
thing of that sort, for the fiattering allusion,
we must be permitted to say that she must
purchase her dry-goods at MCNARY's, or
BEECH's or MCCLELLAND's, or-but we can't
afford to throw away any more of our adver-
Using favors after this fashion.
The Union.-That contemporary of ours
who denounces DOUGLAS (not FRED. but
STEPHEN as a political backleg aud says he
means to support him If nominated by the
Grand Eucampment at Charleston, writes
another article denunciatory of the Black
Republicans in Congress who forced the
President TO send in that Special Message.
The Uaioa seems to be of the opinion that the
colored Republicans in question have treated
the President very unkndly-in fact, that
they have been cruel to him, trampling his
feelings under foot with no more respect for
his gray hairs than If bis head were as black
crow. For our part, we think Mr.. Co
voDE and his aiders and abettors are at least
half right Our personal relations with the
President, though not now of the most init
mate, are, as they have always been, OF the
most friendly character; but we know, and
everybody else knows, that he has furnished,
or suffered others to furnish, the public money
10 control elections, and that he has caused
TO be given the public printing and numer-
GUS other contracts to the highest and meanest
instead of the lowest and best bidder, and
has stopped to great many little things his
boot-black would be ashamed of. Did mt
Mr.. WENDELL testify before the Investi CATION
Committee that it was with the knowledge and
appreciation of the President that he was
made to contribute out of his profits on the
public printing the annual sum of Ten tAolls-
and dollars towards the support of the Pres. |
ident's organ, the Washington Union! Ger
tainIy he did. And doesn't JoHS W. For |
SEY say OF the Post Office printing under the |
control of the Adminlstra ton, that 1.-The con- !
tract Tor this work has been recently given /
out, under the lowest bidder system. at nine
~ -four cents on the dollat less than the |
Government has heretofore paid for 1t, the
new contractor undertaking to do for Fix cents /
the same amount OF printing for which the
Presidential faVorites have been receiving,
from year to year, one doliarl'' Certainly
be does too. Then, ought not these swim
lles to be looked into? Who's to do il if
Congress fails TO come dowa 10 the work
Nobody. Go on, CoyoDE you shan't be
burt IL the entire people of The United
States could be made thoroughly familiar
sith one-half the Fascaliiy that has been and
5 sill practised by the present AdmInis,ra-
ion, the next Democratic candidate for the
Presidency wouldn't receive dfiy honesi, an
selfish votes.
