LIFE OF A NEWSPAPER EDITOR IN
CALIFORNIA.-He rises at ten in the
morning: dresses himself, takes his
hat, already pierced with three or four
bullets, and goes to a restaurant to get
his breakfast. After breakfast he re-
returns to his Office toread the morning g
papers. He finds he is called wretch
in one, i'll another liar, in a third a
villain. He smiles at the thought that
he has something to do, and signs his
name to three challenges which he al
ways carries about him to be ready
for emergencies. These he dispatches
and sits down to write an article, when
he is suddenly interrupted by some in
terloper, whom at last he is compelled
to throw out OF the window. At noon
he learns that his challenges have been
accepted for the next day. At three
o'clock he goes to fight duel which
had been arranged the day before, kills
his man and returns to dinner. On
his way from dinner he gets mixed in
q riot, and receives some bruises and
wounds, and when he reaches his sane
tum, he finds an internal machine on
his table. Without manifesting the
slightest surprise, he throws it out of
the window. He then writes a letter
on reform; this done, he goes to the
theatre. On his way he is attacked by
three men; he kills two and takes the
third to the nearest station house.
When returning to his Office at eleven
o'clock at night he beats a man who
attempts to rob him; kills dog with
stone; is almost run over bv hack
ney coach, and on the threshold Of his
door he receives two more bullets in
his hat; then congratulates himself or
having passed a quiet day; writes till
two o'clock in the morning; retires to
bed and sleeps TRANQUILITY.

leading Events in the Lives Of Emf
nent Americans.

Under this head we propose giving
from time to time, brief sketches Of en-
inent Americans, living and dead To
the student, these sketches must be
particularly valuable, as there can be
no doubt as to their reliability, and it
might be well to cut it out for future
use:
WEBSTER, Daniel Born Of poor
but honest parents in an obscure town
IN New Hampshire. Member Of Con-
gress for several years, and author of
Webster's Dictionary and Elementary
Spelling Book. Was constitutionally
opposed to treating, and died at Marsh
field on the Androscoggin river a few
years since. He was man of ability,
even the Old Line Wings of Boston
will admit that ,..
SCoTT, Winfeld.-Born in ireland,
in the interior of Germany, in 1776-
which fact accounts for his passionate
love for the sweet accent Of the latter
country, and the rich brogHe Of the
former. Wrote Lady Of the Lake,
lvanhoe, &c, and was in the Mexican
War. Also participated in several
prize fights, which secured for him the
familiar appellation of "Scotty'' In
1852 he raE against Gen. F. Pierce, of
\. Ii, and was SO seriously Jared by
the collision, that he had to lay off for
q while in one Of the hospitals he estab-
lished just before the campaign COM
menccd. He is at present in the army,
and employs his leisure99 moments in
writing for the N. Y. Clipper and 1t
la2atic Mouthy.
BUCHANAN, James.-Born in Penn
sylvania-Has played many prominent
parts on the political stage, and for the
past two years has been playing h-ll
in " Washington City. Unmarried and
partial to old rye.
PARKER, Theodore.-Born in Maine,
and keeps q drinking house III Boston,
which is known as "Parker's" Mr..
Parker's cocktails are not excelled.

ed Taylor's celebrated ice-cream saloon
in New York, and also invented Tay-
lor's Corn ShucEer.
BEACH, Moses Y.-Fstablished the
\. 7. >SY21, for sometime was called
the ''son Of q beach," and the phrase
is now one Of the most popular and
common In our language.
SEWARD, W. H-Wholesale dealer
in liquors, Auburn, n. Y. Author of
the Irrepressible Conflict. Is a partic-
IJar friend Of Thmlow Weed, whence
arose the expression Che uses the
Weed"
BRYAST, VIM. C.-Hyrotc Thana-
topsis ard several other favorite bal
lads, the success Of which induced him
to establish an Ethiopian opera troupe
in New York under the name Of Bry-

9I Our little Mary being the
youngest, is the pet and darling of the
household. As she had reached the age
Of five years, she concluded to commit
a Sabbath School ,lesson; and bring
ing me book a few days since, said:
"Mamma, will you hear my lesson ?"
Il sniIingly assented ; whereupon
she placed her chubby little self in
front of my chair, and prepared to be

Mrs. SWisshelm On Dancing.

Mrs. Swisshelm, of the St. Cloud
(Minn.) Dem. has chapter on dancing,
and is most decidedly in favor of that
kind Of amusement. Hear how she
talks: .E... ..... .-..a- .
It is worthy Of notice that these
churches and people who most strenu-
ously oppose dancing, have always en-
couraged and practiced 1t under other
names. Like the temperance man who
would not drink cider, but had no OBJ
jections to apple juice, our opponents
Of dancing have their children taught
the art under the name of "Caisthen-
ics," and practice it when it is called
"plays." For it is remarkable fact,
that those old time fayorites Of religious
communities, E'Dear Sister Phnba,o -
"Ring around Rosy" 'sAll a marching
to Quebec,'' ''The white Cockade," :"
"Copenhagen," &c, &C., &c, are, ev-
cry one Of them, Cotillions and Contra
Dances performed to vocal and instru-
mental music. .- --:.a-~
The difference between the religious
dance and the protane is, that il the
former, every man in the room is com
PEELED, on pain Of breach Of etiquette,
to kiss every woman in the room; and
gice Uer5a, that it is quite in order for
married women to sit on the knees Of
young gentlemen, put their arms around
their necks, bring two pair Of lips to-
gether with 4 smack and do any amount
ofhugging. While, in profane dance,
even those Of most doubtful propriety,
the greatest familiarity, between per
sons Of opposite sexes, is q gentleman
placing one hand On q lady's waist
while she rests one hand on his shoul-
der and holds his disengaged hand in
the other. The churches, therefore,
who set up rules against dancing, are
all fairly and squarely committed to
the doctrine that promiscuous dancing
is all right, and pious and innocent,
provided it is accompanied by promis-
cuous kissing, with suitable allowance
Of hugging and general rough and tun-
bic.
While, without these refined and ell
eyating additions it is evil Oh evil, and
that continually. There is no esca aping
these conclusions, for the anti dancing
churches and christians are too openly
committed in favor Of these vulgar plays
for an intelligent man to deny, that eli
ther they have acted blindly or that the
kissing and hugglng sanctiiies the dan
cling
Now, since all the experience of the
past proves that people will dance,
even grave and reverent deacons, we
are in favor Of the dancing without the
refined accompanying ctceteras. But
apart from all comparisons we regard
dancing as positive good, as some
thing which requires no apology, but
is inherently right in itself; an efficient
means Of perfecting, refining and cul-
tivating the growing work ofGod's ere
alton; 4 means appointed and directly
approved by the Creator himself. It
is liable to abuse, and the object Of re-
formers should be to regulate, not abol-
ish ii.

A HEATED CANvAss.-The canvass
for Circuit Judge in the 7th circuit
seems to be quite exciting. The two
candidates are writing letters on the
State Rights and other questions. The
last number Of the NVaushara 1rgus
contains eight columns Of correspond
ence betwee Judge Cate and Judge
Alban, the opposing candidates, in
which the effort seems to be to ascer-
tain which can take the hishest State
Rights ground. Cate seems to be wri-
ting letters and pledged himself on
both sides. ssAnd eplayed on harp

MatrimOny.*

That man must lead a happy life
Who's free from matrimonial chains;
Who is directed by a wife,
Is sure to suffer for his pains.
Adam could find 10 solid peace
When Eve was given for a mate
Until he saw q woman's face,
Adam was in happy state.
In all the female face appears
Hypocricy, deceit and pride;
Truth, darling of heart sincere,
Ne'er known in woman to reside.
What tongue is able to unfold
The falsehood that in woman dwell:
The worth in woman we behold
Is almost imperceptible.
Cursed be the foolish man, I say,
Who changes from his singIencS7;
Who will not yield to woman's sway
Is sure of perfect bessedness.
