The Country Editor,

Our readers may have no hesitancy about
believing every word Of the following. q.
If there is one thing above another, cafcti-
lated to worry the life out of man, 1t Is to-
be obliged TO edit q newspaper in small
town. The daily paper is published in the
city, and events are transpiring every hour
sufficient to fill up o sheet, while poor
country editor has to scratch his brain,
and manufacture items, even if they never
occurred. He is obliged to Gil up six or seven
mortal columns, whether he feels like it or not
Family cares, pecuniary difficulties, indispo-
sition, ETC., etc, arc no excuse for him--his
brain must grind out the regular quota Of ed
itorial, or those who find fault but never pay
their subscription, swear there is not an ar
ticle worth reading in the whole paper this
week. Every word he uttcrs, every move
ment he makes, every speculation he enters
into, it must be done with an eye single to
his duties as editor of the county paper
In short, whether awake or asleep, whether
sick or well, his every thought must be
brought to bear to make his Journal inter-
esing to his readers. .--Red Bluff Beacon. a

A YOUNG MANS FIRST LEssos.-r take Il
that the first great lesson a young man has
to learn is that he is an ass. The earlier the
lesson IS learned, the better will it be for his
peace OF mind and his success in life. Some
never can learn it, and descend into the even
ing OF existence, their ears lengthenine
with shadows as they 60. Some learn il ear.
", get their ears cropped, and say nothing
about it; while others sensibly retired into
modest employment, where they are not no
ticed. A young man, bred at home, and
growing up in the light of parental admra-
ton and fraternal pride, cannot readily I'm.
derstand how any one can be as smart as he
is. He goes into town, puts on airs, gets
snubbed, wonders what it means, goes into
society and finds himself tongue-tied, under.

bordering on distraction, sits down to rea.

tory. The result of his reasoning decides
his fate. II he thoroughly comprehends the
fact, that nc does not know ..anything; that

self-conceit holds possession Of him, ifhe gets
cross and sour, if he turns up his nose, or

use for him. A young man who is not

The PRINCE OF WALEs-By the death of
Prince Albert, the Prince of Wales, the help
apparent, becomes, it is said, more active
participant in matters Of state. 1t has been
suggested that Queen Victoria in her attic
ton, and view Of the hereditary malady with
which she is supposed to be threatened, win
be likely to abdicate the throne in his favor.
For this, however, there can of course be no
authority, nor could it effect in the least de-
gree the general character and disposition of
the Government, if she should do SO. But
with Richmond, now the capital Of the C. s.
A., the Princes associations can hardly DO
pleasant At Richmond, and in the very
capital where the rebel Congress sits, he re-
ceiyed the only insult offered him during his
tour in this country. BY all classes through
out the North he was treated with respect
and demonstrations Of compliment and well
come, as the son Of Victoria, esteemed by all
not less by her motherly and womanly quail
ities, but for more than qucenly virtue and
nobleness.
! Albert Edward, Prince Of Wales, was born
November 81, 1910, and is therefore Just

All alone, alone I'm sitting
Mid the shadows, darker getting
Wond'ring II the night wind, signing,
Mourns my heart so early dying

And the gloom Is deeper growing,
While tn hours, In silence fleeting,
Bear Old Year TO New Year greeting
vigils sad tonight I'm keeping,
While the villagers are sleeping,
Dreaming they Of coming morrow.
Dreams of love, without its sorrow. ....

1872 AND ls6l.-A few days since we gave
comparative statement of the present
strength of the English and American navies,
by which it appears that we have 246 effect
i've vessels, with ,s92 guns and %, 900 men,
to oppose British strength of GA vessels,
with $4,000 guns and $4,000 men.
1t is interesting, in this connection, to see
how this compares with the exhibit of 1872,
when engaged in a successful contest with
England. At that time she had an armed
marine of nearly thousand vessels, with
over 100000 men, while our musquito fleet
consisted, not including gun. boats, of barely
twenty vessels, nine of which were below the
rank of frigates, and two of them unsca-
worthy.
So far as numbers 60 our strength is rela.
lively much lafgef nov than then. But the
change in the character of armed vessels and
the mode of warfare, has been so great, that
it is difficult to institute comparison. The
numerical force of the British navy appears
from these figures to be less than it was fifty
years ago, yet no one can question that its
effective strength is vastly greater. This is
true of the American navy, but not to the
same extent for, as yet, we have no IRON
clad Warriors, and nothing larger than fiftv-
gun frgates to contend with British ships- of
the-line, with their l2O guns.

DoN'T TALK TOO LoUD.-Wc agree with that
old poet who said that low, soft voice was
an excellent thing in a woman. Indeed. we
ieel inclined to 60 much further than he has
on the subject, and call it one Of her crown
ing charms. How often the spell of beauty
IS rudely broken by coarse, loud talking!-
How often you are irresistibly drawn to a
PLAIN unassumlng woman, whose soft, silvery
tones render her positively attractive In
the social circle, how pleasant it is to hear a
woman talk in that low key which always
characterizes the true lady

MODERN ARMs.-In glancing over the war
history Of the present century, he must be
indeed stole who does not sigh over the
enormous sacrifice Of life which the statistics
OF the historians disclose. In the battle OF
the first Napoleon, from the conflict of Maren-
go, in June, 1900, TO the closing fight at
Waterloo, in the same month of 1916, over
eight hundred thousand vigorous men were
expended; and during the eleven weeks
campaign Of Napoleon the third, in Italy at
least one hundred thousand were killed and
wounded. Of course the short, vigorous
compaisn of the nephew was infinitely less
disastrous than the protracted warfare OF the
uncle. Rifed cannon and Mimic rifles, little
as they look like it, are merciful weapons
They plow the way to peace. Shut up in
his all but ilnpregnable shell at Sevastopol
the Russian long defied them; but in field
contests they were irresistible. When the
entire war-hstory of the present century
shall come to be written, it will probably be
found by those who come after us that all it's
great battles were decided by superior arms.

An Illustration,

The different attempts to swindle the gov

following fashion
The worthy Mayor of one the Connecticut
cities had raised fine regiment and was Co.
lionel thereof His friends (and thew were
many proposed to buy him handsome char
ger. Search for the right kind of horse was
made far and near. but without immediate
success. Soon man arrived from the rural
districts with splendid stallion, which APP
peared to be the animal that was needed
But the price asked was twelve hundred dol.

charger" than the stallion. .. .
y" This won't do" said the committee
4" We must talk to this man"
So they "talked to him after the manne,
of men in the land of steady habits. They
took him to a good hotel and "had some
thing" BY means of punches and persuasion
the owner of the stallion" considering that il
was for the Mayor" and so on, would como
down to a thousand dollars. So far so good
Then they had dinner, and also :" som,
thing" more, and the horse fen to nine hun
dred dollars.
After dinner the committee and horse own
er sat down for serious talk, and talked til
early next morning, and about once in two
hours the horse fell hundred dollars, SO tha
when the talk ended and the parties went ts
bed the price fixed for the twelve hundred
dollar charger was three hundred dollars.
In the morning the jockey received hi.
three hundred dollars in gold and small bag
transferred the horse and made the following
