The P.cunIary Peril. of Journalism,

n
A London journal pOrtrsys the shady
side Ofjournalistic enterprises of that city,
and the story has its parallel in the exps-
rieuce Of American journalism. The Lon
don psper starts with the fsct that lesv-
ing the great Times out Of the account, the
entire press Of London does not pay ex-
penses; that is, the profits Of those which
do pay are less than the losses Of those
which do not The London Daily News,
the chief rival of the Times, spent half 8
million dollars before it paid expenses,
which it barely does new. With several
other special facts Of this description, our
authority goes on with its story thus:
There is scarcely newspaper in Lon
don, in which three or four fortunes have
not been sunk, and By which as many
persons have been ruined The usual his
tory Of q journal is this: A. thinking to
make fortune, starts journal. BE ex-
pends Thousand pounds upon it, and finds
it still exhibiting sloss. Money goes very
fast in a newspaper, for the drain is g
steady one, week by week, without pause
"A process that will very soon empty the
wealthiest pocket. Having spent so much,
he does not like to stop there. He pro-
ceeds, another 81 900 Vsnishes. He stakes
his last G5OO, and that goes TOO. Then he
is obliged to sell at any price. He perhaps
gets Sl00 for that which has cost him g.
500, and be is ruined Then the buyer ex-
pends another e., 900 in like manner and
he is ruined and sails In a third for conn
perhaps. The process may be continued
for even a fourth or fifth, until even hope
dies, and the enterprise is abandoned.
But sometimes it happens that the fourth |
or fifth fortune has succeeded by the mere |
force Of living on, and the journal is made |
TO pay. Buteven then, what is that profit. |
commercially considered7 True, it is a |
fair profit for him who bought it for e2OO |
and expended $4,000. But the actual cost |
of establishing it was the three previous |
fortunes Of e7, 800; add these, and the ex
penses Of establishing the journal we're in
fact 10000; and the profits do not ay |
as well as any other occupation would do |
for such capital as that Try it thus
what annuity could be bought for el0,0 |
and would not that annuity be greater |
than the profits Of the journal, successful /
though 1t may appear to be2 These re-
suits may occasion surprise but when we |
show what are the expenses of establish
ing and conducting q journal, and what
are the receipts the reader will cease to |
wonder at the ruin in which journalism |
involves 60 many, and at the certain sink
ing Of capital that is occssioned by even |
the most successful Of these enterprises.i

Panic nr Richmond.

The Baltimore correspondent Of the New
York World writes thus concerning the
existing panic. 1t is probably a neat ex-
ample Of fiction
There is terrible panic st Richmond.
owing to the approximations that are felt
there ofthe capture ofthst city by Generals
Grant and Butler /; but it affects the rebels
in different way from the panic which
was experienced at Harrisburg before the
battle Of Gettysburg. At Richmond mon
ey is plenty, such IS it is, and busi-
ness is very lively. The stores
are erammed with European goods, which
srrive via Wilmington. The bill Of fare at
the Spottswood House is quite as good as
that presented on the tables Of the hotels
in many large interior towns in the Nor
tbern States. The streets are thropoed
with idle promenaders. The ladies wear
the richest silk dresses and crinoliue Of
undiminished proportions. At night, the
theaters and concert halls are well flled.
New plays are brought out; new books
are printed and published: even new mag
sEines are issued and appeal for share Of
public patronage. In fine, if panic ex
lists at Richmond, its effects are not visible
to the naked eye. As regards the iron
clad vessels there, and the distractions in
the James river, it will be very easy to YER
ify the facts in regard to their existence.
Let feet Of iron-o clad vessels be sent m
that stream to reconnoiter. If they are
not there, why have we not sent a naval
expedition to capture Richmond long aeo2
Richmond is not like Charleston
IN this respect. If Richmond can once be
reached by Uuion feet, it is at our mer-
cy. But itosnnot be SO reached. 1t is ut
terly inaccessible by water. This fact is
known at Washington and this is why
naval force has never been sent to take

DEAFNESS, CATARRH,
EAR AND THROAT.
TESTIMONIALS,

FROM THE REV. FRED. S. JEWELL,
FRoFEssoR OF THE STATE NORMAL SCHOOL, ALBANY
NEW YoRk.
This may certify that have been, since
1874, subject to violent periodical attacks of
cstsrrh, marked by highly inAsmed con-
dition Of the lining membrane Of the csvi-
ties of the head, producing most dis
tressing species Of headache for days at q
time, wholly incspscitsting me for bust
ness, and during the paroxysms oonfning
me to the bed. In some instances the in
flsmmstion has extended TO the teeth, oc
cssioning toothacbe to the throat pro
ducing hoarseness and partial loss Of
voice; and twice it has so affected the
left eye ss to confne me for month OF
more to q dsrkened room. These attacks
have been accompanied by strong febrile
symptoms; by stoppages Of the head and
in the first stages by Wstery discharges
from the nose and subsequently becoming
aerid snd yellow, and towards the close Of
the attack becoming bloody and purulent.
have tried medicines Of almost every
kind; external applications to the head,
such as camphor, ginger, hot vinegar,
snuffs of some half doHon kinds and
other cstsrrshsi preparations, together
with internal remedies, such IS alternatives,
cstbartics and emetics. These have pro-
duced no change in the occurrence OF
character Of the disease, and in most cases,
with little or no temporary relief. had
oourv ut length, to believe the disease to be
practically beyond either cure or material
sllevistion.
Under theIe circumstances I was led,
some five months ago, to make a trial of
DR.. LighthilTs treatment. His method at
once approved itself to my judgment, as
simple, philosophical, and likely to be eff
fective. Notwithstanding the disadvan-
tages under which he lsbored, in dealing
with disease of such long standing, ag-
gravated by nervous debility and dyspeP-
.----s-----Al-s-5zsaad hz the aeci-
dents Of my professional labor, l found
the treatment reaching the disease as it
had never been reached before, and pro-
ducing such 8 modification and allevistion
Of its character, as had supposed impos-
sible. chronicle the result thus.
Although l have been situated several
times 80 that should formerly have be-
lieved q severe attack Of my cstsrrh inev-
table, have escaped thus far; the symp-
toms Of threatened attack have been very
light and have yielded TO the remedies
employed by DR.. Lighthill, without the
need Of recourse to the old hot fermsnts-
tions or emeties; and the discharges from
the head have resumed the original and
natural condition. That have been able
to obtain SO material relief is to me
cause Of gratitude. In that alone am
repaid for whatever the treatment may
have cost me.
1 make this statement unsolicited, as q
means of acknowledging my obligations
to DR.. Hghthilps method of treating cs-
tsrrh, and with a view to aid any who may
have suffered from that disease in forming
a just opinion of its merits, and it's prob
able utility in their own case.

An Unsuccessful Search for Information.
The Washington correspondent Of the
Rochester Democrat says:
They tell good story here Of come en-.
rious fellow who has considerable popu-
lsrity in one Of your New York towns,
and therefore conceived that it was emil
nently proper that he should be informed
of the plans for the spring campaign. So
he called on the Secretary Of War in his
largest style, and inquired, in his blaDdest
manner, what Grant was going 60 do 2
For final answer he GOT
al don't know; and if l did, SHOULDN'T
be my business to tell you"
Surely, thought your politician, these
officials are very short and snsppish.
A day or two afterward he met General
Hslleck, with whom he had q slight so-
qusintance, at Willsrd's, and asked him if
Grant meant to move direct upon Rich
route, as some ot inc psperss seeisasiRsqls

an instant, but soon said,
"Ahl did you say he was going straight

His next effort was at the President, on
the occasion Of the last levee at the
White House. Standing at his right in
the Blue Room he pleasantly remarked,
e suppose, Mr.. Lincoln, you expect
stirring times over here On the Rapidan in
q week or tWo2"
" Possibly" answered the President.
"Possiblyr echoed the New Yorker.
al don't know much about it." replied
the President "but 1 heard day or two
ago that General Grant meant to take
Richmond from the Charleston side"
The fellow withdrew.
There was yet one source more Repre-
sentative Washburne ought to know all
about it, said he. He caught Wsshburne
in the House the other morning, before it
was called to order, and said to him:
Can you tell me il I will be likely to
ind General Grant over on the Rapidan,
say early week after next, if 1 90 over
there with my Congressman 2"
Can't tell you, sir, answered Wash
burne. "General Grant did not tell me |
what he was going TO do, or where he was
going to be at any given time"
The New Yorker concludes that things |
ire in very bad way, because no one
Knows what Grant is going to do.
