jured by the effects OF the long spell OF wet
weather; the atmosphere being too damp for the
cotton bolls to open, they will be liable more or
less to rot.

District and there never has been known 80 many
cases OF fever here before We are at loss to
determine the Of so much fever, unless 1t
results from so much water having fallen on the
earth from the last part OF the summer up to the
present. Clarendon Press.

CHARLES LOUIS NAPOLEON. son OF the Duke DE
SAINr-LEU, Of Rome; born ut Paris; belonging to
the Catholic religion; aged fourteen years and
five months; gifted with many good qualities, in
the development OF which he has labored with
much zeal, so that he has made good advance
msnt in the German language, in Latin, and in
Arithmetic, and pretty good in Greek and history
in general, therefore, considerable progress. His
quiet manner toward his fellow pupils s deserving
of praise, as also the respect and gratefuness
with which he has accepted even disagreeable
tasks. He has the tTenty-fourth place; the diff
cul les OF German language, OF which he is not
vet master, hare prevented him from obtaining a
higher rank. Besides, he is publicly commended,
and he can pass into superior class. The cer~
tifcate for the preceding six months says: 'The
pupil possesses All ardent feeling for all that is
elevated, good and beautiful; he would have made
great progress if illness had not OH several occa-
sions prevented him from attending the class "
For THE INFORMATION OF those individuals who
foolishly imagine that the life of newspaper man
is paradise on earth, and is RraughL with untold
pleasures and privileges, we give the following
sketch Of the duties OF this unfortunate individual,
concerning whom such wrong impression exists.
1t is taken from Mr. HUNTS volume on tho "Fourth
Estate" 1.-The man who once becomes journalist
must almost bid farewell to mental rest or men,
tai leisure IF he fulfills his duties truthuy, his
attention must be ever awake to what is passing
in the world, and his whole mind must be devoted
to the instant examination, and discussion, and re-
cord OF current events. He has little time for Ito
rary idlcness, with such literary labors on his
shoulders. He has no days to spend on catalogues
or in the dreamy discursivc researches i'll public
libraries. He has no months to devote to the ex-
hauston of any one theme. What he has to deal
with must be taken up at n moments notice, be
examined tested, and dismissed at once; and thus
his mind is ever kept occupied with the mental
necessity of the worlds passing hour"
