HOW TO TAKE A WHIPPING.

The Western Morning Star, an En-
glish journal, has the following fresh
version of an old story:
Mr.. Dickens, in one of his books on
American journalists, represents them
as turning every incident into a sensa-
ton, as in the instance of an editor
when he was soundly thrashed for
personalities, he at once brought out q
special edition with the flaming an
nouncement: "The Editor Cowhided
again." 1t is not, 1 think, generally
known that Mr.. Dickens was referring
to an actual case, which is tolerably
notorious in America, and is told with
great glee by the person most deeply
| interested.
The person is no other than the
notorious James Gordon Bennett, of the
New York Herald, and it is thus he
tells the story to his friends. The
Herald had for some time violently
attacked a certain actress. One day
the lady's husband, himself an actor,
came into the Herald Office, walked into
Mr.. Benefits room and said: Are
you Mr.. Bennett" 81 am" was the
reply, "take a seat" mo, sir, / will
wife!" 'Who is your wife Z" Name
mentioned. "Never heard of her."
"But your dramatic critic has insulted
her." "That is his affair."" "But /
| hold you responsible" and thereupon
the angry husband took the proprietor
of the Herald from his chair, and flung
him on the floor, and kicking him in
the re&r, rolled him over, kicked him
again, clutched hold of his throat, and
left the office.
What did the victim do? He called
upon one of his employees, wrote out
an account of the affair, caused sensation
cards to be struck Off" Fourth Edition
| -atrocious assault upon the Editor
and soon all New York was buying the
Herald. "But," said Bennett, 81 added
a little garnish which was not strictly
true. said, 'we would have pardoned
this unmanerally, cowardly assault up
on an unarmed man, but for one cir
cumstance. The despicable wretch, not
content with ferocious violence had the
unspeakable meanness to take up q
quarter dollar piece which was lying on
| the table, and pocketed itp"
The next day, when the actor appear
ed on the stage, he was greeted with
cries of "whO stole Benefits quarter 2"
And when ever he appeared the same
cry greeted him, until he and his wife
were driven off the stage and ruined.
That" adds Bennett, "was my re-
venge."

FRANKLIN AS A BOOKSELLER.-The
following story, told Of Franklin's mode
of treating the animal called in those
days ''lounger," and in these ''Ioafer," is
worth putting into practice OCCASION
ally, even i'll this age and generations:
One fine summer morning, when
Franklin was busy preparing his news
paper for the press, lounger stopped
into the store and spent an hour OIL
and finally taking one in his hand, ask
ed the shop-boy its price.
"Ohe dollar" was the answer.
Gone dollarE said the lounger, ''can't
you take less than that 2"
mo, indeed-one dollar is the price,
Another hour nearly passed, when
the lounger said
SIS Mr.. Franklin at home ?"
Yes, he is in the printing Office"
II want to see him." said the lounger
The shop-bOy then Immediately in.
formed Mr.. Franklin that a gentleman
was waiting tie see him. Franklin was
soon behind the counter, when the
lounger, with the book in hand, address
ed him thus:
:'Mr. Franklin, what is the lowest
you can take for this book ~
Gone dollar and a quarter" was the
quick answer.
Zone dollar and quarter! Why your
young man asked me only dollar"
True" said Franklin, land l could
have better afforded to have taken a
dollar then, than to have been taken
out of the office"
The lounger seemed surprised, and
wishing to end the parley of his own
making, said
Come Mr.. Franklin, tell me what is
the lowest you will take for it 2"
"One dollar and a half"
"a dollar and half? Why you of
fered it yourself for Il dollar and quar-
ter"
Eyes" answered Franklin, "and had
better have taken that price then than g
dollar and a half now"
The lounger paid down the money
and went about his business-if he had
any-and Franklin returned into the
printing office.

KANSAS RAILROADS.

Our sister city who sits by the Father
of Waters, and is afraid to let down a
drawdridge lest Chicago varlets come
IN to steal away her trade, is called up
on to excuse Chicago for many things
In this day when our destiny seems to
have reached period of strong develop
ment. But if there be one thing moro
| than another that makes st. Louis I'M
happy, it is to look over her shoulders
and see what we are doing in Kansas.
/ No more notable features can be fur
nished in the present phase of our
growth, than railroad building in
J Kansas, in the direct interest of Chicago
| lines, with Chicago capital and enter
| prise in diverse instances to no small
degree the motors. The Kansas railroad
system is a magnificent one, and no less
| is deserved by Commonwealth destin-
ed to be the Empire State beyond the
Missouri. And this system is being
closely linked with our own by ties
that once established, are not easily to
be changed. A party of gentlemen,
Eastern capitalists and their Western
representatives, whose successive feats
of enterprise have given us first the
Michigan Central, next its Illinois
relative, the Chicago, Burlington &
Quincy and third of the family, the
Hannibal q ST. Joseph, of Missouri,
left this city recently for Kansas, where
they are to Immediately, commence the
outlay of a million and half equipment
of their Kansas line and extension,
through the heart of that fairest of all
regions chic oOutinUnt, the eight
hundred thousand acres of the Cherokee
Reserve, extending south from Leaven-
worth to the Kansas State line, the
route forming an important link in the
line to Galveston and the gulf coast of
Texas. These gentlemen bought this
magnificent tract of the Government
and propose to open their property to
improvement in their generous and
full-souled Michigan Central way.with
a fully equipped railway route. We
are sorry for st. Louis, that nobody
thinks of doing such thing for her.
Indeed, why should they? She cannot
even muster the spirit to build bridge
to connect her with the railroads from
the east, but sits a sulky and fading
Mrs. Darlington among cities, with her
skirts drawn closely about her, fearful
that she will wet her feet. Her boy
Isaac is making a serious stir after
pattens for the dame, but before she
walks dry shOd Chicago enterprise win

A RELIC OF THE WAR.-The nomina-
ton of General Grant for President re-
minded one of his soldiers of relic of
the Vicksburg campaign, which he
brought to light. It is a copy of the
last edition of the Vicksburg Daily
Citizen run off before the fall of that
stronghold. The following is one of its
items:
"OS DIT.-That the great Ulysses
the Yankee Generalissmo, surnamed
Grant-has expressed his intention of
dining in Vicksburg on Saturday next,
and celebrating the 4th of July by a
grand dinner, and SO forth. When asked
If he would invite Gen. 10. johnson,
he said, No; for fear there will be a
row at the table, Ulysses must get in
to the city before he dimes in it. The
way TO cook rabbit is, first catch the
rabbit etc"
This sheet has the date of July I'd,
1863, and on the 4th Grant did dine in
Vicksburg.

mt at her own expense. But no sooner
was this decided upon than the Judge
wrote by express, protesting that his
daughter should not tceor achite at all,
and that he was coming in person to see
that she did not violate his command.
The result of it was. the Judge car
ried his point, and Clara was the odd
bird in the whole flock ofWhite pigeons.
Among all the queens of the Swiss
and null, the rustic belle was the OBJ
served of all observers. She was real
ly the handsomest, merriest and most
sparkling creature in the room, and the
life and gem of the recitations. And
what was sadly provoking to the prin-
cipal, there sat Judge Clinton, in his
suit of homcspun, by the side of old
Mr.. Vennett, upon the platform, avail
ing himself of every opportunity to
tell the whole story connected with the
calico garment, and turning the eoufus-
cd teacher to rId1cule.
At last it came to the distribution of
prizes, and that for exemplary conduct
and correct Rotations was awarded to
Miss Clara Clinton.
If Judge Clinton did not make a
speech on that occasion, it was because
Mr.. Nennet did. AS the address was
fully reported at the time of its deliv-
cry, we will not repeat it here, but sim
ply refer to that part of it which re-
lates to our young heroine.
Il am happy" said Mr.. Vennet, ''that
this prize has fallen to the daughter of
my friend, Judge Clinton, of Clinton
Vile. She is the worthy daughter of a
worthy sire. She may well be proud

The JAPASEsE.-A writer in Put
nGm's Monthly thus sums up the happy
lot of the japanese:
Take the Japanese as whole, high
and low, rich aud poor, they are the
best fed, best clad, best lodged, least
overworked and most genial and happy
people on the face of the earth.
Food is abundant and cheap; imag-
mary wants rare, and thus temptations
to crime are less than with US, though
the land is no Utopia.
There is no such thing IS squalor TO
be found in Japan. In the house of the
very poorest Fifth avenue belle might
sit upon the matted floor without soil
ing her dress. The streets are admir-
ably severed, all offal and garbage ara
removed for manure.
There Is no bigotfy. The people are
wonderfully open-minded. There Is
no hatred of Christianity as such, only
it is feared as an engine to cause poiit-
zeal changes.
