THEORY AND Practice.

We have no wish to say an unkind thing
of an unfortunate man, but we must be par
doned for referring to Mr.. Sweetser, former
ly of the N. York Round Table, then of the
EUening Gazette and afterwards of the
Mail, as gentleman who has singularly
illustrated the difference between theory and
practice as applied to the arduous labors
and duties of daily journalism.
The Found Table, under the manage
ment of the Sweetsers, severely criticised
the conduct Of the daily papers aAd pointed
out wherein its editors thought they might be
improved. So thoroughly impressed did
Mr.. Chas. II. Sweetser become with this
idea that he withdrew from the Round Ia
tic and established the Evening Ga
=ette, a lively cosby paper, which
whatever may have been its merits, certainly
did not manifest that dignity so strongly in
sisted on by its editor, when he controlled
the weekly paper, as a requisite in successful
journalism. For some reason Mr.. S. quar-
relied with his partner an publisher, withdrew
from the paper and established the Mat,
very much on the model OF the Gazette.
Out of this paper he was forced, we believe,
by pecuniary embarrassments, resulting, it
was alleged, from his editorial mismanage-
ment. land to-day, is, if we mistake not, re-
porter in some Western newspaper.
All of this ofcourse is unfortunate for Mr..
Sweetser, and he doubtless has the warm
sympathy of those he was wont to
criticize we refer to it now
because, in nowise proftlng by
Mr.. Sweetser's failure, other Philosophical
and pretentious weeklies are continually
playing anew the Round Tables old role.
One Of the chief critics Of the daily press
is the NY. Nation, edited by philosophc
and conservative foreigner, who though born
on the Irish side of the channel, is thor.
ough Englishman in his tastes and habits
and probably has about as much appreca
ton of the needs and difficulties of American
daily journalism as an oyster has Of the de-
lights and dangers of yelocipede riding. Il
would be well for Godkin to look on Sweet
ser and learn wisdom

The SURVEY of the proposed Railroad from
Snow Hill to Berlin, has commenced and the
Worcester people are quite jubiant over the
prospects of the completion of the road. We
shall be glad to see this road built as 1t will do
very much to develop and inyigorate Worcester
County but we say once more that its route is
great mistake. Passengers and freight over this
road must go first 10 Berlin, then via the W. "
P. II. r., to Salisbury, when road direct from
Snow Hill to Salisbury would be no longer than
the one proposed, and put the farmers about Snow
Hill on an equal footing with those of Berlin.
We have no interest in this matter, oiher than our
general interest in the prosperity of the whole
peninsula, but We have watched this whole move
ment with surprise and it has always appeared to
us like folly little short of madness.

four children, all barcfooted and abreast,
with stern, soldierly- looking man covering

according to Ilardcc, and with neatly
packed knapsack on his back. He wore
indians mocassins. The mother Of the par

and an invaluable stewpan in the disengagcd
hand-a stcwpan in which any old cam

1861, in Baltimore Cemetery, was on Satur-

of removal it required the utmost strength
of four men TO lift the remains from the
grave, and this, too, after an inicrmcnt Of
eight years. There were several other bod
les in tie same lot, members of the same
family of the deceased, hut on removal none
of these showed any but the usual and nat
