The excitementtere over the warIike ebultion on

matters are comparatively quiet on the border.

The Canadians are much rejoiced over their recent

is IA very large body Of Fenians among the inhaDi

rangements they were undecided as TO what course
they should pursue and that they earnestly sympa-

believe, and were only deferred from taking action
in anticipation Of defeat, and that in case they
had taken part in the movement they would, OF
course have been driven from their homes
and deprived Of their property. Moreover, state

THE Two Brownsville keys of Stewards
warehouse guard a stock worth $3, OO0, 900, and
hence to close this building is matter OF no
small responsibility. After the door is locked
it is tried by gentleman who for twelve years
has attended to this duty. This is Mr.. Anson
S. Brown, the general manager of the establish
ment. Those of our readers who visit Stewards,
will remember the expressive countenance and
attractive manners of the gentleman who stands
near the entrance to receive customers and d.
rect them to the different departments. Mr.
Brown is acquainted with an immense list of
business men, and by his facile manners, expe-
dites their movements through the vast concern.
Mr. Brown is one of the three persons in the es-
tablishment who are allowed to speak to Mr.
Stewart, ard as general thing, all persons who
desire personal interview with the great auto
crat of trade are referred to him. Their errand
is thus looked into, and if it be necessary to
confer with Mr.. Stewart, Mr.. Brown will be the
medium. By this rule Stewart escapes a vast
amount of petty and vexatious business, and he
knows that in the hands Of this lieutenant his
interests will be we'll attended to. Mr.. Brown
is from Connecticut, and shows enough of the
Yankee to make him interesting. He is an ac-
complished business man, and after attending to
his regular duties he makes it rule to remain
until all others have left the store The store is
then locked and Mr.. Brown turns the knob to
teSt It's SeCurlty. lne nlgnt Walcnmen tDen
commence their guard by trying the door also.
AS they find it secure, they are responsible for
its condition. AS the warehouse fronts on three
streets there are three watchman thus employed
at an expense of about So, 900 per year. Having
thus referred to the first Mr.. Brown, | will now
speak of the second. This is Mr.. John Brown,
manager of the great retail concern mile up
town. He has been with Mr.. Stewart a great
many years, and has won his complete conf
dence. He differs from Anson S. in the fact that
he looks and acts like one bred and born in
New York, but like him he is man of fine ap-
pearance and, as might be inferred of easy man
ners. He has very remarkable acquaintance
with the fashionable ladies of this city, and as
Stewart trusts this class of customers, Mr.. Brown
is the autocrat of credit. When the statesmen
send word that Mrs. - wants a $500 shawl
on six months Mr. Brown pencils on a card
"yes' or "no, )" and that is the end of the mat
ter He knows the standing of all the fashion
able families in this city, and can tell at mo-
ment's notice whom to trust. No wonder, then
that he is such a favorite with this class, since
he holds the destiny of dress and fashion among
those who worship these things with supreme
devotion Such are the Browns who accom-
plish so much for Stewart, and whose kindly Of
fees have been appreciated by New Yorh Letter
in Troy Times.

THE JOURNALISM OF THE FUTURE--The New
York World has theory touching the future of
journalism which, for the good Of the race and
the honor of profession which we admire at a
distance, we are happy TO say we can see no rea-
son for adopting. The following extract states
the case briefly and distinctly
stThe Journals of the future will be of two sorts
"a journal for the few and journal for the
many. The former will be decorous and dear /;
there is reason to fear that the latter will be
cheap and nasty. The one may be paper writ
ten by gentlemen for gentlemen the other by
backguards for blackguards."
1t would seem dreary lookout for the ardent
and conscientious young men of the day who are
having their eye upon a journalistic life to take
either horn of this dilemma, for although there
should be nothing Objectionable in gentlemen
publishing newspaper as we have been pleased
to see it. is not 10 be described by either OF these
diverse phrases. That a newspaper for the peo-
pe-that is, for the community as a whole, en-
bracing not only gentlemen and blackguards,
but much larger and more representative class
should be necessarily either "dear and decor
Gus" or ''cheap and nasty" is not according to
any fair Interpretation of the times. The great
bulk of the reading public upon whom publish
ers OF books and newspapers must depend in the
future no less than the present, are neither gen
tlemen" in the sense used BY the World, nor
"blackguards' in any sense. They are what is
known in European countries as 'the,great mid
olssss, cad ltrs thsss6untry tIe EeoPtea'
or 'the masses. y They are intelligent, industri-
Gus, honest, and fall of integrity. Having
neither time nor inclination to pursue mere
speculative theories Of any kind, they are never
theess fairly up 10 the requirements of good cii-
zens in having well-settled opinions upon all
subjects which relate to the welfare of communi-
ty, and instructive impressions as TO the proprie-
ty Of what they read.
We are glad to feel that the press of the future
must take its complexion from the readers rather
than the acriters, and we want no better guaran-
Tee that it will not be conducted in the interests
solely of either gentlemen or backguar1s.-

AN OPEN BAR IN A CoRNFIELD Here is Cali
fornia story, told to Illustrate the cunning of the
crows in that region A hired man on a Napa
farm was detailed to keep watch on the corn
field, and not let the black maruders invade the
premises but, like many other men in a similar
situation, he tried TO plan method whereby so
much labor would not have to be performed so
he hit upon the plan of soaking some corn in
whiskey and placing it in the field so that the
crows would surely get drunk, and then he
would have sure thing on them, and could kill
them easily. He had tried to shoot them with q
shot gun, but crows can smell powder a long
way. After soaking some corn over night, he
put bountiful supply in the field the next morn
ing, and in about two or three hours he went
out to see how things were progressing and
mark you what follows One of the crows, lit
tie larger than the rest, had taken possession of
almost all the corn, and had built himself bar
out OF clods of earth, and was retailing the
whiskey-soaked corn to the other crows, charg-
ing them three grains of sprouted corn for one
soaked grain. Our hired man had not the heart
to kill any of the creatures that seemed in their
action so like mankind
