HORACE GREELEY in to-day's Tribune reit
crates what he said to Mr.. Larimer, of Kansas
" That he was an asprant for no office, but
would decline no duty political friends deyolve
upon him." Mr.. Greeley says it is certain that
he will never make himself candidate for the
Presidency. 1t seems quite improbable that
others will ever make him such, but there are
gest, him as a candidate who have exactly the
same rights as SO many other citizens, neither
less nor more. If they be few and humble there
Is so much the less reason for bowling them
down, or insisting that the President is ALREADY
selected and all discussion on the subject fore
closed. We respectfully protest against the acri-
mony, the maleyolence, the proscriptive venom
manifested by certain journals which have been
set on to clear the field of all intruders If the
majority have already decided the Presidential
question, there can be neither harm nor danger
in allowing the minority to indicate their dissent

All good lawyers know the value, in
the practice of their profession, of gen
eral knowledge or Information to be ol,.
tained in practical Intercourse with the
world and studies outside of the law
| library. In book just published by the
daughter of an English advocate, Mr..
John Adolphus, the following is told
which will illustrate the virtue of the
kind tof knowledge referred to. The
writer says:
"a very extraordinary criminal case
was entirely decided by the knowledge
my father had picked up of nautical af-
fairs in his early voyage to and from the
West Indies. Lascars we're on their
trial for the murder of the captain of the
ship; the evidence of the mate seemed
quite conclusive. In the course of it he
said, however, that at the time of the
murder there was great confusion, as the
ship was in much peril, and requiring
all the attention Of the sailors to prevent
her striking on a rock. My father, who
defended the prisoners, asked so many
questions as to the number of the crew,
and where each man was, and what he
~ as sz-engagedz in during this perilous
tim e, that ut last the judge whispered,
Il an ppose Mr.. Adolphus, the questions
are ID the p,Ifpose2 ] own do not see
it Thinking, doubtless, that the time
of the Court was being wasted. Aller q
few more questions as to the duty each
M an was performing, the witness had
accounted Tor every man on board, the
captain heinz below and the two prison
ers numbering him. My father fixed his
eyes steadily on the witness, and said
IN a Searching and loud voice; Then
who was at the helmY The wretehed
mate dropped down in fit, and sooE
after confessed he was himself the mar-
derer In his false evidence he had
given to each man his position, and for
gotten the most material, or rather left
none TO fill it.

NaVeI ReasIInp.

The London Examiner, in an article
on 1.-THE Noyel-reading Disease, talks
thus of the young lady of the period
who has developed the last stages of the
complaint:
In this stage the unhappy patient can
no more go without her novel than can
a confirmed diplomaniac without his
dram. The smaller circulating Libraries,
which let out very secondhand novels
indeed at a penny volume, are put
under contribution. and any amount OF
garbage is swallowed wholesale. 1t is no
uncommon thing for young lady in
whom the complaint has assumed a
chronic form to have read the whole of
Scott, the whole of Thackeray, the whole
Of Dickens, the whole Of Trollope, the
whole of Annie Thomas, the whole Of
Mrs. Ross Church, the whole of Miss
Braddon, the whole of Lawrence, and,
into the bargain, the whole of four or
FIVE hundred novels by less famous
hands. When the disease is thus con-
firmed the dropsical habit of mind be-
comes apparent. The conversation of
the patient becomes fabby and limp.
Her interest in all ordinary subjects
except, perhaps, the latest fashions or
the more scandalous portions of evil
dence in the Tichborne case or the
marriage of the Princess Beatrice
hickers feebly in the socket and finally
dies out. The last stage-that of abso-
lutte imbecility-is now, unless very
powerful remedies are exhibited, a mere
matter of time.

How TO Hang Pictures.

Every picture should be hung with its
horizon on level with the eye OF q
spectator of ordinary statne, and there
should be q clear space of three feet at
least between the larger pictures, and
two feet between the smaller ones, which
space should be illed up, if possible,
with velvet of dark maroon color. A

A FPenehman on Civilization and
Progress.


An ancient Frenchman, who has re
sided in the Florrissant Valley for hal
a century or more, came to the city The
other day to pay his taxes. He haC
known the collector from the childhood
of the latter, and therefore paid up more
willingly than he would if his money
was going into the hands of stranger
In doing so, however, the old pioneer
gave expression to his feelings in an un
reserved manner.

The English have been for some years
sadly worried by estimates that indicate
the exhaustion of their supplies Of coal
within century or two.A And now
some professor Of hard facts comes to
the front with the assurance that even
the vast extent Of our American forests
cannot very long hold out against the
enormous consumption Of wood. More
than 10000 acres of our best timber,
he says, are devastated every rear TO
supply the demand for railway sleepers
alone; and the locomotives now in USE
consume the product Of double that area.
