Newspapers Work.

Joshua Marvel is a new story by B. j.
Farieon, the author of Grit. JOshua-the
central figure of the hiStory-becomes an
errand boy in a weekly newspaper. Wages,
four shillings a week. Time, from eight to
eight; an hour to dinner, half an hour to
tea. He goes with fear and trembling to
the office, finds his way to a dirty room, is
told to come in, and the occupant of the
room says: "Who are you ?' Joshua re-
plies that he is new errand boy, and what
follows is thus told by the author, whose
language we adopt, to give our readers a
specimen of his style:
"Oh, very we'll, take this proof up stairs,
cut along, look sharp"
Going up TO red-headed youth, Joshua
asked to whom he should give the proof.
"To SnOOks;" and he found Shocks and
upon him he bestowed the manuscript.
One of the workmen, walking to slab
of iron placed in the middle Of the room,
took therefrom a sheet Of manuscript and
looking at it negligently shouted-"Num-
Der Threer
Another voice at the other end of room
cried out lawful collision!"
Joshua stopped in the midst ofhis sweep
ing and waited for the shock. None came
and he thought the second speaker was,
crazy. Meantime dialogue continued:
"End break"
Gall right"
"Whst type?"
'sMinion."
GLOW long before this Dreadful Suicide
is finished?'
'Done in five minutes, sir"
'FWho's on the inquest?" IA

snake haste then. How long is bis
'Chancery Court to remain Open?"
"Close it up in ten minutes, sir"
Joshua gazed with kind of wonder at
the individual who spoke as if it were IS
easy to close Court of Chancery' as to
close his hand.
The Oyerseer continued to issue his
strange orders, and during a slight cessa-
ton in the hammering he ordered the
wOrkmen to clock up that Escaped Lunatic;
and to lay the Female in Disguise on the
stone" -
Joshua started and looked round to catch
a sight of the Female. He tUmbled against
a workman who held column of type in
hand. The type fell to the ground, and in
an instant the whole office was in cOnfu-
sion. or

The LessOns of the Fire.

The Chattanooga Times of yesterday has
an article under the above heading, in the
course of which that paper says:
The city of Chattanoogais taxed as heavy
as any city of its size in the country. With
no bonded debt worth mentioning, tax
is levied and collected ofat least 81 on every
500 worth of real and personal property.
The taxable property Of the city is returned
at over three millions. Now what do the
tax payers receive for the enormous sum
they are compelled to pay? What protec-
ton in person and property is afforded
them? Is it worth while to contribute two
per cent. of our property annually for the
bare privilege Of having our place of resi-
dence and business called a city with a
Mayor and Alderman, and Recorder and
police force? Yet that is all we have been
receiving for thepast six years.
If we can have no organized fire depart
ment, no efficient police force, no protec-
ton to persons and property, no water for use
in case of fire, no street lamps to tighten the
darkness, under cover of which thieves and
murderers pursue their infamous calling
with impunity, we submit that it would be
just as well for our reputation and better
for our purses, to ask the Legislature to
repeal our charter as city and become
simply a collection of civil districts under
the general laws which govern the State
and county.

Rough Joke ON a Halter.

In removing to a new place of business
the remnant Of his stock left by the great
fire at Chattanooga, last Sunday, dealer in
hats discovered the agonizing fact that one
of his cases contained twelve old hats, their
owners in the hurry of business having left
them as substitutes for the new ones which
they wore off. He insists that if the sub
stitution had occurred under any other cir
cumstance he would be forced to the con-
clusion that some slight stealing had been
going on,

A Cool Transaction.

About the coolest transaction of recent
occurrence was the sudden change in the
weather early yesterday morning, accompa-
MED by lively fall of snow and an almost
furious gale, which continued throughout
the day. The only redeeming feature OF
the occasion was the snow-storm, the ten
dency Of which was to remind the thought
full of the famous production commencing
in the familiar couplet-
