Newspaper reporting.


No person outside of newspaper Of
fee has any idea of the duties of city
reporter on a daily newspaper. Out
siders and amateur scribblers take a
roseate view of reporters life (princi-
pally from dead head " standpoint),
but they ignore the onerous part of that
life, which enters into every phase Of
reporting. Of late years the duties of a
reporter have been multifarious. He is
expected to see every fight, report all
such on the spot, take notes of battles
while shells and cannon balls are fami-
liar and impairment. interviewing muir
derers, attending hangings, pumping
thieves, politicians and other dangerous
and disgusting characters, is recognized
as a customary duty. He has to visit
jails, station-houses, dens of every de-
scription in search of expected items, for
which the public looks with longing eyes
and Graves with morbid appetite. Du-
ring epidemics, when the plague, cholera,
yellow fever or smallpox make things
and persons lively, the unfortunate Bo-
hemian has to chase the epidemic to its
den in hospitals and Warehouses and
count the dead and dying for the gratifi-
cation of the public taste
When Mississippi boat is running
race against time a reporter is expected
to risk his life, and, if possible, succeed
in being present when the boat blows
up. Ere long he viii be expected to go
up in balloon, dive down into mine,
with injunctions not to return without
some awful experience of sensational
character, presenting every grade and
description of accident and mutilation
that humanity is heir to, and all this for
a mere pittance. These exactions only
stop at one point: He is not expected
to indulge in the luxury Of committing
suicide, like Roman or a crazy Ameri-
can, because it would be simply impos-
sible to write up a full report of
it afterward. The question of human
ity is of course ignored Enterprise, so
loudly demanded by lazy public of
reporters, ignores everything except
news items" When a newspaper is dull
and uninteresting, it is because society
is stupid and for time does nothing
either infamous, sentimental or melo-
dramatic sufficient to amount to the
dignity of paragraph. No wonder,
then, the reporter halls as good fortune
the rumor of suicide, murder, an
explosion or crime of any magnitude.
No wonder he gloats over it and writes
it up with feeling of pleasure unknown
to the uninitiated. And yet the Bohe-
milan is envied, being supposed to be
travelling the high road to happiness and
good fortune. What objectionable ig-
norance is exposed even by the thought!

NEGRO rule in South Carolina, accord
ing to Tribune correspondent, means
nrecisely what the words imply. An
intelligent mulatto member of the Leg
islature says that his colOred friends are
crazy for Office, and as they have some
10000 majority in the State they insist
that they shall control the Government
and keer the white men out of office al
together. This is quite in accordance
with the teachings of their Radical pre-
ceptors with regard to the rights of ma
iorities.

THE latest advices from Mexico are
about as usual, full of revolutionary
movements. The regular guerrilla.war-
fare is kept up on both sides, plumber
seeming to be the chief objects. On
the I'd instant the revolutionists broke
into the custom-house at Tampico and
stole about ten thousand dollars and de-
camped. They talk of establishing a
national guard at San Luis Potosi, but
the probability is that the guard will be
as bad as the invaders. Mexican spirit
