nAmafeuI EdIfors,.

Although they are something like anna
teur actors, singers and painters, and are
not always popular with "the profession, y
yet, occasionally, one who merely writes
for the pleasure it affords himself or the
public, without money aud without price,
is found to be "clever sort of fellow
Col John w. Forney, veteran proies-
sional, in his anecdotes of public men,
now publishing in the Press, thus refers
to several amateur editors:
Many of our public men are capital
amateur editors. Thomas Ii. Benton was
a valuable and vigorous contributor to the
Globe in the war upon the United States
Bank. His style was trenchant and ele-
waited, and his facts generally impregnable
James Buchanan was frequent writer in
my old paper, the Lancaster Intelligence,
and Journal, and in The Pennsylcanian.
His diction was cold and unsympathetic,
but exact, clear and condensed. His pre-
else and elegant chirography was the de-
light of the compositors Judge Douglas
wrote little, but suggested much. His
mind teemed with 'points" l never
spent an hour with him which did not
furnish me with new ideas. He grasped
and understood NEST questions tho
roughly. When he read was always
a mystery. Social 10 degree, dining out
almost daily when not entertaining bis
friends at his own hospitable home, visit
ing strangers at their hotels, leading in
debate, or counsellng 10 committee, he was
rarely at fault for date or a fact. Ht
was treasure to an editor, because he
possessed the rare faculty of throwing
new light upon every subject in the shortest
possible time Ex-Attorney General j. S.
Black would have made superb journalist
and was Il ready and useful contributor
His style is terse, fresh, aud scholarly
What pity to see such gifts wasted in q
strife over the grave of a former associate
and friend Caleb Gushing is another
statesman who once delighted 10 editorial
writing, and still occasionally varies
his heavy professional toll by the same
agreeable relaxation. | have known him
to stand up to his tall desk and dash of
column after column on foreign and
domestic politics, on art, on finance, with
astonishing rapidity and ease. Unlike his
aggressive successor, General Cushing i:
anxious to end his long and eventrul career
at peace with all the world 1t is said
that he is now receiving more money fol-
legal services than any man in his profes'
sion. OF course his labors are heavy, but
he lightens them by his calm and cheerful
philosophy, his cultivated literary tastes
aud his love of the society of the toleran,
and refined.

evening State JamrnaL
France end Prussia.

France and Prussia.
The Worlds special correspondent at
the German capital telegraphs that feel
ing of dependency has taken possession
of the Berlners now that the exultation
over the fall of Paris has passed away
They fear that the Assembly will not ac-
cept the terms of peace proposed by their
Chancellor and hence renewed prepara-
tions for war are made throughout the
German States. If war, then, must fol-
low the present armistice, the Germans
are determined to make it short, sharp,
and decisive. Still, it would be idle to say
that all hope Of peace is lost. On the
contrary, with the exception of Gambetta,
who theatrically informs his admirers that
he cannot listen to their congratulations
because he is engaged in council of war,
all the leading men Of France appear for
the time being absorbed in the elections
which took place on the 9th. Jules Favre
resigns his office as Minister of Foreign
Affairs, and announces himself candidate
for the Assembly, there to take part in the
deliberations as an independent member,
while nearly all the leading democrats of
Paris-men like Jules Simons, Pelletan,
Emanuel Arago, Rochcfort, and others
are confident of being among those who are
to decide upon themomentousquestionsth that
are to be submitted to the Bordeaux AS
sembly. The Gambetta partisans attempt
to make political capital everywhere for
their chief, but wherever the track of war
has left devasted homes, burned villages,
and thousands of graves, there Gambetta's
DEGREES are torn down, and universal
cry of peace, peace" is heard. \ The
south of France, as yet untouched by the
scourge of war, may send succor and sup
port to the Bordeaux irreconciables, and
make the breach between the conservative
and radical republicans still wider; but
from Versailles comes the threat that at
the first sign of anarchy, Prussia, relying
upon the advice and consent of the neutral
powers, will take upon herself the task of
nominating a provisional government
for France, and maintain it by force
of arms. This certainly does not
look as if Count Bismarck is laboring
under mental alterations, as London club
gossip now has it. Perhaps the Chancel-
lor's refusal to listen to England's special
pleading in behalf of France may be con-
strned as madness in the clubs of Pail
Mall and Parliament street, but there is
no evidence anywhere that insanity pre-
sides over the destnies of the new empire.
Poor France, indeed, has some madmen at
the helm in this hour of her greatest peril,
men like Rochefort, for instance, who has
Just issued new publication advocating
regicide. And amidst all this the capital
is suffering for want of food. Hundreds
of people are actually dying from starva-
ton, and not enough provisions can be
had to satisfy the wants of the heroic in
habitants.

A Chinese Absurdity,
GFrom the Round Table. I

The Chinese are certainly very singular
people. Living as they do on the opposite
side of the earth from any civilized nation,
they seem to have reversed all the habits
and customs of other people. The old
men fly kites, and the children work.
They keep the most undesirable animals
as pets, and save dogs and rats for the
larder. In many ether ways do they run
precisely counter to our own customs,
and prove themselves as opposite to us in
mental habits as they are antipodal in
residence. But the most extraordinary
instance of the manner in which the rela-
tions of life are turned topsy-turvy in
China appeared in letter from the Celes-
tial Empire, published in the Tines of last
Thursday, wherein an account was given
of the efforts made by the Chinese authori-
ties to force certain criminal to confess.
The unhappy wretch bore all the torture
that could be inflicted upon him, but
steadfastly refused to confess whereupon
they seized his mother-in-law and put her
to the rack. Then the obdurate criminal
yielded.
Incredible as this story may seem to us,
III is uUuDtleSS lTue. Dut WHdtb Wlue gun
does it show between us and the China
men What civilized man is there who
could not bear with Christian lortitude the
torture of his mother-in-law We have
even known men who, like the early
Christian martyrs at the stake, would sing
hymns of triumph while the limbs Of their
own mother-in.law were stretching on the
rack. And yet it would seem that the
cruellest blow Chinaman can receive is
that which is struck at his mother-i in-law.
What wonderful people How precisely
our opposites {! How completely upside
down have they turned the European in
stitution of marriagel
Since learning this fact, we are strongly
inclined to oppose Chinese immigration.
We could endure the Introduction of most
of their customs into this country, but il
they are to introduce the insane worship
of the ther-in-law, it is time that every
married man should take his stand against
them. If the Chinese public sentiment on
this subject should prevail here, the mother
in-law would become more domineering
and oppressive than ever, and the fate Of
the sons-in.law would be too terrible fol
contemplation.
