How TO BE AN EDITOR. "A good
editor must combine the loqnacity OF
a magician with the impudence of the
devil. He must know how to time a
horse race, teach a Sunday school,
preach a charity sermon, run Il saw
mill, keep a hotel and brew whskey.
He must be insensible to the cruelest
snubs, and manifest no sense Of anger
when kicked down stairs. He must
throw modestv to the hogs, and let
the tigers howl, But above all things
else, he must be an adept at putting.
He must be enthusiastic on the sub
ject of hams verbose in extrolng
hardware, and highly imaginative in
the matter of dry goods. He must
talk learnedly OF programmes, with a
liberal mixture of glowing words.
He must be heavy on concert, with
q capacity to appreciate Miss Squeak $
execution of difficult feats in the
upper strata, and ecstatic and elo-
quent in behalf Of every one connec-
ted with it.

publican, the veritablc remains OF

lie in state in the Mayors parlor in
the City Hall at New Orleans, cnrascd
in the leaden wrapping to which they
were lowered into the Mississippi rir-
cr three hundred and forty years ago.
The identity of the remains seemed 70
be proven by the inscription, in Span

firmly welded around the leadcn co, =

EMIGRATION FROM GERMAN. The
flow of Emigrants from the Fatherland
continues steadily to increase with the
growth Of spring. The consolidation
Of Germany under the empire does
not tend to stay the outpourlng OF her
children German unity fails to check
emigration to the United States. In
a greater aud more free and prosper
GUS land Hans and Gretchen prefer to
speak of the far oft Fatherland rather
than enjoy at home those beauties Of
which they speak so enthusiastically
abroad 1t would seem, indeed, that
distance lends enchantment to Tao

is sung with a gusto on the shores Of

How They Shave In China.

A fellow who has been shaved in
China says that his barber first strapped
the razor on his leg, and then did the
shaving without any lather. The Gus
toner demonstrated, but was told that
the lather was entirely useless, and had
a tendency to make the hair stiff and
tough, and was, therefore, never used
by persons who had any knowledge Of
the face and its appendages.
After the beard had been taken of
and it was done in very short time
the barber took a long, sharp, needle
shaped spoon, and began 10 explore his
customers ears. He brought up from
numerous little crevices bits of wax and
dirt that had been accumulating since
his childhood. The barber suddenly
twisted his subjects neck to one side in
such manner that it cracked as ii the
verfebr@ had been dislocated.
"Hold onr' shouted the party,
alarmed for TIE safety of his neck.
"All right" replied the tonsor, me
no hurt you," and he continued to jerk
and twist the neck until it was as linn
Der as an old laGy's dish.rag. He then
fell to beating the back, breast, arms,
and side with his fist, then he pummeled
the muscles, until they fairly glowed
with the beating they received. He
then dashed bucket of cold water over
his man, dried his skin with towels,
and declared that his work was done.

Castor Beans Death to Stock.

It seems certain that castor beans will
kill horses and cattle. Within . year
or two it has been stated in the Farmers'
Club, of New York city, that if placed
in the paths of moles or in tho holes of
gophers they would exterminate these
animals. Now it il recorded that span
of horses died in Nebraska within
twenty.four hours after cat ng . half
handful of castor beans divided equally
between them. Commenting upon this
fact, the Prairie Farmer says: "That
castor beans injure stock is certain, and
that death has resulted from eating them
seems also sure. Among the earlier acts
passed by the Legislature Of this STATE.
was one attaching severe penalties to
persons who left castor beans in exposed
situations or left fields Of them exposed
30 that cattle could enter"
