"MARK TWAINv as a REPORTER.

The life of a reporter was described
by MARX" in one of his recent
lectures at Chicago, in the following
terms:
reported on that morning news
paper three years, and it was pretty
hard work. But 1 enjoyed its attrac-
ton. Reporting is the best school
in the world to get a knowledge OF
human beings, human nature, and
human ways. a nice, gentlemanly
reporter make no references-is
welItreated byeverybOdy. Just think
of the wide range OF his Acquaintance
ship, his experience of life and soei-
etyi No other occupation brings a
man into such sociable relations with
all grades aud classes of people. The
last at night-midnight-hc goes
browsing around after items among
police and jail-birds, in the lookup,
questioning the prisoners, andmaking
pleasant and lasting, friendships with
some of the worst people in the world.
Laughter And the very next we
ming he gets himself up, regardless of
expense, puts on all the good clothes
his friends have got, [laughterl goes
and takes dinner with the governor,
or commander-in-chie of the district,
the United States senator, and some
more Of the upper crust of society,"
is on good terms with all of them,
and is present at every public gather
ing and has easy access to every
riety of people. Why, I breakfasted
every morning with the gov
enor, and dined with the principal
clergyman, and slept in the station
house. lLaughter.l
q reporter has to lie q little, of
or they would discharge him.
That is the only drawback TO the pro-
fession. That is why 1 left it.
Laughter I ain different from
Washington; 1 have a higher and
grander standard of principle

John W. PittocR, of PittsDuTg, pub
Usher of the EUeaiag Leader, deserv-
es TO be known through the land
Fora number of years past he has
celebrated New Years day in a way
peculiar to himself, but well worthy
Of praise and imitation. His way
hiss been to collect GIL the t"Street
Arabs, The naw- hoys and boot
blacksand all the little neglected ones,
in one of the large hallsand there give
them a square mealn of oysters and
whatever else is best to eat. He con-
ducts the affair entirely himself,
hiring his own assistance, seeing to
and paying for all. This years dinner
was the 18th and more than 800 hun
CRY urchins were filed, at an expense,
which the Gazette puts at $500. The
galleries were filled, as is always the
case, with representatives of the better
class of society to the number of a
thousand. The distribution of one
hundred dress patterns by the con-
gregation of the Universalist church
to the mothers of the worthy news
boys at the dinner, was a pleasing epi-
sOde connected with the OCCASION
Notthe least commenable feature of
this excellent practice, is that Mr..
Pittock is in no wise ostentatious.-
Having been a news-boy himself, as
we understand, he treats the boys as
once he wonld have liked to be
treated. and that is all.

STARTLING DISC0VERY.--During

a traveller entered, benumbed with

him room to warm his shins, so he
leaned back against the wall in the
back part of the room.
Presently "a smart young limp OF
the law addressed him, when the fol-
lowing dialogue took place:

Conversation about religious things
is not necessarily religious much Of
it is very irreIigious. All such con-
~versation that is dictated by suspicion,

selfish and therefore irreLigiOuS. Reli-

dictated by Christian charity. 1t is
always reYereat toward God, and

in the House. What handsome fellow
he was in 1858, in his 37th year, and how
he famed in debate He ought to be
living to day, and would be il he had
been little less selfish. John B. We'll
Ter, of Ohio, transplanted himself to Call
ifornia in the exodus year OF 1850 sue
ceeded Fremont in the Senate in 1851,
and was aiterward Governor of the State.
He is. believe, living in New Orleans.
Thomas j. Henly, of Indiana, belonged
to the same emigration. He made the
longest and best stump speeches ever
heal d, and could hold crowd together
for hours at u stretch. Brodetick, 1.-The
noblest Roman OF them ALL" was, l think,
in the mines as early as 1919. He fed
from New York and its degradations and
dug for living in the gulches, but he was
soon called forth to lead in the formation
of the Constitution of the new State and
to sit in and preside over the State SEN
ate. Chosen Senator in Congress in
1856, and refusing to sanction the treach
cry of Buchanan on the Kansas question,
he was killed in duel by Southern se-
cessionist in 1859. John Conness, one OF
the disciples of Broderck, was one OF
the first emigrants to California, and
served in various public positions till he
was chosen Senator in Congress in 1868
The gold discovery, following directly
after the conquest of California, stimu-
lated the rush from the old States, North
and South. That revelation made the
ancient Spanish settlement tho seat OF
new American empire. 1t seemed
providential sequel to great interna-
tional event, and you will note how the
men l have named were nodded and
mastered in the developments Of the
times. Every one OF them left home
pro-slavery Democrat, with the excep-
ton OF General Fremont, and they were
either forced into sympathy with the re-
bellion, and with its collapse closed their
political career, or took bold ground
against the rebellion, and SO live in the
gratitude Of posterity. California is no
longer an outpost of slavery or Democ-
racy. New men have succeeded the pi-
oneers ; men like Cole, Sargent and Low.
The bad influence that ruled the State
has passed away. The old slow ocean
passage has yielded to the genius of the
rail. Continents make treaties by tele
graph and interchange commodities by
steam. DISTANT nations are made neigh
bors and thoughts that could only be
spoken or written for few, twenty
years ago, fly in an instant into millions
OF minds in the renotest regions. The
ideas OF Brodelick, and Baker, and Starr
King survive the evil sophi,tIies oi Gwin
and Weller and leaven the whole muss
OF dogmas that came 50 near losing for Us
a country.

DID Nor SuCCEED.-A San Francis
co paper relates the following: About
two months ago very beautiful, lady
like and accomplished woman arrived in
San francisco by the overland railroad,
and booked her name at one Of the fret
class hotels MS Mrs. Geraldine, from Bos-
ton, Mass. She had large amount OF
baggage, and was supposed to be the
vie ol IL millionaire. She stated that
her husband had been in China ior sew
eral years, engaged in mercantile bust
ness, and that she expected to meet him
in San Francisco; but owing to unioie-
seen ir,umstances, over which he had
no control, he had informed her by let
ter that he cou.d not meet her acco ding
To lomise ior some weeks, and advised
her IA take lodgings in some tist-class
lodging house where she would have the
ago the lady removed from the hotel 10
lodging house which had been recon-
mended. Since this lady had been in
San Francisco she had attended several
balls and parties, and has been the re-
cipient OF marked but very polite atten-
tions from some OF our first families.
But last week gentleman rang the door
bell at the lodging-house and inquired of
the polite attendant il Mrs. was
stopping there. Being informed that
the lady occupied such room, giving
the number, the gentleman went up stairs
and knocked at the door, which was
opened by the lady occupant. The gen
tleman knew her at once but she did not
know him. He then Informed her of his
business He told her that he was de-
tective from Boston, and that he had n
warrant for her arrest for forgery. 1t
appears that the lady is the wife of
Boston merchant, and that for some
cause or other she forged her husbands
name TO a check for 80, 900 on one OF the
city banks in Boston, and after dlaw-
ing the money fed to California for the
purpose OF meeting a lover who had been
in China. AT first the lady denied her
name and all knowledge OF the affair
but when the detective informed her that
her husband had given him instructions
not to expose her by arresting her ii she
would quietly accompany the officer to
Boston and return the money, she con-

which she gave to the officer. Ii is said
that she now feels very repentant aud
