Making a Newspaper.

The New York Herald, when Bennett
first started it, wasnot much larger than
sheet OF letter paper, but it gave much
light, minute and cheerful news. ItWas
full of short parag graphs, printed in small
type, and was an eminently saleable ar
ticle. Lit sold well from the first day, but
still Bennett had at first q terrible time.
The extreme cheapness of the paper rem
dered hia absolutely dependent uponits
advertisers, and yet he dared not charge
them more than fifty cents for square
of sixteen lines. So he had to cut down
the expenses to q minimum. He did
everything himself. He swept out his
cellar, he carried the paper to the few
subscribers it possessed, in the morning
he wrote the editorials, the news, the
criticisms. He did the reporting and the
book -keeping-all in fact, that was done.
He sat behind his barrels and his plank,
placidly writing, and when any one came
for paper, he never looked up but just
said, put the money on the counter and
take One.S His working day was sixteen
hours. In the morning, from to s, he
wrote editorials, in his bedroom. During
the business hours he was i'm the cellar
engaged i'll ordinary routine of editorial
work. About o'clock, havingprovided
abundant copy for the compOsitOrs, he
sailed forth into Wall street to compile
stock tables, and to get matter for spicy
paragraphs. From 4 to 6 he was in his
Office again, winding up the business OF
the day. ia the evening he was abroad
AT the theatres, or concert, ball or pub
lie meeting, which were faithfully writ
ten up and handed to the printers before
ha went to bed. He thus, like Atlas,
bore the whole weight of his world upon
his own shoulders.

New York, July 90, 1872.
Ethan Allen, Chairman Liberal Republican En-
ecutive Committee.
DEAR SIR-I am instructed by the
united Liberal party of Louisiana to
call your attention to the fact that a
general convention of the voters of the
State, opposed to Grant and favorable
to the election Of Greeley and Brown,
has been called to meet at New Orleans
on the fifth day of August to nominate a
State, congressional and electoral tick
ct, under the banner of national and
State reform and the leadership of
Greeley and Brown. am gratifed to
be able to report that the call, after
having been signed by more than four
thousand voters of the city of New Or
leans, has been numerously and enthu-
siastically responded to throughout the
State by large numbers of voters, in
cluding very many of our best known
and most influential citizens.
I AIN instructed by the United Libe-
raj Committee to say that they indulge
the hope that your committee will ap-
prove of their effort to enlist in this
movement all of the elements opposed
to Grants administration and favorable
to the election of the National Liberal
and Democratic tickets.
Very respectfully,
Representing Liberal Committee of
Louisiana.

KICKED BY A MULE.-Jake Johnson
had a mule. There is nothing remark
able in the mere fact of his being the
pOssessOr of such an animal, but there
was something peculiar about the mule,
He-the animal could kick higher, hit
harder, on the slightest prOvocatlon, and
act uglier than any other mule ON record.
One morning riding his property to
market Jake met BOggs, against whom
he had an old but concealed grudge. He
knew Jim's weakness lay in Dragging
and betting; therefore, he saluted him
accordingly.
''How are you, Jim? Fine morning?"
"Hearty, squire" replied Jim. "Fine
Will he do to bet on? Guess he will
that. | tell you, jim Boggs, he's the
best made mule in this country. Paid
$500 for him."
"Great smash Is that so ~ ejacula-
ted jim.
"Solid truth, every word of it. Tell
you confidently, Sam, I'm taking him
down for betting purposes. | bet he
can kick a fly off from any man with
out hurting him."
''NOw look here, Squire said jim, 81
am not a betting character, but I'll bet
you something on that myself"
"Jim, there's no Use; don't bet, don't
want to win your money"
Don't be alarmed, squire, I'll take
such bets as them every time"
"Well, il yOu are determined to bet,
will risk q small stake-say five dollars" :"
"All right, squire, you're my man. But
who'll he kick the fly off? There is no
one here but you and I. You try it.
No. says johnson; II have to be by
! the mules head to order him."
ooh! yass," says Jim. Then proba-
bly, I'm the man. Wal I'll do it, but
you are to bet ten against five, if | risk
"An right" quoth the Squire. "Now,
there is a fly on your shoulder. Stand
still" And Johnston adjusted the mule.
Whist, Jervey," said he.
The mule raised hiS heels with such
velocity and force that BOggs rose in
the air like q bird, and lighted on. all
fours in a muddy ditch, bang up against
rail fence.
Rising in a towering rage, he exclaim-
ed: 'Yass, that is smart! I knew your
darned mule couldn't do it. You had
that all put up. | wouldn't be kicked
like that for fifty dollars. You can Just
fork over them are stakes for it any
way"
"NOt so fast, jim; Jarvey did just
what l said he could; that is, kick a fly
off man without its hurting him. You
see the mule is not injured by the opera
tion.--HOweVer, If you are not satisfied,
we will try again, as often as You wish. :.
"The deuce you WILL" growled jim,
I'D rather have a barn fall ON me at
once than have that critter kick me a.
; gain. Keep the stakes, but don't say
anything about it."
And Boggs trudged on in bitterness
of soul, murmuring to himself, "Sold,
by thunder! and kicked by a muleH

walking without fear in the pestilence-
the Howard Association of New Orleans.
Look at the innumerable bodies of men
united together all over the world for
charitable, educational and similar pur-
pOSeS-these are frateTnities in the Dur-
est, nOblest sense of the word, and their
members are nOtunited " for mutual in
terest or improvement" but rather that
they may carry out the divine iniunc-
ton, " thou shalt love thy neighhOr as
thySelf.
The world is history of fraternities
almost all that has been accomplished
by man has been done by associating
with his kindred as brethren. Regard
the various ediices erected for public
purposes everywhere, and the greater
part OF them will be found to be the
work or the production of fraternities
Your churches, your places of public
amusement, your works of public i'm
provement, are all constructed by fra
ternltleS, and to them we may even say
we are indebted foT the constant and
uninterrupted march of civilization it.
self, and to them must we look also fOl
our progress upwards and Onwards in
the future. One of the fundamental
principles Of fraternity is i" UniOn,' fOl
without that it cannot exist. We all
remember the hOmely fable of the fa-
ther, his SONS and the bundle of sticks
and how easily the latter were broken
when separated and how utterly i'm
possible it was to injure them when
tightly bound together. That lesson is
ever applicable, and can never be more
so than at present. DiscOlu and strife
must be kept at a distance, and we learn
to accomplish that by bearing and for
bearing with each other. IF one of us
has Il fault or an imperfection, it is
more easily eradicated by forgiveness
seven times extended, than by rude re-
mOnstrance Or harsh punishment, and
an injury is sooner repaired, and resti,
tuition more quickly made, by a calm
lenlty and patience, than by a revenge,
full retaliation.
Masonry is the great example for the
world OF fraternities. It is the oldest
and it has accomplished more than al
others. 1t is more universal than an,
that has existed, and from all that W.
poor mortals can deduce from its pas
and its present, it bids fair to Outlivt
the world. This must result from thu
mmutable truths and virtues uDOl
which 1t is founded, and which its mis-
sion is to spread among all men, an(
thus it is perhaps, that the great prin
cIpIe OF fraternity is, in our teachings
placed first upon the list of the hol7
tenets of our ORDER, " Brother1y Love
Relief and Truth"

The August Convention.
From the Mansfield Reporter, July G.

tFrOm the Mansfield Reporter, July g.
Perhaps there was never ticket put
before the people that has created so
little enthusiasm as the State Democratic
ticket that was nominated by the late
Convention. In fact we know of but few
prominent papers throughout the State
that support it with any degree Of en-
thusiasm, those that do support it, seem
to do it because their allegiance to the
party demands it of them, and not be-
cause they think it is the ticket that is
most likely to insure success. The
people seem to think that unless some
thing is done to inspire confidence in the
masses, the radical negro ticket will
carry the State. Looking from this
standpoint, we think the only hope for
the State is in the Convention called to
meet in August, which will be after the
Baltimore Convention has fulfilled its
mission, and hepeOple can have better
knowledge, as to what the interest of
the country demands. One faction of
the Republican party meets in New Or
leans about the same time that the
peoples Convention will assemble, and
there is little doubt that if liberal men
should be nominated, that faction would
endorse the ticket, land thusinsurei it's sue
cess. We hear many blood and thunder
politicians arguing that they had rather
suffer defeat than to be successful by
forming an alliance with such men.
Such talk reminds us of the man, who,
when he discovered his house on fire,
refused to use any but clear water to
put it out, remarking that he had rather
see it entirely destroyed, than to see it
sOiled or stained by the use of muddy or
filthy water. Our beloved State is now
sinking to ruin as fast as corruption and
misrule can carry it, and it behooves
every patriot to exert himself to the ut
most of his ability to redeem it without
regard to the means adopted to accom-
fuses to take part in the redemption of
our State, because he cannot make up
his mind to affiliate with certain men or
parties, displays about the same quality
and quantity of brains, as the man who
suffered his building to be destroyed, be-
cause of conscientious scruples. We
know the people of Louisiana are not
devoid of patriotism, for they gave am
pie proof of their love of country, dur
ing the late war, when they sacrificed
their all for their cOuntry's cause.
Louisiana needs the service of her sons
at the polls now, as much as she needed
them in the army in 1861, and as any,
thing was fair in war, so anything
should be considered right to-day, that
will result in securing an honest admi-
nistration of the State government. Let
everybody, without regard to race,
color or previous condition, come to the
mass meeting to be held on the 18th
inst, and take part in the affair, let us
select delegates to the Convention, in
whose ability and patriotism we have
confidence, and after mature c0nsidera-
ton, let them endorse the present Demo-
cratic ticket if they see proper, but if
they think the interest of the country
demands another ticket, let them put it
forward.

Death and Sleep.

Stern5Aolemn Death, and quiet, lovely Sleep,
The angel guards of slumber and of death
In brothcr1ike embrace walked DER the earth.
Still eyeIin@ slowly settled on the scene,
As on which overlooked
The Id o. 4ileffthe lay them down to rest.
A melancholy silence reigned around.
The gentle t0lling of the yesper bells
In distant towns and villages grew mute.
Silent, these benefactOrs of mankind
Lay fOndly clasped within each others arms,
And darkness threw her shadow Ger the land.
Then, rising from his messy COUCH Sleep strewed
The seeds of Sltnnber with a moiseless hand.
The evening zephyr waited them away
To give fep6se to to Natures wcaPed sOns.
Sweet Slumber now enf0lded in its arms
The inmates OF the rural cottages,
From h0ary grandsire t0ttering ON his staff
To infant Graded in its downy couch
The sick ones racking pains, the mOurners grief,
The poor mans worrying cares, were all forgot,
And every eye was sealed i'll calm rcpOse.
His work accomplished, Sleep returned to rest,
And by his brothers side lay down once more.
When morning broke, he wakened with u smile
And with cheerful innocence exclaimed,
oh, what a joy, in secret to perform
Our acts Of goodness! Oh, how happy we,
The unseen messengers of good to men.
So spake this friendly Guardian of sleep,
While Death i'll sadness answered him, with tears
In his dark eyes such as immOrtals weep:
Not like You, can grateful thanks enjoy;
The world regard me only as a foe,
AS disturber of its joy and peace.
Oh, Brother mine, his angel friend replied,
VIII not the good acknowledge you a friend,
And bless you at the resurrection mOTn2
Are we not brothers of one family,
And Of one common Father messengers?
Tlis said, from Deaths eye shot lustrous CLEAN
And tenderly those brother genii embraced.

From the Raptdes Gazette.

Rapides has always had the name of
being one of the most unfinching, lln-
Wavering and compromising democrat
parishes in the State, and the Louisiana
Democrat our neighbor, the reputation
of being one of the most unfinching,
unWaVing, uncomprOmising and ablest
organs of Democraeyin this or any other
State. and both have been frequently
eomDlimented on the fact and cited as
exemplars. The last nuInberof the De-
mocrat hoists, as was expected, the Gree
ley and Brown banner in its appropriate
place, while the united'' State ticket (so-
called instead of succeeding or being
placed directly under it as in other pro-
nounced Democraticp papers, finds place
at the head of the last column on the
editorial page merely as anitem of news.

insignificance before an advertisement
