A VERY Foolish YOUNG CoUNrRYMAN.

A VERY FOOLISH YOUNG COUNTRYMAN.
There IS no room among the crowded
columns of the HERALD to re-bash mat
ters of local character after they have
been once fairly told, as the story about
the robbery of Charles w. Lambert was
this morning. To put the whole thing
into nutshell this man Lambert is
not only a greenhorn. but fool, in ev-
cry sense of the word, including the
pungent description that generally goes
with a certain profane adjective that be-
gins with SD and ends with an "n."
He came to Boston from that beautiful
suburban place known as Jamaica Plain,
where most of the people are right on
ulIeiI Suoa -pcnayIoI, wnoro ounudy
schools and other institutions are in full
operation to make people do as they
should do. Sometimes they do it and
sometimes they don't do it, and this is
one of those times when they DON'T
Some time during Friday, the 10Th of
April this chap Lambert came to the
Hub. Up on Washington street. young
woman named Jennie Whitcomb, who is
mighty naughty, and is often in court
to answer for her frivolities, picked him
up. She put this greenhorn through
the usual course of sprouts, and finally
got him into Pleasant street, to the house
Of Thomas and Emily Watson, where he
was both pelted and robbed. They got
a pistol from him, valued at SIS. and
attempted to take his gold watch, val
ued at $50. The watch arrangement
did not go off very satisfactorily. But
Lambert wanted to get even some way,
so he went down into Lagrange street,
saw Capt. Meyers and told him what had
happened. Here it was that he learned
for the first time that he made a big
mistake as he did not care particularly
about the loss, but was very anxious not
to have his name in the papers, as it
might tell against him among the good
folks at Jamaica Plain. SO he all at
once became very reticent about the mat
ter, and when an examination was had
in Municipal Court to-day it was hard
to learn just how rough Jennie and this
Watson woman had used him. But af-
ter fashion, enough was learned to
satisfy Judge Churchill that Jennie
Whitcomb and Thomas and Emily Wat
son had tried to rob young Lombert, so
they were held in $500 for trial at the
May term Of the Supreme Court. And
then Lambert was trotted round into the
dock and required to give bonds in the
sum of 800 to appear as witness in
the case. As he could not do this he
Jumped into the Black Maria and rode
down to Charles street That's what
becomes of very foolish young men from

TROUBLES OF NEWSPAPERS.

TROUBLES OF NEWSPAPERS. - The
Richmond (Va.) Christian Advocate,
commenting on the newspaper business,
publishes the following interesting arti-
Gle on the subject, which may be read
with profit by others than those engaged
in the arduous pursuit of publishing a
newspaper:
There are two great troubles about
newspaper-one grows out of the effort
to make it live, the other out of the eff
fort to please everybody. The first
trouble may be overcome, the second
never. Every newspaper man in the
world has an ideal as he calls it-per-
haps he means idol-and is always try
ing to reach it, and never does, which is
very strange. Some people believe that
there is fortune in every newspaper in
the whole world, from Nova Zembla to
Victoria Land. These people are very
honest. very sincere, and very innocent
in this belief If they had to try the
harness on, and work in it awhile, they
would sing another tune. Note what
follows: The Christian Standard, of Gin
cinnati, states that although its affairs
are conducted with the strictest economy,
|
and its subscribers number l2,000 1t
has thus far cost $4,000 more than It's
income. 1t says that The Advance, of
Chicago, with a still larger subscription
list, sunk about $4,000 in four years,
and had not become self-sustaining when
the late fire occurred that The Interior,
in less than two years, has used up a
capital of nearly $4,000; and that the
Standard, Of Chicago, was not self-sus-
tanning. But all these papers learn a
lesson, and that is that credit is the
death of newspapers. Hence, if you take
these papers, they will let you run to
the day you pay up to, and then drop
you like hot potato that is, unless you
renew. Cash is their life. Go to the
New York Herald office-that magnif-
cent establishment grew out of Wall
Street cellar. Do you wish to take the
Herald? Down with your money. Dc

WHAT CANE OF ANSWERING AN AD-
vERTIsEMENT FOR WIFE.-The Rondout
Freeman says that very respectable
young lady of Saugerties, New York, has
had her reason completely restored, late
ly, as the following incident shows: She
discovered in some paper an advertise
ment purporting to have come from a
highly respectable (worthy and hand
some, of course) christian young man,
desiring some young lady to correspond
with him. probably with view toward
matrimony. Now, as she was a plain
country lass, although her folks were
well-to-do people, she was by no means
one who should waste her sweetness on
the desert air. so she concluded to an
swer In due time reply came, and as
time passed on the letters became more
and more afectionate. At last affairs
came to a crisis, and the young gallant
was invited to come and see her. He
did come. But alas for her hopes and
fancies of delight he came dead-drunk.
But the joke of it was, he had to go two
or three miles out of the village, and ev-
cry house he went to be inquired if Miss
- lived there. Being very tight he
would generally state the object of his
visit to her, and would read her last let
ter. and then pass on to the next house.
He made out to arrive at her house
at ten o'clock at night. The
old folks were absent, but two sisters
were there. The meeting can better be
imagined than described suffice it to say
that the correspondence ceased.

THE TEXAS CATTLE HERDER.

The herder is character. He is be-
gotten of necessity, as was the army
hummer. He is sent to fulfill mission !;
and that mission is sherdin' steers" no
one who has ever seen him can for a mo-
ment doubt. His pedigree is as much a
matter of doubt as that of his steers
His relationship to the gentle cow-herd
of the story books and the pastoral poets
IS certainly very remote. The cow-herd
of the books is depicted as mild man
nered young man with melancholy air,
lolling about in the shade, reading his
testament, or the Sorrows of Werter, "
Ing vn his back Oh Uhv--olsoU Uurr duu
counting the thistle downs sailing thro'
the blue sky overhead, or walking hand
in hand with his dove-eyed Phyllis, pour
ing sentimental nonsense into her list

that he can read at all (ten to one that
he cannoD takes along stray copy of
the Police Gazette, or Beadle's Number
1853, with which to fill up the intervals
between poker and three-card monte
His Phyllis does not keep him company
while he is ''herdin'," but, arrayed in
purple and fine store clothes, she awaits
his coming at the dance house in the
nearest market town. where, amid the
squeaking of fddles, the clink1ng of
glasses, shouts, curses and pistol cracks,
they pass the night in drunken carnival.
As | have said, we know nothing of his
antecedents. As to where and when he
was born, or whether, like Topsy, he
Jest growed,' are unsolved problems.
He may have had babyhood and boy
hood, but we have no proof of those facts.
Our first acquaintance with him is in the
prime of manhood, when he presents
himself a full-fedged herder. He is usu-
ally tall, muscular, active, and, but for
shockingly bowed legs, from his constant
seat in the saddle. we'll built; hair long
and unkempt and sun-faded; in dress
generally indifferent as to color and text
ure, pair of jean pantaloons thrust in
to high topped boots, woolen shirt, a
belt containing small arsenal of pistols
and cutlery, slouch felt hat of great
width of brim, often a genuine Mexican
somabrero. A part of himself might be
reckoned his horse, from which he is al
most inseparable. In morals the herder
is not model young man for the Sun
day school books. He possesses all the
vices that his limited education permits,
and if he omits any it is not his fault.
AS profane swearer he has few equals,
as gambler he is not surpassed, and as
a consumer of mean whiskey he is with
out peer. Prodigal with his money,
needless of the future, he lives for the
day only, and his brief life is usually
brought up with short turn by pistol
shot in drunken brawl. His vices are
counterbalanced by some virtues Gen
erous and open-hearted, he will spend
his last dollar for his friends, or risk his
life in defense of a comrade in danger.
Living his whole life without the pale
of civilized society, associated with vile
men and viler women, it is only won-
der that he is no worse than he is.

EQUAL TO ENCHANTMENT.-When the
passenger trains escaped from their thirty
days snow blockade on the Pacific Rail-
way, and the engines, still glistening
with ice, ran into the delicious atmos-
phere of the western slope of the noun
tains, the California settlements testified
their hospitality by bearing to the un-
fortunate passengers fresh fruits and
flowers grown in the open air only few
miles from the scene of that terrible lev
storm. The gilt was symbolical of the
extraordinary country, in which the
fruits of August are laid in the lap
of winter, the blossoms of spring perfume
the whole year, and the sower and reap
er walk the fields together.
