The New Ruler in Mexico.

A very momentous change has
taken place IN thecondition OF Mexico.
A great anchor has been lost to that
storm-beset country. President Jnarez

he poesesssd any peculiar priilianre,
bot because be had q colidity about
Kim that nothing could shake. lie
Yves az confident in fight as he was in
the hou. of success. lie had as much

As . fugitive in Eagle Pass he never
doubted about his ultimate success in
oYerthrowing the empire of Macmillan.
Asa Mexican, he relied upon the
Ne1ieans to work out their own re-
demption. The Indian blood in his
veins made him a stole in adversely !;
the same sdmixture made him cautious.
Surrounded by rivals, menaced by
ambitious chieftains, he never seemed
to know that there was any man in
his way. He did not allow his enc
mics to know that he was against
them. His plan vas to make his toes
declare themselves, even while he
seemed to DO relying upon theiI
friendship. Ortega held an appoint
ment under Juarez even while no was
conspiring against him. Ocampo was
in his Cabinet while intriguing for the
Presidency. Tejada has always been
his opponent. Porfrio Diaz held the
highest military command in the re
public, and yet he has been connected
with two rebelliOns against his COM.
mander.in-chief. Juarez did not take
any notice of these attempts against
his authority. He trusted all his enc
mics with important positions, but he
had way of playing one against the
other that secured his own safety and
success. In this he was the superior
OF JEFF Davis, for he allowed the best
ability to succeed in behalf of the
State, and then no managed to get
the greater half of the credit. Davis
would not tolerate great General
outside of Virginia, because he was
afraid Johnston, BeauIegard or Price
might eclipse his own popularity.

States OF these It is safe to say that
not more than one hundred are ALSO

pensioners npon r;sities, churches and

modern system OF Journalism, which is
an exact science, has not yet asserted
its dominion. There. are not twelve
men in America-there are not twenty
in the world-capable of handling
what is known as a first-class daily
newspaper in America. There might
be fifty. There ought to be a hundred.

The President broke silence but
once, and that was to buy copy OF
Iiarper's Weekly ola news-bey with
face SO singularly ugly that it de-
serves to be immortalized on the
canvas. He took out from among his
papers q copy of the desired paper,
and the President handed him o If
teen cent stamp in return. The boy,
who evidently recognized in the gen.
tleman with the white linen buster
the President of the United States,
aeluded himself with the fond hope
that the Chief Magistrate would make
him present of the balanee-but he
was mistaken. The President held
out his hand to receive the change.
The boy fumbled in his capaciOus
pockets for abOu. half a minute, still
hoping that the word would be
"never mind the change :" but the
Presidential hand did not relax, so, at
last, he drew forth the fiye-cent nickel
and placed it in the palm of the Presi-
dent of the United States, who quietly
Slipped ii into his pocket. The Presi.
dent then sat down to peruse the
paper. The Bohemian still chung to

4 SAD STORY.-A recent letter from
Boston tells this sad story:
y funeral procession passed by yes.
te1day. A young man told me a sto-
~ that 1 think has peculiar sadness
about it. At Saratoga. last season, at
one of the largest balls, was young
lady with the most charming and
fascinating manners and graces. Her
toilet was equally as pleasing. She
Vac the belle of the ball-aD honor
accorded her without dissent. Her
attendant during tho evening was a
young man dressed almost gaudily.
and bearing himself with all the dis.
tasteful sclf.concet of brainless
millionaire. He was the son of Bes.
ton leather dealer. AEsrYFT
He met the lady at Saratoga for
the first time last seasui. and she, BY
direction of her parents. who, We're
also wealthy, and who strongly insist
ell upon the arrangement. became bis
aflianced. Previous to this she had
met young gentleman, also of Bos
tou, Of the utmosy respectability, of
thorough honor and Integrity, but
without fortune. To him she had
been more than friend. in fact, al.
most a betrothed. He was young.
had risen by his own stern efforts,
aud was, it is said, possessed of stprl.
ing and promising abilities, which in
time must have won him wealth and
perhaps distinction. TI2 fiSiItY
On the. return of tho lady from
Saratoga last season, her engagement
prevented her from further intercourse
with Ter first snitor, and he was dis
missed. His grief was pittnl. He
strove not to increase it by word or
action, but the very efforts he so
laboriously made exposed the, poig-
nancy of his wounds. The lady lived
with her husband in the suburbs of
the city al large and costly residence
Tor one month after their marriage.
BY that time the abuse Of the hils.
band compelled an immediate sepera-
ton. He was incOntinently shipped
TO Europe, where he still remains, and
the young wife was left to gradually
decline in health until death ensued
but not before she had reproached her
parents for driving her to the alliance
which wrought such early ruin and
blasted such bright hopes and expec
tations. .f.l.-...i -.
AS the funeral procession passed up
q public street, the first lover, while
with ,blanched cheeks and
moist eyes the sad cortege, fell TO the
ground while suffering All attack OF
hemorrhage of the lungs, He was
carried into q physicians office near,
where he died before the body of the
one he 80 tenderly and truly loved was
laid in Its last resting place. u IL ]

III ah,
MAKING A NEwspAPER--The New
York Herald, when Bennett first
started it. was not much larger than
,sheet OF letter paper, but it gave
much light, minute and cheerful ne VIZ.
it'wasfnilO of short aragraphs print
ed in siuall l.! pc, and WAS an eminent.
ly salealsie article. 1t sold well from
the first day, but still Bennett had at
first a terrible time. The extreme
cheapnrss of the paper rendered him
absolutely dependent upon its adver.
tisers, and yet he dared not charge
them more than fifty cents for a
square of sixteee lines So he had to
cut down the expenses to n 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, = plaeidly
writing, and When. any one came for u
paper, he neser looked up but Just
said, "put the money on the counter
and take one.n His working day. was
sixteen hours. In the morning, from
D to y, he wrote editorials, IN his bed
room. During the business hours he
WAS in the cellar engaged in ordinary
routine OF editorial work. About /
o'clock, having provided abundant CO.
Ply for the compositors, he sailed forth
into Wall Street to compile stock tn
,bles, and to get, matter for spicy para.
graphs. From A to6I be was in his
Office again, winding up the business
OF the day. In the evening he was
abroad--at the theatres, or concert,
hall or public meeting. which were
faithfully written up and handed to
the printers before he went to bed.
He thus, likee Atlas, bore the whole
weight Of his world upon his own
shoulders. io s'4- m-H

THE OCTOBER ELECTIONS.

The result of the elections. on the
6th has now been definitely ascertained.
Hartranft's majority in Pennsylvania ex-
ceeds 10000. The Legislature is Re-
publican, securing United States Sen.
ator, and there has been a gain to the
Republicans of six members of Congress.
This, for doubtful state, is doing well
enough.
The Republican majority in Ohio,
will vary little from 5000. The Dem
ocrats gained two Congressman in Ham
ilton county. President Grants major
ity in the state, in November, NAV be
safely set down at double the present
figures.
In Indiana Hendricks has squeezed
into the gubernatorial chair by a few
hundreds, but the Republicans elected
the acknowledgement and the;Congress-
man at large gained two Congressman,
and obtained majority of the State Leg
lslature, thus making it certain that Sen
ator Morton will be reelected to the DO
sltlon he now honors. Indiana, which
Is almost as Bourbon in politics as Ken
lucky, will elect the Grant electoral
ticket by majority about which there
can be no cavil.
No wonder the New York World in
contemplating these elections, says,
"there IS nothing in all this to throw
US (the Democracy into ecstasies of con-
fidence and careless hope
