How an Editor Went Bathing.

There was a recatts at Geneva lake. Wis.
On Monday last, and among he Chicago spec
t.toIs was Charles Wilson. the esteemed edi-
ter md proprietor Of the Evening Journal.
Mr. wills u has long taken a practical inter
est in the charming resort in question. and,
rs may be inferred, was prepared to specially
enjoy the !e; tivities of the regatta. He was
standing upon the bridge waiting for the boats
to start, when he was somewhat IGdely
though it appears uninlentionally joStled by a
strappine gentleman Just at his ehow.
The latter individual, although totally IN
known to Mr.. Wilson, was really almost as
much of character as the editor himself, be-
inc no lsss distinguished parsonage than
'Red-handed Mike" notetI bruiser in train
ing near Geneva lake for a forthcoming prize
fight.
Annoyed at having been so esrelessly push
ed, Mr.. Wilson turned a, gaze Of scoIn upon
the unknown so marked and severe As TO stir
at once the latteT's disgust.
MAY be you own this BRIDGE quoth Mi
ehae OF the nominally goiy palms.
swell, sntered Ir. Wilson. II probably
paid about as much for he bridge as any man
upon it,
perhaps you own tie whole lake, too?o
continued he of the sanguiuary DAVIS.
IL certainly have done more for its improve
meuts than dozen like you," Ietorted the
somewhat justly in ensed editor
There was a shade of sadness in the voice
of 'Red- Harded Mike" as he replied:
Then you had better light over into it ard
see how it is getting alon9;' at the same time
LAYING his brawDy tlsts upon the ast0nished
journalist and heaving him plump into the
water.
Friends promptly jerked the 1oundering in
voluntary bather back to shole. where, hav-
ing obtained a dry suit, AMI learning that he
Rad been ''c.,innng to professional bruiser
h sens;biy saw the magnitude of tle joke
and enjoys mention Of it as hugely as any
one else.

NoN-SUICIpAL PROFESSIONS. "A New
York correspondent says: 1t may be OBJ
served that editors, lawyers, or physicians
seldom commit suicide, because their pro-
fessions compel them to become interested in
Others. An editor has his paper to prepare
for the readers, and he lives in The great the
atre OF public opinion. Go into the sanctun
OF any of olir journals, small and great, and
talk suicide INTO its occupant if you can.
The lawyer is too excited about court busi-
ness to irdul2e in such notions. he will ot
commit suicide so long as he has a ellen: to
defend or a jury to confuse. The physician
is more liable to dependency than any other
profession, because he meets mankind in its
aspects Of sufierin-, and SEES enough of the
dark side OF life TO sicken him of existence,
but how seldom do we hear OF his dying of
sell-inficted violence?

Tho County Court.

This body convened on Monday last
-Csont, Judge Edwards and Justice
wilson, Dix, MCWhorter, Oliver
Hrulry, Smith, Stricklcr, Kemper an,
Turner,
The claims against tho county werl
anditcd and allowed a great deal Q
oad business attended to, Il largc
mount Of legal matters, and tho
County Levy fixed at 80 cents on The
800. This is q cents less than last
year; and it must be borne in mind
tibet The Court had to pay debt Of
81, $40 contracted by the Board o.
SupCryi,Ors-it being tho last bond
due on the Poor Farm, In addition to
this, o contingent fund Of $1,000 has
been prOyidcd-all out Of the 80 cent
levy.
synopsis Of the proceedings be pub.
lishod IN The DENoCRAT, and We shall
present portion to our readers next
week.
We desire to congratulate the Court
upon the happy result indicated above;
and We know that the people Of the
county, irrespective ofparty, will join
us. Tho County Court was made the
rreat hobby Of opposition to the now
Constitution. 1t was what would
break the back Of the camel, and ruin
the people. But what is the truth I
Why, in less than six months this
system has reduced taxation p cents
on every 500; it has paid a debt
contracted by the Supervisors Of
81, 2lO; it has provided large con
tingont fund; aud it has expedited the
course Of justice.
This is tho fulfllmcnt Of what We
prophcsicd when We argued for the
new Constitution; ann asked for it the
support of tic people. We then met
with bitter opposition; but we opinc
that this exhibit will be ominontly sat-
isfactory.
We now make another prophecy !
and we disClDim being u prophet or
he son ola prophct-but We know that
tho levy next year will DO consilerab'
ly less than tho present levy; and The
~
