About q NeWspaper.

The Louisville Courier-.Jou8'-
nal. has the following sensible
remarks-regarding the manage
ment of a newspaper: L
Some people estimate the a.
bility of a newspaper and the
talent of its editor by the guam
tity of original matter. 1t is
comparatively an easy task for
q frothy writer to pour out dai-
Iy 4 column OF words-words
upon any ard all subjects. His
ideas may flow in one weak,
washy, everlasting food, and
the command of his language
may enable him to string them
together like onions, and yet
his paper may be a weak con-
Germ. Indeed the mere writing
part of editing a paper is but u
small portion Of the work.
The care, the time employed in
selecting, is far more important,
and the tact of a good editor is5>
better shown by his selections
than anything else; and that,
we know, is half the battle
But, as we have said, an editor
ought to be estimated and his
labor understood and appreci-
ated by the general conduct of
his paper-its tone, Its uniform
consistent course, its aims, man
illness, its dignity and its pro-
pricty. To preserve these as
they should be preserved, is G.
nough to occupy fully the time
and attention of any man. If
to this be added the general SUI
peryision of the newspaper es-
which most editors
have to encounter, the wonder
is how they find time to write
at all.

High Waters.

The MemphisAcalanche says:
An idea of the condition of our
friends in the overfiowed dis
trict, down the river, may be
had from the following: An
attorney in this city wrote to
the clerk of one of the courts
at Napoleon for a transcript of
a certain case. The clerk re-
piled: "Your transcript was
in progress, but the waters
moved me, my family, my fur
niture, my office and my.records,
and then your transcript ceased.
AT present I am in the upper
part of the jail, but, then, thank
the Lord, the sheriff is in here
with me. 1t is the largest, high
est, and meanest water that ever
was here-a foot higher than in
1861. They baptise converts
OFT of the second-story windows
of churches. Please telegraph
the weather man at W ashington
to close up the rainy and stor-
my department for season.
and let us have a little high,
rising mercury Yours with
out respect to any one while
this water lasts, r. E. d." The
past few days leaves us to fear
that converts must be baptized
from the church cupolas.

As was stated above, this
Theory of transplanting blood
from one person to another is
no new one; but DR.. McMas-
ters' theory, that the blood thus
transplanted grows as any other
graft does, supplied by nutri-
ment of the fluid into which it
is thrown, is claimed as purely
original.
This is the seventeenth time
DIR. McMasters has performed
this operation, and the seventh
patient he has treated in this
manner. The first one recov-
cred after three operations, and
is now working on his farm near
Toronto, Canada, from which
place the doctor comes. The
second subject stood three OPP
elations and gradually lyrecovered.
The third was operated on four
times before mimportant change
took place, but gradually re-
covered and is now in Florida.
The fourth was lady named
Coppin, of Toronto. She showed
symptoms of recovery after the
operation and finally recovered
attoT the fourth.
A significant fact in the OPP
Grafton yesterday was that up
on opening the vein of the pa
tient the blood showed quite a
different appearance from that
developed on the first operation.
Yesterday it was f1orid and
healthy looking, on the first oc-
casion it bore a strong resem-
bIance to muddy claret wine.-
The husband of the lady who
thus generously divides his life's
blood, in order to preserve if
possible the life of his wife, is
a strong, well-built, muscular
man, the very personifcation
of health and manhood. He
parts with the invigorating
fluid with a smile, as he has firm
confidence in the efficacy of the
treatment,

To these two original diversi-
ties may be reduced all those
impertinent classifications of

All the dwellers upon earth,
"Parthians and Medes and Ella

urally fall in with one or other
of these prime distinctions
The infinite superiority of
the former, which [ choose to
designate as the ''great race" "
is discernible in their figure,
port, and a certain instructive
sovereignty. The latter are
born degraded: "He shall serve
his brethren" There is some
thing in the air Of one of this
cast, lean and suspicious, con-
trasting with the open, trusting,
generous manners of the Others.
Observe who has been the

confounding of those pedantic
distinctions of meune and tetum j.!
or rather what a noble simplifi-
cation of language (beyond
Tooke,) resolving these sup
posed opposites into one clear,
Ineligible pronoun adjective!
What near approaches doth he
make to the primitive coHlTu-
nifty, to the extent of one-half
of the principle at least!
He who is the true taxcr who
"calleth all the world up to be
taxed;" and the distance is as
vast between him and one of
US, as subsisted the Augustan
majesty and the poorest obo-
larry Jew that paid it, tribute
pittance, at Jerusalem! His
exactions, too, have such a
cheerful, voluntary air! So far
removed from your sour paroch-
ial or State gatherers, those ink
horn varlets, who carry their
want OF welcome in their faces!
He cometh to you with smile,
and troubleth you with no re-
ceipt; confning himself to no
set season. Every day is his
Candlemas, or his feast of Holy
Michael. He applieth the leue
tormentasna of a pleasant look to
your purse-which to that gen.
tie warmth expands her silken
leaves, as naturally as the cloak

and wind contended! He is the
true Propontic which never eb-

delighteth to honor, struggles
