mpERsoxAL JOURNALISM.


We have heretofore claimed that no
newspaper could be % separated from
Its proprietors or editors a. to escape
the effect Of their influence, ideas or
controlling motives. The Enterprise.
under its late management, denied the
fact and disputed the proposition. Tho
result just announced In that journal
fully aud completely substantlates u
theory. The Enterprise exists, but Its
whilom proprietor and editor has
ceased to write impersonal articles In
its columns. Tho Enterprise changes
with its editor. Its columns represent
his sentiments, and tho public recog-
nizs the change. They look to the ed.
itor and proprietsrs for the proper N
duct Of Its columns, no to the Enter
prise, its paper, its presses or its CON-
positors. Personality appears. The
change between It's former aud its pres
ent editor Is marked. and the reading

clally Is thls the case when those arti-
cles make grave charges. and mlsrep-

a CASE FOR LAwYEBs.-Thc people Of
Massachusetts are ahxiously awaiting the
opinion Of their Attorney General AS to
whether the State does or does not own
the lloosac Tunnel. Twenty years ago
the Troy and Greenfield Railway Com
pany finding itself unable to push the en-
terprise, applied to the legislature for as
sistance. A bill was passed and the State
advanced two million dollars on mort
gage Of the road But little progress was
made, and after several years the legisIa-
ture decided to take possession under the
mortgage and proceed with the tunneling
as a State work. The act under which
the State took possession had clause,
that the right Of redemption under the
mortgage on the part OF the Troy and
Greenfield corporation, should not expire
until ten year, after the tunnel should
be completed. That the right of rcdemp-
ton exists uude. this act, there can BE- no
question. 1t Remains to be seen whether

And view the far-on sunny skies,
Above the houso-tops tall,
Methinks | hear my brown mato call
From the bough OF the forest trco,
Where sad, she mourns for me-
In the forest dim and cool,
by Il doep and silent pool,
In the waving bough of a cottonwood treo
Lonely and sad-she mourus for mo
My breast hath lost its color bright;
Mine eyes have lost their sparkling light;
Whilc hero | sit and mourn,
OF all my grace and beauty shorn,
And long my weary wings to try
In flight toward tho sky.
In dreams | hear the rustling leaves,
Softly kissed by tho southern brcezo;
In happy dreams once moro on tho winds rid
And gather food for my faithful bride.

FAILURES IN BUSINESS. -- The man
who has never failed in business cannot
possibly know whether he is honest or
not-cannot possibly know whether he
has any grit in him or is worth a button.
1t is the man who fails, and then rises,
who is really great in his way.
Peter Cooper failed in making hats,
failed as cabinet maker, locomo tive
builder and grocer; but as often as he
iaied he Z" tried and tried again." un.
til he could stand upon his feet alone
then crowned his victory by giving 4
million dollars to help the poor boys in
times to come.
Horace Greeley tried three or four lines
Of business before he founded the Ii1-
hume, and made it worth million OF
dollars.
Patrick Henry failed in everything he
undertook, until he nude himself the or
ator OF bis age and nation.
The founder ot the New York Herdtd
kept on failing and sinking money for
ten years, aud then made one of the most
profitable newspapers on the earth.

LuIrUTIANs.-The wife Of Mr.. j. B.
McCrum, OF Kalamazoo, Michigan, on
january 10th, gave birth to a pair OF
twins-a boy and ghl. Tho surprise OF the
parents can be imagined when, on sur
Veying the party, the nurse held up the
tiny pair Of infants in the palm of one
her hands. They were soon after weigh
ed, and the aggregate avoirdupOns of the
twins was three pounds and four ounces.
one Of the pair weighing one pound snd
eight ounces, and the other weighing one
pound and twelve ounces. They were
less than eight inches long, and perfectly
formed. A bed was made for them, which
consisted Of minute basket filed with
cotton batting, and clothing had TO be
improviscd for the strangers, that which
in expectancy had been made up proving
a world to wide for their little limbs.
Some doubt was expressed by the ply
scian who attended tho mother as to
whether they would live, but up to last
accounts they were not only alive, but
/ lively, bright and wide awake, and claim
place in this big sphere as well as their
own big brothers and sisters, Of which
there are several in the family, grown up.
Ladies and gentlemen, old and young,
flock to the house where the children lay.
Pink and blue ribbons have been tied
about the little arms of the babes, so rs
to answer the question Of which is boy
and which is girl. They nurse and seem
to enjoy themselves as well as could be
expected. Wrapped in their little beds,
they look like dolls suddenly vivifed.-

TIE London Lancet publishes the fol-
lowing, to say the least, remarkable sto-
ry: Before the subject and witnesses
Of it pass away, allow me to record, in a
few words, strange story. Iii II,
aged about seyenty-iive years, is now hy-
ing in village near this town. Before
he was born his father made vow that
if his wife should bring him girl, she
having had three in succession, he would
never speak to the child as long as he
lived. And now what is most strange
and remarkable occurred. This boy
would never speak to his father, More
over, during his fathers lifetime, he
would never speak to any one but his
mother and three sisters. As soon as his
father died, he being then thirty
years old, his tongue was unloosed to every
one, and he has remained an ordinary
loquacious individual ever since.--E.

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY III, 1874.

TIE SUN.-An Armstrong gun fires a
bullet at the rate of 100 yards per second.
a bullet fired at that rate and maintain
ing it to the sun, would take - years to
get there and the sound of the explosion
would reach the sun halfa year later.--
In other words, those beings, those men
who worshiped the sun aud raised their
voices in prayer to him, if their voices
could have been heard and there was an
atmosphere, medium OF intercommuni-
cation by which the sound oI their voices
could reach him, 1872 years would have
been needed before their prayers could
have reached their God. Ii there were a
steel rod connecting the earth with the
sun, and the pole OF the earth were brought
into communication with the sun, 800
years would elapse before the strain would
reach the earth. Another consideration,
and this was suggested by Professor Men
denhatl, of your country, and by Holmes
and others-is this: Feeling is convey
ed along the nerves ten times slower than
sound travels. If, therefore, an infant
were born having an arm the somewhat
inconvcnicnt length of 100, 100000 miles,
50 as to reach the sun, and if in the era
die, while in boyhood, he were to stretch
out bis arm and touch the sun, that in
FAINT might grow to the throe-score years
and ten allotted to man, or even to four
score, but he never would be conscious
OF the fact that the tips of his fingers
were burned he should live 1856 years
before that would be experienced. Pro
