JOURNALISM AS BUSINESS. commen-
ting upon the failure of newspaper manager,
the St. Louis Globe tells plain truth i'll the
following words: "rhe business of journalism
will continue to be an inviting field for expert
ments to those who have large amount ofmon-
ey and large amount ofegotism. A man who,
having edited newspaper until he was forty,
should suddenly announce himself a lawyer,
would be regarded rs fool by the legal protes-
sion; and yet we often hear of lawyers OF for
ty making sudden pretensions to journalism
There is an idea that the business OF editing
requires no apprenticeship; thai editors di9 come
forth from law offices and colleges fully armed
for the profession, like Pallas from the brow of
Joye. It is mistake there is not in America
to. day single journal ofnational reputation who
has not devoted more time and more hard work to
his profession than, with equal fitness and ap-
plcation would have made him great lawyer

about carrying hod or making apair of shoes,

hundred who can't, according to his own
Judgment, edit any newspaper in the country

ADVICE TO DEMocRATs.-The interest we
take in the welfare Of the Democracy prompts
us to give them word of advice in this very
trying hour. The hour is critical because it is
an hour of victory-no mere fragment Of vieto-
nv, but deluging, sweeping triumph. The
Democracy have proved that they can bear
defeat with oaken :fortitude; it is success that
tries them most severely. Success in the past
has been fatal to them by provoking them into
excesses which foreited the popular confidence
and brought on defeat. Mr.. Benton used to re-
strain the savage and dangerous ardor of his
party in the midst of their triumphs by warn
ing them in his slow measured way, that "mod-
Grafton is the ornament of victory" The Dem
ocracy will do well to remind themselves of the
Bentonian maxim. The supreme duty of the
victorious party in the crisis is to keep level
head. The contest fought on Tuesday was
very important, but it was skirmish. 1t was
the prelude to the real battle for national pow
or in 1876. Victory in that battle seems at
this moment to be within the easy reach of the
Democracy. Nothing but an exhibition oi
that inexplicable and nexcusable folly which
the party have o habit of manifesting at the
most inopportune times can forfeit it. What
they need is patience, sclfcontrol and wear
ing of their honors with becoming mcckncss.-

History has been ransacked for the times
when Massachusetts, went democratic The
memory of living men was not equal to to, the
task. 1t seems that the state voted for Ihom-

Marcus Morton WAS elected governor py q HIN

owed his election to liquor issue. There is
another gap error until we come to Gastons $

wave of IA, unless the coalition of 1850 which
elected Boutwell, governor, and Sumner, sena-
tor, be considered nm exception Jefferson,
Morton and Castor are in truth the only dem
ocrats who have carried the state since the
origin of the government.

LEGENDS oFIHE APPLE-The apple, which,
as we know, is the first fruit mentioned in the
Bible, has been the occasion of various legends
and superstitions. In Arabia it is believed to
charm away disease, and produce health and
prosperity. In some countries the custom re-:
mains of placing a rosy apple in the hands OF
the dead that they may find it when they en-.
ter Paradise. The Greeks use it. as symbol
of wealth and large possessions thus atteSting
their esteem for the fullness and richness Of
its qualities. In northern mythology the apple
is said to produce rejuvenating power. Ger
many, France, and Switzerland have numerous
legends regarding this fruit. In some it is
celebrated as the harbinger of good fortune eau
sing ones most earnest desires to be fulfilled !;
in others its beautiful properties are shown
forth as bringing death and destruction 9th
ers again speak of it as an oracle in love affairs
this is especially the case with the Germans,
not only in their numerous tales, but in some
surviving customs. In England, as we'll as in
our own country, is known among schools girls
the popular use of the apple seeds in divinlng
ones sweetheart The peeling is also used as
test in this delicate matter

Unthinkable Mechanics.

By means of a tiny diamond point at
the end of machine, composed of ex-
quisitely graduated systems of lessening
wheels, Mr.. William Web, of London,
is able to write upon glass the whole of
the Lords prayer within the space of a
two-hundred- and ninety of an
inch in length and one four-hundred-
ahd-fertieth part of an inch in breadth
the measurement of the dot over an
"i" in print !. He could write the
whole 1866, $50 letters of the Old and
New Testament eight times over in the
space of one square inch of glass and,
when this wonderful microscopic writ
ing is enlarged by photography, every
letter and point are perfect and can be
read Amazing as this is, however, a
wealthy banker at London, named
Peters, invented machine in 1856 that
could write three times as finely as Mr.
Webb's.

Courtesy.

Nowhere is well-bred courtesy, or
the lack of it, more observable than in
travelling. On the steamboat and In the
cars, the quiet observer readily detects
those who have been educated under re-
fined influences, or those, who, without
special cultivation, are possessed of
native pOliteness. 1t is not education
alone, nor high social position, nor
costly trappings, that make one pleas
ant travelling companion. There must
exist kindness of feeling toward stran-
gers, "a general recognition of equalrights
in the comforts and conveniences pro-
vided for the public, and quickened
discernment for the needs of others.
The gentleman who spreads out his lug
gage on a couple of seats In the cars,
and persistently reads his newspaper,
determinately unconscious that others
who have paid as much as he has are
looking in vain for seat, is as truly i'll
bred as the country girl who noiselessly
eats her pint of peanuts, scattering the
shells on seats and floor, regardless of
the annoyance size gives her neighbors.
In this democratic country we travel in
public conveyances too much as though
they were our own private carriages.
How often the eleventh and twelfth pas
sengers in a city omnibus, who know
that they have full claim to seat, are
disconnected by the outspread gar
ments, the immovable attitudes and
black faces of those who happen to
have entered the stage before them.
Common civility demands that move
ment be made to give room until the
complement is filled out afterward,
courtesy and generosity will often
prompt to attentions which justice may
not require. 1t is surprising how much
the comfort and pleasure of any journey,
whether long or short is enhanced by
those little nameless courtesies which
are offered instinctively and unofficially
to strangers, by refined, wel-bred travel
ers, and persons in whom native tact
and delicacy almost make up for the
lack of the educating and refining infu-
ences OF good society.

A Goat Story.

George w. Peck, of the La Cross
Sun, is responsible for the following
good one
There is a pretty good story being re-
tailed up and down the Mississippi
river at the expense of a well known
and popular steamboat clerk, whose
name the Sun will not mention, though
it is no breach of confidence to say that
the clerk is not wholly unconnected
with the Belle of La Crosse. A year or
so ago the clerk, who had previously
been well regulated bachelor, married
one of the fairest daughters of the Mis-
sissippi valley. Time, which makes all
things even, at length completed the
hapr ress of the couple by sending
down .rom the angel pasture, lovely
little daughter. 1t was the sweetest
piece of furniture that ever was put in
house, anyway, and throve remark
ably well, until the severe illness of the
mother made it necessary to use another
kind of milk for the sustenance of the
child, than that which nature had laid
out in the programme. Then it was
that the doctor prescribed "goat, to
furnish milk. The happy father was
intrusted with a commission as purchas-
ing agent. He was Granger, and op-
posed to the odious middle man, SO he
hied himself to the goat market, to in
spect the stock. Several inferior-look-
ing goats were recommended to our
clerk, by the INSCRIPTIONS dealers in
animated tactical nourishment, but they
couldn't fool the clerk. He knew an
able goat when he saw one, and they
couldn't palm off on him anything but a
good looking goat, one that would re-
fleet credit on the neighborhood. So he
picked out the largest and finest speci-
men in the market, paid him ten dol
lars, and with rope on the horns of
the milk producer, he started home.
Those who saw the clerk leading that
goat through the busy streets of st.
Louis will never forget the scene. Ar
irving home, the goat was tied in the
back yard, and proceeded to eat por-
ton of an iron picket fence, while the
servant girl was instructed to 60 out
and milk the gort. In about seven min
utes-some say it was not more than
two minutes, but that is neither here
nor there-the girl returned, her hair
disheveled, and with her hand on her
heart. The girl spoke thus
Arrah and is it yerself Mister Pohat-
cher that wud be thrifiingwid the finder
falings of a poor orphan gurrul Z? the
murdherin goat is Billy goat, and he
mare kicked the life out Of me wild his
head, and ali the time he was blatting
'm-m-m-a' and he shmells like mayer
funeral. Go off wild yer goat Misther
Pohatcher."
And now, all along the raging Mis-
sissippi pc pie go into the office of the
good steamer Belle of La Crosse, and
ask the clerk if he wants to buy a go it.
