PHILADELPHIA, February 26.-De-
tectives have arrested Francis II. Car
ter alias Big Frank, prominent among
the bank burglars who escaped from
the New Castle Oeieware) Jail.
He was captured in a beer saloon,
corner of Eighteenth and Sherwood
streets. He made no resistance and
went quickly to the station~house. He
looks very pale, and breads going back,
saying he is afraid of mob-law Az to
the escape he had little to say. He
characterizes the story about woman
being in the ease as piece Of nonsense,
but admits that women called to see
them in prison. and brought them
whiskev. He says 1T was rather im>
prudent for him to come to Philadelphia,
but he thought it would be the last
place officers would look for him. He
strongly censures his friends for not

GUNS TO Be RESTORED 1T is kno,


GUNS TO Be RESTORED 1T is known
that during the raid of General Hunter
into Virginia the battery of guns be-
longing to the Virginia Military Insti
tute were captured and sent away.
For sometime efforts have been brought
to bear on the government, mainly by
General L. T. Munford of this city, to
have them restored to- the Institute.
We are glad to state that these exer-
tons have at last been crowned with
success and that the restitution has
been ordered.
We have before us letter from
General Belknap, Secretary of war, to
General Munford, in which he says:
II have the honor to inform you that
orders have been given for the restor-
alton of the gnns, as requested.
This act of courtesy will be appre-
ciated by the people of Virginia, and
especially by the friends and alumni Of
that institution, scattered all over the
State Ly,achburg ,V1rginia,s.

JOURNALISM AS A BUSINESS In COM
mentipg upon the failure of newspa-
per manager, the St. Louis Globe tells
plain truth in the following words
"The business of journalism will con-
tinue to be an inviting field for expert
ments TO those who have large
amount OF money and large amount
Of egotism. A man who. having edited
q newspaper until he was forty, should
suddenly announce himself q lawyer,
would be regarded as fool by the
legal profession; and yet We often hen,
of lawyers Of forty making sudden pre-.
tensions to journalism. There is al
idea that the business of editing re-
quires no apprenticeship; that editors
come forth from law Offices and col
leges fully armed for the profession,
like Pallas from the brow of Jove. 1t
ia mistake: there is not in America,
to-day, single journalist of national
reputation who has not devoted more
time and more hard work to his pro-
fession than, with equal fitness and
application, would have made him q
great lawyer or good doctor. Aud
yet ninety out Of every hundred men
you meet on the street will hesitate
about carrying hod or making pair
OF shoes, whereas there will probably
not be one in the hundred who can't,
according to his own Judgment, edit
any newspaper in the country better
than it is edited, no matter in what
manner or by whom"
