COMMENTS.

How she felt,' is the title of a new
novel. Quite probably 1t is intended as
seqael to Now she feels it,
JOB might have had few boils and
lost considerable of his property, but
we'll bet fifteen cents he could not run
country newspaper for six months and
keep the reputation he now enjoys.
One Cleveland paper claims to have
graduated fourteen distinguished men.
Possibly that is what is the matter with
our exchanges from that oity-they ap-
pear to have let all of their smart men
go.
The "Courier-Journal" suggests to
the friends OF humanity everywhere,
that If we are ever to have a National
Association for the Suppression of News
paper Poetry the cornerstone ought to
be laid at once.
A paper printed in lower Michigan
enjoys the reputation of having the on
ly female local editor in the State. From
the quality of it's local matter we are
led to remark that the State has at least
one to many of these female local edi-
tors.
Sue B. Anthony is going to sue all the
papers that have abused or ridiculed
her. Susy will bear in mind that this
journal has always claimed that she
could run faster, jump higher, yell
louder, ,and keel sOmersault better than
any other person in the world. Further,
we claim her to be All estimable Young
lady whose only fault, or rather misfor-
| tune, is her ravishing beauty, which
has, without her knowledge or consent,
ensnared so many of us.
The February numuer OF The Repub-
Tic, now before us, treats npon variety

record. 1t also presents as its leading
article the opinions of the local press Of

The New York Post in an editorial
upon Newspaper Manners" copdemns
the practice that some editors of the baser
sort indulge in, when criticising their
brethren of the press, in calling them by
name, instead of speaking of the paper
they represent. The Post says that such
practice lowers the dignity and inde-
pendance of the press and diverts it from
its true function, which is the discussion
of public questions, into the vulgarism of
mere personal invectiye and retort. The
Post thinks that for the editor of one
journal to call the name of the editor of
| another journal seems about as ill-man-
nered as it would be to shout out the
name of an acquaintance at crowded
kettle drum or charity ball.
Harper's Magazine for March contains

cravings. In the opening article, Chas.
Nordhoff describes the multi farious du-
ties of the Lighthouse Board in the con-
struction and provisioning of light

Bayard' has become a proverh, but how
many readers neatly know anything
about him? Those desiring such knowl-
edge viii be gratified by James Grant
Wilson's Interesting memoirs-witll
