Seeing the Responsible Editor.
NeW Orleans Picayune.

That very clever story, "The Tyrantel Ter
of Calyiras, Just now going the rounds, re-
calls an incident which took place in the
New Orleans Picayune Office many years ago,
when George Washington Reeder presided oy-
erthe police columns. Reeiers was very
small, not over four feet six inches in height,
singularly youthful in appearance, and given
to pompous, overwhelming, elaborate po-
liteness, which, in connection with his di-
minutive stature and magnificent costume,
generally reminded one of benevolent but
highly diplomatic tomtis. Apart from his
journalistic pursuits Reeder had quite a
name in the theatrical line, being diet
tante comedian of considerable merit Ey-
erybody liking him, laughed kindly at his
littlepeculiarities, and respected the brave
chiyalrous spirit whi,h they had found to be
among his characteristics.
To see Reeder in the editorial room receiv-
ing an irate party. particularly one of the
rougher species, was privilege to be eter-
nally grateful for. Ills microscopic size, his
gorgeous toilet, his profuse courtesy, and h is
grandiloquent address were simply amusing.
Callers with well-defned injuries, but limi-
tied intellect, went away in the firm convic-
ton that Reeder thought them the purest,
loitiest, and most prosecuted of mortals.
Entering the Picayune office with the rooted
purpose of mangling and bruising the chron-
icler of their complications, they would re-
tire believing that Rceder was too angelic for
this world, and that his references to them
were only made after bitter struggle with
remorseless duty and at the expense Of a
bleeding heart.
He was perfectly ready to fight, however,
whenever the case demanded it, and thereby
hangs tale.

Charles Warren Stodiard, writing Of
"Under Rome" says: Fancy narrow
subterranean walk, varying from two to
seven feet in width, twisting into thou
sand angles, and three hundred and fifty
miles in length. Such were the ancient
catacombs. They have been filed in. wall
cd up, and left to their eternal night, many
of them; some OF the underground trails
have been lost or forgotten these thousand
years, but St. Calixtus is still a marvel, full
of mystery and horrors and romance. No
one ventures into its labyrinths without an
expert guide. and the number and length of
the wax tapers that are necessary to COM
plete a successful exploration is simply al
arming. In the midst Of a meadow we
found pair of steps that led US into the
bowels of the earth. The guide unlocked a
door at the foot Of the stairs, and our party
entered the door was locked after us, the
lights were lit, the guide led us into dark
alley that snelt warm and earthly; one af-
ter another, in silence, we tracked that
guide through avenues that seemed endless,
for the shadows crowded in upon Us op-
pressively and cur tapers burned feebly.
Upstairs and downstairs, to right and left,
we wandered like band Of lost spirits.
We hung on to each others coat tails, and
grew more ard more intimate, as we felt
our hold on life and our dependence on the
remorseless man who was burying us alive
increase. What if our lights went ont or
he was to desert us? What if the earth

could scratch with your thumb-nai ? 1t

The Boston correspondent of the Spring
field Union says Speaking of furniture,
there is new fashion coming in, for fur
hats. The Eastlake ideas are beginning to
be appreciated and some of our dealers are
irving to give them form. Old furniture
men, who have been long accustomed to the
Grecian and Turkish styles, can hardly ex-
press their disgust at the severe plainness Of
the new style. Yet if people demand it,
they will not refuse of course to supply the
demand l hardly know how to describe
the new style. Perhaps it would do to call
it gothic, but that does not convey exactly
the right idea. Everything Is to be made as
severely simple as possible. A chair or a
table, is to be chair or table,
and it would be impossible for a wild
heathen to imagine it to be anything else.
Old Socrates rule, that a thing is beautiful
according as 1t is adapted to the use for
which it is intended, is the Eastlake maxim.
Hence Hogarth's line Of beauty is abandon
ed, and nothing but straight lines and sharp
angles are in vogue. A sideboard or bed
spread looks like piece Of carpenter work,
as it might have come out OF a sash and
blind factory. For large, grand dining
rooms or libraries, 1 can imagine that the
new style would be very effective, but for
cottage it would be quite out of place.
Simple as the work appears. it may be made
as costly as any dealer could wish, and if
the style RACES, 1 suppose the dealers will
find Wy to make it very profitable. For
comfort, nothing could be less desirable than
the stiff, straight-backed chairs and SOFAS
with their hard, solid seats. But then, no
body ever cares for comfort whrn fashion
stands in the way. The now style has an
ancient look about it which might be at
tractive to an antiquarian. When you find
it, you naturally expect to see the master
of the houss in steeple-crowned broad
brimmed hat, slsshed doublst, knee brssehss
and broad bucklsd shoes. Perhaps some Of
our tailors will invent an EastlAke style of
clothing to nstch The new furniture.

Sixty miles To the eastward of Yreka,
lived the brothers John and james c. Fair
child. They owned the only frame house
for miles around, located within twenty
miles of Captain Jacks camp in the lava
beds, and were both personally acquainted
with all the Indians who defed the power OF
the United States government. John Fair
child led company into the big fight Of
January l., 1873, and the whole troops be-
haved in such way as to put the regular
which preceded the massacre of General
Candy, the latter with his staff and the
Peace Commissioner made their headquarters
at Fairchild's ranch. 4 telegram announces
that few days since Uncle Jimmy, while
driving his team on his brothers ranch, met
with an accident, and died few hours sub
sequently. He was with his brother Johns
company on the 18th of January. 1873.
After the capture Of Captain Jack and his
chiefs. Uncle Jimmy, with dozen cavalry
men, left Fairchild's ranch. with seventeen
Modoc captives, including Tehee Jack, Pony,
Little John and Moocha. He was to take
them to the Indian reservation above Lost
River. The cavalrymen rode in advance.
leaving Uncle Jimmy and several Indians
dozen miles behind, in a wagon. Late 10
the afternoon a couple of men, whom Mr..
Fairchild took to be Oregon volunteers, in
tercepted him at a rocky point, and COM
PEELED him to dismount. They then killed
the Indians before the escort came up, and
managed to escape. Nothing was ever
found by the military authorities to fasten
this outrage upon any one. The principal
witness was Uncle Jimmy Fairchild, ano he
has now passed away, and the persons guilty
of the base deed may breathe freer.-Sdn

Stree Europeans. ard especially Ameri
cans. have established their influence in Ja-
pan. that country las made gigantic strides
in the path of educational, a. well as of po-
litical progress. The japanese Government
is carrying out to the full the reform of the
country, at least in the matter of education
The latest official documents on the subject
are furnished by report Of NJ. Watson.
Secretary of the British Legation at Yeddo
In the year 1872. an act was passed, by
which the country was mapped out into
seven educational circuits. Inspectors were
to be appointed to every district, each of
whom was to he entrusted with the super
vision of twenty or thirty schools. All
teachers were TO be certified, and the schools
were to be divided into high, middle and
primary schools This act was promulga
ed barely two years ago, and since that time
799 private schools and $3.50 public
schools have hcea established, at which
33S, ,563 boys and 100 ,6S1 girls attend
Add to this number the 10000 students who
are receiving instruction in the higher
schools, and we have total of 4sO 600
japanese, or in Is of the entire popula-
ton, who have already taken advantage OF
tic system prescribed by the Government.
At Yeddo the educational establishments
now actually in operation are the ''Dai Gak-
ko,' or university; the GO GakkO, or
school for instruction in foreign languages
the ''Shi Ham Gakko,' or normal school for
the instruction of japanese teachers, be
sides a principal female school and several
preparatory schools. The education given
at ali Government schools and colleges i en-
tirely secular, las far Is consistent with
the fundamental tenet- of the Shint1 faith );
and. having due regard Ia the proselyting
zeal of Europeans. it is ordered that no
Christian divine is To- be admitted To the
rank of teacher.

One day an enormous rough, ferocisus

for the editor. Much to his sorrow, Reeder
had to say that the editor was absent
