Journalism and EgOtism.

One OF the master writer's upon the
st. Louis press has said, the business
of journalism will continue to be an
inviting field for experiment to those
who have large amount of money
and large amount Of egotism. A
man who having edited a newspaper
until he was forty, should suddenly
announce himself a lawyer, would be
regarded as fool by the legal profess
sion and yet we often hear Of law
yers of forty making sudden preten~
tions to journalism. There is an idea
that the business of editing requires
no appreDticeship-that editors come
forth from law offices aud colleges,
fully armed for the profession, like
Pallas from the brow of Jove. It is a
mistake. There is not in America to-
day, . single journalist Of reputation
who has not devoted more time and
more hard work to his profession than,
with equal fitness and application,
would have made him Il great lawyer
or 9 great doctor. And yet ninety
out of every hundred men you meet
on the streets will hesitate sbout car
rying hod or making pair Of shoes,
whereas there will probably be not one
IN the hundred who can't, according
to his own Judgment, edit any news
paper in the country better than it il
edited, no matter in what manner or
BY whom.-Lake Proridcnce Rep.

An exchange says that although
Gen. Spinner has resigned, the many
notes Of his floating around the coun-
try will for long time keep his men,
Dry green in the minds of the people.
There are few notable exceptions to
this, as q rule. A rugged and horny
handed honesty, we fear, will allow
the Generals memory to fade from
onr minds. We are never in possess
sion Of one Of his notes long enough
to see whether it is signed by Spinner
or Tom Walker ere. with smiling &C.
lerity and cheerful honesty, we resign
it into the hands of some cormorant
of q creditor. -Morehouse Clarion.

The following account has been re-
oeived of recent troubles in Bolivia ,
On the twelfth of March last. Presi :
dent Frias left Lapaz for Ururo, TAX
ing with him one-half Of battalion
No: Of the line, the other half re-
naming in Viacha. The rebel citizens
OF Lapaz, when once they thought the
PRESIDENT far enough away, broke out
IN revolution, on the twentieth. The
council of ministery and a small force
Of young men Of good families shut
themselves up in the government
palace, determined to resist the armed
attack Of the people. A terrible aud
nnylelding struggle took place. The
people on their part tried to set fire
to tho palace. The women even took
part, and threw burning sheets dipped
In Kerosene on the roofs. While this
was going on a messenger set off for
Viacha and informed the commander
OF tue half battalion that was there of
what Was taking place in Lapaz. Senior
Juan Gaonier, the chief in question,
at once put his force in motion and
pressed his men over the six leagues
at quick march, and arrived at Lapaz
just as the young men who defended
the government we're about to give
~. He at once made a charge against
the rebel crowd and defeated it, with
the loss Of fty-eight killed and a
greater number wounded. The re-
suit Of this timely aid was to save the
valiant defenders, with the minister's
and the employees in the building.
President Frias was marching on
Coche:nha, where an attack would
soon be made ON the reyolutionists.

We are glad to see that the Legis-
lature passed several measures of re-
form at its last session, among them
all act prohibiting the destruction of
game at certain seasons Of the year,
which, We think, is Of no less impor-
lance than the others. This is law
that this State has long stood in need
of, for the way in which sporting is
now carried on in the South, and es-
pecially in Louisiana, is calculated
to destroy the game entirely. We
understand that the bill was intro
duced by Henry Demas of st John
the Baptist, for which he deserves
credit. Rep. Pioneer.

THE NEW YORK TRIBUNE,
The Leading American Newspaper"

In the recent elections the people have
declared in favor Of honesty in politics and
independence in journalism. The Tribune,
which years ago declared that it was not and
never more would be party organ, claims
tho verdict, as the popular vindication of its
course, and recognizes in the result the
voice of the people for reform and integrity
in government, for candor and independence
among newspape-- During the campaign
which has just closoc ..e Tribune has fully
maintained it's right to the title of the
position it has earned and retained for the
following, among other reasons:
1t publishes all the news, earlier, more
fully, and more intelligently than any other
paper.
: It insists on peace throughout the whole
country, the right Of local selfgovernmcnt,
and the protection of all classes in the ex-
ercise of their just and legal rights.
1t advocates confidence ana good feeling
between North and South, and labors for an
honest and abiding reconciliation.
1t maintains fairness and candor toward
all public men and questions, and dignity
and courtesy toward associates and rivals.
1t publishes scientific news, reports, dis
cussions and discoveries to u degree Of full
ness and accuracy never before attained by
any paper.
It gives every week ten or more columns
of the most carefully prepared agricultural
matter during the year, much more in the
aggregate than the entire contents OF any
other agricultural publication, and the
whole forming department OF which an
eminent agricultural editor said: SIT has
done more to make good farmers than any
other influence which ever existed"
1t has published a series of scientific and
literary extras which have met wider sale
and more emphatic popular approval than
any similar publication of the kind.
