1in and Joy In the Tribune Rum Shop.

The Tribune rum shop was throng.
I'd all day long end Tar luto the
evening by merchants, bankers,
brokers', and loafers, all eager tor
news, gossip, and toddy. There was
plenty OF gossip and any quantity OF
loddy. Now and then a long haired
senius from the tall tower would
rush in and announce that Florida
mad gone for Hayes, that South
Carolina was solid for the Republl.
,ans, or that Tilden was defeated by
precisely four votes.
At once there rose so wild a yell
AS charmed the very friends in hell,
While every thirsty shouter took a
drink.

been tor the private door conmunl-

4 Brief Editorial.

The shortest editorial I ever re-
member to have ssen in any Journal,
says the London correspondent OF
the New York World, was written
By an eccentric old editor, named
Laing, In = paper called the Mofus-
silite, at one time we'll known In
India. The celebrated Gorham
case-that endless ecclesiastical row
had bsen going on for months,
filling all the newspapers and
weighing down all the mails. When
the Eenglish journals we're eagerly
opend for news from home, nothing
appeared but column after oolums
about the Gorbam case. 1t was
upon this that Laing wrote the
editorial | have mentioned, and /
have often thought that 1t combined
many OF the greatest merits aG edi-
torial can possession it was short,
could DO understood by everybody,
and it faithfully reflected public opin-
ion. This was all, just as it stood,
headline and all:
The CoRHAM CASE.
Damn the Gorham case,
Everybody was thinking that,snd
when Laing ssidit, there was a
great shout of appreciation.
