AT the present day browbcating the
press Is wholly without honor. glory or
fame, bul Is rich IN u harvest of scorn
contempt, riticule, and often in severe
corpOreal punishment. In st. Louis not
long since mountain OF brainless muscle
rolled itself into the office of the Repu6-
t'cGa and commenced bonibardins the
night editor. The latter gentleman still
lives, but the other fellow has to wear
wooden ley. In the ButIetia office, San
Francisco, fellow failing to get along
IN the world by his brains, tried his hand
ON one OF the proprietors ofthe paper.

homo was, as nobody has been able to
swear to him yet. As soon as be reyiyes,
the police request his friends to take
away what is left OF him; that is, If they
have any use for living remains. In ru-
raj districts editors sometimes fare terri

run the concern, save your jacket and not
get ate up alive; because everybody wants

according to the calibre of their muscle,
you'll catch it next, or il you "even do it

your dirty sheet will be ground to pulp
and used for skid grease in no time.
Somehow, of late this thing is becoming
monotonous. Editors don't show half ma
much white feather as they ought to, to
carry out the programme. There is not
quite so much cheap glory, now days, in
gong about bar rooms, and telling the
the number Of editors one has had for
