And the Wind is ccasclcss moaning
In mournful monotone.

court was Pandemonium itself, lawyers

men crawling under benches to keep out

The Florida Fraud.

A Democratic member of the House
prominent 10 the investigation of the
alleged Florida and Louisiana Presidential
frauds, says that those who have the
subject in hand could not report, for they
have not yet agreed on the details, but a
resolution will be introduced some day this
week. The Committee on Judiciary will
be entrusted with the Investigation. He
believes it will pass and says every
Democrat and a number of Republicans
will vote for it, that the country shall be
satisfied of the character of the votes
awarded Hayes and Wheeler in Florida
and Louisiana. The committee will not
inquire into the question of the eligibility
of the present incumbents, but leave the
facts elected by the investigation to speak
for themselves.

placed him where he is-that is, all of them

nominated S. B. Packard to be Consul at

one of the most lucrative posts abroad. In
Liverpool Packard will be at q safe distance
from investigating committees and inter

The young men of Portugal have
one occupation more important
than wearing tight boots, and which
almost, in fact, goes with it-that
of making the very mildest form of
love known among men. The
young gentlemen pay their ad-
dresses by simply standing in front
of the house occupied by the object
of their affections, while the young
person in question looks down APP
p%rovingly from an upper window,
and there the matter ends. They
are within speaking distance, and
have to content themselves with
expressive glances and dumb show,
for it would be thought highly I'M
becoming for the young lady to
allow a bullet-doux to hutter down
into the street, while the laws of
grayitation stands in the way of
the upward flight of such a docu-
ment, unweig6ed, at least, with a
stone, and this, of course, might
risk giving the young lady a black
eye or breaking her fathers win
dow-panes. So the lovers there
remain, often for hours, feeling, no
doubt, very happy, but looking un-
utterably foolish. These silent
cOurtships sometimes continue for
very long periods before the lover
can ask the fatal question, or the
lady return the final answer.

The Avalanche of this morning
states the fact we'll known to news
paper men, but not SO we'll by the
public, that all the official patron
age, Federal, State and county or
municipal, that could possibly
come to a Memphis newspaper
would not pay Its current expenses
for six weeks. No paper that depends
on official patronage, or on the sup
port of a party for existence, can
live long. Campaign organs, start
ed with a flourish of trumpets and
a lavish display of head lines, wood
cuts and loaded matter, always fz-
zle out after an election. A party
is the last place on earth to look to
for support or gratitude. The very
men lifted and pushed into Office by
a newspaper. will turn their
backs on it and carry their
patronage elsewhere. Publishing a
daily newspaper upon a legitimate
self-sustaining basis is an expen-
siye business and one which must
be managed upon the strictest bu-
siness principles to permanently
succeed. There is but a narrow
margin for profits at best. In pro-
portion to the capital invested, the
experience, brain-work and energy
bestowed upon the live newspapers
Of the day, fewer members of this
profession than of any other class,
perhaps, become Independent and
able to retire from hard work to-
ward the close Of life.
