The Paris Editor.
From Blackwood's Magazine.

Paris editors take their professional
duties easily. Many of the most con.
spicuous OF them have always been ac-
tive politicians, probably with seats in
the chamber and with other irons in the
fire. They press their opinions in the
signed contributions which may one day
be the stepping-stones to high Office. As
they object to evening work for many
reasons, it is hard work to get suitable
man to edit morning journal, and ac-
cordingly most Of the papers of the
French capital appear in the afternoon.
His most intimate friends would mis-
trust their senses if they met n London
editor in ballroom after midnight;
while in Paris it is the chief part of an
editors business to show himself every
where in certain society to attend
the receptions of the minist ers or OPP
position leaders. as the case may be,
and to drop in, besides, at the unofficial
reunions where his political friends are
in the habit of rallying. He has prob.
ably liking for society for his own
sake, and it is at once his pleasure and
duty to feel the pulse of ciety for him
self, in place of trusting, like his En-.
glish confrere, to the secondhand re-
ports of intimates who are mixing in
the world ct any rate. Then he need
never have the sense of working at high
pressure. Far more often than not he
writes on the domestic subjects which
are always in his mind; and when he
has occasion to treat some sudden
question Of foreign policy, he does SO
deliberately, after ripe consideration,
The minor contents othis mesgre sheet
demand comparatively little supervision
and that little may be coniided to intel
ligent subordinates.. With the excep-
ton of the Temps, there arc few Paris
ian papers that take any great trouble
about their foreign correspondence; and
the sum total of the mechanical labor
must, of course, be proportionately
small

Nj. Gaillardet writes to the Courier G6S
Flats UaiS Of the recent elopement of
Miss SicRles and also of n Miss S, of
Philadelphia. He says;
The fight of Miss S, of Philadelphia,
took place under very curious circum-
stances. She was at the Opera Comique
with her father, mother and Younger
sister. The two young girls naturally
had seats III the front of the box. Mr.
5 soon discovered that his daughter was
talking i'll low voice to young man,
said to be u Brazilian, who occupied
with gentleman friend the front row
of the next box. The father was shock
ed to see his daughter talking so famil-
iarly with gentleman who had not
been presented to him, and tried to in.
terfere, but his wife prevented him for
fear OF scandal. On leaving the thea
ter their carriage was followed by
another, to which they gave little at
tention. Hardly had they entered the
house when the older daughter went to
her room and soon came out, having
made some change in her dress. Since
then she has not been seen. II is re-
ported i'll the American clubs that the
father tried to console his wife for the
abduction by saying, Fortunately the
robber could not touch our fortune"
II the phrase is correctly reported. it is
typical

81 Acknowledge the Corn"

This is the origin Of the phrase. Il

drew Stewart, o member of Congress,
said in speech that Ohio, Kentucky,
and Indiana sent their haystacks, corn
fields, and fodder to New York and
Philadelphia for sale Wicklile. Of
Kentucky, called him TO order, decar-
ing that those states did not send hay
stacks or cornfelds to New York for
sale. "Well, what do you send 2" asked
Steward. "Why, horses, mules cattle,
and hogs" How much corn does il
take at SO cents a bushel, to iatten a
hog "Why, thirty bushels" "fhen
you put that thirty bushels in the shape
of hog, and make it waddle off TO the
Eastern market" Then Mr. Wicklitie
jumped up and said "Mr. speaker,

An Idiot Boy with a Memory.

The Pennsylvania state training
school for feeble-minded children at
Media, has just been visited by cor
respondent Of the Springfield Republican,
He found over three hundred young
idiots under treatment calculated to
make them stronger in mind and body.
There are schooi-rooms holding from
twenty TO thirty pupils each. In the
more advanced classes, writing,
arithmetic, and geography are taught.
In kindergarten, the visitor saw small
children modelling i'll clay, building
block houses, and weaving paper into
improvement were related. The great
wonder of the establishment, however,
is thus described: "The trite saying that
blood will out is exemphtied in the
idiot savant, who is never found among
the lower orders. A curions case of this
kind is reckoned among the pupils Of
this School. So remarkable are his
powers of memory that after listening
to sermon or other discourse he is
able to repeat 1t, verbatim, preserving
also, the intonation of the speaker. AS
a test of this singular faculty the lad
was once taken to Media to attend
lecture upon some scientific matter,
and the next day was asked to repeat it.
To the establishment of all he readily
repeated the entire lecture, rendering
Latin phrases and technicalities as
glibly rs the vernacular; yet in his
mentality the reflective power WAS dull
and feeble, and he was unable to con-
vert into practical sense the knowledge
