THE TRUE AND BASE JOURNAL.

The New York Herald, commenting
upon Mr.. Watterson's article upon the
Chicago press, says: "The tendency 10
improve is seen every day in the press,
and we are coming nearer and nearer TO
Mr.. watterson's ideal. Already in most
Of our large cities there is a respectable
high-toned press, accepted by the pub
lie as representing the profession. and
largely free from the Ishmaelism 10
which Mr.. watterson refers. In some
cities there has grown up a fungus para
site press, living ON defamation and
blackmAil. The existence Of this evil
only brings into contrast the better
features Of the true newspaper. So

THE AMERICAN PRESS.


The Cleveland Herald Interviews Oh,
famous war correspondent Forbes IN
that city:
Mr.. Forbes, upon being asked 10 state
his views regarding the difference be
tween English and American news.
papers, and the journalistic profession,
replied in the following manner "Ths
members Of the journalistic profession in
America are, as class, very intelligent
and energetic, and the fruits Of that yea
become manifest in their work. They
are men who are keeping abreast Of the
times and the customs. European
journalists, as q general thing, are more
systematic and methodical, il may be
allowed 10 use that expression, and
think lose that sparkling freshness 50
characteristic Of American gentlemen Of
the same profession. / do not wish 10
he understood to say that there are not
energetic and jealous European journal
lists, but take them rs class and say
that they do not get up as readable a
paper as their brothers in America.
"In regard to the paperz Of the two
continents" continued Mr.. forbes, "I
must say that 1 was very much surprised
in this, my first visit TO the United
States, 10 see the amount Of reading
matter that is contained in your repre-
sentative journals. / picked up Chi
cago paper few days since, and it was
q regular pamphlet. I found news in it
from all parts Of the world, and the local
matter-I mean by that, news from diff
ferent States, besides that Immediately
in the locality where the paper was pub
lished-astonished me by its variety
and copiousness. Articles and editori-
ais on the leading subjects Of the day,
and, in fact, most everything that man
could wish, seemed TO be found in that
paper, and the New York papers I find
TO be Of the same type, though differing
somewhat in style, and will observe
here that a person in travelling from the
East westward can readily distinguish a
change in the style Of paper. News
papers in America seem TO be a growth
Of the soil. In the East, where the
ground has been more cultivated, there
is perhaps more compaetness and better
style, but 1 like the free, spontaneous
manner in which the Western journals
are conducted. like the little items Of
a gossipy nature that are so characters
tic of American journals. English jour
nails are too slow. There is one phase
OF American journalism that consider
very reprehensible. and that is. its indi-
vidual personalities Of an unpleasant
nature often indulged in"

THE MISERY OF THE oxARs LIFI

THE MISERY OF THE CzAR's LIFE.
The London Daily Ne,0s says the
Gar. as far as pleasure goes, might a.
well be in a splendid private lunatic
asylum. Keepers surround him ON every
side, all his visitors are searched, and he
knows not even whether he can trust his
keepers. The Cars position is scarcely
more enviable than. and in many re-
spects greatly resembles, that of the
famous man in the "Iron Mask" No
greater precautions were taken TO pre-
vent that enigmatic captive from hold
ing intercourse with the outer world.
So difficult and obscure has the position
become that desperate men might even
revive famous incident in Russian his
tory. They might murder or secure the
person Of the Gar, and substitute for
him another Emperor, who should be
kept in the same inviolable seclusion.
II the Emperor Of Russia can be said 10
reign, it is as the Lama Of Thibet reigns
"a religious power, mysterious and
withdrawn, His every movement is be-
set with danger, and his short journeys
have the perils Of folorn hope. The
Gar is said 10 be a man Of great per-
soaal courage; and there seems little
doubt that he win determine in the long
run 10 face the worst, rather than 10
exist in living death, TO pass life like
that Of rabbit which the ferret threat
ems in It's hole. He has the wretched
choice Of living on in imprisoned seclu-
sion. or Of boldly facing his enemies and
leading his own life as Il they did not
exist; or, lastly, breaking with all tho
traditions Of autocracy. attempting large
reforms, and taking a "leap in the
dark, which cannot be more terrible
than W. present state Of Russia.

OK the 2Sth Secretary Teller rem
dered the following decision in the
case recently reported at the general
land Office from Washington Terri
tory, in which one Basil was accused
OF trespassing and cutting timber un-
lawfully on the public lands: The
accused, although squatter, is right
fully on the land If he intends to
make a home on it and take il under
the settlement laws when the land is
surveyed, and he is allowed to do so.
Whether he is or is not trespasser
does not depend on how many trees
he cuts, but on the bona fde charac-
ter of The settlement If he takes mp
land in good faith he is the owner
thereof to all practical purposes, al
though the title may remain in the
government, which occasionally suff-
ers by the loss OF timber cut on pre-
tended homestead and pre-emption
claims.

Tue saiirosd Time standards.

The new railroad time system goes into
efEec. next Sunday at noon. A good deal
has been said about the new departure,
but since there is some Misrepresentation a
brief outline will not be amiss.
First, what is not to BIO done. 1t has
been proposed TO change the whole time
system 80 that we shall reckon from one
O'Clock TO twenty.iour o'clock, doing away
with A. N. and p. N. This proposition has
nothing to do with the time change which
sto 20 into effect next Sunday; therefore 1t
nsed not now be discussed.
For railroad purposes, and to secure
uniformity oftime in certain grand divis-
ions, the country is divided into four belts,
making as many standards Of time instead
Of eighty as now. Fifteen degrees will
constitutea time belt. The first, or East
e.n belt, will extend beyond Pittsburgh
The central comes next, beginning at the
Josh degree ofIopgitude and reaching to
the 12O!h, whsre 1t comes upon the fourth
or Pacific belt, which reaches to the IA
cifc ocean. At present trains depart from
Pittsburgh on six different standards OF
time. In Wheeling we have Baltimore
and Columbus time for railroad purposes,
and local time for all other purposes I'm
der the new system Wheeling will be in
the Eastern belt. 4
In view OF the intimate connection be,
tw,en the railroads and all kinds OF busi'
mss It is proposed that Throughout the
country local time shall be made to conform
to railroad time, 60 that railroading, tele-
graphing and all business affairs shall move
together. II this system were to be gen
orally adopted we should have to set GU,
Wheeling time pieces about an hour ahead
to start even. The cook would have to
rise at four instead Of i've o'clock
but this Fought not to effect her COM
posure, because she would retire at nine
instead Of ten o'clock il her "young man"
would also consent to conform 10 the new
standard. Places OF amusement would
open an hour earlier, but they would close
on the some schedule; SO that We should be
"as we were"
There is no reason why We should try to
follow solar time in our local Affairs, when
a more general standard would promote
the common convenience. But We are not
Obliged to decide this point at once.

The following facts may perhaps be oil
interest to some OF your readers: A short:
time ago began to reread the strangest OF
books, "Sartor ResaItus." IN so doing l
was particularly struck with what seemed
to be the very copious vocabulary Carlyle
had therein employed. This matter ac'
cordingly resolved to test; and so have act
ualIy counted, or rather made pretty
complete little concordance OF. all a and .
words occurring in the above work.
The enumeration shows that the
A words number 459, and the BIS
400. together SSS. This includes all
words which have considered really dis
t'nct, and not mere Infections Of any given
stem. Now, in Webster's large Dictionary
the A and B words together occupy us
pages out OF ], 53S, and In Schmidts Shake
spere Lexicon" 1863 pages put Of ], 400, !. e,
in either case about ll,Gper cent OF the
whole. lin the "Milton Concord" however,

ton, then "Sartor Rssartus" must contain
no less than $500 dittinct words; truly ar

when we consider that Shakespeare only
uses about $4,000 words altogether and
NfiIton but 5000. Nor, as many would
think, is the total swelled by an apprecia.
bic proportion Of Carlyle's own coinages.
So far as have been able to ascertain, the
following unimportant A and B words
chiefly very simply formed compounds, are
Ithe only one which Carlyle first introduced
in literary Euglish in "Sartor ResartuR;''
aftershine antipsdagogic, snywhen, ape
like, apoplectic lin its fgurative sense, as
sessorship, auscultatorahip, autobiography
cal, bestrapped, and brotherkin. The only
one OF these calling for remark is the
word anylrhn, which is common
enough in Sussex and other paris oil South
ern England, but which Carlyle certainly
never heard in his native North. The mum
Der Of verbs and participles formed with
the prefix be. (e. o., besoiled, belied, be

Compounds formed with all are likewise
very numerous, but these l have NOT
reckoned as separate words. What the
gross total OF the Chelsea sage's prodigious
vocabulary must be it would, indeed, be
curious to know.
