Editorial Chances.

Speaking of journalism M is led to
refer briefly to the chances offered in
this city. Every college Commence
ment brings a nest of graduates to this
city with the expectation of obtaining a
position on some journal. Alas! to
think of the disappointment which SO
inevitably follows. There are those,
however, who obtain an opportunity to
.'work on space" as it is termed. This
simply means that they may contribute
interesting matter and receive their pay
whenever it is published, according to
the space occupied. The rate on the
Tribune is six dollars per column.
Space offerings are generally ''cut
down" by the managing editor to a
degree that yields but little encourage
ment. One of this class informed ME
that he hardly made five dollars per
week during the first year, but it eventu-
ally led to a berth as reporter at twenty
dollars per week. There are few who
can afford to wait so long before getting
a chance to make a living. 1t may be
said as a general conclusion that the
profession offers but little inducement
to beginners, there being a pressure to
obtain even the humblest position.-N.

Reptiles i'm Disguise.

Everybody is fond of birds, but it is
possible that some people might like
them less if they believed them to be
only reptiles in disguise. Now, Sir
John Lubbock, addressing the British
Association in 1881, said: ut seems to
be generally admitted that birds have
come down to us through the Dinosau-
rians Wonder-lizards) and, as Huxley
has shown, the profound break once
supposed to exist between birds and
reptiles has been bridged over by the
discovery of reptilian birds and bird
like reptiles-so that, in fact, birds are
modified reptiles" Popular likes and
dislikes are no d~isproof of relationship.
Birds with teeth and reptiles with
feathers have been cited in evidence,
although, indeed, they are very like
Cuckoo, cuckoo, welcome bird, sell
dom seen, but often heard' of. Birds
and reptiles are alike reproduced from
eggs; their blood corpuscles are equally
oval, and not round, as in mammal ami
mails. Both, apparently, swallow their
food without tasting it. Possibly the
stomach may be, with them, the seat of
taste, as it often is with us when we
have taken physic or eaten stale fish. or
too much sage and onion stuffing with
duck. Both are musical. Serpents are
fond of melody, though they cannot
make it. Batrachians as well as bipeds
have their grand united choral societies.
American bullfrog concerts are cele-
brated as well as numerously attended.
The song of thrushes and the wailing
of nightingales may, therefore, be only
developments of the green European
sree-frog's resonant croak, effected, as
with birds, by inflated expansions of
the throat, very curious to witness.
Froggy looks as proud as his predeces-
sor in the fable, and one wonders that
he does not, like him, burst. Feathers
may be only a modification of scales.
The s~o-called feathers of butterflies are
really scales, whence their name Lepi-
approximation Society.

life! No longer, when she looked from
her window, did she see desolate,
bleak, sage-grown plains, belted by
snow-crowned mountains. A most
lovely tiower-garden, framed in by
meadow-lands, yellow with golden rod,
through which ran a clear little brook,
and bounded by blue wooded hills in
the distance, met her delighted eye.
How very happy she was!
Almost a year had she been William
Storey's wife; almost a year since the
quiet little wedding at Bozeman had
taken place, and she had left the great
Territory-the wild ssnew far-West"-
forever. She was in Laurel now, in
her old home, bought for her by he1
husband shortly after their arrival East.
She had been welcomed cordially by
William Storey's people and has spen,
many pleasant weeks with them in the
quaint gray-stone homestead on the
Hudson.
But in Laurel she was the happiest.
She did not care to leave it wen for q
day. For hours she would lie in the
hammock simply gazing up at the
naples and elms above her, so thankful
to see trees once more.
William Storey was inexpressiblJ
touched by her childish joy over things
that he had hardly given a thought t.
during his entire lifetime. Through
her he learned to notice much that wa
beautiful which had hitherto been un
needed.

Now and then-altogether too frequent ly-a news item announces that some in- d1vidual or family has been poisoned by eating canned meat or vegetables. At the same time complaints appear in the for eign press that the quality of American canned food products is deteriorating, and and charges are made that refuse, stale and unwholesome articles are employed by the canneries. Now, as it is not desir- able that American citizens should be poi soned, nor that American trade should be injured, manufacturers and exchanges would do well to look into the matter, as- certain where the trouble lies, and remedy it.
 The canned goods industry has assum- ed enormous proportions. Almost all kinds of meat, fish, fowl, fruit, vegetables, soups, buildings, etc., are presented to the housekeeper in this form, and tens of thou sands of persons and many millions of dol lars are employed in the business of pack ing them. But the whole enterprise is based upon public confidence in the puri- ty and wholesomeness of the articles thus prepared. It will not take many more cases of poisoning to destroy that confi- dence. Let manufacturers be wise in time, and see to it that there be no more death in the can.-N. r. Tribune.

TIE campaign is now open ln Massa- chusetts, and the prevailing opinion seems t1 be that Massachusetts is about to give Gen. Butler such a rebuke for his effort to tradncs her good name as shall forever retire him from politics. It looks that way certainly. Last year the entire re- publican state ticket below governor was c. csed by round majority. Enough re publicans, for a ''frolic, voted for Butler to elect him. They won't repeat their lit tie fun. The weak point in the republican ticket is Lieut. Governor Ames, who was accused last year of putting in better work for Butler and Ames than for Bishop and Ames, and who is accused of having sev- eral 'sstrong points of weakness. The probability is that Ames will get third as many democrat votes as he loses of repub- liean votes, and will pull through with his ticket

The governor of New York has pardoned Frank M. Baker, sentenced by the Cayuga court in 1877 for the term of fifteen years, on three convictions for the crime of biga- my, and has filed reasons which conclude thus: "I have determined to grand par don in this case because am convinced that in any event the punishment already suffered by the convict has fully vindicated the law and answered the ends of justice. 7
 The constitution which gave Governor Cleaveland the right to pardon never con- templated such ground of pardon. The judge who sentenced Baker knew better than the governor can now learn why he made the sentence fifteen years. In this act Gov. Cleaveland over-rr1les the judge and also the law making power under which he acted. His was certainly the right to pardon if circumstances called for clemency, but not to arraign the judiciary power that consigned the man to prison, as he does by the reason given. Other wise judges should hereafter sentence criminals to remain in prison until the governor in his good pleasure shall order l their release.

The evidence in the Rose Amber in- quest begins to be damaging for William Lewis, the woman's betrothed. Dr. White testified yesterday that the blood on Lew is's lap-robe and carriage was not six weeks old, and might be either that of human being or dog. A number of witnesses contradicted Lewis's story that the road was dusty the morning after the murder by swearing that it rained heavily the night before between 10 and Il o'clock, and made the roads muddy. Two witness es also swore that there were carriage tracks on the morning after the murder passing the spot where the body was found and turning into Lewis's stable-yard: Lewiss carriage was covered one, and the officers rely on this as an explanation of the fact that RoseAmbler's clothes were found dry while the ground around her was drenched. Mrs. B. Osborn testified that Lewis had told her he was up all day and part of the night on the day that the murder was committed. Lewis has claim ed that he retired at his usual hour that night.
