SEVERAL Western exchanges which boast of
their enterprise contain a quarter Of column of
specials about a fst-fght between two New
York dudes The only feature Of the affair
which makes it differ from ordinary fights seems
to be the fact that the dudes are four feet eight
and four feet nine inches in height, respectively
This makes the story both interesting and inn
portant, of course; but there are probably other
matters of moment in which large circles Of
Western readers take even greater interest, and

JOURNALISM is evidently the sphere in which
woman was born to shine. Miss Paul, of Mem
phis went into the daily Scimetar Office three
years ago, at the age of eighteen, and has already
become managing editor, cashier, book-keeper
and business manager of that paper. A man
would be satisfied to go on in his dull Flooding
way and fill only one of these position at time.

a PERVRRsIoN OF FIGURES.

Yet it is shown by the incontestible proofs
of official statistics that the period Of the
greatest growth of the manufactures of the
United States in the thirty years from 1850 to
1880 was the decade from 1850 to 1860. That
however, was period Of Democratic rule and
low tariff, The growth from 1850 to 1860, as
shown by the national census, was 83 per
cent; from 1860 to 1870 it was 63 per cent.
from 1870 to 1880 it was Al per cent. This
would seem to effectually dispose Of Mr.
Blaine's assumption that our national prosper
ity and phenomenal material growth are the
result Of the economical policy of his party
New York Times.
1t seems incredible that any one possessed
of ordinary good sense should become be-
logged by the fact that the per cent. of in
crease Of the taxable value of this country was
greater between 1850 and 1860, during a
period Of practical free trade or tariff for rev.
enue only policy, than between 1860 and
1870, and 1870 and 1880. The per cent. of
increase in the first instance was 126; in the
second, IS; and during the last census decade
46. But the increase in the values Of manu-
features was even more marked, as the fol.
lowing table shows:

Mr.. HENDRICKS in recent interview, tells of
visit he made to Mr. Lincoln in March, 1865,
and that he was deeply impressed by the kind
ness, the charity and philanthropy shown by
the great President on that occasion. No
wonder. Mr.. Hendricks having sinned much
againt the country and the man so soon to lay
down his life for his countryssake, much was to
be forgiven, and Mr. Lincoln was, perhaps, the
one man Of that day or this who, knowing all
the offenses, and their consequence, could rise
above his human nature and forgive the perpe-
TRAITOR. It is divine to forgive but probably Mr..
Lincoln, if he were alive, would not vote for Mr..
