JSo. y. Editor

THERE was yesterday ushered into the
y Journalistic vale of tears a hybrid ,publica-
zion, which luxuriates in the rather
lengthy but very comprehensive title OF
TAe Norfk American Lire Stock Journal
The voluminous title, however, has its
advantages apparently, for it may be man
ipulated into sections. each one Of which
viii fairly represent the whole. The
editor. although not prone to make dis
oOveries, has very felicitously hit upon
this idea, and in the course Of 4 single ar
ticle refers to his eccentric publication in
differently as the North AmerioIn, the
journal, the Stock Journal, and in one
particular instance has the hardihood to
