Profits of journalism.

The purchase by Mr.. Whitelaw Reid
of the Willard mansion in New York
city for the trifle of $500, 600 will. in all
probability, turn the inclination of a
few young men, hitherto undecided, to
journalistic pursuit The ability to pur-
chase such mansion they will consider
presupposes great financial success, and
if Mr.. Reid and a few others can attain
such wealth they can do the same. In
their rapturous contemplation of these
instances of success they apparently lose
all sight of the thousands who have en-
tered the profession with equally bright
hopes but little or no money, and are
struggling on in comparative obscurity,
making q fair living. perhaps, but not
by any means realizing their hopes on
taking up the pen. These are not men
OF meager ability or attachments. They
have mastered much and have become
a useful part of the office furniture
They perform their several functions
with a genuine spirit of enjoyment, but
like the unlntelligent things that 90 to
equip the Office, they wear out and their
places are supplied by new machines of
intelligence.
In journalism, as in everything else,
1t has come about, particularly in the
older portions of the country, that the
man without money stands little chance
of getting rich while, if he has money,
there are nine chances of his losing it
to one of saving and increasing it. Mr.
Reid is one of the few fortunate journal
lists who made some money out of the
profession. But his opportunities were
exceptional, first in finding so valuable
a property as Mr. Greeley had made the
Tribune, and, second, in being able to
make it his own. Mr.. Reds ability
brought him friends and his marriage
brought him the money, which is to be
considered the main leverage to his
business prosperity.
Young men should not be deluded by
any such instances as this. There is
happiness and perhaps financial oppor-
tunity in journalism for young men
whose hearts are in the work. 1t will
hardly be necessary for them to ask
others for advice about entering the
profession. If they are fitted for the
work they will know it almost by in
stinct, and will set about it with an en-
thusiasm that must bring success of one
sort or another, and, with it, that genu-
inc enjoyment which every man feels
when his powers are best and most
actively employed. = Cincinnati En-
gutTer.

institution of Laws and Forms, -
with compendium of political econ
omy, analytically compiled and ar
ranged by Prof. Charles Mayer, princi-
pal of Mayors Commercial College,
Milwaukee, is now ready for the public.
The work is highly recommended by
the most eminent iurists and lawyers,
by the press of the country, and by the
most prominent business men. The
The book is undoubtedly destined to
have a wide circulation. The opening
chapters are devoted to sketch of the
history of law. beginning with the de-
velopment of the earliest human institu-
tons. The body of law under which
Americans live is shown to have its
springs in the Roman civil law, the
ancient feudal law and the English
common law, the broad principles of
each of which systems are setfoTth con-
cisely but clearly. A chapter is devoted
to the principles of political organiza-
ton and an exposition of the constitu-
ton of the United States. Twenty well
constructed chapters follow, giving an
outline of the civil and criminal laws in
forco in the United States, and explain
ing legal practice. The outline of pol
itlcal economy is based chiefly upon the
works of Mill, Ricardo, Bowen and
other standard writers, but does not
slayishly adhere to any one of them.
The samples of legal documents which
are scattered throughout the book will
be found of great service. la short, the
book brings within the reach of the in
dividual information much of which
is of vital Importance that one should
possess, and some of which one might
find exceedingly difficult to procure
! elsewhere. The book is tastefully gotten

Notwithstanding all that has been
said and written in regard to allowing
COWS to run loose on the streets, some
of our towns-people persist in pasturing
their COWS on farmers wagons. This is
very annoying to the farmers, as they
sometimes have something else besides
hay or straw in their wagons; but of
course the COW does not mind this. In
fact they have decided preference for
some kinds of groceries, and even if the
groceries do not happen to be the right
kind, they find it very little trouble to
knock them out of the way, and as to
wasting anything they are not particu-
lar. The cows do not stop here. When
they can do no better they go into peo-
pies yards, in some cases knock down
the gates to effect an entrance. 1t is to
be hoped that our people will have good
sense and respect enough for others
rights to keep up these nuisances.

Some Of the statements telegraph
ed from this city in connection with
the police scandal alleging demoral.
ization and rottenness in District af-
fairs and universal dissatisfaction
with the commissionership form of
Government, are quite untrue. The
people Of the District feel that the
present Commissioners arc honest
and reliable, and that any errors they
may commit are purely those Of
judgment. The tax.paying people
especially know when they are well
of, aud they have no desire to ex-
change the present government rule
and government banking in District
expenses for the boon Of suffrage.
Speaking Of the Police Scandal,
certain members Of Congress have
expressed their opinion that Con-
grcss will not ask to have the matter
investigated. 1--WE can take no notice
Of it officially" said Representative
Sowden, "for no Congressman has
been individually asperssd or injur.
ed, and whoever demanded an inves-
tigation would be considered as put
ting himself on the defensive and
coniessing his guilt" But now since
50 many police officers have been
punished an,l dismissed it is said they
will appeal for redress to the Presi-
dent, and in case he declines to give
the subject attention, they will ask
Congress to help them.
Congress would not give any more
publicity to the subject but would
dive into it secretly through the Ap
preparation Committee when the
question of appropriatirg money for
the District would come up. The
Congressman who werc to be sub
