WASHINGTON AND THE TARIFF

New 1Oih liiDGic.
Mr.. Depaw deserves the gratitude of
the country for having brought before
the people on Washington's birthday the
significant language Of the first act which
received Washington's signature as Pres
ident. Whereas" this memorable act
begins, sit is necessary for the support
Of the government, for the discharge of
the debts of the United States, and the
encouragement and protection OF manu-
factures, that duties be levied of goods,
wares and merchandise imported To
Washington, the patriot, and to the men
who formed the Union whose blessings
we enjoy, it seemed necessary for the
encouragement and protection Of manu-
features" to levy duties on imported pro
duets. Mr.. Depew strikes hard when he
contrasts with this earliest law making
act Of the young republic and its patriot
President the British teachings of tine

place by votes s2cured through fraud and
crime,

THE EDITORS LIFE.
An Existence of Elegant Leisure and
Luxurious Ease.


A young man writes from one of the
rural villages of Tennessee to the Louis
vile COUricr-JOrndI: q have been teach
ing school ever since quit school about a
year ago, but do not like it, 1t IS time l
had chosen a profession, and think would
rather be an editor than any thing else, for
Ike ease and comfort and plenty of money,
and do not like 10 work. To be an editor, to
sit IN an elegant sanctum, with nothing to
do but write when / feel like it, to have
plenty OF money and to go where and when
please, free of cost, and lead the EDITORS
quiet life of ease, without care or trouble of
any sort, is the height of my ambition. My
friends think l ought to study law or
medicine, or keep on teaching: but to be a
lawyer or doctor requires too much study,
and too much brains to start with, and
teaching is too much work. Under these
circumstances, would you not advise me to
become an editorf'
We certainly would; your ideas of the
life of an editor and of his surroundings
and freedom from care and toll are sim
gularly accurate. An editor is the hap
piest being on earth. He has little or
nothing TO do and his pay is ali that heart
could wish. His sanctum, with its Persian
rugs and Turkey carpets, its costly rose
'N~NN llo mirrors,
its beautiful pictures, its complete
library of splendidly bound books.
its buffet stocked with the finest wines.
liquors and cigars which cost but puff or
two, its silver bells TO summon an attendant
whenever a julep or cocktail is wanted, and,
in short, with every thing that human in
genulty can devise for its comfort and
pleasure, is perfect little paradise, where
he sits or lounges and reigns a young lord
with the world of fashion and pleasure at
his feet. And then any body can be an edit
or mo study, no brains, no preparation.
nothing but little money to start with and
once started the money pours in upon YOU
In steady stream and the chief effort of
your life is to spend it. AS for the labor of
editing newspaper, that Is mere moon
shine. A mere glance at the columns of a
newspaper is enough to convince YOU that
it requires no labor to edit it and less brains.
1t is certainly glorious life, that of an edit
or, life of luxurious ease and elegant
leisure-a life for the gods, filled like that
OF the young lover in his first sweet dream
OF requited love, with flutes and rose leaves
and moonbeams.
While not wave OF trouble rolls
Across his peaceful breast;
and that all men are not editors IS one OF
the strangest things beneath the stars.

single giance at winch was sufnclent to
convince me that the modern craze for
aesthetic furnishings had not as vet taken
any hold upon her. The room was as bare

pen might paint.
After i've minutes waiting the door

looking, garnet-colored silk gown limped
painfully toward me. She was of medium
height, with rather thick-set figure. square,
colorless face, eyes small, of blue-gray
color, and mass of red-brown hair. The
extreme plainness of the face and limping
gait made an almost painful impression,
which, however, was soon dissipated by her
pleasant, low-pitched voice and simply in
terested manner. For few moments there
was touch of shyness about her, but this
soon disappeared as she became interested
IN conversation, and she talked very fluent
ly OF travel and scenery and the common
places of the day. She particularly ad-
mired Bar Harbor, and thought the combi-

oughly imbued with the pathos, tenderness
and beauty of nature in her native mount
