PRESIDENT HEwErr CONFIDENT.
President Hewett returned from New York
this afternoon, and was met at the train by
STAR reporter, to whom he talked very freely
about his failure to get Ward. ''well didn't

he has. Last fall Ward said either Boston or
Washington. Now he says he meant Boston. I

in number very rapidly, for they are being sac

Dahlgren was then commandant of the yard,

facts.

out or sitting on the benches, eating the noon

then the Secretary manifested disposition to
go on board the receiving ship Dale. He
wanted to be q real sailor. But he did not visit
the Dale, for he was told there was nothing to
see. With couple of wistful glances at the
ark-like and ancient craft he went on UP toward
the gate, turned to the right of the
engine-house and called on Paymaster w. w.
Allen, the general storekeeper. The store
house was clean as new pin, and after explor-

The word "pamnv Defended.

Mrs. Sarah Austin tells US, in her re-
Gently published Memoirs" that she was
greatly exercised as to whether she was
justified in retaining the word damn in
the recital Of a story of Lord Jeffrey and
Sydney Smith. Lord Lyttleton and others
protested, it would seem, against it, and
Lady Holland suggested the substitution
of the word hang" Now, why? To
damn is to condemn; to be damned :"
is to be condemned, while to hang is to ex-
ecute condemnation, and to be hanged I"
is to die in consequence of condemnation.
What, then, can be the difference whether
Lord jeffrey damned" the north pole or
whether he expressed wish that this
meteorological point should be hanged :?
1t is held that to desire that the north
pole or chair or horse or wife or any,
thing or anyone else should be damned, is
TO swear, whereas to express the desire
that thing or person should be hanged is
not. As a matter of fact, the use of neither
of these expressions involve swearing
They are mere foolish utterances by
which the person using them wishes to
convey the impression that he is displeased
with the person or thing against which
either is leveled. "Damn" may be coarse
and vulgar, for verbal coarseness of vul-
garity is conventional. i am not quite
sure, however, that the expression of a
wish that the north pole may be con-
demnei is not a good deal more reasonable
than that it should be hanged Be this,
however, as it may, / entirely deny that
damnIng Is swearing.-LoRdon Truth.

Among these workers, running in age
from maidens of y to matrons of 30, one
may see some surprising beauties. whose
advent in New York in civilized attire
would turn the heads and capture the
hearts of all the dudes of that beauty
adoring metropolis. Though the Pheni-
clan blood, which Nicaraguans are so
proud to claim, is probably lost in the now
mere clearly defined Spanish and Indian,
yet these mild-eyed, sweet-faeed and grace
full children of Central America have re-
tanned in their character many of the
traits that distinguished their earlier
ancestors, including simple contentment
and passionate enjoyment of nature and
love of home.

THE EDITORS LIFE.
1t is an Existence of Elegant Leisure and
Luxurious Ease.

is the height of my ambition. Ny friends
think | ought to study law or medicine. or
keep on teaching; but to be lawyer or
doctor requires too much study, and too
much brains to start with, and teaching is
too much work. Under these circum-
stances would you not advise me to be-
come an editorw
We certainly would; your ideas of the
life of an editor and of his surroundings
and freedom from care and toll are singu-
larry accurate. An editor is the happiest
being on earth. He has little or nothing
to do and his pay is all that heart could
wish. His sanctum, with its Persian rugs
and Turkey carpets, its costly rosewood
furniture, its magnificent mirrors, its beau
tiful 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 everything that human ingenuity
can devise for its comfort and pleasure, is
perfect little paradise, where he sits or
lounges and reigns young lord-with the
world of fashion and pleasure at his feet.
And then anybody can be an editor-no
study, no brains, no preparation, moth
ing but little money to start with, and
once started the money pours in upon you
in a stream, and the chief effort of your
life is to spend it. AS for the labor of
editing a 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 a glorious life, that
of an editor, 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 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
