THE retirement of David N.
Stone from the editorial chair of the
New York Journal Of Commerce,
which we reported to take place
yesterday, will be a distinct loss
to the journalism of this counr
try and will be especially felt
in the South, to which section
Mr.. Stone has always been q
consistent friend. He is the Nestor
of the New York press, the Glad
stone Of American reWspaperdom,
aud his plsce cannot be filled.
A BIG bull frog has taken up his
abode in the sewer at the corner of
Walnut and West Centre streets,
and almost nightly he makes the
centre of the city to resound with
a hearty rendition ofthe old fa>
niliar song that is peculiar to the
bullrfrog. A bevy of small boys
daily devote hours to the patient
pastime Of tying to ''hook" his
trogship, but up to this writing he
has let all their bates "severely
alone"

JUDGES frequently excuse prom
lnent men from jury duty because
they say that their private interests
would snffer if they YER put on
LURES. These should be made to
serve. Jury duty is not well
come to active and prosperous
men, but it is a duty all the
same and they should not be per-
mitted to evade it by any selfish
plea, All the talk about juries is
not worth a snap unless those
righteous folks who indulge it will
practice what they preach. Let us
get down to business and put cur
best men on j@uries.
