No FRIENDS IN JoURNALIsM-
''What " asks The London Spectator, SIS
the liability Of an editor to his personal
friends?" Strictly speaking, he should
have none; should attack his own father
If he disapproves his speeches, or lash
his wife's last book if he thinks it run
bish This is, no doubt, abstractly true
TO steal an epigram from an Australian
who once wrote pamphlet on the sub
iectl, that an editor should live in a cell
lar; but in practice men viii not comply
with either condition, and all such de-
mands would drive all the men with
hearts and tempers out of the profession.
II is, nevertheless, exclusively dificult
TO find rule that shall be morally sufli-
eient; for silence, though it will meet
the case of Il book, unless of the FIRST i'm
portance, will not meet that of grave
political action. We suspect that, in
this case, the practice of Parliament Is
still the best guide, and that the journal
ist is bound, as the statesman would be
bound, to do his duty and take the con-
sequences. lie might be little more
gentle in his language, little more
apologize in his tone, but the attack
must rot be deprived of its efficiency
for any personal consideration whatso-
ever.

A man in Detroit had about as live.
ly time the other day as can we'll be
imagined. Striking across lots to visit
neighbor, he had reached the mid
die of the field when he remembered
that it contained specially uncivil
bull, and recsived tangible proof there
of in the shape of the bull himself
charging towards him at terrible
rate. No tree was in reach, and the
fence was rods away. So in default Of
better refuge, the man crept into a
hollow log that lay in his path. The
bull saw the man, saw the log, and to
it transferred its attentions. The log
was large but old and tender; and ev-
cry time the bull hauled back and
jumped for it, he covered himself with
glory and clouds of bark and wood.
Sometimes he whirled one end aud
then he gave the center heave, and
then knocked q foot off the other end
When the man was nearly convinced
of the approaching end Of his exist
ence, the neighbors reached the scere
and he was saved.

house on Munjoy, Maine, over which
passes telegraph wire, dreamed that
he was on board ship, and that some

got up, went up on the roof of the
house, and commenced pulling on the
wire. Finding he could not manage
it alone he called to shipmate who
was sleeping with him. His cries
awoke the man and he went up and
discovered the other in his perilous
position. Taking hold of his leg to
prevent his falling, the somnambulist
was awakened, when, looking up and
and seeing the stars, he thought sure
he was on shipboard and again COM
menced hauling on the wire. He was
finally got down from his dangerous
position without harm.

self some hours before his execution. and

his sentence been summarily carried out.

he kept it until o'clock, expecting a
reprieve up to that time then went to
his cell, swallowed the poison, and lay
down to what he supposed would prove
eternal oblivion. He slept by its agency
until he was aroused and ordered to pre-
pare for the gallows. The time for the
execution had been fixed at IL o'clock !;
he was hanged at 9:15 a. m. It would
seem that the attaches of the Tombs had
known of his intent to commit suicide.
and had winked at it. The Sheriff, how
ever, had no suspicion of the thing, and
did not learn of it until $50. Then he
ordered his deputies to make all pos
sible haste, lest the scaffold might be
cheated of its victim and the result was,
that, at 9:20 a. M, Foster was dangling
at the end of the rope.


The murderer could have suffered very
little, if at all, either physically or men
tally. Those who witnessed the scene
say he was completely stupefed by the
drug, and had no conception of what
was passing. It seems pity the unfor-
tunate man should not have been per-
mitted to die in his cell, instead of being
forced upon the gallows to make such a

The following letter is from Thomas
Warren, of Union county, Ark, to J.
NJ. Courtney, of Clay county, Mo-, and
dated but a few days ago:


'' / will tell you now of a horrible
murder that took place not far from
where 1 live. 1t happened about a
month ago. There were four negroes
concerned in it. A married lady went
to neighbor's house to stay a few
days. She was not well when she left
home, and her husband told her that he
would take care of the children until she
came back, but when she, got to where
she was going there was no one at home
but hired men, and she started back.
She had not gone far before negro
stopped her horse, took her off the horse
and hitched it outside of the road, and
told her to take the path before him,
and he drove and pushed and pulled her
eight miles into the bottom and tied her
to tree and ravished her He kept her
there three days and nights tied to the
tree, and the second day while there she
had child in the woods by herself. She
was gone from home three days before
her husband went after her. He went
over to the house where she had started
to go, and when he found she was not
there, started back home, and found
her horse tied where the negro had left
it three days before. He took the horse
home and collected some men together,
and commenced hunting for her, and the
next day they saw two little negroes who
told them that they had seen negro
the day before driving white woman
down the path. They scattered out to
hunt for them, and got so close that the
negro went by where the woman was
tied, killed her with a stick, and then
left her. But they went on after him,
but got off his track.


"The negro stopped at home, and
asked a negro man and boy if there was
anybody hunting for a missing lady !;
they told him yes, and as he got up to
start they caught him and started back
with him, and met one of the men in
pursuit. They made him tell where the
woman was. He said he killed
her Then they made him take them to
where she was. He said they were in
sight of her the day before, when the
woman tainted, and she tainted three or
four times while tied and that she
begged him to turn her loose, and that
he would not. They took the negro to
her husband, and asked him what they
must do with him. He told them to
burn him. The men who had him were
all negroes. They built two log heaps,
and put him in the middle. They were
twentyfour hours burning him; they
cut his toes off and made him swallow
them, and then cut strips of skin off his
body and made him broil them on the
Goals and eat them; and they would roll
him on the Goals and take him out and
talk to him and put him back, and at
last they built large fire, put him on
the top of it and let him burn to ashes,
and that was the last of him. There
was not white man that had anything
to do with it-an negroes. The other
three negroes that were killed were shot
dead on the spot. They knew where the
woman was and would not tell.


g saw lady who helped to shroud
the murdered woman, and she said she
was bruised all over her body, where he
had hit her with his fist. She leaves

to nothing earthly Nay, a modern French
philosopher has maintained, that TO pursue
health-bodily health that isis the main

certain, that, whether or not the pursuit
of health be itself virtue, the attainment
and the possession of health conduce in a
degree most remarkable, if not to virtue
at least to clearness of thought, 10 sound

conduct-which are commodities much
more marketable than virtue is. Now the
two great conditions of health are abund-

ing this 1t is in accordance with this
principle that DR.. Gottlieb Fischs Bitters
acts. 1t stimulates the digestive and nu-
tritive process, on the one hand, and, pari
