Newspaper Page Text1 - ' T ' 1 I . I I A London Editor. 'during Mr. Clemenst proprietorship was a J;1aTuOUOu uu ,uu thnsian monk. He had in person, ac- cording to James Grant, all the blunt ! and bluff appearance of a tllick.sefc , farmer. He was never, during the many j years of his editorship, to be seen on the : streets without being accompanied by a large mastiff, and a robust stick, which he. himself, called an honest, sturdv cudgel, in his hand; and generally, ac-1 -yy t Ml coram g to tne recouecuons 01 anotuer 01 his staff who knows him as wnll ar Afr. Grant, with a couple of books under his arm, which he had picked up as a bar gain at one of the second-hand book stalls that abounded at this time in the Strand. All his habits were of a piece. Dressing, as he did, in the plainest -possible manner, he had an insuperable ob jection to having his editorial sanctum kept tidy. This extended even to the dusting of his books; the dustier they were the better. They lay, like "Dr. Thirlwall's, in heaps all over the floor, and the whole room was in glorious confusion papers piled upon papers, books upon books. The place was Chaos. Black found his way about the room,itis said,by instinct; but he knew the place of every book, and when chatting with a visitor about any of the questions of the day,he would walk across the room, take down a vol ume to prove his point,read the passage, and return the volume to its place with out removing more of the dust than the operation absolutely required. Henry Hunt was once asked, in cross examination, in a libel case against the Morning Chronicle, whether he had ever been in Mr. Black's room. "Yes," said Hunt. "And how was the editorial sanctum furnished splendidly?" asked the counsel. "I can hardly say that it was." "Can you give the jury some idea of the interior? What do you suppose would have been the value of the furni ture?" said the counsel. "I should not think," was the answer, "the whole of the furniture, if sold at auction, would have fetched more than sevenpence-halfpenny." "Are you serious, sir?" asked the counsel; "re member you are on your oath, sir." "I do remember that," said Hunt, "and remembering it, I have not put too ex travagant a price upcn the furniture." "Then, please to explain, sir," replied the counsel. "How do you arrive at the conclusion that the whole of the furni ture in the editorial sanctum of the Morning Chronicle is not worth more than sevenpence-halfpenny? Explain how you make that out." "Why," said Runt, amid the inextineuishable laugh ter of the Court, "there was no furniture at all m the room except a table anu two r.hairR. and while the table would not havfl fetched sixoence. no one would have given more than three half-pence, as the utmost, for the two chairs to e-ether." Yet,. John Black, with the manners of a bear, possessed the soul of a Salad in, and although he did not care sufficiently for his best friend to walk across the street to shake hands with him, he was ready, at a moment's notice, to unlock his pistol case and fight a duel with the first man who, like Roebuck, impugned the honor of the fourth estate or its rep resentatives. He was personally the soul of honor, and so croud, personally and professionally, that, although in constant commuaication with Her Maj esty's ministers during the administration of the Whigs, he never asked a single favor of one of them. "You are the only man," said Lord Melbourne to him on one occasion, when chatting with him in his study, "who forgets that I am Prime Minister." "How so, my lord?" asked Black, supposing, for the moment, that he had inad vertently omitted to pay proper respect to the rank of his visitor. "Well," said Lord Melbourne, "you are the only man I know who never asks a favor of me." "I have no favor to ask, my lord," re plied Black. "I have no favor to ask of any one in the world. You are Prime Minister of England, but I am editor of the Morning Chronicle, and I would not change places with the proudest man in England not even, my lord, with you." rC. Pebody in "English Jour nalism." Why Stone Walls are Damp. The walls of a stone house and some times of a brick house, aie covered with dampness. This is due to the very same cause by which due is deposited on grass, or moisture on the side of a glass or pitcher that, is filled with ice-water and brought into a warm room. The walls become cold, and as stone is a non conductor of heat, they remain cold for a long time. When the weather changes suddenly from cold to warm, the air be comes filled with moisture, for the warmer the air is the more moisture it will absorb. When this warm air strikes the cold walls, the moisture is deposited on them from the air, which is sud denly cooled by contact with them, and as the warm air is continually coming in contact with the walls, the dampness ac cumulates until it appears like dew upon them, and pours down in streams at times. No plaster should be directly on brick or stone, but furring strips should be nailed to the wall and the lath put on these. Cellars are frequently very damp in the same way by too muoh ventilation in warm weather. The warm air pour ing in is cooled, and its moisture de posited on the walls and floor until they are so wet as to surprise the housekeeper, who wonders how it is the cellar will not dry, and the more it is aired the wetter it becomes. As too long retirement weakens the mind, so too much company dissipates it. ALL SORTS. Bats always shear off the wings of flies before eating them.

When Danas saw Jupiter descending in a shower of gold, she simply remarked, "The rain is ore." Liverpool seems to Dr. Lyman Abbott "an odd combination of Boston solidity umcago nas tue largest Jtieorew popu- and Bowery garishness." An innocent nerson asked an editor the difference between prose and poetry, and the editor replied that prose was read. If it is vour purpose in life to make your face your fortune, you must look well to it or it will turn out to ue your misfortune. A lecturer is telline "How We Hear." It is easily told.

Montenegro has mobilized her army, which will march upon Yienna as soon as a proper outnt 01 stioes and stocKings can be provided for him. The man who never told a lie never paid a complimeut.
