THE EDITOR OF THE YEAR 1883
TIip editor of 1SS3 will be para
grapliically bright, -witty and wise
to the extent of a column or more
sis times a week, twenty-five days
a rnenth, and some three hundred
odd days durinc: the year even
though his head have a cold in it,
or bis stomach have dyspepsia in
it, or in his bones be rheumatism,
or in his liver excessive bile.
As to regularity of intellectual
effort, he is to be a cast-iron man,
not affected by changes of weather,
by cold rooms, or rooms over
heated, or by discordant and harsh
sounds about him as he endeavors
to chain his thought by pen and
ink to paper.
And he shall ever write in the
cheerful, genial, hopeful strain,
though there be sickness at home
and debts due abroad, though he
sees one wolf at the front door
and two at the back door.
And his thought shall ever be
clear and its measure and sound
ings deep, though corns twinge
and bunions afflict; though teeth
ache and his epigastrum through
sensation proclaim itself an abused
organ; though his head throb by
reason of some nocturnal passing
indulgence, toward which there
may be that natural tendency on
the principle that the best bow
must at times be unstrung, and
that there is even a painful tension
in the steady and long-continued
habit of hard, conscientious, pains
taking work.
The editor of 1883 will never sigh
for relaxation; never wish to go a
fishing, never ask a vacation;
never long to be rich, that he may
work when he m03t feels like it.
lie will never become tired or
nauseated as ho looks over the
daily exchanges, and finds them,
as ever, filled with the same mo
notonous records of deaths, mur

capital stock is $50,000, divided
into 500 shares of 100 each. This
road will penetrate a rich timber
district in Mason county, and will
be used in transporting logs from
the interior to the salt water. Tho
first section, two and one-half
miles in length, will be built and
stocked during the present season.
Ducks are reported to bo able
to fly 1.500 miles at one time, and
the pace of the awallow and martin

to observe the flight of storks and
cranes passing over his fated bat
talions, subsequent events of the
politics of Europe might have been
very different. These storks and
! cranes knew of the coming of a
great and terrible winter; the birds
hastened toward the south, No-

As to tnimicrv,
the most astonishing power of any
animal, says Dr. H. "W. Mitchell.
Inhabiting as it does the forests of
Africa and feeding upon the
boughs of trees, its great size
makes it a most conspicuous ob
ject. Its most dreaded enemies
are tho stealthy lion and man. In
the regions it most frequents are j
manv dead and blasted trunks of I
j trees, and its mimicry is such that j
the most practiced eye has failed
to distinguish a giraffe from a tree J
j trunk or a tree trunk from a gi- j
raffe. It has even been said that
a lion has looked long and ear
nestly at a giraffe, in doubt j
whether it was a tree or not, and j
then skulked awav. '

It is said that the last spike of
the main line of the N. P. will be
driven at a point from ten to fif

for a grand celebration at Helena
when the work is completed.
The JSFeics charges Lappeus, the
Portland chief of police, with "be

he receives $2 a week as hush
money for each Chinese tan table
in the city, and that there are Co

Prof. Sturtevant sa3's that the
plants we call weeds !-trngglc to
maintain themselves against the
efforts of man to destroy them,
and have naturally become tho se
lect ones, whose fecundity, or
power of multiplication and resist
ance, have either been originally
i very great, or else great by modi-
ification. Could select varieties of
S cultivated plants be maintained
! against such adverse influences as
ihave been overcome bv weeds,;
such a variety would beco
incalculable benefit to th
vator.
