When I began to work in 1860—and it teems as though it were yesterday only, partly because 1 have good health and have always maintained a high moral tone—the editor of the New York Tribune was Horace Greeley. He died in a mad house. The editor of the New York Times was Henry J. Raymond,^he best friend but one I ever had. He was found dead cold and stiff in the hallway of his house. The brightest writer in New York then was Charles G. Halpine— Miles O’Reilly —editor of the New York Citizen. He suffered from a neuralgic tooth and went into the Astor House one day, chloro formed a towel, put it over his head and Joined the majority. The best known correspondent of that era signed “ A. D. R .” A. D. Richardson was walking along the street from The Tribune office when a man slipped up be hind him, tired a bullet in his back, and he died. The managing editor of the New York Herald, Mr. Frederick Hudson, whose name is a living tradition iu news paper circles, having retired on a pension of $20,000, which of itself is enough to stagger any newspaper man, went to live with his family in Concord, N. H. Drove across the railroad track in front of the cars one day. A ll killed. The editor of the only rival The Staats-Zeitung ever had, the New York Journal, Dr. Feodor Meirson, of German birth, but American in feeling, a great, good, loyal fellow, was helping an invalid wife from a train. Didn’t see the other, lost his head and has done no work since. The dearest newspaper working friend I ever had, Stillman S. Conant, managing editor of the New York Times, walked out on the sands of Coney Island one dark night and never returned. The publisher of The Daily News, w hose name escapes me just now, but a man whom everybody in the protession knew, had melancholia, superinduced by neuralgia, walked to his office one morning and blew his brains out. The editor of The Commercial .Advertiser drove along the beach at Long Branch. Ran into a butcher cart. Killed instantly. So, you see, it is not all funny business in the profession.—Joe Howard’s Lecture on Journalism. O p iu m S e llin g Is P r o fit a b le . Whatever opinions may Tie held respect ing the effects of consuming opium, there seems to be no doubt that selling it is a profitable business. Years ago the house of Jardine, Mathe- son & Co. was among the largest im porters of opium into China, and so enormous were the profits that three of the partners, by sheer force of wealth, expand ed into baronets, while a fourth, the late Mr. James Jardine of Dryfeholm, became one of the largest land owners in the south of Scotland. Sir James Matheson and his brother, Sir Alexander Matheson, spent upward of $1,000,000 in buying land in the highlands, and the latter left besides over £640,000. Mr. Magniac, the ex-M. P. who left £200,000, was also a member of this firm. Sir Robert Jardine of Castle- milk is the old head of the firm and prob ably the wealthiest of them all. Sir Rob ert does not only own Castlemilk, one of the finest residences and estates in the south of Scotland, but 10 years ago bought up the Rogersons of Wamphray for £120, 000 and later added the property of Lan rick castle, in Perthshire, to his already great possessions. He could buy up a score of such places if he so desired. Dealing in opium is, of course, only one branch of the great firm’s business, but it is a most important one, and a trade whether right or w rong which has su 3h potentialities of profits must, like Tenny son’s half truth, be a hard matter to fight. —Scottish Leader. T h e C a n a d ia n S le d g e D o g s . Mr. Cameron, in his talk with a Courier reporter, told of the dogs that are used for sledging during the winter in the north west territories of Canada. Six or eight dogs are used on each sledge. They are fed only once in 24 hours, and that is iu the morning before the start is made and after the dogs are in harness. A t that time about four pounds of frozen fish are given to them. Every thing must be in readiness for the start, and the men must look to it that they are at hand to jump on the sledges, for at the very instant that the last morsel of fish disappears the dogs are off at a breakneck speed. Strange as it may seem, the driv ers do not dare to feed the dogs unless they are in harness. Otherwise they would scatter, and nothing more would be see? a of them. They are driven with one long rein attached to the leader. A whip with a very short handle and a very long lash is used to urge them on, though in most cases they need no urging, for they seem to feel that the faster they go the quicker they will come to the post, where food and warmth and a lazy life await them. They travel often as far as 90 miles a day.— Buffalo Courier. A C h in e s e W o m a n B a r r e d . Miss Oy Yoke, a young woman of Chinatown, San Francisco, is tryin g to obtain a medical education. For three years she has been supporting herself by nursing the sick among her own peo ple. She has made application at some of the San Francisco hospitals, but the other nurses have raised objections, and to prevent trouble the directors have been obliged to bar out the young C hi nese girl.

Not 40 rods away, and plowing to ward me, were a great many vessels of singular constinction, having tall sails that looked to me like the side of an outstretched accordion, and upon the prow of every boat was painted a huge, staring eye, with black streaks diverg ing from it.
