| The manufacture of intelligence in times j of stagnation is an important industry in ; the Westefu states of America, where the j newspaper editors are often at (heir wits’ enil to find sufficient food of a stimulating nature to satisfy the voracious appetites of their readers. Some interesting details ! are given by the Cincinnati (Tazette of the ingenuity displayed in this line by a Air Bennett, now dead, hut once editor of the Cincinnati Enquirer. It was Air Bennett’s practice, when news were scarce, to make imaginary children tumble from Newport ferry-boat into the Ohio river, where they certainly would perish hut’for the gallantry of a gentleman who happened to witness the occurrence, and who plunged into the Water and rescued them—this gentleman being always some particular friend of Air Bennett’s whom he delighted to honor. ■Some of these heroes, however, at last hee one weary of the distinction thus thrust upon thorn, and a certain Air Kellum, who had several times figured-in the columns of the Enquirer as the saviour of perishing innocents, preferred a request that his name might no longer ho used for the purpose. Tie was assured that his request, although it was proof of a curiously sensitive'fesposition, should be complied with, and this promise was faithfully kept, for the next day Mr Kellum read in the Enquirer that on the previous day a beautiful little girl, the child of a prominent citizeu of Newport had fallen from the Newport ferryboat in the river, and that Air Kellum, who’was standing close by and could have rescued the child from a watery grave, refused to render any asistaueo. Boiling with indignation, Air Kellum hurried to the office of the Enquirer, and uttered fearful threats of what he would do to Mr Banuett if this uuplcasantry continued. That gent’emnn, however calmly pulling off his coat, said, “See here Kellum, you are not a had fellow in .your way, but 1 cannot stand any interference with my department. If I make any statement in the Enquirer you mus’nt come round here contradicting it. That isn’t journalism.” Air Kellum retired rbashed, and thenceforward submitted calmly to the pleasantries of his friend. Holloway’s Ointment and Pills.— Health and Vigor. —To the most regular liver occasional disturbances of digestion will occur, which may be corrected at once by these famous pills, the alterative and tonic powers of which cannot be too highly extolled. \ dose now and then will prove salutary to every one; but a continued course tanst be taken by the confirmed invalid. It is wonderful how the appetite and digestion improve in proportion as the Pills exert their wholesome influence over animal ecorfcftny. They augment: muscular strength ami mental vigor. Holloway’s Pills frequently cure diseases of the digestive o-gans after all other medicines have failed to afford relief, and they are especially sorvicablo in disorders of the liver and kidneys.
