THE LOWEST DEPTHS OF JOURNALISM.
The < Lyell Argus * has produced a " leader. Here it is verbatim et Uteratum :—" Uphold the right. Saturday 15 July 1876. We dont know anything about Politics and we are not like some of our brother Editors • we don't profess to kuow every' thing; But this much we do know. Viz That the Powers, that be; are through their neglect driving oar beat
men out of the district, men take up land, deposit their money, and then have to wait till dooms day for a Surveyor. The least a Paternal Government can do, is to forward to these confidiDg beingß, a copy of The Budget, or of the Four Million Loan. Or any other light reading matter they may have on hand. Just to while away the time till Sir Julius can go Home (in a Special train) to bring out A. Boy, to survey their leases." A file of this unique paper is before us. It is four puges, of indescribable size, and throughout exhibits a magnificent disregard for punctuation and continuity of ideas. In the last number subscribers are requested to forward their subscriptions without delay, and it is notified that a lady compositor is wanted "with a view to partnership."
