Scotch Whiskey and the Editor

An American. editor says :— "A present in the shape of a bottle of fine old Scotch whiskey was kindly . sent to this office at two p.m. on Thursday ; ten minutes past that hour not a drain of liquor remained ; ten seconds later the office boy had sold the bottle at the rag and bone shop next door. At 2.30 three men, were charged at the police court with, being drunk and disorderly. The editor of this- paper returns thanks for this handsome gift and would feel obliged if the donor: of the whiskey would send along seventy-two shillings, a- pelieeman's helmet, a new office boy, four panes of glass,, a new street-door knocker, and — no nior§ w-hibky." General Boul anger is- the first Repnb* hcnn statesman since the- death of M.. Gambetta who has- made ardent partisans in Prance, and above all has been able to excite the enthusiasm &( the crowd- Not has he- acquired this prestige wJth the people only but also with the army — with those soldiers oni whom he lavishes leave-nf absence and additional time oat,. whom.be has decorated with a beard nnd relieved of a knapsack — with those offiV cvrs vrho<« promotion he anticipates, and who are delighted to see- the army once more Sling a place and making a noise ;in the world. Now, in a democracy, the i cfanger of a military dictatorship can never be absent. Contemporary Review.

If every newspaper adopted 1 the plan' of some American' publications therewould be fewer complaints nbont uopaid ; accounts for advertising levanters. The process is rather painful to the subject,, but is certainly adapted to make a cure.. This is the way one of them serves an. individual named C B. Thompson r— " We have taken out Thompson's 'ad,*' and insert this instead. We believe himi to be the biggest Dead beat out ot gaol,, and if his articles are no more reliablethan he is they are not worth the cord it would take to hang them. Thompsoit\ . gets his living by buying goods without paying for them,, and getting hts advertising in the same manner. Paying isno part of his religion-, and' from his. treatment of us we- are justified in believing him to lie one of the most un-r---scrupulous swindlers, that has succeeded; . in keeping out of the Penitentiary, Pass, him along.
