"Did you, sonny? How did you know he was an editor?"
"Cause I did."
"But, my son, he might have been a carpenter, a blacksmith, or a shoe- maker."
"Oh, no, papa, he was an editor, for he was gnawing a bone, he had no stockings on, the crown was out of his hat, and his coat was torn. I am sure he was an editor."
Had this man just stepped into the store of Hitchcock & Co., at a trifling expense, he could have saved himself from that vile insult.

DETROIT WHITE LEAD .- It will be seen by an advertisement elsewhere, that the white lead used in painting the north wing of the Russell House, that part fronting on Michigan avenue, is of home manufacture, hav- ing been made at the Detroit White Lead Works of Messrs. Worcester, Laible, & Standish, The building is particularly distinguishable for its re- markable whiteness, and has been uni- versally admired. The testimony of two practical painters, employed in painting the building, is that the De- troit white lead is of superior body and better covering qualities to that used on the remainder of the building for the outside coat. This is a worthy testimonial to home manufacture .- Advertiser and Tribune.
Pure Peninsula Lead is unsurpassed in whiteness, fineness, and durability. It is whiter, more finely ground, and contains greater body and duration than any White Lead in the United States.

TRUE MERIT NEEDS NO PRAISE.
This is the case with the Tremont House, Jackson. The well-known rep- utation of the hosts of this popular house could not be bettered by any- thing we might say. Mr. F. L. SMITH, has been connected with hotels for nearly twelve years; and has, during that time, been employed in most of the First Class Houses of the State. L. D. HURD, has long been known as the Landlord of the Tremont. This, we think, is a sufficient guarantee that they know "how to keep a Hotel," and we but reiterate the sentiments of all who may have had the pleasure of stopping with them, when we say: "They are the right men and in the right place." Those who may have business in Jackson cannot find a bet- ter House for the same price than the Tremont. Give them a call.
A radical change is about to be effec- ted in the mode of shoeing horses in France. The old fashioned shoe is to be altogether discarded; the hoof of the horse will be allowed to grow nat- urally, and it will be protected against accidents and wear and tear by being enclosed in a thin circle of iron, which will preserve it from danger without compressing it.

THE SUNKEN LAKE .- The Sentinel published at Jacksonville, Oregon, of the 12th ult., says: Several of our citi- zens returned last week from a visit from the Great Sunken Lake, situated in Cascade Mountains, about seventy- five miles north-east from Jacksonville. This lake rivals the famous valley of Sinbad the sailor. It is thonght to av- erage 2,000 feet down to the water all round. The walls are almost perpen- dicular, running down into the water, and leaving no beach. The depth of the water is unknown, and its surface is smooth and unruffled, and lies so far below the surface of the mountain that the air currents do not affect it. Its length is estimated at twelve miles, and its breadth at ten. No living man ever has, and probably never will be able to reach the water's edge. It lies silent, still and mysterious, in the bo- som of the "everlasting hills," like a huge well, scooped out by the hands of the giant gem of the mountain, in unknown ages gone by, and around it the primeval forests watch and ward are keeping. The visiting party fired a rifle several times into the water at an angle of forty-five degrees, and were able to note several seconds of time from the report of the gun until the ball struck the water. Such seems incredible but is vouched for by some of our most reliable citizens. The lake is certainly a most remarkable cu- riosity.

UNITED STATES CASUALTY.
That system and management ren- der everything possible is proved by the success which has been won by this company, even from misfortune. That all should mutually agree to afford re- lief and indemnity to any suffering from accidents to which every one is liable, is the principle upon which this association is based, and the skillful adjustment and consumate execution of the plan have made it a blessing to many and a source of profit to those who have embarked in the enterprise. As our only mutual accident company, -as one that has amassed during the short term of its existence a hand- some surplus, and which, by the excel- lence of its organization and remarka- ble executive ability, has undoubted claims to general favor and confidence, we commend it to the favorable con- sideration of insurance agents and the insuring public, which should include all who are subject to accidents and have the wisdom to provide against their worst consequences .- N. Y. In- surance Monitor, for October, 1867.

CINCINNATI HOME FIRE INSUR- ANCE COMPANY.
In the July number of the MONITOR we alluded as delicately as possible to a communication from a highly res- pectable source, charging some of the officers of this company with borrow- ing $103,000 in U. S. bonds, merely for the sake of defeating the Illinois insurance law. This accusation is re- iterated more circumstantially in the St. Louis Insurance Review. How long will the company remain content to lie under this infamous imputation, including perjury and a shameless be- trayal of public confidence ? We shall be only too happy to open our columns to a refutation of a charge so damag- ing to its interests and which ought to be no longer suffered to pass unchal- lenged .- N. Y.

"Julia, here are two cakes-one for you and one for Mary. Mary don't want hers now, and you may carry it for her till we get home." After a while the mother observed that Miss Julia began eating the second cake, having already disposed of one. Of course she thought it was time to speak. "Julia, whose cake are you eating ?" "Mine, ma." "And where is Mary's?" "Why, I eat hers up first."
A paper tells of a visit to a cave near Augusta, Ga. While the party were within, investigating the gloomy inte- rior, there was noticed an old colored man standing on the outside, who was asked: "Say, uncle, why don't you go into the cave?" "Ah, my master," said he, " de Lord knows I see trouble enough on the top of the earth. I don't go into dat hole a searching ar- ter misery."

WORKING MASONS.
We fully endorse the views of our cotemporary as expressed in the fol- lowing article:
"Included under the general head of Freemasons, there are several vari- eties of craftsmen, of which it is well, occasionally, to 'take due notice. It is not a difficult task on visiting a iodge, and comparing the names of those present with the names on the roll o? members, to divide the latter at once into two classes-the working Masons, and the idle ones-let us look at them and note their characteristics. The working Mason is one who not only feels a deep interest in the welfare of the lodge and the general prosperity of the Order, but proves by his acts the reality and sincerity of that feeling. He is present at every meeting of his lodge, unless prevented by duties which have a still higher claim on him -his duty to his country, to his fami- ly, or his God. We do not mean by working Masons, particularly, one who takes a part in what is technically known as the work of the lodge-that is the rituals, or the conferring of de- grees; but one who regularly attends his lodge, and while there discharges any duty that may be assigned to him. If nothing of this kind falls to his lot, he is still attentive to the proceedings, gives his counsel and advice to pre- serve the harmony and prosperity of the lodge, and is competent to fill any station where he may be required for the time being. This is a working Ma- son.
"Now for the idle: They go to the lodge when summoned, or when there is some great occasion, or when they have to pay dues to avoid being sus- pended, and scarcely ever at any other time. And even then they feel no in- terest in the lodge, unless that interest should center upon themselves. They attend so rarely that they are not qual- ified to do anything when they are present, and as soon as the special ob- ject of the visit is accomplished, they ask permission to retire, they wish to go to the theatre, or to a political meeting, or to meet a business friend, etc. These are generally very worthy men, industrious, thriving, honorable, but they are not working Masons.
"It would be interesting, and furnish a curious exhibit, to know what por- tion of the members of lodges are working Masons. Say in a lodge of one hundred members, how many are regular attendants ? Are there twenty- five, or one-fourth ? We doubt if, in a

large majority of the lodges, there are more than that number; now if we set aside as many more who have legiti- mate creuses : or non-attendance, there will remain jast fifty per cent. of- drones! The remaining members may be called working Masons."
NEWSPAPER .- In a lecture upon news- papers, delivered in Philadelphia by Rev. De Witt Talmadge, he said:
"I now declare that I consider the newspapers to be the grand agency by which the Gospel is preached, igno- rance cast out, oppressior dethroned, crime extirpated, the no id raised, heaven rejoiced and God glorified. Ir the clanking o: the printing press as sheets fly out, I. hear the voice of' '!e Lord Almighty proclaiming io all the dead nations o: the earth, 'Lazarus, come forth !' and to the retreating sur- ges of darkness, 'Let there be light.'"
" Will you have a daily Sun ?" said a news boy to Mrs. Partingtor. "Will you have a daily son? Why, vou lit- tle scapegrace! How dare you insin- urte against a lone woman! No, in- deed-I guess I. won't have a daily son. My dear, poor husband used to com- plain awfully when I presented him with a yearly son, indeed! Begone, you little upstart imp!" And the old lady called for the turkey-tail fan to keep from swooning.
A genius living in California made a nerve and bone all-healing salve, and thought he would expermentalize a lit- tle with it. He first cut off his dog's tail and applied some of the salve to the stump. A new tail grew out im- mediately. He then applied some to the peace of to'l which he cut off, and a new dog grew out. He did rot know which dog was which.
"How do you and your friends feel now?" said an exultant politician in one of our Western States, to a rather irritable member of the defeated party. "I suppose" said the latter, "we feel just like Lazarus did when he was lick- ed by dogs."
A young lady after reading attentive- ly the title of a novel called the " Last Nan," exclaimed: "Bless me! if such a fbing should happen, what would be- come of the women ?" We think a more pertinent inquiry is, " what would become of the poor man ?"

A band of Indians made a sudden attack on a detachment of our soldiers in the mountains. The soldiers had a mountain howitzer, mounted on & mule. Not having time to take it off and get it in position, they backed up the mule and let drive at the Indians. The load was so heavy that' mule and all went tumbling down the hill to- ward the savages, who, not under- standing that kind of warfare, fled like deers. Afterward one of them was captured, and when asked why they run so, replied: "Me big Injun, not afraid of little guns or big guns, but when a white man load up and fire a whole jackass at Injun, me don't know what to do."
ONE of the unfailing sources of com- fort on a cold day, is a Key Stone Stove.

" EAT, drink, and be merry, for to- morrow ye may die." This is an old saying, and should it be true, we know of no better place to begin than at the Star Restaurant, on Washington Av. This place is under the control of old and experienced caterers, who have made it their buisness for years, and as they are both gentlemen, we have no hesitancy in recommending them to the public.
PERSONS wishing to purchase Lamps, should not fail to call and see the splendid assortment just received by A. R. Thayer.
At a crowded concert, a young lady standing at the door of the hall, was addressed by an honest Hibernian who was in attendance, "Indade, Miss, I should be glad to give you a sate, but the empty ones are all full."
