I M r Greeley, in the last number of bin ! ~ ." c 0 ' ect '' ons ' concludes a history of the n 'nut: as follows: "The Tribune, as it first appear J, was but the germ of what I sought ito r:iai,e it. Nojournul sofd for a centcould j ever be much more than a dry summary of ; the most important or the most interesting j occurrences of the day; and such is not a , ''Ewspaper, in the higher sense of the term. : " c need to know not only what is done, but | what is proposed and said, by those who -way the destinies of States and realms; and to this end, the prompt perusal of the mani festoes of monarchs, presidents, ministers, legislators, etc ,is indispensable. No umu is even tolerably informed in our day who does not regularly "keep the run" of events and opinions, through the daily perusal of :l . least "ne good journal; and the ready ca vil that "no one can read" ali that a great modern journal contains, only proves the ign ranee or thoughtlessness of the eaviler. No one person is expected -to take such au interest in the rise and fall of stocks, the markets for cotton, cattle, grain, and goods, tite proceedings of Congress, Legislatures, and Courts, the polities of Europe and the ever-shifting phases of Spanish-American anarchy, etc, etc.. as would incite him tp a daily perusal of the entire contents ot a met ropolitan city journal of the first mark. 1 lie idea is rather to embody iu a single sheet the information daily required by al! those who aim to keep "posted" on ali im portant occurrence.-; so that the lawyer, the merchant, the banker, the forwarder, the economist, the author, the politician, etc., may find here whatever he needs to see. and be spaif-d the trouble of looking elsewhere. A copy of a great morning journal contains more matter than an average llftno volume, at I its production costs far more, while it is sold for a fortieth or fiftieth part of the volume's price. There is no other mirseic of eh apness iu comparison with its cost which at ail approaches it. The Electric Tqjggraph has precluded the multiplication of journals in the great cities, by enormously increasing the cost of publishing each of theui. The Tribune., for example, now pays more than 8100,000 per annum, for intellectual labor (reportineincluded) io and about its office, and 8100,000 more for cor respondence and telegraphing—in other words, for collecting and transmitting news. And while its income has been largely in creased from year to year, its expenses have inevitably been -welled even more rapidly; sothat, at the close of 1866, in which its re ceipts had been over $900,000, its expenses j ad been very nearly equal in amount, leav ing no profit beyond a fair rent for the premises ir owned and occupied. And yet its stockholders were satisfied that they had • 'one a good business —that the increase in the patronage and value of the establish ment amounted to a fair interest on their investment, and might well be accepted in licit of a dividend. In the good time eom ine, with cheaper paper and less exorbitant , -barges tbr "cable dispatches" from the < )ld W or!d, they will doubtless reap where they bave now faithfully sown. Yet they realize and except tite fact that a journal radically hostile to gainful arts whereby the cunning and powerful few live sumptuously without useful labor, and often amass wealth, by pandering to lawless sensuality and popular vice, can never hope to enrich its pubjishers so rapidly nor so vastly as 'hough it had a soft side lor the liquor TrafiL-. and for all kindred allurements to carnal appetite and sen-ual indulgence. "Fame is a vapor, popularity an accident, riches takes wings; the only earthly certainty i- oblivion—no man ea; foresee what a day may bring forth, and those who cheer to-day wilhoften c-ur.-e to-morrow: and I cherish the hopeuhnt the journal I projected and estab .(sited will live and flourish long afterl shall have mouldered into forgotten dust, being guided by a larger wisdom, a more unerring sagacity to discern the right, though not by a more un'aitering readiness to embrace and defend it at whatever personal cost; and that the stone which covers my ashes may bear to future eyes the still intelligible inscription 'Founder ofthe New York Tribune."' THE earliest French fool on reeord seems to have been one: named Jean, at the couit of Charles the Simple, of whom Dr. Doran tells us some aneedotes. "This good leilow's influence was so great, that Charles once re marked to him he thought they had better change places. As Jean did not look well pleased at the proposal, Charles asked him if he were not content at the idea of being a king. "Oh, cofltent enough.'' was the re ply, "but I should he exceedingly ashamed at having such a fool." It was this foot who once tried his master's nerves by rush ing into hisroom one morning, with the ex clamation. "Oh, sir. such news! four thou sand m,:-n have risen in the city." "What!" ■ried the startled king, "with what intention •tave tl cv risen?', "Well," said Jean, plac ing his finger on his nose, "probably withtl e intention of lying down again at bed time." One ofthe best examples of this kind of unlocked for sagacity occurs in the story in Rabelais, where acook seeking to charge a porter for eating a crust of bread to the ac companiment of the savor tliat cante from lii- kitchen, the dispute is referred to a poor Tool who is passing, and who, after gravely hearing the parties, decided that the cook -hall be paid for the smell of his shop with the chink ofthe porter's money. DAM EL WEBSTER once paid the following beautiful tribute to woman: "May it please your honors, there is nothing upon thiseaith that can compare with the faith ful attachment of a wife; no creature who Tor the object of her love is so indomitable. n pei severing, so ready to suffer and to die. Under the most depressing circumstances, woman's weakness becomes mighty power, her timidity becomes fearless courage, all her shrinking and sinking passes away, and her spirit acquires the firmness of marble— adamantine firmness—whea circumstances drive her to put forth all her eneigies under the inspiration of her affections." CONTRARIES. —People say they shell peas when they unshell them; that tbey husk corn when they unhusk it: that they dust the furniture when they undust it, or take the dust from it; that they skin •calf when they unskin it; and they scale fishes when they un-eate them. Many men say they arc going to weed their gardens, when tbe'r gar dens are weedy enough already. IT is related of two old Scotch ministers that one asked the other if he was not sore lv tempted at times to go fishing on tho Sunday afternoon. "Oh. mou," replied his fellow laborer, "I'm never tempted lane; I just gang. HEAD Y.
