Mark Twain as n Fighting INUIT*
, Mark Twain, who is making a very good
allow as a journalist, relates the following an
among Ms experiefices, prefacing his narrative
with a quotation from a western paper, which
may be regarded as his text :
The editor of the Memphis Avalanche
swoops thus mildly down upon a correspon
dent Who posted him as a radical : " While he .
was writing the first word, the middle word,
dotting his l's, crossing his t's and punching
his periods, lie knew he was concocting a sen
tence that was saturated with intiony, and
reeking with falsehood."—Erehd age.

on duty I found the chief editor sitting tilted
hack in a three legged chair with his feet on a
pine table. There was another pine table in
the room, and another afflicted chair, and
both were half buried under newpapers and
scraps and sheets of manuscript. There was
a wooden box of sand, sprinkled with cigar
stubs and "old soldiers," and n stove with a
door hanging by its upper hinge. The chid'
editor had a long tailed black cloth frock coat
on, and white linen pants. Ilis boots were
small and neatly blacked. Ile wore a ruffled
shirt, a large seal ring, a standing collar of
obsolete pattern, and a checkered neckerchief

John W. Blossom, .Esq., the able editor of
the Iligginsville Thunderbolt and Battle Cry
of Freedom, arrived in the city yesterday.
He is stopping at the Van Buren House.
We observe that. our cotemporary of the

It is pleasant to note that the city ofla

New York gentlemen to pave Its well-nigh
Impassable streets with the Nicholson pace-
nient. But it is difficult . to accomplish a de..

Yorkers to do a like service for her and ❑min
declined to pay for it. However, the Daily
hurrah still urges the measure with ability
and seems confident of ultimate success.

broke his leg. He Ins lately been .suffering
with debility, caused by overwork and anxiety
on account of sickness In his family, and it is
supposed that lie fainted front the exertion or
walking too much in the sun.
I passed my manuscript over to the chief
editor for acceptance, alteration or destruc
tion. He glanced at it and his face clouded.
He ran his eye down the pages, and his coun
tenance grew portentinus. It was easy to see
that something was wrong. . I•resently la•

*About this time a brick came through the
window with a splintering crash, anti gave nu ,
considerable jolt in the middle of the back.
I moved out of range—l began to feel in the

" That was^the Colonel, likely. ye been

Ile was correct. The 'Colonel' appeared
in the door a moment afterward with a dra

Both pistols rang out their fierce clamor at
the same instant. The chief lost a lock of
hair, and the Camel's bullet ended its career
in the fleshy part of my thigh. The Colonel's
left shoulder was clipped a little. They tired
again. Both missed their men this thne, but
I gut my Awe, a shot in the arm. At the

a walk, as this was a private matter and I had
a' delicacy about participating in it further.
lint both gentlemen begged nil• to keep my
seat and assured me I was not in the way. I
had thought differently up to this time.
They then talked about the elections and
the crops a while, and I fell to tying up my
wounds. lint presently they opened lire again
with animation and every shot took effect—
but it is proper to remark that live out of six
fell to my share. The sixth, one mortally
wounded the Colonel, who remarked, with
tine humor, that he had business up town.
Ile then inquired the way to the undertaker's
and left. The chief turned to me and said :
•• I am expecting company to dinner and

1 winced a little at the idea of attending to
the customers, but I ,Wll,l too bewildered by
the fusillade that was still ringing In my ears
to think of anything to say. Ile continued :

Mrs. Graham called on Mrs. Grant one
pleasant day in July. They were neighbors,
and loved a bit of gossip. Mrs. Graham seated
herself near the open window, and looked out
over the fragrant garden to the little white
house beyond.
" Who lives there ?" is the query.
"Don't you know ? There is •the place
where the widow Uryson and her duughter

“Alt ! the old and the young lady who sat

"Yes ; are you not going to he neighborly

"I don't associate with every one."
"No, I suppose not—but are not these nice
people ?"
"Oh ! I don't say they are not. I don't be
lieve in talking ill of my neighbors ; if I can't
speak well of any one, I believe In just letting
them alone."
" ! what is it ?"
"Oh, uothing much ; but I guess ifyou suwr
what I sce daily you wouldn't think of my
calling ; they don't suffer for want of comp

" Who line been there ? I'll never mention
it," said Mrs. Graham.
Mrs. Grant shook her head.
" Ladies?"
I never saw any ladies calling them"

We will just whisper to the reader that the

" kicked out" of society long ago.
" And you saw hint really there ?" mused
Mrs. Graham. "Is it possible ? Well, one
cannot mistake their character. I'm glad
we've found them out in sheep's clothing."
Mrs. Grant shells her peas Mr dinner, and
Mrs. Graham rolls up her knitting werk.
"Don't-be In a hurry, Mrs. Graham."
" 0 I have not been. By the way you
have not got any yeast that you could spiwe

" Oh! yes ; take a cup full now, or send
Jennie over for it," said Mrs. Grant.
"Going up to Mrs. Merrill's ?" said Mrs.
Grant. " Here's her magazine that I borrow
ed last week ; I have been trying to get John.
to take It ; he likes to read it as well us I do,
but when he can borrow he won't subscribe."
Mrs. Merrill, an aristocratic lady who lives
in a "two story brick," greets her visitor with
'a (mid and polite good morning ; and ushers
iter into the sitting room. There is a canary
in a gilded cage, who is trilling his song very
merrily, and there are blooming flowers in the
