THE first number of The News, an evening paper just started al Indianapols, under the management of Mr. JOHN H. HoLLiDAY,is at hand. It is asmall.neatly iprinted, well-edited, newsy sheet, sold at two cents a copy, and furnished to subscribers at ten cents a week. "We believe Mr. HOLLIDAY, who is a journalist of considerable experience, has not inaugu rated this enterprise without a careful survey of the field and a cool estimate of the chances. He knows the expense attend ing the publication of a daily journal, and knows that nothing short of a most liberal support can sustain one in small city, even when it has a clear field. With this knowledge he brings out his venture in a city of fifty thousand inhabitants, where two other evening papers have been for some time established. It seems like rashness, but HOLLIDAY is not a rash man, nor one who is likely to engage in any enterprise that does not give strong promise of success. He intends The News to be healthy and longlived, and if energy and hard work can command success we are sure he will attain it. At all events we are glad to welcome The News to our exchange list, and if its prosperity shall be commensurate with o^r good wishes its manager will have no occasion for complaint.

What is It?

MARK

TAPLEY, the venerable WIL-

KINSMICAWBER, the gentleman who was unable to refrain from an exuberant ditty even in the chamber of the dead little DOMBEY, never enjoyed even a circumstance of the little thing that

PANDORA

happened to be able to shut the lid down on, in the box given her husband by Jupiter, compared with what made beautiful the departing years of the late JAMES BUCHANAN.—Ind. Journal.

We take the above from an editorial in the Indianapolis Journal, an editorial so good that it has been deemed worthy of publication three times in that paper during the last few days. On its first appearance, last week, we read and reread it with some attention, bewailing our stupidity at not being ablo to "see the point," and reluctantly laid down the paper in utter ignorance as to what it was that the writer intended to have the reader "compare with what made beautiful the departing years of the late JAMES BUCHANAN,"

and equally uninformed as

to which of the "years" of that defunct functionary were more particularly "de parting years" than the rest. Asa daily newspaper is a thing of a day, the subject was soon last sight of, and might not have been recalled, had not the same editorial stared us in the face, in the Indianapolis Journal of Tuesday morning. Again we tried to solve the question, what is it that the editor is so anxious should be "compared with what made beautiful the departing years of the late JAMES BUCHANAN?" Could it be the "circumstance" that DICKENS'heroes"never enjoyed or "the little thing that

PANDORA

happened to

shut the lid down on? Was it one, or both of the*e? We had to give it up a second time, and nothing but a constitutional prejudice against profanity, supplemented by cordial detestation of an ungentlemanly habit, prevented us from cursing our stupidity in not being able to understand an article so excellent that one publication of it failed to satisfy the public demand and a reissue was called for. This brief statement of two days' selfhumiliating torture will enable the sympathetic reader to judge what must have been our feelings when, on Wednesday morning, we seized our favorite exchange, the Indianapolis Journal, and opening it found still staring us in the face from the most conspicuous position of tho.editorial page:

Mark Tapley, the venerable Wilkins Micawber, the gentleman who was unable to retrain from an exuberant ditty even in the chamber of the dead little Dombey, never enjoyed even a circumstance of the little thing that Pandora happened to be able to shut the lid down on, in the box given her husband by Jupiter, compared with what made beautiful the departing years of the late James Buchanan.

Is this thing to go on forever? Will the "call" for that editorial never "let up?" Must our self-esteem be diurnally punctured with a reminder that we are incapable of comprehending an article that so palpably hits, and so completely suits the public taste? an article that, like Jo JEFTERSON'S "Rip," always seems new and fresh? an article that, like Egypt's royal wench, age cannot wither, nor custom stale? Must we face it again to-day and "to-morrow and tomorrow, to the last sylable of recorded time?" Are emigration and suicide the only available means of escape?

Markl'wain Browsing Around—Bac$ from "Yurriip," Correspondence of Buffalo Express.!

BOSTON,

November, 1869.

Have you ever seen a family of fools just back fiom Europe—or Yurrup, as they pronounce il? They never talk to you, of cours'e, being strangers, but they talk to each other and at you till you are pretty nearly distraced with their clatter till you are sick of their ocean experiences heir mispronounced foreign names their dukes and emperors their trivial adventures their pointless reminiscences till you are sick of their imbecile faces and their relentless clack, and wish it had pleased Providence to leave the clapper out of their empty skulls.

I traveled with such a family one eterna day, from New York to Boston, last week. They had spent just a year in "Yurrup,' and were returning home to Bostou. Papa said Aittle, and looked bored—he had simply been down to New York to receive and cart home his cargo of traveled imbecility^ Siater j^ngelfne, aged 23 sister Augusta, aged 25 and brother Charles, aged 33, did the conversational drivel,and mamma purred and admired, and threw in some help when occasion oflered, in the .way of remembering some French barber's—1 should say some French Count's—name, when they pretended to have forgotten it. They occupied the choice seats in tile- jaarlor of the drawing-room car, and' foi- twelve' hours I sat opposite to them—was their vis-a-viss, they would have said, in their charming French way.

Augusta—"Plague that nashty (nasty) steamer! I've the headache, yet she roiled so the fifth day out."

Angeline—"And well you may. I never saw such a naehty old tub. I never want to go in the VlUe de Paris again.— Why didn't we go over to London and come in the Scotia f"

Aug.—"Because we were fools!" [I fervently indorsed that sentiment Ange.—"Gustie, what made Count Caskowisky drive off looking so blue, that:, last Thursday in L'airy? (Paris she1 meant.) Ah, Own up, now!"

Aug.—"Now, Augie, how you talk! I told the nahsty creature I would not receive his attentions any longer. And th£ old duke, his father, kept boring me about him and his two million francs a year, till I sent him off with a flea-in his ear."

Chorus—"Ke-he-he! Ha-ha- ha!" Charles—[Pulling a small silken cloak to pieces.] "Angie, where'd you get this cheap thing?"

Ange.—"You Cholly, let that alone Cheap? Well, how could I help it?— There we were, tied up in Switzerland— just down from Hon Blong (Mont Blanc, doubtless)—couldn't buy anytliing in those nahsty shops so far away from Pairy. I had to put up with thatslimpsy forty dol lar rag—but bless you, I couldn't go na ked!"

Chorus—"Ke«he he!" Aug.—"Guess who I was thinking of? Those ignorant persons we saw first in Rome and afterwards in Venice—those

Ange.—"O, ha-ha-ha! Ile-e-he! It was so funny! Papa, one of them called the Santa della Spiggiola the Santa della Spizziola! Ha-ho-ha And she thought it was Canova that did Michael Angelo's Moses 1 Only think of it—Canova a sculptor and the Moses a picture! I thought I should die! I guess I let them see by the way I laughed that they'd made fools of themselves, because they blushed and sneaked off." [Papa laughed faintly, but not with the easy grace of a man who was certain he knew what he was laughing about.]

Aug.—"Why Cholly! Where did you get those nashty Beaumarcliais gloves?Well, I wouldn't, if I were you!"

Mamma—[With uplifted hands.]"Beaumarcliais, my son!" Ange—"Beaumarcliais! Why how ban you! Nobody in Pairy wears those nahsty things btft the commonest people."

Charles—"They are a rum lot, but then Tom Blennerhasset gave 'eni to me— he wanted to do something or other to favor, I s'pose."

curry

Ange/—"Tom Blennerhasset!" Aug.—"Tom Blennerhasset!" Mamma.—"Tom Blennerhasset! And have you been associating with himf'

Papa—[suddenly interested.] "Heavens, what has the son of an honored and honorable old friend been doing?"

Chorus.—"Doing I Why, his father has indorsed himself bankrupt for friends,--that's what's the matter!"

A.nge "Oh, mon Dieu, j'al faini! Avezvous quelque chose de bon, en votre poclie, mon cher frere? Excuse me for speaking French, for, to tell the truth, I haven't spoken English for so long that it comes dreadful awkward. Wish we were back in YurrUp—c'st votre desire aussi, n'est-ce pas, mes cheres?"

And from that moment they lapsed into barbarous French, and kept it up for an hour—hesitating, gasping for words, stumbling head over neels through adverbs and participles, floundering among adjectives working miracles of villainous pronunciation—and neither one of them ever by any cliance understanding what another was driving at.

By that time some new-comers had entered the car, and so they lapsed into English again and fell to holding everything American up to scorn and contumely in order that they might thus let those new-comers know they were just home from "Yurrup." They kept up this little game all the way to Boston and if ever I can learn when their funeral to take place I shall lay aside every other pleasure and attend it. To use their pet and best beloved phrase, they were a "nahastv" family of American snobs, and there ought to be a law against allowing such to go to Europe and misrepresent the nation. It will take these insects five years, now, to get done turning up their noses at every thing American, and making damaging comparisons between their, own country and Ynrrup." Let us pity their waiting friends in Boston in their affliction.

can that thing be justified Mr. Beecher? The history goes back tif that time.

There must have been a time when Mr. Richardson had become aware that his friendship for a fellow boarder became something else. If

had promptly withdrawn himself from influence over her life and feelings, it is quite probable that Mr. Beecher would never have been called upon to officiate at a certain marriage, and quite certain that if called uponomciate at the funeral of Mr. Richardson he could more truly have said 'tlaf^ MfclUBT wjg^pure fljH^|in?oin

ing him before she knew Richardson? These are not pleasant questions to ask, but they cannot be suppressed when the Rev. Mr. Frothingham thanks God in prayer "for what these two have been to each other." Such an expression forces people to ask whether these two, Richardson and the wife of McFarland, had in fact done their whole duty to each other, and to those about them.

As a rule, it may be said that if a husband and wife have once lived happily together, there can never be a separation with-1 out misconduct by three persons, the hus-

The wife who never fails in her duty to her husband, will not, as a rule, have to seek protection from some other man. And the man who never interferes between husband and wife, who never makes himself to the wife a nearer friend than her husband, who never seeks her love on the one hand, or draws to near if she invites, on the other, will never, as a rule, get shot by an "infuriated hus-
