A REAL JOURNALIST.

LIKE THE POET HE IS BORN, NOT MANUFACTURED.

No Set Rules to Govern His Picturesque Career, Yet He Is the Man Who Controls the World—Capacities Required to Obtain a Place In Journalism.

Can journalism be learned by rules? This question as to whether journalism can ever become a normal career, like other recognized careers, has always haunted and even, I may say, besieged me. And indeed it would be strange if this were not the case. For the knowledge requisite to make a pair of boots, or a hat, or a pair of gloves may be taught according to established principles and fixed rules by dissection of the dead human body may be discovered the laws of medicine and the best methods of curing the living a lawyer may learn in the schools the modes of procedure and exact precedents of his profession the art of war, its rules and precepts—indeed throughout the entire list of human professions there is for each a special series of laws and conditions by knowledge of which he who enters as an apprentice may go out, by slow degrees of advancement, a master.

But in journalism alone among professions this is not the case. In this career there is no body of doctrine, no series of fixed rules, apparently no possible method of instruction.

Nowhere has there been an attempt to establish such laws, nowhere has there as yet been a school for journalist apprentices, where they might learn precise rules for their profession or obtain a recognized basis of preliminary and indispensable knowledge, and yet journalism governs the world and is becoming daily a more and more influential power. The problem is really pressing, and even because of its very difficulty fascinating to the mind.

Men who cannot make up their minds to follow another's lead along a path to be traced slowly, step by step, often leave the slower and more regular professions to enter journalism, much as formerly mercenaries engaged themselves to this and that foreign army, quite willing to fight at random on the morrow against an enemy whose very existence the night before was unknown to them. Once become journalists, they change their newspaper, as formerly they changed their profession or career.

They jump from grave to gay, from the political journal to the journal of satire. They become at will reporters, chroniclers, art critics, literary reviewers, not seeking in any way to study the course of events, the drift of the times, but, on the other hand, fitting all contemporary ideas and events to the measure of their own personal temperament, so that ah event or problem, thus treated according to the fancy of a journalist, appears tragical or oomic, without any sort of regard for its real character. Instead of describing it at it is, establishing the principle which it illustrates, they scatter abroad confusion and produce in tht public mind a condition of uncertain kaleidoscopic eclecticism which is the negation of all really authoritative opinion and the destroyer of all conviction.

To obtain a place in journalism an entire series of capacities is required, all to be summed up, but not defined, in the single word talent. The absolutely ignorant, men without imagination, without inteilligence, without the gift of assimilation, without, let me add, audacity and gayety, cannot obtain a place, cannot succeed in journalism.

The man who would enter a school of journalism should feel a positive "call" to this vocation, should have in him the unwearying vigilance which is an absolute condition of it, the love of danger —of civil danger, that is—and real peril, a boundless curiosity and love for truth, and a special and marked facility of rapid assimilation and comprehension.

Take a young man possessing the first scholarly diplomas in his country. If he enjoys good health if he has the free use of all his bodily faculties if he sees and hears accurately and knows how to express quickly what he hears and sees, then, if he wishes to be a journalist, take him in hand, undertake his education, give him that general equipment fitted for the various forms of battle which such a career implies, and if you do not make a great journalist of him you will, at all events, make one who can easily stand comparison with any, even the most authoritative product of the utterly disorganized journalism of today. But you will do more than this. You will have created a type, one of a special class, now isolated and rare, but soon to increase and multiply —the type of the journalist—elect, standing head and shoulders above the common stream of contemporary journalists. In other professions those who issue from a special school, with a speoial training, area model for those less favored by fortune. They precede and guide the latter, and, with the rarest exceptions, always maintain fcheir lead. So it must be in journalism whenever in any country a national school of journalism shall have been created. —M. De Blowitz.

May Be Able to Lend Him Some

"And you think," she murmured, "that we oould be happy on your present iacome?" "Ye3," replied the young man, "I am sure of it. "And you will not ask papa for money?" "No. Your father and I played poker last night. Unless he changes his ideas of the game I won't have to ask.himiafor money."—Washington Star. „i: \i„

A FATAL MISTAKE.

It Was Made by a Profuse Frenchman In His Leave Taking. A citizen of France who has an inveterate habit of confounding everything whioh is said to him and has been endeavoring to acquire a knowledge of our vernacular was about leaving his boarding house for a more comfortable quarter. All the little mysteries of his wardrobe, including his last nether garment and umbrella, had been packed up, when he bethought to himself the unpleasant duty now devolving upon him —that of bidding "ze folks" goodby.

After shaking his fellow boarders cordially by the hand and wishing them, with incessant bowing, "ze verree best success in ze virl" and "ze benediction du chief." he retired in search of his "dear landlady," to give her also his blessing. He met her at the staircase, and advancing, hat in hand, with a thousand scrapes,commenced his speech: "Ah, madame, I'm going to leave you. You have been verree amiable to me, madame. I will nevare forget you for zat. If in my countree, I would ask zer government to give you a pension, madame. The good lady put down her head and blushed modestly, while our Frenchman proceeded: "Veil, I must go. You know in zeese life it is full of pain and trouble. If Got adopted ze virl vich Lamartine made in his poesie, zen zure should be no more pain. Adieu, madame—adieu! Perhaps forever.''

Thereupon the Frenchman was making his exit, when he was suddenly called back by his landlady, who interestedly inquired, "Why, Mr. you have forgotten your latchkey." Mr. appeared amazed, apparently not understanding his interrogator. "Yes," continued Mrs. "you know it is the rule for all boarders to give me their latchkeys. Oh,madame," interrupted the Frenchman, with enthusiasm, "Ivill give you not one—not- one, but zouzands!" and, applying the action to the word, he sprang toward Mrs. and, embracing her tightly in his arms, kissed her most heroically. The affrighted Mrs. recovering herself at length, cried out, "Thekey, Mr. •, the key!" Frenchy, looking confused, confounded,ejaculates with heavy sighs: "Oh, madame, I zot you ax me for one kees, and I give it to you. Vat a fatale mistake 1"—Scottish American.

A BIT OF PENCIL

Priced Because It Is a Veteran and Went Through the War.

"I have a very fine and choice cabinet of relics and specimens of the late war," said J. Fillmore of South Dakota. "In the collection is an old fashioned common lead pencil, only three-quarters of an inch long, which was given to me by Major J. B. Fairbanks, who carried it through the entire war, and in presenting it to me the major gave me this biographical sketch of the pencil: 'This pencil is a veteran of the late war. When it enlisted, it was round and of full length. 'When the war was over, it was, like many other veterans, badly used up. During its service it campaigned in dust and mud, over the hills and plains of Maryland and Virginia, through the swamps of Mississippi, across the mountains of Kentucky and Tennessee, again through Virginia, from the Wilderness to Appomattox. It has watched upon the picket line in daylight and in darkness, in heat and in cold, in rain and in snow. It has taken part in many skirmishes, and in more than half a score of regular battles, and in addition it went through the siege of Petersburg, and was engaged in several of the assaults upon that stronghold. With it, for eight months, while the owner was first sergeant of his company, he kopt the daily record and report of the company. 'It wrote the name and the number of those on detached service, of the absent with leave, of those daily detailed for ordinary camp duties or occasionally for some special duty, of the number present for duty and the sick in quarters. At the roll call after battle it has noted the names of those who did not answer. It has recorded the names of those men as killed in battle, wounded in battle, died of wounds, died of disease, discharged on account of wounds received and disease contracted in line of duty. In its own way it has written its humble page in the history of the most eventful epoch of all times. Preserve it and cherish it.' "—Kansas City Times. "Vox Populi," Not "Vox Dei."

We all know a favorite and much quoted proverb is "Vox populi, vox Dei. Is it not, perhaps, of all proverbs, the most fallacious? Was it not Carlyle who asked, "How many fools does it take to make a public?" Does not another popular proverb say, "Too many cooks spoil the broth?" It is a vulgar error to believe that many persons together can decide better upon a subject than one person alone. An optimist might argue that this belief has taken birth from the modesty of mankind, a pessimist that it has arisen from the desire to escape responsibility.

The popular notion is thai a number of intellects can b6 summed up into one hole, but the fact is they limit each other and act as a clog. "Men," said Galilei, "are uot like a number of horses attached to a carriage, all pulling together, but rather like a number of loose horses running a race, of which one gains the prize." Blackwood's Magazine.

His Prize.

Father (who has given his consent)— I hope, young man, that you know the value of the prize you will get in my daughter?

Young Man—Well—er—no, sir. I don't know the exact value, but, as near as I can find out, it's in the neighborhood of £5,000.—London Answers.

Though Vermont has increased in population but 2,000 in 25 years, Massachusetts has added nearly 1,000,000 to its inhabitants in the same time, and Rhode Island and Connecticut also show a steady growth.

Hon. Wm. H. English, of Indianapolis Is certainly deserving of the highest com* mendatlon for his action in withdrawing from public life several years ago in orders to devote himself to the task of writing: at history of Indiana, the introduction off which is now appearing In two volume® under the title of "COITOUEST OF THE? NORTHWEST." He !s a millionaire, and it is therefore unreasonable to suppose that his work along historical lines was animated by any spirit of selfishness or sordidnese. No othpr Man is so well equipped for the task he self-imposed. He has been a conspicuous flgurfe in Indiana almost continuously since It was admitted to Statehood. He was secretaryT of the Constitutional Convention, and hi0 personality Is strongly marked in the organio law as well as in much of subsequent legislation. His grfe-at wealth hatf afforded him opportunities for devoting his entire attention to literary labor. Hia intimacy with- public men and State an® Federal officials, has given him exceptional facilities for gaining acoess to documents necessary to insure thoroughness and exactness in the preparation of history.
