Editorial Writers.
One column a day is a fair average ou
the N w York press for ail editorial
writer, and this could be written in a
few hours; while three articles per
week is the usual stint for the leader
writers on the London Times. Horace
Greeley’s literary labors, vast as they
were, did not occup_y many hours, and
much of his time was consumed in
seeing visitors, reading, and traveling;
and even thtn he died of overwork, as
did Henry J. Raymond, though he too
always took long periods of rest after
his spasms of severe work. Samuel
Bowles, by the aid of a stenographer,
gets through a full day’s siint of edi
torial writing and correspondence in
a few hours daily. (J. Dana is at the
Sun office from about ten to tive,
while much of his time is given to re
ceiving visitors and other light work.
Whitehiw Reid and Louis J. Jennings,
edit their respective papers during the
two hours of each afternoon and three
or four ljoursat night- Park Godwin,
D G. Croly and Major Biinday, who
aM three have charge of afternoon
newspapers, limit their office hours
usually from nine o’clock to four at
the most, which includes an hour for
luncheon. Asa sample ol the daily
life of an exceptionally hard-working
journa.ist, the following account given
by Henry Wattorson, editor of the
Louisville Courier-Journal, may be in
teresting. It is taken from an unpub
lished letter, and it should be remem
bered that it is written by a man who
is partly blind: “I Wake up at ten
o’clock in the, morning, and after a
cup of coffee, I write for two hours in
bed. I get up at noon and have a
plunge bath, and take breakfast with
ny family, who then have taken their
lunch. Igo to the office afterwards,
and remain there till seven, prepared
to see everybody that calls. During
the same time the work of the day is
planned out and everybody begins it.
[ then go borne arid have supper, and
spend the evening until ten o’clock
tin re, usually listening to reading by
my w ife, or having a little music. At
t:n o’clock lam back.at the office
again, where I remain until two
o’clock. lam only able to write two
hours a day myself, and the rest is
done by dictation. I read but little
myself; but glance through the ex
ohanges, in order to give an idea of
things, having important articles read
out loud to me. 1 have no time for
exercise, and do not care f<>r riding,
all the exercise I get being in walking
to and fro from my office.” As an ex
ample of the literary productiveness
of most of ih 3 biLbant and steady
writers on the press, I may add that
•Toliu Hay writes only two hours a
lay, usually in the afternoon, though
iiib favoiite time of composition is
before breakfast. He writes rapidly,
but bis daily average is only one col
umn of Tribune brevier. The other
members of tiie Tribune staff —Has-
sard, Noah, Brooks, Bromley, and
Congdon—do about the same. The
average amount written by the staff
of the Times is about the same. Two
of the hardest literary workers in
America tire E-lward Everett. Hale
and Junes Barton. Yet, the former
is at his desk but three hours each
day, and always insists on having
nine hours sleep, which is the same
amount that President Grant requires;
while Mr. Barton calls his daily work
four hours compos'd ion and three
hours research, or about seven hours
in all, and never exceeds his limit.—
New York Independent.
How Andy Johnson’s Daughter
Used to Run the White House. —
Whatever may be sai l iu criticism of
Mr. Johnson’s public course, all par
ties agree that the White House was
never more gracefully kept and pre
sided over than by his daughter, Mrs.
Patterson —a perfect lady, a model of
a republican mistress of the White
House. Let me toll a fact which has
never been published, but which I had
from the lady’s own lips. Justus she
was about to leave, at the end of Mr.
Johnson’s administration, the steward
of the house took an inventory, and
found that not one article of furniture
was missing or broken; not a. sheet,
towel or napkin was lost; and the
house was iu perfect order from top
to bottom. She told me another fact,
which I know the wives and daughters
of the farmers of Wisconsin will be
glad to hear: When they went into
the White House she purchased two
excellent cows. Prom the milk of
these cows she made all the butter
used, ail the crem, and made all the
ice cream used in the President’s
family during his term. When she
went home she shipped these cows to
Tennessee Is it any wonder, ladies,
that Mrs. Patterson received the first
premium on butter at their late fair,

Mark Twain’s Encounter With
an Interviewer-
Q. How old are you ?
A. Nineteen, in June. . ; .
Q Indeed ! I would have taken
you to be thirty-five or six. Where
were you born ?
A. In Missou i.
Q. When did you begin lo write?
A. In 1836.
Q. Why, how could that be, if you
are only nineteen now?
A. I don’t know. It does seem cu
rious somehow.
Q. It does indeed. Who do you
consider the most remarkable man
yon ever meet)?
A. Aaron Burr.
Q. But you never could have met
Aaron Burr if you are only nineteen
years— *
A. Now, if you know more about
mo tn in I do, what do you ask me
for ?
Q. Well, it was only a suggestion;
nothing more. How did you happen
to meet Burr?
A. Well, I happened to be at nis
funeral one day, a >d he asked me to
make less noise, and —
Q. But, good heavens ! If you
were at his funeral, lie must have
1) on dead; and if he was dead, how
could lie care whether you made a
noise or not?
A. I don’t know. He was always a
particular kind of a man that way.
Q. Still I don’t understand it at all.
You say he spoke to you and that he
was dead
A I didn’t say lie was dead,
Q. But wasn’t he dead ?
A. Well, some said be was and some
said he wasn’t.
Q. What did yon think?
A. O, it was none of my business!
It wasn’t any of iny funeral.
Q. Did you—. However, we can
never get this matter straight. Let
me ask about something else. What
was the date,of your birth?
A. Monday, October 31, 1693.
Q. What.! Impossible! That would
make you 180 years old. How do you
account for that ? 1
A. I don’t account for it at all.
Q. But yon said at first you were
only nineteen, and now you make
yourself out to be 180. It i* an awful
discrepancy. ; l
A. Why, did you noiice that?
hands,) many a time it has
seemed to me a discrepancy, but
somehow I couldn’t make up my mind.
How quick you notice a thing!
This was but the beginning. Be
frfro that interview was over there
must have been one at least, of the
race of inquirers who had his curiosi
ty satisfied.
A Worthy Example.
We know a lady in this city, wild
although her husband commands a
good salary, does her own cooking
and household work —in fact all home
work except washing and scouring.
She does this of her own volition for
the purpose of economy and with the
desire to aid her husband in the
struggle of life. She was once the
daughter of one of the well-to-do citi
zens of Columbus, and unlike many
others of this class she does not sit
down to repine over the change in her
condition, but works with cheerful
courage for present gain and .future
happiness. She is setting a noble ex
ample for her sisters of this down
trodden and impoverished laud, and
one which all should strive to emu
late. With such a spirit on the part
of Southern women, prosperity will
again return to our waste places, and
peace and happiness to our homes.
God 1 less cur noble women, who, ac
cepting the situation, labor with head,
heart and hand to build up and re
store our ancient prosperity and
greatness. •-
The men, seeing such a self-sacri
ficing spirit on the part of their wives
and daughters, will take fresh cour
age in the conflict with poverty, and
roon the South will be herself again.
Columbus Enquirer.
ASS'” An Irishman, swearing the
peace against his three sons, thus con
cluded his affidavit: “And this depo
nent further saith that the only one
of his children who showed him any
real filial affection was this youngest
sou, Larry, for he never struck him
when he was down.”
B@“‘ Motner,” said a little urchin
when ho came home, “I have seen
such a smart preacher. He stamped
and made such'a noise, and theu he
got mad; he shook his fist at the
folks and there wasn’t anybody dared
go up and fight him.”
Particularly So. —“Douglas, dear,”
said a wife appealing to her husband
in a small feminine dispute, “do you
think I am generally bad tempered ?"
