I Then there is tho correspondent, here
I to-day, there to-morrow, and somewhere
else all the rest of the time. With his
! eyes open he has it in his power to know
everything knowable—in a superficial
j way. He meets the great men of the
country and the little ones, and is
| known to them by name and sight. Ho
j is always welcomed, because ho has it
| in his power to serve. If he were to bo
i stricken blind, or with paralysis, or bo
i laid up beyond tho possibility of con
| valesconco and recuperation, they
1 would sec him in Hades before
j they would put their hands in
I their pockets to the extent of
! $1 for him or his. Correspondents, by
tho way are divided into sundry
; classes. Some men have noses for
i news and nothing else. They scent an
: item from afar. Others are enterpris
ing in the last degree. They not only
know a good thing when they seo it,
but they see it before anybody else is
aware of its existence and understand
I bow to ultilize it fur the benefit of their
j employers. There are gossip writers,
j men who know nothing except stories
I about this, that and the other man or
woman. If the gossip can have an un
pleasant flavor to it, all the bettor.
