-UNDER the above caption the Journalist, In a recent issue, devotes a page to the discussion of the Detroit Free Press and its methods. The article maintains that the paper in question has never been quoted by reason of any enterprise rivals, it has shown subsisted in getting solely news the fact that it emahead of its but has upon ploys a man to furnish it with funny stories; consideration and it adds with more veracity than "'the stories are not always funny." It althat Judes to the decadence of the Free Press and creates the impression that it is rapidly dying of its persistent effort to be funny. The world has not been waiting with breathfor a new publication to thrust less expectation head, and communicate the fact that the up its humorous efforts of the paper mentioned are frequently abortive. That has long to its been columns; apparper to those who have had access that the Free Press is not alone in its ghastly atto be amusing, is a fact that is even more and it must be clear to every one that tempt obtrusive; has given the matter even superficial considera- headtion that the Journalist, in its has epitomized with consummate line, brevity the bane of its generation. seems to be a universal eruption of the There idea." It has broken out in journalism, the drama, even the pulpit succumbs to the pesand society is infected with a mild form tilence, of it in the young man who must needs perpetrate a on every word that is uttered in his pun hearing, until the few who are not yet stricken about haggard and weary, praying for deafgo ness.

Scarce a newspaper in the country but has its alleged funny column with which to cast a sepulchral gloom over the community when there is sadder chronicle, which is seldom. no Season after season the superhuman: endurance of an audience is strained to its utmost tension by the so-called comedies that bear down it, with their in the shape of the upon eternal old maid with the tional simper and corkscrew curls, dude and an untamable female, slangy dialogue, and stock of hoary, limping jokes that were mustered out of service on count of their decrepitude at least three generations ago. Eren an opera must be liberally Interspersed with stale conundrums and local gags before it is considered fit for presentation, and by the time the world is done commenting on Abbott's interpolation of Me, Oh Thou Great Jehovah," during the garden scene in we shall no. doubt have some one introducing and "Johnny, Fill Up the Bowl," in the prison scene of Trovatore," to relieve the effect of the Miserere. For these there is at least the excuse that they are paid for their atrocities; but for that other visitation of Providence, the young man of reputed wit, there is no palliation.

When he is called to account for the deeds done in the body, he will have nothing to offer in extenua. tion that will not magnify his offense in the eyes of 'an impartial Judge. Having in some mysterious way acquired a reputation for saying bright things, he feels it incumbent upon him to maintain his flattering distinction at any cost to his associates. The result is that you would rather meet your most unreasonable creditor than your friend, for you feel his effort to be witty without being in the least amused, and you are weighed upon by an unutterable depression at the spectacle of abortive effort, and the consciousness that you must either outrage his reputation or your own common sense. The infliction would be forever unpardonable but for the fact that the offender, while seeming to caper nimbly in advance of the procession, is really dragging the weight of the penalty.

There is no surer boomerang than reputation for wit. The moment man is labeled and tossed as a toy to "the man who he is doomed. There is no scheme of redemption under heaven or among men that covers his case. Mark Twain admits that he has suffered more from the people who expected his conversation to bristle with jokes than from any six evils that have harassed his career, and a Congressman who made himself tamous by a funny the House, confessed afterwards to a friend that it practically destroyed his usefulness as a Representative. That whenever be arose to make serious speech the members looked bored, and utterly refused to listen.

When he called humor to his aid they listened and applauded, but seemed to think his sole object was to be entertaining, and ignored him when they came to vote. It has been demonstrated that humor as means is singularly felicitous and effective. It Is frequently more patent than argument, more irresistible than the most impassioned eloquence. The humor that is intrinsic, that is evolved naturally from a situation; that illustrates a principle, unmasks an absurdity, or stabs a theory, is always acceptable, may even be delightful, though it prick one's favorite bubble; but as an end it is elusive and impossible, and the attempt to be funny, for fun's sake simply, is fatal. Fancy a man taking a- contract to be "funny" every day, irrespective of the condition of his digestion or exchequer; when an unpaid tailor may harass him to the verge of lunacy; an undigested mutton chop may plunge him into a fit of melancholy from which it may take days to recover.

The entire range of human vicissitude presents no spectacle of deeper pathos. For such rashness there is, and should be, no alternative but failure. In the language of the preacher, one event happeneth to all. An idea comes to a man unsought. He perpetrates his first joke gratuitously, and without the slightest premonition that he is lighting the fuse, that is to blast his own peace.

The world laughs; he likes the sound and proceeds to tickle it again, this time riot so easily or successfully. but to some ex tent, however. By the time he has repeated his amusing experiment once or twice some paper spies him out, offers him a salary and stakes off a quantity of He falls into the pit and there "spins, toiling out his own cocoon. For a time he is diverting: anon he is humorist only in reputation; ultimately his efforts become Infinitely more funereal and depressing than an amateur obituary notice, and he sinks out of recognition by reason of his own heaviness. Witness, the Club, Boy," the Youth" and the nameless, but irrepressible, vaporings of lesser instances.
