The Iumorous Phases of Amateur Journalism, T the Edlior of The Tribuna. Cnicaao, June 9.—FPropably many of the readirs of this artlcle have at some time been nequalnted with & youthful arpirant for literary ad editorfal honora, hut few are wware of the real extent of this almost exelusively Amer- \cantsm, Amateur Journnllam. Wabster says an amatenr 18 & person who follows any purault from fnclination, and not as a profession, but the definition s heen so perverted us to apply In this case almost exclusively to boys journal- fsm, and it s of this that I wish tube understood 18 epeaklng. Notwlthstanding nll researches, the name of thie gentus who originated Amateur Journalism wannot be discovered, and the eonclusion must sethat it 18 a result of education, snd, like Topsey, it “growed,” The earliest effort of which there §s any rellable Information was the Partfolio, s weekly paper of four pages, pub- sshed ot Philadelphia in 1812, It was edited by homas Cundie, a boy only 14 years old, and, lic others of the sumo class whoso fame hns leseended to pdsterity, was devoted principally w0 family and local matters. Of the next paper vhich has been eelebrated by a surviving notlee, fsmes T, Fields makes the followlug remark in ils essay on Hawthorne: On the 21at of August, 1820, No. 1of the Spec- ‘ator, edited by N, Unthorne, nppeared. A pros- sectuy wis ismued tho week before, setting forth hat the puper would he published on Wednesdays, Wprlce 12 centy per Runiun, payment to be mude tthe end of the year.," Among the adverilse- nents wan the following, which miay prove fnter- 1ating to the nuthor's admirers: “+Nathanle) Jinthorne praposea to puhlish by sub; reription a now edftion of the *Miseries of Anthors,’ o whieh wiil bi added a requel containlug facts sud temarks drawn from his own cxperlence,” Like most of Its succeadors, the Spectalor was sery short lived, only six numbers being pub- fshed, After tho suspension of the Spectator, there ¥as a perlod of alinost forty years fo which no aper of any note appeared, but fn 1858 the Coos Herald, of Lancnster, N.

They sprang into existence ut_the sume thne througn the New Englawd and Western States, and at the beginning of 1870 over fifty papuers were published, ranging In slze from o two-dneh monthly to sixteen and thirty-two weeklics, TIHL MANIA FOR EDITING had falrly sclzed Young Amcerlen in 1870, and there were probibly 200 papers isued betieen this date and the litter part of 1872, when the cllmax was renched, there belng o December of that year uver 150 aiiferent publieation Froni the first, these boys' papers were litep- ary {n their tane, and 8o they have continued, thouzh sonie slight attempts have been made to publlsh strictly newspapers, But ns smateur papera are ostensibly contributed to by boys, and depend upon this class of readers for sup- port, the fden hoa not been enthusinstically re- wlved, During the flyst flve years, or until 1574, the contents of wmatenr’ pn{wra usually combrised & puem, u highly sensatfonn) Indiain ferfnl, evolved from the Inner consclousness of some imaginary youth of dime-novel proclivi- ties, o few cditorinls, n column of * Amateur News,” In_ which wus recorded the suspensions, consulidatlons, ete., of the contemporateous shicets, und, sud to relate, the column was usu- ally well filled, Next, but vot least FIOM A PINANCIAL POINT OF VIEW, was the advertising spaee, generally occupying the Just pagge.

These sheets are usually four pages, and the publisher who ducs not fiit the whole of the last page with paying adver- tlsements smust be regarded with Bus- pidon by the subscribing public.

Delegates are clected by each Aiou- teur Press Assocltion, aud the Conigress sclects it own_offleers, the presiding ofllelal being styled President of the United States Amateur Tress Congress, The uriginutor of this plun was nlso the alvocate, through bls paper, the Cornucopia, of boy’s sullrage, which he discuss- el 8o ably as to attract editorlal notlee n several of the New York dailles. He held that boys of 18 were competent, under the restric- tong of an educatlonal condition, to have the clective franchise, and the question was dlscuss- wd with g moderation, yet showing that HUMONOUS FIIASES OF AMATEUR JOURNALISM Is tne frequent quarrels arlsing between the Itora of the different papers, some of the combatants [n these quilly contests displaylng that remarkable power of strong invective which e tho New Yotk Tribune so spley wuder Toruee Greeley's administration, and 8o using it s to excite i general commiotion, Probaliy the bieat known, as well as the most dlxgrneodul of theso quarrels, wus the so-called San Franciseo war, wlhich oveurred In 1874, During that year a number of large papers were published i California, aud some editoriul changes enusing offense to uno or two youthful quill-drivers opened the ball. In o few mnonths all the Culifornin amateurs werg concerned In the mntter, and several emall anonymous sheets appeared, filled with the lowest and vilest vituperation. Several personnl assanlts were mnde by Irnte editors, and the matter was fimly ended by Louls 11 Lichenstien, an in- Jured party, it scems, causig the amest of thiree prominent amateurs on o charge of 1ihel. Thu case was tried before the United States Court, but the whole affalr was so utterly ridie- ulons that it was dismissed without judigment. The San Franclseo dally papers gave extended arcounts of the trinl, and some editorial re- marks were made to the effect that thess boy- ish troubles should be settled by the particl- pants’ mothers, and not the Court, The affair Was sfncerely rogretted, as 1t scrved to slow awnteur journalism to the public in a false Hieht, and one entlrely forelign to its gencral cunduct. The controyersy between Religion and Science is the latest subject the amatour editor hus undertaken to clucidate, and n number of the most advanced thinkers, youths wlsoe pa- pers do not eviuee any evidénce of the pro- Tuudity of their intetiectual culture, will und ure discussing the subject. This * EGOTISTICAL ASSUMITION may be Justly attributed to the miscellaneous treatment thie Lople hus of (ate recelved in the professfonul press, und not to u nutural pre- sumption of the disputants. The discussion had 1ts rlse fn an editorial by a Miuncapolls edi- tor, speaking of several amiteurs of Wilming- ton, Del,, us “Jesus bitten,” ete,, and declar- fog'that the people of the Weat had discarded that ridienlons tissue of falschoods known as the Bible, Of course this remark was ruther warinly commented on by the fricuds of the purtles asafled, and Intely the wuthor of the abuve sentiment hus fssned s paper numed the Hationatist, In which urticles intended to refute the pupular notions of the *Superhumanity of Christ? and “Adam not the first man'® ao- cupy a promiuent place. It Is not probable, however, that a general dispute will arise on the subject, »s the majority of amuteurs condemn the presumption {n pretenslons to knowleilge su much heyond the capacity of the disputants. Another,”and probably the greatest contro- versy that has excited the youthrul editor, Is THE BO-CALLED POLITICAL WAI, which has raged with an extreme bitterness that can only be compared with the style of the ploneer Journatists of Atuerica. ‘This disputu- tlun reached ita greatest Intensity during the campnign of 18D when cvery paper cither ar- for or ugainst the admission of the scussfon of politles In nmateur pape The journals ~ advocating the proprie Of the ‘subject gave a practienl argument b{, placing the numes of the editors’ favorite candl- dates ot the head of thelr editorlul columns, while the opponents howled with indiznation, lnented the “‘degencracy™ of amateur jour- nalism, and nsserted the “unsultabllity of the subject to literary pupers, This lnst srgument seemed Lo bo the most welghty, though the probabllity Is that the discnssfon will bo con- tinued a8 long as an wbsorbing interest in politics anfwates the Amerlean F\:npln, and re- ceives fta present attention {u the professional press, } Auother form fn which amateur journalism {3 reprevented s the publication of books, and there are o few very creditablo speclmens of boys' wurk among, the volumes which have appeared within “the past three years. ‘These books, of which there have been ubout 250 published, range in slze from elght poges to 150, und comprise alt clsses of lterature, The renera] price §8 10 cents, but some purtieularly urge und fine ones have sold os high as $1. 1OOK I'UNLISHING s been redueed nore to a profeasional stand- url than editorial work, und thers are several compunles who make regular announcements of fortticoming publications, und work off us Jargy an cditiun as many of our popular books.

That fs to gay, about one-third of thelr patrons go away every day, and u fresh third take the places of the parting guests, 'The same {8 the cace ot the Trans-Cuntinentals in fact, the statements of the munagers of the twe houses nre almort {dentleal In the two points I have mentloned,—the amount of business, und o change of n thisd of the pat- ronuge cvery day. These hotels are direetly at the gates of the Exhibitlon, and are lirst-class in eversthing (prices included), so that they nay be taken as un fndex of the welltudo visitor's Atay. Of course, cach hotel hus many patrons who stay a inuch longer timej and, on the other hand, they cutertain many fiying travelers who can spare but. twenty-four hours, or even less time than that. But you may put it down as a rule, that a great mwany persons have determine ed that three days will be suflicient tor dolng the Exhibition; and, If they give thelr whole inds to it, they can certalnly see a great deal fn that time. 1 hove met several New-Yorkers who touk three days off from thelr business, left by un early traln Monday moruing, und re- turned by o late one on Wednesday afternoon, ‘They tovk supper in New York, slept with that sofndness which comes from much fatigue and u clear , onsclence, and went to busitiess on Thursdsy sanx peur el sans reproche. A RUN TO THE OMIENT, I huve already mentloued the rapldity with which one ean run from one country to unother in these Exhibition grounds, und that nsingle half hour mwy put you in South Africa, Spaln, Norway, Egypt, Tunls, the Sandwich Tstands, England, Japou, and & dozen other countries, without any disbursement of money. But, innll these eases, you could only ook about and see; und, If youare like many of our_countrymen, Jou would soll or spoil things by lanidling' them, or by puking with cane”or “umbretla. A new entertalnment has Deen offered recently by the opening of some Orlental cafes near the castern end ot the luke, and not fur from Machinery Hull. A Tunisfan cafe was opened o week ag, und a Turklsh one to-day : both of them attract many visiturs, and are guite o fenture of the Exhibitlon, At the “Tunfsian cafe you pay 25 conts ut the door, and are admitted to an oetangulur hall, with rush carpeting, und with divans extendlyg sround the edge of the apartment. A band “of Moor- fsh mugicians I8 kept lo constant opera- tion, nud some women, suppused to be Tunislan, and dressed [u the costume of that country, Indulge in o dunce @ la Maure. The music {3 low und monotonous, and rather Mrnn{:u ta an Occldental ear, while the daneing Is quite like that to which we are oceustomed fn Awmerics and Western Europe. The women Eglide about with a sort of undulating motion, which a Freneh danscuse would find very has to imitate, Nearly udl the motlon s below the walst, and 1t sumetimes takes the furm of n vio- lent wrggling of the Jower Limbs, while tho upper portion of the body fs stationary. The duucing here Is no better, aud no Worse, than one sees dn the eafea of Algiers or Tunls. In the Intter city 1 once witnessed a dance which had been n’sycchl")‘ arranged for a party of us, anl which hirew guite e shide angthmg { have seen hy 'he wowmen wers the pretticat that the city contained, and they dunced in o way that sliowed a periect knowledge of thy Terpsichorean art ns. it Is understoml by the Muoors, The coffee and the chzarcttes werd just Ike what one finds here, but we sat on wlide di- vuus, and reclined against beavy stone walls, ;lullke those we tind b the temporary structure heru. ORIENTAL COPFEE is a curiosity to the great majority of the visit- ors here, and it {8 amusing Lo observe them while drinking It. A small quantity of sugar i put in o small cup, and with It a “spoonful of treshly brulsed coffee. Hot water Is poured over thls, wnd the cup—which fs of brass or cupper— 15 placed on the fire, aud Rept theretill ftcomes tou boil, Tt 1s then ponred dnto the porceluin cup in which (t {s served to the curtomer, wind hie has It quite as hot ns he can possibly wish, 11 18 thivker and slronger than we ure accuston- ed to lave [t, und very often the bottom of the cup contains quite a quantity of sediment, ruch ns we denumiuate grounds.” Opinlons vary wnong those who drink coffee In the Ocfental estublishinents here, qulte us much us they do wmong travelers in the East, SOne, tourlst in Turkey, Syria, and Northern Rtred will pro- nounce coffee us the Arabs serve it deliclous fn the extreme, awd exhaust his vocabu- lary of superlutive adjectives in describing it} while another will declare it o disgusting mess, quite undit for i humun belng to_ swallow, For one, Inever grew very enthusiastic over the Arable preparation; 1did not consider It the finest thing I ever suw; but, on the other had, 1 did not disltke 1t; and as s proof of my lack of hatred, I drank muny and many & eup, and sonietimes a half-n-dozen of them In successlon, A great many people here will drink the orfental coffee from curlosity, but I don't thiuk uany of them will really be fond of {t. OUR TURKISI VISITONS are a gorgeous lut of fellows, considerably more so thun tho walters i the Orjental cales where the Turk §s seen at home, They understund thelr business n {;uu.lng themselves up thus pleturesquely, s they cateh the eyes of pussing travelers, and provoke a great deal of comment. Mast of them speak English, and ull aro uent in French, I spent halt an hour {o their divan this morning, and found that "wf' understood French more readily than Engllsh, nnd'll t they were quite ™ o3 much ot c fa ~ modern Greek ss in Turkish. The proprictor of the establishment cluima to have been cblef confectioner to his late Majesty, Sultan Abdul Aziz, aud he must have had a great deal to do when we remember the extent of the family of the deposed and de- purted mwonaretr. Whether his subordinates {n the cafe were subordinate confectloners or not, he has neglected to nfurm us; hut certuinly they may b been confectioners, Iif we may Judige by the sweotness of thoir looks. They ure very active, snd lew around the cafe with- out nacéident, though tho- place was full of prople, and mnny of the strangers seemed very perverse i getting o the way, They hud hard work to keep the yisitors out of thelr Hitle kitehen, and 1 balieve sutne of the latter would linvu earried the place off bodlly, If there had Leen uuy way of dolugso. Two ot us SMOKEL NARGILENS, or water-pipes, such as you sce in many Tuorkish pletures; uud we soon ‘drew & large “crowd of ppectators, who could not understand how it Wi that the smoke came out of our nottrils in- stead of out of our mouths, They guzed upun us with intense Intervst; und, o8 oic of the by- standers remarked how funny {t was, hls fricud propused to maku the smoke come from his eyes, ‘The verdant one dropped readlly Ito the trap, and was burned by the trick, which = has oy been known to the great mujority of smokers. ‘Uho nargilch 13 u comfurtabile thing for a smoker, us it ol l:uls thu amoko bo puss through water, and thus ccomu coul, It 8 robbed of much of fts nicating and other deloterious fugredients in fts passuge through the water; and sosuuch is thus tukes up that, after o sogle plpeful has been smoked, the water in the uargilel {s conshlern- bly tinged with yellow, The bubbling of the plpe isw soothing suund when there 1s nothing elsu to break §t, and I do not wonder that the Turk becomea very fond of thy nicotlan weed aud the cuju{muul that comes fromit. The other pipe which they glve ‘yuu ut the Turkish cafu 18 the ¢hlbook, which {s nothing mors than u cluy pipo with a stems 4 or 5 fest long, The stem cools the smoke to quite su extent; but thy plpe fs wwkward to hundle, und requires ruu’. whole uttention. And now let mo throw u somy HEFLECTIONS ON TOBACCO. The Oceldent uud the Orfent diiler very much, s do the pipes they suoke, Here we huve the pipe with u short steur, which one bolds between the tecth; und he does the smwe with the uigur, whether it Lo from Cuba, Cou pecticut, or Cabbage-Yard, The Orleutal plvy bas & long stem, and is very clumsy. To amoke 1t all, you must give your whole attention to it and not attempt to work, read, or do anything clse, You can do a great mang things while you are Amukhlg after our style; you may walk, work, read, wrife, play with the cat or the chil: dren, make love (st a distance), cheat your neighbora, peer through Keyholes, ride on horseback, or promenade home from church. But, with the Oriental pipe, you can do nothing of the sort. Yuu must sit or lledown; you tuat hold i In_your hand; aud, beyond ‘talk- o, you are quite up a stump for anything to do. "Rending and writing are out of ‘the ques- tion, with just a possibillty that you may read a 1t and knock our pipe and yoursell out of thne whenever you turn over ‘s lenf or shilt fromn one page to another of your newspaper, As for the other things T have mentloncd a8 compatible with the Occldental smoke, they are quite tabooed when you engage with th Orfrital pipe. Now, there s more of typlen) character about these pipes of two hemispheres than you would think ‘at first glance. Pause and reflect. The QOceldental subordinates his smoke to his em- ployments; the Oricntal subordinates his emn- ploymenta to hia smoke. The one is active, en- tic, progreasive; the other In indofent, slugeish, conservative. The one louks toa brilliant future for his eountry, while the other I8 content with the memories” of the past. To- baceo minfsters to the wants of the one; while It controls anid enervates the other. The Nise tory of the decline and fatl of the Turkish Em- pire wiil be weltten in o few years; the coming iibhon iy take tobaceo for his text, wid may Ree theoug its fuecy smoke, us it bubbles in tho nargileh or curlsupward from the chibuok, the power thut has brought about the decay of nonee great nation, May we_never follow in the foutsteps of Turkey! The watlon that Iengthens dts pipe-stun” comes o grief os surcly as do thuse lengthen their weapons, When the Greeks und Lo mans fourht —with the short sword, they were the bravest soldiers of the world; ut, when they sdopted the lance, thelr bravery beggan to_ooze away, [t was the lance that broueht Poland to grief; do we tot read In Childe Harold, or somewhere elae, that sho Dropped from her nerveless grasp the shattered kpear. Closed et bright eye, and wept her farcwell tear? ORIENTAL KPONGES. As many of us know, there are many varicties of sponges. Naturalists put the sponge in the animal Kingdom, and I think they ure right, as I'have known many spunges that walked und talked, wore clothes aud smuked cigurs, and took drinks (gencrally attheexpense of others), went to the tieatre, and did a great many other things finpossible, or at ony rate inconvenient, for wvegetuble, They belong to uo particular elling or country; I have met " them all over the world, but mtich oftener in citles than fn_ the rural districts. This sponge flourishes tincly in New Yurk, and T think that clty could turn out (and T wish it would turn them away out) at least tive thousand of him without sulfering or halt tryfng. Someenterprising Greeks from the Island of Cliln have come hure to sell sponges to those who want to buy; but happily the kind they deal {nare not thuse to which I have just re- ferreal. They bave erected a pavillon tiear the Turkish cafe, and are about_ready to open up their stack in trade. T talked with one of them a few days ugo, and learved that he was In the sponge business at home; and the lot he has on liand were secured by his brother aud himself, His brother remalusut Chio to send blm fresh supplies whenever wanted; and be hopes that the trade will be very large, He ought to be able to moake a grood “buriness, as lie can get a haudsome profit, ond even then undersell the drug-stures where we generully go to buy the article. In the ports of the Levant, [have bought sponges for my own use at_a fith or sixtli of what 1should pay iu New York, and even then Lave been over-taxed. THE SPONGE-PISHCIY 1s a curious business. The sponges grow in the rocky bays of the cowst of Aska Minor sud the Jislands that surround it, aud are se- cured by divers, who require long ex- Ilcrlcucl.‘ before they can make much )y their business. The diving-apparatus is ver: sfnple. The diver weurs a pleasant smile, avd rarcly unything clse, when he is ot work at his trade 3 and he carries o knife in his band to de- tach the sponge from the rock, He eclzes u &tone welghing 50 or 60 pounds, and attached to a cord which hangs from the side of a buat, Clinging to the cord, be allows the welght of the stone to carry him down; and when he has reuched the bottom, he releases bis hold, and the stone ts drawn up. Fere he looks around for the sponges, and if he inds any, he detaches as any a8 Yosslhlc, and rises to the surface with thin, e can only remain below as long as be can hold his breath. When o man first begins diving, be cannot remalu more thun hull saainute under water; but, by degrees, he vx- tends the time 8o thut he e hold his breuth two ur three minutes. Instanees of divers re- maining under water five or six minutes are re- ported; but they nre extremely rare. “hie sponges ure sprewd upoi the beach,where they undergo asort of putrefylng process; and they have to be washed soveral thues to free them from all substances except the peeuliar fibre that gives them their valie. The dealers say that the flne sand we always find v pe: sponges is left there by the actlon of the se but there is good reason to suppuse that It Is sifted fu in order that the sponge may be firmer and heavier. The articles are sold by weight; and T'sco no reason why they shouid not be sanded, Just like the sugur which plous Deacons in New England sell 16 thelr patrons fu gowd und regular standing in the Orthoedox Church, DELEGATER PROM JERUSALEM.

Thore g a preat varlety of czar and eard cages, work-buxes, pen-hoiders, Fupcn:ub ters, canes, albums, aud the like; aud the prices ure not at all unreasonable when compared with the cost of slmilar things at Sorreuto sud vthur places where the olive-wood industry prevails. Taere {3 always o crowd uround this place, and I understand that the bust- ness i3 prospering. It & o pity that there have been su fuw pennfesious to sell goods on the grounds; only n very small uminber has been Eranted, exeept for the dispasal of food, drink, und cigars, though thousauds of applications wero made for tiem. Had concessions to sell been granted, we should have hud many exhib- itors whom we now have not, especially in small articles which do not cost a great deul of mone AT VIESNA TOU COULD BUY ALMOST ANY- TUING, as the exhibitors had an arfangement by which they could dispose of duplicates of whatever they had Ju their cases. You can buy things here, it I true; but you must leave the artivies till the closy ol the Exhibition, aud either call for them, or have them sent. Comparatively few people want tg do business In this way and so the sales ure vuri' slow. Expensive artl- clus ure purchased; but it fs not so with the Jit- tle odds-and-ends thut aggregate heavily, nod muke trade brisk, Tt was perfectly casy to ur- range ut Vienna; but our Commiséton couldn't see it. Nobody wants to pay now for an article costing & dollir or two, ud have it delivered five or slx months henee, as the cost of obtaine ing it would be, in nine cuses vut of ten, Grmm:r than the origindl price T, W, ——— GUSTAVE DORE.

Nor wna he aufficlently elegant to charm ‘this thor- wueh Parisienne. ™ How can I ever marry a man who does nat know liow to put on his gloves!” she once exclaimed, when Dore was try- ing to furce his fingera into a particnlarly tighit aud refractury glove, So she rejected the artist and marrled s wealthy South dmerican, who was a8 jealous aaa tiger, and who tyraunized over her to such an extent that he even luter- fered with her dress, and would not sutfer h to wear crinpline at the time when it was ma in vogue, Finally, In a fit of really rguseless Jjealousy, he fired a pistol at her head With in- tent to kill ber, but the ball struck a heavy braid of hair whlch she wore coronct-wise, anil glanced off.
