Selections for Nes.pa prr..

Most persons think the selection of suit
able matter for a newspaper the easiest part
of the business. How great an error 1t
is by all means the mos, difficult. To look
over and over hundreds Of exchange papers
every week from which to select enough for
one, especially when the question is. not
what shall, but what shall not be selected,
is indeed ''no easy task" IL every person
who reads newspaper, could have edited
it, we should hear less complaints. Not
unfrequently is it the case that an editor
looks over all his exchanges for something
interesting, and can absolutely find nothing.
Every paper is dryer than a contribution
box and yet something must be had-his
paper must have something in it, and he
does the best he can To an editor who
has the least care about what he selects, the
writing that he does is the easiest part of his
labUr. A paper when completed should be
one that the editor would be willing to read
to his wife, his mother, his sister, or his
daughter; and if he do that, if he get such
a paper, he will find his labor most diff
ficult one. Every subscriber thinks the pa.
per is printed for his especial benefit, and il
there is nothing in it that suits him it must
be stopped, it is good for nothing. Some
people look over the deaths and marriages,
and actually complain of the editor, if but
few people in the vicinity have been 30 un
fortunate as to die, or so fortunate as to gel
married the previous week. An editor
should have such things in his paper wheth
er they occur or not Jus, rs many sub
scribers as an edit or ma, have just so many
different tastes he has TO consult. One
wants stories and poetry; another alb
hors all this. The politician wants moth
ing but politics. One must have something
sound. One likes anecdotes, fun and frol
ic, and next door neighbor wonders that
man of sense will put such stuff in his pa
per. Something spicy comes out and thu
editor is BLACKBOARD. Next comes some
thing argumentative, and the editor is dull
fool. And so between them all, you sc,
the poor fellow gets roughly handled. Ant
yet, to nincty-nine out Of a hundred, thes
things never occur. They never re
feet that what does not please them, ma,
please the next man, but they insist that
the paper does not suit them. it is good 70
nothing.

Ii appears, then, that. inste,d Of having '.this
ordinance under elaboration and revision for
three years and six months, in nee days it was
passed through all the forms Of legslation-the
reference, the action of the committee, the re-
port, the three several readings. the disc ussion
and amendment by Congress, and the final
passage.
On the 18th of July, as above stated Mr.
Dane offered the following amendment, which
was adopted the sixth of the articles of the
compact:
Article the SiIfh There shall be neither
slavery nor involuntary servi.ude in the said
territory, otherwise than in the punishment Of
crimes whereof the party shall have been duly
convicted Prorided alrrass, That any per-
son escaping into the same. from whom labor or
service is claimed in any of he original States,
such fugitive may be lawfully reclaimed and
conveyed 10 the person claiming his or her labor
or service, rs aforesaid"
This had, in part, been presented by Mr. JEFF
ferson in 1884, and again by Mr. King in I7s5.
The assertion that this clause, ''as il now exists
in the ordinance" was proposed and carried BY
Mr. King, when neither jefferson nor Dane was
present" is singularly incorrect. In the propo-
si'ion submitted by Mr. hing in 1858, (Which
was never afterwards called up in Congress, J
there was no provision for retaining fugi,ives;
and without such provision il could no, have
been carried at all; besides, the clause, las i,
now exists in the ordinance" was proposed by
Mr. Dane on the 18th Of July, I1c1, and carried
by the unanimous vote of Congress when Mr.
Ming was not present
Mr. hing was a member Of the Convention
for framing the Federal Constitution. lie Wa,
present and voted in the Convention on the l2th
July, 1851. The whole of that day was occu.
pied in settling the proportion of representa,io
and direct taxation, which was then determined
az II now STANDS IN the CVnstiiuuon, va. by
adding to the whole number Of free persons, in
years, and excluding Indians, not taxed. three
fhhs Of all other persons.
The Congress and the Convention were boti
in session at the same time in Philade phia
There was OF course free intercourse and inter
change of opinion between the members of tn,
two bodies. To this may be attributed the adop
ton on the same day of the clause in the ord
nance and the clause in the Constitution.
The accompanying copy of the ordinanc,
shows the amendments made in Congress on thu
18th of July to Mr.. Carrington's report of thu
ll,h. All that was struck out is printed il
italics. what was inserted is in SMALL CAPITALS
The reader Oh comparing this with the plans pre-
viously reported by Mr.. Jefferson and by Mr.
Johnson, will see that most Of the principles OF
which ..its wisdom and fame rests were frs
presented by Mr.. Darlington.

he who thinks Tor himself, is something OF q
genius, and his talents OF high order. Is

A man who has enemies need not relay

Kaecs Of ap.ve....s. .p.. Health.


The causes Of disease, which are bens
investigated 50 extensively at the presen
time, are sometimes traced to the most re
mole origin. Ii would enter the minds O
lew that pavements. which are constructed
merely Tor the convenience Of transit in
crowded cities. are preventives to i'll health
but such has recently been proved. The
corporation Of Liverpool having recently
paved the courts and alleys of that town, il
it has been observed that the health of the
people residing in them has wonderfully i'm
proved, and that deaths were less frequent.
This led to further inquiry, and attention
was directed to six of the worst courts in
Liverpool. OF them Mr.. Carr, Of the
southern dispensary, remarks that they were
formerly so VIGOROUSLY unhealthy that the
medical attendant was hardly ever out of
them, and when any epidemics visited the
town these places exhibited their results in
perfection the surface being in most dis
graceful state, covered to some depth with
putrid mud, so that the inhabitants were
compelled to place large stones at intervals
to enable them to reach their houses by step
ping from one to another. Ii also stated
by MIR. Samuel Holme that in Freemason' s
row he found about two years ago court
Of houses, the floors Of which wero below
the public street, and the area of the whole
court was floating mass Of purified ami
NAL and vegetable matter, so dreadfully Of
fensive that he was obliged to make pre-.
ciptate retreat; yet the whole Of the houses
were inhabited. Since these sinks Of insa
lubrity have been paved the change in the
health Of the inhabitants has been more re-
markable than what may have been antici-
pated. In one place, (Bridport COURT
which contains eighteen houses, the cases Of
sickness were eighteen before to four after
the flags were laid down. In another alley
Oak COURT the proportion is five cases now
10 twenty-eight in former years; and, so far
as observation has been extended, which it
has been to fifty-seven of the houses, the
fronts of which have been paved, to eighty
five cases Of sickness which occurred be-
fore paving, only sixteen have taken place
since. The obvious effects of smoothing
causeways, by means Of flags or other pa
wing materials, is to do away with such inc
qualities as form receptacles for the stag
nant water left by rain, and the Ofals OF
food with which the poor are apt to strew
the fronts Of their residences The malaria
thus produced is productive OF agues and
other painful and fatal diseases II is there
fore the duty of all official persons who
have the charge of these matters in towns,
not only TO see that their streets are well
paved for the convenience Of pedestrians,
but for the health of the public.-Chdm-
bers Edinburg Journal.
