Mistake of Printers.

Some people are continually wondering at
the .carelessness of the editors in allowing SO
many errors and blunders to appear in their
columns. and mar the print. Such people
know verv little Of the difiiculties--we had
ters, will not prevent errors from creeping IN
even when professional proof readers are en-
jagged for the purpose. And when it is borne
is in mind that in most papers such an expense
necessarily dispensed with. and the proofs
on that account are hurriedly examined. the
fact will no longer appear strange. In con
nection with this subject the following
anecdote may not be inappropriate.
a Glasgow publishing house attempted to
publish a work that should be perfect speei-
men Of topographic al accuracy. After hav-
ing been read by six experienced proof read
ers, it was posted up in the hall of the Univer-
sity, and a reward of ESQ offered to any
person who would detect an error. Each
page remained two weeks in this place, and
vet when the book was issued. several errors
were discovered, one of which was IN the
first line of the first pagel

ScARC1ry IN IowA-A correspondent of
the keokuk Gate City, under date of Des
Moines, Iowa, May 9th. writes:
1.-The scarcity Of grain and all kinds of
feed for man and beast, between keokuk and
this place. is much greater than Is generally
supposed After leaving Keokuk It is scarce
" possible to find hay or straw for horses at
any of the hotels. and by the time this city
IS reached one will have ceased even enquir-
inc for these articles, so necessary for the COM
fort Of stock. at Eddyville corn could be
found at 81 and 81 25 per bushel, and as
teams profitable haul from that P ace to this,
the prices here are not SO much to be wonder
ed at. Here corn is considered cheap at 50.
and can scarcely be had at that. heard OF
a man selling to day small quantity at 50 IS.
and it is reported that So is the regular price
in many places between here and Council
Bluffs. The grass is commencing to look
quite green on the prairies, but dead horses
and cattle along the road have been ordinary
sights. Wheat seems to be nearly rs scarce
as corn and hay. Flour is selling at - and
/ s5 50 per hundred, and prospect of further
advance in prices.

SIGNATURE OF THE CRoss.-The mark which

SIGNATURE OF THE CRoss.-The mark which
persons who are unable to write are required
to make einstead of their signature, is in the
form of a cross (t); and this practice having
formerly been followed by kings aud mobiles,
is constantly referred to as an instance of the
deplorable ignorance of ancient times. This
signature is not. however, invariably a proof
of such ignorance; anciently, the use of this
mark was not confined to illiterate persons;
for amongst the Saxons the mark of the cross
as an attestation of the good faith of persons
signing, was required to be attached to the
signature of those who could write, as we'll as
to stand in the place of the signature Of those
who could not write.
In these times, if man could write, or
even read. his knowledge was considered
proof presumptive that he was in holy orders
The word cler1ouS or clerk, was synonymous
with penman: and the laity, or people who
are not clerks, did not feel any urgent necessity
for the use of letters. The ancient use Of the
cross was, theref fore, universal. alike by those
and T generally, The mark On this account,
the editor of the Pictorial Shakespeare ex-
plains the expression of"God save the mark,
as a form of ejaculation approaching to the
character of an oath.
