The transposition ofa comma has before
caused many a nervous author to swear and
break things aud no wonder, for one comma
out of place will sometimes change the
meaning of an entire sentence. The i'm
portance of placing punctuation ma rks in
their proper places will readily be seen by
the following examples of mispuuctuation.

Gas Consumers in England.

A late English journal states that the frauds
which are practiced upon gas consumers have
at length reached such a height and excited
such general indignation as to have led to an
application for Parliamentary relief. Notice
has been given that bill will be asked for,
providing for the appoin tment of an Inspector
of Gas. In England, as in this country, says
the Baltimore Exchange, the measurement of
gas is entirely i'll the hands of the companies
that manufacture and sell ii. The consumer
has no evidence of the amount of gas con-
sumed, except the word of the company
There is no measure of gas except that which
the company furIishes-its own meter, with
the practical operation of which interest the
great body of consumers are entirely unac-
quainted. The results of this state of things
in England have led to the remedy which is
about to be adopted by Parliament the estao-
lishment by law of a standard meter of gas,
and competent and honest iEspec tors appoint
ed to enforce the law. 1t is also urged that
there should be an inspection of the gas also
as we'll as of the meter, for, granting the meter
to be all right, it is well known that an infe-
rior and impure gas will register 4 greater
number of feet in The same time than a purer
quality. 1t is said that the evil which has
reached such heightin England as to demand
the interposition of Parliament has caused
great complaint against gas companies in this
country, and that here, as well as there, some
efficient measure of relief is demanded.

Wool Growing and Editing

Within a few years extensive experiments
have been made in Texas in sheep raising, and
the principal pioneer in the business is gen.
tleman who was formerly prominent men,
Der of the press, GEORGE w. KENDALL, ESQ.
formerly editor of the New Orleans Pieavupe.
Under his auspices, wool growing has become
an important item in the agricultural inter-
ests of Texas. 1t is now said that he has
pushed his experiments up TO that point
where he is able TO proclaim the fact that the
western plains of Texas constitute the first
wool growing region in the United States
The success OF MR. kENDALL's wool rancho
has caused others to embark in the same bust
ness, and it is now claimed that the South is
as we'll adapted to the cultivation of wool as
cotton.
We are glad to see Mr.. KENDALL so tortu-
nate in the character of the gentle shepherd ~
II is a charming picture to con template, that
of retired editor carrying the crook instead
OF the pen, and leading forth his flock in green
pastures and beside still waters. Wool grow
ing is business in which editors ought TO
succeed, for wool is the staple of most of their
editorial disquisitions. II they could bestow
half the labor upon the American article that
they do upon the African, they would make
their fortunes.
