AN EDITOR IN HEAvEN,-Under the above
caption an exchange gives long obituary
notice of a deceased brother editor. The
following is the closing paragraph;
SHOULD we not then rejoice that our late
friend of the scissors and quill is in heaven?
In <hat paradise the cry of more copy will
never again fall upon his distracted ears.
There his enjoyments will no more be inter
rupted by the growls of the unreasonable
subscriber, or the duns of the paper maker,
There he will enjoy entire freedom from the
attractions and Misrepresentation of political
opponents, and the caresses of ambitious
political aspGants In that blest abode he
is no more to be troubled with illegible
manuscript or abominable poetry. No rival
editors will there steal his thunder, or his
items; and typographical errors shall know
him no more forever

THE RoDMAN GUN.-All Americans, and
especially all Rock Islanders, will read the
following telegram with pride and pleasure:
"LoNDoN, July 25.-By orders of the British
office, trial of American I5-inch Rodman
guns was held to-day, in the presence of num-
Der of naval and military officers and experts. 1t
was provided by the tests to which the gun was
submitted that no iron or steel armor, yet invent
ed is capable of resisting its prejectile.'
This, of course, as all our people know, is
the celebrated gun invented by Gen. T. j.
Rodman, Commandment at Rock Island
Armory and Arsenal. 1t is quite likely that
the testwasa severe as British ingenuity could
devise, and the award given only upon the
most conclusive evidence. This makes it
all the more satisfactory to Gen. Rodman as
well as to all Americans.

printed at the expense of the people and dis
tributed by the thousand. 1t contains the
usual tables of school statistics, together
with essays and recommendations from Mr..
Superintendent Bateman also reports from
the various county superintendent, among
which we notice sharp report of two pages,
from Mr.. Gest, in which he pretty effectual-
ly exp1odes the farce of Teachers Insti-

The book also contains short letters from
Mr. Gest, and James M. Cow, of this city,
commencing the Normal University, and a
more lengthy letter from Gep. Mixter, of this

WRIrTNG AnyERrIsMENTs.-To write
good advertisement requires skill, intelligence
and tact. 1t is more difficult than to com
pose general articles for publication, and
this is now beginning to be understood.
In commenting on the fowery style of The
real estate column, in a Boston paper, the N.
Y. Gazette very truly remarks that I'VE may
laugh ct this schooiboy style of composition,
but it makes the advertisements less dull
than deseriptienseef real estate usually are,
and the sagacious auctoneer will undoubtedly
effect better bargains thereby. There is no
reason, except lack Of industry and wit, why
advertisements are not intrinsicaliy attractive.
Ifa man has a style Of hat which hee. thinks
low.priced and wants to introduce, it is not
sufficient to scream throngh the newspapers,
"a, Tile, have hats for three dollars each >"
he must compel attention, lay pitfalls of es.
say, story, poetry, and news. atlthe bottom Of
which the nnwary reader who has stumbled
in finds hatwhieh he cannot escape buying.
Advertising is not simply to tell people who
wants hats where to find them, but to make
them want hats, or think they do. The time
may come when the advertisements Of a
vigorous newspaperw will rival in interest the
editorials and the news columns, and then
advertisers will only wonder that they never
found ontthe way before ~ q

ALI. GETTING WFLL.-All the persons in

are improving and bid fair to be soon as
well as ever. Mrs. Bushnell, of Munson,
who has been at the Rodman House since
the accident, left for home yesterday tthe
26th) with several members Of her family
who have been stopping with and nursing
her. All the bills were paid by the railroad
company.
Every effort has been used by the railroad
company to make the sufferers comfortable,
and all bills for boarding, nursing, and doc
toring promptly paid by the company.

Mrs. Jos. Kits, who was injured at the rail-
way accident at Green River, ILL.,, had previous
ly bought ticket in the Railway Passengers
Insurance company, paying S1.257a week for it.
She is now in receipt of $25 week which win
continue for twenty six weeks, probably, the lin
it of the policy, footing up to $3.50. Should she
die her husband will receive $4,000.

les, commanding Military District No.
2, embracing North aud South Carolina,
has issued orders under date of Charles
ton, s. c., April 18th, setting forth that
the destitution prevailing among tho
people of the district, renders necessary
for their relief the adoption of extraOr-
binary measures. He therefore orders
that no person shall be imprisoned for
debt except on conviction of fraud; that
Judgment or decree for the, payment OF
money on suits of action arising be-
tween December 10Th, 1860 and May
18th, 1865, shall not be enforced by exc
cution against the property or the per
son of the defendant; that Sheriffs, cor
oners aud constables shall suspend for
IL months sales of property on liabili-
ties contracted prior to December 10Th,

shall be reserved to defendants having
families depending upon them, imple-
ments of husbandry, household goods,
ETC., to the value of $500, and that the
property of absent debtors shall not be
taken. ~.
The order also prohibits the practice
of carrying deadly weapons, except Off
GERS and soldiers, and makes an offender
amenable to trial and punishment by
military commission. The punishment
of death in certain cases of burglary and
larceny is abolished, and authority is
given the Governors of North and South
Carolina to repreive or pardon persons
convicted and sentenced by courts and
remit fines by penalties.
