The Mystery of Punctuation.
An old eomppsitor tells this anecdote in a
New England paper:
-. We remember, a number of years ago,
when We were at work in a book. Office hear
Boston, the copy was received for scientific
work. The copy was manuscript, with ev-
cry letter well formed, every capital in its
proper place, every word distinct, and pane
tuated 1t was plain as reprint, and called
| by the compositors the best manuscript copy
they had seen. The copy was given out to
the compositors few pages at q time, who
set it up and punctuated it as they had been
| in the habit of doing, each as he thought the
| sense required. The proof reader read the
| proofs, marked few changes ia the pune
| tsatlon, as he did in most Of the proofs, and
| the matter was corrected. Another proof
was taken aud corrected, and when thirty or
| forty pages were ready they were sent TO the
author for his inspection. In few days the
proofs came back, with the punctuation free,
ly marked, 1t was corrected, of course, and
the compositors then got orders to follow
copy in punctuation They did so, and an
other lot was forwaTded TO the author, pune.
tuated exactly according to copy. In due
time these proofs came back, and with the
punctuation marked more than before, il
that were possible. This irritated the proof
reader somewhat, and he sent the scientific
author a not very polite note, saying: "lf ]
| can't punctuate this work to suit you, and
| Yeu cant punctuate it to suit yourself, what
are You going to do?' In reply, the author
! said be wasn't aware that he was correcting
the Office punctuation, but if the proof,read
| er would see TO the punctuation he would be
| greatly obliged, as it was something he knew
nothing about. After this there was nc
more trouble about punctuation on that
| work

RADICAL INSULTS 70 UNION SOLDIERS.


The radical newspapers, the little Rim
Union, among the number, in their rage at
the fact that single, unarmed federal SOL
der is carrying the United States flag
throughout the southern states, and every
where the soldier and the flag received with
the greatest enthusiasm by the people, now
say that there was no bet! And then they
fall to abusing the soldier. They say The
is a young and worthless sort of a fellow,
and a violent democrat" that "during the
war he was q member of an artillery com
pany stationed at Washington, but was never
engaged in any battle, and saw no service
more serious than drawing his rations and
spending his pay about the capital" OF
course he is of mo account if he don't vote
the radical niger ticket No soldier in the
United States was ever known to be any
thing but "a worthless comprehend aud trail
tor" if he didn't vote the radical niger tick
ct, And if he does vote the radical n;grer
ticket, he's the bravest most patriotic and
glorious fellow that ever lived That's the
radical style. But what of it Sergeant
Bates has carried the flag, all through the
south, hasn't he The flag has been hon
ored everywhere he has gone, hasn't it?-
And thus the radical ISLANDERS of the people
ofthe south have been disproved, haven
they? That's what's the matter. Whether
there was betor not, or whether the sol.
der is ''young" and worthless, MS of no aort
of consequence. 1t is the carrying of fhe
flag all through the south, alone, unarmed,
without cent Of money, and by a Union
soldier; and the flag and the soldier every.
where treated with kindness aud respect
That's what's the matter.

allied except by some of the deeds of cur own

going quietly from their doors to their car

Of friends, is piece of interference below
