HONOR TO THE SCIssoRs.-The NetOS-
paper Reporter says: Some people, ig
norant of what good editing is, imagine
the getting up of selected matter to be the
easiest work in the world to do, whereas it
is the incest work that is done on paper.
If they find the editor with scissors in
hand, they are sure to say, "Eh this is
the way you get up original matter, eh !"
accompanying their new and witty ques-
tions with an idiotic wink or smile. The
facts are. that the interest, the morality
the variety and usefulness of paper de-
pend, in no small degree, upon its selected
matter and few men are capable of the
position who would not themselves be able
to write many of the articles they select.
A sensible editor desires considerable Sc
lected matter, because he knows that one
mind cannot make so good paper as five
or six --- 800. as ellis. r

The Best Speaker.
From the Volksblatt. August 26.I


Among the many speakers who opened
the Republican canvass, on Thursday, the
palm undoubtedly belongs to General Gar
field. His speech was not merely the
pleading of political lawyer or mere
party follower, but the work of states
man and reformer. 1t is replete with
ideas, and gives proof of - political indie
pendence, such as we rarely witness now
a-days. By this speech General Garfield
has placed himself at the head of the pro-
gressive wing of the Republican party of
Ohio, and if he has the courage to pursue
the course he has adopted, an important
political future is yet before him.
The manliness with which General Gar
field avoids covering up or cloaking over
recognized evils lest the party machinery
should become embarrassed, is particu-
larly good sign. He sees that party, if it
would entitle itself to the confidence of
the people, must combat evils and boldly
meet new questions of principle, instead
of slurring over them in some general
phrases.

ImDOFtant Guests,

MESSRS EDITORS: [ have authority for
saying that Doctor YOos, talented MEM
Der of the Swiss Congress, and Consul
General Heitz of Washington City, ID. c.,
will visit Tennessee in ten or fifteen days.
The former has been officially invited by
His Excellency, Gov. Senter, and there
fore will be the honored guest ofthe State
I have authority, also, for saying that
they are alike pleased with Tennessee, and
that they are eXerting themselves to turn
the tide of immigration to our borders.
Doctor YoOs is the Bright of Switzerland,
and is struggling manfully, to lift up his
poor and down-trodden countrymen. Nor
is Gen Heitz whit behind him.
Now / would modestly suggest that due
preparations be made by our city authOri
ties and by our German population to pay
proper honors to these distinguished gen
tlemen upon their arrival in our city. Let
them by all means, be the honored guests
of our city; and to this end, let our City
Council, through its Mayor. invite them
to share our hospitality. In the mean
time let Turner Hall be thrown open by
our German friends, and DIR. YOos and
Gen. Heitz be invited to deliver speeches.
The former, am told, is a fine speaker,
and thoroughly cOnversant with the Eng
fish language. CIV. CHARLTON.

The Commercial AdUertiScr'S Saratoga
correspondent got into sweet mess the
other day. He landed at the depot in the
night. He got mixed up with twenty-five
married ladies, seven spinsters and four
girls, all waiting for their husbands, cOus-
ms and lovers. By accident these women
mistook him for their GOWNS" And-but
let him tell how it was himself:
"Now, dear, sweet, iquid-eyed bru-
nette threw her arms wildly around me.
20, Eugene, why did you not write often
er?' she sobbed, and then she sank sweet
" on my bosom. [ said, weep not, Julia,
and then l kissed her sweetly twenty-five
times. 1t was delicious. 1t made me think
of my first wife and my college days at
Yale. A ponderOus maiden now ap-

but she fell fainting at my feet.
GA sweet golden-haired blonde now
took my hand. She pressed it gently,
saying, "dear Albert, [ know it is you,
and l am so glad to see you! You won't
dance with Lizzie Smith, now, will you?
Now, do promise me!n [ said [ wouldn't.
Then she held her cheek close to mine. 1t
was hot with loves young hope and pure,
sweet affection. We were very happy.
None but a wicked man would have
brought sadness to this sweet, pure young
heart-full of confidence, warm with vir-
gin affection, and beautiful with splendid
girlishuess.
do you still love me, Albert?" she
swispered.

"a heap

she twisted her fingers in my auburn hair,
and held me in a sweet embrace.

Poison AFTER DEATH.-The New York
Post, commenting on the acquittal of Mrs.
CoIburn, in Ohio, pertinently says:
at looks as if the poison was injected
into the body of Mr.. Buffenbarger at some
time after death, a theory which receives
some confirmation from the character of
the prosecutors and the method they pur-
sued in bringing their action. It would
be some satisfaction to have this matter
cleared up; and if it is found that poison
can be introduced into dead bodies in such
a way as to give them the appearance OF
having died of poison, careful experiments
should be made, and tests decided upon,
so that hereafter people may be saved from
the shame and injustice of malicious Grim
inaI prosecutions.
