S. W. Swiggctt, formerly editor of
the Sioux City Eagle, now the editor Of
the Munc (Ind Telegraph, prints the
following sensible words in recent
issue of his journal:
Many people estimate the ability
of a newspaper. and the Industry and
talents of its editor, By the quantity OF
editorial matter which it contains II is
comparatively an easy task for frothy
writer to pour out daily columns Of
words-words upon any and ali sub
jects. His ideas may how in one weak
washy, everlasting food, aud his com
mand of language may enable him to
string them together, like punches Of
onions, and yet his paper. be mcagre,
poor concern. But what is the labor
and toll of such a man, who displays
his loaded matter ever so largely, a.
that imposed on the judicious, wei! in
formed editor, who exercises his voca-
ton with an hourly consciousness of
responsibilities, and devotes himself
to the conduct Of his paper with the
same care aud assiduity that sensible
lawyer bestows on a suit, or humane
physician on patient, without regard
to show or display? Indeed, the mere
writing part of editing paper is but a
small portion Of the work. The core is
the time employed in selecting far more
important matter; and the fact of a
good editor is better shown by his selec-
ton than anything else, and that we
know is half the battle But, as we
have said, an editor ought to be csti>
mated, and his labors understood and
appreciated, by the general conduct of
his paper-its tone-its tcmper-its
uniform, consistent course-its prinei-
ples-its aims-manliness--its dignity
= its propriety. To preserve these as
they should be preserved, is enough to
occupy fully the attention Of any one
man"

The mill manager of Messrs. w. Hall

in making sheet of the finest appear
ance and thinnest that has ever yet been

was rolled was made on the premises.

and the usual blast; it was afterwards
taken to the hammer to be formed into

conveyed to the ballipg furnace, and

30 per cent less than any previous

Truth In Opera.

One night when Car'otta Patti was
in Brooklyn she sang with Fcrranti.
Just as the buifo singer was leading
her out through the door to tho plat>
form, some one in the room behind him
cried out that his coat had burst at the
seam of the back. 1t was too late to
reccde, for the audience had seen him,
and the two singers advanced to the
footlights. But the knowledge of this
mishap took all the humor out of Fer
ranti, and the duet (Which was sung in
Italian) was SO dolefuly devoid of the
usual humor that Patti noticed it be-
fore they were half through, and drop
ping the text of the song, she fitted the
following words to it in Italian:
What is the matter with you to.
night? | don't understand your ner-
vousness. Nobody laughs at you"
Whcreupon Ferranti, in mellifuous
baritone and Italian, responded
BY the virgin, I have bursted my
coat. Everybody will laugh at me when
| am going of"
At this unexpected interchange of
personal feelings, Max Maretzek and
his orchestra began to laugh immedi-
ately. Then the people in the front
seats, seeing the orchestra and the
artists laughing. joined in themselves,
and the merriment presently broke out
in applauses all over the house.
All, said one Of the Brooklyn
papers, "there is always something
majestic in Ferranti's singing Of that
song. People burst into sympathetic
laughter without beingable to tellwhy."

IRON PAPER-iIow a Yankee Inven-
tor Sets England Agog.

1From the Taylorsville (It.) Republican,
We mentioned the other day the fact
that letter had been written upon q
thin sheet of rolled iron aud transmit
ted from the Sligo Iron works, Pitts
burg, Pa, to Manchester, England. In
an exchange, we have since found the
following very interesting rehearsal of
facts in connection with that circum>
stance:
The maker challenged all England to
surpass it for strength aud tenacity.
This is no novelty for at the Exhibi-
tion in 1851, book of this iron paper
was shown. A lively competition in
iron rolling ensued among British iron
manufacturers, excited by the above
challenge from America as to the
thinness to which steel could lie rolled
cold. Mr. elliott rolled sheets the
average thickness of which was the
1.800th part of an inch. In other
words, 1900 sheets piled upon each
other would measure an inch in thick~
ness, while the thlnnest tissue paper to
be purchased in the stationers' shops
measures the 120Oth part of an inch.
These very thin iron sheets are per-
fectly smooth and easy to write on.
although porous when held up to good
light. 1t may not be out of place, con-
sidering the great interest that Is taken
by tho>e connected with that great
branch of industry, the iron trade, to
give few curious particulars relative
to the exteut that iron can be welded,
and the thin sheets that can be rolled
out. Brother Jonathan little thought
what hubbub would be created In the
old country when from Pittsburgh he
sent that wonderful letter, written on a
sheet made from iron, which took no
less than 1000 sheets to make | inch
In thickness, the dimensions being 3
inches by 81 inches, or surface of 4 /
inches, and weighing 50 grains. The
fact had no sooner made its appear

TRICKS OF CONJURORs-T Risks
They Run.


Robert Houdin used to say that il
the public knew what passes through
the mind Of a conjurer when he sees
the barrel of pistol turned towards
him in the course of "fire. arm trick, =
they would perhaps give him credit for
as much nerve and courage as the
bravest soldier shows in battle. An
omission in some trifling point, the
breaking off of a small part of the false
ramrod, or Of the real bullet as it is
being Withdrawn, may make the dis
charge fatal.
Often, teo, the trick is a new one,
and some miscalculation may make the
plan failure, where failure may mean
death An unfortunate event which
took place at the Cirque Napoleon, at
Paris, strikingly illustrates Roudin's 5
words. DIR. Upstein. the conjurer, had
offered gnn to spectator, with direc-
tions to take good aim at the Doctor,
who was to receive the discharge on the
point of sword. he man refused /;
but another fired off the gun as directed.
The moment after, the Doctor fell to the
ground seriously wounded. 1t was
found that a piece of the ramrod had
broken off in the barrel, and this, fired
off at so close range, had penetrated
the conjurers right lung.
A circumstance in Houdin's life shows
how daringly the conjurers who amuse
US will often play with danger, depend.
ing on their ready fingers to secure
their safety. He had performed some
startling fire-arm tricks before party Of
Arabiaus, making use, of course, of the
ordinary form of conjuring pistol
which is so conirived that the ramfod
withlraws the bullet While the rest
of the party were expressing their
admiration. crafty old Marabout, who
had some suspicion Of the true nature
ot the trick. said, "The stranger is,
doubtless, strong magician will he
suffer me to Ere at him with my own
pistols 7" . Yes said Houdin, unhesi~
tatingly, but first | must make invo>
cation TO those who assist me.
The next day he met the same party,
and offered saucerlul Of bullets to the
inspection of the Marabont Satisfied
that they were lead d--as indeed they
were-the Arab handed his pistols TO
Houdin, who loadsd them, using the
Arabs ramrod His own friends were
in terror, and even his wife. we'll as she
knew his skill, was in perplexity when
she saw him hand back to the Arab one
of the loaled pistols.
Now FIRE, = he said.
The Arab did so, and Houdin was
seen with the bullet between his teeth.
BAH he said, seizing the other
pistol, "you cannot use your own
weapons See here. You have been
uuable to draw blood from my flesh,
and | will draw blood from yonder
wall"
He aimed at the wall, fred, and i'm
mediately stain Of blood was seen
The Marquis went up to the wall, and
when he had dipped his finger in the
blood which was ,ricklng down, his
awe and amazement were SO great that
his features assumed a CHASTITY hue.
Yet the trick was SIMPLE enough; two
prepared bullets having been skillfully
substituted by Houdin for the leaden
bullets he took from the saucer. But
the experiment was quite new, and
Houdin tells us that he trembled and
conld scarcely control his terror as he
saw the Marabout drawing the trigger
of the pistol. Erehange.
