pressing the hope that the organization will he continued
with increased carDesness aided by the hearty support
Of the citizens generally until all corrupt once holders
are replaced by honest men.
This resignation was not accepted, but, instead,
Mr. Brown was given leave OF absence and
Mr.. John Wheeler was chosen temporary vice
chairman, In recognition OF his services TO the COM
mittee and abors for the people In Albany the past
winter.
These acts by the Committee OF Seventy, at
time when the action the Governor would take on

not show disposition TO surrender. Veto, to the
Committee OF seventy, does not mean wade. II the

November, II NAV be that they will yet secure them
under the direction OF the Committee OF seventy,
which has before shown the people the sure way
to triumph.

The German Empire,

THB MYSTERY OF PUNCTUA-
TON.

An old cOmpositor tells this story ::
1--WE remember number of years ago,
when we were at work i'm book office,
near Boston, the copy was received
for a scientific work. The copy was
manuscript, withe every letter well
formed, every capital letter in its prop
or place, every word distinct, and
punctuated. 1t was plain as reprint,
and called by the compositors the best
manuscript they had seen. This copy
was given out to the cOmpositors a few
pages at time. who set il up and pune
tuated it as they had been i'm the habit
of doing, each as he thought the sense
required. The prOOf-reader read the
proofs, marked a few changes i'm the
punctuation, as he did in most of the
proofs, and the matter was corrected.
Another proof was taken and correct
ed 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 punctua-
ton marked freely. 1t was corrected,
of course, and the compositors then
got orders to ''follow copy in pune
tuation." They did so, and another lot
was forwarded to the author punctua-
ted exactly according to copy. In due
time these proofs came back, and with
the punctuation marked more than be-
fore. If that were possible. This irri-
tated the proof-reader somewhat, and
he sent the author a not very polite
note, saying: "If can't punctuate
this work 10 suit you, and yon can't
punctuate it to suit Yourself. what are
you going to do?" In reply the author
said he wasn't aware he had been cor
recting the Office punctuation; but if
the proof-reader would see to the pune
he would be greatly obliged,
as it was something he knew nothing
about. After that there was no more
trouble about punctuation on that
warE -
