Rules for Writing.

!. Be brief: this is the age OF
teiegraphy and stenography.
2. Be pointed don't go all round
a subject without hitting it.
3. State facts; don't stop to
moralize-that's drowsy business.
Let the reader do his own dream
ing.
4. Eschcw preface: plunge at
once into your subject, like a bold
swimmer into deep river.
5. If you have written a sentence
you think particularly fine, consider
seriously about drawing your pen
through it. A pet child is always
the worst of the family
6. Condense make sure that
you really have an idea, and then
record it in the shortest terms pos
sible.
Z. When your article is complete,
strike out nine tenths of the adject-
ives the English is a strong Lam
guage.
8. Avoid all high-fown language:
the plain Anglo Saxon words are
best. Never use stills when the legs
will do.
8. Make your sentences short
every period is milestone, at which
the reader may halt and rest him-
self
10. Write legiblo.

The Plain Question.

Shall we intrust the Government
into the hands of the men who la
bored to destroy it2 All those who
are willing to do so should vote for
Horace Greeley. Strip from him
bis pretensions of reform, and the
movement he heads means nothing
more nor less than a restoration to
power of the men who have forfeited
all claim to public confidence by
their sympathy for or their active
participation 10 the rebellion. Adj
NIT, for argument sake, that these
men are converted, that they be-
lieve in the Union, and will never
again undertake to destroy it. Does
conversion make them better fitted
to govern the nation than the men
who saved it in spite of their efforts
to destroy it2 Do loyal Democrats
believe this :? Are they willing to
affirm their belief in this monstrous
doctrine at the ballot-box No |!
The bargain at Baltimore cannot
force them to vote against men who
stood true to the Republic through
four years of bloody war. The edicts
of party cannot compel men to vote
against their honest convictions. This
accounts for the wholesale desertion
of the Greeley movement by loyal
democrats, The loyal sentiment of
the country is in favor of keeping
men at the head of affairs who have
been weighed in the balance of loy-
atty and not found wanting.

Who Owns Goldsmith Maid
Iron Turf, Field and Farm.


We learn through the Richmond
| (ky.) Register that Mr.. Malcolm Gill
of Garrard county, of that State.
will Immediately institute legal pro-
ceedings in the courts for the posses
sion of the celebrated trotting mare,
Goldsmith Maid. Gill claims that
she is his mare, Joet, which was sup
posed to have been burned to death
at the NicholasvilIe (Ky,) fire some
seven years ago. Weapprehend that
Mr.. Gill will find some difficulty in
establishing his claim. and if he per-
sists in prosecuting the suit to the
end it will prove very tedious one.
1t appears from Mr.. ellis account
that his mare, which he supposes to
be the Maid, was stolen, and the sta
BILE fired 10 order to cover the theft.
The fire occurred at night, during
the week of the fair, when a large
number of fine horses were at Mich
olasville for exhibition. The account
given of the fire at the time repre-
sented several thousand dollars worth
of valuable stock as having been de-
stroyed, and particular mention was
made of Mr.. ellis fine mare.
1t is now said that ellis trainer
happened to be present at one of the
trotting meetings between Goldsmith
Maid and Lucy, and at once recog-
nized her as Joet. Upon closer ex-
animation he became convinced that
she was the Identical mare. He
thereupon communicated with Mr..
Gill, and recommended him to take
steps for her recovery. Mr.. Gill sub
sequently visited New York, saw the
mare and recognized her as his prop
erty, 1t is also said that, in addition
to her marked resemblance to Joet
in form, color, size, action and dspo-
sition, she is the exact age that Gil's
mare should be, and has the same
pedigree.

Descriptions of Greeley by Those
Who Now Support Him. ~

Greeley is a clumsy and impolitic
manager, an ideologist, with an in
firm, erratic and impracticable judy
nent, with no popularity outside Of
a certain exceptional and eccentric
class of people.-HarUord Times.
A dead failure. Mobile Register.
Greeley must hide his record from
sight, if he is to become the Demo-
cratic candidate Richmond Engulr-
er.
The nomination of Greeley was
one of those stupendous mistakes
which it is difficult even to compre>
hend.-A. Belmont.
That some of the worst men in the
country have donned white hats and
are hurrahing Justify for Greeley, is
fact patent to all who have eyes
and ears. This is especially true of
his own state. Men whom he has
been as vigorously aud justly de.
nouncing for years past have bad the
magnanimity TO overlook the person.
al grievance, forgive the harsh Ian.
guage, and forget their ancient grudge
against the editor in their new born
enthusiasm for the candidate. Hard
ly anywhere has his nomination COM
manded more demonstrative favor or
more Jealous support than among
the New York politicians of both
parties, who sat at the feet of Mr..
Tweed and ran at his back. We do
not blame Mr., Greeley's more reput.
able friends for being worried by this
fact, but they should not undertake
TO cover it up under vehement deni-
ais. That is TO waste breath in Pc
culiarly idle manner. THOR better
plan is to fall back upon the tn quo
bue.-Springgeid (Mass.) Republican.
1t is true, we believe. that the
Democratic party machinery Of New
York, including Tammany, is at
work for Greeley. 1t is true, also,
within our own knowledge, that some
of the worst men ia this community,
those who have lived and fattened
upon public plumber, and are notori-
GUS schemers to empty the pockets
of the many into the hands OF the
few, are Greeley men, and most anx-
ious to be known as such, evidently
pushing themselves, hoping to have
profitable recognition. That in Gin
cinnati which corresponds most close
ly to Tammany is for Greeley. Our
Boss Tweed is Greeley man.-Ga-
cinndti Commercial.

A Voice from Over the Water.

The London Telegraph of Sep
tember Is, has an able article, oc>
casioned by Summers arrival in
England in which it reviews the
political condition of this country,
and M. Summers position to it.
The article closes as follows:
The question is, whether the
American people should be ruled ac-
cording to the principles of the Re-
publican or Democratic party.
There is no need to send the solve
branch" to the Southern States
wheE, as Mr.. sumner admits, the
work of reconstruction is now COM
plete-when every State is repres.
ented in the Senate, and every dis
trict in the House of Representa-
tives. 1t is not the solve branch, ="
but the laurel-the symbol not of
peace, but of victory-that would
20 southwards if Mr.. Greeley sat in
the Presidential chair. His chief
supporters are men who, if they are
not SO insane as to demand the re-
-.itution of slavery, are eager to
cancel some of the political and the
social rights which now belong to
he negroes. Hence the profound
regret with which the Republican
party of America, and, we may add,
he Liberal party of England, see
Charles Sumner in the camp of the
coppeYheads, leading the party
which tried to kill him, and which
still retains its instincts of hate
against the black race"

Seward Against Greeley.

VIM. II. Seward, the illustrious
statesman, Secretary of State under
Abraham Lincoln, has been claimed
as q Greeley man. Although old and
feeble, and retired from politics, he
retained to the last deep interest
in the welfare of the country, and in
answer TO an inquiry as to his present
position, wrote the following letter,
ore of his last utterances. showing
that ne was in favor of the principles
and candidates of the Republican par
ty in tho present campaign:

HOW THE WORLD WILL END.


Extract from a lecture delivered
by Professor John Fiske, of Harvard
University, before the American Ge.
illogical Society,"
Planets are continually integral
ing different materials which they en-
counter in their progress through
space, and it has been estimated that
The earth adds to itself nearly one
hundred and fifty billions of such me-
teoric particles every year. Second
l., it has been proved that every
planet must be losing a part of it's
molar motion of gravitation. The eff
feet of tidal waves, which are caused
by the gravitation of liquid toward
other planetary bodies, is to retard
dlurnal rotation; and, in fact, terres-
trial day 10 heightened by reason of
the friction of the tides, and is des-
tined in the remote future to give
about four hundred and eighty hours
between sunrise and sunset.
The earth is also losing molecular
motion by radiation. That some ter
restlal heat is lost without compensa.
tion-and very slowly. of course
can hardly be doubted, and for the
state of things thus untimely to be
produced we may find parallel in
the present condition of the moon.
That appears to afford an example of
the universal death which in an inc
conceivably distant future awaits the
entire solar system. If along with
the dissipation of the molar and mo-
lecular motions the planets are also
losing angular velocity, this loss of
motion will ultimately result in their
Indignation with the sun. OF two
facts which bear upon the subject, one
(familiar to all students of science) is
the observed retardation of Enck's
comet by the resistance Of the medi-
um through which it moves.
The other, which so far as | know
has not hitherto been mentioned, is
that all the planets are nearer the sun
Than they ought to be, according to
BODIES law, the variation being most
conspicuous, as might be expected, in
he case of Neptune 1t is at least
worthy of notice that the discrepan-
cy in such as might have been caused
by Il slow diminution of the angular
velocities of the planets. Another
fact, that inter-planetary spaces are
flled with matter, and that, conse-
quently, all planetary bodies rushing
hem must meet resistance and lose
momentum, proves that immense mo-
mentum will be eaten up by resisting
force.
This loss of tangential momentum
must bring all the planets into the
sur. As the planet slowly draws
near the sun its lost tangential mos
mentum is replaced, and somewhat
more than replaced, by the added We
locty due to the increased gravita-
i've force exerted by the sun at a
shorter distance. At the last the plan
ct must strike the sun with tremen-
d0us force. The heat gen Grated by
the earth and the sun alone in such i
collision would suffice to produce
temperature of nearly 5000. 900 de-
grees ccntrigrade. OF course disin-
tegration would Immediately follow.
aud the next stage is the dissipation
OF the whole into nebula.

R-In another letter to Horace
Greeley, the venerable Gerrit Smith
puts the question of reconciliation
pointedly and tersely as follows !:
In all your pleas for recobcilement
you persist in putting the saddle on
the wrong horse. Do, my old friend,
do correct this mistake. You know
as well as any man that the only
lack of reconoilement is on the part
of the Democratic party toward the
colored people. Why, then, should
you not say so? = Not

After Cox.

The Salt Lake Herald commences
an article on the signal service with
this "brillianU sentence, in imitation
of Sunset Cox's famous description /:
"When the God of day slowly de.
scending into the Western seas gath
ers about him his cloudy drapery
and places in his golden culver his
fiery darts, and the brilliant hues
of the rainbow are scattered broad
cast over the heavens, tinting with
their gorgeous dyes the sunset clouds;
and casting a last lingering glory
over the bosom of the earth, then
appeareth the Chief Signal Officer,
at Washington, who has perfected
an apparatus whereby the appear
ance and forms of the clouds with
all their lights and shadows may be
recorded"

Umbrellas and Canes.

The New York journals are severe
ly censuring those inconsiderate gen.
tlemen, who, in walking up and down
Broadway, annoy their fellow crea-
lures by their careless methods of
carrying canes and umbrellas. Canes
particularly are the subject of re-
mark, as these aids to walking are
used in all weathers, and most often
for purposes for which they are not
intended. Thus some persons carry
ing their canes in a threatening line
protruding from the side pockets of
their fall overcoats; others grasp
their canes in the middle, and thrust
ing them backwards and forwards,
spear the persons who unfortu nately
may happen to be walking in the
front or rear, while others carry
their canes like shoulder and
without moments warning, sudden
ly execute cut-and-thrust move
ment, calculated to scatter their
neighbors in wild confusion. These
improprieties cannot be accounted
Tor, as the person committing them
are scrupulously correct in all other
matters of department. Eccentrlci-
ties similar to those of the cane car
riers on Broadway, can be witnessed
almost every day on Chestnut street,
and the above hints can advantage
ously be taken by the offenders
against the general comfort of ped
estrianS in this city.
