The Editorial Treadmill.

The inner side of editorial life,
like that Of many other public pro-
iessions, has its peculiar phases, Its
vexations and discouragements.
which the people at large know
little of and can poorly appreciate.
The editor Of an enterprlsing news
paper occupies an unenviable and
unpleasant position. His readers
are exacting and uncompromising.
However dull and unintcresting
the time-even in q dearth of
noticeable local traospirings-he is
expected to provide them with an
abundant aud interesting variety.
No matter what may be his mental
or physical condition, the necessity
of the occasion knows no law, and
the eternal cry Of "copy" must be
answered, at whatever expense of
mind or body. How many Of our
editorial friends can attest from
severe experience the truth con
densed in the following extract
from an exchange:
1t is one of the hardships Of our
profession that the working wheels
brains and heart-are not allow
ed to lag for sickness, or stop for
calamity or sorrow. The Judge
may adjourn his court, the school
and the worship may close shutters,
the mourner may vail his features
and turn friend and stranger from
his door; but the journalist may
forget tomorrow the sorrows OF
to day, must write gayly and fresh
ly, as u newsmonger, on the triile
Of the hour, whatever burden has
been laid upon that same hour, by
Providence or his brains as a man.
It sometimes tries and mocks as the
world that thus reads what is thus
written would never dream Of.
The public looks upon an editors
labors as the Indian did upon the
man that was cutting hay. He
finally gave in his opinion that it
was "easy to see II white man
mow." ......

How Daniel Drew Spells Door.

The Chicago Post vouches for
the following story: A good story
is told by q friend of Daniel Drew,
which the news OF his illness calls
up. Remaining, one evening, late
in the office, and having occasion
to use the safe, he permitted the
cashier to go home, remarking
that he would close the safe and Fl X
the combination on the word
'door." But when the cashier un-
dertook to open the safe in the
morning he found the lock refused
to yield to the magic "door." He
tried and. tried again, but without
success. Finally, happening to re-
member that Daniels early educa-
ton had been neglected, he at,
tributed his ill luck to poor orthog-
raphy. He therefore tried the
lock upon the "dorc." Still no
success; and then upon the "doar," F"
with no better fortune. Finally
becoming disguised he proceeded
to the st. Nicholas, routed "Daniel'
out of his choicest morning nap,
and as he stuck his nightcap out
OF the door the colloquy ensued:
"Mr. Drew, / can't open the safe
on door. You must have conclud-
ed to change the word" "Changc
the word! Nothin' o the kind. l
shut it on door," care you sure,
sir?" "Sure sir, you tarnal ape; of
course Pm sure! Go back to your
work, and don't como foolin' roun'
here this time o. the mornin'."
"Well, perhaps, Mr.. Drew, don't
spell the word right. How did
you spell it.?" "Spell it, ANY
fool can spell door D-o-a-r-c,
doare, of course, sir. If you can't
spell door, sir, you're no cashier
for me. Pack up your duds and
90 out of the door," And shutting
the door in the cashiers face
Daniel returned to his bed in q
passion, and the clerk to his safe.
Armed with the sesame of doare,
however, the safe few open with
out further trouble, and when
Daniel arrived, Modified by a good
breakfast and his morning prayer,
he advised his cashier that he
might keep his place provided he
would improve his time and ego
tn spellin' skool in the evenin'."

Curlosities of Vision.

We presume that most of our
readers have general notion Of tho
structure and working of the hu-
man eye. They know that the lit
tie sphere, Of an inch or so in diam
eter which forms the eyeball, is a
camera, essentially like one used by
the photographer to throw the image
ofexternal objects upon the surface
prepared to receive it, and placed
within the apparatus. The mere
forming OF picture inside
the eye is not, however, seeing.
The picture might as well be any
where else, if there were not some
means of making the mind aware
ofits existence. The optic nerve
answers this purpose--a branch OF
the brain which enters the eye
through q small hole in the ear,
and spreads out in delicate net
work over the surface whereupon
the picture was formed. The i'm
preston made by the rays Of light
upon this network of nerves is tele.
graphed to the mind, which then
sees the object; or, rather, from see
ing its image in the eye, comes to
recognize the existence of the OBJ
ject itself outside the eye. If the
optic nerve should be severed, the
the picture in the eye might be as
perfect rs before, but we would yet
be blind to it. If any portion OF
tho network of nerve just mention
ed should be paralized, we would
cease to see part ofthc picture FORM
ed on the eyes inner surface. If
the entire image of some small OBJ
ject should fall Oh the insensible
spot, we could no more see it than
if we had no eyes, or keep them
shut. 1t lisa curious fact that there
Is a blind spot" in every human
eye; and what is more curious, it
is found just where the optic nerve
enters the eye-the very place
which we might suppose would have
the keenest sight Of fall.

How She Takes the Train.

She comes down to the depot in
an express wagon three hours be-
fore train time. She insists on sit
ting on her trunk, out on the plat
form, to keep it from being stolen.
She picks up her recticule, fan,
lunch basket, small pot with house
plant in it, shawl, paper bag of can
dy, boquet, (she never travels with
out one), small tumbler and extra
pail, and chases Historically after
every switch engine that goes by
under the impression that it Is her
train. Her voice trembles as she
presents herself at the counter of
Dinners restaurant and tries to
buy a ticket, and she knocks with
the handle of her parasol at tho
door of the old dls-used tool house,
in vain hopes that the baggage-man
will come out and check her trunk.
She asks everybody in the depot
and on the platform when her
train will start, and where 1t will
stand, and, looking straight at the
great clock, asks: "What time is
it now" She sees with terror the
baggage man shy her trunk into q
car where two men are smoking, in
stead of locking it up by itself in
a large, strong brown car, with
3" Dad order, shops" chalked on the
side, which she has long ago do
termined to be the baggage-car, as
the only safe ono in sight. Al
though the first at the depot, she is
the last to get her ticket, and, once
on the car, she sits, to the end OF
her journey, in an agony of appre-
hension that she has got on the
wrong train and will be landed at
some strange station, put in close
carriage, dragged and murdered
and 20 every last male passenger
who walks down the aisle she
stands up and presents her ticket,
which she invariably carries in her
hand. She finally recognizes her
waiting friends on the platform,
leaves the car in burst of graft
tude, and the train is ten miles
away before she remembers her
recticule, fan, parasol, lunch basket,
verbena, shawl, candy, tumbler,
veil and boquet are on the car seat
where she lett them, or in the dc.
pot at Peoria, for the life of hes
she can't tell which.-rPeorIa Re.

Effects Of Ohalybeate Water.

When Murphy first bought his
farm in Lancaster county, he was
not aware that all the water on the
premisesswas strongly impregnated
with iron. But when he drank
that chalybeate water for five or
six months his system was SO
thoroughly charged with iron that
when he wonld wake up in the
morning he would find that the
bedstcad had gradually shifted
around during the night until the
head pointed north. And the
children's beds all performed the
same maneuver. Without taking
warning by this occurrence, the
family continued to drink the
water until, one fatal evening, Mrs.
Murphy had been house-cleaning,
and that night she and Murphy and
the children lay down in the same
room. No sooner We're they in a
horizontal position than all their
heads swung around suddenly to
the northern end of the chamber
whore the stove stood, and the
next instant the whole five of
them were drawn violently against
the hot stove, and held there by
magnetic attraction. Murphy suf-
fered worse because he was bald,
but Mrs. Murphy and the children
lost every hair on their heads, and
when the family sold out and
moved away, every member Of it
was balder than all the other
Murphys that ever wore . scalp.

Migration of Frogs.

The Logansport Qnd) Star re-
lates and vouches for the truth of
the following recent occurrence in
Cass County, that state: For some
days before the weather had been
dry, and the ponds on the prairie
failed in water. The turtles and
frogs that had been living in the
vicinity of these stood it for n day
or two, but they finally decided to
migrate. The nearest pond that
contained water was three miles
distant, and to this turtles and frogs
started in solemn procession, the
turtles in advance, sagacicGsly pi-
loting the way, and the frogs bring
ing up the rear, with their deep
bass and shrill tenor cries: "Go
it re Go itp Go itp "Water v'
(" WaterW Waterw The process
sion stretched out over the prairie
u quater ola mile long, and steadi-
ly marched to the goal, where such
a rolicking seen as cnsued can be
better imagined than described.
