HONOR THE SIcssoRs.-Thc Guelph Wey'
cuy says; "Some people, ignorant of what
good editing is, imagine the getting up OF
selected matter to be the easiest thing in tho
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
Eth that is the way you get your original

witty question with an idiotic wink or smile
The facts are, that the interest, the morality
the variety and usefulness of paper depend
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 selected matter because

4 Ghost in Jail.

Joliet has been treated to first class ser.
sation during the past week The prisoners
confined in the county JAIL fourteen in num-
Der, all claim with the exception Of Perfect,
the colored Chicago wife-murderer to have
been visited By t.e ghost of that culprit's
wife. Perfect says he has seen the ghost, but
that it answers the description of man hung
in Jail some years ago. His fellow prisoners
are all very firm in their declarations The
apparition is of a coplexon which they com
pare to "the color of the gas-fXtures;" its
throat is cut from ear to ear, and it is so trans
parent that the gasjets can be seen through
it. yet it has distinctly outlined form and
features. 1t goes into the cells and wakes the
occupants by a laying-on Of cold, clammy
hands The affair has attracted attention, and
a noted spiritualst of Wilmington announces
his intention to spend night in the Jail TO in,
vestigate the matter.

In the CongregatSi9nolH a writer, who cyi
IDENTITY hath not music in his soul and is no
moved by concord OF sweet sounds, relate,
what he calls IAN incdent:'
At recent Sunday service the organist did
not so much rs begin his voluntary until the
congregation were all in their seats and the
preacher had entered; just the time he ought
to have ended it. And he played, and played
and played, until DR.. Joseph Parker's sly
observation about hearing considerable or
gan in America came to mind dozen times
The unfortunately long voluntary finally had
an end. in a respectfully short anthem by the
choir. 1t was fifteen minutes after the ap.
pointed time when the minister rose to pray.
Being a sensible as we'll as pious man. he
prayed briefly, but no sooner had he said
Amen, than up struck the organ a second
time in a response which seemed ms if it
would never be concluded. Again the organ
list played and played and played, as if, one
would think, the congregation had gathered
solely to hear him. And when at last he did
finish, and the minister had succeeded in
reading short passage from the Bible, Il
tenor singer took the floor and proceeded
with the performance of II recitatiye which
we think must have been in the mind Of that
musical gentleman of Hichmond, Virginia,
when he prayed: "Oh Lord. we thank Thee
that thou hast put new song in our mouth
1t goes lcedlc DUN, tCedledec." After the
Timber voiced tenor had finished his tcedle-
DUN, but not until the patience ofthc congrega
ton had become quite exhausted, the meek
and helpless minister was permitted to begin
his sermon.

titles of the f,rmcrs produce, anu the deer

Parliament recently described hares and rab-
bits as British lions" which "have commit
ted ten times as much ravage and desolation
as the tigers Of Bengal" and he quoted let
ter from a farmer which said that 1.-The only
difference between game preserving landlords
and highwaymen is that the landlords have

lmany a poor creature must have found the
sparkling days gloomy enough In this
wears Royal Academy exhibition QS7D that
powerful Morse god Odin wenttramping over
the waste of snow, attended by his raven. The
picture was suggested by the lines of Morrss
LOrGrS II GudrnR:
|" As slow paced, weary.faccd he went along,
| Anxious with all the tales Of woe and wrong
His ravens thought and memory bring to him
There is Il weird sadness on the great dark
face of him; but if in the grounds around
Walhalla Odin still continues to hunt the
boar, and remembers that, as the Wild Hunts
man, he has given to the Teutonic and An
glo- Saxon races those sports which were
once serious necessary pursuits, what tales
of woe and wrong" must his raven whisper
in his ear! Surely the old god would put up
his spear and let it rust at the thought of
what toiling Saxon men suffer, to say nothing
of the wretched animals. If Mr.. Darwin's
industry IN tracing the human family tree to
its roots in these fourfooted creatures is dis
tressed in one way, perhaps we shall find
some day a compensation from his theory in
its suggestion to our sportSmen that they are
hunting their ancestors. Whether the fami-
" pride OF the deer will feel wounded by the
attempt to connect them with the twofOotcd
species which finds its chief pleasure in per
scouting and decorating them, | do not pre-
tend TO say; but surely no keCner satire has
over been uttered by Il class OF men upon it
self than when the country gentlemen recent
| " declared, on motion in Parliament to
abolish the game.laws, that in such al event
they would take no interest in their estates
personally, and England as well as Ireland
would be cursed with absenteeisTn.
