The Scissors Editor.

Some people estimate the ability
of a newspaper and the talent Of its
editor by the quantity of original
matter. 1t is comparatively an easy
task for frothy writer to pour out
daily column Of words-words upon
any and all subjects. His ideas may
flow in one weak, washy, everlasting
flood, and the command of his Ian
guage may enable him to string them
together like lunches of onions, and
vet his paper may be meagrc and
poor concern. Indeed the mere
writing part of editing paper is
but Il small portion of the work. The
care, the time employed. in Selecting,
is far more important, and the tact OF

Who Shall Mako the Fire?

A correspondent of the Herald
of Health asks if her husband ought
not to get up and make the fire, and
that journal replies:
Yes, he ought to, uslcss there are
reasons you have not given. The
following story may help you little:
a man in Maine refused to get up
and build fire, and his wife said she
shouldn't, and SO they remained in
bed for thirty-seven hours before it
was settled. Our sympathies are OF
course, with the woman, and we may
be permitted to entertain a regret
that it did not occur to her toperform
a great deal of self-sacritice upon this
occasion. How noble and beautiful
would have been the example set her
husband, how touchingly would she
have shown her wifely devotion, how
kcenly would she have made him

The Destruction Of the Sugar Maple

One of the leading maple-sugar
makers claims that but very few pro-
auctions, in the entire system of New
England agriculture, realize to the
farmer so large Il profit as tho manu-
facture of thatcommodity. Asprices
have averaged for the last ten years,
it is certainly IL feature of home in
dustry well worthy of consideration.
Many of the farmers Oh the hill who
own and utilize large sugar orchards,
have become convinced by practical
experience that it is one of their very
best paying harvests, tobacco alone
yielding, perhaps, greater netprotit.
Nature has appointed this harvest at
a season when the farmer can accom-
plish but little labor to advantage,
and, unless he is engaged in this oc-
cupation, his time and efforts will
yield him but little remuneration; yet
without taking this point into account
even did the work come ut any other
time in the year, it would pay grand
ly. Maple syrup and sugar hold Il
high price in the market, and without
doubt will sustain their present
rates, with PROBABILITIES ofadvance in
the future. In the face of these facts
it is certainly somewhat Of Il mystery
why Il large proportion of farmers
should manifest such an utter indif-
ference to the preservation and per-
petuity Of the sugar maple. In no
other part of the country does it flour
ish SO naturally and vigorously as
among the eastern mountains; and
wherever its delicious sweets are ex-
tracted, it rcpays the owner three-fold
for his labor. Still our maple groves
and forests are rapidly disappearing
and at the present rate of decrease,
another halt-ceutury will witness their
almost utter humiliation. The pro-
cess of making maple sugar is evil
IDENTITY destined to become one of the
''lost arts" unless some special inter-
position stays this work of destruc-
ton. The demand for broome ham
dies and other articles of utility, into
which this wood is converted, sinsa-
table. Thousands of our grand old
emcrald-crowned monarchs of the
forest are sacrificed to this demand
annually, and of course the aggrc-
gate amount of sugar manufactured
must decrease in ratio with the de-
crease of the material from which it
is derived. 1t will soon become Il
luxury in the market, commanding n
price that must teach every shrcwd
and sensible owner ofmaplc orchards
the expediency, even in pecuniary
sense, Of preserving this beautiful fea-
turc of our New England landscape.

n good editor is better shown by his
selections than anything else; and
that, we know, is half of the battle.
But, as we have said, an editor ought
to be estimated, and his labor under
stood and appreciated by the general
conduct of his paper-its tone, its
uniform, consistent course, its aims,
its management, its dignity, and its
propriety. TO preserve these rs they
should be preserved is enough to oc-
cupy fully the time and attention of
any man. If to this be added the
general supervision of the newspaper
establishment, which most editors
have to encounter, the wonder is how
they find time to write ut all.

was sleeping with three of her children.

Babcock, and told him if he (B,) saw any
writing on the walls of the Executive
Mansion, to report at once, and he would
take steps to punish the miscreant for dar.
ing to deface the walls of the public build

obscure reference to the venerable Spinner,
whose writing caused considerable remark.

IT seems strange to read that a
Kentuckian has been excluded from office
for being concerned in a duel, or rather for
expressing his willingness to take part in
such a transaction, but such is the fact.
A popular one-armed ex-Confederate SOL
dier named Thomas L. Jones, was elected
clerk of the Court of Appeals last August
by majority of over 10000. But it seems
that several years ago Jones had difficult
ty with fellow townsman, which led to
challenge from the latter. The challenge
was not formally accepted, and no duel vsas
fought; but friend of Jones' with his
tacit approval made some preliminary ar
rangements for hostile meeting, and ON
the strength of this Cochrane, the Repub-
hcan candidate for clerk, contested the
election, claiming that Jones was disquali-
lied for office because he had accepted a
challenge. The matter was brought be-
fore the State Board of Canvassers, and,
though both Jones and the Canvassers
were Democrats, they decided that the cleo
tion was void. This incident is a signi-
sfcant indication of progress in public
opinion.

An Important Tax Decision.

Judge Elwell, in Columbia county case,
decided that school directors could only
levy tax Of ten mills on the dollar. This
decision has been held good by Judge
Walker and an additional point decided in
a recent Schuylkill county case. A regu-
lar tax of ten mills and special tax of two
'mills, for building purposes, had been as
.sessed in the borough of Pinegrove. The
building tax was to be used for the repair
of a school house already erected. Judge
Walker decides the two mill tax to be ille-
gal. Ordinary repairs must be made out
of the regular school fund. AS these de-
'cisions are in conflict with the rulings of
the school department it is more impor-
tant that they should be generally known
in order that school directors may not ig-
morantly collect taxes they are not entitled
to receive.

Death Of the MAYOR Of New York.

New York, November 30.-Mayor Have
myer died suddenly in his Office at 49,
p. M. to-day. Mayor Havemyer arrived at
his Office at noon, having walked down
from his residence. AS he passed in he
was greeted by number of persons, who
state he never appeared in better health.
He walked into his.office, removed his coat,
and sat down before his desk. He was
observed to gasp, as if troubled with wind
collie, but commenced to open his letters.
Suddenly he fell forward and the door
keeper summoned help. Alderman Morris
and chief clerk Wensell Immediately raised
up the prostrate form but his breath had
gone forever. Physicians were summoned
but arrived after death. The cause was
apoplexy. Great excitement was caused
around the City Hall, and the announce
ment was first considered joke, but the
flags on the City Hall were placed at half
mast, and thus confirmed the report. Sub
sequently his remains were removed to his
residence on West Fourteenth street.
Alderman Vance had the oath Of Office as
Mayor for the unexpired term administered
to him. At the same time the death oc-
CURED, the argument in the suit of Jno.
Kelly against Mayor Havemyer, for libel,
was being heard, on motion to strike out
the deceased's s answer. Counsel for Kelly
moved the court adjourn, which was in
stantly done.

A Thrifty Wife.

A squaw sat down on the curb in front
of the post Office in Austin, Nevada, and,
unrolling bundle of calico, commenced
the manufacture of dress. In less than
an hour the dress was finished, and putting
it over her clothes the squaw pulled out a
pin here, peg there; and united string
in another place, made one STEP and
presto ! the old clothes lay in the gutter
Gathering up the rags just shed, the noble
daughter of the forest cast one look of
triumph ON the spectators, and skipped
gracefully off in the direction of the Indian
camp. A prominent citizen, who was an
interested witness of the transaction,
mildly remarked that he would give $50 if
Mrs. p. @. could shed herself like that.

A MYsterY CIeared.

About two years ago, a boy twelve years
old, son of MIR. John Maanhart of Liberty
township, Adams county, disappeared in a
mysterious manner. Much excitement was
felt in the neighborhood, at the time, the
general impression being that he had been
fOully dealt with. Detective Rouzer of
Gettysburg, was employed for time in an
attempt to work mp the cane, but was un-
able to come to any satisfactory solution of
the matter. Last week the boy returned.
He has been in Baltimore, in the interim,
and it is not likely that he comprehended
the pain and amount of unmerited suspi-
cion that has attended bis absence.
