A Little Advice to Correspondents.

WE have already had greal deal of
complaint from some of Cur occasional
correspondents about mistakes which ap-
pear in their articles when they come out
in print. We are aware that in many
cases the fault is ours, but we are conf
dent the matter could be remedied if our
correspondents would pay a little more
attention to the preparation of their manu-
script. Printers are not infallible, and
our proOf-readers do sometimes make
mistakes, but we have prepared few
practical hints and instructions, and if
our friends who write to the paper once in
a while will kindly act upon our sug-
gestons, we will be personally responsible
for all errors that our compositors may
make in setting (not sitting) up their
manuscript.
Never write with pen and ink. 1t is al
together too plain, and doesn't hold the
mind of the editor and printers closely
enough to their work.
II you are compelled to use ink never
use that vulgarlty known as a blotting-
pad. If you drop 4 blot of ink on the
paper, lick it off. The Intelligent Com
positor loves nothing SO dearly as to read
through the smear this will make across
twenty or thirty words. We have seen him
hang over such piece of copy half an
