Writing for the Press.

The first requisite necessary for this
work is to have something to say, the
second is to say it, the third is to stop
when the saying is said. "What 81
lent world this would be-" says witty
observer, " if people talked as little as
they think p Paraphrasing that re-
mark, what saving of printers ink
there would be if people rushed into
print only when they have something
worth printing The dreary piles OF
white paper "slobbered over with ink
wouldn't then bring despair to the souls
of weary editors, as they do now but
then what should we do for waste
paper?
II know what the answer is, . says
many pupil in the recitation room,
but I can't tell it," The teacher, if
he's smart, replies, &C. IF you really know
the answer, if your ideas are clear as
they ought to be, you can put them into
words" Just Like such pupils are most
writer's. There is an idea in what they
say, but it is so buried under mass of
verbiage that elimination is difficult, if
not impossible. Even gold must go
through refining process much
more its alloys and if gold must be re-
fined, can baser metal hope to escape the
purging fires of the crucible? To be
perfectly Ineligible we throw the re-
mark into another form and put it in this
wise Be SO clear in your statements
that there is no installing what you
mean ; approach as nearly as possible to
the inspired writings; make your words
SO plain ''that the wayfaring man,
though fool, need not err therein" In
that way most editors will be able to
know what you mean by what you say.
And then stop when you get through.
The great American people is tired of
exordiums and perorations. Write
them, if you will, adorn them with all
the graces of rhetoric, and, when you get
through, put them away in your most
secret drawer with lavender and musk,
and send to the printer only the con-
densed and clear wisdom which comes
between the two
Do not despise such small embellish-
ments as correct spelling, proper punctu-
alton and legible handwriting. Set it
down in your tablets as Hamlet was
accustomed to do, that erasures, inter
hneations and blots are not ornamental
to manuscript, do not secure it's ac-
ceptance or add to it's value. Neither is
it merit to write on transparent paper,
though by that means postage be dimin-
ished. Reading and setting type from
such paper is very trying to the eyes
the very look of it discourages the edi-
torial heart. These are all little things,
but when these little things make up
life, as they do largely to an editor, they
are by no means to be disregarded The
world can wait for what you have to say
until you get it into such shape as will
make it easy for the world to understand
and appreciate it.-NeaO York Tribune.

Could Not Wait.

Two convicts who loved the same
woman met in the Alabama State prison.
One was to serve three years, the other
five. Long Term said to Sho t Term,
"Don't court her till I get out; wait two
years; give an old convict chance y
Short Term said emo" Then Long
Term struck Short Term and nearly MUIR
dered him. But while they were fight
ing unto death over the chances of the
future, their lady fair was having an
other wooing. When Short Term re-
turned from the hospital to his eel,
Long Term had strange news to tell him.
She had married the Unknown.

Reyaccinati0n.

There is no evidence, according to the
London Lancet, to show that vaccina-
ton, once efficiently performed at or
after puberty, need ever be repeated.
On the other hand, the frequent repeti-
ton of vaccination, which has become
common during alarms Of smallpox, is
distinctly to be deprecated. Such repe-
tltions are, as rule, futile; they are
wasteful of vaccine lymph when lymph
is most precious; they tend to unsettle
the minds of people regarding some of
the best established facts as to the pre-
sentative power of vaccination, and they
are unnecessary. The official memoran-
dunn of the Local Government Board on
revaccination says: Vaccination once
properly and successfully performed does
not appear ever to require repetition. "
The nurses and other servants of the
London SMALLPOX Hospital, when they
enter the service, are invariably submit
ted to vaccination, which in their case
is generally revaccination, and is never
afterward repeated; and SO perfect is the
protection that, though the nurses live
III the closets and most constant attend
ance on smallpox patients, and though
also the other servants are in various
ways exposed to special chances of infec-
ton, the resident surgeon of the hospital,
during his forty-one years of Office there,
has never known small pox to affect any
OF these nurses or servants.

PARIS, Monday, July 16.-A circular
soliciting reelection, addressed by
Baron Tristan Lambert to the electors
of Fontainebleau, has exposed to rude
strain the temporary alliance Of Mon
archists and Bonapartists. The ad-
dress says:
II have had the honor of being among
the one hundred and fifty deputies who
have boldly defended Marshal MacMa-
hon in the great work Of public safety
which he has just undertaken against
the ito say the least of it, strange anti
coalition Of all the Left. In this ca
pacity l am formally authorized to tell
you that at the coming elections | am
the only candidate in our arrondisse-
ment approved and patronized by the
illustrious Marshal. II I have
again the honor of being your repre-
sentative. | shall give till 1880 my entire
and most devoted cooperation to Mar
shall MacMahon, and help him with all
my power to maintain the peace abroad
we all desire and the order at home Of
which we have all need. The Mar
shaFs powers expired, l shall demand a
definitige government chosen by entire
France, directly. regularly and sincerely
consulted by a plebiscite, and all nv
desires and efforts will then tend to re.
establish the dutor'itdire Empire of 1852.
and to raise up the throne of the heir of
the Napoleons.
