How to Write to the Newspapers.

The Burlington Uowa) Hdscksye recent
ly gave some advice to correspondents.
which deserves the consideration of per,
sons who undertake to write to the news-
papers. A few of its points are as fol-
lows:
"Never write with pen or ink. It ia
altogether too plain, and doesn't hold the
mind of the editor and printers closely
enough to their work.
"If you are compelled to use ink, never
use that vulgarity known as the blottinr
pad. If you drop 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 hour, swearing like a pirate all the
time-he felt that good
Don't try to write too plainly. 1t ia
a sign of plebeian origin and public
school breeding. Poor writing is an in
dication Of genius. 1t is about the only
indication of genius that great many
men possess. Sprawl your article with
your eyes shut and make every word as
illegible as you can. We get the same
price for it from the rag man as though it
were covered with copperplate sentences.
"Avoid all painstaking with proper
names. We know the full name of every
man, woman aud child in the United
States, and the merest hint of the name is
sufficient. 1t is great mistake that
proper names should be written plainly.
always write on both sides of the pa
per, and when you have filed both sides
of every page trail line up and down
every margin and back to the top of the
first page, closing your article by writing
the signature just above the date. How
we do love to get hold of articles written
in this style And how we would like to
get hold of the man who sends them.
Just for ten minutes. Alone. In the
woods, with a cannon in our hip pocket.v
To these injunctions we may add that
whenever you ask newspaper for per-
sonal informatiOn--in regard to the char
acter of your literary style, for example,.
or your chances of making ten thousand.
dollars year out of literary work in this,
metropolis-you ought to be careful not.
to enclose stamp to pay the postage on
the reply. Editors not only have plenty
of time to write critical letters of this
kind, but publishers regard It as great
privilege to pay the postage on twenty or
thirty such letters week. Also, if you
happen to be a woman, be careful to sign
your own Christian name, so that no hint
may be given as to whether you are mar
ried or not; and then If mistake is made
by calling you "Miss," when you are
married, or the reverse, you will have
fine opportunity TO correct the error in
scornful way. Above all things let not
week pass without writing to some news
paper office asking for the name of the
author Of the line: Consistency, thou,

Rules for Matl'imOny.

Marry in your own religion.
Never both be angry at once.
Never taunt with past mistake.
Let kiss be the prelude of a rebuke.
Never allow request to be repeated.
Let self-abnegation be the habit of
both.
A good wife is the greatest earthly
blessing.
~ forgot" is never an acceptable ex-
cuse.
If you must criticise, let it be done
lovingly.
Make marriage matter of moral
judgment.
Marry into family which you have
long known.
Never make remark at the expense
of the other.
Never talk at one another, either alone
or in company.
Give your warmest sympathies for each
others trials.
If one is angry, let the other part the
lips only for kiss.
Neglect the whole world besides,
rather than one another.
Never speak loud to one another un-
less the house is on fire.
Let each strive to yield oftenest to the
wishes of the other.
Always leave home with loving words,
for they may be the last
Marry into different blood and tenn
permanent from your own.
Never deceive, for the heart, once mis-
led, can never trust wholly again.
1t is the mother who moulds the char
acter, and fixes the destiny of the child.
Let all your mutual accommodations be
spontaneous, ,whole-souled, and free as air.
Consult one another in all that comes
within the experience, observation, or
sphere of the other.
Never reflect on past action which
was done with good motive and with
the best judgment at the time.
The beautiful in heart is a
million times of more avail as securing
domestic happiness, than the beautiful in
person.

Flirting in War Time.

The war correspondent of the London
NeDs describes very pleasantly an old
Roumanian hotel in Ploiesti, the head
quarters of the Russian army. Along
three sides of an immense courtyard run
lofty galleries, covered in with glass.
Upon these open the windows of the bed
rooms, tiny dens, in which no privacy is
possible. In the courtyard stand few
acacias, few oleanders, struggling to-
ward the light, and a great number of
those colored glass globes which, mount
ed upon pole, are more than equivalent,
in the Roumaniun eye, to flowers Among
the acaCias and the oleanders people dine,
weather permitting; but for rainy nights
there is pavilion along one side OF the
court -yard-a wooden building full of
taste in shape and decoration, so bright
of color, 50 gracefully carved, that one is
pleased to look at it. Then of an evening
come the Lauatorei, or gypsy minstrels,
another institution of the land. They
play wild tunes and sing till midnight,
always by ear, or else they seize waltz
French or German-trausform it, with
notes new and strange, into barbaric
chant, and the public come to drink beer
and listen for forms sake-in reality to
make love. An instance is cited. A
happy, substantial dame marched in, es-
corted by All elderly gentleman of posi-
tion. Her two daughters followed, with
a youth highly dressed, newly shaved,
pomsded. The young ladies were very
pretty and very we'll behaved they could
not but smile ut the witticisms of their
companion, whom they answered in the
lowest possible tones. But their smiles
were of such nature as to stir agony all
round; bitter feelings convulsed the pop
ulation of the neignborhood. From six
or eight tables in circle looks deadly
and imploring were fixed alternately upon
the favored youth and his charges. Other
youths came up to their friend and audi
bly, begged an introduction, to no pur-
pose. The ladies still smiled and still
laughed prettily, nor did their parent set
an example of mercy. She also decked
and wreathed her comely features for the
distraction of the old magistrate. AT the
critical moment arrived two more young
ladies, also with an elder relative, yet
more charming than the first pair, whose
inconstaDt admirers straightway turned
their backs to fall into new enthusiasm.
The twin Ariadnes deserted showed not
the least surprise, jealousy, or disappoint-
ment. Their languid smiles were almost
more sweet when given only to one.

A Mammoth Sugar Plantation.

A Honolulu paper printed early in
May contains the following: "The Krull
estate, on the island of Kauai, which
comprises some 27,00O acres of rich
sugar and pasture lands, we'll wooded
and watered, together with 5000 head of
choice cattle, boiliDg-down works, and
valuable permanent improvements, was
recently purchased by his majesty, Kala-
kaua, Capt. James Mckee, and G. w,
Macfarlane, in the proportion of one
fourth, fve-eighths, and one eighth re-
spectively, for the purpose of converting
the same into first-class sugar estate,
for which the property is admirably
adapted, having, perhaps, more natural
advantages lin the way of abundant sup
ply of water, rich soil, fat, clear and un-
broken land, woods, &c. than any other
plantation property ON the islands. A
joint stock company has been formed for
carrying on the business, and on Satur-
day last the Privy Council received the
application of the company for charter
from the Government to incorporate
themselves as the Makee Sugar Company,
with a capital OF 100000, in 100
shares of the par value of $1,000 each,
with liberty to increase their capital
stock to $50O,000. The application was
passed unanimously by the council. We
learn that operations will be commenced
at once and cane planting begun with
out delay. 1t is proposed to adopt the
co. operative or central factory system
and already we hear of parties with
means who have engaged with the com
pany to plant cane for the mill. Natives
and forei gners alike will be allowed this
privilege"
