 An occasional error in type setting will do no particular harm in the long run. It will only spoil the sense of one communication, and your correspondents will all the better know how to appreciate it, when you do get things right.
 Snappy, indignant letters from subscribers ordering their paper stopped immediately should be treated ecGctly as you would a dun from merchant. Take no notice of it whatev- CT. In nine cases out of ten they are written on the impulse of sthe moment The writer is mad about something and is obliged to give vent to his wrath in some way or other; when he gets over it he will in0aria5iy feel better Keep on sending his paper. If you stop it he will think you are angry with him. This will give you the reputation of having an even, un- ruffied temper, which is valuable. Above all things make your collections promptly but don't give receipts, they may be in the way, next collection day. The Litchfeld Sentinel has had world of trouble, arising out of this foolish practice
 would reserve half a column each week in which to insert complimentary votes of thanks for that string of pickerel; or the nice basket of apples, which Mir. so, and so, left upon his editors doorstep. Of course Mr. so and so does not expect public notice of his gift, but it will please him nevertheless and he may re- peat it. In fact, by judicious use of this half column, think you can aaearly wipe yom family expenses out of existence

The Waco EXAMINER wants re-
form inthe system of bookkeeping
in public offices, and suggests a check
on extravaganza and speculation in
the following manner: eve need n
clear, statement published quarterly
by each officer handling money, a
statement which shall explain every
cent of the money passing through
his hands. A summary of so much
received and so much depended is
worth nothing, II is the itemized ac-
count we need" The Express re-
fcrred to this matter some time ago,
claiming that great sums of money
would be saved to the taxpayers an
nually II the officials knew that each
expenditure: made by them would
be paraded before the public in the
newspapers. The practice in this
State of hanging up monthly state
ment of expenditures in manuscript
at some public place, is burlesque
on ADVERTISING. tThe itemized ac-
count of expenditures should be pub
lished in some newspaper having a
large circulation. 1t would be q
source of Information, every tax-pay-
er is interested in, and enforce an
economy on the part of officers that
would many times more than pay the
expenses of adyertising.A SoR An

A Hindoo trader about to pass
through la country overrun with
brigands, bound his money in n soil
cd rag and tied the dirty rag about
his head as If ii covered wound,
dressed up in the raggedest clothes
he could get, and filled his provisions
with opium. He fell in with dozen
robbers the second day who scorned
to touch such miserable looking
object us he was, but devoured his
provisions. In u little while they
were laying about helpless, when the
pious trader went through them,
taking all their money and resumed
his journey In safety and somewhat
richer. Passengers by the Fort
Worth and Fort Yuma stage line,
paste this in their hats.

Grafton Sentlnel
1t is a significant fact that the speech
delivered by Senator Davis in Brinkman
Hall and the one furnished by himself to
the Wheeling Rcgia1T are not altogether
alike. Some things we're spoken in one
which seem to have been purposely omit
led in the other. In his speech in Grafton
Mr.. Davis advocated q repeal Of the tariff
law. In his speech published in the REJ,
j&sr (purporting to be the same one deliv.
cred llere) nothing is said about tariff.
Not a word. 1t may do to talk in Grafton
abo ut the repeal OF the tariff, but in
Wheeling. it will not.
Mr.. ]. 7. McGnw in introducing Scna.
tor Davis 10 the audience ut Brinkman
Hall the other evening. did not exactly
call the Honorable gentleman the "White
plUmed Navarro" but he said something
epally us ridiculous. lie spoke OF him
as one who for the last ei0htnn years had
stood up for democratic principles
whatever that means and had hatiled for
the Democratic cause during the days ''oi
test oaths" at q time when it was nearly
worth u mans life to do q. "Iohn hadn't
been therew He hadn't told that the
Senator was himself a member otthe Leg.
islature that enacted the test oath law and
that he voted for and supported it. Its
mighty convenient to be 6nseliul some
times.

arrived ut San Francisco yesterday. and is
busy arranging plans for changes in the
harbor for Notifications. He will leave
Sunday morning and proceed direct over
land for Washington. He is in cool
health, but feels somewhat alarmed at the
reports OF his wife's illness. Since their
son became a Jesuit, against his fathers
protest, but with his mothers encourage
mcnt, General and Mrs Sherman have
not met. When, however, the General
showed so much feeling over the action OF
his son, and ~cprOached his wife and her
Catholic friends so bitterly for robbing
him OF his iavoritC son, Mrs. Sherman
changed her plans, and has now de
