About Editors.

Every editor Loves 10 have his friends.
and particularly his readcra, call on him
They belong 10 the same family, ~ it WI re.
But when YOU call 10 zee Ihc editor don't
stay too long. Ediio-S are generally very
busy IN business hours. II you have a sug-
Ccstion 90 make, or news io communicate
state i, in the fcwest words possible Don't
offer any excu scs, or indulge in a long
preface TO what you have to say. Blurt Il
right out; tell the editor you wish him
we'll, and bid him good-day. Editor. doie
on such men as that; they love TO receive
calls from them. Don't argue with them
don't try TO do IL. They have no time for
argument while at work.
When you write TO an editor for publica-
tiun, make IL short---boil il down. Pitch
right into the middle Of your subject. and
bc sure 10 stop when you are through. Edi-
tor~ always like something fresh and origi-
nal in the way Of communication, and are
especially fond of news. But the editor
must always be the jndgc of what il worthy
Of publication. Oi course, every writer
thinks his own publication the hest. jus, as
every mother thinks her baby the prettiest
that was ever born. But the editor NAV be 10
stupid as 10 have different opinion. II 80. il
can't he helped. Don't try 10 argue him
out 81 his notion, II he is too stupid TO
remedy his dullness. You may think you
are a great deal smarter than the editor
and this NAV he true; but the editor NAV
be responsible, and you are not. There il
no class Of people who are ~ anxious TO
please a majority Of people as editors are.
There is no class 90 coveious Of the good
opinion of Others. II il we'll 10 remember
tha fact. - Erohaase.

The Friends.

A New York paper says: The Quakcrs.
or Friends. are said to have been dimin-
ishing slowly though steadily during the
last twenty years. in consequence Of the
scCularizaiion of many Of the younger
people born in the society. Their faith
and life are simple, and their ways so
gentle and honest, as to bc in sharp
contrast To much of the complicated and
artificial wants and manners of the latter
half Of the nineteenth century. Many
members of the society in Philadelphia.
whore they are far more numerous than
in any other city in the Union, are anx-
ious TO correct the decreasing tendency OF
the body. and are zealously engaged in n
movement for the formation of settle
ments in the West. The Friends have
been so scattered and isolated in that
section as To gradually lose interest in
their habits and principles. The inten-
tion is to organize an association which
shall purchase tracts of land. and sell
farms and lots ON easy terms. either 10
Friends or those in sympathy with
them. and to- aid such persons rs have
limited means with money 10 erect
dwellings and develop their scanty re-
sources. The association. proposes &c
lay out roads. put up school and meet
ing-houses. and push forward all need.

can have no better or more useful or moro
desirable citizens. for the name Of
Quaker has become everywhere a SYM

10. 900 belong TO the United States.

A patient, persevering printer of Otta
wa, Ills, has contrived, with an ordinary
steel pen, and without the aid of fany mag
nifying power, to transcribe the whole of
the sixth and seventh chapter of the gos-
pei of st. Mathew and the first and thirty
eighth verses of the first chapter of ST.
John, besides some remarks of the writer,
on postal card. In this little space there
are no less than 2, lSO words, clearly and
legbly written. The card thus contains
more matter than is usually written on
twenty sheets of note paper.

The Reading railroad has just put on
it's line new style Of locomotive which
consumes as fuel coal dust instead of coal.
The philadelphia Record, in describing
it, says; ''The cabin is perched way up
on top Of the boiler, like a saddle on a
long-bodied horse. 1t is not so clumsy
as the old camel-backs which were used
on that road for years, but its oddity
draws the attention of the traveller. The
locomotive has four drive wheels, each
five feet seven inches in diameter. The
fire box is eight feet long by four and
quarter feet wide. The engine is capable
of Il speed of seventy-tive miles an hour,
and by consuming the dust makes great
saving in the item of fuel"

The bill introduced in the House by
Mr. Croffroth of this State proposes rad

it's objects are to simplify the method Of
procuring pensions SO as to expedite the
clearing up of the multitude of claims
now pending in the Commissioner of
Pensions office and to enable deserving
and needy pensioners to speedily procure
a future monthly pension.

We find the following curious case of
the effect of what is commonly called
"tying up by wilP' in an exchange, and
as it has been already we'll condensed, we
give it entire:
Fifty years ago Ex-Governor Macarthur,
of Ohio, died and left property worth
Sevral millions. BY his will the estate
was not to be divided until the Youngest
grandchild should reach the age of II
years, and then it was to be divided equ-
ally among them all. But the grandchil
dren kept coming, and the older children
saw no chance of getting anything during
their natural lives if they had to wait for
others to be born and attain their majori-
ty. SO they asked for a division of the
property, which was accomplished after
fifty years delay. A dozen Of the best
lawers in Ohio, including Stanley Mat
thews, are arguing the case before Judge
Swryne, sitting as United States Supreme
Judge, and the suit will go to the Supreme
Court for final decision, no matter what
the decision of Swayne may be.
There is one county in the state of
Pennsylvania of which prohibitionist are
proud. We refer to Potter county, in
which there has not been licensed saloon
for twenty years. The clerk Of the courts
and other citizens unite in saying their
Jail has not averaged one occupant during
that time; but one person has been sent
to the penitentiary, only two paupers in
the poor house. Their taxes are thirty
five per cent. lower than they are in the
adjoining counties where saloons are Ii
censed. Their circuit court only occu-
pies three or four days each year, and
dockets are closed. If prohibition does
not prohibit, pray tell us what it does do,
with such facts as these before uS?-Stdr
Of Hope.

We learn the sickness WAS caused
from eating ice cream, which in
some way had become poisoned by
the extract of lemon, with which
the cream was favored, coming in
contact with the freezer, which
oXidized the metal causing the
cream to be tmpregnated with the
poison. Mr.. Elder and sou were
quite seriously affected, and had
not prompt assistance been render
by the physician their eases
would no doubt have resulted ia
tally. Judge Wood vas too unwell

is now over the attack. All

1t is we'll to remark that the
poisoning was purely accidental,
