We are not going to fly into a passion

of the "E7ery Evening" Almanac and
Year Book for 1879, for which the pub

oompanyipg the book states that the
delay in it's issue this year is due TO
the fact that the new State Administra-

the Legislature were hot elected till
some time after that, making it impos-
sible to publish full list of officers,
without which the book would have
been incomplete. The delay, however,
il more than offset by the fullness of
the details Of the varied information
which it contains. 1t contains SO pages

Veto H..

News oemrs to us from Washington
that President Hayes will pocket the
Anti-Ch ioess bill. The bill had pre-
viously passed the Senate, aud was con-
Cured in by the House on Saturday
last, aot allowing President Hayes the
usual ten days which the Constitution
allows him to consider before afhx-
ing his signature or returning it to
Congress. by this Congress has thrown
the whole responsibility on the Pr-si-
dem, but il is hoped he will not shirk
that responsibility No matter whom it
may hurt, remembering that equality
in the rights OF all m-u is the corner
stone upon which the American Re-
public rests, and it is the duty Of the
Executive of the nation to recognize
principle. and, 20 far az in him lies to
carry il in to practical eject, no matter
whether it loses California to the
Republicans next fall OF not. The
New York "Times" in referring to this
matter says Mr.. Hayes has plain duty
TO perform, and the fact that Postmaster
General Key pledged him to sign bill
restricting Chinese emigration should
not weigh with him one tiAle in decid'
ing this question. The Times i,
right when it says that the bill is IN out
rage upon Americans az wei! ~ an insult
to China. 1t provides that no Amsri-
can vessel shall bring more than fifteen
Cinnamon to this country. Amy YES.
sel belonging to a foreign nation may
transport as many Cinnamon as it can
bring to San Francisco. The result
will be, not lessening of the numbe,
of Chinese coming to America, but q
diminution of the receipts of American
ship.owners. This is a purely business
virv OF the subject. The other view
that tho enactment Of this bill into {
law would violate all the principles
toon whieh our Government is founded
is much more important, and should
have much more weight in detsrmin
ing the President to veto this obnox
ious measure. Whatever may be th
justic. in this demand Of the Pacid
coast fer anti-Chinese legislation, tn
Government should go about the worl
in more becoming and statesnenlik
manner 1t will bs time enough T.
abrogate the treaty when the Bmpero
Of China shall have refused to consen
to it's modification. AS matters nov
stand, the President should veto tn

A COSTLY APRIL FOOL JOKE.

An amusing little. episode in counec-
ton with the observance of All-Fools'
Day occurred in Boston. On one of
the principal thoroughfares two
teamsters had left their teams
standing, with the tailboards touching.
Two fun-loying clerks in a hardware
store in the immediate vicinity
conceived the idea of claiming these
teams together, which idea was
promptly carried out. Soon the
drivers returned, and not noticing
what had been done to their teams,
mounted their seats, and with a
simultaneous "git" proceeded to start
off. The start, Of course, did not take
place. One of the drivers, looking
around and discovering the difficulty,
got down and undoing the chain,
which was worth eight or ten dollars,
threw it into his wagon, and boil,
teams Immediately drove off, amid the
frantic calls of the clerks to retusn the
chain. AS both the teamsters are
unknown to the clerks, it is more than
probable that their salaries will be di.
minished just the value of that chain.

GREEDY AND VANDERBILT.

In relating the circumstances Of tho
payment to the daughters of Horace
Greeley of q large sum of money
borrowed by young Vanderbilt, the
Tribune tells the following story:
Mr.. Vanderbilt, on learning that
Mr.. Greeley was advancing sums Of
money to his son, called at the Ni-
June Office and assembled to Mr.. Gree
ley's room. The editor was absorbed
in writing an editorial. Commodore
Vanderbilt was in rage. He burst
out on approaching Mr.. Greeley, with
this emphatic remark:
''Mr. Greeley, want You to under
stand, sir, by Cd, l won't pay
id cent of my sons debts"
'Without looking up from his man
uscript, Mr.. Greeley replied:
"Who the h-ll asked You to-"
Mr.. Vanderbilt, on leaving the
room, said to a friend:
"What internal independent fellows
these editors are"
Mr.. Greeley subsequently said to
Cornelius Vanderbilt, after relating
the circumstance:

PRINTERS AND PRINTING,

!, { WoodcocHs Newspaper Reporter.l
Many who condescend to illuminate
this dark world with the fire of their
genius, through the columns Of news
paper, little think of the lot of the
printer, who SIT up at midnight to
correct their false grammar and Or
typography, and worse punctuation.
We have seen the arguments of law
gers, in high repute as scholars, sent
TO the printer in their own handwrit-
;ng-many words, especially technical
and foreign terms, abbreviated, words
mis-spelled, and few Or no points,
and these few, if any, certainly in the
wrong place. We have seen the SER
mons of eminent "divines" sent to the
press without points or capitals to
designate the division Of sentences;
also the letters of the political and
scientific correspondents. Suppose all
these had been SO printed, the printer
would have been treated with scoln
and contempt. No one would have
believed that such gross 'and pale
pable faults were owing to the ig-
norance or carelessness Of the author
and no one but the practical printer
knows how many hours the compost
tor, and after him a proof-reader, is
compelled to spend in reducing to

INSTRUMENTATION IN MISSISSIPPI.
[Sumn,it Tin,es.]

We are compelled to blush for our
race, at the relation of q case Of misce-
genation which occurred lately liz the
county of Marion, a young negro fell
low, called Victor Saucer, eloped
with white girl named Brooks. The
infamous pair were seen vending their
way southwark, and were charged
with burglariously entering q dwelling
house ON their route temporarily pnoc-
cupied. Some time subsequently the
negro was reported found dead, with
six bullet holes in his body, the
shameless wretch in woman's form
who accompanied him, unfortun ately
for her race, made her escape.
We also learn through letter from
Columbia, that a Sheriff's posse COM
posed of David Winburn, Thos. Nc
Donald and Wilman Pope, were out
bear-hunting, one night last week,
and came suddenly upon Ben Forten-
berry, the late defaulting Sheriff of
Marion county, who-many Of our
readers will remember-was con-
victed of embezzlement some two or
three years since, and sentenced to
three years. hard labor in the
penitentiary - being at the time
incarcerated in the county Jail, from
which he made his escape, and has
been lying around the neighborhood
to the presentstime. On the night of
the 10Th April last, the three gen.
tlemen named came up with, fred
upon and wounded him; ne, however,
succeeded in effecting his escape, after
firing two shots at Thos. Mcdonald
and one at Winburn. Great excite
ment prevailed, oquite a number
of his friends, alarmed for his safety,
were out in search of him, also strong
force of the best citizens, acting as a
Sheriff's posse.
