Many who condescend to illuminate
this dark world with the fire of their
genius through the columns Of a news
paper little think of the lot of the print
err, who sits up at midnight to correct
their false grammar and photography
and worse punctuation. We have seen
the arguments OF lawyers, in high re-
pute as scholars. sent to the printer in
their own handwriting, many words
especially technical and foreign terns-
abbreviated, words misspelled and few
or no points, and tbeee few, if any, GER
tainly in the wrong places. We have
seen the sermons Of eminent 'divines'
sent TO tho press without points or CAPT
tails to designate the divisions Of the sen
teuces; also the letters OF the political
and scientific correspondents. Suppose
all these had been so printed-the
printer would have been treated with
scorn and contempt. No one would
have believed that such gross and pal
pable faults were owing to the ignorance
or carelessness OF the author; and no one
but the practical printer knows how
many hours the compositor, and after
him the proof-reader, is compelled to
spend in reducing to readable condition
manuscript that often writer's themselves
would be puzzled to read.

Another point not to be overlooked in
having clover hay of the best quality is
never to cut it when the dew is on or it

is not very apt to spoil with its own

A Deficit in the Construction Fund.
The third story OF the Custom House Is In
such condition In consequence Of the repaire
and improvements being made on 1t that 1t is a
difficult thing for one to make his way through.

ceive the debris created by the cutting Of light
we'll, gave way and With its pile OF NOR ar and
tunatey no one was under II or near 1t at the

Some difference regarding the appropriation
for the repairs on the building has arisen BE-
tween the authorities IN this city and tho De-
partmsnt ct Washington. The books ct Wash-
inRton show tho balance to the credit OF the
construction fund to be about ten thousand
dollars less than 1t appears on the books In this
city There is an error or q deficit somewhere,
