Correspondence of The True Northsrnsr.
PRINTERS, .uISTSKES.

There is very much charged to the printer
for which he is not responsible. A type-sstteI
took sheet OF manuscript to it's author to have
some OF the heroglyphics deciphsred for HIM
"Oh!" exclaimed the author, ''you will have
to set 1t upIn type bsfore can read 1t for /
cannot read my own writing when it once gets
cold" And so the poor ID haste rack his
brain to find out what the writer could possibly
mean; and il ne miscalls word or supplies a
deficiency, why, of course ne is to pay.
The faithful proof reader sometimes depriyes
the public OF seeing some most ludcrous mis-
takes. But sometimes they pass his notice and
give the public taste OF what he has for steady
diet. For instance A young doctor in Iowa
had written learned article on the disease
called Cares Of the Bones, but the compostor,
thinking that, although he might be very good
doctor he was certainly very poor speller,
added an to carries and an to Of, making it
carries Oft the bones.
1t was lady who was setting up the Script
'ure text: "We shall all be changed in q mo-
ment,' etc. She carelessly dropped the from
changed and had us all hanged in moment.
That minister who reported religious meet
ing, and hoped the good resolutions would be
carried out, thought ye printer very irreverent
to make him wish them to be carried out. AS
the boxes containing the WIS and p's are side
by side, one sometimes slips in, IN place Of the |
other, to the utter dismay of the writer, as
when one claimed something to be the devils
work, that wretched p made it the devils pork
But the printer justified himself on the ground
that he was Jew, and believed the article in
question rightfully belonged to His Satanic
Majesty.
An aspiring young man had an essay pub
ished in which he used the quotation Shoot
oily as she fies.-POpe" But the romance was
ii taken out OF it by its being set, Shoot Polly
IS she fies-pop."
As my sympathes are all with the printer,
ave no more instances this time. Mrs. r.

upon the formation Of sand hills. How
they came there and their object in be-

in the fact that the trees have not had

The next strange thing is that some
people should lie 80. There are some
who do it just for the purpose of testing
to the square inch the expansive capaci-
ty of their own contracted souls. Of this
class must have been the individual
who concocted that sensational yarn
about the sunken treasure.
Whoever it was he must have been
an amateur in the business, for one
possessed of mediocre ability wonld
have taken particular pains to make
out his situations. In this the yarn was
SO woefully defcjant that the fact
of its concoction is SO palpable that the
mere mention Of it is enough to raise
an unsupportable blast Of ridicule.

A Blue Coat Treed by . Dog.

He was policeman and did duty in
a northern precinct Of the city. The
people have heretofore looked upon
him as being brave and true, and an
uncompromising antagonist Of bad
whiskey. A couple of days ago he was
returning to the hall for the purpose Of
reporting. He isn't one of these dys-
peptic individuals who travel around
for the purpose Of lengthening out an
uncomfortable existence and cheating
tho subtsranean fire place of a corner
occupant; but strapping fellow, one
who knows the worth of the world and
how to use it. Upon this particular
day he felt unusually happy. The big
buttons Oh his breast flashed in the sun
light. His coat tail beat musical
flap in the wind in time to his martial
tread.
The little boy on the curbstone looked
at him in open-mouthed admiration and
narrowly escaped an attack of eonvul-
sons by the smile of condescension
that was dropped from beneath the
rim of the big light beaver. He was a
dty's guardian and an officer of the
law. Upon reaching the corner his tri-
umphal progress was suddenly arrest
ed. His dignity fled and left him as
limp as starched collar after storm.
Directly in front of him stood a bull
dog. The canine had bad eye and
began to manifest decidedly hostile
intentions. To endeavor to argue a
point with dog, and bulldog at
that, is bad policy. No one but a man
uninitiated in the peculiar proclivities
Of dogs would attempt such a thing.
This police guardian instead of max
ing for tree, as a sensible man should,
stood and with sweet patronlzlng air
began: Here old fellow, would you
bite come Caesar, old man." Cesar
came. The policeman didn't wait. The
movements that followed his exit, al
though not graceful by any means,
were partially successful. As Cesar's
teeth kept in continual contact with
the biue-coated sensitive calves he
grasped neighboring awning post,
and with the activity equal to the en-
ergency, heswung upward and there he
sat.E
His feelings as he looked down upon
voracious Cesar who was venting his
outraged feelings upon the left tail OF
the guardians beautiful bright button
ed coat was a combination ofrelief and
regret, with a majority in favor of the
former. That policeman keeps very
quiet about the affair and it is with the
utmost delicacy that the matter is men
toned in his presence.

Bold Robbery.

Yesterday afternoon as Mrs. Guerin,
residing at No. IS West Thirteenth

amounting to about $50. When Mrs.
Guerin returned from the store she OBJ

a bundle under his arms. This man
stood at the corner of Thirteenth ana
Market and engaged in conversation
with several of the workmen on the
street. 1t was about half an hour he.
fore Mrs. Guerin found that she had
been robbed, when she began to think
of the man she saw in the alley. but

The Rich California Ban X er.

When it became known that one of
the richest California bankers had left
the Pacific Coast and transferred his
base of operations to the New York
Stock Exchange. all the shrewd tinan-
ciers watched his course with keen
interest to see how he would succeed.
The result has emphatically proved the
wealthy bankers sagacity. Besides
having a much wider and more promis-
ing field to operate in, he is known to
have been in several stock combinations
that paid immense profits. By the
combination method of operating in
stocks Messrs. Lawrence & Co., Bankers,
N. Y, unite orders of thousands of
customers, in different sums, into one
vast capital, and operate them as a
mighty whole, dividing profits pro rata
among shareholders every 30 days.
Capital in any amount from SO to
800, 900 can be used with great success
in these pools. &2J would pay 500
profit. $500 would make Is, 900 or 10
per cent. on the stock during the month.

(mailed free) gives "two unerring rules

Beer Brewers in Con ven tiOn.

The brewers national convention
met in st. Louis, yesterday. W. ].
Kemp, chairman of the local committee,
made the welcoming speech. President
Reuter- then delivered a lengthy ad-
dress, giving statistics of the trade
during the past year, an argument in
favor OF beer as beverage over all
other stimulating drinks, and favoring
legislation discriminating in favor OF
fermented over distilled liquors. Re-
ports were submitted on bottling malt
liquors for export, on agitation and on
the brewers bond. The Presidents
address states that the sales Of beer
during the fiscal year ending June 30,
1878, were 9,473, 36l barrels, and that
the indications, based upon the sales OF
government stamps for the first nine
months of the present fiscal year, are
that the sales this year will reach ten
million barrels.
