FHoseter of Indiana whose failure is to be regret
ted by every soldier and soldiers friend as he is
true and earnest advocate of the rights of

by the soldiers. 1t is always safe maxim to q let

doctrine that every citizen has right to the votes
of his fellowcitizens for positions of profit and
honor we think it unwise aud mex pelient to be

useful and influential on his second than first term

with pension matters. Soldiers, these gentenel

Illinois in Miniature.

The census returns of 1880 indicate that this
mighty State will stand as third in population
among the States forming the Union on numbering
Ohio, which was third in 1870. The order in popu-
lation will be thus New Y ork, Pennsylvania, I-
nois, Ohio. And what glorious spectacle does
she now present. With her 600 square miles Of
territory scarce an acre of which is uncutvatable
and all of the richest quality with her great city on
the lake of over SOC, 900 inhabitants, with the
" Father of waters bordering her entire western
boundary, with the Illinois coursng through her
interior and the Ohio flowing on her south line,
with over 1000 miles Of railroad (more than any
other State in the Union), with her grand canal,
connecting the Mississippi with Lake Michigan,
with one-third of her territory underlad with COAL
with metallic and forest wealth almost boundless
with her scores of growing beautiful cities and
hundreds of thriving villages with her thousands
of churches, colleges, and schools, and occupied by
industrious, intelligent, liberty-loving people,
born on her soil and in other States aud foreign
lands who measure her ultimate growth and
prosperity 1t is safe to say that she could readily
maintain the population of Belgium-250 to the
square mile, 100000 inhabitants. We re-

Hints as to Correspondence.

The rules for correct business correspondence
even among persons pretending to some degree Of
culture, frequently appear to be unknown, or if
known to be unobserved. Before proceeding to
write what you wish to communicate, it would be
well to have your ideas arranged Systematically and
not trust to their arising in your mind as you pen
your letter If you do this you can generally write
readily upon the subject. Tell all you wish to tell
upon any one point before proceeding to another
and let it be rule to read your letter carefully
ere mailing it. If the impression rests on your
mind that there is any ambiguity in the etter-if you
fancy 'Well, | wonder if he will understand this?"
don't send that etter-re-write it. This suspicion
proves the letter defective in clearness. You had
better re-write it half dozen times, until you feel
satisfied with it. BY the way this rewriting of letters
will prove of great value to you. You will ere long
notice much Improvement i'll your style and facility
of expression. Never write two sentences in let
ter which can be construed to conflict with each
other and strive to condense your views and wishes
into brief sentences. Long sentences tend to con-
fusion of meaning And we proclaim it in small
capitals WRITE PLAINLY.
Very often we cannot tell whether the last name
of correspondent is James or Jonas and his first
OF CHEfSIldl anu tnOuSdnuS OF writers never
mention the of the State in which they live.
If his residence is given as Anderson, we cannot
tell whether Anderson, Cal, Anderson, Ioaoa, An
derson, Ind, Anderson, Kan. Anderson, Nd, An
derson, M5nn. Anderson, OHIO, Anderson, Tenn,
Anderson, Teras Anderson, Vest "a, or Ander-
son. Vas is meant, as he only heads his letter Aa
derson and the P. O. stamp on the envelope may be
llegibe. He don't get his letters he don't receive
his papers-then he growls and c--ensures the ed
itor
A word more. If you have number of letters
to write at any time direct first the envelopes which
will hold them and as you write your letters the
proper envelope for it. This will prevent your wife
from getting your cousins letter and your cousin
from getting your wife's. Be sure to stamp your
letters with enough to cover the through postage,
for it is not respectful to your correspondent tc
inhct on him any postage payments on your let
