sentatIves reassembes the 9th Of next month the
members will find on their desks a calendar which
contains the titles of 1884 bills and resolutions
which await action. OF course 1t is not expected
that more than or 10 per cent of these bills Will
become laws in the course of the session which eA-
elusive Of the holiday recess VIII proDaDly hoO
comprise more than sixty working days. lhere
will be the never-euding struggles for precedence
between the different committees, individual mem
bers will fight hard for in which they arc
specially intcre ted and several large business
Interests of the country will strive to secure the
modification OF present laws.
On the long calendar mentioned there are 300
private bills, more than one-hslf of which are ndi-
viiral pension bills Mr. C-tfrotl If Pennsvlv vsuia
is chairman Of the Committee on Invalid Pensions.
and ever since he became a member Of the House he
has devoted himself with great assiduity TO the
pension business He succeeded at the last session
IN getting through the House considerable number
of those bills in which be specially interested.
II is understood that before be elected to the
XLVth Congress Mr.. Cofroth was an attorney inter
ested IN the prosecution of pension claims. As he
was defeated at the last election he will undoubt-
edly strive earnestly 10 secure the passage OF as

Errors and their COrrectOrs.

I suppose that there are few things
Of which most men know so little as
they know of the manufacture of news
papers. 1t is the business OF those
who edit to furnish the world with
reading it is the business OF the world
to fird fault I have sometimes wished
that I coull introduce these constant
critics and censors to some better
knowledge of the difficulties. anxieties
and perplexities of the journalists vo-
cation-it ia possible that their hearts
might be softened. their tongues stayed
and their querulous animosity sub
dued. AS it is. most OF mankini seem
to stand guard over us, ready to pounce
dovn upon us at the slightest aberra-
ton of memory, the smallest error of
detail, the minutest possible mistake or
mistatement of fact. They do not seem
to understand that the most ardent
desire of The honest journalist is to be
right. Always he goes into details with
fear and trembling. Generally, no
lawyer preparing for niSi prius or for
terms takes more pains. or suhle cts
himself more entirely to the diligence
OF research; and yet in spite of all this,
the journalist sometimes finds that he
has blundered into an awful depth. of
error, and has been egregiously misled
bv what seems to him to be authority.
But whether that error be large or
small, he is sure to be instantly
informed of it. Somebody at
once finds him out; and just as surely
as somebody finds him out there comes
a letter, airy with superior knowledge,
or ferocious with sense of personal
injury, or fussy in its splitting of hairs.
Alas! we have SO many critics, each of
them mounted either upon hobby
horse or charger of personal injury
Every human being, in my opinion. is
pleased to detect anv other human be-
ing in mistake, To do SO proves his
sagacity, knowledge, discrimination,
virtue and morality. l have had ex-
cellent evidence of this while the pres
ent series of papers has been passing
through the press. Sc c'res OF obllglng
persons have been goot. enough to cor,
rect me. I frankly acknowledge that
it was my own memory that was occa-
sionally in the wrong; but quite as
often l have been right. 1t is hardly
worth mentioning; but surely it is NOT
always the tagged AMI overworked
journalist who blunders. For the
newspaper man who deliberately pub
fishes to the world falsehood, or even
does so through inexcusable carless,
ness, I have no respect. and could
hardly have much affection. But be-
tween honest error and falsehood there
is wide moral difference. T

North Carolina Mountain VasgeIli.

The awful solitude of the forests is
scarcely broken by them. Half of
their unpainted, weather beaten houses
are always empty, the inmates having
apparently died. or gone farther into
these sleepy wildernesses and forgot
ten to come back. The roads leading
to them are always over break. neck
precipices and in scandalous disrepair,
one generation putting off to another
the mending of them. There Is al
ways deserted mica mine on neigh
boring height. shining like a fountain
of silver gushing from the rock; there
is always stream which would give
powerful yield of gold, only we
folks don't count much on them oncer-
tain ways of maxim livin'."
There are always one or two faml-
lies of educated, well-bred people.
They have little money, but they feel
the need of it less here than anywhere
else in the States. They live in roomy
wooden houses. the walls, ceilings, and
floors frequently made of purplish
fine-grained poplar, which no Persian
carpet or tapestry could rival in beauty;
they buy no new books, but they have
read the old ones until they are live
friends; they never saw Gerome or a
Fortnnv, but their windows open o.
dusky valleys. delicate in beauty as
dream, on rushing waterfalls. on rain
bow wells of mist floating over dizzy
heights; they dress in home-spun, and
sit on wooden benches, but knowing
nothing OF fashions or bric-a-brac.
their souls sit at ease and are quiet.
and they never feel the aching void OF
an empty pocket. Our travellers were
welcomed to many room where
Trunks. the spinning wheel. and the
cooking stove filled one side, and the
bed and portrait of a Revolutionary
ancestor the other. where hat-irons
and silver goblets, Shakespeare and the
blacking-brushea, amicably keep COLI
pany on the mantel-shelf. but in which
the fine quick wit and the grave cour-
tesy OF their hosts would have cwarfed
the stateliest surroundings.-RRBE COCA
