Facts About Editors.

Morrilton (Ark.) State.
When you write to an editor, send
three cent stamp. 1t will be q
great curiosity to him.
Editors are slippery fellows.
They have an unrivaled facility of
slipping out of the back door just
after publication day.
An editors yeracity will do to
gamble on. He never lies except
for consideration, or in the plain
discharge of his duties.
Never ask an editor to drink unless
you have good credit or an extra
dime. You might cause him a
painful disappointment.
When an EDITORS hair scales of
and the top of his head begins to
look like the skin side Of cowhide,
attribute it to wisdom-not wife.
An editor never steals. He al
ways gives full credit, and he don't
write "Ex,n after an article. There
are a number of brainless scala
wags in the profession who pass
for reporters and who steal, but
they don't have the pure ring.
When you shake hands with an
editor, don't squeeze his fingers too
hard, for they may be covered with
valuable diamond rings.
When you owe an editor o dol
lar, don't pay him, for the shock
might be too great for his nervous
system.
When you visit an Office mix the
editors exchanges; he has plenty
of time to straighten them. Steal
them if you want to; he will not
need them. Besides, 1t is fash
ionahle.
If you are a mean man don't mem
ton the name of an advertising
agent To an editor, for 1t will thrill

Mrs. Grant recently said that she
did not really know how much the
family had. The magnificent SER
vice of silver presented BY Mexico
TO Gen. Grant about the time he
became president, and by him
transferred to his wife, has been
ordered from the vault of the
bank where it was deposited, and
will be used for the first time in

Grant will have in his new house a
sideboard that will arouse the
envy of all lovers of unique furni
ture. 1t is made of Mexican onyx,
and presented to him by Mexico.
1t is the rarest and costliest buffet

During this short rule, the Moses

millions dollars from the State, of

in vain TO the Republicans to give
him an Office OF profit. They re-
fused to accept the responsibility.
A negro legislature offered him Il

found himself without friends and
penniless. From that time to this
his career has been u constant sue

FUN AM0NG THE POETS.

Some years since, David Barker, a dis
tinguished poet in tho State of Maine,
after the birth of his first child, wrote
and published the pretty poem:
One night as old st. Peter slept,
He left the door Of Heaven ajar.
When through little angel crept,
And came down with falling star.
One summer as the blessed beams
of morn approached, my blushing
bride
Awakened from some pleasing dreams
And found that angel by her side.
God grant but this-I ask no more
That when he leaves this world of pain
He'll wing his way to that bright shore,
And find the road to Heaven again.
John G. SAKE, not to be outdone, and
deeming that injustice had been done to
st. Peter. wrote the following as st. Pc
ter's reply;
"Full eighteen hundred years or more
I've kept my gate securely fast;
There has no "little angel' strsyed,
Nor recreant through theportal passed.
l did not sleep, as you supposed,
Nor let the door OF Heaven ajar,
Nor has 'little angep left,
And gone down with falling star.
No ask that blushing bride and see
Ii she dout frankly own and say,
That when she found that angel babe,
She found it in the good old way.
God grant but this-l ask no more
That should your number still enlarge
You will do as done before,
And lay 1t to old Peters charge.
To settle the dispute between the
above authors Judge j. w. Starr writes
and sends us the following:
read Of David Barker's babe,
And Heavens door ajar,
And how II came from glory land,
Down with a falling star.
'ris' said st, Peter gave the babe,
SAKE doubts the bold assertion,
And calls upon the blushing bride,
To make different version,
Twixed David Barker and his bride
This is u sacred cause,
They know just how the baby came,
1t came by natural laws.
SAKE writes of lovely summer morn
He writes of other things
He writes about the good old way
New life within him springs.
God grant but this--I ask no more--
May father, son and bride,
Join st. Peter in the end,
And John G. SAKE beside.

Ex-Governor Frank Moses, of
South Carolina, has been called on
in bis day to point many a moral.
He does not appear even now to
be wholly retired from public life
and although he no longer figures
as a statesman, he still achieves as
much celebrity as in those sad days
of ruin and rapine, when he held in
hand the destinies of one million
of people when he was at
the head of the government
of the proudest State in the
Union. The particular fact which
has again brought Governor Moses
before the public view is small
matter of embezzlement, in which
he figures as principal. The tele-
graph informs US that it is only the
first of many similar charges
that may be expected to be shortly
made against him. This news will
surprise nobody. A man who would
rob the public treasury of million
will not hesitate to rob friend or
acquaintance of few dollars. Nor
is this the first time that Moses
has figured before court under q
charge OF petit larceny, for since
be left the capitol, his descent has
been more rapid than that to
