so important to mankind that it had to
be taught by mangled corpses and the
moaning and weeping of widows and

such a case as this, the original "copy"

was vertiable English dictionary to

bility." Some writers literally
take Mark Twain's sarcastic advice,
Don't write too plainly. Avoid all
painstaking with proper names. We
know the full name of every man,
woman and child in the United
States" Then, too, some of our au-
thors pander to the practice of quot
ing foreign phrases. The writers may
know several languages; but they
ought not to expect that compositors
are linguists, or that they have re-
eeived collegiate education. Some
have by dint of their own persever-
ance acquired a knowledge of some of
the living and the dead tongues, but
this ought not to be presumed, as a
rule. If Latin or French quota
tion be misprinted, the ignorance of
the printer is paraded before the
public. 1t is not, sir, as you can teS-
tify, that the average printer cannot
produce his authors mind; the fact is
that too many of our gifted writer's
cannot write. They scribble, and what
is usually of the greatest Importance is
indited in the proverbial "spider-and-
ink" style. Whatever be the subject
of his author, whether GnguiStical,
scientific, argumentative, theological,
political, social or economical, the
printer is expected to understand it
all; for, unless he understands it, it
may be full of printers errors" But,
besides this, he has often literally to
translate, by tedious ciphering, the
handwriting placed before him, and
this is sometimes as difficult an art as
to make out the meaning of the hier-
oglyphics of Cleopatra's needle. A
word to the wise is sufficient. That
word, Mr.. Editor, would respectfully
suggest to authors, is, Hear the other
side" will not trouble the compost
tor with Latin.

An Attack on Mr.. Dodge,
New York Special


The Sun this morning publishes a
letter from William Z. Dodge, the
idea of which is to show that every
railroad operated on Sunday must
sooner OF later go to the dogs. The
Sun characterizes it as a specimen of
cant, pure and simple, which cannot
be exeelled by any modern literary
production. 1t then says: Mr..
Dodge tells us that he was director
of the Erie railway for nearly twelve
years, until the company began run
ming trains on Sunday, when he at
once left the directory. Then he went
into the New Jersey Central and re-
manned a director for thirty years
until 1873, during all of which time
it was a Sabbath-keeping road
In the summer of that year the
president made contract to run two
trains on Sunday. Mr.. Dodge OPP
posed the project, but it was carried
through in spite of his vote. Il sent
in my resignation, he goes on to say,
which was not accepted, and put
my stock (some S130, 600 on the mar
ket and sold it at ITO to 11S. In two
years thereafter it was bankrupt, the
stock selling for ten cents, The road
was put in the hands of a receiver,
where it remains until this day. Now
it is plain that Mr.. Dodge wants
people to infer from this statement
that the railroad became bankrupt be-
cause it ran trains on Sunday. His
argument is that the Almighty was
kind to him and let him sell out his
stock at a profit because he opposed
the operation of the road on Sunday,
while the poor, misguided wretches
who held on 10 their shares
after the dissertation began were cut
off by an angry Deity with ten centson
the dollar. This is Mr.. Dodge's rea-
soning-not ours. To our mind his
suggestion is evidence either of igno-
rant folly or of intellectual dishonesty.
The simple truth is that people who
think and talk as he does on this sub
ject put the old Mosaic law above the
teachings of Jesus Christ. In this let
ter he seeks to show that the AL
mighty enforces the sanctions of the
law as given to Moses by actually Wis
ting pecuniary penalties upon those
who disregard that law today al

Mr.. G. G. Pearce last week har-
vested field of German millet six
feet high. The stalks are OF good
size, with abundance of blades and
well-tilled heads, and it will make
excellent hay Tor stock. Mr.. Pearce
has also a fine patch OF Concho grass
the seed of which came from Texas,
and which was planted here the first
time this season. Six weeks ago, by
way OF experiment he transplanted
spgigs ri this grass only lew inches
l0ag, sad now 1t is about five feet
hig4 all over the ground. A bunch
of this wonderful grass, with thirty
odd good heads, grown from a single
sprig not as long as your hand, may
be seen at the store OF Messrs Coles
q Beard. With their fertile lands,
so admirably adapted to the hay pro-
ducing crops, Leon county farmers
ought to make large quantities OF ex-
cellent hay to sell, at least enough to
supply tho home demand.-Etorid>
