reasonably in1uisi,ivc and curious, especially
abou, matters tina, do not concern them in the
least For example, here is correspondent,
who makes the startling rcv.la zion tina, he i.
"constont reader OF oar valuable and indu.
entail paper" aud would like to be informed
why IT is an editor oi newspaper writer, when
speaking Of himself in his writings, invariably
uses the plural rronoun eve" instead Of the
singular al
There arc several reasons. Selfprescrra
ton is the fist law Of nature. |, begins n,
home, like old Mother Charity There is
some human nature about an editor, public
opinion tn the contrary rh.tanding. An
editor thinks too much of his as" to wear
them IN mourning, and therefore, when speak
ing of some slab sided six>footer as a misera,
ble, red-uoscd, pusill,nimous, wife beating
snoozer, he considers it the better part OF va Tor
to drop in an occasional tive" This creates
in the mind Of the six-footer the impression
that the edi:a':-i! .:1tce consists of standing
army, armed with deadly 1--WE" .apoLs
Furthermore, in case. where the victim
comes around to The office TO kill the writer of
any particular item, j, is so pleasant TO have
the guilty mans identity buried in the ob.cu-
r,,y Of the plural eve The editor in chief,

Rumors were thick at the hotels and o+ber
public places that Captain Howgate had
escaped. Inquiry made in the proper quar-
tiers soon confirmed the truth of the rumors.
AS will be remembered, Captain Howgate has
been in confinement for some months on the
charge of extensive embezzling of the funds
OF the Signal Service bureau during the period
that he was disbursing officer. Since his con-
finement he was upon four different occasions
permitted by order of the court to visit his
home in company with bailiff, the last occa
sion until of late being during the Christmas
holidays, when he was allowed to remain all
night. Very severe criticism was looked for
in consequence of the extension of such unu
sual privileges. and it was generally under
stood that there would be no recurrence of if.
This, however, was disregarded, and he was
granted the privilege, and in company with a
bailiff visited his house, from which he made
his escape.

A few years ago, says an English
paper, when highway robberies were
more frequent than at present, the pas
sengers of stage coach, on its way to
town, began to talk about robbers. One
gentleman, expressing much anxiety
lest he should lose ten guineas, was ad
vised by lady who sat next to him to
take it from his pocket and slip it into
his boot, which he did Immediately

stopped by highwayman, who, riding
up to the window on the lady's side,
demanded her money. She declared
that she had none, but if he would ex
anime the gentleman's boot he would
find there ten guineas. The. gentleman
submitted patiently, but when the rob

her to be in confederacy with the high.

ances were against her, but said if the
company in the stage would sup with
her the following evening in town, she

her, were ushered into magnificent
room where very elegant supper was
prepared. When this was over, she
