An editor in Chicago recently or 'e-ed a pair of trowsprs from the tai or. On trying them on they proved to be several inches too L ng. It being late on Saturday night, the tailor's shop was closed, and inc sd- itor took the trOwsers to his wife and asked her to cut thetn off and hem them over. The good lady, whose dinner had, perha E, disH- greed with her. brusquely refused. The same result f,liJEtl al az plication to the Wife's sister and the eldest daughter. But before bed time the wife, relenting, took the pants and. cutting off six inches from the legs hemmed them up nicely and restored them to the closet. Half an hour later the daught ter, taken with compunction for her unilial conduct, took the tpowsers and, cutting off six inches, hemmed and repl lced them. Finally the sister-In-law felt the bangs of conscience, and she, too, performed an additional surgical operation on the garment. When th, editor appeared at breakfast on Sunday the family thought a High land chieftain had arrived. The Century.

The Specter Knight.
A LEGEND OF THE DAYS OF CHIvALRY.

Proud banners streamed upon the breeze. Brave knights in bold array. Were met to grace the marrlage-feast, Their fair Queen $ wedding day! In that broad land not one, ween, Could boast such gallant court Of Ianoes winch on oyria's plain For Christ's blest cause had fought! By yon high altar knelt the bride. When 'pon the scented breeze, That swept through swaying jasmine bowers From peEfdmed-breathIng trees. 4 sigh was borne, as some pale ghost Dld quit It's pc ioaful rest, Charn4ed from tie old by master spell Of some supreme beneSt. Arsin ii stole-that doleful sound, Turoaghuut UEe ano.ent ball; 4 lyid light br Ike frJm tue sky,
 And streame -wart the wall; And now. anear the shuddering bride, Took sh spe pIaniOm knight, With shattered i1nce n1 cloven crest, Who fell ln Nj JSlem f Snt Full well they kenned hs visage wan, Whereon they wont ring gaZed The bravest knight that e'er Gouched lance Where A!lah's name was raised !
 
 An icy wInd, which stirred their plunes, Stole through that ancient room; The charneTs bre tn snlote, chill and dark As from g iping tomb! Then spake the sprite,-"Unbi6 come, To claim my plighted troth With her to whom my ,ul was bound By knishth Jod'S sacred oath UHy bones lie bleached 'pon burning sand Beside my lithful steed; For nought avalled h;s mighty strength, And nought his matchless speed. He ceased, and stretched his mailed hand Slow toward e dist mt east A horror crept from guest t0 guest
 Who praced that marriage feast Re shrank like some ethereal mist;
 Again the sun shone flir,- Again, throughout tn ancient hall, Sweet stole the psrfumed ar They sought to raise her senseless form, How heavy hung her he s'Tke spec. CT knight" had cl timed his own; Her soul V as with the deal.

What Constitutes an InteIli-

It may interest the public to know what are the principal qualifications required of those printers that work in first class city newspaper offices. Although every compositor is sup posed to follow copy" rigidly, he does not and can not always do so. No matter how faulty the grammar. the punctuation, the spelling. tue capitalization of the writer for the press may be the compositor IS sup posed to make 1t right every time; so that the latter really assists at edit ing the journal on which hs is en- gagged as typesetter The compos- itor is the best friend of the com poser. If there be given to the com positor piece of manuscript copy m which occur the most unfamiliar foreign words and phrases, and in
 which there are written neither cap- Ital letters nor punctuation marks, ne
 is usually thought to be equal to the
 task of bringing entire order out of chaos. If he errs, and the proof reader happens to know wherein he
 has erred, he is generally compelled
 to correct such mistake or mistakes
 at the expense of his own time. Many have been the serious errors which I myself have corrected for writers, err rGzs which wonld probably have go ne unrsctiied had 1t not been for

Greeley remarked, "Mr. Thompson. am very glad you did not carry out your threat this morning" What do yon mean?" ''Why, you said you were going to stop my paper" And 50 l did; I went to tho office and had it stopped" "You are surely mistaken. I have just come from there and the press was running and business was booming" Sir" said Thompson. very pompously, q mean I intended to stop my subscription to your paper" 70, thunder" ejarula.ed Greeley; II thought you were going to stop the running of the paper and knock me out of a living" My friend, let me tell YOU something; one man is just a drop of water ill the ocean.

The New fork Herald says ot the constitutionality of the Chinese law: "A treaty is the supreme law of the land. in the sense that an act of Con- gress is; that is until it be abrogated or suspended by a later act of Con- gress. ca any subject within its sphere, Congress may pass law vio lating every clause of an existing treaty. The enactment of such d law may amount to fragrant breach of faith with foreign power, but its constitutionality cannot be question ed on the ground that it is in cun- fict with a treaty.

Dcar NJ. Smith In making our
" Cash Argument" in last weeks Jour.
nal, we used your name in connection
with Messrs. Lenehan and Masons, and
we are very sorry to learn that some Of
the parties we're offended at it. Now,
to make everything pleasant, we have
instructed the Home Journal to blur
Mason out, and instead let little black
mark occupy the same space, which will
answer every purpose. lfyou have NJ
objection we would like to retain your
name, and in the future if our argument
should pinch you little, and You should
become offended, we will have it blurred
out like unto Mason, (not John, 'ce did
not mean him IN the f,st;) and as tc
Lenehan, we meant p. d Steve.
Mr.. Smith, our team is fresh ant
harness good. We will not drag or be
led. We are on level ground Yor
may build n hill for us; but. Mr.
Smith, you know, to build a hill you
must commence at the top. Then yor
will work down hill all the time. (Grcat
advantage in the building, but whel
you have finished it you will be at the
foot, and you will find us right at the
top of your hill.) Our little old bony
sorrel has never been known to balk.
