Manager Pillow wants to say that all his tele-
graphing in the city is all o. k. and the
Brotherhood are practically defeated. The
experience OF residents in this city does not
lead to this impression, and impartial telc.
graph reports lead to an entirely different
opinion. Mr.. Pillow is therefore mistaken in
his views.

Sailors.

Sailors are sea-dogs that never bite,
because they are usually confined to
bar6s. They go to sea in ships, but
prefer schooners-when on shore. A
sailor is an odd specimen OF humanity,
but nevertheless has his mates. His
main business is handling ropes, nick
named lines. They are hard lines, but
the sailor always complains when he
comes to the ropes end"-perhaps be-
cause he has TO lack up to it. He is
fed on hard tack, and. being constantly
engaged on spars, is an unpleasant op-
ponent to tackle, especially as he usual
ly spars with yard-arms. The fact of
his being "piped to grog" illustrates
the tendency of smokers to become
drinkers. Ever alert, he is singularly
ignorant man for one living where ev-
erything is taut.
He differs from the sails upon which
he depends, as they are steadiest when
they are full.-Detrou Free Press.

4 uIsr4KE ABoUr EDITORS.

It is strange, but nevertheless true,
that there seems to be an impression
among the people that editors of rural
journals live in two-story brown-front
dwellings, all futed up the back, with
founces three deep all around it and a
double row of buttons running diagon-
ally across the front. We write this to
inform them of their mistake. Editors,
especially those in Nebraska, are not
b,oated millionaires, fattening upon the
labors of the toiling millions, and
riding through the streets in an ebony
paneled tally-ho four-in-hand driven by
an Henglish coachman with a cooked
hat, and attended by liveried servants
who anticipate their every wish and
perform with obsequious willingness
the imperious dictates of their auto
cratic will. The editors of the rural
press in the "Great American Desert"
are not that kind of hair-pins. That
kind don't thrive in this climate. Blue

Then Frank explained that, despite
Miss Prescott's kind interest in their

his uncle's discernment in selecting SO

the happiest of men.
May Prescott's chagrin at the failure
of her conspiracy. and the delight of
Grace's parents at her good fortune can
easily be imagined.
Grace bore her partial defeat with
charming equanimity, as she was quite
convinced, by some mental process of
her own, that she had her husbands
love. So she was reconciled to the pos

PRINTERS KRRORS.

Somebody writes as follows to the
Christian World, of London: "In your

MED with the remark (now stereotypeO
Printers error trust I may not be
considered presumptuous in saying a
VOID in defenss of the now great army
OF fypographists, whose apparent igno-
rance is so frequently exposed in pub
tic. One error pointed out In your last
issue was that of a reverend gentleman
whose name had been printed Lemon
in-tead of 'Semon.' IF, in such a case
a% this, the original copy were re-
ferred to, the capital letter would, no
doubt, be found written so like al L
til,;t no compositor, unless he we're

wou;d have been able to distinguish the
difference. More correct would it be to

take Mark Twain's sarcastic advice,
Don't write too plainly. Avoid all
Pain taking with proper names. We
l,row the full name of every man, wom-
ali and child in the United States
Then, too, some of our authors pander
10 the practice Of quoting foreign
phrases. The writer's may know several
languages; but they ought not to ex-
rect that compositors are inguists, or
that they have received collegiate ed
ucation. Some have, by dint of their
own perseverance, acquired knowledge
OF some of the living and the dead
tongues; but this ought not to be pre-
sumed. as rule If Latin or French
quotation be misprinted, the ignorance
Of the printer is paraded before the
public. It is not, sir. as you can testl-
fv, that the average printer cannot pro-
duce his authors mind; the fact is that

his author, whether linguistical, scien-

ical, social or economical, the printer is
expected to understand it all; for, un-
less he understand it, it may be full of
printers errors But, beside this, he
has often literally to translate, by te-
dious ciphering, the handwriting placed
before him, and this is sometimes az

Il MISTAKE WAS MADE.

A young lady gave cher young man "
a beautifully worked pair of slippers, and
he acknowledged the present by sending
her his picture, incased in handsome
frame. He wrote note to send with it,
and at the same time replied angrily to
an oft-repeated dun for an unpaid-for
suit of clothes. He gave boy 10 cents
to deliver the package and notes, giving
explicit directions as to the destination
of each.
It was boy with freckled face, and
he discharged his errand in manner
that should give him niche in the tenn
pie OF fame.
The young lady received note inher
adored ones handwriting, and flew to
her room to devour its contents. She
opened the missive with eager fingers,
and read:
"I'm getting tired of your everlasting
attentions. The suit is about worn out
already. 1t never amounted to much,
anyway. Please go to thunder !"
And the tailor was 81 uck utterly dumb
when he opened parcel and discovered
the picture of his delinquent customer,
with a note that said:
"When you gaze upon the features,
think how much I owe you"
When the unfortunate young man
called around that evening to receive the
happy acknowledgment of his sweet
heart, he was ostentatiously showed off

THE OLD-F4sHIoNED EDITOR.

We were grieved to hear the other
day of the death of one of Michigan's
jolliest pioneer editors almost the last
man of q band who published weeklies
in the State when a coonskin would
pay for column "ad," and three bush
els of corn dumped on the office floor
stood for years subscription. Never
a publisher was more liberal with his
space. It was hard work for him to
charge for anything except the tax list
and mortgage sales. and he measured
short even on them. One day in the
years gone by this paper copied an at
tack on county official, and old Mark
was doing at his desk when the injured
party stalked in and began:
@You are a coward, sir-a - COW
ard!"
"Mebbe I am" was the editors com
placent reply.
"And I can lick you, sir-lick you out
of your wrinkled old bootsr"
Il guess you could" answered Mark,
as he busted the wrapper of his only
exchange.
Il am going to write an article calling
you fool, liar, coward, cur, slanderer
and body-snatcher, and will go over to
Ionia and pay cents to have it pub
lished!"
"Hey?" queried the old man as he
wheeled around.
"Yes, I'll pay cents line to haveit
published"
"Say, let me tell you something, re-
piled Mark. Eve got 200 more circu-
lation than the Banner, and I'll pub
lish your attack on me for cents
line and take it out in mill feed or corn
stalks! Don't trot over to Ionia when
you can help build up your town"
Mark would have published it word
for word, just as he said, and thrown in

THE INTELLIGENT JURY.

A correspondent at Yazoo, Miss.
sends Us the following as illustrative of
one phase of the jury system:
Two colored women, Mrs. Brown and
Mrs. Harris, living in the suburbs of
Yazoo City, had frequent quarrels over
a watermelon vine, which, having been
planted upon the property Of Mrs.
Harris, had grown through the divid-
ing fence and bid fair to soon "bloom
across the party walls"
In one of the disputes, more fierce
than usual, Mrs. Brown tore the vine
up by the roots and threw it in the
face of her neighbor, who, becoming
exasperated, seized an Ak and split open
the head of her antagonist, killing her
instantly.
Mrs. Harris was arrested, and there
being no question as to the killing, the
only point was to determine as to q
verdict of murder or manslaughter.
Judge Graves, who was presiding,
took pains to explain most particularly
the difference between murder and
manslaughter, and that in this case
there had been nothing introduced to
show any premeditation, and telling
the jury as plainly as consistent with
his Office to bring in verdict of man
slaughter.
The twelve negroes composing the
jury retired, and, as was expected, al
most Immediately returned, and when
asked for their decision what was the
surprise to near mot guilty"
The Judge appeared no less surprised
than the rest, but the prisoner was dis
charged. AS the jury was leaving the
court room the Prosecuting Attorney
asked the foreman of the jury how they
could have possibly found such ver-
dict and asking them if they did not
think Mrs. Harris killed Mrs. Brown,
and the Judge as good as told them to
bring in verdict of manslaughter.
The intelligent juror replied that they
all knew the woman had killed her
friend, but the Judge said it could not
be murder, and he would like to know
chow it could be manslaughter when
dey was bof woman?"
The lawyer had no more to say
