An Editors's work.

Some people estimate the ability OF
a periodical and the talent Of its editor
by the quantity of its original matter.
It is comparatively an easy task for
frOthy writer to string out q column OF
words upon any and all subjects. HIS
ideas may flow in one weak, washy eev-
erlasting flood, and the command OF his
language may enable him to string
them together like punches OF onions,
and vet his paper may be but meagre
and poor concern. Indeed, the mere
writing part Of editing a paper is but
small portion of the work.
The care, the time employed IN Sc
| lecting is far more important, and the
fact Of good editor is far more lmp0r-
tant, and the fact of good editor IS Tar
better shown by his selections than
anything else: and that, we know, IS
half the battle. But, we have sald, an
editor ought to be estimated, his LABOR
understood and appreciated by the gen
eral conduct of his paper-lts tone' It's
| illness, its dignity and it's proprlety. 10
nreserve these as they should be pre-
served is enough to occupy fully the
/ time and attention Of any man. 1t to
this be added the general supervision
of the details of publication which
most creditors have to encounter, the
wonder is how they find time to write
at all.-Henry Watterson.
The Baton Rouge Truth, during the
recent session of the Legislature, said ::
"There has been q pretty lively tight
and a good deal of valuable time spent
over the University, an institution
wherein rich mems sons are made law
yers and physicians but we fail to
discover that the Legislature paid much
attention to the matter of public schools
or to provide means for the education
of the poor. The country demanded
Legislation in this respect, but the Uni
Blind Asylum removal bill, and many
like acts. were dearer to the heart OF
the average statesman. Go home now,
and tell the people you did not have
time to do anything for 'education's
| sake.

place in his hands the leadership Of the
Democratic host. for the reason that the
achievement of the Governments is an IN
d~ertakiug now too heavy for his failing
strength, enforcing this that his life has
been prolonged until the general judgment
Of his fellow-countrymen unites in the
wish that the wrong we're righted in
his person. The Democrats Of the United
States offer him upon his withdrawal
from these cares, not only respectful
sympathy and esteem, but, also, that best
homage OF freedom, the pledge of devo-
ton 70 the principles and curse we deem
inseparsble in the history of the Republic
from its leaders and the lame of Samuel
]. Tilden. With this statement of the
hopes, principles and purposes Of the
Democratic party, the great issue Of re-
form and change in the administration is
submitted to the people in the calm conf
dence that the popular voice will pro-
nounce in favor Of new men, and new and
more favorable conditions, for the growth
Of industry, extension Of trade, employ
ment and due reward Of labor and capital,
md the general welfare of the country.

and Imperative; that we favor the crea-
ton OF q State Board Of Equalization, ss
the only feasible way by which an uni
form and equitable assessment may be
made on property situated in v or more
counties in this State. That we are OPP
posed to any diversion or interference
with the Public School Fund for sectsrian
purposes; that we view with alarm the
acquisition of large bodies OF land in this
country by wealthy aliens, and we believe
that legislation should be had restricting
such acquisitions for the future; that the
public lands should be reserved by the
General Government for actual settlers,
and that there should be no monopoly OF
acreage BY subsidies to railroad corpora
tions, for the violation Of which princi-
Piles we arraign the Republican party, q
party which pretentiously speaks OF the
public lands as the heritage OF the peo-
ple." after it has ~squsndered the fairest
portions Of this domain in reckless grants.
In all matters not touched upon in this
declaration Of principles. we shall feel
safe in standing upon the platform to be
put forth by the National Democratic
Convention, a body whose wisdom we
recognize as superior to ours, and whose
loyalty to the cause Of Democracy we
know to be as spirited and as earnest as
our own, and we pledge the Democracy Of
Nevada to the hearty support OF the nomi-
nees OF that convention.

HOW aTEo Fencen works.

Col. H. I'll. Jones, Of Macon, Ga, is
an enthusiastic advocate of the mo
fencei' ni0ven1ent. Writing to the
EveningsGraphi6iof that city lately he
said zone of the most prominent op-
ponents of the present no fence law in
Houston county, when in this city re-
Gently, frankly confessed that the
change was working like q charm, and
both black and white were now in ia
vor of il. Another citizen of the same
county, a brother Of one of the firm of
s. Il, Coleman g. CO., who also ZEAL
ously fought the innovation, does not
hesitate to say that the people are de-
lighted with the practical operation Of
the new law. 174 IAE VIZ 4p 6h@
In Monroe county, likewise, the tes-
timOny in favor of t'no fencen from all
quarters is overwhelming. Indeed, in
every community where the expert
ment has been tried, both in Georgia
and Carolina, the verdict is pronounced
in behalf of abolishfng these expensive
land enclosures. The incubus has on
ly to be lifted, to convince every one
of the wisdom and propriety of such a
step. The writer has had the oppor-
tunity in person Of witnessing the salu-
tary effect. wrought by doing away with
fences in Monroe and Henry counties.
One striking feature is the new and i'm
proved appearance ofthe country.
The removal of the dilapidated worm
fences, their corners all choked up with
noxious weeds and brambles, is very
pleasant to the eye. But the sabstan.
tial benefit is what challenges atten'
ton. Those old fence rows have beel
denuded of this rubbish aud briars, anG
now TEEN with luxuriant crops of small
grain.
They embrace the richest por
tions of the, farm, and can be tracet
distinctly In their zigzag course by tn
exuberant growth of the crops. Th'
area of choice additional land brough
into cultivation ander the operation o
a general no fence law, would amour
to millions of acres in the whole State
This would be the virtual creation o
SO much more productive territory.
What then shall be said of the emf
nent utility of such q law, when tn
saving Of timber, the cost Of rail split
ing and hauling, the labor of erecting
fences, and the valuable time lost i
such routine work which is ever goin
on, come to he considered.
And this, too, on the superstition tina
every land holder has the timber an
means at command to fence his planta
tien. But how many thousands do no
possess these facilities, and sooner o
later must be compelled to sell, OF aban
don their farms under the present ruin
GUS fence system.

"A Green sun.

Shortly after the great earthquakes
in Java and Sumatra, a. very singular
phenomenon occurred in all the re.
giNrs Of the earth near the Equator.
Forhseserat days the b turned green.
The people of India and South Ameri-
ca, who were the witnesses of this *
traordinary change in the color of the
great lnminary were terrified, and
thought the end Of the world was at
hand. When the change was cunning
on and going off, the sun had a blush
color. En- the arctic regions the
sun, when close to the holi-
zon. IL apt to assume u green
ish hue, the cause of which has never
been satisfactorily explained. The APP
parent greenness of the sun in the trop-
les, however, was supposed to have
some relation to the great earthquakes
of the preceding July. Another the
ory is, that the earth must have got en-
tangled in its atmosphere some pecu-
liar dust or gas from the interstellar
spaces.

Progress in Electrical Science.

An electrical exhibition has just
been opened in Vienna. 1t is said to
surpass in interest anything of the
kind heretofore held. An electical
railway is soen to be constructed in
that city, which is TO cost $3,00O,O 900.
A portion ia TO be above and the rest
underground. Every country in Eu
rope, including Ireland, has now
it's electrical railway as expert
ments. So far they run for short dis
tances. Messrs. Edison and Field will
this winter test an electrical motor on
the Thirty eighth Street Branch of the
New York Elevated road. A patent
has recently been taken out in Wash
ington for the production of a new gas,
which will not cost I'VE five cents per
thousand feet. Its chief value will be
as a motor. Its cost will not be one
hundredth part that of steam (; hence
surprising economies are expected to
result from it's use. We live int ~R-
derful age for invention. if we could
only realize it. How wise was Emer-

long and bitter speech and The address adopted by
the committee, but he acts in accordance with his
pTOfessed convictions, and the committee bellies
