Short Long Hand.


Prof. H. Gamole, of Philadelphia,
suggests form OF abbreviated long

the application Of seven simple rules .
large part of the labor, time and vexa-
ton of the pon-uscr is saved, also, the
readers time, for when words (are)
abbreviated the eve can take in moro
ut glance. Letters standing alone as
u for YOU more lecible than words.
We easily read the ~ ! OF the worst
scribe, because the form Of the letter IS
not changed by joining with others.
This is why ordinary print is so much
palmer than even engraved script
The average penman writing seven
hours q day writes the zoo times,
several other words nearly as frequent
". Some of these words occur l,OOO
times as often as words to which abbre-
yiations have long been given. The ire
quent recurrence of 20 words makes up
I OF English The words represented
by single letters would (be) as plain

economy of time Il save millions Of dol

so frequently that reading a few pages
of a book so printed fixes them in the

THE late extraordinary effort of

THE late extraordinary effort OF
the Democrat in advocacy of its fl
nancial policy, in which it maintains
that under the free trade system the
pay Of the laborer was three or four
times greater than under a system
of protection, is SO remarkable, that
it ELECTS attention and surprise.
Such wild assertions from journal
heretofore known for its candor and
moderation, give rise to the sugges-
ton, that the perplexity attending
the attempt to make its former ex-
pressed views coincide with the tar
if plank in the recent Democratic
platform; and the embarrassment
arising from an imposed demand
that it cordially support the free
whisky plank therein, has resulted
in mental strain that excites seri
GUS apprehension.

which was to have been given the road
to be built into Oregon to afford its
people an outlet to the East by the way
of the Central Pacific, so that they
should not be entirely in the power of
the Northern Pacific. Another road
was to get corresponding grant from
Congress on condition that it built in
an opposite direction from Oregon into
California SO that the Californians
should have by its means the advantage
OF connection with the Northern
Pacific, and relief from any attempted
monopoly by the Central Pacific. But
the Northern Pacific and Central Pa
ciiic have combined together and agreed
to build t. meet each other and then
pool all their business SO that the
monopoly shall be kent up on both
sides The scheme is now being carried
out, and the two roads will be united III
