Advice to Correspondence.

Never write with pen and ink 1t is
altogether too plain, and doesn't hold
the mind Of the editor and printers
closely enough to their work.
If you are compelled to use ink, never
use that vulgarity known as the blotting-
pad. II you drop blot of ink on the
paper, lick it off. The intelligent COM
positor loves nothing so dearly AS to
read through the smear this will make
across twenty or thirty words. We
have seen him hang over such piece Of
copy half an hour, all the time swearing
like pirate, he felt that good.
Don't punctuate. eprefer to punct-
uate all manuscript sent to us. And
don't use capitals. Then We can punct-
uate and capitalize to suit ourself, and
ysur article, xhen you see it in print,
will astonisl,, even il it does not please
you. ..... g. ...
Don't try to write too plainly. 1t is
sign Of plcbeian origin and public
school breeding. Poor writing is an in
dication Of genius. It's about the only
indication of genius that greAt many
men possess. Scrawl your article with
your eyes shut and make every word as
illrgible az you can. Ne get the same
price for it from the rag man as though
it were covered with copper-plste SEN
tences. Ea, , 500 .u.. at..Y
Avoid all painstaking with proper
names. We know the full name of every
man, woman and child in the United
States, and tho merest hint at the name
is sufficient. For instance, if you write
a character something like = drunken
figure g." and then draw . wavy line,
kand the letter NJ and another wAvy line,
wo will know at once that you mean
Samuel Morrison, even though you may
think you mean "Lemnel Messenger

healing operations she uses no medicines,
but depends upon her "charms." Her
"powwows" consist Of breathing on the
afflicted part, waving the hand over it,
accompanied by few muttered words
the purport Of which no one understands.
The conditions for operating arc implicit
faith in the mode of treatment, entire
confidence in and reverence for the fe-
male operator, and a strict following Of
her directions to the letter. She will then
promise radical cure, and after over half
century of "wondcr working" in that
community she enjoys an almost uni
versal reputation for infsllibility. She .
one Of many witch women" who are
consulted by their credulous ncighbors.
BY far the most interesting feature of
this backwoods healing art is that part
which pretends to work magic spells,
charms, curses, bad luck or good luck, or
objects Of hate or lore. The most of
these women live alone. each has
mystery book" which is an ancient
volume, printed in the German language,
which is consulted when charms are to
be worked. Old Mother Roskc, who
lives near Rcinholdsville, had the entire
farming ncighborhood working every
night for weeks in search Of gold, and
when they failed to find it she gave as a
reason that some of them had COW with
blood in its horn, and until that could be
found and killed, and the blood drawn
from the horn and spilled on the ground
in the moons first quarter, it would be
useless to look further for the treasure.
The farmers spent much time trying to
find such COW among their stock, and
in case a COW is killed in that vicinity to
this day the horns are sawed off in hope
the blood may be found and used MS d.
rccted by Mother Roske, in order that
the gold may be found.
In answer to questions asked of the
witness st the trial of the case Of the old
woman and her son mentioned above,
the following were given as some Of the
'AsSsiouo uaSu ~ tAc "iICu women IN
working their charms. In case horse
is stolen, the thief may be caught and
the horse recovered If there can be three
hairs from the missing animals tail
found in the empty stall. These three
hairs must be cut into equal lengths,
knotted in the middle, and then lighted
at both ends. This must be done at
fsnnset while tho hairs are held on q
shovel, ,;ear the stable. Whichever way
the two ends OF the hairs point or turn
as they burn will indicate the direction

The 2 Social.

Last night the Lyra Society gave its New
Year entertainment. The house wsscrowde /
to its utmost capacity, there being not less
than 200 couples present. at L o'clock
Old Father Time" in the person of August
Gotto, appeared upon the stage, and with his
gong sounded the hOurof12 thusannOuncing
that the old year was dead and the new year
was begun. This was followed by q beauti-
full tran sfOrmetion scene, it being the rep
resentstion of the New Year being awakened
into life by the Prince, the scene being the
representation of a familiar German legend.
Miss Nora Schmidt represented the
New Year, she being found lying
upon a couch of white, ornamsnted
with flowers and attended by 3 number Of
dBaris in full costume. The Prince ap-
preached, took her by the hand and kissed
il, which woke her into life, the Prince be-
ing represented by Henry Kothe. This was
followed by a ta5leau with colOred lights.
The scene was very similar to the English
faiTystoryo OF The Sleeping Beauty" The ar
Tangement of the entertainment was the re-
suit Of the labors Of Mr.. Charles Krauss, who
has for several years supplied many OF the
needs OF the society, and who is never at q
loss for material to render the society enter
tainments pleasant IN every particular. The
representation was furnished with q back.

The house wss 80 completely surprised bg
the scene that ii was some seconds before the
applause could be given. The dancing was
kept up to a late hour this morning.

THE LEVY CONCERT COMPANY
Appears at Plymouth Church, in a Very
Creditable Entertainment.

The fourth entertainment of the Indian.
apolis lecture course was given at Plymouth
Church last evening, by the Levy Concert
Company. All the seats in the auditorium
were taken before Z 80 o'clock, and when the
entertainment opened the gallery was toler-
ably we'll filled. The entertainments OF the
lecture course have come to be regarded a.
furnishing an evening of real enjoyment.
and the one of last night was in no sense q
exception, and the large aud int elligent au-
diem &c that assembled on the occasion was
more than repaid for the Inconvenience and
discomfort Of leaving home on a bleak, win
ty evening.
In the rendition OF mon Pin Audrsi lie
Nozze ci Figaro" aud Rocked in the Cradle
OF the Deep" Mr.. Edward O'Mahouy
delighted the audience, and was again and
AGAIN brought back upon the stage By APP
plause. Mr.. Constantine Sternberg proved
himself a perfect master Of the piaDotOrte,
and while seated at the instrument there
was a death-like hush throughout the audi
ence, making the lowest tones Of the piano
perfectly audible.
Miss Ollie Torbett's violin solos were de-.
cidedly the favorites of the entertainment,
and the lady herself formed no small part OF
their attractions. The Scene de Ballet
and "ScheIzocapriccioso" were given with
a perfection of beauty that sstonished while
it c%aptivated the audience. Miss TOrbett's
second appearance was greeted with bursts
OF applause, and she received many we'll
merited compliments from her attentive
listeners. She was encOIed till she appeared
a third time upon the stage.
Mr.. Jules Levy appeared in two cornet
solos, and Miss Stella Costa in the descrip-
tive ballad, Waiting" and also in the
song, 1t was a Dream" Both Mr. Levy
and Mice EnuHu u1TaI -a4r.s,HIw a. i. -

deeessore, we're heartily applsuded.

service law would be violated. This
mans experience was positive proof of
his ability. But he was Democrat.
The same objection was not made in
case of Republicans who were dismiss
ed for cause, and asked to be restored.
Secretary Liacoln's inconsistency in
this matter is as striking as his villain
Gus, unmanly persecution of General
Swain, who, however guilty, has been
convicted, not in the interest of JUS
tice, but to satisfy the inordinate
spleen of Abe Lincoln's distinguished
son. The political terrorism that has
marked the War Department under
every Secretary during Republican
reign, is not greater, or more fearful,
than the abuses that have been ap-
proved and suggested by various Com
missioners of Pensions.
"vIC1oR DURAND,"
Mr.. Henry Guy Carleton's play, which
achieved great success in New York,
has been produced at the National
this week. Large audiences have
greeted it nightly, and been lavish in
their interest and applause. 1t is re-
markable how a play, with a plot en-
tirely unoriginal, with situations seen
hundred times, like "Victor Durand"
has succeeded. In the first place, un-
usually good actors have produced it.
In the second place, the play has been
greatly over-rated as new production.
There is nothing new in "Victor Du-
randi. Its sentiments are as "old as
the hills" But the author has shrewd-
ly seen what appeals to the sympathy
of an audience, and constructed skill
fully, if not reconstructed questiona-
bly,, parts and situations that are cal
culated to catch the audience una
wares, so to speak. He steals the au-
dience's sympathy at the start, and
then holds it in agonizing suspense
until the close. The audience has per-
haps eagerly watched similar scenes,
heard similar words and emotions,
hundreds of times, but just as eagerly
watches and hears, like all audiences
will, every thing that touches its heart
and arouses its interest. The play
that fails to do either can hardly sue
ceed. In that respect, ''Victor Du-
rand" is complete success, and evil
dences the shrewdness Of the author
The audience, unlike the critic, does
not go very deep into the subject. II
comes to have its heart touched or its
interest aroused. If the author has
wisely wove the net in which he ex
poets to entrap support, the audience
! is satisfied. Mr.. Carleton's "Victol
Durand" is full of interest; it might
have been fuller of originality.
