A Word ABOUT Co CORRESPONDING

|
There are many incidents occurring in
the country, " said a farmer friend to US a
few days ago, (which, il put in proper
shape and sent to the country newspapers,
would make interesting reading. But the
great trouble with us is, we are not ac-
customed to newspaper writing"
eCould you not put on paper We asked,
'.just what you have been saying to us?
Or in language conveying the same idea?"
mo. The difficulty is" said the farmer,
1--WE can converse all right, but are not
sufficiently acquainted with grammar,
spelling, &C., as to made it readable.
When l sit down to write a %lettei, | can
always find enough of interest to write
about, but | wouldn't like you newspaper
men who make this kind of work a bus
mess to read it and have q good laugh over
my bad grammar and miserable spelling"
sit is quite evident, my friend, that you
have but a very imperfect idea of what
really belongs to an editor. He is ne Cos
sip by any means. He not only keeps in
violate the names of correspondents, but
the manner in whie: their communications
are written. An editor who would reveal
is unworthy of the name. There is not
II editor in i thousand that would be
guilty of betraying this confidence. We
have never heard of but one"
"While this may be true Of the editor,
how about the men employed in the office
who put these letters in type? May they
not betray a fellow and make him the
laughing stock of the whole community"
"Here again, my friend, you are wrong.
The compositor, or those who putt the man.
uscripts in type, are just as careful uot to
reveal the names of the writers, or any
thing pertaining to their communications,
as the editor himself. In fact, there is a
standing rule in all newspaper offices, that
no one of the employees, it matters not
what his position is. is allowed under PEN
atty of dismissal, to reveal any of the
secrets belonging to the outside world. A
compositor or an employee who would do
this. if the facts were known, would have
a difficult matter TO obtain & position in
any we'll regulated printing Office. Besides
this, there is no one ~compositor in twenty
who knows the names of all the writer's
and news-gatherers. Generally speaking,
this secret is only known to the editor and
his foreman
This is something l never knew be-
fore. If l should send you items occa-
sionally, wonld you take the trouble to
correct them?"
most assurediy we would and that most
cleerfully. All We want is the mere facts,
it matters not in what language they are
sent US, and we will gladly put them in
proper shape
The reasons assigned by our farmer
friend prevent many others residing in the
country from sending us interesting items
from week TO week. After reading what
we h ave said concerning ouI treatment of
those who kindly furnish us with news, we
hope it may tend to remove all feelings of
native delicacy in the matter and cause
many of our country friends to write us.
Let us hear from you.

piece and Looks MournfuI.
Near Cairo there is alleged to be a
veritable ghost, whose reality stands
the test of daylight as we'll as inspec-
ton in the night. The location of the
spook is on the farm of Hart Floyd, and
it makes its supernatural appearance
in room in a negro cabin, writes,
correspondent of the Courier-J ournal.
1t is the ghost of Jane Brown, colored
woman vino died twelve months ago, and
is in appearance an attenuated form
Ofsthe woman when alive. The ghost
stands by the side of the fireplace
with one hand on the mantel. Fully
500 negroes went to see it YESTERDAY,
making pilgrimageS to the cabin from
miles around, and the army of wagons
gathered presented the appearance of
fair. The observation of the spook
is made through a window, and every
one who has looked is satisfied that
he saw Jane Brown as she was
when alive. Some suppose the woman
is not dead, but the majority think she
has really returned to haunt the house
for some reason unknown. SO great is
the superstition and dread OF the visit
| orS that no one could be induced to en-
! ter the room where the apparition
stands.
White people as well as colored have
visited the cabin, and all corroborate
the statement made by the latter as to
the genuineness of the ghost. 1t is
certainly very mysterious circum-
stance. No syllable has yet been ut
tered by the immovable spirit. but the
people are expecting that, like the
ghost of Hamlet'S father. it has a rom-
munication from the other world of
which to unburden itself The crowd
that visits the spot increases daily.

New YORK, May 27.-The rose-scent-

the year is now so near at hand that the
world of women will soon be luXuriat-

her sister women who behold them.
