Correction.
10 he EDITOR of tie Register:

10 the Editor OF the Register:
In yesterdays issue of the REGISTER
there appeared an article in which your
correspondent quoted me as saying that
defects had been found in the Billiard
camera. l desire to say that was mis-
understood, for, upon the other hand,
competent judges have pronounced it
very complete and the most perfect OF
its kind.
The defects to which I alluded refer
to my own mistakes in operating the
same. do not mean 10 infer, however,
that the instrument is difficult to
handle.
To successfully photograph rapidly
moving objects, such as running horses,
etc, ETC., requires much care.
Having had but little experience in
photography, failed to appreciate the
force of Mr.. Billiards. instructions re-
garding work of this kind, in which he
states that the shutter must be set at
full speed, and a special developer must
be used to bring out the image. Meth
er OF which / complied with. Hence,
the blame lies with me and not with the
camera.
I make this correction In order that .
fine instrument may not be placed in q
damaging light before the public.
Very respectfully,
GEO. xxx.

A DOZEN DEADHEADS,
How They Were Gotten Into the Circus
without Pay.

People were willing to pay almost
any price for tickets of admission to
the last republican convention, and yet
it was the easiest place in the world
to get into, if one only had the requi-
site check. One man, and no very big
one, either, but just one of the common
herd, took plain note-head and wrote
Chief doorkeeper republican conven-
ton: You will pass b. F. Jones and
f. T. Smith," and merely signed his
name to the order. 1t was good, and
still the writer had no more right to
make such request than tin soldier.
When gentleman had related the
above incident some one remarked that
it might be easy to gain admission to a
convention by the aid of cheek, but
one couldn't work a circus that way.
"That's where you are wrong" said
third person.; Il am well aware that
cheek is commodity the circus man
has usually large stock of, but saw
it most successfully used against him

the lake front; the ordinary large
crowd was there, standing around

THO ANVIL.

Many hours have stood watching
By the village blacksmiths anvil,
Where, upon the glowing metal,
Dealt he blow on blow like rain,
Forging bolt or bar or horseshoe,
Turning shear or pruning sickle,
Or link for some great chain.
How the sparks at each conclusion
Flew In bright and burning showers,
As the hammer, merrily ringing,
Fell, and rose to fall again;
While beneath it oil the anvil.
Sturdy, strong, and firmly seated,
Never seemed to heed the strain.
Many men have seen standing
Sturdy, strong, and firmly anchored
While upon them like the anvil,
Fell the blows of fate amain;
Turned they not from searching sorrow
Nor the very king Of terror,
Proudly steadfast, true in manhood,
Showed not where blow had lain.

Capt. Reilly of the New York police
tells of man who called, on him with
an odd complaint. He was a quiet.
gentlemanly person, well advanced in
years. He said: II am much troubled
with large steamboats, plouglring up
and down near my house at night.
They make great whistling and blow
ing. and cannot sleep for them
Capt. Reilly supposed the man lived
near the water front, and said:
where's your home?"

Seventh and Eighth avenues" said he

The next day he sent around and
told that he had had the STEAMBOATS,
stopped. A few days afterward the
man called and thanked him. They
have stopped entirely" said he, land
l can never repay you"
That's all right" said the police
officer, Seventeenth street is net
water thoroughfare and we never could
allow it. You will not be disturbed
any more"
DIR. Douglass of the Insane board Of
the Bellevue hospital says that these
cases are generally difficult to detect.
A few days ago young German wo-
man was brought to the asylumt to be
examined as to her sanity. They
watched her night and day for five
days, and she neither said nor did any
thing out of the way. The sixth day
she told the nurse confidentially that
God had appeared to her in vision
and had told her to go and marry
certain white-haired old man wh@would
meet her in a certain place. She COM
planned bitterly of the hardness OF .
lot which would compel her to waste
her youthful charms, but she said she
must do as the Lord bid her.
