AnOrt PuueiugtiOa,

"Whose punctuation do you follow?"
The answer is, our own. Unlike Dis
raeli's alleged sensible meu-who, when
asked what their legion is, "never tell"
We are willing and glad to tell what
our rnle of punctuation is. Here you
have it in few words
1. Never use a comma if "the way
faring man, though fool, )" can grasp
the meaning of the text without it.
2. Never use semi-colon when COM
ma will serve the author and the reader
as well.
3. Never use a colon when a semi-co-
lon will serve as well.
4. Wherever there is no climacteric
effect to be preserved cut up your semi
colonel and colonel sentence into
short sentences.
8. Use commas and periods as your
standbys.
6. Use the semicolon chiefly to bet
ter express a1tithesis. and to group
phrases and clauses
7. Use the colon chiefly in formal
enumeration after "viz, F" "as follows,
and the like.
8. Use the dash to indicate an abrupt
break in the sentence, an afterthought,
and, in many instances where in old
times the parep thesis was used, to in
dicate that words included are paren-
theticaily employed.
o. Use the parenthesis Only when you
find dashes are not sufficiently exclu-
siye.
10. Never use brackets except where
you insert some word Of your own in q
quotation from some other author,
II. Never use an interrogation point
except when your question is direct, e.
| g., it would be improper to use it after
"girl" in this sentence, "He asked
what allied the girl"
12. Use an exclamation point when
ever you want to, but don't want tC
oyer-much. An oyer-use of the excl8.
nation point, like the use of the italics
seriously weakens. Used temperately,
it is strengthening.
These are our rules to-day. To-mor,
row, if we see any new light, we shall
follow it. But we are not likely tC
stray far away from the course above
marked out. Punctuation, like sen
tence making, becomes second nature
after awhile In punctuation as in sen
teoce-making, we do we'll or i'll as WI
succeed or fail in presenting oul
thought in fewest words. The words
should be chosen and arranged as t.
develop our meaning, our whole mean
ing, and nothing but our meaning. =

Sixth is Comlng Home.

From inf )rmation announced In the
press reports, received last nj ;ht, it is
evident that the Sixth United States
volunteer infantry is ordered home.
An order was issued by the war depart
ment yesterday, directing the depart
ment Of transportation to provide pas
sage for the regiment from San Juan
to Savannah, Ga. 1t is not stated at
what time this passage is desired, but
it is likely that. the or Ter will be exc
cuted without delay and the regiment
may again be in "the States" within
the next thirty days, or less,
1t is now generally known that there
exists some friction between Congress
man Brownlow, for the first district,
and the regiment. Whether this fric-
ton has caused the orders to return is
yet matter Of speculation. Strong
and vigorous intimations have been
made, to the effect that Congressman
Brownlow might work to have the regi-
ment returned.
Hon. A. J. Tyler, who was quoted at
length In an interview yesterday morn
ing, stated yesterday that he had heard
nothing additional in the matter, but
he presumed Congressman Brownlow
was continuing his search for informa-
ton concerning the removal of Captain
Jobe and Lieutenant Gregg. He ad-
mitted that if the facts warranted the
belief entertained by both himself and
Congressman Brownlow, there would
be some Strengthening out done. "
Whether the Strengthening out" has
begun in ordering thei regiment to re-
turn home. remains to be seen.
Nothing is stated in the press reports
concerning what will be done with the
regiment after it reach ss Savannah. -

or Government Money.

At close Of our Civil War in 1865,
there appeared in the London Times
the following:
"If that mischievous financial pol
icy which had its origin in the North
American Republic during the late
Civil War in that country, should be-
come indurated down to a fixture,
then that government will furnish its
money without cost. 1t will have all
the money that is necessary to carry
on its trade and commerce. 1t will
become prosperous beyond precedent
in the history of civilized nations of
the world. The brain and wealth of
all countries will go to North America.
THAT GOVERNMENT MUST BE
DESTROYED OR IT WILL DE-
STROY EVERY MONARCHY ON
THIS GLOBE"

the fabulous corruption fund raised in

of England, during and since the
