The Editorial awe"

In response to an .inquiring
reader the Commercial Appeal
gives the following as the origin
and meaning OF the editorial
"we:" "The origin Of the edi-
torial "we' is involved in some
doubt, but it was frs used to
convey a plurality of IDEAS
Kings, princes and potentates,
ecclesiastical dignitaries OF 9TH
ers who speak or write in a rep
resentative capacity. make use OF
the pronoun. The continued use
of the editorial "we" in modern
journalism is no longer primary
lily to convey a plurality of idea,
bnt 1t is used TO conceal individ-
uality and avoid any semb'ance
of egotism on the part Of an edi.
tor.', In addition to numero us
other virtues the modern editor is
exceedingly modest and shrinks
from publicity, as a maiden
shrinks from a mouse. Editors
who write all the wise things ap'
pearing in the newspapers are
wholly unselfish, and they are
always anxious that the public
and the universe at large shall
share in the honor and glory
which is theirs, hence the ''l'
never obtrudes itself in public,
the individual preferring to con-
ceal himself behind a plural pro-
noun in which his personality is
unrevealed and his identity un'
disclosed" >.. -

To The Teachers.

Inasmuch as Prof Watkins has
said that he would leave the time
and place for holding the institute
for the Southern District of Sharp
county to the teachers, | will
say that l have talked with the
citizens of Cave City and they
are more than anxious to have
the institute in our town. Our
people propose to board the
teachers at So per week, and we
most respectfully ask the teachers
to vote for Cave City. We know
that we are in one edge of the
county, but we guarantee that
our people will treat you so kind
ly you will not regret having
come. Now, we hope that you
will give US the honor OF this
gathering, as we have never had
an institute. Our people will
give you good fare at the price
named--and the price will not
advance after the teachers are
here.
| think the best time for this
institute would be to begin June
80.

COUNTERFEIT NAVAJO BLANKETS.

From The Philadelphia Post.
The demand for Navajo blankets has become
go enormous that the actual output of those
much priced articles Of aboriginal manufacture
does not begin TO supply the market. Accord
ingly, they are being turned out in Germany in
immense quantities, and imported thence
into this country, being forwarded in solid car
load lots to California, which is the chief centre
OF the trade
Genuine Navajo blankets made from wool
grown by Indians OF that tribe woven in their
own primitive designs (Which are singularlv like
some Of the ancient Egyptian patterns used in
textile fabrics woven in the days of the earliest
Pharaohs). and dyed with colors obtained froro
various earths and other sources are compare
lively rare. When an amateur in such matters
exhibits specimen, proud of its possession the
chances are that il is only an imitation
Navajo blankets in large quantities are mann
factured In Jersey City, and many OF them are
very pretty and satisfactory. so long as nobody
knows the difference. The Indians themselves
naturally. have been delighted to find in thei,
weaving work a source of large revenue and
not being able to obtain sufficient supplies of
wool from their own focks OF sheep, they buy
from dealers thousands of pounds OF the ordi-
nary knitting wool that goes under the name of
Germantown wool" Thanks to these helms
the Navajo blanket is becoming a very familiar
and even common commercial article.

Correspondence of The London News
The members Of the Babylonan expedition
sent out by the German Oriental Society have
in spite OF heat, wind and dust, held out stead
fastly at their post, and have brought to light
many valuable memorials which with those
already unearthed. will Some day give faithful
temples and palaces, and its social. intellectual
and religious life. Up to now four hundred in
scribed clay slabs have been found in the
centre of the ruins of Babylon Of only two
they pearls of Babylonlan literature One
tablet contains a great part Of a celebrated
Babyonian compendium which explains the
Ba bylonian cuneiform characters. 1t is a very
ancient dictionary, of great linguistic interest
and of exceptional value practically The sec

which chanted by the singers of the Temple
of Esagila on the return of the god Marduk to
his sanctuary Marduk, or Merodach was the
of Ea, and one Of the twelve great gods of
the Assyro- Rabylonian Pantheon His tenple

had a sanctuary at Sippar He is twice men

which has been found after the periodical
procession to that grand pantheon which has
been brought TO light by the expedition, and
which it is hoped, by the winter will be COM
pletely excavated
In the mean time Herren Koldewey and An

temple of Ador, or Nneb, the tutelar god of
physicians, hitherto quite unknown.

these discoveries, which has just been pub
