crescent-shaped, and the rays were re-

crescent-shaped part left at the top had
the horns turned downward; but the OPP
posite was true Of the sunbeams. for tho
eclipse yesterday morning noticed the
same phenomenon. I took piece Of

could be followed by watching the cres-

AS rays Of light move In straight lines,
the rays from tho upper part Of tho

The Editor and the Printer

i ~ u t
One Of tho greatest anoyances Of news
naper work is tho Typographical error.
Tho error which speaks for itself does
not matter; 1t is the error that mas
oucrades and appears to DO right that
annoys and makes gray hairs, The other
day. for example, we wrote this SEN
tence: but in spite Of the disagree
mcnts of Democrats on non-essentlals,
they conserve and vitnlizc those great
underlying principles of popular govern
mont upon which the republic was found
ed" The sentence was printed: "But
in spite of their disagreements on nom
essentials, they can serve and utilize
those great underlying principles" etc.
| The following day we spoke OF tho lack
of uniformity in the lntra rates OF tho
Virginia railroads. 1t appeared In tho
paper as ultra rates.
or course, we are not trying to catch
IN withsth errors. They have their run
ming boots on and they are gone. We
refer to thom by way of.informing our
readers that the editor Is not always
so silly as he is made TO appear in
| print
But the wonder Is that In tho rusl,
and hurry Of preparing copy, and having
1t sot for II daily newspaper,lthe errors
arc not more numerous and moro en-,
bnrrassing.

we would suggest to Mr. Hay that
tho people spoke pretty plainly on, OF
tho subject on the end of August, When.
over eighty thousand Democrats went 70

extraordinary, and we cannot but con
