MISTAKES OF REPORTERS.
Some Ridiculous Transpositions Of
Famous Sayings.

ISAAOuS SeaJ"6S'
T. L. De Vinne, New York, in his
book, THE Practice of Typography" :"
gives some funny mistakes Of report
ers.
A speaker made this statement:
I'm these days clergymen are ex-
pected to have the wisdom and learn
ing of Jeremy Taylor"
The reporter wrote and the COM
positor repeated, "* - the wisdom
and learning of a joarneyman tailor" :"
Another speaker quoted these
lines:
"Oh, come, thou goddess fair and
free,
In heaven yclept Euphrosyne.
They were printed as the reporter
understood the speaker:
"Oh, come, thou goddess fair and
free,
In heaven she crept and froze her
knee"
Another orator quoted this line
from Tennyson's "Locksley Hall"
Better fifty years of, Europe thar
cycle of Cathay."
But the quotation was written anc
printed:
Better fifty years of Europe than
circus in Bombay"
One of the worst perversions of
hackneyed quotation - incorrectly
given by the speakers this, which
seems to be the joint work Of the
jealous reporter and the equally reck-
less printer:
"Amicus Plato, amicus Socrates,
sed major veritas."
"T may cuss Plato, may cuss So
. crates said Major Veritas."

byterian college, at least hundred
rifles have been bought, it is said, by
white citizens in Greenville recently.
Amos is now in Baltimore, and it Is
said that he is afraid to come back
to this state. Recently committee
of citizens waited upon Amos and
told him 10 leave town, and this he
decided to Go at once.
It is charged against him that he
has been trying to intensity race feel
ing; also, it is said, he fired the
minds of the negroes in other ways,
causing them to deface the Confeder-
ate monument at Abbeville.
