Newspaper Writins-When 1rvi

Newspaper Writins.-When Irwin
Cobb was questioned regarding his
literary methods the other day in New
York, he made the following admls-
sion:
"I plug away at the machine about
four hours a day. If turned out 2,5O0
words in that time, feel good about
it. 1 can't dash off stuff. l guess the
guys who talk about dashing off
masterpiece don't dash more than an
inch at a time.
Newspaper training is good in one
way-it brings experience to fction
writer better and quicker than any
other occupation. It's bad in another
| way, for it tends to too much speed in
writing and too much carelessness OF
the finer points.
II was once a 5.000-wOrd man. l
could write 5000 words about a cat
fight, but l couldn't write more than
| 1000 words about the combined trage-
dies of all the various worlds. No
subject nor plot could wiring more
| than 5000 words out of me. Then II
happened that Dire Circumstances
| forced me to write page story about
the development Of mining camp in
Kentucky. 1t had to be 10000 words
long-just had to be. So l wrote 10000
| words, and now ] could write 10000
| words about eating bag Of peanuts
but / won't.
Cobb's description Of his methods Is
interesting, especially his assertion
that newspaper training tends to too
much speed in writing. and too much
carelessness of the finer points,
The worker on a daily newspaper Is
always under the keen whip of neces-
sity. He rarely, if ever, has time to
review or revise his matter. is never
given opportunity to consider the finer
points. No other class Of brain work
ers in the world labor with such haste
and the marvel is that newspaper
English is kept at such high stand
ard. The reporter who can't grind out
10, 900 words per day and keep up the
pace seven days per week has mighty
little chance of holding his job.-Jack-
son News. 7

the retirement of Gen. Scott from the
supervision Of the northern army, the
controversy in regard to Gen. Beau
regard various items of minor inter-
est, and above all to us the progress
and result of the fight at Port Royal,
have been the chief topics Of talk and
speculation.
We regard the action Of "Old Fuss
and Feathers" as Of very little conse-
quence either way. The sanctimoni-
GUS homage and crocodile wall Of the
cabinet over his advancing years and
infirmities," is we'll set off by the flor
i'd and, we must believe, insincere
compliments Of the "old man elo-
quent" in return. General: After
your long and brilliant career, you re-
tire by unanimous approval of the
cabinet this honor
overwhelms mel" Alas! poor Yorick!
Were we to write an epitah for Scott,
to be read by all posterity, it should
be: Poor is the man who hugs the
shadow Of a phantom until it turns in
his embrace to the corpse Of ghost
You will doubtless see, and l hope
will publish the card Of Gen. Beaure-
gard, in recent number of the Rich
mond Whig.-This will be enough.
There is not purer patriot, as there
is not better general living, we
Judge, than Beauregard. Why single
h &c
should be entertained, much less pub
lished at this critical time. is hard to
understand; except that there Is al
ways during these luminous nights OF
earth's history, as Of her seasons, a
mongrel pack Of ours whose CHIEF
glory it is to bey the moon. We dis
miss this disagreeable subject with
single remark from Beauregard's card
which may answer in the absence of
its publication. IF" says he, certain
minds cannot understand the differ
ence between patriotism, the highest
civic virtue, and office-seeking, the
lowest civic occupation, l pity them
from the bottom Of my heart"
We had the news last night that
they were fighting at Winchester; and
| that "Stonewall Jackson's brigade had
been ordered thither, and five regi-
ments to Leesburg. This news com
ports with a dispatch, announcing the
forward movement has been dete'
mined on by Lincoln. The design ap-
pears to be, to weaken our centre,
scatter our forces. and conquer them
piecemeal. 1t is enough to know that
Johnson and Beauregard have mas
tered every strategic movement they
are capable of; and are ready to meet
them on any field they can occupy.
Meanwhile, everything is as quiet on
our right as a sleeping infant.-The
circus is certainly advancing steadily
if coming at although not sign
of the storm as big as mans hand,
is given.
Our greatest anxiety is not for our
selves, but for our fellow soldiers on
the coast.-For the last three days
the telegraphic olumns Of the Rich

diverse and contradictory accounts OF
fighting at Port Royal If the state

THE BREvlTY OF ENGLISH
REQUIRES Less Words to Express the
Same Ideas.

Same Ideas.
At the international road congress
last year the reports Of all the sections
were printed in parallel columns in
French, German and English, the
three versions being exact translations
of each other, according to the Man
chester Guardian. The English report
invariably finished first, sometimes II
won by whole page. AS a rule the
French report was the most dinuse
This brevity Of English Is partly ex-
planned by the fact that English Is
made up to an extraordinary extent OF
words Of one syllable. Its nouns, hav-
ing unlike the German, lost all their
infections except the possessive g,
have become mere roots, a very large
proportion Of the monosyllabic. In
Germany a monosyllabic root practi-
cally always gets an extra syllable
tackled on by way Of se-ending. In
the second place English has little OF
the elaborate and explicit machinery
VI SlTuCluIC ludl hho, oo ~
saves space in propositions and such
paraphernalia. Instead English has
what the grammarians call incipient
agglutination-that Is, sticking words
together in groups without either prep
ositions or case endings to connect
them. An example of the former kind
Of brevity Is a word like Earthquake"
two syllables compared with the Ger
man "erdbeben," three syllables, ana
the French "tremblemen de terre,' five
syllables. An example of the terse-
ness Of English would be phrase like
Il have been to the house and have
now come back" every word a single
syllable. In a telegram this would be
just as Ineligible in the form Been
house now back" You cannot carry
that sort of thing far in any other
European language.
