Julius Poppe, Anderson. J. A. Grigsby, Ridgway. H. W. LawBon, Abbeville. John B. O'Neill, Newberry. A correspondent of the American Xews Reporter comes to the defence of the muoh-abuBed ?'intelligent compositor." He says: It is a notioable faot?and the statement can be verified?that manu? script is often placed in the hands of compositors that cannot bo deciphered by the writers themselves. How would some of them like to see their effusions in print exactly as thoy put it down on paper? They, doubtless, would bo hor? rified, and deny the paternity Of their offspring. Circuses have to pay a license tax of $1,000 per day for exhibiting in North Carolina. This was adopted oy the Le? gislature as a reform measure. The members counted on paying the State debt by this circuitous means until it was found the' clowns would not come there at all. A Delaware man married a woman be? cause she was deaf, and ho thought she'd e'eep her tongue. So she did, but when he fell into the well and yelled himself hoarse trying to make her hear, ho wished that sho had ears a foot long and could hear a whisper a mile away. A Philadolphion named Keelcr has discovered a vapor which is far more powerful than steam as a motor, costs nothing, takes up but little space, and will move steamers around the world as cheaply as sailing vessels, and will re? duce freights to one-half rates. London now claims to possess the largest gas meter in the world. Its capacity is Biaied to be the enormous quanity of 150,000 cubic feet of gas per hour, and the measuring drum delivers for each revolution 1,000 feet. Facts are constantly proving what a lucrative profession journalism is. A young Kentucky editor, whoso paper is email and has been in existence, a short time only*, has already $25,000 cash in hand?just left him by a relative. The latest thing out in the way of cele? brations is a re-union on the grounds of Dr. Bollard, of New Haven, a practicing physician for fifty years, of about 1,000 persons at whose birth he professionally assisted. If everybody could feel themselves able to paint up their houses and white-1 wash their fences, and plant flowers all about their* premises and invite birds to come and inhabit their lots, it would add much to their happiness. The great constitutional question now I before the country is: In quitting Grant's Cabinet, did Attorney-General Williams resign his office and the Government, landau both? He who betrays another's secret, be? cause he has quarreled with him, was never worthy of the name of friend; a breaoh of kindness will not justify a breaoh of trust At a, spiritual seance in Paris ?lately, the spirit of Cartouohe, the famous thief, was called up and came so practically I that nearly every one present subsequent-1 ly missed a watch or purse. Josh Billings has been writing for the Erosa twenty years, and he doesn't know ow to spell any better now than the day he commenced. On the Japanese coast there has lately I been captured a whale, in the stomach I of which was found a hide bag contain? ing goid and silver coins. The boy who finds pleasure in the suf-1 ferings of weaker things will never be a | nobio, generous, kindly man?a gentle? man. Here is a first-rate conundrum: Does | the Lord love a man who spends at chnoh festival the money be owes his | washer-woman? The best writer is he who can convey I the clearest thoughts in the shortest] space. Gentle behavior and liberality will procure the lovo even of our enemies.
