And he was not greatly surprised when one of these forms took on the outline of a | dwarfish human being and floated slowly toward him.

Next morning, while we were in bed we heard boys ery ing: "All about the murder," and my husband said, "That's a good thing. He can't tell who did it," The next day we left Buffalo for Cleveland. The story of the murder got out through niy husband's sister. I was talking with her one day and she spid something about my repu- tation not being good. I was angry and I said to her: "Well, your brother killed Gibbs in Buffalo." She reported what I had said to the Cleveland police and set them working on the case. Doth Mr. and Mre.

The seript of the Marquis of | Salisbury and that of Mr. Sexton are in | noteworthy contrast, but these imstances are rather the excoptioms which prove | the rule; and many contemporary writ- | ers might consider themselves in similar | circumstances to the gentleman who, | being an indifferent penman, wrote to a {riend: "Out of respect to you, I write with my own hand; but to facilitate | reading, I have asked ufy secretary to | send you a copy of my letter." A FURTHER FRUITFUL SOURCE. of misprints is the fact that many auth- ors persist in employing the most extra- ordinary contractions and symbols, and trust to the intelligence of the printer for their accurate solution. If he see and read everythiug through the same spec: tacle as the author, well'and good; but il not, he is revilel (and generally un- | justly) as impenetrably stupid. It is not any part of his province to either eluci- date or play havoc with the manuscripts which are entrusted to bim; but there are people who seem to entertain the en- tirely mistaken v that he ¢hould reeti- fy all the blunders in grammar and or- thography which may com n his way. The clergyman, therefore, who supplied to the 1c press the manuscript of his sermon on Temperance. could not rea- onably blame the compositor, who in "setting up" the copy faithfully ad- hered to the original; but it must have ; 4 readers of the 4 v --t ed an e ¢ ire ersonnl expericpees: "Only last Sab- ath, dear' brethren, a young woman in the parish 1 y suddenly whilst 1 was pi wpel in a state of | beastly imtoxiention." It would, too, be gross presumption in a compositor to interfere with an editorial comment; and hence--although it doubtless appears somewhat startling--no correction was attempted in the note v h was fixed to a contribution iu the 'Poets' Corner" of a Cumberland journal: "These lines were written nearly fifty years | ago, by a gentlemen who has for several years laim in the grav for his own | amusement."
