This is a t 4 from
night iaclnl1 every
which could possibly land its way
type.
In the present awe we may group un-
der it a few swop* of the more eons -
mon errors in print, not only of timer
directly attributable to the printer, but
aLo of the mistakes resulting from •
loose style of composition, as well as
those which may occasionally creep into
the "copy" even of the esreful ie the
burry of writing fur the press. Both
writer and printer, nu doubt, repudiate
them, but the disinterested will proba-
bly decide that each is responsible for a
Khan.
In a speech on temperance, not very
long ago, Sir Wilfrid Lawson was report-
ed to have alluded to the "spirit of reti-
cenoe that exaheth a nation," but, of
course, the teetotal baronet had used
tho word "righteousness" where "reti-
cence" did duty. This mistake was doubt-
less due to the similarity of the oonso-
nental outline for the two words in the
short -hand most generally employed. In
the course of a discourse on the Holy
Land recently, • lecturer said that, al-
though improvements in this respect had
come into operation in all other parts of
the world, the Easter traveller still re-
tains his sandals, and next morning waa
horrified to find himself asserting in •
local print that the Eastern traveller
still "retails his *candaht."
An orator, in describing the enthusi-
asm with which a speech of his had been
received, made use of the expression,
"At that moment the shoats of ten thou-
sand democrats rent the air." But the
picture was presented in a somewhat
modified form to the readers of the jour-
nal that printed it: "At that moment
the snouts of ten thousand democrats
rent the air."
It might possibly be difficult to decide
whether the writer or printer was in
error when s leading London daily paper
made Lord Derby quote the poet thus :
"That climax of all earthly ill.
That inflammation of our earthly bills."
An absurd blunder appeared in the
Parliamentary report of the Daily Tele-
graph on the occasion of Mr. Gladstone's
resolutions on the Eastern policy of Lord
Beaconsfield's Government. There a
right honorable gentleman was repre-
sented as accounting fur the action of
another member of the House by the
statement that he had "sat at the feet of
the Gamebird of Birmingham," an allu-
sion to his perception which was not so
intelligible as the rendering of other
journals "the Gamaliel of Birmingham."
Perhaps Irish reporters, owing to the
recognized tendency of the soil and cli-
mate,' are privileged in matters of this
kind. One of them, in describing the
result of a recent conflict between the
police and the people in which fire -arms "Open all night.- - [Harper's.
were used, writes: "In the union infir-
horse and car." "Wasted,

Here is soother: "A vacancy occurs for
• little gid in the family of s motherly
lady requiring kind but firm tr..tm.ot,"
An advertiser in the London lisawderd
evidently thinks a beast of burden may
en'ertain an objection to berry • person
of indifferent moral character when he
writes: "Wanted. a quiet puny for an
invalid young gentleman that has no
vicious habits." A nice child was de-
scribed a short time ago in the Daily
Tdegrupie "Wanted, a nurse for an in-
fant between twenty-five and thirty, a
member of the Church of England and
without followers." An auctioneer, ad-
vertising in $ Bettis% paper, shows the
possession of some curious notions of
ornithology, when, in describing a pro-
perty for sale, he states: "The mountain
is well stocked with hares, rabbits, and
other wild fowL"
The "other" strongly reminds one of
the daily newspaper's ''tall but respecta-
bly dressed man" of the police courts.
Such practices as painting and putting
the hair in papers are not entirely un-
known in this ootmtry, but they have
scarcely as yet become recognized family
duties, except in the household of an
advertiser in a London daily. who some
time ago required "a house suitable for
a small family that has been recently
papered and painted, and is in good or-
der."- There are some strange sheep to
be met with in the British colonies if a
New Zealand settler meant what he
wrote when he announced that he want-
ed "an industrious man to take charge
of three thousand sheep who can speak
Spanish." Were it not that a young
limy of linguistic attainments would be
unlikely to hide her light under a bush-
el, one might be disposed to conjecture
that the docile animals had been pupils
of a colonial governess who lately an-
nounced that she "can do all kinds of
sewing and embroidery except music."
Different commodities, we know, are
often inclosed in one case, but it is sel-
dom we see so incongruous a mixture as
that contemplated by the person who
"wanted an ice chest to hold two hun-
dred pcunds of ice and a hardness." A
chemist advertises in his window, "1rti-
ficial eyes," immediately beneath which,
on the same placard, are the words,

.Main their breakfast and make the con-

This train is run especially to connect
with the new express trains which the
Worthen Pacific, and St. Paul Minne-
apolis and Manitoba Railroads (the lat-

It is important, and travelers should
bear it in mind, that there are ne car-

mary lies John Smith with his shattered
leg, which was amputated on Tuesday
last." Ordinary mortals might have
inagined that the surgeon would have
caused the shattered member to be re-
moved from the immediate vicinity of
the crippled patient. That Ireland had
a strict monopoly of this class of campo-
sition can hardly be sustained if this be
correctly credited to a Glasgow paper's
account of a shipping disaster: "The
captain swain ashore, as did also the
stewardess. She was insured for three
thousand pounds, and carried two huh-
dred tone of pig -iron."
Now here are incredulous blunders to be
met with mete than in thecomposition of '
advertisers, due, no doubt, in so.ne mea-
sure, to the restraint iutpoaed by limited
space, mud it is scarcely puasible to look
through the columns devoted to these in
any of the principal daily papers without
meeting numerous instances of the ina-
bility of many persons to state exactly
what they want, and of very loose use of
words and phrases, frequently giving rise
t) amusing ambiguity. Thus some one
advertising in the London Tini,4 an-
nounced that "two sisters want wash-
ing," while some one else in the interest
of an enfant terriole required els hand -
se me Shetland pony suitable for a child
with a long mane and tail." Everybody
has heard of the lady whose idea 1,1 her
own physique is ingeeinusly conveyed
in the intimatton tliat she has for dis-
posal "a splendid lady's gold watch." It
is not alone "splendic'" ladies who pert
with their watches in this way. for.every
day the public are informed, through the
tette medium, that there is far age an
"excellent lady's gold watch," "a beau-
tiful lady's watch," or "a small goldfawed
lady's watch." Women of peculiar per-
sonal appearance, ton, t.ecasionally en-

we have for sale "a massive gentleman's

sdopt this style sof expression are ready
to enter into a defence of it by an artu-
went respecting adjectives and their re-
lation to nouns. But what cxcuse will
be advanced by the author of the follow•
nig, which appeared a few months ago
in the London Times, showing on the
part of the advertiser ensile extraordin-
ary. floss respecting horseflesh: "For

"Twenty-four years' experience," says
an eminent physician, convinces me that
the only cure for "Nervous Exhaustion"
and weakness of the generative organs
is to repair the waste by giving Brain
and Nerve Foods, and of all the reme-
dies 1 have used Mack's Magnetic Medi-
dicine is the best. This remedy is now
sold by all our Druggists at 50 cents per
box, or 6 for $2.50, and on receipt of an

The first idea that occurs in a very
prolonged retr.'pect is the pro.digioua
change that has taken place in the social
condition of the country. I feel as if
living in a new world, yet with the wont-
ed tokens of antiquity observable as of
yore. t►ld notions and prejudices have
silently passed away. The denser forms
of ignorance have disappeared. Many
pretentious bugbears have been explod-
ed. Grievous indurations of poverty in
many quarters have been superseded by
srmptonu of individual and national
prosperity. There used to be frequent
uproar+ about the anticipated ruin of
labor by the introduction of machinery.
Although machinery has in almost all
the industrial arts been freely introduc-
ed, there is more employment of lab•r
than ever. By the removal of taxes
which pressed severely not only on the
absolute necessaries of life, but on, many
articles in common use, a great saving
has been effected. All imported food
was taxed; salt was taxed to tore than
thirty times its natural value; soap was
taxed; paper .of all kinds was taxed;
newspapers were taxed: candles were
taxed; window -lights were taxed; spring -
carts, such as are now largely used by
tradesman, were taxed; post -petters were
tated according to distance. so that some
people could not afford to receive them
At one time, as I recollect, tea was sold
at eight shillings • iound; and sugar was
four times the price it now is. Through
the removal of so many exactions, and
from other causes, the humbler classes
are sew latter paid for their labor, bet-
ter fed. batter clothed, and better hous-
ed; they ars likewise much more thrifty,
as it is testified by the large deposits in
the flati.gs banks. Perhaps the most
fringe thing of all is the change as
to facility of transit by sea and land
through the afTency of steam, while tele-
graphic communications are effected with
1 1h0 ewiflm•m d lightning. Life may not
be eslead•d is pain' id years, but time
is immoswly ecowwnnwd, and • ran
may now do more than double whet he
eould attempt to overtake 60 to 60 years
since. This, indeed, may be called one
of the prime fatten in national advance-
ment wheels le seldom adverted t...
