THE INTELLIGENT COMPOSITOR.
Some of the Bulls Which he Makes.
From the Tw o Republics.!
I might write a column aud pos-
sibly a book on the subject of bulls
that Mexican printers make butthen
it is not fair to judge them by their
work in English for it is a language
they do not speak; but while on the
subject I will put on record some few
of the many typographical errors
which have come under my eyes.
To begin I will cite that of a com-
positor who in a furniture advertise-
ment where cradles and coffins were
spoken of conjointly said they were
"the apples and oranges (alpha and
omega) of human life.”
In Jim Fisk’s palmiest days the
editor of a paper in which I was em-
ployed wrote an article descriptive of
a “turnout” (horses and carriage)
with which Fisk was just then para-
lyzing New York. The learned black-
smith who set it up read the word
“turnout” “tomcat” and so had it all
through the article.
A clipper on the Atlanta Constitu-
tion once wrote this: “The Texas
Pacific is now running out thirty
miles from Texarkana.” The proof
sheet read: “The Texas Pacific is now
shipping wintry mules from Texas
races.”
About the time the above was got-
ten off another compositor on the
same paper in setting a take of tele-
graph about the Turko-Russian war
gravely announced that the “Rus
sians had captured the Topeka Post”
(for Schipka Pass.)
After the death of the Emperor Na-
poleon the telegraph in describing
his appearance as he lay in bls coffin
said that "his features are placid but
careworn.” The typo read the last
words "can work” and so set it. The
same artist on the same day spoke of
the “attitude of the Brazilian goat to-
ward the Antilles.”
I have seen the abrevlation “gov’t”
translated “goat” innumerable times
but only once have I seen it reversed
and "goat” rendered “government”
—this by a man who was always look-
ing out to avoid the first "named
“bull” he setting up a discription of
an "Angora government.”
On the day that R. E. Lee died a
Richmond dispatch said that “Gen-
eral gloom prevails.” The proof had
it this way: “Gen. Gloom” etc.
After Horace Greeley’s death the
presidential electors of Georgia when
they went to cast their votes having
no candidates to give them to cast
them in a complimentary way for dif-
ferent persons. The editor of the
paper I was working on in speaking
of the matter said they “scattered 1
their votes like a coquette her smiles.” 1
Imagine his horror when this con-
fronted him: "Scattered their votes J
like a cognac for miles.”
Several years ago while a noted '
southern author now dead was on a '
tour in Europe iu one of his letters
he wrote that after visiting a certain '
locality on the next day he would go ।
to Charing Cross. The types had it. J
"chasing crows.”
During the eastern complications 1
ten or twelve years ago a certaiu ।
Mahmoud Jan figured rather prom- '
inently. One night a compositor got 1
a take of telegraph of which that <
name was the first word. Heglanced <
at it and with an imprecation on the
“fool operator who don’t know what .
month it is” he proceeded to erect it
thus: “Mahmoud Dec. s”—making
a date line of it. i
One of the finest breaks I ever saw ’
was made by a proof reader. He 1
came across tbe'liue: 1
Aye springes to catch woodcock. I
He was not up on “Hamlet” and
never having seen the word ]
"springes’ of course knew there was
no such. So he changed the ptoa y
making it "syringes.” The man who 1
set the take was an amateur actor 1
and perfectly familiar with the line 1
but the most be could effect with the 1
proof reader was a compromise. The ;
p was let stand but the e had to :
come out and so it went “springs.” 1
I will close with this not for want
of material so much as for fear of en- 1
croaching too much on your space by
recounting the feat of a printer who
in an article describing a mendicant 1
said he wore a “thread bone coat” and i
had on bls face a “necktie flush.”

OUR FRIEND THE BED BUG.
If you would quickly and permanently
rid vour bed of bugs put a small boxes
ROUGH ON RATS in a pint bottle of
benzine shake well when using. Douces
the mixture into the cracks crevices
holes and openings of the bedstead. It
will turn their toes up rapidly. Then
mix another small box of ROUGH ON
RATS thoroughly with a quarter pound
of lard with this mixture till all holes
openings cracks and crevices in the bed.
These two methods are warranted never
to fail; to be effective and lasting. Cut
this out for directions. (2)-lyr

. Andrew Carnegie's Opinion.
Special Dispatch to the Globe-Democrat.
Washington D. C. Nov. s.—Mr.
Andrew Carnegie author of "Tri-
umphant Democracy” is in Wash-
Ington on businesss with the Navy
. Department. With a good humored
laugh he replied in this way to a ques-
tion about the election:
“I want to say that it is simply a
case of history repeating itself. There
was never yet a triumphant party
that did not feel the effect of a reverse
wave during the muddle of its
success. Politics is simply a com-
bination of reactions. They come
in cycles of two years and
fortunate is the party that
gets the benefit of the reaction that
comes in years when it counts. It is
a see-saw aud you can easily see how
I’d prefer to be on the side that is
down when the bump comes. It
hurts to be on the other side when
the board breaks. See? As to thlg
election it seems to me that there was
a reversal of things on account of per-
sonal bickering that had*to be fought
to a finish. They have brough their
result and now I am sure they will
be healed. Two years will bring
about a complete change. The storm
that is just passing will then have giv-
en place to calm witbin our own ranks.
The troubles between leaders will
have been succeeded by harmony
and out of what now looks to be a
political chaos will result the grand-
est of victories and it will be a vic-
tory that will count for it will mean
a presidency.
“As to the administration did you
say? Well I want you to note this:
President Harrison is a growing man
He was never so popular with the
masses as he is today and he will
continue to grow in strength and
popularity throughout the remainder
oPhis present term of office. Pro-
phecies? Isn’t that a prophecy? I
want to say that he is going to de-
velop strength from this time for-
ward. No I don’t agree with
you that the tariff Zpro-
duced this effect. I think that it was
a case of personal feuds. In Pennsyl-
vania there was a fight between the
leaders and it was the republican
party that defeated itself. When the
harmony comes as it will come before
two years bave gone by woe be unto
the people that try to get between
the two factions. They will be so
close together that some one will be
hurt. Now as to the tariff there can
not well be any more legislation be-
tween now and 1892 and the McKin-
ley bill will long before then have
vindicated itself working out its
own salvation as it were. lam per-
sonally aware of the fact that a
number of European capitalists are
just now on the point of bringing
their capital and their enterprise to
this country. They are hesitating be-
cause they do not know just how long
the American people intend to ad- 1
here to the principal of protection. I
am not certain what effect this elec-
tion will produce on their minds but
I can say that it will be a great loss
to the country if they should be
frightened off. I don’t mean to be
downcast do I? And yet I am a good
republican* No I think that yes’ter-
day means salvation and I am glad
of it.”

Philosophers on Newspapers.
New York Ledger.
We have lately learned through the '
reminiscences of their disciples how
two of the most eminent thinkers of .
our time—Schopenhauer and Emer-
son—regarded the modern newspaper.
Schopenhauer it must be remem-
bered was fond of reading the Eng-
lish journals and particularly the
London Times; it was therefore the
highest type of the daily newspaper
that he had in bis mind. He found
much more in it however to
blame than to praise. He used to
cp.ll the newspaper the second-
hand of the watch of history ; add-
ing that not only is it of less *
noble metal than the two other .
bands but it seldom goes right. He
points out what indeed can hardly
be disputed that in editorial articles
which play the part of chorus to the
cotemporary events exag-
geration is as essential as it is upon
the stage. They inevitably make the I
utmost possible out of every occur-
rence. s
In Schopenhauer’s opinion the re-
sultant excess of emphasis made
newspapers a source of contagion to
style in literature. He also thought
that the system of anonymity breads
a disingenuous spirit which affects
the form no less than the matter of
newspaper utterances.
On the other band Emerson took a
more optimistic though still discrim-
inating view of newspapers. He
recognized that "newspapers have
done much to abbreviate expression
and so to improve style.” He fore-
saw too though be was speaking a
quarter of a century ago that daily
journals were to occupy a very large
share of attention during our genera-
tion. He added that "the most stu-
dious and engaged man can only
neglect them at his cost.” At the
same time he cautions such men to
read daily newspapers eclectically
and not omnivorously column by
column. "Remember” he says
"that newspapers are made for every-
body and don’t try to get what isn’t
meant for you.”
According to Emerson there is a
great secret in knowing what to keep
out of the mind as well as what to
put in.
