We wish some of our correspondents would
spell correctly and quote correctly. Attention
to the former would save US the trouble Of reyis
ing their orthographv, and careful observance
Of the latter would protect US from one Of three
evils, which evils are these:


lst We must publish their communications
as they are written, and have the type-Setters ab-
sed for ignorance. Or


Cd. We must refer to some fact in the report
of some Secretary of something to correct a
gross blunder about something; or


3d. We must bear the odium Of trucking to
non-sensate aspirants, for the sake Of conciIiat-
ing them.


Viewing the consequences which must result
from such indscriminate publication Of commu-
nications, We will enjon upon our correspondents


lst. To condense their ideas and trim off all
suPerfuities, ifthey wish them read by sensible
men.


I'd. To study Comly's SpelIipg-book.


Sd. To reod at least half as much as they
write


BY complying with the above rules they will
save US much trouble.
