NenseptApor Errors.
[ From Gie N. Y. Advertiser's Gazette.]
Grammatical errors, errors in punctuation
and composition, and typographical absurdi
ties, are of such common occurrence in the
every day literature of the age as to excite no
feeling in the reader's mind, except it be one
of wonder at the carelessness of the printer,
stupidity of the proof-reader, or ignorance of
the wriur. The more charitable, however,
who in a degree have been initiated into the
mysteries of the "art preservative of art,"
knowing the hundreds of metallic pieces gath
ered in the compositor's stick :from the va-,
rions parts of his mysterious citse that go to
make up a single paragraph, are mindful of
the ditlicultieS umlaut upon any publication,
"And regard IS a necessity what others look
upon as inexcusable blunders. It is related
that a celebrated English author once deter
mined to publish a book which should be
free from every imperfection and error. To
accomplish this result, the most careful and
kxperienced proof readers were first secured
---to follow each other upon the sheets, and
then, after several revisions had been made,
nJean proofs were posted upon the walls of
the University Library, and a reward of a
guinea offered for every error that could be
shown upon them. After beingijtipjected to
thir; careful and searching ordeal the work ,
was prono tinted pgrfPFt, in'Prery part and sent ,
to the press, but upon being issued therefrom,
lo! a most glaring typographical error was
found on the title page. We premise these
temarks in defence of what follows, and at
once give the readers of the Gazelle the col
lection we have for several months been gath
ering for this purpose from our exchanges.
Erroneous in construction, and of such a na
ture as at best to defy the printer's art, we
may unquestionably set down such as these:
A Wisconsin paper says:
"During a fierce thunder storm near Mount
Desert, the lightning came down through the
roof of a house and bed, upon which lay a
husbdnd and wife, throwing the man out of
bed, thence into the cellar and out through
the drain, and then plowed up the ground to
the barn yard, where it killed a cow."
A Connecticut editor gives an account of '
a man who "blew out his brains after bidding
his wife good-bye with a shot gun."
The first instance on record of a man's
raising up, "a large family of children by his
own widow," is given in his obituary, taken
from the New York Herald.
"The deceased married many years ago,and
survived his widow, by whom he had a large
fabaily oLchildren."
And while upon so grave a subject let us
chronicle the affecting inscription given by a
New York paper, in an account of a "new
monument recently erected in our village
church-yard:"
"Erected to the memory of John Phillips,
accidentally shot as a mark of affection by
his brother."
Another Wisconsin paper, in describing a
large farm advertised in its columns for sale,
adds:
"The surrounding country is most beautiful;
1 404 'lik,.also, two wagons and a yoke of steers.''
The Independent, in speaking of a new
steam brewery in the town, remarks:
- "We are glad to see imported articles manu
factured at home, at greatly reduced pries."
' The Springfield Reptibtif.an tells of a
horse which ran away in that city, "throwing
out the driver and cutting a severe gash in vine
of his hind legs."
4 he World says that "ex-Governor Andrew
was born in 1818, previous to which event
he had two strokes of apoplexy, one in i hol,
and the other in isoo."
The classic London Spu•lalor makes a
curious slip when it speaks of Matilda Griggs,
who "was stabbed by a lover to whom she
had borne a child in thirteen places. -
A notice of a recent steamboat explosion in
a Western paper ends as follows:
"The captain swam ashore. No did the
chambermaid ; she was insured for .s:i
and loaded with iron.'
An editor referring to patent metallic air
tight coffins, says .
"No person having once tried one of these
coffins will ever use any other."
Here is a peculiar "freak of nature . ' from
the Granite State.
"During a recent severe thunder storm in
our vicinity a cow was struck by lightning
and instantly killed, belonging to the village
physician, who had a beautiful calf four
days old."
A political paper in Minnesota, in adver
tising the election of its candidate, says that
its "standard bearer, Charles E. Flandrau,
'las twice laid down his life to save western
Minnesota from being devastated by the In
dians." Its opponent thinks a "dead corps
.ci) after alla suitable candidate for a dead
party." Wonder which blundered most ?
Trot typographical, it is true, but none t:.e
less amusing are the following :
Au honest farmer writes to the chairman
of an agricultural society :
,e 1 "Gentlemen please put me down on your
Eat of cattle for a bull."
A superintendent of police once made an
entry in his register, from which the follow
mg is an extract
"The prisoners set upon me, called me an
ass, a precious dolt, a scarecrow, a raga
muffin and idiot—all of which I certify to be
true."
A clergyman in his early days denied that
grammar or emphasis had anything to do
'with pulpit exercises. One day he found his
mistake by the laughing created on reading
!his text:
"And he spake to his sons, saying, saddle
the ass, and they saddled him."
1 1,k' An indefinite postponement of religious
vervices was recently announced in a church
,
lit Saratoga Springs. The edifice was under
going repairs, and the congregation met for
• worship In the basement. During the morn
ing service tbe worthy pastor made this an
oaouncernent:
"Our usual afternoon services will tie sus
pended until we can meet in the sanctuary
above. - •
- The Superintendent of a Sunday School re
cently made his annual report, in which he
.recommended that the ‘.‘aduWmembers should
,go to work and do all in their power ' to in
crease-the infant class - fa - bia — sehoor during
• the corning year."
. dt was a Dutchman who said "a pig haa no
ear-marks except a short tail;" and it was a
British magistrate who, being told by a vaga
bond that he was not married, responded :
"That's a good thing for your wife."
At a prayer meeting in New Hampshire,
a worthy layman spoke of a poor,boy "whose
father was a drunkard and whose mother was
a widow."
At a negro ball, in lieu of "Not transfer
able" on the tickets, a notice was posted over
the door, "No gentleman admitted unless he
comes himself.'
An American lecturer of note solemnly said
one evening: "Parents, you have children, if
not, your daughters may have."
A Western editor once wrote: "A corres
pondent asks whether the battle of Water
loo occurred before or after the commence
ment of the Christian era." We answer it
did.
The Hon. Inane N. norris to Gen. Frank
Y. Blair. Jr.
To the Hon. Francis P. Blair—Sin: A
rew days after the nominations were made by
the Convention which assembled in New
York on the 4th instant, I had a conversation
in Washington city with Gen. Cushing, of
Massachusetts, in which that eminent jurist
and politician said: "The simple question to
determine at the election is, shall Gen. Grant
or Frank Blair be President for the next four
years, for if Seymour is elected he will not
live a year." The announcement, I confess,
startled me. I knew Gen. Cushing's intimate
knowledge of Gov. Seymour, and that he
never indulged in an idle remark. I had also
heard it frequently stated that the Governor
had declined the acceptance of public places
in consequence of railing health, but I had
not 'Supposed there was any cause for serious
apprehension in regard to his physical or
mental condition. Recently developed facts,
however,and the sober, deliberate opinions of
those who know him intimately, render it
not only pssiblo, but probable that In the
event of hitt, and your election the respond-
Willy of administering-the government would
soon devolve upon you. It therefore becomes
a question of the gravest moment to look
back into your record And ascertain :'what
manner of man you are," and what security
peace and good government would have in
you. I propose to perform this duty from
time to time, at my leisure moments. The
first inquiry which naturally arises is, why
waathe-nomination—of—the—New—York—Gon—
vention ponlerred anon you? Wl,v were AIL
the Democrats of the West passed by that
you might be Selected? .Not certainly of your
Democracy. If you ever were a Democrat
you were the worst acting one I ever saw.
But you never were a Democrat, and have
spent your whole life in abusing the Demo
cratic party. You do not claim to be a
Democrat—only an opponent of "Radi
cals," the reasons for which will ap
pear in the sequel. You were not made a
candidate because of your services during the
War, though some of your partisans have the
foolish audacity to claim for you that those
services were more important to the country
than Grant's. And Thomas Ewing of Kan
sas was unanimously presented by the sol
diers and sailors who had assembled in New
York. to the Belmont convention, as their
choice for Vice President. Not only was
their request refused but they were turned
away with cold indifference. They did not
look forward to you as their candidate in any
possible contingency. Neither your war
record, your talents and your virtues had at
tracted their attention or captivated their ad
miration. Aside from a few - followers. in
Missouri, nobody had ever thought of
you in connection with any great of- 1
lice. In a moment, in the twinkling of
an eye, as it were, you bounded forward
to consequence, and to use the lan
guage of .Junius in one of his letters to the
Duke of Grafton, "From whatever origin
your influence in this country arises, it is a
phenomenon in the history of human virtue 1
and understanding. Good men can harily
believe the fact; wise men are unable to !lc. ;
count for it; religious men tind exercise for
their faith, and make it the last effort of their
piety not to repine against Providence." One
who reads your letter of acceptance hardly
knows which to be startled at most, the bold
ness of your assurance or the indecency of
your language. Striking out on the direct
line of revolution, yet assuming to yourself
great purity of purpose and a lofty patriot
ism, you have betrayed your design by the
care you have taken to conceal it. To ob
scure your own atrocious object you assail
Gen. Grant as inviting the people to a "feast
of despotism and death," when you are invit
ing them to a new feast of blood.
Even despotism would be preferable
to that anarchy you would turn
loose among them to pile up the dead on
the door-sills of the North for the benefit of
the Prestons, and the flumptons, and the
Forrests, into whose service you have en
tered, and who brought you forward as a
candidate, while their garments are still red
with the precious blood of our martyred sol
'diers who fell in defence of their country s
flag, which these traitors were endeavoring
to strike down, and the Union with it. It is
enough to appal the stoutest heart to look
upon this scene of National debasement and
shame. Verily there is but one step between
this people and another civil conflict. The
most noted rebels are already dictating the
national candidates, and you embraced each
other with all the cordiality of old political
friends, professedly entertaining the same
views and purposes of government. How
would th'e British statesman, how would
the statesmen of any country on
earth except our own, appear in an assembly
with traitors, confederating with them to
seize the government on their joint account
and for their joint benefit 1 One of the most
remarkable features of your letter is its total
want of modesty. j Hear, hear.] "Die is
sue," you say,"upon which the contest turns
is clear, and cannot be distorted by the so
phistries of our adversaries. They all resolve
themselves into the old and ever recurring
struggle of a few men to absorb the political
power of the nation. This effort, under every
conceivable name and disguise, has al ways
characterized the opponents of the Demo
cratic party." Thus you aflirm that the issue
upon which the present contest turns is the
old and ever recurring one of a few men to
absorb the political power of the nation,
and ynu add, "This effort, under every
conceivable name and design, has al
wags characterized the opponents of the
Democratic party - . To transpose your
language it means this that the Democratic
pa: ty has always opposed the wicked schemes
of a few men to absorb the political power of
the nation. How long you have been in
finding this out! The lateness of the dis
covery is either discreditable to your intelli
gence or to your honesty. You can hang on
whichever horn of the dilemma you please.
If the opponents of the Democratic party
have always been wrong, as you now allege,
and the Democratic party has always been
right, why have you always acted ou the
wrong side? Why has your whole life
been spent in denouncing the Democratic
party ? Why did you and the "Blair family"
enter into the Van Buren movement of lii-t8

and assist in ;defeating Gen. Cass—the reg
ular nominee 2 Why did you, in your
speech at LafaYette,lndiankin 18iO,denounce
the Democrats as the "'moat miserable
party that ever bad existed,". and'Douglas
aa the "most' pernicious demagogue in the
United States"? Why did you do the same
thing in this city, and every, other place
where you spOlte? Why - did you recommend
"Delper's Impending Crisis," a work which
was generally condemned in the. North, and
which spread terror and consternation in the
South? Why were you so long and appa
rently so earnestly engaged in overthrowing
the slave poWer of the country and liberating
the negro? If what you now sayof his bar
barism is true, your efforts heretofore in his
behalf are frauds and lies. Your purpose,
Genera),is too plain to deceive any one. You
desire to re-establish the slave power or the
country, and to lay the North at its feet. If
this can be done peaceably, which you say
you do not •believe, well. If it requires a
revolution to effect it, you say let the revolu
tion come. When it does come, you will be
the Robespierre of it. Elias! for your ambi
tion, it has derleaped itself!

A Political Catechism.
The following "Shorter Catechism" has
done good service, and we republish it and
ask this reproduction generally in the Repub
lican Press :
Who said that all men are created equal ?
Thomas Jefferson, the Father of the Democ
racy.
Who gave negroes the right of suffrage
in New York? The Democratic. party.
Who presided over the Convention which
Bave this
_privilege to negroes ? Martin Van
uren, a Democrat.
Who afterwards elected Martin Van Buren
President of the United States ? The Demo
cratic party.
Who married a negro woman,
and by her
had mulatto children? Richard M. Johnson,
a good Democrat.
Who elected Richard M. Johnson Vice
President of the United States? The Demo
cratic party.
If President Van Buren lad died, and Rich
ard M. Johnson had become President, who
would have become the Democratic mistress
of the While Rouse? This negro woman.
Who made the negro a citizen a the State
of Maine? The Democratic party,
Who enacted a similar law In Massachu
setts? The Democraticparty.
Who wave the negro a right to vote in New
Hampshire? The Democratic party.
Who permitted every colored person
owning $2. - ,o in New York to become a
voter? A General Assembly,
,purely Demo-
• Who fepealed the-laws of vino w3►iuh re
quired negroes to give bonds anu security be
fore settling in that State? The Democratic
party.
Who made mulattoes legal voters in Ohio?
A Democratic Supreme Court, of which
Reuben Wood was Chief Justice.
What became of Reuben Wood? The
Democratic party elected him Goverpor three
times.
Who helped to give free negroes the right
to vote in Tennessee under the Constitution
of u;? Gen. Jackson.
Was Gen. Jackson a good Dem icrat? He
generally passed as such.
Who, with the above facts, and many
others, staring them in the face, are con
tinually whining about "negro suffrage" and
negro equality? The Democratic party.
All these things were done by Democrats,
and yet they deny being in favor of negro
equality, and charge it upon the Republicans
—just like the thief who cries "stop thief" the
loudest.
German Grant and Colfax Campaign
Club.
Last evening a very large and enthusiastic
meeting of the German Repablicans was held in
Mechanics' Hall, Third street, below Green. A
full brass band was in attendance, and discoursed
a number of patriotic airs.,
The meeting temporarily organized by calling
Jacob Hockey to the chair, and the appointment
of Max Einhorn as secretary. Tfie following
resolutions were adopted amid great enthu
siasm:
Whereas, The Republican party Is guided by
the principles of public justice in regard to the
Lationtil indebtedness; of patriotism in regard to
the tariff question, and of universal liberty and
equality in regard to the reconstruction of the
rebel States, and is therefore sound on the im
portant issues of the day; and whereas, the same
party is and always has been in favor of the
great self evident principles of the Declaration
of Independence, "that all men are born free
and equal, mid endowed with the inalienable
rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happi
ness," therefore be it
krsole-rd, That it Is only the Republican party
which we can recognize as the true representa
tive of these genuine Democratic principles.
That we therefore 'shall give our votes
only to the candidates of the Republican party—
to U. S. Grant and &buylet Colfax, whom we
know as men of unblemished honesty, undoubted
ability, undoubted principle, and tried patriot
ism, and to the other well-tried and most capa
ble men who are nominated by Lhe Republican
Marty; and that we call ou all independent, loyal
citizens, to whatever party they may belong, to
do the same.
That, in order to carry out our prin
ciplc:•, we have organized a Republican cam
paign club, and will nee our best efforts that at
the next State and national elections, with Grant
end Colfax as our etundard•bearere, the whole
lit publican ticket shall be triumphantly elected.

The Dangers of Atlantic City.
T. the Moor , L f th. Er. ning Bulletin.
In your estimable paper, I find the announce
ment of the untimely death by drowning at At
lantic City, on Saturday la-t, of four of our re
spected citizens. Nothing is more calculated to
arouse the deep sympathies of our nature than to
see our friends, companions or neighbors, swept
away before our eyes and disappear beneath the
angry waves, who a moment before had been
disporting near the shore with the buoyancy and
freedom of childhood.
Thought renews the question as each succeed
ing announcement has given to the sea another
victim: Cannot this loss of valuable lives be Pre
vented ? A loss. though one at a time, numbers
many watery graves and broken hearts, each re
curring season. It has often appeared to the
writer of this that the loss can be prevented.
My plan is for the hotel keepers and the Rail
road Company to appoint a Surf Vigilance Com
mittee, and place in proper hands the stupid city
authorities and bath house keepers. Require
these five grave councilmen to appoint or act as
surf police, provide themselves with correct
knowledge of the dangerous parts of the beach,
along with suitable ropes, with corks placed at
intervals: also, buoys, boats, life preservers, and
if need be, water dogs. Have the deep holes
and steep shores each season examined and
buoyed or staked as a warning to bathers.
Compel each bath-house keeper to have se
• curdy anchored at right angles from the shore a
strong corked line extending not less than one
hundred yards from low water mark, fastened in
such a manner that it can be hauled in at a mo
ment's notice, should an exhausted person or
his rescuer seize the same. Next, should an un
• fortunate bather get beyond these appliances, by
venturing to bathe in an unfrequented part of
the shore, a light line, with corks at intervals,
attached to a sliding ring and placed on a musket
ramrod. (head at each end,) and fired by a skilful
policeman, could be made to drop over the head
of a person swimming in the current who
unaided could net reach shore; once secured in
the hand of the swimmer, his rescue would be
come comparatively easy.
j. From personal observation and inquiry, the
places where six of the seven persons were
• drowned on this beach within the last fortnight
were covered with apparently calm water—no
surf of any great amount present—just the place
\...t0 tempt chit n:and weak swimmers to venture.
ese plad , a-are the result of an ebb cur
rent, making from the inlet parallel along the
beach for the distance of a mile or more, quite
inside the bar where the surf rolls. This cur
rent wears away the shore, making steep banks
beneath the surface. It is such places where un
suspecting waders go down, and 'Us here where
the ebb current strikes swimmers with the force
of a race horse, whirling them along to the
bar. Here in such fatal places there is no
warning stake or buoy—no discoloration of the
water or other sign for the unwary swimmer; no
boats; no ropes, and scarcely time to breathe
"God have mercy on their souls" before they arc
hurried beyond hope or help.
To show the mistaken views obtained by these
slow people, an honest bath housekeeper, when
questioned why boats were not kept on th e
beach for rescuing lives, replied, " 'Tis thought
that people would become more careless, were
they to know
,that such means of safety were at
hand!"
Were these people taught that a little fore
thought and liberality in providing moans to pre
serve the lives of their customers from drowning
would double their yearly gains, I think many of
them would come forward in this generous work.
The Government builds light-houses and an
chors buoys to save lives and property afloat.
