The trick was done by sud denly uncovering a portrait set on a white Surface against the dark back screen at. the moment sitting was, completed. While.l was in Chicago, some years ago, a shrewd photographer there fleeced a . well known professor of animal magnet- , ism, who believed that a spiritual nimbus perpetually shone about his head, by pic turing him , with a blesaed halo about his venerable caput."

PITTSB URGE GAZETTE : THURSDAY, M The Mystery of Editing. Beecher says that the world at large do not know the mysteries of a newspaper; and, as in a watch, the hands that are seen are but passive instruments of the springs, which are never seen; so, in a newspaper, the most worthy causes of its prosperity are often least observed or known. Who suspects the benefit which the paper he derives from the enterpriiie, e vigilance and the watchful fidelity rof the publisher? Who pauses to think him much of the -pleasure of reading is e rived from theskill and care of the printer? We feel the blemishes of print ing, if they exist, butt seldom observe the excellencies. We eat a heartyinner, but do nbt think of the farmer t hat raised the mate rial theredf, or the cook that prepares them with infinite pains and skill. But a cook of vegetables,' meat, pastry and in definite bonbons, has a parasidical office in comparison with an editor. Before him pass all the exchange newspapers. He is to know all their contents, to mark for other eyes the matter that re quires attention. His scissors are to be alert, and clip with incessant industry all the little items that form together so large an interest in the news departniiitt. He passes in review each week every State in the Union through the newspapers' lens. Ile looks across the ocean and sees strange lands, and, following the sun, he searches • all around the world for ma terial. It will require but one second for the reader to take in what two hours' search produced. By him are read the manuscripts that swarm the office like flies in July. It is his frown that dooms them. It; is his hand that condemns a whole page into a line. It is his discreet sternness that restricts sentimental obitu aries, that gives poets a twig on which to set and sing their first lays. And the power behind the throne, in newspapers as in higher places, is some times as important as the throne itself. Correspondents, occasional or regular, stand in awe at the silent power which has the last, glance at the article, and may send it forth in glory and humility. And, in short, as the body depends upon a good digestion, so the health of a news paper depends upon that vigorous diges tion which goes on by means of the editor. Ought they not to be honored? And since little fame attends them they should at least have their• creature comforts mul tiplied. From the dark and dismal den. residence they are at length translated. Census of Ignorance. Some within of the scope of an educa tional qualification 'for the suffrage may be formed from the facts shown in the census returns, that in the,year 1840 there were in the United States 549,905 white persons over' 21 years of age who were unable to read.or write; in 1850, 962,898; and in 1860, 1,126,586. Mr. Cary, of Ohio, in his report from the Committee on Education and Labor, estimates in addi. tion to this, 91,826' free colored persons of the same age, and 1,682,800 adult slaves,making an -aggregate of nearly three illions of persons over the age of 20, in 1860, who could not 'read; or, as Mr. Cary more forcibly expresses it. "to whom the Constitution is a blank;" though, for that matter, it seems a blank to many who can read. The pectyle th i se Northern States may infer where ignorance is, by their knowledge of where it is not. A reading qualification in any, of the Northern States would be scarcely perceptible in its effect; but in the section which, in 1860, contained the great part of 1,626,575 white persons of the age of 20'ye,ars and upwards, who could not read, and in which the progress of education was backward during the war, and in which there are now added the entire body of the blaCks, to whom all teaching and read ing were forbidden, such a qualification would be a most important part in the structure of government. In the framing of the suffrage amendment, it was a theo ry that the fact that an' educational quali fication would disfraxchise some whites, would be security against its being im posed to disfranchise the mass of the blacks. Possibly this will be so; but we cannot tell what may be carried by means of the fanatical hate of the negroes; and, furthermore, the ancient ruling class in the slave 'States would like it all the better if it disfranchised the class of poor whites toward whom they were as hostile as they now are toward the blacks. '‘ Milking ''a Kicking Cow. In reply to 'your correspondent who Inquires for some way, to milk a kicking cow without tying her in some of the various ways that have been recommend. ed. I will give a little of my experience In that line, premising that no one ought to undertake the job just before a shower when he has a load of hay in the field that he is anxious to get into the barn. To lax a; good experienced kicker with out tying,l requires time and patience. I once bought a cow of a man who said No one could milk her without tying her legs. •. I first cleared my stable as for a dancligparty, drove the cow in. and shut it up as dark as possible. With a milk ing *stool made on purpose, about two feet high, I gently seated' myself by her side. If she was there when I was ready' to commence milking, she was not there long, afterward. But I followed her to where she was, having closed my lips firmly against the first harsh word. :.This process was repeated until the cow was tired of running away and concluded to stand and be milked; after which I could milk her in, theyard. In the course of the Summer I was obliged to be absent a week or more, and the milking was done by another hand. On my return 'I could not get within reach tif my kicking cow, and was obliged to give her:another dark-stable lesson, and in the course of a few Weeks I could again sit down and milk her in the yard as I did other cows. Therefore, though I believe that most kicking vows can be Milked without being tied, I wish to add as a postscript—it. la Moult l--Corres pondesst Nero Bn,glaßil Partner.
