Queer Things Done by Type. fo. Tho mistakes of printers arc often very luiiiiv to readers, turn very tixasncrutinir to authors. A single letter is often of the greatest importance, anil a .small mistake frequently changes tho whole effect of an article, feonic very liinny stones are told ol mishaps ol this character, and we give be low fcomo of the best : An English paper once stated that the Ltussian ueneral JJaokinowsky was found dead with "a long word in his mouth." It should have been "swnrd." In this case, however, the printer could not have been blamed lor leaving out a letter after setting up the Uussian uaino correctly. During tho Mexican war ono of the Eng lish newspapers hurriedly announced an im portant item of news from Mexico that Ueneral I'illbw and thirty-seven men had ieen lo-l in a bottle. It Mioum have read "battle." A lad in a printing oliico came upon the nanio of J locate, occurring- in u lino like this: Hhall reign the Hecato of tho deepest Hell. The boy, thinking that ho had discovered an error, ran to tno manor printer and in quiicd eagerly whether there was an e in cat. "Why no, you blockhead," was the ren v. Away went tho boy to the press and extracted the objectionable letter. J5ut faucv tho horror of both poet and publisher when the poem appeared with the lines: Khali lelgu the Ho Cat of tho dcepi st Hell. A now.-papcr somo time ago gravely in formed its readers that a rat descending the' liver came in contest with a steamboat, with such serious injury to the liuat tlmt groat nvnitions wo.ro necessary tn s.ivn it. It was a raft, and not a rat, descending the river. In the directions loreondiK'ting theUath- olic service in a place in France, a shocking blunder onco occurred 111 printing cttllotte citllotli: Now a ailfottc is an ecclesiastical cap or mitre, while the cullotlc means what is known in the drawing-room English as a gentleman's small clothes. The sentence lead, "Here the priest will take oil lus culloltc" Letters Drnnpal Out. Jsut let the form of types he ever so correct when sent to pioss, errors not unlrequently happen lroni the liability of tho letters to drop out, when tho form has not been properly adjusted or locked sufficiently tight. A printer putting to press a torm ot the (jomuion l'ravcr. tho c in the following passage dropped out un- perceivrd by him, "wo Hiall all he chttngnl 111 tho twinkling of an eye." When tho book appeared, to tho horror ol the devout worshipper, tho passage read: "We shall all be Itmiotd in the twinkling of an eye' A newspaper recently stated, in a report ot a battle, that the contlict was dreadtul, and that tho enemy was repulsed with great laughter (slaughter.) A man was said onco to have been brought 1111 to answer tho eluirgo of having eaten (beaten) a stago Jrivor far ilcuiniidiiig morn than his farc Tho public- were, informed some time ago that a man was committed for having stolen a small ox (box) from a lady's work-bag.

Ho now infests every comuiun ily, and is loathed and abhorred even by the "loyal" whose dirty work ho is always ready to perforin. JTeru is tho picture : The detective system which has obtained such wide-spread prevalence in this country at tho present time is an ovidenco of two things : a despotic central power, and a low grade of public morality. No Ooverninents save those of a tyrannical character have ever had resort totheU'C of detectives: and no people have ever looked upon thei-e agents with any feeling save that of con tempt, unless they have lost their self-respect and a proper appreciation of tho dis tinction between honor and dishonor. Of tho precise moral position of the de tective in tho employ of tho Government, we can infer much by an examination of an analogous character. in military allairs; a spy is ono who gains information 111 disguise and throucb treachery. This is nreeisclv the status of the detective. lie conceals his. character, and by treachery, that i, by pre tending to sympathize with the designs ol his victim, and by Uiking any number of solemn oaths with tho intention of not keen ing them. Thus it is that the definition of a spy and detective applies equally to both; they both seek their ends "through disguise ami treachery." This being admitted, we can very easily arrive at the moral charac ter ol tho detective ; lor, it two acts are ex actly alike, tho esteem in which mankind has unanimously decided to hold ono should apply tb the other. Among all civilized nations, and for nil time, the spy has been held to Imj an infa mous character. Vattlc says : "Spies are usually condemned to capital punishment, and not unjustly; and for this reason, a man of honor, who would not expose himself to die by the hand of the public executioner, over declines serving as a spy. lie consid ers it beneath him, us it can seldom tie done without some kind of treachery. The sov ereign cannot lawfully demand such a ser vice of subjects, and it remains to him to hold out the temptation of a reward as an inducement for mercenary souls to engage in the business." General Ilallcck is still more explicit. lie says : io authority can require ol a subordinate a treacherous or criminal act in any case, nor can the subordinate be justi fied in its performance by any orders of his superior. Hence the odium and punish ment of the crime must fall upon the snv himself, although itinay bo doubted wheth er the employer is entirely free from the moral responsibility ot holding out induce ments to treachery and crime." The fact that a man of honor cannot act as a spy applies with precisely tho same force to the easc of a detective ; and the terms odium, crime, treachers, are as ex actly applicable to tho latter as to the for mer. Wo attempt this definition of the position of a detective that men who propose engag- mcnt ol wliat is called secret service may known the estimation in which they will be held by thinking men, and, furthermore, that the general public may. extend to this class of men the consideration which they deserve. Asa further proof of tho dishonorable character of the spy, it may bo added that all military writers hold his testimony as, unreliable, for tho reason that :i man ricxpic-1 ublo enougli ,to commit an act of treachery for a reward, will, for a little higher reward, commit another act of treachery by selling' his services to tne other party, ror tho same reason is the evidence of a detective unreliable, for if ho will commit perjury and treachery for a given sum, ho will undoubt edly perform the same acts against his em ployers for a higher reward. Let tho mind of tho public perfectly com prehend the utter infamous elements which enter into the composition of a detective, and a verdict of condemnation will bo ren dered that will detract much from the pop ularity of hi3 profession, and will go far to wards reducing to tho minimum number those engaged in it. Let a detective, when known, be driven fiom society, as was tho abhoned herdsman of inediiuval ages, or tho leper from the camp of the Israelites. In this way only can an evil bo checked that now permeates every part of our social system. Military Interference in Elections. lions. (From the Chicago Times.) Tho House ill Washington has lasted a bill (and it has been approved by the Presi dent) to prevent military interference in elections, from which fact it would appear that there has been such intcrferenco of a character so extended and unjustifiable as to demand legislation to prevent its repeti tion. This is the confession made by tho passage of tho bill, and a more shameful confession could hardly bo made by a Re publican Government professing to respect law, justice and purity of elections. Had not tho interference been a general ono, ul feeling tho nation at largo, reaching bovond particular States and localities, illegal and oppressive, it is improbable that the party responsible for it would criminate itself by such an acknowledgement as tho passage of the hill involves. 1 he tacts were too noto- riousand too well substantiated to ho evaded. Several weeks siheo 'Ihe Arew York Tri bune, in commenting upon tho latu elections presented an array of figures tending to prove tho increase of its party with the in crease of population, and that tho Demo cratic party, instead of gaining in numbers, as tho population increased, was decreas ing. Tho pas.-ago of this bill will go far towards explaining tho sudden growth of Abolitionism, and overthrowing tho infer ences drawn from its figures. Tho last election was carried by fraud. Military in terference in Pennsylvania and Indiana car ried the Stato elections, and tho influence! which tho Administration triumph exerted in tho October elections secured, in con junction with fraud and military interfer ence, its success in November, How Pryor was Released.

Portraiture of Stanton. 1 Mr. Brownj.ofjhccCojifeder.ite Senate, tho Cour.-o "of a recent specch7"n'd the fol lowing notice ol Secretary Stanton, ol whom he said : It seemed that he had no power to dis gust Lincoln. It might lie because ho was baser than tho other two. Ho rather thought it was, for of all unmitigated falsi fiers of sacred pledges and undisguised be trayers ol the cohudencc which ho himself had created, Edwin M. Stanton was the meanest and basest. Ho had ono consola tion in thinking of this man, Stanton, and that was that ho would be certain, sooner later, to betray. Lincoln. Stanton was in capable of keeping faith. He had. a fond ness for betraying thoe who give him their confidence ; that has become the charm his life. Mr. Brown related an inteiview which ho had with tho present Yankee Sec retary of War just before he I.Mr. Brown) left Washington the lat.tim. It was un der circumstances peculiarly calculated impress Mr. Brown. 1 1 is Stato had with drawn from the Union. Mr. Brown was passing out of tho Senate, and Mr. Stanton from the Supremo Court. They met by cident in front of the Old Capitol, when conversation at once turned on secession, tho action of Mississippi on the question, and Mr. Brown's consequent withdrawal from the Semite. Mr. Brown was surprised, and, under the circumstances, ddiahud hear Mr. Stanton say the South nan riant. and impress an earnest hone that file- would stand Jinn. You aro right, said he ; homo and urgo your friends to stand by what they have done, and all will bo well. Firm ness now will secure you all vou ask : wavering and you are lost. He had accepted 111,?

Dosert not your friend in danger and dis tress. Too many thero aro in tho world whoso attachment to thoso thoy call friends is confined to tho day of prosperity. As long as that continues, they are, or appear to be, affectionate and cordial. But as soon their friend is under a cloud, thoy begin withdraw and separate their interests his. In friendship of this sort, the heart has assuredly never had inuch concern. For the groat test to truo friendship is constancy in the hour of danger adherence in season of distress.. When your friend culminated, then is tho time openly and boldly to defend his cause. When his situ ation is changed, or misfortunes aro fast gathering around him, then is tho time affording, prompt, zealous aid. , hen sick ness or infirmity occasions him to bo neglected by others,, that is the opportunity which every real friend will seize of redoub ling all tho afl'ectioiiato attention which lovo suggests. Theso aro tho important duties. the sacred claims of friendship, religion and virtue enforce on every worthy mind. show yourself warm in this manner in causo ot your lrienu, commands esteem oven in thoso wno navo personal interests in op nosing him. This honorablo zeal of friend ship has, in every age, attracted tho veneratiou of mankind. It has consecrated to latest posterity tho names of thoso who have given up their fortunes, and have exposed their livos in behalf of thoir friends whom they loved : while ignominy and disgrace have ever been tho portion of thoso who would desert their lnends in the hour distress.

I 1 , I The Best Time to Prune Trees. to go At tho last meeting of the Farmers' Club there was a long di-eussion on pruning trees, by Dr. AVard, and Messrs. Ely, Carpenter, and Smith, and , they agreed in opinion, aa tho result of their experience, that the best time for pruning is the summer when tho trees are growing. Trees pruned at, that time heal more readily, and aro less likely to bo attacked by black blast, or otherwise injured, than if prunned in the winter.
