On reading the recent animated and amusing diecusMon over typo graphical errors between the West ern correspondent and the Eastern comp., the iniud of tbe writer Hew back to a brief period in his edito rial existence wheu be verily be lieves be read the proof of tbe worst typesetter in the Sate of Ohio. The man's mistakes were ab normal aud monumental in the ig norance, blindness and comical fail cy they evidenced. And, ever since that time, I have sympathized with that fellow who wrote t;I kiss ed her under tbe silent stars'' and had it appear in print as "I kicked her under tbe cellar stairs," al though 1 do not believe that this famous typographical mistake ever saw print as an actuality, any more than that queer ''pale martyr with his sheet of fire,'7 who appeared in print as "the pale 'martyr with his shirt on fire." They are tunny, but imaginative. They might easily have occurred in galley proof, but hardly further. The uniqueness of some of the mistakes that the comp. above re ferred to, turned off indused me to make note ol some of the most amus ing of them at the time. In referring to "Mosses from an Old Manse," this artistic typo, stuck it up as "Moses from au Old Mouse." The "artistic dramatiza tion of a novel'' was profanely trans lated iuto "the attistic damnation of a novel." And again in the same week, that comp. solemnly assured our readers that "the children of Israel ate their mamma in the wil derness,'' a feat of wholly unpreme ditated cannibalism on their part. The poem "Sweet and Low," become 'Sweet and Sour.' A local poet contributed a stanza inviting his love to meet him in "the field and woody bowers," and the compositor calmly invited his dear heart to meet him "in the wild aud woolly bowers." "Gas chandeliers" became "gay Canadians. "Gray walls" became "gay walks." In an account of a wedding a "white and spotless screen" became transformed iuto a "whitened apostle's creed," to the horror of the religious editor. "Sci oto Lodge No, 43" struck a startled public as "Souietv Dodge No. 43." "At St. Mary;s Church," became "A Street, Mary C lough " When j marked iu an apostrophe with a "Southwest corner" line under it to distinguish the apostrophe from a comma, in order to deuote the pho netic beheading of a word, be cor rected the proof so that " 'Bout forty yeais ago" appeared as L'Bout forty year ago." Every "Mrs.'' he made over into "Mis?," so that the whole community was scandelized by the freqaent state ment that "Miss Smith and her three children are visiting friends," etc. The only neat thing he did was, when he omitted a work lrom oue line, he always set it in the next Although this startled the proof reader more than once, it save the compositor a great deal of "running over" of the lines when the proof came back from galley correction, the transfer of the one word being made easy by the overlay of the Jine in which it belonged into the line in which it had been set. He was put on headlines once, but after he had made "Murder Will Out" into "Murder Without,'5 "Hie Jacet" into "His Jacket," "Nuf Ced" into "Enough Said," "Omnium Gatherum" into "Ohio Gatherings," we decided that his fort was in the picturesque but not the reliable, aud loaned him euough to get to Columbus on. After he left I abus ed mv?elf for not having kept a careful record of ail his phenomeual j errors as a matter of interest, aud collected these few from the old galley proofs that still hung on the foreman's hook. Therefore I sjy I sympathize with the writer whose matter has been garbled atrociously. But I also say, having "held cases" myself, that the writers are too often re sponsible for the dirty proofs that show up after their copy has been stack up." Jack Bennet in the Journalist DEATH OF GOV. FOWLE. XT MIDNIGHT II IS SUD DENLY CALLED INTO ETERNITY. State Chronicle, April 8th. "Governor Fowle is dead." This morning abort t, 12:30 o'clock this sudden aud terrible announce ment stilled the ruusic at the gay assembly of Raleigh's young people at the Capital Club, and hushed ev ery voice of merriment. It carried consternation ro every heart, and produced a sadness never before felt in Raleigh, Ti e pleas ant gathering dispensed with a sad heart for iu all that throug there was not one who did not hold the Governor iu highest esteem, and who did not grieve iu the announce tnent of bis sudden and untimely death. His death so stunned his family, friends and physicians that no news of the sad event was heard up tbe street until a few minutes to one o'clock. When it was stated, the news ran over the city like a terri ble shock. No one except his inti mate friends aud close associates in the affairs of State knew that he was ill, and the announcement came as a clap of thunder from a clear sky. For two days Governor Fowle had not been feeling quite well, but was not thought to be at all dangerous ly affected. He did not go to the Executive Office on Monday, aud on yesterday, though better, he did not go to the Office. His physician, Dr, Fab Haywood, advised, as a pure matter of precaution, that he stay at home. This he did, and was thought to be much better than on Monday. - f After supper, a young friend called to see bim and found him in fine spirits. Iu his most genial mood, the Governor said, "I believe j it would do me good to get up and take a little exercise." Afterwards, I as was bis wont every night, his younger children came to him to be near him while they studied their lessons and have his fatherly direc tion and aid. His mind was clear and he assisted bis daughter, Mary, to work a problem in her arithmetic leseon, saying, when he had finished the most difficult problem, "There, it is difficult, and I expect your teacher would not have au easy time working it herself." He was in the best spirits and none of his symptoms were alarming. Shortly afterwards be called his daughter, Mary, and said, "My little girl, I do not feel well, and I am glad you are here. I feel that I may need you to sit up with me to-night." About that time his daughter, Miss Helen, came into the room again (she hav ing been with her father with tender solicitude iu what was supposed to be a slight indisposition) and the Governor, alter smiliug to her, said, "Helen, I am tainting," and fell back unconscious upon his pillow, to the consternation of his children. His daughter dampened a towel, and ran to him to render assistance. The servants were summoned one ran tor Dr. McKee, another for Drs. Burke and Huoert Haywood, and Miss Helen herself ran for her uncle. Dr. Fab Haywood. Dr. Fab Hay wood was the first to arrive, but the Governor was already dead. In fact he did not live five minutes afs ter his words, "I am faiuting." The doctors think he died probably of apoplexy. He died at 11:30 o'clock. Messengers hurriedly carried the news through the city, and in a short while the State officers and many prominent citizens harried to the Executive Mansion which had suddeuly been transformed into a home ot gloom and grief. The deep and tender sympathies of all the people in Raleigh and throughout the State go out to tbe sorely bereaved children. Never was there a happier family, a more devoted father, or one more tenderly beloved by his children. Tbe Gov ernor's home life was sweet and beautiful to reflect upon. He had a warm and tender heart, and all his children came to him as freely as to a mother. Between them there, was no restraint. lie loved them and they ktew that no company was so pleasant to him as Mieir society. In their sports and pleasures, as well an iu their studies, he took a deep interest. Hi home-lile was eiugu iarly delightful to bim, and when troubled in court or in affairs of State he would turn to the compan ionship of his children for relaxation and happiuess. To his ycauger chil dren, since the death of his wife iu 18SG, he had beeu mother ami fath er, and bis tenderness and love will ever remain to them their most priceless treasure. As tbe Chief Executive of the great State of North Carolina he set an example of himple, uu affected and happy bomeslife which might with profit be followed by all the citizens otthe State. In character, the Governor like wise set an example iu upright liv ing. He was a man of the highest integrity and personal purity. Fond of innocent pleasures and amuse ments, he used them to administer to his health and happiness but nev er abused them. He was a total ab stainer aud never touched liquor in any shaped He did not fear it for himself, but he believed it to be his duty to set an example of temper ance to the young men by whom he always loved to surround himself. He was a conscientious man and trusted in the Savior. His faith was simple and unaffected, and his heart was full of the milk of human kind ness. For many years he bad been a devoted Presbyterian, and was a memher of. the First Presbyterian church in Raleigh. Firm iu his faith, be was a mau of broadest catholicity and free from sectarian bias. We had enjoyed peculiar privileges of knowing his religious views and his convictions. That he lived in the assurance of a better world we have no doubt, and we be lieve that he has been called to a home not made with hands. Sud denly called to render an account for the deeds done in tbe body, the summons found him ready. He bad not allowed his political interests or his duties as Governor to allow him to forget that his first duty was to his Creator, and in all things he acknowledged Him and tried to do His will. God rest his faithful and loving soul I That his public services entitled him to the exalted position of Govs ernor the people said in 1888, and before that thousands had sought to elevate him to that high position. Our acquaintance with the Govern- or had been of comparatively recent date, and we bad not known him well until since bis election to the gubernatorial chair. His public acts as Governor are well known to our readers. It is enough to say to-day that it is our belief that his administration ot that high office was actuated by a patriotic desire to advance the welfare of the State, aud with an eye single to making his adminis tration progressive, wise, and de serving of the commendation of the people of the State. There was no backdoor influence to his adminis tration. It was free from the slight est breath of suspicion of any kind It was honorable, clean and open. He was easy ot approach and gave a hearing to all parties, and gave consideration to the claims of all. He was bold and did not fear to as' same responsibilities, and bis ads ministration will be regarded as wisely progressive, honorable and worthy of the upright man who filled the office of Chief Executive of his native State. The Chronicle writes not as a jour, nalist merely in expressing the grief which this sad eveut carries to mauy hearts. Our relations with the Gov ernor were of such a nature as to know him well. We were warmly attached to him and outside of his immediate family no one will be more sorrowful or more deeply grieved than the editor or this pa per. His warm heart, genial nature, patriotic endeavor to serve ihe State and his sunny temper, aud desire to secure the bettermeut of the people bad given us an affectionate esteem for him; and now that he is dead we feel that wbiie the State loses an ablfl statesman, our lots is that of a frank, cordial and sincere friend. Mourning will decorate our public buildings. Its sad badge will rest upon our heart, for the Chief Exec utive was to U3 more than the wor thy occupant ot a great office he was a friend iu whom we trusted and whom we loved. Daniel Gould Fowle was born in Washington, this State, on March 3rd, 1831. In 1S45 he entered tbe famous Bingham School aod after ward euteied Piiucetou College, N. J , at the age of MXteeu. He was a classmate of Hou. Barnes Compton, of Maryland, and with bim shared the honors of his class. He gradu ated at Princeton in 1851, was ad mitted to the bar in 1853 and set tled in Rrileifih in 1854, where be has since resided, and where he has always beeu held in the highest es teem. Gov. Fowlo wa twice married and survived both wives. His first wife was Miss Ellen Brent, daughter of Chief Justice Richmond Pearson, who died iu 18G2 leaving two child rn, Margaret, now wife of Air. P. H. Andrews, of this city, and Maris tha, wife of Mr. D. B. Avera, of Johnston county. In 18CC, be married Mary E., only daughter of Dr. F. J- Haywood, who died in 188G, leaviug three children, Misses Helen and Mary Fowle, and Daniel G. Fowle. Jr. At the outbreak of the civil war be enlisted in tbe old Raleigh Rifles and marched to tbe front as second Lieutenant. He served consecu tively in the offices of Major of the Commissary Department aud Lieu tenant Colonel of ihe 31st Regiment, when he was captured and impris oned at Fort Hill, in Beaufort coun ty, February 8th, 18G2. In that same year he was released and en., tered the Legislature as the repre sentative from Wake county, after ihe adjournment of which he was made Adjutant General ot the State with the rank of Major General, In the fall ot 18G3 he resigned his com mission and ran for the Legislature again on the autNHoIden ticket, being the only candidate elected by the opponents of Governor Holden. In 18G5 he was appointed by Gov. Holden as judge of the Superior Court, aud the subsequent Legislas tures reflected him until in 18G7 he resigned because he would not carry out the orders of the Military Governor, Gen. Sickles. He mani fested in a manner so emphatic as never to be 'orgotteu, bis veneration for tbe Constitution and his love for constitutional government. He felt deeply the humiliation ot a judiciary dependent upon the will of military satraps, and bis admirable conduct in refusing to be an instrument to such degradation and his masterly denunciat'on of such subversion of constitutional government deserve to be remembered as long as patri otic men love constitutional liberty. The attempt to make judges parti zan tools made so deep an impress sion upon his mind that he never was so eloquent as when depicting the evils that would come to the people if constitutional government should perish from the eartn. In 18G5 he was chairman ot the St-ite Executive Committee, and threw all his energy and strength into the campaigu thar followed. He was afterwards a candidate for the Senate from Wake and Franklin counties, but was defeated, though he led his ticket. Iu 187G the Con vention put him on the Tiideu and Heudricks electoral ticket as ElecN or at Lirge. So well did he conduct the campaign that it was evident had Tilden been inaugurated he would, more than probably, have appointed him Attorney General. In every Convention thereafter he re ceived flattering votes for the Gu bernatorial nomination and it was iu the Convention of 1888 that placi eti bim enthusiastically at the head of the ticket. He was elected by 13,718 majority' and was inaugurat ed as Governor on January 18, 18S9. In June last he was invited to de liver the literary address at his Al ia i Mater, Princeton College His engagements prevented. He was henored with the degree ot LL D. This degree bad previously been given him at Davidson College, and n 1SS9 the University of North Carolina had given him tbe same de gree. It was just in January last that he moved into the elegant new man sion built by the State and revived the old custom of Governor's recep tions. He had planned to make these receptions occasions for the social gatherings of great pleasure to the people of the city and State. lletiei ISiiHlueas MjMtem Ke quired on the Farm. A good busiuess man has recent ly asked me, says a farmer, why it is that agriculture will not give in practice as good results as it does on paper ? A manufacturer, be saya, can figure out, with some degree of certainty, the cost of producing a certain line of goods, the expense of placing them on the matket, aud (with the exceptioa of experiment tal products) can calculate what return bis invested capital will give. In agriculture, he eajs, the cost of production is always estimated too low, the average product too high, and tbe profit upon tha investment out of all proportion to the actual facts. For this reason capital is slow to come to the aid of the farm er (as it does to tbe manufacturer and the merchant), aud wheu it does come at all it must have a se cure lien upon imperishable realty, never taking the cbauces of a part ner in business. Its returns must be guaranteed, and it must be able to enforce tbe guareuty. Triese facts are true, and they c-irry their own lesson. We operate too niach upon chance. We rarely know the cost ot any crop, namely, tbe exact production of any acre, aud have no real basis upon which to predi cate our profits or losses. Often, in agriculture, capital could profitably be taken as a special partner, and it would be ready to come if a balance sheet could be shown. But w he e everything is guess work it is not to be wondered that it holds aloot. The remedy is in our own baud?. Let us get a business education, keep books of account, know what our crops cost before we well them, and rise a grade higher in the busi ness part of our occupation. Old Homestead. THE FIRST SYMPTOMS OF DEATH. Tired feeling, dull headache, paing ia various parts of the boJy, sinking at the pit of the stomach, loss of appetite, fever ihoes3, pimples or tore, aro all positue evidence of poisoned blood.

Dr. J M Lawing, Druggist The Heart. The heart's yooth does not pass, as long as its purity and innocence remain. We sear our own hearts by the cherishing of sentiments we are directed to expel ; we become discontented and call our discontent knowledge ; we forgot that all knowledge, which does not increase our happiness, is spurious, and not to be trusted. How strong are he j heart's first struggles under sorrow; j how it battles with aistres and wars against despair aud disap pointment , bow vigorous its efforts i to combat and overcome but sor row is tbe stronger ay, sorrow is the stronger it is drawn into the heart by the first breath that we inhale of this world's air a small seed, but still it grows and grows, twisU and twists, until it; crashes tbe poor heart ; and then, then we die ! jV.
