THE ATHENS GEORGIAN :* JUNE 5, 1877.
Advice to Newspaper
respondents.
Cor-
[Burlington Hawkeye.]
Never write with pen or ink. It is
altogether too plain, and doesn’t bold
the mind of the editors and printers
closely enough to their work.'
If yon are compelled to use ink t
never use that vulgarity known as
the blotting-pad. If yon drop a blot
of ink on the paper, lick it off. The
intelligent compositor loves nothing
so dearly as to read through the
smear this will make across twenty
or thirty words. We have seen him
hang over such a piece of copy half
an hour swearing like a pirate all the
time, he felt that good.
Don’t punctuate. We prefer to
punotuatc all manuscript sent to us
And don’t use capitals. Then we
can punctuate and capitalize to suit
ourself, and your article, when you
see it in print, will astonish even if it
does not please you.
Don’t try to write too plaint). It
is a sign of plebeian origin and pub*
lie school breeding. Poor writing
is an indication of genius. It is
about the only indication of genius
that a great many men possess.
Scrawl your article with your eyes
shut ami make every word as illegi
ble as you can. We get the same
price for it from the ragman as though
it were covered with copperplate
sentences.
Avoid all painstaking with proper
names. We know the full name of
every man, woman and child in the
United States, and the merest hint at
the name is sufficient. For instance,
if you write a character something
like a drunken figure “ 8,’’ and then
draw a wavy line, and then the let
ter M and another waving line, we
will know at once that you mean
Samuel Morrison, even though you
may think you mean “Lemuel Mess
sengcr.” It is a great mistake that
proper names should be written
plainly.
Always write on both sides of the
paper, and when you have filled both
sides of every page, trail a line up
and down every margin, and back to
the top of the first page, closing vour
article by writing the signature just
above the date. IIow we do love to
get hold of articles written in this
style. And how we like to get hold
of the man who sends them. Just
for ten minutes. Alone. In the
woods, with a cannon in our hip
pocket, licvengc is sweet, yum,
yum, yum. Lay you paper on the
ground when you write ; the rougher
the ground the better.
When your article is completed,
crunch your paper in your pocket,
and carry it two or three days before
sending it in. This rubs off the sus
peril nous pencil-marks, and makes it
lighter to handle.
If you can think of it, lose one
page out of the middle of your arti
cle. We can easily supply what is
missing, and we love to doit. We
have nothing else to do.

The Flag of the Prophet.
[New York Mercury.)
The sacred emblem of Tuikish faith
will play a great role in this war. It
is dark green, about two yards long
aud'One and a half wide, and was i
originally a curtain in the bedchnm- j ^ oss °* a ^ ro P blood from this ot
her of Aischa, the best beloved wife S an » ««nplyfying throughout, one of
served edges, that tlie t oinigue, tlirolgh
which a ligature had been previously
passed, might be drawn forward and
out of the mouth as far as practicable,
to allow the galvanic cautery to be
applied. After the galvanic cautery
had been properly adjusted and con
nected with the battery, the tongne
was amputated entire, without the
of the prophet, who died in her bed.
When Mohantmed was on his death
bed and qbout to take leaf of Gener
als, who were about to enter upon a
new campaign against the heal, then
the dying prophet gave them the
enrtnin that overhung his bed as a
battle flag, so that the faithful should
forever remember that they were
doing battle for God and His prophet.
Ever since tliht time, whenever the
Caliphs went into battle they took
this flag with them, but in later years
it was resolved to carry this holy
relic into battle only whenever a war
of religion was being waged. In
1683 the same flag waved from the
walls of Islam had t o be defended,
it was unfurled to rally ‘lie faithful
ard encourage them to deeds of hero
ism. What, however, is the most
important feature of this flag is the
belief that any Mussulman who fights
and fills under its shadows, dies as a
martyr, for whom the portals of
heaven are*open at once. From the
Caliphs of old, this banner has been
sacredly retained by the Sultans of
our day, ia order to inspire still more
zeal in their soldiers. Yesterday the
unfolding of this time-honored banner
took place, with great pomp and
ceremony by the Sultan, Abdul
Hamid in person, who handed it to
the Schcik-El-Islam in solemn trust. ]
The latter was mounted on a horse
literally covered with gold, and while
holding the sacred banner in his
hand,-.be wast-accompanied by the
Sultan, himself also on horseback,
with sword in hand, through the
principal streets of Constantinople.
Couriers and heralds preceded the
two high dignitaries of State, and
pointing to the unfurled banner,
loudly proclaiming to the people that
the war for the faith had commenced.
This morning, the same relic—which
the Turks regard with the same holy
awe as the Iraelites of old did the
Ark of the Law—was sent under es
cort to the Danube, there to lead the
Turkish hosts to battle for Allah and
his prophet.
the most formidable and dangerous
operations in modern scientific surge
ry, hemorrhage being an important
factor. Holes were then drilled
through the bones of the chiu which
had been sawn apart, and wired
together again. The other wounds
were dressed iu the usual manner.
The patient, being under the influ
ence of ether, suffered no pain, thus
ending a bold, daring operation,
splendidly performed.”

Resolved, That we fully endorse the “Safety
Parlor Fusee,” manufactured by the American
Fnsee Company, and-earnestly recommend their
general use. We would espcciallv suggest to
the citizens of Georgia, and to the 'Farmers and
Planters in particular, to supply themselves
with the Safety Match, as their use would un
questionably result in a marked decrease in the
number of fires throughout the State.
Hundreds of testimonials from private families
and others, like the following, can be furnished;
but we have only room for two:
MaconJ-Ga., Feb. 18, 1876,'—This ia to certify
that I have been using the American Safety
Parlor Fnsees in my hotel for the past two
months, during which time I have, by practical
tests, given them a thorough trial, and find them
more tbfflrtOft per cent. cheaper than the com
mon friction matches. I find that one-half gross
of the Safety Fusees has lasted me as long as
three grefa of the coinmon matchcs.
* R- DUB, Proprietor Lanier House.
We heartily concur in the statement of Mr.
Dub, as It fully coincides with onr experience
the use of the Safety Fusees in our hotel.

upon Gen. Briggs’ staff. Dr. Pad-*

The cancer is said to have been
caused by smoking, and the operation
was tbe only means of saving bis life
A few lines have been received on a
postal card from Mr. W. by his
many friends in town, announcing
that lie is getting along finely, while
the Monday Albany Argus leported
a reasonable prospect of his recovery.
This paper, contains the following
account of the operation: “This
operation always involves great risk
of life from hemoirhaae. To'lessen
the danger both lingual arteries were
