ONLY TECHNICAL TERMS.
" Did you get my article on the ' Revival of Orthodoxy?'" asked a Brooklyn olergrman, approaching the managing editor the other afternoon. " I did," repUed the editor, " and it's in type. Be out in to-morrow's paper." " Some conversation with the brethren have materiaUy modified my views, and I wish to withdraw the theais temporarily," j explained tho clergyman. " All right," said the editor, « I'll attend to it." " But," remonstrated the minister, with a smilo, "you journalists are subject to aberration of the recollection, and you may forget it. Would you object to making it a oortainty now ?" "Of courso not. Here, Swipes. Tell the foreman to hunt through tho God gall»ys and kill tha Bey Postledrum." " They had an aooident out there a bit ago, and I guess the Orthodoxy was pied? sir." "Ah! That's aU right. Then your Btuff has gone into the heU box, Mr Postledrum, and you needn't trouble about it. Be glad to hear from you again, sir. It's rather clever slush." And the reverend gentleman retired, wondering if orthodoxy has received another blow, or whether he was the viotim of printing offioe technique.
