A ClirlHlluii Housekeeper Wanted A Crlpitle'H Great Desire A Fond ' ol'I'okcr Father'sPlcn Ignorant , 'j A Common Find. \ Krrorn In It IB the general rule of newspaper publishers to publibh the copy furnibhcd by ( ulvcrtibcrs exactly us written. The proof is compared with it mid in that way tlio "kick" of the patron , in cabc of a ridiculqw crror,5s immediately met with the oviiftneo that the fault lies with himself. A comma or a bcmicolon , in- Berted in the wrong place , may change n death notice bo that it will be cx- ccbsively funny. In.unowspaper like the lJEiwherc ono whole page , at least , is daily filled with "want , " "for rent , " and other advor- tinomonts of like nature , it in not strange that thia should furnihh an ex- cfillcnt field for the search of novel errors. During the past month no IcbH than fifty liuvo been noted by the writer and below will bo found a few choice tumplcs. A few days ago the following ap peared : HKNT Thieo nicely furnished looms for FOIl ; liotud It di-sheil ; also one In- loom mate ; icferencca lequlred. Tlio advortiber , evidently a lady , for no man could ever have constructed Btich a wonderful combination , docs not state many particulars. The render is obliged to draw upon his imagination ns to the ago and apperance. of the "young hiily room mate , " who is to bo "rented. " Ono valuable trait alone is mentioned that she is ' 'intelligent. " This is certainly a most desirable one , hut the advcrtibcr should have been more explicit and told the world some thing about the color of her hair and eyes ; whether she wore number nine Blioes or number twos ; whether she was good looking or homely , and above all as to her disposition. It docs not stand to reason that the "rontco" ' of this "in telligent young lady" could put up with mi uncongenial "room mato. " If the "room mate" in question was a person who would wear off a person's best neck tic , or lay hands upon hisla t clean pair of blockings , or stay out nights and wake him up by kicking over chairs ilitriiig the early hours of morning , then buch a chum would not bo a desirable one. Then again , the habits of the porhou would have to bo taken into con sideration. If the "intelligent room mate" chows tobacco nnd expectorates upon the carpotsmoke8 cigarettes , comes homo loaded with whisky , or pares her corns with your newly honed razor , Ihcso would also bo serious drawbacks. ( n fact something more must bo known of this unusual object ollcrod by the "renter. " Hero is another : A housekeeper. Must He n Chris tian , and ulilo to play the plnno. The advertiser in this case is evi dently an old bachelor or a widower. At all events lie is evidently of a religious turn of mind. Still this may bo a "blind" on his part to pull the wool over Iho eyes of the directors of the bank , in ease no is u cashier , or to give unto his Bhildron granting ho is a widower nnd has any proper homo instruction , The duties of the "Christian housekeeper" Uro not defined , but it is fair to presume that she will bo obliged to rise early ; shop the kindlin gs with a dull axo.build Iho lire , prepare breakfast , dress the hildron and pour her master's colToe Mth humility and Christian fortitude , to wash the dishes , keep the children from 'ailing ' in the cistern , un&wcr the door bell , buy the groceries , frighten away tramps , and pcdlors , during the day , and "bob up serenely with a smile of gratitude and welcome for her employer when ho re turns to a late and elaborate dinner pre pared by her. After the dishes are A ashed , the coal brought tip anil the table laid for the next morning's repast Lho"christianhoubckeeper"can roll down licr sleeves , put on a clean apron and prepare for n pleasant evening in the parlor. Now is the time when the piano gets in its work and her tired master , who has labored PO hard down town , can lean back in his easy chair and listen to nocturcns , gavottes , or dreamy walt'/.es lils"chribtian . " rendered by housekeeper. Altogether the combination desired by him has many advantages. One of Wednesday's "adds" in the BKI : was as follows : \I7ANTED--Hy a gentleman nnOlfp with ft TT baby 18 months old. the latter of aery peaceable disposition , a place to board In a pri- vuto family. Hero is the case of a young man who knows how it is himself , even if ho is married. It's a hundred to ten that ho has buffered untold miseries at the hands of squalling babies before mar riage , and dooms it but right to inform his future landlord or lady that his child IB not like other people's children , who are of no account anyway , but is the dearest , sweetest , nnd most peaceable little darling in the wqrld. Poor papa , poor baby , and poor landlady. Another of Wednesday's : WANTED 1 young lady room-mute. Hefcr- tncos required. Inmilto It will bo noticed that the fair adver tiser is lamentably ignorant of the game of poker , and is evidently under the impression that a pair will beat three of a kind. Still it may bo that the apartments she now occupies arc too limited to accommodate two other girls. An unfortunate man's need : A ONE-AHMED man , and othurwls-e cilppled , desires to purchase a full-blooded bull-dot ; chtai > . Address If thereis any ono thing , more than another , under the dome of heaventhat a one-armed man , ( and otherwise crip pled ) would naturally yearn for , it is certainly a bull dog. There is some thing bo cheerful and homelike in the countenance of this class of canines , ns to make a man , bighcd down with the woo of the advertiser , forget hissorrow. Then it will bo noticed that , he desires a full blooded animal. His "objcct in this is undoubtedly that the blood lost by him at the time of the amputation , will bo represented in the abundance of the fluid inside the pup's hide. Exactly why ho mentioned his aflliction in the advertisement , is explained in the itali cised word. Any dog mcrcnant who wouldn't knock oil a few dollars to such a purchaser , is not worthy to possess oven a Scotch terrier. A reward olTered below : LOST lly hominy und horse radish man , a Email leather pocket memoianduin book. Leave at llco olllce and lecclvo reward. Hero is a now species of the hunwn race. If the gentleman's solo diet is hulled corn garnished with the fragrant horse radish , it's no wonder that hemet met with the misfortune stated above , as his clothes must bo much too largo for him , and the wind howling through them could easily carry away his pocket memorandum book. A common find : FOUND A nhyslclnu's grip. Call at lice olllco. If the advertiser over picks up any Masons' or Odd Fellows' grips , ho will bo rewarded by leaving them at the UIK olllce. These are but a few of the comedy paragraphs of the advertising pages. Many sad and gloomy histories are also contained in the harsh brevities of the "want" columns , but they can have no place in this article. m Three and one-half tons of diamonds val ued at 110p,0000. < XK ) have been taken from the famous Kimbcrly mine since its discovery in 1871.
