Virgil is still in the Washington preparatory, school and has decided to take the examination June I.Bth, instead of during April. He is not decided as to whether he will take the examination in the east or in Fort Wayne. He will probably return, howI ever, for a visit in either case. A Rochester preacher is going to speak on the subject, "What I Would do if I Was an Editor." Well, he would do about what the rest of us do. Say nice things about everybody, try to cover up some peoples meanness, boost the town, hustle around for news, get cussed for some things he put in the paper. If he didn't do these things and a hundred others' that are required of the editor he would not be an editor long enough to get the ecclesiastical veneer worn off him.—Ex.
