SECULAR RExcoNTRE.-A short time since,

that il would be necessary that her husband,
who was in America, should be present before
the money could be paid, wrote TO him to come
back, which he did, and he met her by appoint'
ment in Liverpool not many days ago, anu drew
the money. The wife, conceiving now that
thew were in possession Of so much money, that
there could not be any objecton TO her return
inc TO America with him, proposed TO do SO, to
Which re made no objection, but having the
greater part OF the 5000 in his pocket, he man

attention of a female standing at the door OF 4
lodging house, and appearing 70 a"ah me arr,
he, 10 be weary, invited her in, and asked her

been making merry, that her husband ha1 c eane

wives asserted their claims, but the new WIS

The DAouEKREorYPE.- Hard is the fate Of
inventors. They SOW in perplexity and tears,
and others reap in Joy. Often the fruit of years
Of patience and toll is 6lched from them when
completed, the name Of another stamped upon il,
and thus not only the reward, but the glory lost
10 them, in some cases, for time, in somei per-
haps, forever. ~
The Quadrant was one instance Of this, and
the Daeuerreotype is now said to be another
IL appears that Joseph Nicepborc Niepce was
the itirst who found the means Of fixing, by the
chemical action of light, the image Of external
objects, although Louis AIandi Daguerre per-
fected the Photographic process of Niepce, and
discovered the method now in use. The photo
graphic attempts Of Niepce go back TO 1908, and
Re made his 6rst discovery in 1914. Beginning
with the well known facts that asphalte, exposed

most Of the compounds Of silver bleached by the
action Of luminous rays, he applied himself tc

From the reproduction OF engra,lngs ne al

ages Of the camera obscura-a problem wn,ct
lie .alyed IN 1924. In 1926, Daguerre, skilin
ns;n,sr and the inventor Of the Diorama, be
came acquainted with Nepce and his discover,
and applied himself to its perfection. The com
bined discoveries were first announced to I'M
world by Arago in 1889. Since then the pro
s ss Of barusrreotyping has been further an'
most wonderfully improved by various Artists
Of whom America, and our own city come IN 10
their full share. N.

"NoBoDY But A PRINTER, ANYHOW
Some persons having uttered this sncering ex-
preston within hearing of the editor OF tho Gin
cinnati Times, he replies as follows, in defence
Of the profession he follows in pride:
"'Noboly but printer forsooth! 1t makes
our free blood run rampant through our veins
to hear such expressions from ihn-A nursed on
republican soil.
And has labor become disgraceful? IL the
name Of printer rcproach to the land? We
cannot believe it. Whoever gains livelihood
by toll, is a nobleman. Let those who scorn the
laborer look back to their grandfathers, and they
will see noblemen after the make Of Gods own
hand-men who stood aud sung among the wav-
ing corn men who wore their human nature
like a crown
Nobody but printer, anyhow Who was
William Caxion, one Of the fathers Of English
literature Nobody but printerr-Who was
Samuel Wordsworth, the poet? Nobody but a
printer WHO was Gov. Armstrong OF Msssa-
chusetts? Nobody but printer p George p.
Morris, N. p. Willis, Horace Greeley, James
Harper, Robert Sears, and Senstors Cameron,
Dix, and host Of no less conspicuous names
who are they? Nobody but printers, anyhow
Let the mistaken souls Of our land scorn those
who honestly work out the penal condition pre-
scribed by the Creator and Il justice Is not gone
forever, they will yet blister their hands with
manual labor. We have seen such justice, even
in our day."
