The WAND OF THE LITTLE MAGICIAN
Mr. Ex-President Martin Van Buren is
in England but before he left these
shores, he waved his wand here, and II
had all It's antique magic power. That
wand, we thought, was gone when IN
1913 he broke down Gen. Cass /; Tor,

were mistaken. -magicians never die
hey are immortal.
The Democracy, however, were so
indignant, especially the Southern
Democracy, that IN the crash they kept
up their rage even to 1852. Meanwhile
The Magician was waving hls wand

a MAculNE FOR REPogrERs.-An
American paper says -" In September
1850, john b. Fairbanks, Esq, took out
"A patent for an invention ca cuated to
enable uny man who can move h's
hands rapidly IN vert cal direction, to
report speaker in full, with case and
certainty. 1t is operated by keys, which
by their movement, connected with
stenographic types, imprint new
alphabet of shorthand characters upon
the PAPER. The alphabet contains only
five elementary characters, and by
com mbinations Of these, all the other
letters, together with numerous word
signs, are made. The fingers and
thum5 of one hand are sufficient 10
operate five keys, which constitute tie
all habet, and also to make inhumerable
changes upon the same, so that ole
hand can write one row Of signs upon
the paper, while another Sc. five keys
under the other hand San, at the same
time, be made 10 write another one. 1t
Is really gaining the use Of both hands
at once wr,i & sIenogruphy, and the
hand Will certainly not so soon grow
weary Of simply striking those keys, as
of constantly pushing quill, which
those who have tried it well know is
worth all il comes to. Messrs. Fairbanks
and How have now in process an
improvement upon tins invention,
calculated TO write out a speech in
Roman characters, instead of short
hand For sketch reporting this would
be admirable, as the copy would be
more complete, and easier for the
compositor."
