u The type-setting machine in the
office of the Fedrelandet, at Copenha-
gen, Id described as follows. If its sue
cess is sure, it will be the first inven-
ton of the kind that has ever been of
any value and this is not a great labor
saving machine after all, as it only does
the work Of two men. The economy of
the affair is not quite apparent
Instead of the usual cases and COM
posing sticks, and the compositor stand
ing at his work, we see person sitting
before a machine with keys like piano,
which ne plays on necessarily, and every
touch on the tangent is followed by q
click :; the letter is already in its in the
long mahogany channel prepared for it.
The whole is excessively ingenious. In
fact it is fairy work. The most wonder
full part is that it distributes the already
used type at the same time that it sets
the new page, and with an exact
ness perfectly sure. No mistake can
ever occur. The compositor BY this
machine does four times as much
work as another workman, but as he re-
quires an assistant to line and page the
Set type, this brings it to tpice the amount
Of type set. The whole is so clean and
pleasant that it will probably soon be a
fayorite employment for women. The
machine occupies very small space, not
more than large chair, and is beauti-
fully made Of hard wood, brass and steel:
Its success is now beyond all doubt. The
prOprietors of the Fedrelandet are SO
gratitied by the one that they have, that
they have ordered another. The price is
24OO Danish dollars. 1t will last appar-
emily for century or two without re-
pair. Mr.. Sorenson, the inventor, him
self acompositOr all his life, kindly shows
the machine to any visitor. Of course a
compOsitor cannot set with this machine
at once; it will take him a short time,
few days, for him to become familiar with
the details, but he is then gentleman
compared to his old comrades"

CAUSES OF THE OBsrrNAT DEFENCE

CAUSES OF THE OBSTINATE DEFENCE OF
FORTIFIED CITIES BY THE TURKs.-A very
simple cause explains this obstinate de.
fence of fortified cities by the Turks; it
Is necessity. The whole male inhabitants
capable of bearing arms are arrayed in
the defence of the place. A city of 3d.
600 citizens will array on its walls 10 900
warriors, each of whom, trained from in.
fancy to the use of arms, and splendidly
equipped with his own weapons of de-
fence, forms at once valuable soldier.
They fight desperately, because, like the
citizens of towns in antiquity, they have
nothing to hope in the event of capture.
The male inhabitants will all be put to
the sword, the young women sold for
slaves, or swept into the Turkish harem;
the entire fortunes of the inhabitants
drawn into the Golfers of the Sultan or
victorious pasha. The commander him
self, il he escape death at the hands of
the assailants, is almost sure to meet it
at those of the Sultan. Misfortune is
punished IN the same way as misconduct,
and no amount of previous skill or yalor
IN defence can save the Governor, who
has lost his fortress, from the bowstring.
Thus, the Turks in fortified towns make
a resolute defence for the same reason
that the Russians do in the open field:
they have no hope of safety in flight;
their only chance is in standing resolutely
together. - :.

SINGULAR MATRIMONIAL MISTAKE
There has been good deal of gossip oc.
casiened at Wortley and Holbeck during
the past week by curious marriage blum.
der. The bride and bridegroom, accom-
panied by an individual who was to act
as the. father and give away the bride,
presented themselves for marriage at
Wortley church, on Saturday morning
last. The ceremony was gone through
with the greatest solemnity, and the par
ties entered the Vestry to sign the regis
ter; and, strange to say, the bride had
been married to the father instead of TO
the bridegroom. The clergyman having
no knowledge of the parties, was entirely
free from blame, and said to the bride,
pointing to the father "You are that
mans WIFE" "0h, sir, that cannot be-:
he Is already married, and has a small
family" or course, all parties were
amazed at the blunder; the clergyman did
not know what to do under the circum.
stances until he had got the advice Of some
higher authority, and they were request
ed TO call again. The parties went to the
church again on Monday, accompanied
by the brides own father, and were mar.
Tied proPeriy-Leeds Times.
