lady, Mrs. Barnes, who. octogenarian as she
is, seems to be rejuvenized by thinkinr of tho

she is anxious to take the whole of them

IN the field, it is certain that by the time the
children arrive, there will be everything done

The poet Campbell says that he once heard
lady Of distinguished beauty and rank de-
fend Sir Thomas Lawrence from the charge
of having been guilty Of paying attentions TO
ladies', without intending to follow them mp
by an offer of his hand A gentleman re-
marked that he thought Sir Thomas was
highly blameable.

have been herself the temporary object OF the

"No, not so much," was still the lady's
musing response.
"Can you really, madam" said the gentle
man again, defend such behavior as deser-

"Why, sir" interrupted the lady, "to con-

WHAT PRINTING EsTaBLIsIIMENTs ARE

Since the recent transfer Of the interest Of
Mrs. Chambers in the 1T. Louis Republican"
TO Mr.. Knapp, who was the partner of her
late husband, wo have been much edited by
seeing leading articles on the growth aud es-
timated value of printing establishments in
general. and of the Missouri "RepuLlIcan" in
particularly st. Louis "Dem0crat' learns
from a source entitled to credit, that the sum
paid by Mr.. X napp TO Mrs. Chambers for
her half OF the Republican establishments,
was S44 600 and adds that this sale fixes
the value of the Republican at about $ll5,-
600, 1t is a valuable property present and
prospective. Mr.. Knapp is now its sole pro-
prietor. This being the criterion of value,
the Republican is worth more than double Of
the old L. s. Gazette of Philadelp phia, which,
when it was at the height oc It's prosperity in
lSi4, was sold by the Hon. Joseph Il. Chan
dicr, then its editor and sole proprietor, for
$4,000. We annex the estimated value of
some of the leading journals in New York ::

much strained, being obliged to ride back
wards upon the machine, at one end Of the
reel, having to reach fully across the entire
width of the machine with long handled
rake to gather the grain and lay it off of the
machine. The horses on the machine were
much troubled by strong lateral pressure
against their shoulders, occasioned by the
tung of the machine. This Reaper, on the
whole, is much too cumbersome and heavy for
two horses. However, it has proven itself
vastly superior to any Of the inventions of
the Old World and from the fact of its great
successes heretofore, particularly at the Lon
don Exhibition in 1851, it elected good deal
of admiration and curiosity. The contest
was now fairly narrowed down to three ma
chimes, Manny's, Wright's and McCormick's
But on starting, Wrights again broke down,
and left the struggle exclusively to the two
machines, Manny's and McCormick's. The
two machines were then to be changed in
presence Of the Jurors, from the capacity of
reaping to that of moving, Manny's made the
change in one minute-McCormick'si in twen-
ty minutes. With three men each machine
made one cut through the field of grass and
back. Manny's machine doing the best of
the two. Then the change was again made
for reaping and in the same time respectively
into a wheat field. Mannyis machine cut
three swaths. and with an ease of action and
perfection of work, which fairly placed it far
beyond any further competition though Nc
Cormcks Reaper cut two swaths, and in q
workman-like manner. Even if the two ma
chimes were equal as to the quality Of the
work, yet it was observed Manny's would
have the advantage of being the most COM
pact less cumbersome, and Of much less
| weight than McCormick's and in Manny's
| there is no lateral pressure against the horses
as by McCOrmick's also Of being much the
| lightest draft, and more easily adiGstible to
different heights Of cutting, and most easily
convertible for the two purposes, reaping and
moving. This seemed TO be the only ma
chine against which there could be no obec.
! tons urged. We could give no better evi-
d"nce of the facts above, than the fact that
Mr. Mable had upon the conclusion Of the
machine, two of which we heard for France,
one offer was one hundred thousand francs
and OF one hundred and twenty thousand
francs. We have since learned that arrange
ments have been made for the manufacture
of one thousand of these machines in this city
for the next harvest
The decision and report Of the Jury will
not be published until the latter part of Oc-
| tober, yet all the laurelS, we are free to con-
fess, have been glowingly won by Americans
and this achievement cannot be looked upor
with indifference, as is but plainly fore-shad
ows the ultimate destiny of the New World
