PRINTERS RoLLERs.-We clipped an article
from some paper, in which it was stated that
composition rollers made of glue and sugar
were superior to those made of glue and no
lasses. Handing the article to our foreman,
he forthwith experimental with tine most com,
plete success. He took six pounds of the best
glue, and having melted it in the usual way
put it into four pounds of the best brown su.
gar. After remaining over the fire about 40
minutes, being well stirred during the time
the roller was cast. 1t proved to be be.uti.
full one far surprising in every particular, any
that has ever been made for this Office. We

SNUFF-Box OF HoGa, THE PoEr.-Yester.
day we had the pleasure of taking a "pinch ~
from u snuff-bOx, which was carried for many
years by the Ettrick Shepherd, tie Scotch
poet and author, James Hogg, to whom it
was presented by r. A. Smith, music Il COM
poser, and an intimate friend of Mr. Hogg.-
1t will be remembered that the poet died in
1886, since which time, until recently, the
relic has been kept by his widow. 1t is low
in possession of Mr.. Robert Clarke, of the firm
of Patterson & Clarke, Booksellers, on Sixth
street, to whom it was sent by Mrs. Hogg, as
a testimonial Of her gratitude for the active
part he took in obtaining and forwarding to
her contribution some months .ago-a char
liable and laudabe movement which, we be-
lieve, was set on foot by Mr., Patterson. This
box is what in Scotland is denominated q
" snuff NULL" being made from cows horn
turned into very pretty shape. A cap, or
cover, piece of variegated goats horn, set
in silver band around the mouth of the null,
forms the fastening. On the lower band is
engraved. ITO Mr.. James Hogg, from his
friend, Il. A. Smith" Engraved on the band
OF the lid is, "To Robert Clarke, from Mrs.
N. Hogg, 1885," The actual value of this
relic may not be great, but the associations
linked around 1.-THE fact of its having been
the pocket companion of one of Scotia's
sweetest bards and most faithful authors, of
its having often passed around the board when
those worthless who directed "Old Ebony" met
in the Noctes Ambrosian@," attach to it q
value not to be reckoned in dollars and cents.

n@. Mr.. Spates left watermelon at the
Office of the Red Wing Sentinel, Minnesota,
80 large that the editor and his devils lived
upon it a week, and then made boat of the
shell and went fishing in the river at Red
Wing.-Post.
We are willing to endorse most of the above,
and will say that it was something of melon,
but don't compare with some pumpkins and
squashes raised about here. Mr.. Dodge left
at our Office door, the other day, a pumpkin in
which, if the cold weather don't set in too
soon, we think of wlntering our COW. And
Mr.. Lesson, learning that the pumpkin was
not quite large enough for both COW and calf,
Immediately sent US a squash in order to pro-
vide place for the calf and thereby save US
the expense o. building barn.-Sent'nel.

that the common people Of that city are

n. The NEW Steamboat Law' works
well on the Western rivers, as is seen in
the great diminution of the number of fatal
disasters. The Inspectors at New Orleans
report that during the year ending Septem-
Der LIST, the number Of boats subject to their
inspection have carried 600, 900 passengers;
yet there has not been an explosion of a
boiler or collapse of q flue, nor have any
lives been lost on passenger boats from the
effects Of steam or collision.
The report at Cincinnati is almost if not
quite as favorable.

The CRIMEA GOLD CoUNrRY.-Dr. F.
Maynard's From Paris to Sebastopol," has
the following:
If England and France were to take pos
session of the whole Crimea, and wished, with
out keeping up an army of occupation at a
vast expense, to prevent Russia from ever re-
establishing her power, they have only to de-
cree that hencefOrth the Crimea should be an
independent state, selfgoverned; and to attract
thither, in less than year, as many millions
of inhabitants as could be lodged on the soil,
it would be sufficient for them to declare the
ports free, and to plant on the Tchatir Dagh
banner inviting the gold seekers of every ma
ton to come and search its sides. In the
rocks of the T'chatir, the Dimirdgi, Sinab and
Aluchta, there is enough to pay the expenses
of war if it lasted century. Perhaps my
readers may feel astonished at my making such
q statement. They would be less astonished
if they knew the authorities on which / rely.
l do no; merely appeal to geographical docu-
ments and the history of past times to prove
infallibly that the gold mines of the Tchatir
Dagh exist, and have been worked; also in
woke the testimony of those who, de uisu de
manu-, have seen aud touched veins of gold
those of the Trial and all the known Mines
1t suited the policy of the Cars to leave these
mines unworked, and to efface the recollection
of them as far as possible. If they were
worked by free men, that would have attracted
from every corner of Europe a multitude of
adventures, men Of enterprising character, on
single point of the empire; it would have
been kindling a conaagration which they could
not have mastered If, on the other hand,
serfs and prisoners were employed as miners,
the Crimea was not, like the Ural, so remote
from Europe that the groans of the slave mar
tyrs could be smothered, and they might have
escaped the fangs of the despot. The Russian
Government, consequently, proclaims the auri-
ferrous strata Of these mountains, which evil
IDENTITY attach the Alps to the Caucasus, to be
fabulous. The Crimea, within ten years, will
become the EldOrado of the Old World"
