NEATNEss AND IMPROVEMENT IN PRINTING
The Chicago Printers Cabinet, (monthly) of June
18th, says:
The letter from an editor in another column, Is
sensible and TO the point and we endorse its lam
guage with all our heart The suggestion IL con-
tans of a reward for the best printed paper is a
good one, and If acted upon, would no doubt ma
terially improve the general appearance OF country
and city papers.
The following is part of the letter referred to
by the Cabinet; which was written by the editor
of the Horizon (Wis.) Argus:
Too little pains is taken by printers, both city
and country with their papers, With many, a
mammoth sheet is beautiful one, no matter If II
be printed on wrapping paper, with the poorest
ink imaginable, and filed with any quantity OF
outlandisn cuts.
I for one would like to see reward offered for
the best printed country paper in each state, and
would gladly help make up a stake purse" OF
from 300 to 500 dollars, for the lucky man, to be
What say you to the idea? Yours, &c.
The papers of Michigan might perhaps be as
much benefited as those of Wisconsin and Illinois
by the offer of purse to the best printed one
We will contribute ten dollars our share to such
an object; twelve consecutive weekly numbers to
be exhibited as specimen. Printers of Michigan
what is your response? United effort and good
degree of laudable ambition might make up very
handsome premium for some honest one OF oul
craft TO carry off with well-earned honors.

Uy In the Times of June 10th, we made few
remarks on the mutilation and alteration of news
paper articles; giving, at that time, one instance.
Another case is now at hand.
In setting up F." the article our first page this
week, entitled HAPPINESS we thought that the
poetry in it did not seem so beautiful as of Old
The sense did not quite as clearly appear and the
metrical measure seemed less regular and did not
fall so smoothly on the ear. We had reference to
the original in our possession, as first published in
Peterson's Magazine; and at once saw that its old
beauty was somewhat marred. We inserted it on
the outside as it originally appeared, and here
subjoin the modern revision:
ABoU BEN ADHEM, (may his tribe increase),
Awoke one night from deep dream of peace,
And saw within the moonlight OF his room
Making it rich, like lily in bloom
An Angel writing in book of gold
Exceeding peace had made Ben Adhem bold,
And to the Presence in the room he said
What wrtest thou? The vision raised its head,
And with look, made all of sweet accord,
Answered: the names of those who love the Lord
And is mine one g asked Abou Nay not so,'
Replied the Angel. Abou spoke more low,
But cheerily still, and said pray thee, then,
Write me as one who loves his felIow-men.'
The Angel wrote, and vanished. The next night
1t came again, with great waking light,
And showed the names whom love ofGod had blest,
And 10 BEN ADHEM's name led all the rest!
Saying nothing of eight variations from the
original in capitalization and indentaton, but
counting only alterations in words and differences
in punctuation we find nineteen errors in short
piece of eighteen lines Some of these errors are
not essentially derogatcry from the beauty of the
poem, but the Introduction of "and said"; the
alteration of in voice to with look" or the
substitution of it" for "he," are not calculated
to improve the measure or add to the excellence
of the original.

MATTERS IN PROVIDENCE We learn from
the Providence Journal that the steam cotton
mill in that city, running 10000 spindles,
closed work on Saturday and all the opera
tives were discharged. The mill has been for
some tima$yunning short time, working up
the stock on hand. The whole number en-
ployed there, when all the machinery was in
operation, was over three hundred, and the
monthly wages amounted to between four and
five thousand dollars. f
On Saturday night Mr., Josiah S. Baker,
grocer, was returning from his store, when he
was seized by an unknown man and robbed
of $40. About an hour snd a half atterward,
it was ascertained that his store was one fire,
but the flames were extingished, although
not until the stock was somewhat damaged.
Fully insured. M

FAILURES I'M 1887 AND lS57.-A list of the
failures in Boston during the year 1887, be-
fore us, contains the namae of one hundred
forty-two business houses. During the f.
nancial crisis at that time, six large manufac-
turing corporations, having their head quar-
tiers in Boston, suspended. seven Banks failed
i'll the city, together with the Nahant Bank,
Lynn, Chelsea Bank, Chelsea, and the Mid
dlesex Bank, East Cambridge. The list of
bankrupts twenty years ago includes the
names of numbers who have since retrieved
their fortunes and now occupy honorable and
commanding positions in society. In many
cases, however, the parties have never fully
recovered their former standing in financial
and social circles. The long array of names
suggests many painful thoughts, as it reveals
how extensive and severe were the financial
difficulties of the period, and how many
homes were made desolate by its terrible train
of disasters.
A list of failures III Boston the present year
contains the names OF seventy eight concerns,
and includes wider range of bushes than
is generally supposed, we should infer, from
the tone of remark in many quarters. Gro
GERS. Booksellers, Boot and Shoe Dealers,
Hardware Dealers, Importers of Canton
Goods, Produce Dealers, Dry Goods Houses
An examination reveals that very large per
cent, of the various departments of the Dry
Goods Trade have gone through the hard
times this year without failure. Persons not
aware of the immense extent of this trade,
and the vast interests connected with it, have
doubtless oftentimes been inconsiderate in
their comments upon the class of our fellow
citizens engaged therein. Let us give few
figures Since the beginning of the present
teversh state OF the money market-com-
mencing with the failure of the Ohio Life and
Trust Company-ten Dry Goods and Wooden
Jobbers, out of enc hundred and two houses
of the class in Boston, have suspended. Of
the thirty.seven Dry Goods Commission
Houses in this city, eight have suspended. OF
the eighteen Wholesale Clothiers in Boston,
four have failed. Several of the firms alluded
to in the above statements have already COM
promised with their creditors, and settled
their affairs at from sixty to eighty per cent.
We have heard the opinion expressed in high
quarters, that the failed dry goods dealers of
Boston this year will pay seyenty.fve cents
upon the average. This is a much larger per
centage, we should judge, than win be paid
in other branches of business this year.-Bos-
ton Transcript.

The HARD TIMES IN WESTERN MAssAoHU-
SETS. The Springfield Republican has been
collecting facts in regard to the condition
of affairs in the principal manufacturing
towns and villages of that section Of Massa-
chusetts, and thus sums them up:
''Onr details show, that, as compared with
the LIST Of September, Greenfield has a total Of
400 unemployed persons, and Shelburne Falls
200-total for Franklin county 600, North
ampton 500. Ware 700, Williamsburg $50,
South Hadley 200. Huntington 100, and
Easthampton 300--total for Hampshire 205O /;
Springfield 1000, Chicopee 800, Hoyoke
/ 1000, and Wsstfeld 200-total for Hampden
county 2500; Adams 500, Pittstield 100, Lee
200, Dalton loo, and miscellaneous 200
total for Berkshire HOO. These figures are
but approximations in some cases, however I:
but basing our calculations upon the informa-
ton they give, and the other details we haye
received, we think it may be fairly estimated
that the number of persons in the several
counties, who had employment on the LIST of
September. and have none now, is as follows:
Franklin 1000, Hampshire $500, Hampden
1880, Berkshire 20G0; total 5000.
This is an immense subtraction from the
productive labor of these counties, and must
tell heavily upon their wealth. But even this
amount of totally suspended labor, or sub
stantially such, is equalled, if not surpassed,
by the reduction from working short time.
Our returns show, that, while three fourths,
IT not more, of the manufacturing establish
ments are kept in operation, not more than
one tenth of them work full time, or do
an ordinary days work each day."

A COOP RBPLY.-Four or five weeks since,
three four articles appeared in the public prints,
charging great dereliction of duty upon Aaron
Lyon, Esq, the Secretary of the Worcester

such charges to be entirely unfounded, and as
reply under such circumstances is usual, we had
been looking for one but had not found it until

twelve opposing votes out of four hundred and

Can anything be more ridiculous than the
afiectation Of surprise and regret on the part
Of the President, at the departure of Walker
on his new tillibustering expedition There
was hardly the decent pretence Of secrecy in
his movements. When he first arrived al
New Orleans from Central America, he de-
clared his purpose of returning, aud he went
through the country repeating the declara-
ton. His movements have been telegraphed
to the newspapers, the arrival and departure
of his agents have been noted, and the plans
of his expedition published. He never could
have departed, as he did, without the conniv-
ance Of the officers at New Orleans and
they knew whom they were serving, and the
President knew what they were permitting.
The President now talks OF removing the
officers who are guilty Of the violation Of neu-
trality laws. Then let him begin by remov-
ing himself. PROV, Journal.

SILVER MINE in ALABAMA.-We learn,
says the Huntsville Advocate Of the 18th inst,
that an old silver mine has been rediscovered
in Hancock county, near the Morgan and
Walker lines. 1t is on tho lands Of man
named Blake, and a party Of Georgians are
now at work at it. Il was walled up with
solid masonry, which had to be broken up
with powder, and then the mine was opened
again. IL must have been worked hundreds
OF years ago, as trees are now growing over
and around it. The ore is said to be rich.
