THE NEW PRINTING PROCESS,

The discovery of natural self-printing, by NJ Auer
of Berlin; is considered of the most notable in
the art of printing, since Guttenbergs invention
In order to obtain copy from the original cores
pondng thereunto in its minutes details, be tia plant
a flower, an insect piece of cloth, any mani
mate object the following method is pursued: Place
the object to be printed between well polished cop
per plate and lead plate and then let the two plates
pass between two cylinders moving parallel to each
other. The pressure produced by the cylinders
causes the original to leave perfect picture Of it.
self upon the lead plate This lead plate needs no
special preparation, common lead plates answering
every purpose, if they only smooth on one side
After being submit ed to pressure between the cylin-
ders, the lead plate will longer be perfectly fiat,
but slightly bent to the form of the cylinder; it
must therefore, be placed upon smooth, hard sur
face, that its shape may be restored both through
its own weight and little mechanical aid. As soon
as this is done, copies can be taken from
the plates if it be charged with any colOred fluid,
and treated generally as any copperpate form when
an impression is desired. Only limited number of
comics can be taken from the lead plate on account
of its softness; but to obtain a large number of
comics the lead form must be stereotyped or 9 gal
yanic precipitate thrown upon it to make printing
plate, from which proper form may be Obtained
The lead plates only need be subjected to the action
Of smoothing cylinder to render them again fit for
use, and the copper plate may also be used again,

PRICE on BEEF IN NEW YORK.

The price Of beef cattle has now reached point
that must either have the effect to produce greater
supply or the inhabitants Of cities must lessen the
cousmuption of meat. We have chronieled, during
the last six months many most extraordinary sales
of bullocks in our regular reports of the Cattle
Market and noted days when all the cattle in mark.
ct sold at prices such the oldest butchers in the
city never had before dreamed Of and certainly nc
one supposed would be equaled again In this all
were mistaken. Two thousand head of buIlocks
sold yesterday at Bulls Head at higher prices fol
the meat, taking into account the quality and the
fact that hides and fat are one and half cents q
pound lower than last Spring, than beef was ever
sold for in August in the City of New York. if not
in fact higher than beef of the same quality was
ever sold In America at any season of the year
Whole droves of Ohio steers, right from the grass
In just fair condition to commence feeding to make
stabilized beef, sold at prices equivalent to 123 cents
pound fer the beef, while hundreds of the best
cattle offered. none of which were extraordinary
sold at IL and IA cents pound for the beef. Whai

FORREST AT THE WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGs.-"M !.

rier, writes as follows from the Greenbrier White

We have among the crowd two or three lions of the
first magnitude. We have the great theatrical lion,
MIR Forrest with his herculean figure aud maguif-
cent head head that might have walked out of
Titians canvass This gentleman seems to wear an
iron mask which is rarely laid aside as that of
the unfortunate individual who has rendered the
word proverbial But when he does unmask, the
features disclosed are most saddening. With a
princely fortune and a worldwide fame, he is evil
IDENTIFY joyless man. Fame has thrown the glow
of its purple royal upon his path andyet he is dead
to all the sweet hopes and joys of the household of
human life. The blissful private ife-that close
centre round the individual MANS a sad solitude.
For him there is no light of welcoming hearth fires
no shadow of children's play upon the walls no
domestic life where his spirit may find inspiration
of strength and space for rest. For his declining
years there are no such ties and claims.

SPRINGFIELD, aug. IA, 1891.
MKssRs EDIroRs The contest in Tennessee is
decided, and the principles of the Democratic party
are again endorsed by the people In this Senate
rial District we have had heated battle Our gal
liant Menees went into the canvass with majority
Of some five hundred against him, and an able and
accomplished antagonist to vindicate the himsy
platform of principles advocated by the sO-calied
American party. AMI, although Col. Stark IS as
able debster as his patty can afford in this state
yet for the purpose of holding on to the dls'ric'
defeating DR.. Menees, public barbecue was gwen
by his party in this county, at which time ana place
Gen. James NJ. Quarles took the stump, and tried,
by advocating the claims of his party to bolster up
it's falling and SCATTERING pyramid. Not content
with his efforts, the Hon. N. s. Brown was brought
ont from the city to rectfy the condition of things
But in spite of all their efforts, long and latored
our persevering and talented DR.. hourished his
battle-axe and the victory was his. And while a
great deal is due to those who ardently and Wig
orously came to his support, much more is due to
him for the manner in which he fought the energy
which he displayed in conducting the canvass, and
the victories he achieved upon every field where his
steel clashed with that of his adversary. And we
are PFVuO VI Tue triumph, anu prOuueC slu OF the
champion who, when rendered our flag at the con-
vention at GAINESVILLE tossed it to the breeze and
beneath its ample folds marched all over this Sena-
torial district calling the people to rally around it
and stand while it stands forth the embodiment of
thetrue principles of American liberty and Today he
returns it to US with not stripe erased or star pol
luted, bearing for its motto such word defeat
but everywhere spread all over in characters of
living light, Victory Victory. And while we do not
wish to dsparage the claims of any gentleman whose
name may be suggested call the attention of the
Senators elect in the State to the of SEN
atSr, DIR. Menees,) as gentleman in every way
competent and worthy to preside in the Senatorial
body at its next session. All who are acquainted
with him know him to be a man of dignity and tai
ents, firm and unfinching in his positions when he
believes they are right. We would be glad to see
our Senator elected Speaker of the Senate. Yet if
the members should select another, we succumb.

EARLY RIsING.-The difference between rising
every morning at 6 and at 8, in the course of 40
years, amounts to 900 hours, years, III days
and Is hours, which will afford 8 hours day for
exactly ten years. which is the same if ten years
were added to a mans life. What important
consideration is this Sleep from 10 at night until
g in the morning is sufficient for any man in good
health; indeed, such early rising is necessary to
preserve good health either in man or woman.
