THE LIrHorYPE PRooEss.-It was great
advance in printing, when page of type was
laid on soft plaster forming mould, into which
melted type metal was poured, reproducing, in
solid, the original page on plate of moderate
thickness. But an improvement in this mode
of operating has been successfully introduced,
under the name of the lthotype process. In
stead of the usual type metal for the plate,
composition is used whose basis is clay or earth,
plastic at first but becoming harder than type
metal. This material serves both for mould
and the plate in relief The surface of the
letter and the edge have an extraordinary per-
lection. The plates are much more durable
than those of type metal, and much lighter and
cheaper, and require but half the quantity of
ink commonly used The plates can easily be
bent to conform to cylinder process, and the
process is equally applicable to plans, maps,
and outline cuts. But its greatest claims are
accuracy of line and durability. Half mil
lion of impressions may be made by one of
these presses without wearing out the plates.
coal-felds of North America extend over an
area of ninety thousand square miles, whilst
those of Great Britain occupy an area of only
five thousand square miles. The masses of
vegetable remains found in coal leave no doubt
that it is of vegetable origin; and, assuming
such to be the fact, geological writer's have cal
culated the length of time that would be re-
quired to vegetate and produce such vast mass
es of carbon as are deposited in beds of coal.
1t has been estimated, by observations in grow
ing plants that it would require twenty
square feet of surface to produce one pound of
carbon; and supposing that the plants grew on
the spot, it would occupy six thousand and
ninety-two years to make bed of coal three
feet in thickness. And as the beds of coal in
South Wales are found to be one hundred and
twenty feet thick it would, according to this
mode of calculation, have required two hun
dred and forty three thousand six hundred and
eighty years for the depositment of the whole
of the coal strata. This opinion is entertained
by some biologists of undoubted ability and,
whether reliable or not, the matter suggests
some curious reflections as to the period at
which the formation of the earth took place.

The ATTENTION OF GREAT MEN TO LITTLE
THIses.--Mr. Irving, in his life Of Washing
ton, says that great and good man "was care
full Of small tbings," bestowing attention on
the minutest affairs of his household as closely
as upon the most important concerns Of the
Republic. The editor of the Merchanfs Maga-
sine, in speaking of this fact, says mo man
ever made fortune, or rose to greatness in
any department, without being careful of
small tbings.' AS the beach is composed of
grains Of sand, as the ocean is made up of
drops Of water, so the ,uiliionaire's fortune is
the aggregation of the profits of single adyen-
turers, often inconsiderable 10 amount. Every
eminent merchant, from GiTsrd and Astor
down, has beenl noted for his attention of
details. Few distinguished lawyers have ever
practioed in the courts who have not been
remarkable for similar characteristics. IT
was one of the most striking pecularities of
the first Napoleon's mind. The most petty
details of his houshold expenses, the most
trivial facts relating to his troops, were in his
opinion, as worthy Of his attention as,the tao,
tics of battle, the plans of @ campaign, or the
revision of code. Demosthenes, the worlds
uprivalled orator, was as anxious about bis
gestures or intonations as about the texture Of
his argument or its garnitureof words. Before
such great examples, and in the very highest
walks Of intellect, how contemptible the con-
duct Of the small minds who despise small
thinQsb -.

The Family Circle of States.


The American family Of States whose cit-
izsns have just refreshed themselves at their
Christmas iresides, numbers thirty-three.
This great family has outnumbered even the
expectancy Of Washington. With our growth
let us not forget the counsels of the Father Of
his Country. On the 18th of June, 1888, even
at that early day, when at Newberg, N. Y, as
the retiring Commando Chief Of the armies
of the Confederation, he addressed circular let
ters to the Governors Of the several States,
counselipg them as to their general welfare.
1. The establishment Of an indissoluble
Union Of States under one Federal head.
2. "A sacred regard to public justice.
3. The adoption Of proper peace sstab-
lishment. e-
4. The prevalence D. that pacific and
friendly disposition among the people of the
United States which will induce them to for
get their local prejudicos and politics, to make
those mutual concessions which are requisite
to the general prosperity, and in some in
stances to sacrifice their individual advantages
to the interests of the community.
These words of affectionate advice should at
this unhappy period of sectional estrangement
be heard and needed by every citizen. We
are family, and there should be an affection,
apoliteness in families, for no where is this
soother of enmities and cementer of friendships
more required.
The West extends the Olive Branch Of peace
to the acceptance of the North aud South.
Would you taste the tranquil scene?
Be sure your bosoms be serene
Devoid Of hate, devoid of strife,
Devoid of all that poisons life
And much 1t walls yon in their place,
To graft the love Of human race

Christmas season--Its Pleasurable As
bOciati0ns.' I-.

The whole Christmss week is Holiday.
School children are not the only ones to par
take Of the joyous influence Of this festal sea-
son. As Washington Irving said, "Amidst
the general call to happiness, the hustle Of the
spirits and the stir of the affections which
prevail at this period, what bosom can remain
insensibls 1t is, indeed, the season Of regen-
Grated foeling-the season for kindling, not
merely the fire Of hospitality in the hail. but
the genial fame of charity in the heart; the
scene Of early love again rises green to men,
oyy beyond the sterile waste Of years. and the
idea of home, fraught with the fragrance Of
houe-dweiling joys teammates the dropping
spirits, as the Arabian breeze will sometimes
watt the freshness Of the distant fields to the
weary pilgrim Of the desert"

As this distinguished official and United
States Senator elect of Kentucky, in our opin.
ion, will be the nominee of the next Demo
cratic National Convention, and perhaps mex
President of tho United States, we give the
spirit Of his declaration Of principles made III
speech delivered by him in the Hall of The
House of Representatives, at Frankfort, Ky.
on Wednesday last.
THE DRED SCOTT DECISION.
He approves it in all it's parts, especially
that property in slaves is lawful in Territories
TERRITORIAL sovEREIGNTY.
His opinion is in accord with the decision oil
the United States Supreme Court, that neither
the General Government nor the Territorial
Legislature can exclude or confiscate slave
property.
FRIENDLY, BUT NOT UNFRrENDLY, LEGISLATION.
He docs not believe iu the doctrine of IN :.
friendly legislation. He advocates, if neces
sary, the Intervention Of Congress TO protect
slave property in the Territories. He deems
present action unnecessary, as the Courts up-
der the Dred Scott decision are bound to main
tain the rights of Shareholders in the Terri
tories. If adequate laws are not yet enacted,
such legislation must be had or the Govern
ment is failure. He contends that the true
policy Of the South is to lot tho matter rest
with the Executive, with the present laws and
the decisions Of the Courts. He says: owe
stand in good position--we have the Execu-
tive, we have the laws, We have the decision
of the United States Supreme Court, and this
is great advance from where We stood ton
years ago.
ThA vin- p--.'dVnt msy, PuSslpIy, be con-
sidered 10 have strayed, somewhat, from the
agreed principles Of his party. The Cincin.
natl platform declares that the only sound and
safe solution Of the "slavery question, upon
which the great national idea of the people Of
this whole country can repose in its deter
mined conservatism Of the Union, non Inter
ference by Congress with slavery in State and
Territory, or in the District Of Columbia"

All coincide with us in saying that Lambertville

kind of celebration, in fact demonstration of
the old Hnnterdon patriotism. We conceive it
to be our duty to embrace the opportunity OF
publicly enjoying ourselves on the anniversary
of the birth of our glorious freedom, and should
it be necessary we will parade the Delaware

defraying of expenses and all our citizens will
show themselves ready to meet any emergency
