Foreign News by the America.

Our dispatches furnish meager morsels Of
foreign nOws. There is nothing transpiring Of
the Secret Conference, at Zurich, of the late
belligsrents, except that the representative of
Ssardinis has been occasionally absent from the
meetings. We suppose he had to stand. one
side, while France and Austria talked over
tender points involving Emmanusls influence
in Italy. Some spirited republican manifss-
tations ore being made at Parma. Poor Italy
has, like Mexico, volanic throes-every once
In while an eruption. A spirited contest oc-
Cured ut Frankfort.on-the-R Rhine, between
Pussian and Austrian soldiers-the entendente
oordiale is disturbed. The Russian and Indian
loans intimate that the Great Powers of Eu-
rope are providing the people, to keep them in
subsection.

The London Times Office.

Mr.. Story, son of one Of the proprietors Of
the Rochester Democrat, writes to that paper
an account of his visit to tho Office of the Lon
don Times. We copy a portion Of this mar
rative:
One of the most interesting and novel de-
partments of the establishment is that in which
the stereotyping process is carried on. You
know, perhaps, already, that every number OF
the Times is printed from stereotype plates, thus
saving great part Of the wear and tear of the
type. The stereotype plate is taken from tie
"form" in three minutes, by new process, in
vented by Swiss, and known only to himself.
A thin layer of soft and damp papier-mache
first receives the impression Of the type, and
after it has been hardened by the application
of heat, the melted lead is poured on which is
to form the stereotype plate. The papier-mache
has the power of resisting the action of the
melted lead, and comes out Of the fiery trial
uniDjured and almost unscorched. The plates
are remelted every day after the issue Of the
day is printed from them, aud the waste OF
type metal from day to day is very slight.
By this power of multiplying the number Of
forms from which the same side of the paper
can be printed, the Times can use three or four
presses at once, and thus print its fifty y-nine
thousand copies, on an emergency, in two
hours time. The Times employs in its estab-
lishment some three hundred and fifty persons.
1t has eighteen reporters at the Houses of Par
lament, and for these, as well as the majority
of its compostors, the working hours are the
night hours exclusively. 1t owns four cabs,
which are employed solely in carrying reporters
and reports at nigt to and fro between Printing
house Square and the Palace at Wesminster
The reporters relieve each other at the Houses
every quarter hour, and thus, though the debate
in the Commons last till four o'clock in the
morning, the Times gives it in full by sunrise
though it cover two whole pages of the journal

A STRONG Box.-The impossibility of rem
dering strong box altogether safe against
theft by means Of skeleton keys, has led a
locksmith in Frankfort on the. Main to bit
upon the ingenious idea of constructing q
strong box without any keyhole at all, and
which even the owner himself cannot open.
why, what's the use Of such box ? you would
ask. But, observe, inside is clockwork, ths
hand of which the owner places at the hour and
minute when he again wants access to the box
The clockwork begins to move as soon as the
lid is shut, and opens the lock from the inside
at the moment which the hand indicates
Time, dependent upon the owner, is the key
to the lock, key which can mother be stoler
nor initiated. ."a slE ee

Guardianship of Female Prisoners.

In the English penitentiary the female pris-
oners are under the management Of officers of
their o,cn r,,,the Governor himself being re-
strictsd, by the rules, from going around their
part of the prison, except in the company OF
tho Matron, or Task Mistress. The prisoners
are entitled to per centags on all their earn
ings; and the amount is set apart for their use
on being discharged out Of custody. We, in
Cincinnati, as, from time to time, the PENNY
PRESS has given token, have an outrageous, in
human way of keeping and treating those
frail ones that got in our jails. Suppose the
Committee Of Prisons should signify to the
public desire to have overtures from parties
in good faith to take care Of these unfortunates?
The nuns Of certain orders make business Of
such cases, and, at times, Quaker ladies have
undertaken such duties, without charge.

Editors About.

We had q call from Colonel SAN PIKE, Of
the Ninth Legion, Mount Sterling, Ky. The
names of the papers he has previously con-
trolled have singularly been 'legion" also.
General GREENE, Of the Vincennes Sun, shone
in upon US, starting our "calorc" by the
mere light of his countenance-so sensitive
is our Ericsson engine. The General does a
Land-offce business in his newspaper, and
is an Agent for Government. Great is Indi-
anal Great is Kentucky! "Press" on!

Slavery in the District Of Columbia
l-.-
A HARD CASE.

The facts narrated below furnish the
most unquestionable evidence that the max
i'm Of Chief Justice Taney, which asserts
that "black men have no rights which
white men are bound to respect" is prac-
tical fact in the District Of Columbia:
On the 18th day Of March last, Enan-
uel Mason free colored man Of this city,
and District Of Columbia> was tried and
convicted, in the Criminal Court Of this
city and District, on the grave charge Of
"harboring and entertaining the slave boy
Ben, in February last, for one hundred
hours!p' The indictment contained three
counts, under sonc old barbarous colonial
law, coucocted and devised by whom no
body knows-long since obsolete and for
gotten, for its nominal date is 1907, nearly
100 years before the American Revolution;
and the fine, under said old "BR1T1sH Act" )"
was, some hundred pounds of tobacco per
ho2tr for o?,c hundred hours" 's
The facts in the case arc these: Said
Mason and his wife we're once slaves of Miss
Sally OF Sarah Forrest, and all resided
near Malboro, Md. Some years since, said
Emanuel Mason was taken sick, and was
confined with infammatory rheumatism,
and was, by the doctors, given up as incu-
rable. The mistress then offered to sell
him for 800 dollars, but no one would buy
him After a long while, he began to get
q little better, and his mistress then offered
him for $500, but nobody would buy him
Then the mistress told Mason that she
would sell him to himself for the S3oO, and
he might pay her by instalments. He
did agree to buy himself, and has since
paid all Of the $500. y =. -. III
In the meantime, he has partially recov-
cred his health and strength, has fired his
wife by the month and by the year, kept
house, and raised several children at his
own expense; and as soon as they have be.
come large enough for service-say about
ten years-these children have all been ta-
ken from him and put to service, or sold,
by his late mistress, who is still the mis-
tress Of his wife. About six years since,
the said Mason moved to Washington with
his slave wife, where the mistress had Ia
ken up her residence. He brought with
him the last three children Of has family,
bone Of his bone and blood Of his blood, but
the mistress claimed them Is her property,
although all reared at Mason's expense.
The oldest Of the three an active girl,
now about fourteen years ofage ta-
ken away four or five years since; the next,
a. sou, was taken away about two Or three
yea1s since. Then there was left only
"Little Ben," now about ten years old, if
alive! '#35 S s53 " y u
i No doubt the father felt that Affection
for the child which kind nature prompted.
About one year since, o. perhaps more, the.
mistress took the wife and mother) home
