Mode or prakIns Shoe. By steam.

The Haverhill (Mass) Pabisher gives an
account of steam shoe factory in that place
for sewing the seams and pegging the shoes
The machinery is all worked BY small Eve
horse power engine. In the basement of the
building are the machines for cutting, strip
ping, rolling and shaping the soles. These
are then passed to the story above, where
the shoes are lasted, and the outer sole tackled
on by hand, which process prepares them for
pegging. The pegging machines are simple
in their construction and mode of operation,
but perform the work with great dispatch
and accuracy, driving the pegs at the rate Of
fourteen second. One of the most curious
operations of the machine is the manner in
which it manufactures the peg for its own
use. A strip Of wood Of the required width,
and neatly laid in coil one hundred feet in
length, is put into the machine, and at every
revolution it is moved forward, and a peg cut
off and driven into the shoe. The rapidity
and unerring accuracy with which these ma
chimes perform their work is truly astonish.
ing. After being pegged, the shoes are passed
up to the third story, where the bottoms art
smoothed, secured and brushed. The fourth
story is occupied by the stitching machines
tended by females, but run by steam, which
saves a laborious and fatiguing operation.

route for Fortress Monroe. 1t remained at the
Bolton Depot from a late hour Thursday

when it was removed along Howard-street
to Mount Glare Depot, whence it will be re-
moved to Washington, and thence by steamer
to Fortress Monroe, where twill be subjected
to a series of experiments upon the sea beach
at point near the lighthouse. The weight
of this monster gun is about fifty thousand
pounds and is made of the best quality OF
iron. Its length is sixteen feet, diameter al
touch hole four and half feet and eighteen
inches at the bore. Its appearance while
passing along the streets attracted genera
attention, and caused considerable inquiry
Some difficulty was experienced in getting il
firmly placed upon the cars for transporta
tion. A bridge, constructed Of heavy tim
bers, and resting upon two substantial freigh
cars, finally received it. 1t will throw bal
weighing nearly three hundred pounds.

We ask a fair comparison Of the PHxss with the

Judgment Of our readers whether we do not furnish
paper equally attractive at one-half, or less than

THE DAILY Press, since II came under the present
management, has increased rapidly in circulation,
and has now probably as large circulation within
the city of CINCINNATI as any other Journal and Is In
ceasine at rate equal to the most sanguine expec-
tations Of its proprietors.
From its large circulation, and from Its size which
makes advertisements much more conspicuous than
they can be in the largo papers, The DAILY PRESS
offers the most valuable advertising medium in this
city. Its advertising business has largely increased
and its columns are respectable exhibit Of the buHi

that little energy and labor will build up routes

We are ready to mako arrangements for routes In

AN ELECTIVE JUDICIARY.

Hon T. W. Ednonds, a prominent lawyer
and nudge of New York, has written letter de
clninp the Office which had been rendered him of
Recorder of the city of New York This office is
the most important judicial position in the State
of New York, and is the best paid. 1t is rather
remarkable to see such position declined by one
who is entirely competent for it, bit the reasons,
as given by himself, are quite conclusive, and
exhibit in a striking light some of the new evils
arising from an elective judiciary in New York,
and which in the course of time, may extend to all
portions of the country.
His reasons, in brief, are these: His term OF OF
fee would be only three years; on the bench he
would. of course, be withdrawn from political &C
tion whilst on the other hand, ambitious asplrants
for the position could be restrained by no such
consideration, and could easily Dust him long be-
fore he could give any per:nanency to the charac-
ter he should aim to give the Court. He consd-
ers il undoubtedly owing to this cause that since
the adoption in New York of the practice of judi
cial elections not a single Justice of the Supreme
Court has been reelected, and Recorder never.
Besides the shortness of his term would contin-
ually subject him to the imputation of shaping his
decisions with reference to reelection. Judge
Edmonds says he experienced this at the close OF
his judicial career as Judge of the Supreme
Court, and he had abundant to know that
he was thereby shorn of his independence, and
that his usefulness was impaired
Judge Edmonds adds that cases frequent in
the criminal courts of New York of innocence I'M
Justly accused, and often struck down because un-
friended and unprotected. The case in which
Guilt is punished, when it possesses the means OF
intimidating or corrupting the tribunals, are of
rare occurrence. The lessons to be learned from
this letter ought not to De lost on the people OF
any portion of the country.

"PM READY"

Tn the death of Christian there is nothing to
make us dread the loneliness OF the grave, VI
prieye to part with those who hold the dearest
place in our hearts earthly affections The Chris
tan can with confidence exclaim: "Ihough walk
through the dark valley and shadow OF death, |
will fear evil for thou art with me; tiny rou anu
thy staff they comfort me
Sch v.s the assurance of the lamented Mrs
Smithwick as she drew near the terminus OF her
earthly existence When her tongue was almost
palsied in DEATH and her pure and happy spirit
about to be launched into eternity, she exclaimed:
am ready, I'm ready" which suggested the fol-
lowing lines:
They tell of river of death that is drear,
With waves rolling high on its shore;
And that the lone bark as it struggles on there,
By mortals is guided no more
But oh, am ready, I'm ready to go,
For Jesus will now be my guide;
] lean on his breast as the pillows below
Sweep past with the roll of the tide.
They say, too the way DER the river is dark,
That stars never light up its gloom,
But all nov is brightness around me-and bark!
voice comes up from the tomb;
AFear not I m with thee" oh lift up thine eyes,
To scenes that are brighter above;
I'm ready, I'm waiting to soar to the skies,
To Jesus, on pinions Of love-
lis SAID that the grave is all lonely ana chill,
And from it I've shrunk in dismay;
But now my dear Saviour with rapture doth fill,
And beckon my spirit away;
Oh Father in Heaven, to thy care [ resign
Those nearest my heart here below;
Oh bless them, and guide by thy spirit divine;
And now I'm ready to go.
The gates of the city celestial fly wide,
Its heavenly music hear,
As in sweet swelling strains DER Jordan's cold tide,
1t hastens my spirit to cheer
A host OF bright angels are thronging the way,
And whispering in accents of love,
Come on, weary pilgrim, we'll bear thee away,
To heavenly mansions above.
I'm ready, I'm ready, Tn ready to go,
And waiting for Jesus to come;
l ask not to stay here, l would not, oh no,
Since he hath prepared me home;
I'm happy, Pm happy, oh glory to God
My sins he hath freely forgiven;
I'm ready, I'm ready, I've kissed the sweet rod,
And bowed to the mandate of heaven

BUFFALO HUNTING.-The Nor Wester, pub

last buffalo huat: 'sIn the Summer buffalo hunt
there we're 500 men, 900 women, $50 children,
$50 horses, 800 oxen and $50 carts The buffalo
first appeared in sight in the neighborhood of Bad
Hill, about sixty miles from the boundary line,
and in run in which 220 hunters were engaged,
1900 buffaloes were shot The camp then moved
southwards, by the Sand Hills until they came
within five miles of the Little Souris river, and at
this place killed over 1000. Here they stayed
awhile to dry their meat and manufacture pericau,
and while they were thus employed heard of $50

Motors FALLING INTO THE SUN.-On the LIST
OF September last, distinguished astronomer Mr.
Darlington, had directed his telescope to the sun,
and was engaged in observing its spots when sud
denly two intensely luminous bodies burst into
view on its surface. They moved side by side
through a space of about 1000 miles, first in
creasing in brightness then fading away, in five
minutes they had vanished. This remarkable
phenomenon was witnessed and confirmed by anoth-
er observer, MIR Hodgson, at Highgate, who, BY
happy coincidence, had also his telescope directed
to the great luminary at the same instant 1t
may be, therefore, that these two gentlemen have
actually witnessed the process of feeding the sun
by the fall Of metriotic matter.
