Preston EAsElg.

Tive weeks have passed since the sup
posed suicide Of Preston King, and the
sad affair seems to have nearly faded from
the minds OF men Could The vail be
lifted and an insight given of the hearts Of
many, it is 20 be feared that to hundreds
who hoped to profit by his death, the
event has been a source Of secret rejoicing
The belief, however, among those who
think at all on the subject, is gaining
ground that Mr.. King has no: committed
suicide, but has wandered Of into some
retreat Of which this citys full where he
will yet De found. And while the mere
fact Of the body not yet having been dis
covered affords no evidence that no suicide
was committed. yet instances are By no
means uncommon Of persons supposed to
have been made away with, voluntarily or
otherwise. rcappearing in full life and
health 1t must be confessed also that
various reasons seem to give color to the
anti-suicidc theory. The police are still
quietly continuing their Investigations
upon this latter supposition, and may vet

clement Of this deep mystery-N, l.

How TO Il. AGREEABLEIy A PRINTING
OFFlcE.- Reader if you want to make your
self very agreeable in printing Office,
step into the sanctum first. If the editor
is writing or proof reading, take L scat
along side of him, and tell him how you
started in business: about your dog, your
horse, your wife and baby, or all you can
remember about your school bog sports =
Should the editor manifest disposition 10
be inattcntiye to your story stick to it. and
go through with it. Should one Of the
compostors, or the devil" step Up and
ask for copy, or il either Is done. you should
by all means ask what the article Is about
aud Insist upon seeing it. OF course the
editor will read 1t to You, and profit by
your opinion as to its isness to 60 into tie
columns OF the paper.
After thus entertaining the editor, step
into the comp osing room and ask each OF
the hands As many questions as to the
eases. letter, DC, as may be agreeable to
yourself Then begin to whistle. All
printers are fond.of whis:liug Give them
at least three or four jigs. Then ask the
foreman whether lie hasn't quarter or
So to treat? If you don't do that he will
feel sighted if he is true man. Before
leaving the Office you should take hold Of
the hand press-giyc it a pull and let it
fly back, just to see how it works. If pos
sible give the power press turn and don't
forget to examine everything in the shape
OF matter on the stone, even if you should
knock some Of it into pi-that will only
put The patience of the printer to a fair
test. When you lea'e the office, be sure
to promise another visit by tomorrow OF
next day, and our word for it you will be
remembered BY the printer for long
time.

4 Personal Collision AT RICuMoND
INDIANA.-Y eSterday afternoon, about
Eve o'clock. while Hon. Geo. w Julian
was waiting in the lady's room of the de-
pot at Richmond, Ind, he was approached
by Sol. Meredith, Esq., who, after speak
inga few words, struck him (Julian) and
partially Knocked him down. Meredith
then drew Il cowhidc from under his coat
and proceeded to apply it to Mr.. Julian,
continuing until by-standers intertered.- =
The immediate cause Of the difficulty we
have not learned. The remote cause is,
We suppose, political jealousy. Mr. Mer-
edith was lately candidate in the district
for nomination to Congress, but was de-
feated By Mr. Julian. which, we suppose,
was in accordance with the wishes Of the
people, and it is not probable tat the
knock down argument which Mr.. Meredith
has tried will be effective in changing the
views of the majority who exercise the
elective franchise in that locality Cn

his sleeve took fire near the wrist, and as
it commenced t. blaze he ran toward the
little girl who tried to escape from him, but
owing to her excessive fright she was una.

with his burning clothes. The mother soon
returned to find them both envelopcd in
flames. The poor little boys clothes were
all burnt off except patch on one shoul-

of the Northern press, coupled in the les:
respectable journals with a sneer at Gen

to us the snecr would more ftly be direct
