TIE ALDEN TYPE MEcIIlNE.-ThcA AL
den Type Machine Is thus spoken OF by
the Ncr York Tribune, in whose Office
one Of the machines has been In opera
tion for several months:
1t has proved beyond n peradventure
that the machine can set 1000 ems per
hour, with one operator and one '.justiti-
err" To set $50 ems, per hour IL the task
Of an ordinary type-setter Mt the CASE
After careful and patient observation,
we can see no reason why this amount
of work may not be the practical result
of the machines labor from years end
to years end. Of course 1t must have
skillful operators, and In its continuous
use 1t Is not impossible that in some mi
mute details corrections and improve
ments are yet to he made, aud as the
case Is In all new machines. But pa
tient and candid trial, IL seems to us is
all that Il necessary to put them as fast
rs they can be manufactured, into our
book and newspaper offices to do the
work in which, since the invention of
printing, there has been no advance
The almost universal belief hitherto has
been that until mechanism has been
made to think, it could not be made to
supply the place Of the human eye and
fingers, and brains In fixing the intelli'
gent juxtaposition Of types for printing
The curious and ingenious adjustment
of parts to parts, multiplied and duplica-
ted in indefinite variety, in the Alden
machine, has overcome the limit beyond
which it was thought machinery could
not go. Given an automatic type-sctter
perrect In that work, and the rest Is easy.
This the Alden machine Is.

No Religion. No Justice. No Honor.
A clergyman who has for tn irty years
been a resident Of Texas, writes to a
friend in Chicago, who has furnished
extracts to the Republican, that he must
at once remove North, after having for
five years stemmel the fury Of rebellion.
His reasons are thus given:
"Seccssion has made devils OF men
and women; and as yet there is not much
change for the better. Those who were
rebels once, are rebels still, and
glory in in 1t as much rs ever. Most Of
them think 1t Is praiseworthy, and treas
on something for which they ought to
be rewarded.
II am heartily rejoiced to leave such .
set of maddened and infuriated people.
Let them bite, and hiss; and sting, but
let me be beyond tide reach of their ven-
Om.
~ never understood until now what
Bishop Gregg meant by his public and
| published statement that ii the South
ern confcderacy did not succeed, religion
and morality would be blotted out in the
South. Whether he meant it or not, he
came nearer the truth than l ever
dreamed of. Personal morality and per.
sonal religion have been sadly eaten out
Of the heart by the cdnker of secession
There is no tore Of truth, or honor, or jus
ticc left. 1t Is fearful to see how every
avenue to the soul is pcrmeated with
the subtle moral poison distilled from
the secesh alembic."

MILD WINTERS. The Guzehe dc Nj
iii, a French journal, publishes some
facts respecting winters remarkable for
their mildncss. In ll72, 1888, l42l 1927,
the trees in January were already in leaf
and the birds had begun to build their
nests In the branches. In 1858 the gar
dens were filled with flowers on the lst.
Of February, and in Paris swimming
parties were organized. The winter Of
i783 was very rigorous throughout
France, but this remarkable fact was OBJ
served, that at the town Of Sables d'Olo-
noe (vendee,) and six leagues around,
the months Of December, 1862 and jan
uary, vl763, were exempt frsm cold,
while elsewhere the weather was very
severe, and the mouth Of the Loire fro
ecu. The occurrence was remarked by
the learned lie Condamine, who was
then at Sable d'Olonoe; he called the at
tention of men of science to the fact, but
the reasons could never be asoertained.
The mild winters Of 1857, 1922, and 1853
had no pornicious effect on the crops.

The Busy ySeason.-Spring is upof lis
with all its cheerftllness and bright beatty.
The birds chirp and sing cheerful1y. as
though they were welcoming bdck the
busy spring time, and the robins fisher in
the MORN with their sweet glad sohgs.-
The leaping frogs, awakened from their
long winter stupor, add to the pleasures of
these merry, suh-shiny days with their
whistling whistle whistle. Every body
and every thing is aroused to renewed life
on the coming of Spring. The sound of
the carpenters hammer and the grating of
his saw are heard in every direction, while
the ring of the blacksmith's hammer as
he prepares the farmers tool for Use, keeps
time to busy feet and busy hands. All are
busy, cleaning, trimming, plowing, plant
ing, setting out. rresetting, and reshifting.
The merchants are busy receiving, pilihg
up, and disposing of their neN stocks; the
tradesmeh are busy filing spring orders,
and the very loafers seem to walk with a
lighter, quicker step. Glorious, happy
days are passed iii quickened busy toll.

A Silly Question Answered.

A Silly Question AnsWered.-The
editor of the Democratic Union wants to
know whether we ''think it is actually
necessary that a man should join the Good
Templars to become intelligent and re-
spectacle ?'' Most certainly not, sir; but
then we think that the act would be equal
ly as ''respectableF as is the habit of gtz-
Zling down bad whisky. We do not sup
pose that Mr.. Dumm's character for re-
spectability would be seriously impaired
if he were to become a consistent member
of that or some other temperance -organi-
zation, and all the harm we wish him is
that he will try the experiment.
But why waste words on this subject !?
We are satisfied the question was only pro-
pounded because it afforded ain opportuni-
ty to indulge in another slhrf upon the
temperance cause and it's friends, tickle
It's enemies, and produce SMILE upon the
couhtenances of the boon companions OF
the editor. Go on, Robert, if you think
there is no end to the broad-guage upon
which you are travelling?

Fine Sugar.-An impression prevails
to sonic extent that good maple sugarcan-
not be made of the last run of sap, but
from specimen Of sugar we have seen,
which was manufactured by Messrs. Parm-
lee and Hecoek, of Miffiin township, we
are inclined to think this impression is er-
roneous. 1t is as fine an article Of granu-
lated sugar as we have ever seen and was
made of sap which was gathered OH the
10th of this month. These gentlemen have
been using some six hundred wooden pals,
instead of the old fashioned troughs, by
which means they preserve the sap per-
fectly pure and sweet, which accounts in
a great measure for their success in sugar
making. They have turned out over fif-
teen hundred pounds this season, besides a
a quantity of syrup, of the very best
quality. Our people have much to learn
iii this line Of business. and we hope they
will profit by the example of our two
friends,

re Cburch and Temperance

L. B. Church and temperance
The Rev. Mr. Downey calls our attention
to the fact that during the Lectures on
Temperance. held in Beery's Hall. short
time ago. Mr.. Thompson, one of the lee
turers. made some very uncalled for in
situations against the Z. b. Church. be-
cause that religious denomination does not
cooperate or approve of the Scored institu-
tion of Good Templars." The remarks
were personal and pointed, and very much
out of character as that Church is Supposed
TO all secret institutions. and makes no
distinction between any one of them. A
privilege it certainly has the right of ex-
ercising. without being Gnterfefed with
or sneered at by itinerant lecturers, who
have not so much the cause of temperance
at heart as they have their salafies.
Wcclip the above specimen Of fafsehdod
and unf;,irness from the last humber of the
Democratic Union; and, in the first place, I'VE
tlo not believe that the Rev. Mr.. Downey
or any person else who heard Mr.. Thomp-
sons lectures. informed the editor that
Mr.. T. indulGed in "uhcalled-for insinu-
ations,' or ''sncered" at the Z. B. Church.
He did nothing of the kind, and this state
meht we know will be supported by the
testimony of all who were present on the
Ioccason alluded to-, among whom Were
scores of members of this branch of the
Christian Church. If Mr.. Downey did so
inform him, his character for veracity will
suffer considerably with those who know
just what the lecturer did say.
It is true that Mr.. Thompson did allude
to the U. B. Church, but he did so in the
most kind and gehtleinan1y manner. He
said that the disciplihes of some churches
prohibited their members Of from coming
into the order, but he hoped they would
labor with us outside, and that the Templar
could then take them by the hand and call
thefn ha1f-brothers and sisters, at least; he
also said he hoped the day was not far dis
tant when they would so modify their
| creeds as to enable them to come into our
circle of Faith, Hope and Charity. This
| is the substance of all he did say on
the subject, in which there is nothing to
offend any lady Or gentleman who has the
success Of the temperance cause at heart,
and we are satisfied ne one took exceptions
to the sentiments uttered by the lecturer.
This fling at the temperance cause, and
ungenerous attack upon the talented and
accomplished Thompson, over the shoul-
| ders of the United Brethren Church, will
be dtfiy appreciated by the members of
that Church who are acquainted with the
source from whence it eliminated, and Mr..
Dowhey, we apprehend, will not feel
very mitch flattered at thus being made
to furnish weapons to the eahti-temperance
organ to be used against the cause of tenn
perahce and humanity in this county.
The United Brethren Church is, strictly
speaking. temperance organization,
sympathizing with any movement having
for its object the promotion of the temper
ance cause. and the organ Of the opponents
of this great moral reform will find its at
| tempts to prejudice the members of that
Church against the Good Temp1ars treated
with the indignant scorn which they de-
, serve.
