~ Tho Alden printing machine has
been tried in the office Of the New York
Tribune, and that paper few days ago
expressed highly satisfactory opinion Of
its capabilities. Taking the statement
there made rs trustworthy verdict on
trial, We are led to believe that the prob
lem has been solved, and that the machine
will become at once d necessity in every
printing Office in the world.
The New York Journal of Commerce de-
elares that they have examined the ma
chine while at work, and the result Of their
observations confirms the views expressed
by the Tribune, and in speaking of the
machine, it says man touching the keys
of the instrument, as rapidly as practice
can enable him to do, sets in motion the
type, which rush to their places in line,
and the machine also distributes, without
a guide, all the type to their appropriate
places. The company who own the patent
have been experimenting for a long time.
They regard the experimenting as ended,
and are now about to manufacture ma
chimes to order.

PREACHING vs.. PRAoT1oE.-The Tribune
is, in theory, a first-class Protective paper
but in practice. it buys where it can buy
cheapest, and hence the home paper deal
ers are much amused to-day to see, un-
loading in front of the Tribune Office, a
large lot of foreign made paper. All the
labor put upon it was done in Europe, and
all the profit will go to Europe. Half a
dozen editorials next week, in favor of
home manufactures, we suppose, will be a
fair Offset for this specimen of practieinQ
ono thing and teaching another.-N. 7.

THE WAY THE REVENUE IS Raised
First, they ascertain your business. That
is taxed. Then they find out how much
you earn every month, and that's taxed
Then they find out all about your profits,
and on that they lay their tax. Then
they manage to get some tax on what you
owe. Next comes what they call income,
and that's taxed. Then if anything is
left, the preacher calls around and gets it
to sustain the church and convert the
heather.

MONUMENT To THE CONFEDERATE DEAD.
The good work in raising funds for this

fully suggest that lists be made out and
placed in proper and energetic hands, to

until the good work is completed. There
are none so poor, but will contribute their
mite.-Ea8t T6JicaanG Democrat, 28M ut.

INTERESTING CEREMONIES AT CLINTON
Thursday, the Goth ulto., was set apart
by our neighbors Of Clinton and vicinity
as day commemorative of those gal
liant men Of the late Confederate army
who fell at Port Hudson while in the active
discharge of their duties "a soldiers and
those who otherwise died from the effects
of disease or wounds in the hospitals or
elsewhere. Many of these are inferred in
the cemetery al Clinton, and their graves
were visited by mothers, sisters, wives,
fathers, brothers and other friends and
decked with the choicest flowers offspring
Connected with the touching and impo-
sing solemnities, was the ceremony of in
terring, with Masonic honors, the remains
of the late DIR. Lee FL. Farrar who was
killed at Burlington, in this parish. DIR.
Farrar, says the Clinton Patriot, was a
true Confederate soldier, who lost his life
in trying to beat back raiding party from
Baton Rouge, under Col. Fonda Of the
Federal army, on the 18th of April, 1854
BY all who knew him, he was highly es-
teemed as high-toned gentleman, and
warmly devoted to cause which he
thought wasjust. He served for sometime
in the ranks and was afterwards called to
the position of Assistant Surgeon by Brig.
General Writ Adams, in which capacity
he was acting at the time Of his death.
