ORIGIN OF THE "PRtNrERs DEVIL. when
Aldus Manutius set up business as a printer
at Venice, he became IN possession of 6 lit
tie negro boy. The boy was known over the
city as ''the little black devil" who assisted
the mysterious bibliotactor; and some of the
most ignorant believed him to be none other
than the embodiment of Satan, who helped
Aldus in the prosecution of his profession
One day, Manutius, desiring to dispel this
strange hallucination publicly, displayed the
young imp to the poorer classes. Upon
this occasion he made this short bu. charac-
tcristic speech: "Be it known to Venice,
that |, Aldius Manutius, printer of the Holy
Church and Doge, have this day made pub
lie exposure of the printers devil All those
who think he is not flesh and blood may come
and pinch him. American Artisan.

Sleep with the whole Family.

Receihly, an athletic young farmer in the
town of Waynesburg, took a fair girl, "all
hathcd in bushes" from her parents, and
started out for the first town across the
Pennsylvania line, to be married, where the
ceremony could be performed without Ii
cense. The happy pair We're accompanied
by sister OF the girl, tall, gaunt, sharp
featured female Of some thirty-seyen sum-
mers, The pair crossed the line, were mar
ried, and returned to Wellesville to pass the
night. The people at the hotel where the
wedding party stopped, observed that they
conducted themselves in rather singular
manner, The husband would take his sister
ia-law, the tall female aforesaid, into one
corner of the parior and talk earnestly to
her, gesticulating wildly all the time. Then
the tall female would "put her foot down."
and talk TO him in an excited manner. Then
the husband would take his fair young bride
into corner but he would no sooner COM
meDce talking to her than the gaunt sister
would rush in between them and angrily
Join the conversation. The people at the
hotel ascertained what this meant about
nine o'clock that evening. There was an
uproar in the room which had been assigned
to the newly married couple. Female shreks
and masculine "swears" startled the people
in the hotel, and they rushed to the spot.
The gaunt female was pressing against the
door of the room, and the newly married,
most undressed, was barring her out with all
his might. Occasionally she would kick the
door far enough open to disclose the stall
Wart husband, in his gentleman Greek slave
apparel. It appears that the tall female in
sisted upon occupying the same bed with
the newly married pairs that her sister was
favorabIy disposed to the arrangement and
that the husband had agreed to it before the
wedding took place, and now indignantly
repudiated the contract.
Wont you go away now, Susan?" said
the newiy married man, softening his voice.
NO." SAID she, g WONT; SO there p
"Don't you bulge an inch" cried the
married sister, inside.
"Now-now, Maria" said the young man
to, his wife, in piteous 4tone, " don't go to
cuttin' up IN this way; now don't"
"Ill cut up as much as | wanter I" she
sharply replied.
WE'LL" roared the desperate man, throw
ing the door wide open and stalking out
among the crowd, "jest you two wimmin
put on your duds and go right straight home,
and bring back the old man and woman'
and your grandfather, who is nigh on to a
hundred bring EN- all here, and I'll marry
the whole caboodle of 'en, and we'll all
sleep together"

! Where is the Father .

If the parents of Amanda Fletcher are in
Idaho, they will obtain some information
from the following letter:
Fort LARNED, Kansas, March 8, 1866.
To his Ercelency. alexander Cummings, Gorer-
nor Colorado Territory:
SIR L have the honor to state that have
just procured from the Dog Soldiers of the
Cheyenne tribe of Indians, wkite girl, if-
teen years of age named Amanda Fletcher,
who was captured on the lst of last August.
I. From my conversation with her, and my
knowledge of the country in which she was
taken, Judge that the locality must have
been at or near Medicine Bow Creek, not far
from Fort Halleck.
She states that her father and two brothers
escaped and that her mother fell, whether
killed or wounded she does not know. Her
father, in all probability, is in Denver, Salt
Lake City, or Idaho Territory.
At the time OF the occurrence, Captain
Wilson, First Colorado Cavalry, was in com :
mand of Fort Collins, and may be able to
give you some information in the premises
The girl is anxious to know if her mother. is
living, and where her father IS. AS soon as
can learn the whereabouts of her father
will send her to him. Knowing that you
will feel interested in matter of this kind
have taken the liberty Of addressing you.
The young lady was from Minersville, Henry
county, Illinois, and the family was en- route
for Idaho at the time of the attack. / think
if inquiries should be made through the
press of Colorado Utah and Idaho, her
father can be found
My address is Fort Larned, Kansas, and
would respectfully request that you acknowl-
edge the receipt of this communication, and
let me know what is the result of the inqui-
ries you make, for the purpose of endeayor-
ing to find the parents of this unfortunate
female. E. w. WYNKOOP,

HIGH PRICE OF PAPER.--W Within the past
few weeks, says the San Francisco Examiner,
news paper has gone up in price a-kiting in
this city, owing to scarcity of the article in
the market One German paper, we learn,
thinks of decreasing its size, fearful that it
may be compelled to suspend publication en-
tirely if it does not. One newspaper publish
er informs US that be pays So per ream for
paper now that cost him only 81 short time
ago. Several cargoes Of paper are on the
way here round the Horn; but they may not
reach port for loug time, or they may be
wrecked. If any accident should happen,
nearly all the newspapers in the city and
State will be compelled to suspend publica-
tion.

OREGON HERALD.-This is the name of a
milk and water Copperhead daily paper just
started at Portland. 1t will probably live
jdsts about as long as such papers generally
do where sterling Union paper like the Or
egonian is printed.-[Journal.
Yes, the Herald opposes negro equality
and of course, it is a poor concern in the
estimation of the-little abolition whippers-in
of the negro party. There is more intelli-
gence and genuine journalistic ability dis
played in one issue of the Herald than can
be found in whole volume of the sycophan-
tic Oregonian. But you don't see it; neither
can donkey, cause his head amt shaped

A NARROW MIND.-A friend in Ohio writes
us that Rev Mr.. Boyd, who processes to be
a Presbyterian minister, refused to baptise a
child because the parents gave him the name
of G. L. Vallandigham. This Mr.. Boyd is
seeking place to preach his political gospel.
We hope our friends in Ohio, will not, in or.
der to get rid of him, recommend him to the
"Freedmen's Bureau" Under the religious
instructions of such men as Mr.. Boyd and
Mr.. Martindale, the negroes would soon be-
come so demoralized as to be beyond all hope
of salvation.-[Free Commonwealth, Louis

EARLY RIsEG.-One of our cotemporaries
disposes of the virtues of early rising as fol-
lows: eve have watched these fellows who
aie the early risers, and, as general thing,
they are the first chaps to go to the grogger-
les in the morning. tits all moonshine about
the smartest and greatest men being the ear
liest risers. 1t might have been so in old
times, but nowadays, when you see a chap
moving about very early, you may be very
certain that he is after drink"

PATRIOTISM IN THE SCHooLs.-We find the
following questions in John Sweets Report,
among others on the history of the United
States, given to teachers at the late examina-
ton by the State Board:
What was the alleged reason for the secession
of the Southern States? The true reason?
When and hOto was the great rebellion inaugu-
rated? When and how was it ended?
When was the Emancipation Proclamation
issued, ON what grounds, what did it provide, and
what was its effect on the Nation!
How many men were put into the field, how
were they raised, and what is the estimated loss,
including the killed in battle, those who died in
hospitals, and those starved to death in rebel
prisons? .
Draw contrast between the character of Abra-
ham Lincoln and that of Jefferson Davis4
II would be decidedly interesting to see
the answers to those questions. We will
venture that not one teacher who answered
them correctly got certificate. They were
given only for the purpose of finding out the
degree of hatred the applicant entertained
toward the Southern people, and if he was
anything of an adept in the art of falsifying
history.

DEPTH OF QUIET PEOPLE. Some men dawn
upon you like the Alps. They impress you
vaguely at first, just as do the hundreds ia
ces you meet in yonr daily walks. They
come acrossyou horizon like floating clouds,
and you have to watch awhile before you see
they are mountains. Some men remind you
of quiet lakes, places such as you have often
mapped upon, where the green turf and the
field flower hang over you and are reflected
out of the water all day long. Some day or
other you carelessly drop line into the clear
depths, close to the daises and daffodils, and
it goes down, down, down. You lean over,
the sound is deeper, but your line doesn't
bring up. What deep spot that is you
think, and you try another. The reflected
daisies seem TO smile at you out of the water,
the turf looks as green as ever, but there is
no shallow spot beneath. You never thought
1t, but your quiet lake is all around unfath-
omable. You are none the less impressed
with the fact that it is quiet lake.
