Perhaps there is no department Of enter
prise whose details are less understood by
Intelligent people than the "art preserve
tive"-the achievement Of types.
Every day, Their life long, they are accus-
toned to read the newspaper, to and fault
with it's statements, it arrangement, its
looks; to plume themselves upon the dis
covery Of some roguish and acrobatic type
that gets into o frolic, and stands upon ia
head or Of some waste letter or two In il
hut of the process by which the newspaper
is made, of the myrads Of motions and
thousands of pieces necessary to iss compo-
sition, they know little and think hess.
They imagine they discourse of wonder,
indeed when they speak Of the iair white
carpet, woven for thought to walk on-oi
the rags that iuttered npon the back Of the
beggar yesterday. .sfla

still. When we look at the hundred and

ing Of the types, as one by one they take
their places in the growing line--we think
we have found the marvel Of the art.
We think how many fancies in fragments
there are in the boxes, how many atoms Of
poetry and excellence the printer can make
here and there, if he only had little chart
to woFk--how many facts in small "hand-
fuls--how much truth iR chaos. T lH fi

THE EURoPEAS. .CoNvESnoE POSTPONED
The new Labor movement, which announced
a general conference Of all trades at Gene
va. is postponed to Monday, September Sd.
The reason assigned is, that it will require
a longer time to prepare for the reception
of such large number Of delegates. Aside
from this, the friends Of the movement in
Italy desire delay for the purpose of Or
ganizing, with the view of securing a more
complete representation. France will send
a large delegation and if those from other
nations prove equally numerous, the Con-
vention will present combination of intel
ligence that will equal the best deliberstive
bodies in the world.

In pursuance of resolution passed at the
rorgsnisatih of the Grand Eight Hour
League of this State, making the ADVOCATE
the organ of the Association, we publish an
address, signed by majority of the com
nittee appointed to present the same to the
mechanics and workingmen Of Illinois.
While we do so, however, from a sense Of
duty, we sincerely regret that that
committee should have gone out Of
its way to introd &c issues altogether
foreign to the question, and the discussion
Of which, We have reason to fear, will be
fraught with the most injurious consequent
ces to the very principles they undertake to
advance. As we were a member Of that
committee, and disapp-c7ed of many ex-
pressions used IN that address, we intended
to present a minority report, but thinking
ouI motives for - doing might be miscon-
strued, and believing that those to whom il
is addressed have intelligence enough to sc-
cept that portion which is unobjectionable
and repudiate that which has nothing what
ever TO do with the Eight Hour movement,
we have preferred to publish the report as
furnished, and defer to the next issue q can
did statement Of the reasons rhy we can
not endorse the platform aid down by our
worthy brothers. In the meantime, we trust
our readers will give X careful perusal.

The Springfield, Massachusetts, Re
publican, of the 22d inst, in the course
of an able leader, "Keep Cool and
Mind the Helm" used this judicious
language: n unibg,l
nThis is a time for sensible and pa-,
triotic men to keep cool. Let the
storm of passion rage at Washington
till it exhausts its fury; the country is
safe 80 long as the people preserve their
self-pois and look at public affairs
with candor and bipartisan spirit, hold
ing in reserve the power to be eXercis-
ed at the proper time in support of
what is right and the correction Of
what is wrong, regardless of the selfish
strifes of men and factions. 1t is an
encouraging sign of the times, and
shows that the popular pulse still beats
regularly and firmly, that the most i'm
fluential papers in the country stand in
the attitude of impartial spectators of
the conflict at the National Capitol, dis
cussing the matters in issue fairly; and
advising the people to calmness and
patient waiting for the subsidedce of a
storm which can be but temporary If
the people let il alone" fr;

RegnThe following choice bit of high
toned composition appears in the edi-
torial column of the Cincinnati En-
duircr:
1t was not till Africa rose to the as
cendant in the United States that the
custom began of excited party or fac
tionary bodies calling upon the Presi-
dent, and demanding from him u
speech upon the current subject of agi-
tatiOn. This practice, which may be
in strict conformity with the etiquette
of African natures, is, according to Eu-
ropean ideas, a solecism. 1t origina-
ted in the time of Mr.. Lincoln, the
first African President; and we are, we
suppose, bound to recognize it as a fix
ed Africo.American institution.

that General Grant narrowly escaped q
fatal accident on Monday. While ex-
aminihg a newly invented rifle, he
took hold of it in such manner that
it was accidentally discharged, part of
the cartridge entering his left hand,
and lodging in the palm and thumb,
wOunding him, report says, seriously.
The scene Of this unfortunate accident
was in private apartment belonging
to General Grant, his aids and four
children of his family being present.
The ball lodged in the wall of the

EXCELLENT SOFT TSoAP.--Ass spring
time has come and the day of house
cleaning is at hand, I deem it not out
of place in giving the readers of your
valuable paper, my mode of making
soft soap. If any havea better recipe,
1 trust they will give it through the
columns of the Rural: Tike l6 quarts
of Iye of sufficient strength to float an
egg; 8 pounds of clean grease; Il
lbs. of resin; put the whole into five
pail kettle and boil it. At first it is
apt to rise, in which case add little
strong lye, and so continue to do until
the materials are Incorporated. Then
remove it from the fire and add, by de
grees, weak lye, stirring it at every
addition, till the kettle is full! By
trying this method you will find yol
+haVe an excellent soft soap M. +
