A MOE IN NAPLES. "A Protestant
church in Naples, Italy, was mobbed
last month. The Italia, a newspaper
of that city, describes the scene:
A mob of filthy women, ragged
urchins and street pOrters gathered to
gether towards twelve o'clock, and
started on their errand with desperate
wells and Kisses. The rioters were
urged on by the priests, who saw a
good opportunity of repeating the
scene at Barletta. There was no med
ding with these intoxicated fanatics,
the dregs of the populace, who mme-
diately set 20 work by attacking the
houses of converts to Professionalism,
breaking open doors, plundering and
destroying whatever came under their
hands, heating and maltreating the
owners. Thence TO the meeting house,
where the doors were knocked in and
windows smashed by showers of stones.
Fortunately the place was empty, and
ina short time matters were brought
to an end by the appearance-Of the
authorities, who little managed to quell
the tumult. dispensing those savage
beasts TO their several dens.

DEVIL FIsH.-rwo deyil-fish, the sea
monsters described by Victor Hugo in
his ''Toilers OF the Sea" have been
taken and carried to San Francisco by
some Italian fishermen. The head is
about the size of surgeons, is joined
to a sort of sack, from which hang
eight long pendants or arms, whichever
they may be, covered with suckers or
valves, resembling in shape and size
the human ear, aud, like the main
body, of white gelatinous appearance.
Take a large sturgeon aud cut his body
into strips, from the gills TO the tail,
spread them out with the head III the
centre, aud you have some idea of the
appearance of the devil fish. They are
found all along the North Pacific coast,
but are seldom captured, owing to the
danger attending that operation. The
two IN San Francisco measure SIX feet
from the end of their nose to the tip OF
their arms.

gives the following particulars of the bat.
tie near Matamoras
The battle opened at 6 A. NJ, on the
9th Nov, by Cortina and Escobedo,
simultaneously. For Mexcans the fight
ing was desperate lasting about three
hours. Cortina was badly whipped in
about thirty minutes and repulsed at ev-
cry point. On the east side ofatbe city
the fighting was more prolonged and des-
perate.
The forces of Escobedo charged in gal
liant style up to within thirty yards Of
forts San Fernando and Monterey only
to be moved down by the terrible fire of
Canales' men. Canales' nesk was to stake

ter three hours hard fighting was forced
to fall back, utterly defeated.
Escobedo's force, with Cortina's num-
bered sbcut 5000 men, Canal, $ not to
exceed 800 The loss Of the former was
about 6O0 killed, wounded and missing,

THE PRINTER AND HIS
TYPE

The following beautiful extract is from
the pen of Bcjamin f. Taylor, the prin-
ter poets
Perhaps there is no department of en-
terprise Whose details are less understood,
by intelligent people, than the "art pre-
servative"-the achievement Of types
Every day their life long, they are ac-
customed to read the newspaper, and find
fault with its statements, its arrangements,
its looks; to plume themselves upon the
discovery of some roguish and acrobatic
type that gets into a frolic and stands
upon its head; or of some waste letter or
two in it-but of the process by which
the newspaper is made, of myriads of mo-
tions and the thousands ofpieces necessa.
ry to its composition, they know little and
think less They imagine they discourse
of a wonder, indeed, when they speak
Of the fair white carpet, woven for
thought to walk on, of the rags that fut.
tered on the back of the beggar yester-
day. But there is something more Won
derful still. When we look at the hun
dred and fifty-two little boxes, somewhat
shaded by the touch of inky fingers, that
compose the the printers "case," noise
less, except the clicking of the types, as
one by one they take their place 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 eloquence the printer can make here
and there, ifhe had only little chart to
work by, how many facts in a small
"handfull," how much truth in chaos.
Now he picks up the scattered elements
until he ho.ds in his hands a stauza of
"Gray's Elegy," or monody upon

the next. A poor jest tricks its way
slowly into the printers hand, like a clock
just running down, and strain of elo-
quence marches into the line letter by
letter. We fancy we can tell the differ.
ence by hearing by the a but perhaps
not. The types that told Wedding yes.

perhaps the same letters. They are the
elements to make a world of-those types
are world with something in it as beau
tltul as spring, as rich as summer, and as
grand as autumn flowers that frost can
not wilt-fruit that shall ripen for all
time. The u; wspaper has become the
log book Of the age. 1t tells at what
rate the world is running; we cannot find
our "reckoning" without it. True the
green grocer may bundle up pound Of
candles in our last expressed thoughts,
but it is only coming to base use, some
thing that is done times innumerable
We console ourselves by thinking that
one can make of that newspaper what he
cannot make of the wing oaks--a bridge
for time, that he can fling over the chasm
of the dead years and walk safely back
upon the shadowy sea into the far past
The singer shall rot emu his song, nor the
soul be eloquent no more. The realm Of
the press is enchanted ground. Some
times the editor has the happiness of
knowing that he has defended the right,
exposed the wrong, protected the weak;
that he has cheered somebody's solitary
hour, made somebody happier, kiudled
smile upon a sad face, or hope in a
heavy heart. He may meet with that
sentiment many years aiter; it may have
lost all charms of its paternity, but he
feels affection for it. He welcomes it as
long lost child. He reads it Us for the
first time, and worders ifindeod he wrote
it, for he has changed since then. Per
haps he could not give utteIance to the
sentiment ow-perhaps he would not il
he could. 1t seems like the voice of his
former self calling to his parents, ,and there
is some,hing mournful in his tone. He
begins to think-to remember why ht
wrote it, who were his readers then, and
whethe! they have gone - what he
was then, and how much be has changed
So he muses., until be finds himself won
dering it that thought Of his will contin
ue to float after he is dead, and whether
he is looking upon something that vii
survive him. And then comes the swee
consciouness that thers is nothing in tho
sentence that he could wish unwritten--
that is better part Of him-a shred from
a garment of Immortality he shall leav
behind him when he joins the "innumer
able caravan" and takes his place in tn
silent halls of death.

TnE IRON WoRKs OF CHIoAGo.-.Tto
Chicago Republican devotes three col
umns to the history Of the iron business
in that city. We condense, from this
account, some interesting facts. There
are no means in Chicago for the reduction
of iron ores The metal comes to the
city in the form of pigs bars. The prin-
cipal source of supply is at Marquette, ola
Lake Superior. The celebrated Iron
Mountain at this place was discovered in
1917; but was not worked, with any de-
gree of thoroughness, till the opening of
The St Mary's Falls Ship Canal in 1865
The iron found here is said to be the
best in the world, and the supply is ap-
parently inexhaustiblc. Iron is also
found in Hardin county, Illinois. The
receipts and shipments at Chicago, as
given, by the Republican, are simply
stupendous The lake receipts alone
last year to II 500 tons of pig iron, 2,l53
tons of railroad iroa, 80, ,742 bars, besides
vast quantities of scraps aud manufactur-
ed iron in different forms. Chicago has
two rolling mills, one on the north branch
Of the Chicago river, the other on the
south.
The mills have a yearly business of
S2,500,000. They are almost exclusively
engaged in rerolling railroad iron. The
Chicago Rolling Mill has capital of
S6l5,000, employs at present 300 men,
and consume about 5000 tons of pig iron
annually. The Union Rolling Mill has
working capital of 100000, employs
about $50 men, and works about 500 tons
Of railroad iron per week. The Repub-
ican gives the statistics of thirty iron
manufacturers, doinga yearly business
of from $4,000 to 500, 0,000.--[Oregon.

TRADE WITH CHINA AND JAPAN
The San Francisco Times of the 9th ult,
thus speaks of the interest manifested in
California on the sailing Of the first
steamship for China:
The sailing of the Colorado for China
on the 1st Proximo is justly regarded as
an event Of singular interest in CONNER
cial circles, since it may be said to inau-
gurate a commerce that shall make San
Francisco the second port of the Union
at no distant day. Hence there is pecu-
liar appropriateness in the preparations
making to signalize it by public gath
ering. Prominent representatives. Of the
city's business are arranging for grand
dinner, to which about $50 guests will
be invited, representing all departments
of the National, State aud Municipal
Governments, the New York and San
Francisco Chambers of Commerce, the
press, the steamship, railroad, and tele-
graph companies, aud the Chinese mer-
chants. There will be present also sew
eral prominent gentlemen from the East,
who have arrived here on their way to
Kanagawa aud Hong Kong The occs-
sion will be one of remarkable interest.
The dinner will be given next Monday
evening, at the Occidental Hotl.
