7 This is all well enough, perhaps.
We have no relish for anonymous
communications under any cir
cumstances. 1t is an improper
mode of even doing good. We
hold that, as a general rule, what
ever is worth doing at all, is worth
doing openly. Whatever is done
clandestinely, is fit subject for
suspicion. Valentines of the prop
er kind, however, may be consid-
cred an exception to this rule; but
those which propose to insult the
feelings of others, admit of no
justification, and only demonstrate
the depraved nature of those who
employ them forsuch base purposes.

sTEREoTYiSING NEwspAp2l3.

Few persons are aware Of the fact
that our principal morning journals
are not printed directly from the type
but from stercotypcs taken from The
regular forms. The whole time con-
sumcd in making the plates of the
tour pages is about twenty minutes.
1t is accomplished thus: each page is
made up in separate form on a table
in size and hight expressly adapted for
the purpose; the legs of this table are
furnished with castors, and as soon as
the form is locked the table is rolled
into the stereotype room. The form
is then removed to the moulding table;
the latter has a hollow iron bel the
cavity cfwhich is filled with steam, as
heat is one Of the requirements in IA
cilitating the operation. After the
right temperature is attained, the form
is removed again to the imposing table
and two or three sheets Of kind of
paper is laid over the face of the type,
and they are then beaten down with a
brush in the same manner that prin-
tcrs proceed in taking a brush proof.
The torm is then again carefully slid
up on the moulding table, another and
heavier sheet of paper is placed over
the first; this is covered witt, wet
blanket, the whole slipped under the
press attached to the moulding table,
and the power applied. This is done
almost instantly, when the form is
again run out, and the paper peeled
off is complete matrix of the whole
form. A preparation of French chalk
is now applied to the surface of the
paper, when it is placed into the
mould, and the hot metal poured
and the plate almost instantly
formed. 1t is now removed to the
planer, is cut, routed and justified, and
in few minutes is on its way to the
press-room. These plates are cut in
the exact form required for a cylinder
press, and are about half an inch in
thickness.-Northender.

two or three hours, would march back

On Sunday the Goth of November,
we drew the usual rations in the even
ing-a pint and half of meal. The
next day SOME prisoners escaped-a
privilege they had-and the rebels re-
fused TO issue any rations, 1t also
commenced TO rain and be cold. We
thought we would get something the
next day; but no, nothing, not even
the usual scanty meal was given us.
1t seemed as if they would starve us
all at one fell sweep. The next day,
Wednesday, we waited, almost insane,
till night, and then a small amount of
meal was given ns. Think of that, We
who lived in luxury while the war
ragged! Can you imagine how we seized
that morsel of food, fought over it
like beasts, and ate it almost raw?
In those three days many died solely
from the want of food. Did therebels
have any humanity? All this time,
too, ,thestore-houseoutsidc was crammed
with provisions. Talk of the civili-
2ation Of the nineteenth century
Many Of the men became insane
from the want Of food and from the
force Of their surroundings. That
prison cannot be pictured. As | write
the whole scene rises in my mind, but
words fail to describe it. 1t almost
made me u Universalist. Surely if
there has ever been hell on earth, it
was there. There will be fearful
reckoning at the Judgment day for the
deeds done in that prison pen.
At last the Sth of November came,
and we knew the fate of our nation
was to be decided by the ballot in the
North. Our hearts were anxious. We
knew if McClelland was elected, we
would be released. We knew if Lin
coin was reelected, we might never see
home. THE rebels wcre all in .tavor Of
NcCelSomd. They said if he would
carry the North, the South would at
once gain her independence. They
urged the prisoners to take vote on
the two candidates. Black beans were
the ballots for Lincoln, white ones for
Result-fve black to
one white, and chagrin to the rebels.

TIME F0h CUTTING Tr,.BGg.

We have often urged upon our read.
ers the Importance of cutting rail and
other timber in the summer. Expert.
ment5 Of our own, and frequent OBJ
servation, have satisfied us that soft
wood, cut when the bark peels from il
freely, and when it will rapidly season
will last at least twice as long as winter
or spring-crttimbe Thelatterseasons
slowly and becomes partially sap rot
ten the former dries thoroughly and
liardens like horn. There may not be
so much difference in the durability of
hard timber when cut in the summer
as in winter. William Cone of Michi-
gan, says:
"In June, twenty-nne years ago,
having need Of a pair of bar posts, |
had to cut tree for that purpose. |
cut white oak, about two feet through
at the butt, and split out pair. The
bark peeled of easily. | set them with
the butt end in the ground. Now, that
pair of posts have outlasted about three
sets in other parts of my farm, and
the rails split at that time are much
better than many years after. Now,

when they will split easily, will out

HENRY WARD BEEcHER, having
been asked for his opinion about novel
reading, has given it. He asserts that
protestant Christendom is not united
on any other practical question more
entirely than on the propriety of read
ing fiction" In proof Of this startling
position he instances the approval Civ
en- to the parallels of the Gospels, Mil
tons poems, the "Pilgrim's Progress"
and Pollock's "Course of Time" He
next says it is impossible to lay down
any general rule as to how much time
should be given to novel reading.
But he thinks it certain that novels
should not be made "the staple of
reading" On the contrary, he wsuld
have them bear the same proportion to
the whole amount of ones reading that
pepper does to ones food, or sugar to
ones drink. He is ready to admit,
however, pat novels are useful in i'm
planting taste for reading, and that
"Miss Austen's works, Miss Edge
worth's tales, Miss Sedgwick's novels,
Walter scott's matchless romances,
contain as good matter as is to be found
in sermons, essays, histories or poems. ="
He saysnothing about Dickens works.

A TORRENT of criticism has been
poured upon Henry Ward Beecher in
consequence of his recent advocacy OF
the claims of Washington virginia.
College over which Gen. r. E. Lee
presides. A lady who was ten years a
member of Mr.. Beecher's church, and
has been a teacher of freedmen in the
vicinity of Washington College, has
published very caustic letter upon
her former paotor's recent proceeding
She relates her experience of General
Lees yo.ing gentkmcn-brickb bats and
stones thrown into the windows of her
school room, horrible serenades Under
her window at night, occasional adj
monitions on the street to take UP hef
abode in the internal regions, polite
salutations as "damned Yankee bitten
ofa nigger teacher" and threats to
burn the school house and home of
those engaged in instructing the freed
men. These facts this lady AYERS,

People who indulge in the use of
chocolate probably have no idea OF
what a disgusting mess they are finding
so delicious. We know young ladies
who would be shocked at the idea of
Using chewing gum, which is really
no worse than chocolate. In the
preparation of this condiment, cocoa
nibs, sugar, fat, flour, sago meal, starch,
arrow root, honey and niolasses are
used ;'cf course this conglomeration
does not retain the desired chocolate
color, to obtain which venetian red,
uniber and the deadly poisonous me-
talic salts, cinnabar and red lead are
employed after this the fatty unc-
tious taste of the original chocolate is
lost, and must be obtained by mixing
in tallow and hogs lard. After ali
this is boiled and poured into moulds,

set before queen" or any ofthe young
ladies who so Glove chocolate" Some

PENDLETOS sC:IEMgEwlIAT IN IT

What the Pendletonian Greenback
scheme really is can be described by
none so well as its supporters. We
have said it was scheme for Aooding
the country with paper issues which
would speedily degenerate to worth
less rags, destroy all values, PROSTATE
credit and business and lead directly
to reputation. That this is its true
meaning and intent, we call the Chi
cago Tmes-one of Pendleton's most
energetic supporters-to prove:
"Ihe first group contains the Gin
cinnati plan lie. the Pendlcton scheme
The grand feature of this scheme is
what is called payment of the national
debt in greenbacks.' 1t contemplates
a new issue of greenbacks equal in
amount to the bonds which it is pro-
posed to redeem. Over twelve hun
dred millions of five-twenty bonds will
become redeemable before 1872. Five
hundred millions are redeemable now.
The wayto pay themj according to this
plan, is to set the printing presses in
motion. So long as the rags and
lampblack hold out we will have no
trouble in paying the bonds at matti-
rity. When all have been thus paid,
we shall have added to our paper mo-
ney the triting initiation Of about
81 ,G00,OO0,0O0, making, all told, q
circulating medium. of 2,aOO, ,OOO, 900.
Their we shall have what are called
"good times" Splendid times"

PAY YOUR SMALL DEBTS.

Pay your small debts. Yon do not
know how much good is frequently
accomplished by adopting this prin-
ciple. 1t was honest old Ben Frank
lin, we believe, who, as matter o!
experiment, followed up a small
amount which he paid to tradesman.
In very little while he ascortainei
that the money paid tile tradcsman
had passed from hand to hand until
the number of bills of nearly similar
amount settled with it reached some
fifteen or twenty. 1t may not be pos
siblc to do as Franklin did, and trace
up the history of a small amount of
money in the way of debt paying, but
it may be set down as fixed fact that
the prompt payment dfsmall debts is
the initiative step toward paying cash
for everything. Generally speaking
these small debts are due to persons
who need all the little capital they can
command. To such, they are of i'm
mense Importance and it may be said
of the person who allows these trihing
obligations to remain unpaid, while
having the means to discharge them,
that he is not, in the true sense of the
word, an honest man, unless, by ex-
press contract, time for payment Las
been fixed, and that time not arrived.
Pay your small debts, and your big
ones too. Ifyou would be happy and
comfortable, sleep soundly, eat hear
tily, and enjoy that peace of mind
which only men with good consciences
are supposed to enjoy, pay your small
debts.
