Principles of no Consequence.

The leader in the New York World
of W ednesday, on the National Con
vention, opens with the following re-
markable language:
"Perhaps no body of men ever as
sembled in this country on the wisdom
of whose action so much depended as
on that of the National Democratic
Convention which is about to meet.
If zoe can carry Tie election ii makes it,
lie difference on what platform or Vah
a0hdt candidates.
Here is a confession from the leading
organ of the Democratic party in the
United States, that to carry an election
the Democracy will abandon all their
principles, or advocate any principles
or doctrines the advocacy of which will
promise success. They will nominate
John c. Breckinridge if they can be
assured that he is an available candi-
date. Or they will support Charles
Sumner if they are sure that with Sum-
ner they can carry the day. What
business has an honest man in a party
which thus unblushingly confesses its
total want Of principles, honesty or COM
mon decency?-!State Journal

while Senator Grimes is quite lost in

hidden from view by trees, and had heard the
conversation which occurred.

All About Printing,

Movable types for printing were not used un
| til the 18th century.
Books were printed by the Chinese and
other Eastern nations from engraved blocks
long before the invention Of type.
The first types were of wood. The same
material IS still much used for the larger va.
rieties of letters.
Johannes Guttenburg is generally believed
to be the first to manufacture movable types
An edition of Donatus was the first book
printed from movable types.
The first letters were characters initiating
hand writing. Printing was introduced into
Paris in l470, into London four years later
Roman type first made in l405. Italic
about the year 1900
Type founding was formerly part of the
business OF printer, and was declared dis
tinct art by decree of the Star Chamber in
1887. ~ .- ..-
The largest size of type used for books is
Great Primer, the smaller sizes are English,
Plea, Small Plea, Long Primer, Borgeoise,
Minlon! Nonpariel, Agate, Pearl, Diamond
and Brilliant.
Pearl is the smallest type found in ordinary
printing offices. fa'a.} '.snN5 {sat.

letters. In England the matter is measured by
ems tn) 1000 Of which equal 1000 ems.
A good compositor will set, correct and dis
tribute about 5000 ems in day of ten hours.
Several of the N. Y and Philadelphia news
papers are printed from stereotype plates
which are prepared with great rapidity and
melted over for use again in printing the next
edition. So rapidlyis this work performed
that in some instances forms have been got
ready for the press in twenty minutes after the
last page had been given to the stereotyper.
The hand press was invented in 1850, and is
still used without any improvement in the ma
jorlty OF country newspaper Offices.
Ink rollers are made of a mixture of molas-
ses and glue, and were first invented by one
Gannal, glue manufacturer, of Paris.
The first newspaper ever printed by steam
was the London Times Of Nov. %, 1914.
Hand presses are still used in large offices
wherevery fine and perfect work is required.

OF Beau Hackett," contributed the followinl
| to the st. Louis Home Journal.
Never insure your life for the benefit of your

A widow with more money than that is dan.
gerous legacy to leave posterity.
The game of life is very like game o1

to displease anybody.

The song 'Dear Mother, I've Come Home

home to be buried at the expense of their i'm

A TOUGH PLACE.-A Confederate official,
high in authority, not unfrequently went
through the farce OF an inspection OF prison
ratons, quarters, &c. Upon such occasions he
he was usually accompanied by number Of
staff Officers-gay young sprigs, the very flow
er of the capital-whose principal duty seem
ed to be to " stir up the animals" and show
them off to such foreign diplomats and distin-
guished citizens as saw fit to accept an invita-
tion to visit the : Yanks."
One fine May morning, just after the prison
had received a large accession of captured
Ianks lowing to a recent onward move
ment this high official made his appearance,
accompanied by his usual retinue of staff Off
GERS and distinguished civilians. Among the
late arrivals at Libby was waggish Down

are or decipline. Upon the morning referred
to this officer was seated upon box near one
OF the windows apparently in very melan-
chOly mood. The judge, observing his dicOn-
late appearance, approached him, when the
following conversation ensued, which was lis
tened to by all the crowd around:
Judge-GOOd morning, sir.

Judge-Your impressions Of the Conledera-
cy do not seem to raise your spirits.
Yank-What Confederacy?

You are.

Let me kiss her for her mother

Let me kiss her for somebody,
Anybody in the world,
With her hair so sweetly auburn,
Aud so gloriously curled.
Let me kiss her for her "feller,"
And do not care a red

With his billy made Of lead. y

Or, if that don't suit the family,
Let me kiss her for myself!
