Setting Type by Electricity.

Among the many wonderful evid
of the ingenuity of mankindis is the machine
for setting and distributing type. This is
so perfected that there has been printed
book containing 24 ,993 ems of solid
matter, or 81 ,255 ems Of loaded matter,
which was both set and distributed in six
hours and thirty-nine minutes by the ma
chine. This is truly wonderful, but the
wonder does not stop here. BY means of
one Of these machines, located in the large
newspaper offices in the pricipal cities, and
connected by telegraph with the capitol,
the reporter or operator can set type him
self, the machine standing in New York
or New Orleans, and he being in the capi.
tol. Or instead of setting type he may
produce a matrix-by operating a series
of arms and levers having type attached
and made to strike upon a suitably prepar-
cd and movable plastic surface from
which stereotype may be cast ready fol
the press in a few minutes from the time
the speech is delivered, or the action had
whatever it may be. Speeches would still
have to be reported by short hand, simply
because no one could either write them OF
set them up as fast as delivered. The
composer having the shorthand notes be
fore him, could then set the type from
them upon the machine at a distance. or
if required, the short hand notes could b,
translated as is now done, for the tele
graph operator, and then set up telegraph
ed. In the latter case the same labor o
the operator that now sends the messag
would put it into type ready for the press
thus dispensing with the time and labo
now required TO write out the message an
set up the type.
This seems to be the next great step i
the electrical progress of the age an
there is nothing TO prevent is being don
at once.

MY Wi(e's Piano.

carried it into the parlor, and grunted aw-

one of his fingers, and then heard de-

of a fiddle. Down came another fLger,
and was reminded of the wind whistling
through knoi-hole in a hec coop. He
touched his thumb, and thought was in

came down both fists, and oh Lord. such
noise was never heard before. 1 thought
a hurricane had struck the house and the
walls were caving in. l imagined I was
in the cellar and ton of coal falling about

bursted, when the Internal noise stopped,

| would give them time to acquire little
property, and get little education, time
to learn something about the simplest
forms of business, and prepare themselves
for the exercise of political power at
the end of ten, fifteen or twenty years let
them come into the enjoyment Of their po-
litcal rights. BY that time these south
ern States will have been so completely fill
ed up by emigration from the north and
from Europe, that the negroes will be in a
permanent minority. Why? Because
the negroes have no emf nothng
but the natural Unreasonable we have
emigration from all the world, and natur-
al increase besides. Thus, by postponing
the tlirg only until such time as the ne
groes are qualified to enjoy political rights,
the dangers l have been considering
would have fully passed away. Their in
huence would no longer be dangerous in
the manner | have indicated, and con
h.ct ofraces would rot be more likely to
happen there than it now is in Massachu-
setts. In Massachusetts, the negroes have
exercised political rights for twenty five
gears, and yet there has been no disturb
ance there-no conflict Of races. Why
Because the negroes are in the minority
They can not eject man of their own col
or to any Office, to bring up that prejudice
of race | believe what | have stated vii
be the way in which the question viii
work itself out But, under the policy
OF MIR. Sumner, we are to exclude twenty
out of every twenty-one white men in the
southern states, and bring forward coloret
voters to fill the places of those excluded
The inevitable results of that policy would
be to establish colored state governments
and colored balance of power in thi
republic, thing which l tn ink most de
sirable to avoid.

An EiOUucHt Passage.

The finest thing that George ID. Prem
ticc ever wrote is this ininitablc passage:
1t cannot be that earth is mans only
abiding place. 1T cannot be that our life
is a bubble cast up by the ocean of eterni-
ty to float moment upon its waves and
sink into nothingness. Else why is it
the high and glorious aspirations. which
leap like angels from the Stemplc of our
hearts and are forever wandering unsatis-
fed. Why is it that the rainbow and the
cloud come over us with beauty that is
not of earth and then pass off and leave US
to muse on their lovcliness? Why is it
that the stars which "hold their festival
around the midnight throne" and set
above the grasp of our limited faculties
forever mocking US with their unapproach-
able glory? And finally why is it tha,
bright forms of human beauty are present
ed to view and taken from us, leaving the
thousand streams of our affection to flow
back in an Alpine torrent upon our hearts!
We are horn for a higher destiny than
that of earth. There is a realm where
the rainbow never fades. where the stars
will be spread out before us like the
islands that slumber in the ocean, and
where the beautiful beings which passed
before us like shadows, will stay forever
in our presence.

IF candidate for president Of the
United States is of notoriously ntem-
perate habits, is it wrong or in any wise
improper for newspaper Of the opposite
party to state that fact? If prominent
newspapers of the party cf which he is a

point. ought not the people to be informed
concerning such testimony?

he asplres, does not due regard for the
public welfare demand that the fact should
be published !?
Why did the Jacobins nominate man

repulsive to honest men, and from which
they turn with loathing? Considering
that he is candidate for the presidency

"A prominent member Of the republi-
can party, and an officer in the internal
revenue, is serving out term in the New
York penitentiary, where he was consign-
ed for stealing. The senate refuses 10
qualify his successor, so his salary goes
on and it costs him nothing to live. That
chap will have pretentions for the United
States senate when he gets out.

The reason why the British journals
are almost unanimous in predicting and
desiring the defeat of the democratic nom-
nees for president and vice president. can
be found in the fact that sl69, ,0G0 in gold
left New York a few days ago to pay in
terest on the bonds of the United States
held by British aristocrats. In the event
of the election of Grant, this state of af-
fairs will be continued; but if the tax
payers, or, in other words, the people,
decide in favor of Seymour, the allies of
the radicals IN Europe will be compelled
to take the same kind of money the labor
er receives as remuneration for the sweat
Of his brow.

The principal newspaper support of
