STEREOTYPING NEwsPAPERs.-FeW pers

pal morning journals are not printed di.
rectly from the type, but from stereotypes
taken from the regular forms. The whole
time consumed in making the forms is about
twenty minutes. 1t is accomplished thus;
Each page is made up in seperate form
on table in size and height expressly
adapted for the purpose; the legs of this
table are furnished with castors and as
soon as the forms are locked, the table is
rolled into the stereotype room. The form
is then removed to tho moulding table
the latter has hollow iron bed, the eavi.
ty of which is filled with steam, as heat is
one of the requirements in facilitating tho
operation. After the right temerature is
attained the form is removed again to the
imposing table, and two or three sheets of
ID peculiar kind of paper are laid over tho
surface of the type, and they are then bear
ten down with IL proof brush.
The form is then again slid upon the
moulding table, another and heavier sheet
of paper placed over the first, this is cov-
cred with blanket, and then slipped un-
der the press attached, the moulding ta-
BILE, and the power applied This is done
almost instantly, when the form is again
run out, and the paper peeled off is q COM
plcte matrix of the whole form.
A preparation of French chalk is now
applied to the surface of the paper, when
it is placed in the mould the hot metal
poured against it, and the plate is almost
instantly formed. 1t is now moved to ths
planer, is cut, routed and justified, and in
a few moments is on its way to the press
room. These plates are cast in the exact
form required for cylinder press, and
about half an inch in thickness.

MIDN1GnT There is something as beaq-
tiful as sublime in the hush of midnight,
The myriad quiet sleepers laying down
each their life burden, insensible alike to
JOY or sorrow; helpless alike-the strong
man as the infant; and over all the sleep-
less Eye, which since the world began has
never lost sight of one pillowod head.
Thoughts like these come to us in our
wakeful night hours with an almost pains
full intensity. Then eternity only seems
real, and everyday life fable. But
morning comes, and the stir aud hum Of
life chase these thoughts away, as the sun
dries up the dew-drops, which, like our
thoughts, performed their reyiyipg mis-.
sion ere they departed.

In the well-kept gardens of the Sha-
kers at Now Lebanon, N. Y, the luxurant
foliage and fine bloom Of their large beds
of roses attract attention every summer.
The brother in charge of the roses says
that his success in producing the foliage
and flowers is attributed to the free use of
salt as a top-dressing for the soil of the
beds. TIE salt kills rose insects of every
kind, and also improves the health and
vigor of the plants,

HoRRoRs OF GAMING.-Every morning
at sunrise there is a squad of men seen
searching the forests that adjoin the famous
gambling resorts at Baden. They are ap-
pointed by the Government to hunt out
the bodies of suicides Scarcely morn
ing passes that several are not found. A
short time since, at Wicshadea, a young
English noblcman lost his all at the table.
He blew out his brains then and there
with a revolver. His body was carried
away; the gamblers wiped off the blood
from the table with their handkerchiefs,
and remarked, "Gcntlomen, we will not
delay the game" The game went on as
usual The ladies did not faint-they
were too absorbed in the clink of the gold.

Mr.. Editorials is oflen my custom
when passing through the country, |
pen you the following account Of an
interview which witnessed on Tues
day, the Gath ult., as / passed through
your beautiful East Tennessee. AT
Greeneville thore was a large manly
looking parsonage got on the train
going East and TOOK big seat id the
car. Several intelligent looking gen
tlemen were on board, and Gmongst
them was Col. John Williams of
Knox, who pretty soon rose up and
approached this new man, for. he was
both new and strange TO mo, But by
this time / was pleased with his gen-
tlemanly bearing and pleasant famil-
lar looking eountenancG The Colonel
called him Judge, and l really thought
that he. became the :" cognome1."
But Z afterwards learned that he was
only a candidate for Judge. But l am
deeply impressed with the belief from
his appearance and frank -mahier Of
exprcssion that he will or ought In
deed TO be Judge Of some digni6ed
court. For God, is no liar, neither is
ia dishonest, and when he turns OF a
iob and buts his brand upon it, Il 10
generally correct, and if mans face
z q true index 10 bis heart, this gen
tleman has an honest heart IL l am
any Judge of human nature. The
Colonel after a friendly salutation

rebel managers feel that Johhson's
doom Is already sealed, and his de-
position certain. The nation will
breath more freely whom the monster

The vote on the veto to-day is re-
garded as indicating the detormina-
ton Of the Radicals of the Senate to

scheme deemed necessary to their
power, including impeachment.
Hope once entertained that there
were Senators who would rise above
allegiance to party, are fast disappear
ing. Overwhelming pressure has been
brought to bear upon Senators sus
pected of having any conscience. A
Senator who, three weeks since, vio-
Iently opposed the measure, is now
in the Radical lead.

Oh wonderful stream Is the river time, r +
As Il runA through the realms otysArs, .i... a.,
With fAnltlSss rythm and musical rhyme
Aud brOad'nlng swssp, and surge sublime,
That blends with tho ocean Of tears.
How the wlntsrs are drining the aAkou Of snow,
Aud the AummeIs like buds between,
And the year In the shsaf-sO they aud they 60
On the rivers breast, with It's sbb and Cow,
Az Il glldos through the shadow aud sheen. e
There's magical Isle In the river Of time,
Where the SOitsst Of asFs are playing, r-ra.
There's a eloudleSa sky and tropical cline,
And a song 90 lvset az tho vesper chime,
Aud The Junsa wlih the roses are staying.
And the nAmO Of this isio is the Long ago.
And We bury our treasures there;
There are broWs Of beauty and bssOmS Of snow
There are heaps 9i duet, but We loved them SO
There are trinkets and Irsssus Of hair.
Thsreare fragments Of song that nobody sings,
And part Of an infants prayer,
There's lutte unsWOPt, and harp without strings,
There are broken vowS, and pieces Of rings,
And the garments she used TO wear.
There are handU that are waved when the fry fh0f,
By the mirage q lIfted In air;
And We sometimes hear through the turbulsnt roar,
Sweet voices wa hear In The days gone before,
When the wind down the river Is fair.

All the dAys Of tiEs tIlfnisht-
when the evening comes with itn beautiful smile,
And our ewes are closing to slumbeT awhile
May that "Island" Of soul be In sight
