Origin Of the Printers Devil.

When Aldus Manutius set up in bus
mess as q printer at Venice, he came in
possession of little negro boy. This
boy was known over the city as 'the lit
tie black devil who assisted the myster
ious biblofactor, and some of the igno-
rant persons believed him to be none
other than the embodiment Of Satan,
who halped Aldus in the prosecution of
his profession. One day Manutius, de-
string to dispel this strange hallucira-
ton by publicity, displayed his imp to
the poorer classes. Upon this occasion
he made this short but characteristic
speech-sBe it known to Venice, that I,
Aldus Manutius, printer to the Holy
Church and Doge, have this day made
public exposure of the printers devil.
All those who think he is not flesh and
blood may come and pinch him.

From the 81. THomo TTdende, October 49,

The Fifteenth of October is somewhat
analogous to that other great day the
Fifth of October, when extraordinary
events were expected to take place.
But, as far as we are concerned, the day
passed off without any more unusual
event than the falling of an unusual
amount of cold water. AS regards the
ifteenth.of October it may likewise be
said Tat the subject which eliminates
Ga that date, and which was at fever heat
on the 9th of January last year, has since
then had cold water continuously thrown
on it; and it may also be said that the
day will pass off without any unusual oc-
currence to distinguish it from the other
monotonous days of the year. The cOn-
@nection between the 9th of January 1868
and 18th of October 1869 will be readily
understood when we remind our readers
that the former was the day on which the
inhabitants of this island gave an almost
unanimous vote in favour of the cession
of ST. Thomas and st. John to the United
States of America; and the latter is the
day on which expires the additional year
connected by Denmark to Mr.. Stewards
6ulIClCdAluu III Iuc ID lICdClbu vi Tx 'ICh'y
of ceSsion. The first negotiations of this
long suffering treaty, date as far back as
the 9TH of January 1865. After various
delays, of which We gave the history in
the TTdende Of 7,h July 1869; this Treaty
which Was concluded at the earnest and
pressiu" SOLICITATION of the United States.
was, on the gath Of October 1867, signed
by Count Ffjs, on The part of Denmark,
and Mr.. George H. Yeaman, on the part
of the United States, and the ratlfications
We're TO have BEEN exchanged on the Oath
of February 1868. Pending its %ratiica-
ton by the latter power, it was ratified
by the Rigsdag and signed by King of
Denmark on the 31st of June following.
On the End Of February in the same year
the Senate had been officially informed
of the conclusion of the treaty, but that
body adjourned without acting on it and
thereupon Mr.. Seward asked for a years
grace to pay the United States promlsory
note for the purchase of these islands.
That year of grace expires on the 18th
OF this month, and as the treaty was not
acted Oh in The last session of Congress,
and as that body does not assemble until

10 THE EDITOR OF 81. CRO1A avis
Dear Sir.
From the "PubIic Opinion of the 28th
August last, I beg leave to make the fol-
lowing Extracts for insertion
particular attention is directed to a
new feature in the principle of life assur-
ance, which the Royal has lately intro
duced, and which only needs publicity to
insure its general adoption. 1t is called
the "CompIete Life Policy" and combines
the two principles of, first, the restriction
of payment of premium to ascertain fixed
number of years, say from five to twenty,
thus limiting the burden of this provision
to the working years of a mans life and
secondly, the absolute guarantee of security
against forfeiture, inasmuch as provision is
made TO grant a paid up policy for a stipu-
lated amount whenever an assurer omlts,
or is unable, to make his renewal payment"
The invaluable advantage of this equi-
table scheme are that the assurer can at
once calculate the maximum amount OF
premium which can possibly become pay
able under his policy, however long he
may live; and he does not forfeit the
benefit of premiums already paid if he be-
comes unable from any cause to continue
his payments. By its opportune adoption
the Royal will confer boon on thousands
of human beings, and thereby add material
to the edifce whose breadth and elevation

herewith append a receipt which has been
used to my knowledge in hundreds Of cases. 1t
will prevent or cure the smallpox though the
pittiDgs are filling. When Jenner discovered
ow-pox in England the world of science hurled
an avalanche Of fame upon bis head but when the
most scientific school of medicine in the world
that of Paris published this recipe as panacea
fer small pox, it passed unheeded. 1t Is as un-
failing as fate, and conquers in every instance.
II is harmless when taken by well person. 1t

mall.pox-when learned physicians said the pa
tent must die it cured Sulphate Of zinc one
grain, foxglove (digitalis) one grain, half tea
spoonful of sugar mix with two tablespoonfuls
OF water. When mixed add four ounces Of water.
Take tablespoonful every hour. Either disease
will disappear in twelve hours. For q child
smaller doses, according to sge. II counties

The ICEBERG, ON MAGAZINE STREET, OPPOSITE
MAGAZINE MARKET.-We have often wondered
why no allusion has ever been made by
historians to the drinking saloons in the
antedeluvian world. Was it owing to the
inhabitants being inveterate teetotalers. or are
we to sscribe it to the limited facilities which that
age afforded for indulgences of such a character.
Whatever may have been their motives for pre-.
serving silence upon the subject we are at a loss
to conjecture, and can only remark in connection
that there could have been no Frank Richards,
with his noted Iceberg. existing at that period, or
else our ancestors would have been delighted to
have transmitted his name to pOsterity, crowned
with immortal honors.
