4 chromatic printing press is exhibited in
the machinery department Of the American
Institute Fair, which, with single impris-
sion, prints in three different colors, and
works as rapidly as any platen pres can print
a single color. Each of the three equal parts
into which the surface Of the inking-cylinder
is divided is supplied with adjustable color
strips of various sizes to correspond in width
with any line or part Of line of type, and
each part is supplied with color from one
of the distributing rollers. Lines are struck
on the surface Of the cylinder, which are
numbered to correspond with lines and num-
bers on the chase, so that it is easy for the
pressman to set his sectors (color-stips) to

correspond with the lines Of the type which
it is desired to print in colors. Within
misutc the press may be changed from two
or three colors to one, by throwing two POI
lshed ~heils, or half-cylinders, over the color
arrangements, enabling the pre~msn to use
three times the amount of distribution and
linking surface that he now has on any one
color job press.

One cold, windy, snowy night, in the
month of January, before the breaking on.
Of ::the late war, youth, about Is years
of age, and who was hungry and cold, stood
screening himself from the wind and snow
in one Of the large doorways Of the post
Office. He was stranger, and had just ar
rived here from his home in one of the
mountain counties, where he had been,
''bound ont by his parents before their death
to work on farm. He, it appears, was
badly treated by his foster parents, and with
out shilling in his pockets, lie left them to
find his way to an uncle, who lived some
where in Kansas-where, he did not know.
About midnight that night, gentleman,
whose bssines called him In the post-Office,
discovered the hoy in his lonely and sad con-

WHERE THE BLAME HHOCI.D BE:
PLACED.

E1sANk sDs
While We consider Mr.. Sidney Clarke ont
of the question as candidate for any Office
al the disposal of the voters Of the Relalbli-
can party in Kansas, we nevertheless recog-
nize the fact that he can give our party much
trouble by his unholy alliances with the
Democrats throughout the State. Especially
will this Ike the main obstacle that our friends
will have to encounter, wherever the Dem
ocracy are strong. Mr.. Clarke is an ener-
getic, as we'll as unscrupulOus
politician. He will accomplish
things not believed possible by the sober sort
Of people. So We have very simple duty
to do. The Republican party must be s'''-
tanned in spite Of the efforts Of Mr.. Clarke
and his friends to divide and distract lis
forces. 1t has great mission to perform,
and it is we'll that Sidney Clarke and all
such men should understand that the organi-
zaiion is not made up of men who will sacri-
flee their highest aspirations for the realiza-
ton Of great and vital principles to crafty
AN ambitious demagogue. Let it be dis
tinctly understood by all the Republicans
in the state, that the only disturbing
element in the party in this canvass, is that
which grows out Of Sidney Clarke's persist
ent determination to make the persons of the
party participators in alliance with the old
enemy, altogether for the qualification of his
selfish and unholy ambition for place. We
can think of nothing, now, that would en-
barrass the management Of the party ma
chinery of this canvass, If Mr.. Clarke were
disposed to submit to the decision Of the Re
publican Convention of the Sth ult., and re-
tire to private life. The unpleasant obscrva-
tions Of the Democratic papers about our
inharmony, and the ready purpose Of the
shrewd managers Of that concern to make Use
of such disturbance, must all be charged upon
Mr.. Clarke.

DH. GcLDrSG BIRD, describes cheap
battery, with which an electric current can
be evolved sufficiently energetic to decom-
pose water, ignite wire, charcoal points, &c,
Its mode Of construction is as follows:
Break the stems Of six tolacco-pipes close
the bowls, and close the aperture at the lot
tom Of each bowl with scaling-wax; get six
small toy tumblers about an inch in height,
put in each cylinder Of amalgamated zinc,
and place pipebowl in each tumbler.
Then place in each pipe-bowl thin slip OF
platinum full half an inch wide, and con-
meet it with the zinc of the next cell with
platinum wire. FIJI the pipe-bows with nj
trio acid and the tumblers with dilute sui
phuric acid, and the battery is complete. In
case platinum cannot be obtained, copper
may Ike used.

CRITICISM.

The editor of the Lawrence Tribune, is
growing critical as we'll as funny. Wen"w
advise him that literary criticism is a dan
serous business for Kansas editor, and e.
pccially for new hand at the bellows. In
Yesterday paper there was an attempt at
slashing up the logic, the coherency Of our
article published the dsy before headed ''Sid-
nev Clarke's Card" And there is no good rea-
son WHY we should feel uncomfortable about
that.
The thorough imbecility Of the effort is all
the criticism We wish to make Of the writer 5
literary accomplishments.
For instance We quote:
'sFor the sake Of Illuminating the clou,lc,l
brain Of this anxious inquirer, We will refer
him to himself, or to the TINES, or To the first
sentence Of the above extract"
This is ''Pelucid" drivel which We confess
ourself utterly at fault to see the force Of
The sentence in the extract referred to, We
quote as follows: "IIe THAT is u.s. pro-
nounccs the statements made therein, 20 far
as they relate to him, to lie unqualitic'lly
false"
This is the ''firN sentence" to which the
critic Of the Tribune alludes, in the paragraph
frs. quoted. About it We have nothing to
saw. We have no doubt that VIC were entirely
successful in making people understand what
we meant to convey. That is the vital point.
The types sometimes, make us say much
aI,snr,ier things than We write. But, We
have no idea that men of sense will fail to
arrrehend the real meaning of what We scrib
bic for the daily papers, except when
they get under 50 dense cloud as
has our friend Of the Tribune in his attempt

Aattering account Of the prospects { the

"The cars arrived at Fairfield on the 18th

twenty-five miles beyond, and they are push
