IL both a scholar and thief;
And 'mong the other thieves about him
Is boss and the acknowledged chief.
Being short Of meat and also money,
He thought it meet and proper too,
That he should get a lot--lard, bacon,
And so forth; and, in canoe,
He padded up to the Tom Jasper
And with side bacon filed it full.
Then down the Ohio he glided,
With swift and very skillful pull.

A Great Blunder I'm Repairing the
r Atlantic Cables.

The steamer Robert Lowe is engaged
in repairing the French cable between
the Island Of st. Pierre and Duxbury.
The fact has been developed that the
loss of both the English cables last year,
and the consequent expense and incon-
venience, resulted from stupendous
blunder. When the cable of 1866 gave
out, the fact was located by the usual
tests in mid-ocean, whittier repair
steamer was dispatched to take up and
reunite the two ends. In graphing for
these the cable of 1866 was picked up
and accidentally severed, and efforts to
find the break in that of 1866 were fruit
less. This left the public entirely de-
pendent upon the French cable until late
last spring, when it was discovered that
the fault of the cable Of 1856, instead of
being in mid-ocean, was in close prox-
unity to the Newfoundland coast, where
it might have been repaired in a few
hours, except for an original mistake
which resulted in the rupture of one
cable by the efforts to find the break in
the other where it did not exist. The
facts have important bearing in promot-
ing the laying of new and competing
cables, confirming as they do the theory
that ocean cables once properly laid in
deep water are little liable to be severed,

A type-composing machine, by means
of which types Of any size may be COM
posed at the rate of 1900 an hour, has
recently been described by the London
Bookseller. This machine, like all pre-
vious inventions, is constructed on the
plan Of a piano. The operator touches
a key, and liberates single type, which
falls into channel, and, with other let
ters, forms words and sentences, in a
long, continuous line, which is subse-
quently . spaced out" and justified |"
into lines, paragraphs and pages, by the
compositor, in the usual way. In the
new machine, however, the principal of
distributing the types is quite distinct
from all other machines Instead of the
operator himself directing the outward
flow of the type by striking keys and
pedals. the action Of the machine IS
purely automatical, and is governed by

Stirring Obituary.


Stirring Obituary.
A good newspaper story has lately
been told relating TO the Colorado Her
aid. The editor of Herald had an
occasion to leave town for few days,
and intrusted his valuable organ to the
care Of an ambitious youth who was
novice in Journalism. His instruc-
tions on leaving were modelled after
those of the elder Bennett in similar
emergencies. Always keep before your
mind the fact that the object Of this
newspaper is TO extend its circulation"
he said, = and whenever you see chance
to insert puff Of the Herald in any
notice you make, pileIit on as thick as
you can. Keep the people stirred up
all the tlmeg you understand, 80 that
they will believe the Herald is the great
est sheet in the United States" He
then went away, and the following night
his wife died very suddenly. This is
how the assistant editor mentione the
circumstance: 9e 0l lg1gnp iou d :

The story has this unhappy ending:
Well, the editor arrived home that day
at noon. Slowly and sadly he was OBJ
served to arm himself with double-bar-
relied fowling-piece, into which he in
serted about two pounds and a half OF
bullets. 4 He marched over to the Office,
followed by an immense crowd. The as
sistant editor was busy painting big
placard to be tackled on the hearse 1t
bore the legend, Buy your coffins of
Simms, over the Herald Office. ~ The
assistant editor cast his eye around and
perceived his chief Care sat upon that
wan cheek, and thunder clothed his
brow. He leveled his gun. His assist
ant did not wait With one wild and
awful yell he jumped from the second
story window, and struck out for the
golden shores of the Pacific. 1t is be-
lieved he eventually swan over TO China.
