Mackie's Type Composing Machine,

This ingenious and philosophical
piece of mechanism is attracting more
and more attention, and is likely to
prove, as it comes to perfection, the az
guments which is to "dissove into thin
air the predictions Of those who have
always insisted upon the absolute i'm
possibility of setting type by machin-
cry. 1t is not reasonable to suppose
that machine which is already sue
cessfully performing the work of the
Graphic newspaper, besides composing
all of its inventors publications, and
doing it's work to the satisfaction of
both, that it has not the qualities
claimed for it. We take from a Lon
don paper the following description of
its characteristics:
''It works on the principle of the
jacquard loom, composes types of any
size at the rate of u, 900 an hour, and,
with all the expenses of distribution
and making up included, the cost of
composing by this machine is estimated
about three and e-half pence per
thousand: it is also stated by the
patentee that perforators and compos-
ers ofdouble speed may be easily pro-
duced: It is claimed that the action
and capabilities of the perforator being
once understood, the operator, male or
female, may prepare the slips at home
IN the same way as needle-Work is now
done by the sewing or an
author may actually perforate his own
manuscript, and thus insure correct
ness"

Attacked by a Wolf.

On the 9th inst, about eleven at
night, the soldiers at Taylor Barracks,
Louisville, were aroused by hearing
shots fred within the garrison, and
loud noises and scuffiing in the vicinity
of the stables of Company E, of the 7th
cavalry. On repairing there they found
that large gray wolf had attacked one
Of the stable guard and severely bitten
him in the hand and arm. The soldier
was asleep at the time, and it is won
der he was not more seriously injured.
He succeeded in disabling his wolfship
with pitchfork, and then shot him
with a revolver It is not known whence
the wolf came, but as it had a leather
collar on its neck it is to be supposed
it belonged to some one in the neighbor-
hood. The soldier who was wounded
skinned the wolf liter the affray was
over, and retains it's hide as a trophy
of the light. The noise and confusion
incident to a scene of this kind led to
considerable excitement, and it was
thought at first by some that it was an
attack of Ku-Klux.

of what he was about to do, when a
great scream frightened him so that
the uplifted Ratchet fell from his hand,
cutting an ugly cash in Dolly's rosy
cheek. The scream came from Aunt
Susan. She was standing in the dairy,
her arms laden with milk-pans
'That wretched, wretched boy "
she cried, "cutting off Hates dolls

Kate came home, and was so elated
with new gifts from her father that she
forgot all about Dolly that night; but
the very next day she found out what
had happened. Frank PROPOSED deep
repentance for the deed, and even
offered to walk mile to the drug store
to get plaster to bind up the cut with.
But Kate, with tears IN her eyes, re-
iected his aid She made milk poul-
tice, and tied up the hurt cheek, and
played that Dolly had ''an daCfuI tooth

a thing, only little milk"
the milk Frank, who had been shut
out from the room, and who was anx-
ious to see the FEdoctoring" that was
going on inside, had climbed up out

shook so that the milk spilled from the
spoon, and dripped upon Dolly's pink
shoes. Kittie cried, and ran to Aunt
Susan, and told her that aaoU Dollys
new pink shoes were all spoiled.
"No harm done at all, chick" said
Aunt Susan; there is nothing like a
little white soap and milk to clean kid
shoes with, even if they have been
stained with milk Kittie tried the mix
ture, and the shoes came out nice and
new; and so did Dolly, too, the next
christmas, for Frank grew so truly
sorry for the mischief he had done,
that he saved his money and bought
his sister new doll, which she greatly
admired, but never loved half so much
as the old one with the hurt cheek

SUGAR

Mr. Editorials your readers may not all be fanni-
lar with the present tariff sugars and it's effect on
their cost to consumers few facts may be of interest
to some of them.
Under the act last passed by Congress such grades
as are suitable for refining purposes pay a duty of
IA to 274c per b., while those adapted to consumpion
or suitable to use without change pay duty of %
to cts. per b. The result of this is that the quantity
of the better grades imported is very snal-by COM
parison next to none-consequently the entire COM
munity are obliged to take, with slight exception,
those clarified or refined here.
If this difference in cost {the amount of which
you can readily conceive would be immense in dol
lars), went into the Treasury, we should all feel
relief in the knowledge that it contributed to
pay debt which would have to be met in some
other form, and, consequently, not matter of anv
especial consequence. But such is not the fact.
On the contrary, what duty is now paid over the
rates for refining grades, is for the protection of
few manufacturers in this country; or, if that ex-
preston is objected to- for the profit and expense of
doing the work here, it being well known that Su-
gars are clarified where the raw material is produc-
ed which, as suggested, we should get but for the
| excessive duty they now pay.
Molasses, which can almost be called Sugar as it
is used as its substitute pays but rate of duty,
though it may be worth % or 50 cents per gallon
All coffees without regard to quality or place of
growth, pay cents per ID; and Teas, though they
be worth 80 cents per H. $1.20, pay Is cents Tt
is intended to petition Congress- that the tariff shall
be so changed that all grades of Sugar shall paw one
rate of duty-it being recoIected that refiners do
not now pay any manufacturers tax. The necessi-
ties OF our indebtedness as government will for q
long time require duty to be placed on Sugars.
which Will, no doubt, be liberal protection to orr
planters III Louisiana and Texas. Persons feeling a
desire to effect change in this matter will no
doubt, accomplish the most desirable result by con-
ferring with the Representatives of CONGRESS- from
their district. ANTI-MONOPOLY.

Breeding New Varieties Of Bees.

The editor of the Bee Journal, in
reply to a correspondent who suggests
the breeding of new varieties of bees,
comments as follows:
We suspect that the "cominQ bee" is
still further in the distant future than
our correspondent imagines The sec
ond, third, fourth, or even the fifth
generation of bred bees. taken as
| they run or fly, is not likely to have q
fixed character, transmissaf5le with GER
talnty III subsequent breeding, if we
may trust our own observations: and
til such plant is reached, it can not be
SAID that the product possesses any
character at all. We have frequently
seen the third and fourth generation of
| cross bred bees, on both sides of the
family, and could not perceive that
there was yet any "fxityn about them,
except that all of them had, invariably,
like their remotest ancestry, four wings
and SIX feet. The first cross, however,
always proved true to name. for cross
they ever were, through all the moods
aud lenses In subsequent crosses this
bad trait was perhaps less prominent,
| but neither was there any indication of
tendency to permanent Improvement.
Further than the fourth or fifth genera
ton we have no experience to speak of,
nor do we think we shall have shortly.
/ as we mean to cut off the whole tribe.
"without remainder next season. by
dethronlng the queens and substituting
pure Italians in their stead-for, as at
present advised, we must candidlv say
those are good enough for us.
| But we do not wish to be understood
as denying the possibility of original
ing and establishing a superior breed
OF bees. Far from it. On the contrary
we believe it is practicable and will be
done, though not lightly nor speedily.
When the principles of scientific breed
ing shall have been investigated and
ascertalned IN regard to bees, as they
have been IN regard to other domestic
| animals, and means devised for carry
ing on the process with precision and
! certainty. as definite branch of bust
ness, the way will be open for improve
ment IN this direction, and perhaps will
be found to devote to it the requisite
time, attention and skill. Then, and
not till then, may the looming bee 81
that will stay, be looked for with some
! confidence.
Captain Baldenstein, who introduced
the Italian bee in Switzerland long be-
fore 1t attracted the notice of German
aplarians, had during eight or ten
years, only one stock of the pure race,
with a number of hybrid colonies Of
various degrees Of lntermixture; but
he does not appear to have observed
among the latter, at any time, any that
were superior or even equal as honey
storers t.? the original, pure Italians.
AS genial bee-keeper and close OBJ
server, he may be regarded as trust
worthy reporter of what was seen when
the first cross-bred bees presented
themselves outside of Italian territory.
| Casual mixture, or loosely managed
constructing, has not yet led to any
encouraging results. More is to be
hoped from systematic methods, when
we get into position to adopt and pros
ecute them

Keep a Few sheen,

A correspondent of the Country
Gentleman pithily says:
"Some way or other agriculture
seems incomplete without a flock OF
sheep. They are essential to the thick
set longevity of the old grass land, ana
all the world over and in olden times
they were esteemed as most important,
and in the most improved agricultural
country, viz, England, they are cher
ished by every farmer, from the high
est to the lowest. The wool is one of
the incomes which cannot be dispensed
with, and the focks are so managed
that the tegs cut heavier and more val
liable fieeces than older sheep in fact,
teg feeces in England not only weigh
thirty per cent. heavier than those Of
the ewes, but make ten or more per
cent higher prices. If any tenant
farmer in the regular agricultural dis
tricts of England famed without sheen.
he would soon lose his crops, and no.
body would rent to a man who did not
practice sheep husbandry.

The Indians OF the Rocky Mountains.

A letter from Granville Stuart, pub,
lished in the St. Louis Republican,
gives an interesting account of the con
dition of the eight Indian tribes in the
Rocky Mountain region. All of these
have declined in numbers and in char
acter. The Shoshonees have reserva.
tion in Wind River valley, and depend
on the Indian department for living.
They are contentedly learning to farm.
The Snakes and BannacLs are on two
reservations in Montana They have
So acres under cultivation. The Flat
heads and Pend Orilles are partially
civilized and have farms of their own.
The Nez Perces are quiet and well dis
posed, and stay on their reservation,
The Grows are in the Yellowstone val
ley, and have 1l2 acres under crltiya-
ton. The Blackfeet and P1egans hunt
along the Teton river. The Indians OF
Montana are more contented than here
tofore Mr.. Stuart thinks that the In.
dams have suffered great injustice and
cruelty, and that in q very short time
they VIII be extinct.

A Surgeon in TrOubIe,

An Austrian surgeon has got into
trouble in a singular way. A burgo-
master named Klym was gored in the
left side by a wild bull, and the doctor
who was summoned to attend the in
jured man wore a gold ring, which
slipped off his finger during the opera
ton and remained in the wound. The
loss was not noticed until after the
wound had been dressed, and It was
not thought proper to put the unfortu-
nate III greater danger by endeavoring
TO recover the ring. The burgomaster
died, and the surgeon has since been
arrested, on the charge that death had
been caused not by the wounds, but by
Inflammation produced by the ring

The First National Bank Building.
From the Chicago Journal,

We have learned some points with
reference to the destruction of the First
National Bank building, not heretofore
published. This building, erected Oh
the southwest corner of Washington
and State streets, was considered fire
proof, as it would have been in any or.
binary fire. The main floor, and the
desks of the bank would not have been
mate tally injured but for the enormous
weight Of photographic stones, amount
ing to two hundred tons, which were
stored in the fifth story, and which
broke through the iron girded floors tc
the bank, and the real estate office Oh
Field, King & Co., in the basement IN
der the bank.
The offices of the princeton Loan
and Trust Company, &C. G. Ham
mond, and the "Illinois Pneumatic
Gas Company" III the basement on the
Washington street side, are uniniured,
and have been occupied since the fire,
The repairs now being made on the
building render the offices untenable
for the present, OF the parties would
now be transacting their business as
usual. It is, however, a remarkable
fact, that the offices in the basement
We're not scorched, the books and pa
pers left outside the safes escaped IN
hurt, and the Illinois Pneumatic Gas
Co. S gas generator, in the iron apart
ment IN the rear of the basement, es-
capped unhurt, and is at present the
only single means Of supplying gas in
all the burnt district, the coal gas
works having exploded early Monday
morning Such a miraculous escape
frola 50 terrific confagration seems to
demand an especial notice, and great
credit is due to the builders of such an
edifce. The offices will be recognized
by the former tenants as soon as the
building is cleared of its debris, and
put in proper repair.

Winter. Published by J. R. Osgood & Col
Tie apples are ripe in the orchard,
The work of the reaper is done,
And the golden woodlands redden
In the blood of the dying sun.
At th cottage. door the grandsire
Sits, pale in his easy chair,
While a gentle wind of twilight
PLAYS with his silver hair.
A woman is kneeling beside him
A fair, young head is prest
In the first wild passion of sorrow,
Against his aged breast.
And far from over the distance
The faltering echoes come
Of the flying blast of trumpet
And the rustling roll OF drum.
Then the grandsire speaks in whisper
The end no manfcan see;
But we give him to his country,
And we give our prayers to Thee"
The violets star the meadows,
The rose-buds fringe the door,
And over the grassy orchard
The pink-white blossoms pour.
But the grandsire's chair is empty.
The cottage is dark and still,
There's namleess grave on the battlefield,
And a new one under the hill.
And pallid, fearless woman
By the cold hearth sits, alone;
And the old clock in the corner
Ticks with d steady drOne.
