The Radical Press Convention.

OF TINS convention we derive from the
Republican,, whose editor does not
seem to have been invited to this Rad
ical love-feast. They do not appear
to have been so harmonious as to keep
down the temperature Of the dog days.
Some very rich developments were
made at the hands of some of these
cable editors' in the course of debate.
1t appears that Lieutenant Governor
Dunn and Speaker Carter, who form
majority of the Printing Committee,
have constituted ring of their own,
whose avowed object is to circumvent
the Governors ring, who, being in a
minority is unable to distribute any of
the printing patronage to his faithful
supporters. 1t was proved that Dunn
and Carter made it condition prece-
dent that every editor, who received
the State Printing, should support
them and refrain from the smallest
compliment to the Governor; and that
whenever an editor was found to de-
part from this law, his head straight
way fell into the basket. And thus it
appears that the only object of the
Printing Act was to feather the nest of
niger ex-tailor and Confederate
ex-Colonel and unfrocked Methodist
preacher. And yet the bill is about on
u par with all the other results of Rad
ical legislation in the Southern States.
This Press Convention-is only pre-
paratory to the regular Radical Con-
some time next month. The split in
the Radical party, which has been
gradually widening for the past six
months, will then either be finally
healed, or else the two factions will ar
ray themselves in open hostility to each
other. Dunn and Carter are both
greedy and INSCRIPTIONS and think
they are backed by the whole body of
The colored votes of the State. On the
other hand Warmoth is ambitious and
energetic, and is not likely TO- let go
the hold he has on the confidence of a
large portion of the Republican party.
The fight is very pretty one for the
dogdays, and is likely to be enjoyed
by the Conservatives in proportion as
the probabilities of the humiliation
of both factions increase.
How COUNTERFEIT NOTES ARE MADE.
"A party of men, say from three to
a dozen, band together and hold fire.
quent meetings, and act according to
a plan laid down. One or two will
find some copper plate printer in the
employ of the Bank Note Company,
in fact, all such printers are known
by the party. These men will then
manage to meet one of the printers
in the evening, get acquainted, drink
and have a good time generally with
him, and SO proceed for few even
ings. Then they offer him $50 to
500 to procure certain kind of
impression. This impression is made
in this wise: The printer will take
the impression upon tin foil from the
plate from which he is printing, it is
done in a moment. Thus, you see,
every line and the size is obtained
correctly. From this tin foil an cleo
trotype plate is made. They then
get some plate printer that can be
found about the city, have a good
time with him, engage him at TWEEN
ty dollars a day to do the printing.
By this plan thousands of copies are
struck off that defy detection, except
in the quality of the paper, which
will differ from the genuine Ex-
change.

KEEPING Bookkeeping cool is the
problem of the time, and there is just
as much art in this accomplishment as
in any other. People may fan them

be provided with iron open work doors
to close during the day, leaving the
wood ones open. These are perfectly
secure, aud permit free entrance of air,
while they may be painted and gilded
so as to be highly ornamental. By this
simple means a house may have cool

Queen Elizabeth.


In Paul Heintznerss Travels 1888, is the
following description: .'She was said to be
fifty-fve years old. Her face was rather long,
white and somewhat Wrinkled; her eyes
small, black and gracious; her nose some

black from eating too much sugar. She
had earrings Of pearls, red hair (but artifical),
covered (as is the case with all unmarried
ladies in England. and round her neck was
q chains with precious gems. Her hands
were graceful, her fingers long. She was
middle size, but stepped majestically. She
was gracious and kind III her address. The
dress she wore was Of white silk, with pearls
as large as beans. Her cloak was of black
silk. with silver lace, and a long train was
carried by machioness. She spoke English,
French and italian; but she knew also Greek
and Latin, and understood Spanish, Scotch
and Dutch. Whereyer.she turned her eyes

to Ene door OF the chapel, books were handed
to- her, and the people called out, God save

answered. sI thallse you nayn good peuple. Il
