Revolution in Printing.

A new tYpe-setting machine is now
on exhibition in the International Ex-
position of Industry at London, which
seems to obviate some Of the difficulties
that have hitherto prevented type-set-
ting machines from coming into prac-
teal use. The new machine operates
with the ordinary type in use in every
printing Office. Each machineis worked
by two boys, who require no other
training than to read and to work. or
adjust certain levers or keys like a
piano-forte. The process of distribu-
ton is also very simple, and is effected
By areyersal of the method of type
setting. It is stated that boy, by the
aid OF this machine, can Distribute inst
q little faster than tife- hest skilled tyDe-
setter. This new labor-saving inven-
ton has been examined by the most
competent judges, and pronounced to
be very nearly perfect. The best
possible proof of this is afforded
by the fact that two of these
machines are now in constant and sat
isfactory operation in the London
to set up and distribute the entire
paper by the sole agency of machinery
If this can be effected, it will DO much
to bring the new machines into opera
ton and effect a complete revolution in
printing Much, however, will depend
upon the price at which the new ma
chimes can be placed in the market.
It is indispensable that the interest CT
the capital invested in them should be
less than the wages of the skilled work
men, whose labor is dispensed with.
With this condition secured, there is
nothing to prevent them from coming
into general use, with the result Of
cheapening books and newspapers, and
bringing them more than ever before
within the means of the million.

A Tradition DESTROYED.

Let us amend our traditions. It ap-
pears from an article in Petermann's
M1tthe1lungen on the consumption of
tea IN China, that the notion that tea is
the ordinary drink of the Chinese is O
popular delusion. "The people of the
lower classes" he says, g especially in
the Northern provinces, only know it
as luxury, and drink hot water with
as much pleasure as the wealthy do
their infusion of green tea. The mid
die classes IN the same districts use an
Infusion of the dried leaves of certain
plants, and it is only the richer classes
who allow themselves the luxury of
drinking real tea. Even in the prov
1nces where tea is. grown, tea-drinking
is not general. The plant grows on
hills often not less than q thousand
feet above the nearest valleys, the in,
habitants Of which must therefore buv
their tea from the planters. Now, the
poor prefer to keep the copper cash
they would have to expend for this
purpose, and take hot water instead,
or, what IS more common, an infusion
OF the leaves of other plants which
grow wild III their fields. These facts
seem to lead to the inference that the
use OF tea IN China has arisen from the
aversion of the Chinese to drinking
cold water, for which q natural cause
NIGH be found in the circumstance
mat as rule the only water they can
get is that which has flowed over the
rice fields, and has consequently be-
come unhealthy through the ABSORB
Ulon OF decayed vegetable matter"

Trapping the Army Worm.

Mr.. Totman, who has been engaged
IN the cultivation of castor beans for a
number of years with moderate success,
has this season a fine crop Of 100 acres.
When the army worm was attacking
his neighbors' fields, he excavated a
ditch around part of his field, a dis
tance Of over half mile, which com.
pletely protected his plants. The
worms tried to cross, but falling into
the ditch were unable to get out again.
Mr.. Totman says they were so thick in
the ditch that thousands could be lifted
up on fork at time. Mr. Totman is
also experimenting on some worms
which he has confined in box, with a
view to ascertain their natural habits
They have already turned into the chry-
sails state, and he expects some butter

4 New Iron Mountain.

The Hon. T. Guy Phelps presented
to the Committee of One Hundred, at
recent meeting, a splendid specimen
of almost pure iron ore, which he rep
resented as being taken from an iron
mountain as large, and the ore as pure,
as that of the famous iron mountain of
Missouri. Although Mr.. Phelps de-
clined to give the exact location of the
deposit, he intimated that it was ON a
line of the contemplated Atlantic and
Pacific road, and near enough to be
utilized in the city of San Francisco.
Should coal also be discovered in the
vicinity, there might be a second Pitts
burg grow up on the Pacific slope.
Truly wonderful are the Developments
being constantly made on this side of
the continent. The iron interest is of
the utmost extent and Importance.
The annual value of iron manufactured
in the United States is 5000, 900, OO0,
and the wages of labor engaged upon
it exceeds 5000, 900, 900. The number
of workmen employed is $40, 900. Cal
crlating to the employee and his family
the consumption of agricultural pro-
ducts, it exceeds three times the value
of all the breadstufs and grain we send
abroad. A further calculation makes
1T appear that one-tenth of the entire
population of the United States is de-
pendent upon the production and man
utacture of iron for support. -jSoaa

A Wealthy Woman in San Francisco Be-
comes a Common DrInkard.


A few days since Mrs. Louisa Mig
bells, a woman said to be possessed of
property in this city to the value of
$500, 900, was arrested and taken to the
station house as common drunkard,
her conduct having become intolerable
to people residing in her vicinity. The
Police Court consigned her to the Home
of Inebriates, under the apprehension
that her arrangement was of tempo
rarY character; but, after remaining in
that institution for a short time, it was
found that decided insanity had been
produced by prolonged dissipation,
and the patient was transferred to the
asylum at Stockton. The Vallejo
Chronicle, noticing the circumstance,
supplies the following history of the
ago her husband ran q small freight
steamer between Napa and San Fran
cisco, known as the Mount Eden
He had been in the insane asylum
prior thereto. Afterward his wife
persuaded him to make a trip to the
South Seas in a vessel he had pur
chased, and, on the return, when some
forty miles from the Heads, the mate
made an Intellectual attempt to throw
Captain Mighells overheard. The mate
was convicted and sent to San Quentin,
it being generally believed that Nigh
els wife was privy to the attempted
murder. Some twenty-five years ago
Mighells was drayman in New Or
leans, and, on his marriage day, drove
his future wife to church on the drav,
from whence they got off and were
married. During his insanity she got
hold of nearly all his property by deed,
and would never return it. He went
to England few years ago, and she
lived in San Francisco, where the rents
of the property thus attained have ac-
cumulated until she has become very
wealthy. She has an interesting family
of several boys"

California for Inyaiids.

The coast OF southern California is
said to be becoming a resort for in
valids suffering from pulmonary af-
fections, and with great benefit in many
cases. According to tourist there are
three spots IN southern California
which possess a climate peculiarly
adapted for incipient consumptives.
viz San Bernardino, at the foot of the
coast mountains and about sixty miles
from Los Angeles, and Santa Barbara.
and San Diego, on the sea coast. They
all three lie between latitude thirty two
degrees and thirty-five degrees
north, and have very mild
and equable winter climate, not
liable to the trying vicissitudes of
weather which render some sea-coast
cities so exhausting to invalids. San
Bernardino is described as being far
superior in climate to Aiken. or to the
far-famed Mentone, the favorite resort
OF Europeen consumptives,a and of those
afflicted with throat disease. A case
is cited of a gentleman who had been
cOnsamptlve for some years, and had
struggled for his life in winter resi-
dence, for two years, at Nice and Men
tone, and a third year at Aiken. in
South Carolina. He was losing
strength fast, and last summer suffered
so severely from night sweats, Sleep
lessness, continual coughing and lack
of appetlte, that it was doubtful whether
he would live through the winter
anywhere. He went TO San Bernardo.
no, and by the following january was
able to travel sixty miles over rough
road, walk several miles the same even
ing, eat heartily and sleep well, ewith
scarcely any cough at all. He attri-
butes this surprising change entirely to
the climate, and mentions many per-
ons of both sexes who had reapeds
similar benefit from it. There is also
the testimony of a physician who had
removed from New York, where he was
constantly Frustrated by throat disease,
to this new haven of convaleseence.
and there he soon recovered his health.
and has retained it in perfect order
ever since. The Philadelphia Ledger.
in giving these facts, feels it its duty
to add that, while it has heard many
apparently well-authenticated state
ments of consumption cured or
checked by residence in
southern California, it has sor-
rowful knowledge of at least one in
stance of a lady who, after trying Santa
Barbara for a prolonged period, re-
turned to her home, in Ohio, within
few weeks, to die. Hers was probably
one of the cases ''too far gone" to be
by any human agencies or bv
the most favorable climate. The most
careful, intelligent advice of the physi-
clan skilled in the knowledge and treat
ment OF pulmonary diseases, is of vital
Importance before setting out on such
journey. 1t is difficult to prescribe any
special locality for those suffering from
such diseases, except by physicians well
acquainted with the constitution of
the patient. To some Florida, to 9th
ers Minnesota, if taken in time, would !
be more beneficial; to all, fresh air
and moderate exercise are the chief al
Ieyiators. "

SHANGHAI, June 12-The tea season
commenced few days after the despatch
of the last mail. This year that event ex-
cites more than usual interest Twenty
two tea -tasters left Shanghai for Hankow
III expectation of reaching the great mart
ror black teas before the opening of the
market but they arrived twenty-four
hours too late. Tea-tasters on the spot an
ticipated them, the tea having been
brought to market few days earlier than
usual. A large fleet OF ocean steamers was
at hand competing for cargoes. Several OF
them have already been dispatched, and
heavy bets are made on their respective
sailing qualities. In the days of tea-clip-
pers, before the opening of the Suez canal,
there was great racing, competition, and
betting, but now these have become OF
more absorbing interest to all in China and
to many in London. Nearly all the first
crop is sent to England, where the teas
which first arrived are at premium For
the most part the teas that are in demand
for the American market are dispatched
later in the season. There was so much
detention on the Pacific railway last year,
that merchants are at a loss whether to
send the commodity this year across the
Pacific to San Francisco, or to New York
via the cape.
Foochow is the green tea mart. Teas
began TO arrive from the interior, at that
port on The 9Th ult. At Hankow and at
FoochOw the teas are reported as of aver
age quality and price.
A few days after the arrival of the first
crop of teas the silk men received musters

we arc all hard at work, the business seas

velop the resources of the country, foreign
commerce. which is even now enriching
the empire, would soon increase twenty

Unfortunately the only improvement
which the rulers are disposed to favor is in
the art of war. A few days ago they
launched at this port a frigate, the largest
vessel ever constructed in China. Her
gross measurement is about 2,70O tons.
The engines are of 400 nominal horse-pow
er, but capable Of working up to 1850
horse power. The battery will comprise
twenty, six forty-pounder rifle guns and two
ninety Founders, also rifed. The vessel,
engines, aud all were constructed by Chi
nese workmen. Only four foreigners have
had to do with the construction, viz, naval
architect, engineer, draughtsman, and
shipwright. The workmanship is highly
creditable to the native artisans
