From the American Newspaper Reporter,
The Price of Type: @ !.

The tariff upon printing type is pro-
hibitory in its working, and hence the
Government receives no income of
consequence from the Importation.
OF course the price charged by Amer
ican founders is equivalent to the for
eign price and the tariff added togeth-
| er. Hto fAs-
In order that the printers and pub
fishers of the country may know ex-
actly what they pay in the form of
bounty to the type founders of this
country, we subjoin the price of type
in Toronto and New Y ork: Hoi9a
Size. Toronto. Nesc Y ork.

Brewer, per lib Ac 64c.
Bourgeois, per lb 4Oc 6Oc.
Long Primer, perlb36c Z" SEC.
Small Plea, per lb 34c SAC.
Thus it will be seen that TIE Amer
lean printers pay for their body type
an average of 63 cents per pound while
the Canadian printers pay an average
of Al cents per pound. That is we
pay fifty per cent. more than we
should. Fatg .4I.
This enormous extortion cannot be
de1enueu upon prOpecglOn 2TOunuS,Ior
it is well-known theory of protec-
tionists that the greater industrial in
terests shall have preference. Thus
articles entering into the consumption
of great manufacturing interests shall
be admitted free. HaaH adi
The annual production of printing
in the United States is $72, 600 0000, ,em-
ploying over $4,000 skilled mechan-
les while the annual production of
founding is $1,500,000, employ
ing near 200 mechanics. gga 3gl
Will this enormous business longer
submit to be subsidized for the benefit
of a monopoly? - eas,s1als .t5f
1t has been whispered now that the
subject is agitated by the Press of the
country, the American founders will
come down in the price of type. If
they do, so much for so much. But
let the Press demand the removal of
the duty on type, and then no three
men can get together and say how
much the 10000 printers of tho Uni
ted States shall pay for their tools 10
work with. H5a

A NEw,FAsHoNED SNow.-The snow
which blocked up the Union Pacific
Railroad is described as a peculiar
kind of snow. 1t would pack and
soon become as hard as ice. The snow
plows, driven up against it with the
united force of four locomotives,
would hardly make an impression,
The only way to get 1t out was to dig
trenches every six feet down to the
rails, and then use the snow plows.
But that was not successful. At one
time three engines were thrown from
the track and the snow plow smashed
in trying to get through, when to the
eye it would seem that one engine
could go through without difficulty.
AT some points, says letter writer,
l have seen the snow so hard that the
engines would leave the rails and run
right upon 1t, mounting it as though 1t
was flint rock. You would not be-
lieve that unless you could see 1t, but
il istrue. I did not believe it till l
saw it, for il seems incredible.

CHAPTER III.
tx years that folle
{ his wife and the 10!


The six years that followed the
death of his wife and the loss of his
child, passed wearily to James Du-
rant. He visited nearly every coun-
try in the Old World, seeking among
scenes ofnatural beauty and grandeur
as well as of historic interest, for the
mental rest which could never be
found. Once more he turned his steps
toward America, and sought his Ma
sonic friend Wadsworth. Finding
that gentleman about setting out with
his family on a journey TO the Atlantic
coast. Mr.. Durant accepted the invi-
tation to accompany them to Saratoga
and Niagara, then to New 7 ork, where
leaving the ladies, Mr.. Wadsworth
and Mr.. Durant wandered from town
to town along the coast, enjoying the
beauty of the scenery and the quiet
hospitality that greeted them more
than the crowded hotels and the fash
ionable style of the popular watering
places. Fancy, and the kind hand of
Providence, at length led them to the
little town of B, and the second
evening after their arrival they visit
ed the Masonic Lodge. A warm well
come was extended to these Brethren
from such distant homes, and both.
were invited to address the Lodge.
Mr.. Durant said !: IS sls e53 IS.
"Brethren: have travelled much
and long. have found Masonic SYM

everywhere is Masonry substantially

"Six years have passed since this
dear friend and brother robbed him
self of his life preserver, that my little
hoped the elements might be kind, and
that Heaven would send her relief,
but she was never heard of more"
The voice of Mr.. Durant was quiv-
ering with emotion, and unable to
speak further he seated himself and
covered his face with his hands.
Chances of surprise and pleasure
were cast from one to another among
the Brethren of Hiram Lodge. No
one spoke however, but all eyes turn
ed upon the Master, Mr.. Turner. For
moment he seemed rejecting; then
taking a slip of paper from the Secre-
tary he wrote: t

New YORK, Feb. Ia The Committee OF
the American Protestant Association OF New
York met this evening and made arrangements
for the parade on Washington's birthday. IT
ia expected that 5000 men will be in dine. No
flags or banners will be carried except the ma
tional standard. A police escort is promised
aud probably two regiments will JOIN INC
parade"
Many of your readers will, no doubt, on
reading the above dispatch think it strange
why such an association should, in advance,
find it necessary to inform the public that
thew have provided themselves guards OF
Dolice and military, but their wonder will
cease when they are infotmed that this is
only one of the many disguises that the
hand of assassins known as Irish Orange
men. have assumed in this country, and
even under these three aliases they are
afraid to trust themselves before the
American people except under the protec,
ton of the muskets of two regiments OF
soIdiers and the batons and reyolvers OF

New Hospital in st. Louis.

His Grace, the Right Rev. Bishop Feehan,
OF Nashville, has given permission to Bro
Their Leonard, orc of the Alexian Brothers
of st. Louis, No., to collect money in aid
of the erection of a hospital in that city.
The Alexian is a very old order, estab-
lished in the fourteenth century. Their
whole life is devoted to attending on the
poor and sick. All their houses are hospi-
tails where they take in all, without dis
tiDction and free of charge. They have no
means of supporting their establishments
except by assistance from the charitable.
They have houses in Belgium, Germany,
Holland and America.
The order also takes care of insane per-
sons, and has hospitals specially for them.
They wait on private persons in their own
houses, and remain there "a long ss neces-
| sary, and in some cities they have the en-
tire charge of the burying ground.
These being the objects Of this holy body
and His Grace, the Right Rev. Bishop Fee
han, having given his sanction, it may b<
expected that Brother Leonard, o. 8. A..
who has been deputed to solicit subscrip
tions, will receive such . reception as tn
large hearted and all-embracing charity o
the faithful in the diocese of Nashville
might be expected to afford.

How THE CASE WAS PUT.-One of the
foremost LAWYERS in Canada is the famous
Queens Counsel O'Reilly, of Kingston, who
secured such a reputation by his successful
prosecution otWhelan for the murder Of,
the Hon. Thomas Darcy MCGEE. Tall,
handsome, ford, portly, jolly OF eye and
mellow of voice, he recalls irresistibiy the
Irish counselipr of fifty years ago, alike
prepared for the bottle or the bar, ready
with joke, challenge or q demurrer.
Well, MI. OReilly was once engaged Tor
the nlaintiff in a suit where it was sought
to recover $4,000, alleged to be due by de-
PENDANT. who denied the existence OF any
liability whatever. 1t was on country
circuit. The jurors were of the agricultural
persuasion. For two mortal days the coun-
sci on both sides pelted them with authori-
ties. reference, objections, cross examina-
tons, rebutting evidences, testimony IN

tice only know what-til the honest
farmers were reduced to comatose con,

WHERE THE GOLD GoEs.-In the reign
of Darius gold was thirteen times more
valuable, weight for weight, than silver.
In the time of Plato it was twelve times
gold was only nine times more valuable,
owing, perhaps, to the enormous Quantities
of gold seized by him in his wars. 1t is
natural question to ask-what became of
the gold and silverf A paper read before
the Polytechnic Association by DR.. Ste

| duct, fully fifteen Der cent is melted down
| for manufacture; thirty five per cent goes
| to Europe, twenty five per cent to Cuba
fifteen per cent to Brazil five per cent d.
rect to Japan, China and the Indies leav-
| ing but five per cent for circulation in this
country. OF that which goes to Cuba, the
West Indies and Brazil, fully fifty per cent
finds its way to Europe, where, after de-
Quoting large per centage used in mann

exported to India. Hero the transit Of the
