AN INCIDENT OF THE GRAND
DUKES VISIT.
From the Boston Journal

When the Russian Duke Alexis
was entertained In the Music Hall
by the exhibition of the School
children, in December, 1871, the
bust of Franklin was knocked from
its pedestal by persons in the Bal
cony, and struck lady named
Elizabeth Kendall upon the head,
inaicting injuries which required
medical attendance for q considera-
BILE time. The decorator of the
hall, before his bill was paid, offer
ed to make the matter right with
the injured person, but the offer
was declined. AT the term of the
Supreme Court in October a suit
was entered against the city ON be-
half of the injured lady for $4,000
damages. There being some doubt
as to the liability Of the city, and
Alderman Cutter and jenkins hay
ing been members of the committee
in charge of the festival, suits have
also been brought against them
and their property attached. They
have also received letters intima
ting that it would be better fol
them to advocate the payment Of
the claim by the city. 1t is claim
ed by the defense that the injured
person was present of her own free
will, and ran her own risk.
The trial will take place next
month. e

Position Of a Residence.

Houses on streets running
nearly north and south are far
preferable to those located ON
those going east and west, in a
sanitary estimate. In the first,
here at the north Of the equa-
tor the sun shines brilliantly in
the forenoon on the front, and
with nearly equal force in the
afternoon on the rear. Thus
dampness is expelled and the
whole ediflces dry and the air
far purer for its solar exposure.
If a house is on an east and
west street, those fronting north
are decidedly the best for a resi-
dence, because the suns action
on the yard, the kitchen, and
usual regions of neglected ac-
cumulations, puriies and Inodi-
fies the humid atmosphere that
is sure to predominant in yards
and the back side Of houses
whose rear is north Of the
street. Thus circumstanced,
the back rooms are never 80
pleasant, cheerful, oreconomic-
ally warmed in winter orventi-
lated in summer as when on
the south side. Opening on
the street, the frame Of each
gets both light and air by rea-
son Of the frequent swing Of the
front door. Here is Q law Of
health in a nutshell. .els.s

which he generally gave up piece

but because of shortness Of funds,

Up in the attic lived single lodg-

IL was an acute remark. MIR,
Smiths clotes did fit him too good,

always made the black boards look

GROWING OLD TOGETHER.

Do you know am thinking tomorrow
We shall pass ON our journey through life
Ono more Of the mile stones that bring us
Still nearer the goal, my good wiicY
The glad anniversary morning
Of our wedding-day cometl once more;
And It's evening win find us still waiting
Who had thought to have gone long before
We arc told, wife, know by the furrows
Time has plowed OF your br0W, once SO fair
I know by the crown of bright silver
He has left for your once raven hair;
] know by the frost ON the flowers
That Frightened our life at its dawn;
! know by the graves in the church-yam,
Where we counted our dead yestermorn.
YOnr way has been humble and tOiisw0rD,
Yonr guest has been trouble, good wife
Part sunshine, more trials and sorrows
Have ma,le upyour record through life:
But may the thought cheer you, my d0sr one
Your patience and sweet clinging love
Have made me here such heaven,
have asked, as there brighter above ?"
IN llfc's winter, sweet wife, we are living.
But Its storms all unhecdcd will fall;
What care we. who have love aud each other
Who have proved zach t0 each, all in all ?
Hand in hand we await the nights coming,
Giving thanks, down the valley VIC Sos
For to love and to grow old together
Is the highestbliss mortals can know
SOlne children are still left to bless us,
And Tighten our hearts day by dag;
II hope is not always frUition,
Wewill strive to keep IN tlle right way.
We have sowed and roaped, but the harvest
That garners the world we await,
And happilyat last we may cnter

CALIFORNIA ATTRACTIONS TO
TOURISTS THIS YEAR.
From the San Franclsco Bulletin.

lrIou bnc
Tourists will find the State par
ticularly attractive this year, and
hotels and means of transportation
improved in many respects. We
promised wagon road into the
Yosemite; two new and large steam
ers on Lake Tahoe; good facilities
for reaching good houses at the
new and magnificent Mount Shasta
region. Galen Clark, State Guard
ian of the Yosemite Valley, got
out to Mariposa on snow-shoes the
other day, He reports o greater
depth Of snow in that region than
ever fell in one winter before in his
long experience. The fall-tht
most beautiful feature of the scenery
of the great valley-will, therefore
be exceptionally full, beautiful, and
lasting this year. The fact should
be impressed upon tourists that
from April to the close of July Il
much the best time for seeing Cali
fornia in Its verdure and beauty
while the least amount Of dust |,
then encountered on the overland
railroad and other roads.

ElectrOtyping and Stere0-
tipping.

fNfA -------- Jtti ittNfiti &
AS most Of our readers probably
know, the leading daily newspapers
are printed, not from type, but from
stereotype casts; otherwise it would
be simply impossible to strike off
their huge editions with sufficient
rapidity. The principal magazines
and other periodicals, and mos
books, are also printed from stereor
type or clectrotype plates.
The process Of stereotyping con-
sists in making a "matrix" Of five
or six sheets of paper pasted to-
gether with peculiar paste, and
wetted thoroughly to pulpy state.
In twenty-four hours this is ready
for use. 1t is then beat into the
Storm" of type by a hard brush
until the impression is thoroughly
made, after which it is well driedin
hot press. This is the paper
mold. Any number Of casts can
thus be taken with expedition, and
the type is subject to no apprecia-
BILE wear. This method answers
admirably for newspapers, but the
process has defects, especially when
applied to fine book work or the re-
production of engrayings, and for
these purposes it has of late years
been almost entirely superseded by
the more costly but far more salts
factory process of electrotypings 2
This process may be briefly desr
cribed as follows; An impression of
the page is taken in wax, forming q
perfect mold. The face Of this mold
is covered with plumbago, to give it
a metallic surface. The mold is
book concerns do their own work
of this kind, but there is an i'm
then submittedto galvanic action
in a tank filled with q strong soln
ton of sulphate of copper. A thin
film of copper is instantly deposited
on the surface of the mold, increas-
ing in thickness until the coating
forms "shell' about as thick as
stout paper. This thin shell is
strengthened by being "backed upp
with type metal; the plates are then
planed to a uniform thickness Of
about one-seventh of an inch, and
secured upon blocks of wood. '7
The electrotype is a perfect fac
simile of the original page or en-
craving, the minutest lines and
points being reproduced with abso-
ute precision. Besides giving q
clearer impression, it is more dura-
bic than the stereotype, and alto
gether superior in artistic effect
Most Of the great newspaper and
mense amount required by the COM
munity generally, and in all large
cities there are numerous establish
ments making speciality of this
line of business.
One Of the oldest and best known
in New York is that of Mr.. Charles
Craske, No. 61 Ann street. For
more than twenty years Mr.. Craske
has pursued this avocation, and en-
ploys large number of hands in
Jhe execution of electrOtyping and
stereotyping in the best possible
Anything that may be re-
quired in this line will be. promptly
and satisfactorily furnished. Mr..
Craske's business is chiefly in flll-
ing city orders, and these flow in
with such rapidity that the re-
sources of the establishment are

1t has been geserally understood, and
the state officers have studiously encour-
aged the understanding, that the Illinois
penitentiary, since the last ''reconstruc-
ton in its management, has been paying
its way. But now comes from Springfield
the report that the penitentiary commis-
sioners will ask the general assembly, at
the approaching session, to make another
large appropriation to carry on that estab-
lishment,
What is the matter in the management
IF that establishment, that it is become a
vast and apparently permanent burden
upon the people? Are there not men in Illi-
Illinois capable ofrunnlug II without running
the state 6 'ntinually in debt? Or is it tina,
thepenitentiary is become a. plum with which
partisan .vernnrs are expected to keep w
the discip line and efficiency OF the party ?
There is much reason to believe that the
latter is the true explanation.
