Rev. DR.. Hall was sitting in his
study one pleasant August afternoon
with his thoughts intent upon his
Sunday sermon, and his mind with.
drawn from worldly cares, when his
train OF thoughts was rudely inter
rupted and his attention distracted
from his theme by the following cot.

Lieutenant Governor.

Ihe contest tor Lieutenant Gov
ernor before the Republican State
Convention seems to be narrowed
down to two candidates-D. w.
Adams, OF Allamakec, and Joseph
Dysart, OF Tama. Both candidates
are good men, and each has strong
aud earnest supporters. We have
carefully examined into the merits of
the two candidates and the argu.
ments brought out by their respec
tive supporters, and believe Mr.. Dy.
sart to be the best man for the DO.
sition, for the following among other
reasons
Frst-Qualllications. Mr.. Dysart
entered the Senate in 1869, and has
been there, we believe, ever since.
These years OF experience have made
him famliar with past legislation,
have made him acquainted with the
members OF the Senate, and given
him an insight into their qualifiea.
tions and capacities, which will give
him great advantage over q new
man IN making up the committees,
by no means the least responsible Of
the duties Of tho office. He has a
thorough aud complete knowledge
OF parliamentary rules and usages,
another very important qualification
in presiding officer, and one that
is not very easily picked up by every
man.
Secona-1Iis past record-On the
great questions now .agita,ing tho
people of our State, Mr.. Dysart has
shown by his speeches, his votes and
influence, that he is on the side OF tho
people and against the extortions of
monopolies.-No man in Iowa has
better record in this respect than he.
A practical falmer himself, he knows
The wants OF the class, and has always
labored to maintain them. At tho
same time he is not a man of oEo
idea, nor will he represent one faction
to the exclusion of all others.
Wsrd-Locality-It is generally
conceded that Gov. Carpenter and
State Superintendent Abernethy will
be renominated. They are both from
the northern portion Of tho State,
aud it would not certainly, be either
proper or just to take the candidate
for Lieutenant Governor from tho
same section. We are not great
sticklers for the locality issue, but
other things being equal, it is good
policy, and one generally observed,
to distribute the candidates through
the State. Mr.. Dysart's nomination
would give the central portion OF tho
State a candidate. leaving the Su-
prcme Judge to the southern-for
we believe Judge Beck will b. re.
ominated, as he should be, and this
will be satisfactory to all sections.
Mr.. Dysart is strongly embossed by
his friends and neighbors, ard those
who know him best arc the warmcst
in his praises. lie is a plain, unas.
suming man, Of sterling integrity
and unimpeachable honesty, has re-
sided in Iowa sixteen years, is thor.
oughly posted in regard to the wants
of our people, and has always been
ready TO maintain them.
These are some OF the reasons whv
we prefer Mr.. Dysart. We have no
war to wage against Mr.. Adams or
his supporters, but believe the pub
lie interests will be best subseryed
by the election OF Mr.. Dysart. And
50 believing, we hope the Republl,
can State Convention will place him
on the ticket as tho candidate for
Lieut. utenant Governor Wdtr1oo Pe.

and compositors up to 2 and 8 o'clock
in the morning. Then stereotype
plates are made of each page, for as
many presses as desired, according
to the number of copies to be print
ed. If three of the ten cylinder
presses are to be used, by making
three sets of plates, fifty or sixty
thousand copies can be printed per
hour instead Of only twenty thous.
and per hour, which was the maxi.
mum before the introduction of ster.
eotyping.
Newspaper stereotyping was first
made successful about ten years ago.
It must not be supposed that this
was the first successful storeotyping
for any kind of printing, for printing
has been done from plates almost as
long as types have beon used but
by the ordinary method of making
stereotype plates from plaster of
Paris moulds, the time consumed
was so great as to render this meth
cd totally unavailable for newspaper
work. After many experiments, how.
ever, what is called tho
PAPER PROCESS.
OF making the stereotype n ould was
successfully introduced. This con-
sists in beating into the face Of the
type with heavy brush, prepared
sheet, with body almost like paper
pulp, and somewhat thicker than
heavy railroad card. The type form
with this wet blanket kind of mould
beaten into it, IS then placed on
steam bed to drive out the moisture
and harden the mould, which, In a
few minutes can be taken off almost
as hard as sheet OF card board, but
holding perfect impression of the
type. To make and trim q plate
with type metal is now very simple,
and the same mould can be used for
as many plates as desired. The short.
est time occupied in getting plate
ready from the time in which the
form is ready for the stereotypers, is
about twenty minutes, the greater
portion Of this being taken up in
drying and baking the moulds, and
the difficulty in dong it more rapid.
y hes In llie fao. that the type form
when ready for the stereotypers, is
very wet, and all must, of course, be
made perfectly dry. These sterco-
type plates are made Of type metal,
which consists Of lead, zinc and anti.
mony, and they may be used to print
any number of copies required Tho
cost of making these plates connot
be said to add anything to the ex.
penses of large newspaper, as full
enough is saved in the wear and tare
OF type to cover the expense OF max
ing the plates. The mechanical work
OF daily morning paper IS nearly all
done at night, as the copy Of the pa.
per which the city subscriber reads
at his breakfast table represents the
work OF printers and editors up to 3 |
o'clock in the morning, and the press
men thereafter.

Close the Door Lightly.

Close the door lightly,
Bride the breath,
Our little earth-angel
Is talking with Death.
Gently he wsses him,
He wishes to stay,
lIisarms are about him,
He bears him away.
Music comes floating
Down from above.
Angels are chanting
Sweet welcome Of love.
Come, stricke wceper,
And stand by the bed,
Come, gaze Oh the sleeper,
Our darling is dead.
Smooth ont the ringlefs,
Close the blue eyes;
No wonder such beauty
Was claimed in the skies;
Cross the hands gently
Upon the white breast,
So like mild spirit,
Strayed fro N the blest.
Bear him out softly,
To his last rest,
Safe with his Savior,
Darling4s blcst.
Jesus hath called him,
Pure, undefiled,
Take comfort, sad wecpcr,
IT'S we'll with the child.

UNFINISHED STILL.

A baby's boot, and skein Of wool,
Faded, and soiled and soft
Odd things, you say, and doubt you re
right,
Round seaman's neck this stormy night,
Up in the yards aloft.
Most like it's folly. but mate, look here:
When first went to sea,
A woman stood on yon far-off strand,
v ith wedding ring on the small soft hand
That clung SO close to me.
My wife-Goi bless her the day before,
She sat beside my foot;
And the sunlight kissed her yellow hair,
And the dainty fingers, deft and fair,
knitted babys boot.
The voyage was over-I came ashore:
What think you, found there?
A grave the daisies had sprinkled white
A cottage empty and dark as night,
And this beside the chair.
The little boot, twas unfinished still
The tangled skcin lay near;
But the knitter had gone away to rest
With the babe asleen on her quiet breast,
Down in the churchyard drear.

The Vienna Exhibition has decided

leave any result more remarkable than
its enormous financial deficit. There

Austrian unreadiness" from the start.
The elements have conspired against
the show, and the botel-keepers have
ably seconded them What both left
to do was effected by the appearance
of cholera, and though the disease has
left the city, so have the visitors to the
Exhibition. 1t now only remains to
transform the big shed of glass and
iron into the central feature of a pleas
ure garden, like its predecessor in Lon
don. and to write failure against the
most recent of international shows.
The Vienna experience has many In
