Hoes New Printing Press.

lLondon Correspondent New orl1 World.
Mr.. Hoe has completed a new ''perfec-
ting press" which is to "knock the spots
f. the Walter machine. The new press,
Wu-ch is now being tried and perfected

hour. The Daily Telegraph, 1 am told.
is to have the press as soon as it is per-
fected. The circulation Of the Zsleqraph
with all its faults, is really innense. Its
daily sale is never less than 17OOOO-it
hes reached on more than one accession
10000, and exen 275 900 copies; and
23O,00O is its ordinary sale during the
busy season. really don't know much
about the circulation Of journals at home,
but If am net mistaken these figures
exceed those Of any Amercau daily.-
Some very valuable improvements have
recently been made in the rapidity of the
process of stereotypiRg the plates for
newspaper presses. The Edinburgh Scots
man, which is now printed on two Walter
presses at very great speed, has It's
plates stereotyped for these presses in the
almost incredibly short time Of twelve
and half minutes for the first plate and
two minutes for the SUBSEQUENT ones
and for its Hoe presses it beats even this
time, turning out the first plate In only
eleven minutes. HrF rl

Distastssu1 to Ohio RopnbIloan..

From the Cleveland Herald adm. Rep.)
The President has appointed John A.
Blnghan of this State. Minister PIenino
tentlary 70 Japan. The active part Mr..
Bingham took in the passage of the salary
grab, and the pocketing of the back pay
by that gentleman, will make this ap-
pointment exceedingly distastefuI to the
Republicans of Ohio. No prominent man
in the State of the Republican party could
have been made the recipient of Admin
stration honors whose appointment could
have been more unsatisfactory than that
of Mr.. Bingham. He was dropped by his
district because he was not popular, and
that was before he had numbered himself
among the treasury plunderers, and be-
fore he had Iepudiated his contract with
his constituents as Representative. His
agency in the salary larceny had driven
Mr.. Bingham outside the pale of Repub-
hcan confidence in Ohio, and everywhere
else where honesty is respected, and the
course of the President in giving Mr..
Bingham this appointment, every kepub-
liean IN Ohio emphatically condemns.

Minority Representation.

In Ohio, one of the principal questions
before the Convention is that of minority
representation. A committee on appor-
tionment and representation has the mat
ter in charge, and three-quarters of the
members are in favor of the principle of
reform, bat there is some division of opin-
ion as to the particular kind of minority
representation that shall be introduced.
We hear of advocates of the cumulative
vote" and "small districts; and on the
other hand, there are the advocates of the
Gree list" and ."large districts" As to
the district question, there is really not
much room for difference-The larger the
districts, the more opportunity for COM
pact organization, purchase of votes, and
general corruption. As to the "cumula-
tive vote, it is inferior to the "free list"
IN merely securing party presentatives,
while the "free list" secures representa-
ton really individual. For instance, If
the Republican and Democratic votes in
Ohio were IN the proportion of six to four,
the cumulative vote would at its best Sc
cure legislature containing for every
four Democrats, six Republicans; the
Tree list" with some notifications which
We have here no space to 60 into) secures
not only all this, but IN addition has the
great merit of giving each voter an oppor-
tunity of registering his choice among all
the candidates, and giving this preference
weight IN the final count

ACCORDING to the statistics for. 1872.
the yalae of foreizn goods imported into
the United States, was $677, IA, ,579 in
gold. OF this immense importation about
one fifth came in as free goods, being
chiefly raw materials, entering into Amer
lean manufactures. The other four-fif
paid duties. Some of the articles outside
of the great staples of merchandise are
noteworthy. OF tea there was twenty
four and half millions worth imported I;
chemicals, eleven millions foreign fruits,
ten and half millions. and foreign wines
nine millions SIX millions IN crockery
and seven millions in glass nearly thTsa
millions IN jewelry and precious stones
q million dollars in "humsn HAIR" and a

The last thing one would imagine ca
pable of taking an epidemic form is the
rare and peculiar crime of parricide. Yet
while three weeks ago there were scarcely
any instances of it on record IN the whole
United States, there are now four recent
ones. The case OF Young Walworth,
which caused so much horror. was rapid
ly followed by that of one Swift, IN Tole-
do, Ohio, Eight days ago man named
Bieks, Of Decatur, Illinois, went home
and after abusing his mother awhile with
vile language, deliberately shot his fa-
ther. And last week, DR.. Lewis Meyer,
dentist, of Middleton, N. Y, stabbed his
father to the heart with sharp instru-
ment, of his profession.

IE card on the subject of his early
misfortunss Senator Mitchell, alias Hip
pie, of Oregon. laments the indiscretion
that caused him to change his name If
that is the worst thing he did, he may
make himself comparatively easy. Both
the President and Vice President of the
United States did the same thing. Gen
eral Grants first name was Hiram Simp-
son, we believe, according to the Ledger
biography, and was changed to u. S. at
West Point. Henry Wilson's name was
Jeremiah Colbaith, and he changed his
name for reasons that to him seemed suf-
fcient. If Mitchell is only Ripple, there
is no particular misfortune in that,

We are still collecting $l15, 100000

nearly pays the interest on the National

for collecting $4,000 1000 in gold from
customs when the expenses of running

of our high protective tariff, and the folly

WOoED THEE.
By GEO. 7. WISE
/ wooed thee when the timid spring,
To dreaming buds was whispering;
Persuading them with cautious msin,
That they unfold their charms, unseen.
/ wooed thee when the summer sun,
The hearts of all the flowers had won,
Caressed their cheeks, full fervent blown,
And kissed and called them all his own.
Iwooed thee when the autumn brown,
Had grown aHstere, with sober frown,
And ruled in moody. sullen way,
And changed their bloom to frosty gray.
Wooed thee when the wintry wind,
OF all the flowers no trace could find,
But through the tree-tops istless roamed,
And IN the meadows sadly moaned.
Oh, thee my foI0erl / Wooed in vain.
Mid Summer, Spring and Autumn's reign,
And like the Wintry wind, 1 weep
And sigh, thy love could not keep.

The cellar foundation was already laid,
and at precisely s O'Clock Friday morning
tbe men went to work. The Examiner

A MUCH AGGRIvED LApY.-A six.naoo
letter, with two-page P. S. attachment
was received at the Postoffice Department

dolorous pitch the troubles of lady in

ncient amount OF postage has been paid
one stated that some time since she be-
gan making preparations for grand in
vtation picnic, parenthetically remarking
that her picnics are always a great sue.
cess, and that having arranged prelimin-
aries, such as hiring the grounds, music,
ETC., she sent out several hundred invita-.
tions to persons in the town where she
resides. The day for the picnic rolled
round, and to her great amazement and
chagrin, none OF the invited guests put in
an appearance. She sought an explana.
tion from some of the parties, and was
informed that they had never received
any Invitations from her. Puzzled be-
yond measure, she wended her way to
the Postoffice in the town, and their
learned, to her disgust, that the Postmas.
ter had forwarded all Of her invitations to
the Dead-letter Office in Washington, be.
cause the postage had not been fully paid
by her. 1t seems that every invitation
bore one-cent instead of a two-cent
stamp, as required by law. She writes
to say that she was unaware of the fact
that two cents were necessary for a drop
letter, or she would have cheerfully paid
it, and earnestly but respectfully pro.
tests againt any such arrangement. She
thinks people would readily pay any
postage which may be due on letters
which they may receive, and in her own
case feels certain that the parties to whom
she addressed invitations would have
gladly paid three or four times two cents
postage. provided they could have an op-
portunity to enjoy her picnic
