Rook Printing In china.

The process of printing book in Chi
ma is somewhat as follows: Two pages
are written by person, trained to the
business, on sheet of thin paper divi-
ded into columns by black lines, and in
the place between the two pages are
written the title of the work, and the
number of the chapter and page; when
the sheet has been printed, it is folded
down through this space, so as to bring
the title &c, partly on each page. The
sheet when ready for printing, is pasted
face downward on a smooth block of
wood, usually from the pear or plum tree.
AS soon as it is dry, the paper is rubbed
off with great care, leaving behind an
inverted impression of the characters.
Another workman now cuts away all the
blank spaces by means of a sharp gra-
yer, and the block, with the characters
in high relief, passes to the printer, who
perform his work by hand. The two
points that he has to be most careful
about are--to ink the characters equally
with his brush, and to avoid tearing the
paper when taking the impression.
Proclamations, visiting cards a., are
all printed in the same manner. An
economical, way Of printing small hand
bills and advertisements for walls is to
cut the characters in wax instead of
wood; but they soon get blurred, and
the printing from them is almost illegi-
BILE. From good wooden block some
$4,000 sheets can BIT printed, and when
the characters have been sharpened up
little, it is possible to obtain 5000 Oh
10000 more impressions.

Fawcleaux, gioomily ''since l see now,

"YOu see was right about it," added
Pourarre Steele, as dejectedly.
"By'r Lady, an knew not that the

drawing himself up hautily. What

The maiden had caught the reproach-
ful eye of her former wooer, Pourarre,
and looked piteously to the ground.

Mr.. Moblyay saw at once that he had

''See here, noaw, neighbor," said he
to the aged Cassie Morgigee, "what
meut be this here debt o. yourn' to the
Hon'bl Mr.. Lee, aforesaid?"
'Its for a job of whitewashing done

sadly; "and amounts to fifty"

A DANBURY man is the unenvied pos
SCISSOR of dog that is a terror to the
neighbors, purely by its swapping and
snaring propenslties. He sn lps at every

the flavor of everybody up that way.
1t is estimated that he has cloth enough
in him to make a pair of brooches for

horse-radish and cayenne pepper, and

drew the stick away so sharply, that it
left all the contents in the animals
mouth, and the animal chewed away OH
it in awful exultation for an instant.
Then it commenced to stare, and then
spit, and howl, and weep, and paw, and
roll over, and finally run under the barn,
where it remained in religious seclusion

How Bosr0N MEN uhI y DRINK
The Boston Herald says: now that the
prohibitory law is being so Thoroughly
enforced, of course all "open bars are
closed but, by ''ways that are dark and
tricks that are vain," suthing to drink"
is obtained by ye thirsty ones. The
latest lodges are practiced by patrons of
one of the theatres, who go out between
the acts. Going into store not far off
they step into the rear part, where they
have lunch baskets containing tumbler
and flask of wine, whisky, beer, or
whatever chances to be their favorite
beverage. After taking ''smile" they
return to the theatre, while one Of the
clerks rinses the tumhler. When
the flask becomes empty II is IN some

The dan with the Memorandum.

The Hannibal, (Mo.O Courier relates
that gentleman who resides n few
miles in the country announced his in
tention of coming to the city to get
few Of the necessaries of life. His good
wife, who evidently reads the papers
and knows what is going on, furnished
her "old man" with the following
memorandum, recognizing the fact that
these men are so stupid" and always
forget what they are sent after. But
here is the seasonable list of necessa-
ries, which, though not in strictly
clerkly form, is nevertheless to the
point, and well calculated to make an
impression on the mind: "Get
pound of tea. And don't forget to go
to Browns drug store and get eight
pounds of copperas and pint of car
bolic acid. Get dollars worth of loaf
sugar Bring a dozen lemons. If You
have chance, you had better bring n
bushel of lime. We ought to have
pound or ground mustard and some
ginger. Get a gallon of coal oil and
demiiohn of whisky. Be particular and
don't get them mixed-have the coal oil
put in the can and the whisky in the
demijohn. If you see nice piece of
calico, You might bring me enough for
wrapper. Go to Orynskis and get
bottle of blackberry syrup. The flour
is out. BE careful and don't drink any
well water while IN town. Be sure and
get bottle of Hamlin's cholera cure.
We ought to have half dozen knives
and forks for the kitchen. Go to Nc
Cleary's and get u bottle of Dr. Nc
Cabe's blackberry brandy. Don't bring
anything green home to make the chill
dren sick. Don't forget the coal oil
and the demiiohn, and be sure to keep
them separate. Go to Cheever's and get
bottle of syrup of black berry and GIN
ger. Get pint of cognac brandy. Keep
away from them nasty ponds unless they
are filled up If you see any good dis
infectant bring some home. Get few
pounds of crackers and rice, and some
cat meal. If you see the doctor ask
him to give you a prescription to cure
the cholera. Be careful and don't break
the demijohn. Johnny needs pair of
shoes. You had better call at the drug
stores and see who has got the best
cholera medicine. Now don't forget
any of these things, and keep the list in
your hat where you can find it. Come
home early" About four o'clock yes
terday afternoon the man with the
memorandum might have been seen GO
ing out Broadway with all his horse
could draw, his rockaway resembling
the hospital train of an army corps. If
| the cholera ever goes out III that
direction it will meet with warm re-
! ception.

William and Plus

The full text of the recent CORE
spondence between the Pope md the EN-
peror of Germany is furnished by the
cable. His Holiness refers % the meas
ures hostile to the Catholic shurch that
have been adopted by the Grman Gov
eminent, and, after statingthat he has
been advised that the Empeor did not
approve of them, asks, in substance,
why then did he permit them The En-
peror, in reply, repudiates he idea that
any measures could be adoted by the
the Government of which lie does not
approve, and proceeds to defend the
acts referred to on the grouid that some
of the Catholics in his dominion, under
the leadership of their priets, had or
ganized party inimical AM dangerous
to the State. Plus having tated in his
letter that oil persons VIII, have been
baptized are in some way stbject to the
Pope, Frederick William ltoutly pro-
tests against any such doctrine. Indeed,
the letter of the German Emperor is
characterized by considerable tartness
throughout.

Ali resigned himself, and, TO console
him, Karam- Bou-Ladj covered him with
honors and wealth.
For some time Ali remained in high
favor, and the Sultan did not greatly
torment him. But very soon the
caprices of the Prince returned, and
every day of his life fresh difficulties
were imposed upon HIM, accompanied
by the threat of losing his head if he
failed to unravel them.
Poor Ali, necessarily menaced, no
longer really lived he tasted no JOY
life became disgusting to him.
Karam-Bou-Ladi once week took an
official bath in an old bathing-room of
the palace. There, surrounded by the
dignitaries of his court, he performed
his grand additions on Friday, the Sab
bath of the Mussulmans, before visiting
the mosque.
One day, when he had threatened Ali
on account of some riddle, he forced
him to come and assist mt the usual
ceremony.
you know" said Karam- Bou- Ladj,
Z" if before leave the bath you have
not OWNED, your head shall come off. "
Exasperated by so much cruelty, Ali,
who had given up hopes of life, rushed
on the Sultan and gave him q couple of
blows on the face. Then he decamped.
As will be surmised, the enraged Sui
tan pursued him, followed by all the
grandees of his court i'll their bathing
dresses.
Scarcely had he issued from the
doorway when the roof of the room fell
in, crushing some lingering servants.
Miracle of Allah |" exclaimed Ka-
ram Bou-Ladj, at the sight of the catas-
trophe. "Come to my arms, O Ali !!
You are the greatest magician in the
world, and the most adroit of servants.
Certainly could not have escaped the
danger without your act of violence,
which made me pursue you. You have
saved my life. BY Mahomet L swear
this day to grant all that you ask ~
A." Highness," said Ali, "the only re-
compense 1 ask is the favor of being no
longer your soothsayer."
Karam-Bou-Ladj made some demur,
but, having sworn, by the name of the
prophet, he granted the petition of
Ali.
From that day Ali, loaded with riches
and honors, was the happiest man in
Samarcand.
The post of Grand Soothsayer at the
court of the Sultan Karam- Bou- Ladl
is still vacant, and L advise thereof any
of my readers who may be tempted to
choose a career so exciting. - Translated

Value Of a Tricky Horse.

The Christiansburg VA Messenger
notes that horse which was stolen
from the Rev. Mr.. Leslie a few weeks
ago had been taught to extend its front
foot whenever asked by any one stand
ing near its head. The thief was ig-
norant of this, as he was of the neigh
borhood through Which he was travel
ing. Fortunate for Mr.. Leslie, every
boy along the road knew the horse be-
cause of the foot-lifting. The thief
stopped at n farmhouse in West Vir-
ginia, where the Rev. Mr. Leslie had
frequently spent the night, and asked
for dinner. The little boy who rode
the horse to the stable recognized the
horse as Mr.. Leslie's, and to confirm it
asked for the foot, which proved the
matter. He ran to the house and told
his father, who at once commenced cate
chising the stranger, which resulted in
his arrest and Imprisonment and the re-
covery of the horse.

Result Of an Election Joke.

At charter election in Oil City, Pa. :,
some time ago, the Democrats thought
that it would be immensely funny to
elect negro Alderman. Accordingly,
they found one named Miles Green, and
voted for him so generally that he was
elected by large majority. Now,
there is singular provision in the char
ter of Oil City, Pa, to the effect that
in the case of vacancy in the office of
Mayor, the member of the Common
Council who received the largest num-
Der of votes on the popular election
shall be acting Mayor. At the recent
election the Mayor of that city was
chosen County Treasurer, and he re-
