laira upon the notice md attention Of tho public
frequent putting and b1owing,ot one'a own
trumpet being tho recognized work Of second
rate journalism but the repeated complaints
of our city subscribers, On account Of the lnte-
ness Of the hour at which TIE TRIBUNE has
been served to them during the past ai1 months,
require word Of explanation.
About one year ago, The OnroAao TR1puNE
completed an Investment OF nenrly $500, 900 in
building and machinery to take the place Of that
destroyed by the fire. We anticipated that in
time no should require still further printing
facilities to meet the growing demands OF tho
community, ndaccordingy left spaco in our COM
posing, stereotyping, and pross rooms for thoir
accommodation. Wo did not anticipate, how
ever. that they would be required 80 soon, as
We already had machinery for making from 49,
600 to 10000 impressions per hour. During
the past aix monthH, however, 1t has been
manifest to us that cur printing machin-
cry was wholly inadeq uate to meet the de-
mands Of our increasing business, Us we
found II impossible to Rervo our patrons at
aa early hn hour az they desired.
Ne accordingly determined to increase our
printing facilities by tho addition Of three new,
presses, aud in pursuance Of this plum wo havo
already placed in our preaa-room one Of tho
latest improved Bullock prlnting-machinea with
double delivery and other now inprovementB
being the beat specimen Of "porfecting" press
ever produced in this country-its capacity being
5000 Impressions per hour. Tho nocessity for
introducing this additional apparatus is shown
by tho fact that a single iasue Of The TRIBUNE,
with its supplementary Sheet requires 100000
Impressions
The TRIBUNE holds tho same relative position
hero that tho London Times does in England
aud that the Herald docs in New York. The
question whether tho New York Herald or TIE
CHICAGO TRIBUNE is entitled to precedence
in the journalism Of this country, is IN opon
one. Tho Philadelphia Press, not long since, in
discussing this point. said:

NIXON'S LAST WEEK.

and Uncertain Hope-The Friday that

Michael Nixon, lately sentenced to death for the
murder Of Charles Phyfer, will be hanged next
Friday. He is now confined in the Tombs, and
seems to have recovered from the fright which
took possession OF his soIl Immediately after the
sentence of death was pronounced upon him in
Court. A reporter Of the HERALD spoke to him yes
terday in company with Warden Johnston.
Nixon is a low-sized man, without any distnc-
tive mark OF manhood in his features. He has
black whiskers, and is dressed in of shabby
genteel suit OF black cashmere When we
approached he was sitting by the big
stove, in the corridor which runs between the
two rows Of cells. known as "Murderers' Row."
and talking to one of the Sherif's deputies,
two of whom are now guarding him con-
stantly, and will until the fatal moment
comes when he will have TO expiate mis- crime on
the galows. The hardest heart would be moved
to pity after looking at the poor wretch as he sat
by the stove, without hope, money or friends,
knowing that he has but one more Friday to live.
In speaking to the reporter he declared that he had
nothing to say, and that he did not wish to hold
conversation with any person on any matter that
might be made public through the press. The
keepers declare that his appetite and spirits have
improved, and that he seems TO be clinginG to some
delusve and uncertain hope, which Will never be
realized.

The hour OF meeting. at Plymouth Church on Fri

MIR. Beecher gave out u hymn. which the presid
ing genius at the piano endeavored to convert
from common metre to sevens, which made rather
a mixture of it. After going through one verse
Mr.. Beecner announced the mistake. and said he
guessed they would try another, but finally sue
ceeded in singing the first one.
After the other usual preliminary services, Mr..
Beecher said that nothing tended to draw men
together by their best feelings as laborng in q
common cause In which self cannot enter. 1t is
true that in society at large one may chance to
meet o very pleasant friend, but these are single
instances.
Where can you find such friendship as that of
brother and sister as where there is the spirit OF
Christi There are no enjoyments that have such
fragrance, such perpetual youth as these which
come IRON religious labor. Often people are so

they visit weekly, giving comfort and
