Number OfTypes in a Newspaper.

The Poughkeepsie Eagle in an ar
ticle on chow mistakes happen in
newspapers figures up the number
of types used in a newspaper the
size Of the Eagle at 100000, 1. e., the
number of bits of metal arranged
and re-arranged every day in prepar-
ing a newspaper of that size for the
press. We suppose few people
ohink Of the printing trade as one of
Tire most exacting and particular of
all the handicrafts, but it is. In
making type, variations that might
be allowed in the finest machinery
would render the type useless. 1t
is very rarely that type furnished by
two separate fOundries can be used
together without q great deal of
trouble, though they try to make it
after the same standard. We read
once in while of a wonderful piece
Ofcabinet work or MOSAIC work, cons
tanning ten, twenty, or fifty thousand
pieces, the maker of which has spent
months, or even years of labor in
producing it, and people go to see
it as great curiosity, but the most
elaborate and carefully fitted piece
Of work of this kind ever made does
not compare with lthat which the
printer does every day, for minute
ness OF detail and accuracy Of fitting.
The man who does the first is looked
upon as an artist-a marvel of skill,
and if a hundred of his pieces are
put in wrong side up or turned the
wrong way, it is not observed in the
general effect-but if the printer, in
fitting ten times as many pieces to-
gether in a single day, puts one
where another should be, or turns
one the wrong way, everybody sees
it, and is amazed at "the stupid
careIe ssness of those printers

A good story, and all the better in being
true, is told of one of our citizens, who let
a piece of ground to a man ON shares. The
man would hire the lot, but the owner,
doubtful of getting any money from the
tenant, proposed to let it upon the promise
Of receiving half the products. Occasional
ly during the summer he passed the spot,
and was pleased with the cultivation it was
receiving, and with its goodly show of veg
etables. Harvest time came and passed,
and he heard nothing of his tenant, till, in
response to a hint, the latter sent to him
one water melon and three shriveled cucum-
bers. Indignant at this shabby treatment,
he called upon the man, and asked him
what it meant. "Why, you see, squire, +"
replied the tenant, Z" the pesky boys stole
all your half, but the melon and cucum-
bers."

"Well, here is a debt you owe me you

"My dear Miss Dorr," said the banker,

And, drawing check for the amount, he
called a messenger, and bade him go to the
bank and get ten thousand dollar notes.
After the messenger had departed on his
errand, Pennywise turned to the governess
and said:
"How did my son bear the news that
Miss Petersham was false to him? Thank
heaven, my family will not be disgraced."
When he first discovered that Miss p,

"No, he is here now. see you want

room and placed the money safely in her

Teaching Little Girls 10 Sew.


Elinor Brooks says: There is no better
way for children to learn to sew than for
them to practice on dolls clothes. When
given free range in that line, the variety Of
dresses and other garments that one little
girl will invent and manufacture is really
astonishing, and the enjoyment she finds
in her work is not among the least of the
benefits she receives. Continuity, ideality,
constructiveness, imitation, form, color,
philoprogenitiveness and what other Or
gans would not phrenologist find de-
veloping in small head at work over a
doll.
Many mother of the present day owes
her deftness in cutting and fitting gar
ments to the apprenticeship she served
among her rag babies. Most of their
daughters, having had no such practice
will, as later years with their cares and
duties come to them, sadly miss the expe-
rience they would have gained in. the same
manner.

The Dry One.

Dickens tells the following story of an
American sea captain On his last voyage
home the captain had on board a young
lady of remarkable personal attractions-a
phrase use as one being entirely new, and
one you never met with in the newspapers.
This young lady was beloved intensely by
five young gentlemen passengers, and in
return she was in love with them all very
ardently, but without any particular pref
erence for either. Not knowing how to
make up her determination in this dilemma
she consulted my friend the captain. The
captain being man Of an original turn of
mind, says to the young lady, "Jump
overheard and marry the man that jumps
after you" The young lady, struck with
the idea, and being naturally fond of bath
ing, especially in warm weather, as it then
was, took the advice of the captain, who
had boat manned in case of accident.
Accordingly, next morning, the five lovers
being on deck, and looking devotedly at
the young lady, she plunged into the sea,
head foremost. Four Of the lovers imme-
diately jumped in after her. When the
young lady and her four lovers were got
out again, she says to the captain, "What
am to do with them now, they are so
wet?' Says the captain, "Take the dry
oneW And the young lady did, and she
married him.

A Melancholy Statement.

Taking this text the London Spectator,
in recent and very suggestive article,
shows that the wages of generally educated
men who have not added to their general
education any special education-men, in
short, who know how to do what colleges
teach them to do and nothing more-are
less than the average of handicraftsmen,
and are rapidly becoming less than the
wages of hodcarriers, whose work requires
no training at all but only brute strength
and endurance. In this country, from the
more general diffusion Of education, the
case is even stronger, and tends to become
stronger with every fresh accession of raw
recruits to the industrial army which each
commencement brings. This is not very
cheering reflection for the commencement
season, but it seems to us a very needful
one and one particularly worth pondering
by the instructors Of youth.

0B Recently, near Germantown, wo-
man was scooped up by the cow-catcher of
locomotive. The train could not be stop
ped until it had run half mile. The woman
was unhurt. When the story of her escape
was told to her husband, he said sadly {:
"Well, I'll be darned if wimmen amt hard
to kill. There was my finest durham. He
got on the track and the locomotive struck
him and there wasn't enough life left in
him to supply animation to fly. And my
horse ran away with the gig, and the train
came along, and hit him and it, and the
horse was killed, and there wasn't piece
of the gig left big enough to make plug
for the spigget-hole of a barrel. Now that
wife of mine is Of no account, and she es-
capes. It's always the same. If you have
two eggs in yonr hand, and one is bad and
the other is good, and you let them drop,
it's invariably the good one that breaks"
And he looked sad, and turned his chaw of
tobacco in his mouth, and cogitated on the
strange Inconsistencies Of accidents.

GB- Bob Toombs' friendly call on the
President few weeks ago, is thus ex-

call on Grant at all, as he wasn't a citizen
of this country, for Bob is the only known
remaining citizen of the southern confeder-
acy besides Jeff Davis. Afterward, how
ever, he remarked to his friend, as they
were driving around Washington: ''Perry,
if were to go to foreign country I'd
surely, if practicable, pay my respects to
the potentate of that country" "Why
not, then go to see your President?" They
went in at particularly busy time, but
Grant said he'd see such visitor at once.
When they entered, Toombs frankly
"allowed - 81 am not citizen of this
country, General Grant, but being in town

the ruler of this nation. "Oh never mind
about that, General Toombs," answered

lasted nearly two hours, and was oharac-
terized by the greatest jollity imaginable.

t8- The school in Brooklyn that lately
presented its pastor on his birthday with
beautiful basket Of flowers, and included
among them that rare specimen known as
a hundred dollar check, was doubtless as
happy in giving it as he was surprised to
receive it. Could this hOme-like little
ceremony have taken place unless the
school felt at home with its pastor9 1t is
not the gift, but the feeling that did or
ought to have prompted it, that happens
to men much here, and the incident is re-
ferred to as showing what power cheer
full, active minister can become among the
children if he takes their interests to heart,
and goes into the Sunday-school with
them. 1t is not absolutely necessary for
scholars to express their affection for their
pastor with valuable flowers, but perhaps
it is necessary for the pastor to mako him.
