was burned this morning, Just after the opera
tives had gone to work.
A fearful loss of life is reported.
Nothing further is learned since the above was

LATER REPoRT-A FEARFUL SITUATION.
NEw YORK, Sept. 10.
Later reports from Fall River say that the fire
WAS confined to the Granite Mill, which is total

THE NUMBER OF TYPE IN A NEWS.
PAPER The Poughkeepsie Eagle, in
an article on "how mistakes will hap
pen in newspaper" figures up the
type used in newspaper of the size
Of the EayIc at GOO,oO0, that is, the
actual number of bits of metal ar
ranged and re arranged every day in
preparing a newspaper of that size
tor the press. We suppose few peo-
pie think of the printing trade as one
of the most eyac. and PAL ticular Of all
the handicrafts, but it is. In making
type, variations that might be allowed
in the finest machinery would render
the types useless. 1t is very rarely
that types furnished by two separate
foundriss can be used together with
out a great deal Of trouble though
they try to make it after the same
standard. We read once in awhile ol
a wonderful piece Of cabinet work
containing ten, twenty, or nity tbOus'
and pieces, the maker Of which, has
spent months or even years of labor
in producing 1t. and people 60 to see
it as a curiosity; but the most elabo
rate and carefully fitted piece of work
of this kind ever made does not com
pare with that which the printer doer
every day, for minuteness of detail
and accuracy Of fitting. The man
who does the lirst.is looked upon n
an artist-a marvel of skill-and If q
hundred of his pieces are put in wrong

| is not observed in the general effect
but il a printer in getting ten times
as many pieces together in single
day, puts one where another should

erybody sees it, and is amazed a
"the stupid carelessness Of those prin

DR.. SLuGG's INvESTIoN.-Max Ad
eler contributes the following: A
Reading paper contains all account Of
a machine for plugging teeth, which
reminds us of the invention patented
many years ago by our old friend DR..
Slugg. 1t was tooth puller. Slugg
had an enormous business, and he
concluded to economic his strength
by pulling teeth by machinery. He
constructed q series of cranks and le-
vers, fixed to movable stand. and
operating pair of forceps by means
of a leather belt which was connected
with the engine of a planning mill next
door. The Doctor experimental with
it several times On nails firmly insert

on was Judge Mosby, who called in
to have an aching molar removed
When the forccps had been clasped
on the Judges tooth, DR. Slugg gear
ed the machine and opened the valve
We believe it was never known with
any degree of exsctness whether the
Doctor pulled the valve too far open,
or whether the planning mill was work.
ing at that moment under extrtordi-
nary pressure. But in the twinkling
of an eye Judge Mosby was pulled
out of that chair, and the movable
stand began to execute the most sur.
prising maneuvres around the room.
1t would jerk Judge Mosby high in
the air and souse him down in a most
appalling manner, with one leg among
Slugg's gouges and other instruments
of torture, and with the other in the
spittoon. Then it would rear him up
against the chandelier three or four
times, and shy across and drive the
Judges head through the oil portrait
of Slugg father, Oh the mantelpiece.
After humping him against Slugg's
ancestor, it would whirl the Judge
around among the crockery on the
wash.stand and dance him up and
down in an exciting manner over the
stove, until, finally, the defective mo.

the Mosbys hunted up new dentist,
Slugg cancelled his contract with the
man who owned the planning mill, and
began to pull teeth in the old way,
by hand. We have an impression
that Slugg's patent can be bought at
a sacrifice.

THE SONG AT TWILIGHT.

BYL. M.pAvIDsoN.
o
When evening spreads her shades around,
Aud darkness Nils the arch OF heaven;

To Fancy's sportive ear Is given;
When the broad orb of heaven Is bright,
And looks around with golden eye;
When Nature, softened by her light
Seems calmly, soleInnly 70 lie =
Then, when our thoughts are raised shove
This world, and all this world can give,
o, sister, sing the song love,
And tears Of gratitude receive.
The song which thrills my bosom's core,
And, lowering, trembes half AFRAID,
o, sister, sing the song once more,
Which ne'er for mortal ear was made.
Twere almost sacrflege 70 sing
Those notes amid the glare OF day;
Notes borne by angels purest wing,
And waited by their breath away.
When, sleeping IN NV grass-grown bed,
Shouldst thou still linger here above,
Wilt thou not knecl beside my head,
Aud, sister, sing the song love?

the business interests of the Order are
vastly and rapidly increasing. and cash
down is our principle in dealing. We
make this suggestion to you, others
have mentioned it. but you may take it
as our suggestion, that the subordinate
Oranges by some feasible plan create a
manufacturing fund, out of which prop.
er advances and payments can be made
to our manufacturers, aud with which a
reasonable stock of standard supplies
can be purchased and kept on hand by
our State agent.
Two plans have been named: one to
levy a per capita tax on the members,
of say. so cents each, which would yield
some $4,000 in the aggregate. and the
other, to invite deposits from the
Oranges, which may drawn against in
payment for supplies ordered. Either
plan seems possible, and other and bet
ter plans may be devised. Brothers,

We had an article the other day on
this subject. One Of our leading cx-
changes says
The English papers now and then
contain articles on what they call dead
meat trade of Great Britain. in which
they show. incidentally. that American
pork and beef would be much more
popular if put up in a form which suits
the prejudiees of buyers on the other
side Of the Atlantic. 1t Is not unusual
to find American middles quoted at
very little more than half the prices
paid for Irish middles in the British
markets, whether sailed or smoked. 1t
is evident from this that all our petty
diversions into Hertfordshire, Stafford
shire and Cumberland cuts, do not meet
the wants Of the trade there, while it
would also seem that it would pay our
American packers to find out the style
i'll which meats are put up in ''the old
country and adopt the same styles
for the meats that are exported. The
same remarks apply to lard, though not
so forcibly. The Britishers like to buy
their lard in bladdcrs, and will pay
enough more for it in that shane to
make ample amends for the trouble OF
putting it up in those packages, and the
little extra cost of freightage.
The remark has been made here that
it is beneath the dignity Of Americans
70 cater 10 the preJ'1dices Of Britishers,
oucn an argument is valueless in trade
whatever it may be worth in politics,
" aen man has anything to sell, it is
Tor his interest to offer it in that form
which is prefe FRED by the buyer; and
II ne ialls to do this he thereby shows
that ne doe not understand his OWL
interests. At time like this. when
Europea a buyers are holding off, it is
more nportant than usual to find out
wha' they want, and try to offer it tt
thf m. The strangest part Of the whole
latter in provisions is the fact that
there are SO many Englishmen in the
trade here, and so few Of them who
seem to be aware that provisions pack
ed in the United States only need prop
er preparation to make them saleabl'
in the British markets at the same
prices that are paid for British-curet
products.
