The Number of Type In u Newspaper.

The Poughkeepsie Eagle, In an arti-
Gle on GLOW mistakes happen in news
papers liguresu up the Der of types
used in newspaper the size of the Ea-
gle ut six hundred thousand, the actual
number of bits Of metal arranged and
rearranged every day in preparing u
newspaper the size of the Eagle for the
press. We suppose few people think
of the printing trade as the most exact
and particular business, but il is. In
making type, variations that might be
allowed in the machinery of the finest
watch would render the type useless.
1t is very rarely that type furnished by
two separate foundries can be used to-
gether without good deal of trouble,
though they try to make 1t after the
same standard. We read once in n
while of a wonderful piece OF cabinet
work or mosaic work, containing ten,
twenty or fifty thousand pieces, the
maker of which has spent months or
even years of labor in producing 1t, and
people so to see 1t as a great curiosity,
but the most elaborate and carefully
fitted piece OF work of this kind ever
made does not compare with that which
the printer does every day. The man
who does the first is looked upon rs an
artist,'a marvel of skin, and if hun
dred of his pieces are put in wrong side
up, or turned the wrong way, it Is not
observed in the general effect, but IL
the printer, in fitting ten times as
many pieces together in the same day,
puts one where another should be, or
turns one the wrong way, everybody
sees II, and is amazed at "the stupid
carelessness of those stupid printers.n

Cotton asa Rome of Contention.

The New York Evening Post devotes
u column to describing the fight be-
tween the bulls and bears of the cotton
exchange of that city. One party, ac-
ccrding to the Post, is systematically
endeavoring to lower, and the other to
raise the price of cotton. The Post
says the bears have succeeded in bring
ing the price of middling cotton down
from Ice in May TO the present price
of l6gc. They assert that the supply is
Ia excess OF the demand; that manu-
facturers are crippled, cotton goods low
aud likely to fall further, and conse-
quently cotton has been too high.
The bulls say that "the coming crop
will be short of that of the last two
years; the amount of land planted
with cotton. rs officially reported, Is
lessthan last year by ten per centum
the use of fertilizers has been very
small, and the operations of boil
worms, army worms, floods and early
frosts will reduce the yield; the less
number of acres planted this year will
reduce the amount of the crop by half
a million of bales that the entire
stock Of cotton now on hand through
out the world Is only very little In
excess OF the total amount held last
year Mt this time, when middling cot
ton was selling at twenty-one cents

up the bulk ofthe stock held In Liver

what Others Think Of w.

Our trip TO Fort Worth as II delegate
TO the convention, which assembled
there on the Goth of last month, was
attended with much pleasure notwith-
standing the heat and dust We started
one day ahead Of the delegation from
this county, in order to spend n day In
Dallas.
We had heard much of the rapid
growth of Dallas, but were not pre-
pared for the many evidences of sub
stantlal prosperity there to be seen.
Two years ago Dallas was quite II small
place, though busy and bustling with
railroad excitement. A wonderful
change has been wrought in two years,
and from u small railroad town Dallas
has grown to be u well built and thriv-
Ing business center,
The completion OF the Texas and Pa
cilic road TO that point, gave its bust
ness men competing lines OF railroad
to st. Louis, Cnicago and Galveston,
and rs natural consequence cheap
freight, giving them great advantage
over merchants OF neighbOring towns.
Capital has been attracted by these adj
vantages, and Dallas has built up with
Il rapidity heretofore unknown in Tex
rs. A view Of the city from the dome
of the magnificent court house recent
~ flushed, reveals solid blocks of sub
stnntial brick houses along its two
principal streets, Main and Elm, for
moro than Il half mile In the direction
Of the depot, and many good blocks on
other streets. The city stretches u
long way out, across and up and down
the railroad, and many of the side
streets are well builtup with handsome
residences. On every hand may be
seen large brick houses in course of
constru, ton, and although everybody
complains of n scarcity OF money the
building goes steadily ahead.
That the property holders havegreat
faith in the future of their young city
is evidenced by the fact that they are
borrowing money ut two and three
per cent per month, and putting 1t in
to brick and mortar.
Ofnll the enterprises in Dallas, there
Is nothing TO which the city owes so
much of its prosperity rs The DAILY
HERALD. II has labored faithfully for
the interests of Dallas, and in building
up the city has made for itself the rep
utation of being one of the foremost
newspapers in the state. We made
the acquaintance of Colonel MclIure,
the editor and j. n. Bartholow, the
lively local of the HERALD and passed
an hour pleasantly at the office, Colo
mel Mcl4ure is determined to keep the
HERALD fully up to its old standard,
and has In Mr.. Bartholow one of the
spiciest itemizers in the state Sher-
man Register.

Tar ami Feathers.

BosToN, August "A special dis
patch from Oak Bluffs to the Advertiser
says; "For some weeks there has been
good deal of scandal in connection
With MIR. Ninson, of Edgerton, and 5.
X. Elliott, or Worcester who have
occupied y cottage In company with
two married women belonging to Ed
gcrton. These men have been threat
ened with coat of tar and feathers,
and Vinson, fearing trouble, left some
weeks ago. Last night party Of men
went to the cottage and called out Eli
OFT, and, after considerable struggle,
forced him Into II wagon, In which was
II pot Of tar and Il bag Of feathers,
Elliott drew a revolver and fred twice,
the second shot killing Caleb Smith, n
brother of the two women. The reports
of the pistol frightened the hose,
which ran away and threw the whole
party from the wagon, and Elliott es-
capped and surrendered himself to the
authorities. Intense excitement pre-
walls in consequence Of the affair.

only to look upon the CHASTITY frag-
ments of Il reputation which was the
greatest OF all--t0rn 10 pieces by his
own friend whom, in turn, he has
ground into dust under his heavy heel,
Mr. Sumner died under the condemns
ton of his party, having lived the last
two years Of his life under the c0nden-
nation ofhls own state. Fremont lives
under the ban of outlawry Of French
court before which he refuses to appear
to answer charges of fraud. So much
for the tragic fate Of the antl-slavery
leaders.

nThe Folly Of the south"
40 the editor Of the EyenIng Telograph /.

To the Editor OF the Evening Telegraph:
In your issue of yesterday you copy
an article from the Chicago Inter-
Ocean, headed "rhe Folly OF the
South" IN which, amongst other in
stances of "folly," il Ia charged that
the people of Texas are inimical to
northern emigrants to that state. The
sole evidence upon which this charge
Is based is the alleged case OF a young
man from the north who, having OBJ
tanned situation ina dry goods store
ain an interior town. was afterwards
discharged, solely on account Of the
place of his nativity. Neither the
name of this alleged victim Of local
prejudice, or of the offending "interior
town. was mentioned, which, TO the
mind of an impartial reader is we'll
calculated to throw doubt OH the whole
story. That II IL a pure fabrication,
either OF his informant or of the editor
himself, Is very evident, since II Is abb
solutely untrue that there Is any such
feeling In any part of Texas towards
northern people emigrating to that
state for the purpose of pursuing any
honest business. In common with
other southern states, Texas, forseveral
years after the war, was Infested with
