ThePrinting-O Office Bore.

There may be greater bore than the
man who rushes into an EDITORS sanctum,
plumps himself down in the easiest
chair, puts his feet ON the desk, uses the
scissors to cut his nails, tosses the ex-
changes about promiscuously, borrows
your toothpick and handkerchief, looks
over the proofs and copy, reads your
private correspondence, and whistles
through it all, eff ever I cease to love .
but we have yet to meet him. Having
been born at very early period of our
existence, we can stand everything but
the whistling, for there is no other thing
on the face of the globe, in the heavens
above, or the waters beneath it, that is
SO much out of place as a whistler in a
printing Office. Scat

Life in Egypt.

The people Of Egypt, correspondent
says, do not take any more kindly to the
taxes than to the conscription. At Asso-
wan saw several men in irons in prison
whose offense was that their brothershad
been conscripted and run away; these
were to be held till the deserters return
ed. saw at the same Jail over forty
men confined for not paying the taxes.
The taxes are enormous, and down in
Soudan hear they are more onerous
than in Egypt. The collectors make
raids upon the villages, and sometimes
parents sell their children for money to
pay the tax. Land is taxed in Egypt at
from one pound and half to three
pounds per acre. In the Delta, say the
friends of the Khedive, this is not ex-
cessive, since the canals and improve
ments have increased the productive
power of the land, and an acre, giving
them three crops year, brings to the
owner or lessee five or six pounds. But
the best land in Egypt is in the hands of
the government, and from third to q
half of the whole of it, good and bad.
The governments is indeed rapidly acquir-
ing all the land; the same process is going
on that Joseph ;shrewdly managed for
Pharoah when he squeezed the land out
of the possession of the owners in return
for the grain doled out to them in the
years of famine. Egypt seems to be all
the time undergoing this operation. Up
the river every palm tree is taxed, the
tax having been doubled within few
years, and the same is true of every
sal1iyah, or wheel for raising water. /
saw many fields that were said to be un-
cultivated by reason of the heavy tax.
The Khedive of Egypt is the great
merchant, trader, manufacturer, ana
farmer of the country. He is certainly
doing a great deal for the material de-
velopment of the country. 1t is said on
the one hand that the people are so inert
and stupid that they will not aid him
will not take to new methods of i'm
provements; and on the other, that all
private enterprise is impossible; for it is
bad policy for any one to be known to
make money or to have money. Some
pretext would be found of squeezing it
out of him.
The Khedive has sixteen sugar facto-
ries, some of them very large, and with
all the improved machinery. have
seen those that could not have cost to fiji
up less than 81, 100000. He owns the
rich lands about them; he impresses Ia
borers, men and boys, for them, who are
paid, was told, from seven to ten cents
a day, with an allowance of bread. And
yet these sugar mills, with perhaps one
exception, do not pay; and one reason
for this is the impossibility of finding
natives intelligent enough to carry them
on. Foreigners are employed at i'm
mense wages, and there is loss and waste
in every department.

An; Enterprising Landlord.

The Troy Times says thata Fort Plain
tavern keeper, Michael Calvin, who is
but half witted, hired loafer named
Bush to hang him the other day. They
repaired to an adjacent barn, when the
landlord offered Bush $25 to procure a
rope, which was soon at hand. The land
lord then getting upon keg or barrel
offered his hang1pan So to place the rope
over beam above them, and place the
moose over his (the landlord's) head.
This wish was readily complied with by
Bush, whereupon Calvin offered the ex-
ecutioner IS additional to kick the barrel
or keg f.om under him and then ma
nipulate, the rope. The next mement
Calvin was hanging by the neck, and
BusJ4, stupid with drink, evidently en-
Joyed the scene. A neighboring black
smith discovered the state of affairs in
the barn and .hasteAed to cut the sus-
pended landlord down and save his life.

-.- A Blunder.

A. ludicrons blunder was made by the
foreman ola certain Illinois newpaper OF
recent date. II seems that the issue was
to contain an advertisement Of a medical
work. The "ad" began with the follow
ing line in large type:
THE GREAT CAUSE OF HUMAN MISERY,
which should have been followed by an
illustration of the medical work whose
merits were set forth beneath, BY some
mistake, however, cut of popular
dictionary appeared in place OF the
proper illustration, and was perhaps
suggestive to defeated "spellers."

Yeneering.

For some time sheets of veneer have
been produced so large and thin that
they can be used in place of wall paper,
by simply being glued against the wall
In order to make them, round log, two
or three feet long, is placed in lathe
and slowly revolved, while sharp knife
of the length of the log is so placed and
firmly supported as to act like plane,
cutting thin film from the circumfer-
ence of the log, which film rolls up at
the same time it leaves the knife. In
this way veneers of mahogany, black
walnut, etc, have been made and applied
to walls, giving the rooms an appearance
far superior in solidity to papered walls,
especially when, by the application of
proper machines, large surfaces are sub
divided into divers panels.

The Got0S gives some interesting sta
tistics on minerals and mining in Russia,
and according to this authority the State
foundries smelted 20, 400 tons of bronze,
$500 tons Of iron, and only seventeen
tons of steel during 1874; 1900 tons
weight of articles in bronze were cast,
$500 tons weight of ammunition, $50
tons weight of steel cannon and $50 tons
of iron cannon. Lead and zinc were
smelted in the quantities of $50 and ITO
tons respectively. One hundred and
thirty tons of iron articles, ITO tons of
sheet iron, and 91, 900 worth of iron for
shipbuilding purposes were also made,
besides 46, 700 side arms, 10000 blades
and 5,725 gun barrels. The production
of the private smelling establishments is
estimated at, in the Ural district, 220, 900
tons of bronze, IL, 900 tons of iron, ], ,150
tons of steel and 1,700 tons of copper;
in the Moscow district, $4,000 tons of
bronze and so, 500 tons of iron. South
Russian produce is estimated at 7,1OO
tons of bronze and 1890 tons of iron
that of the Polish provinces at $4,000
tons of bronze, 5000 tons of iron and
1900 tons of zinc; and, lastly, the Cau-
casus figures during the corresponding
period have been 73O tons of copper.
Gold to the amount of thirty-one tons
has been extracted during 1874, exclud-
ing the Altai and Nerchinsk districts,
which yield yearly average of three
tens. The total amount of coal and
anthracite in 1874 is given at 100000

A Word In Season.

Let every young man whose appetite
for drink is consciously growing, but
whose conscience is not yet scared by
confirmed habit, adopt the plan of max
ing an accurate note of how he feels in
the morning after drinking too much the
night before. Let him analyze as near
ly in detail as he can his thoughts and
reflections when he first wakes up, and
put down in black and white q plain,
truthful description of them. I do not
refer to the sense of physical pain or dis
comfort which always follows debauch,
but to his moral conditions in the early
morning, and in the absence of the facti.
tious excitement of conviviality. Let
this be done conscientiously, and let the
young man read over his own words
carefully, and endeavor to thoroughly
realize what he has described on paper,
every time he thinks of taking a drink,
and believe that most young men con.
trollea by principle, actuated by desire
to do right, and struggle against the in
herent weakness of human nature, would
in short time come to the conclusion
that the "game is not worth the can
de-" and in many cases eventually give
up the desire to indulge in so treach.

so dangerous and false means of ex-
cltement.

The world owes all its onward inn

ancient limits.
This I quarreled at, that he went far
from his text to come close to me, and so
was faulty himself in telling me of my

Lord Bacon has compared those who

the beholder by its splendor, but oP-
presses its wearer by its weight.
Shame is a great restraint upon sin!

when men have once lost their innocence,
their modesty is not likely to be long
troublesome to them. For impudence

it. Lesser vices do net Danish all shame
and modesty; but great and abominable
crimes harden mems foreheads, and
make them shameless. t"

A Word of Truth.

In censuring women's extravaganza in
dress, men ought to share some of the
blame of excess and prodigality. Women
dress to please men. They will wear
simple material and styles when men ad-
mire these things. AS it is, costly and
elaborate garments, ornaments in trim
mings and toilets, the very height and
extreme of fashion, attract even some of
the masculine preachers of simplicity
and plainness. Plain Jane, even though
gifted in mind, and by no means uncouth
in face and person, is not the idol of the
other sex, but .'stunning" Maud, who
in gorgeous attire sparkles in the ball
room, at the opera, yes, and even in
the places of public worship, where the
"pomps and vaDities" of the world are
professedly renounced. Let us, if we
propose to talk about extravaganza, not
lecture. to woman as the "sinner in
chief, but consider if man may not rea-
sonably be reproved, as well. Perhaps,
( too, there is taste of "sour grapes "
favoring the criticism of some who
preach on theme such as we have re-
ferred to.

A Bad State of Affairs.

fore the royal commission on labor
laws, lately printed, points to remark
able state of affairs in that city, resem-
bling the state of affairs in some dis
tricts in Ireland. Mr.. Johnson, it ap-
pears, is the only builder in Manchester
who makes bricks by machinery, and,
therefore, he has incurred the severe
displeasure of the brickmakers' union,
which has not allowed him to have any
handmade bricks in the neighborhood
of Manchester for five years. For that
period also he has not been allowed to
sell brick. "Any one," he says, "who
has bought my bricks has had his
premises burnt down; my own house
has been nearly blown up" His yard:
also has been burned down. At the
time of giving his evidence, namely on
the 23d of November last, he was living
under the protection of the police, who
were guarding his premises. You

That tell him he is loved at home.
