We Marry Too Young.

Amongst our American population
perhaps particularly the first and second
generations from emigrant parents
there appears to be very strong tenden-
cy to marry young. This very especial
ly applies to the female portion of the
community. American young men
seem infatuated about MARI, ing girls
not out of their teens. A young wo-
man of twenty-four or twenty y-ive years
Of age, in the city, is an "old maid"
Marrying young men seek a union with
children of fifteen to seventeen years OF
age-girls that ought to be in charge OF
their parents for some years to come, in
stead of becoming mothers themselves.
This infatuation results in undevelop-
ed, growing girls thus becoming young
mothers before they are fit to leave their
own mothers care. The first consequences
of this is that the Infe1st-oAsyring of a
beardless boy of eighteen or nineteen
years of age and childish girl of fifteen

See ng if the House is On Fire.

1t is very easy matter, says the Buff
falo Commercial Advertiser, for some one
member of family 10 make it rule to
examine carefully, after others have re-
tired, every place where there is a pos
sibility that fire could be ignited with
danger to the house. Five minutes
given to the examination of furnaces,
stoves, re-places and their surroundings
might be all that was necessary to pre-
vent serious and dreadful conhagration.
And the Advertiser instances the case of
housekeeper, who has been a faithful
family servant for thiry-fve years-a
long time in these days of "hired help"
This conscientious woman made it a
matter, one might almost say of religion,
to go every night, after the family had
retired, without light, from garnet to
cellar, to see if every chance of accident
from fire was removed Ridicule did
not make her swerve from this habit.
One evening, after the departure of some
guests and retiring of the family, on her
usual rounds, she found the hat-stand in
blaze. Calling the master Of the house,
with his assistance, but with no little
trouble, the flames were put out. 1t
seems that the umbrellas in the rack had
been ignited by spark from cigar held
by one of the visitors as he took his hat
from the stand. Needless to say that
the housekeeper, after recovering from
her fright, was more than ever convinced
that it did pay "to see if the house is on

A Bank Romance.

Many marvellous stories are related of
absence of mind, but an instance of OBJ
ivIousness as to ones bank account,
brought to light in New York court
recently, takes precedence in this class
of variations. P. Lorilard Ronald de-
posted some money several years ago in
the Mechanics National Bank.
"Do you know there is Sc, $50 to your
credit in the Mechanics National Bank?"
an ex-oflicial of the bank asked him not
long since.
"No," answered Ronald; "you must be
mistaken. Ny bank book was balanced
long ago"
81 am telling you the truth" contin-
ed the ex-oficial.
"WelI, it is worth looking after" re-
piled Ronald.
He did look after it. He went to the
bank, stated the case, as he alleges, and
was told it was not so. He did not give
up the here, but persisted in his deter
mination to have the affair thoroughly
inquired into, when finally the correct
ness of the statement was acknowledged
and the money paid to him. But be-
tween the deposit of the money and its
payment seven years had elapsed. A
"happy thought" struck Ronald. He
forthwith "booked it." This was to get
payment of interest for seven years on
the money. This the bank refused to
pay, and he accordingly brought suit
against the bank to compel its payment.
The case came to trial in the Superior
Court, Circuit, Part 1, before Judge
Speir. 1t took but short time to put
in the testimony for the prosecution, de-
veloping the facts related above. As
soon as the plaintiffs last witness had
left the stand motion was made on be
half of defence, to dismiss the COM
plant on the ground that acceptance of
the principal was a bar to recovery of
interest This was argued long and
learnedlv, and then Judge Speir denied
the motion, after which recess was ta-
ken. On the reassembling of the court,
counsel announced to the court that in
the interview the case had been settled
by the plaintiff agreeing to accept 81,
800. And thus ended the suit

New Mexico.

The New York Times, referring to the
bill for the admission of New Mexico
as State, remarks; The census of 1870
gives New Mexico 1854 people, but
that shows decrease of about two thous-
and within ten years, ard it is very well
known that large proportion of the
population is "Grease," or half-Breed
Mexican and Indian. Possibly there
may be in the whole Territory enough
inselligent white men to make a
decent appearance in Congress and man
the upper house of the Legislature. But
we have too much ignorant suffrage al
ready in the Union, and no one can think
OF creating a new voting element of this
character without a shudder. The peo-
pie of New Mexico are scattered over an
immense and barren area. Around
few forts and Indian agencies there clus-
ter few semi-white tribes, and some
poverty stricken towns have sprung mp
in some of the localities where springs,
grass and thickets redeem the soil from
the deseret Of mesquit bushes and cactus
that cover the face of the country. In
a recent paper in the North American
Review, General Hazen bitterly inveighs
against the farce of permitting this arid
and desolate tract any representation on
the floor of Congress, and the expensive
machinery Of a Territorial Government.
Yet it is gravely proposed to create
sovereign State out of this region, which,
if it were not for Quartermaster's dis
bursements, would tomorrow he aban-

Setting by Machinery.

The United States Type Setting Ma
chine Company has just completed its
perfected composing machine, which is,
without doubt, destined to work a COM
plete revolution in the matter of setting
type The new machine throws a COM
plete font of type, lower case and capi-
tails, dashes, commas, periods, spaces and
numerals The piano keyboard is ad-
hered to. Above the inger-board is the
case with the particular font of type to
be used. The type is laid in long tubes,
which are set in the rack at an easy
slant, each tube corresponding to box
in an ordinary case. At the back of
this case is an inclined plane, likewise
furnished with grooves that converge to
a single one. Connected with them Is
the justifying stand, about four feet in
length, which in turn adjoins the galley.
Type may be set by any person capa-
BILE reading manuscript or reprint. The
operator is seated before the finger
board, with the copy on the rack. On
touching key marked with the requir-
ed letter, lever knocks ont the bottom
type, and which with lightning rapidity
tax es its place on the "stieaz." 1t is ev-
ident that type can be set as fast as the
eye can read and the fingers play.
The justiier is seated by the galley,
and with rule in hand lays off the long
row of type for proving, according to
the desired measure If a practical
printer, the operator can readily para
graph and justify while measuring of,
so that the first proof is sure to exhibit
remarkable cleanliness.
For distribution the type is laid on
the distributor, a separate machine,
where it is distributed by one of the
simplest and yet most beautiful pieces Of
mechanism ever seen. The celerity
with which type can be set depends very
greatly upon the operator. The aver
age would be 5000 ems per hour. With
this machine any person who can read
the copy can set type, and this will be
one of the greatest advantages. 1t will
open up a new field of labor for women,
and will greatly rduce the cost of the
composition. The cost of the machine
will not exceed $500, and its value can
be saved in very short time by its use
in a printing Office.
The machine was perfected at the
works of the Towle Manufacturing
Company in Courtlandt street, construc-
tors of electrical machinery, who de-
serve much credit for the manner in
which they have turned out the pioneer.
The machine was constructed under The
superintendence of Mr.. Isadore Del
cambre, the inventor, and Mr.. John B.
Benton, Superintendent of the works.
This latest achievement of brains will
be on exhibition during the week at No.
2 Broad street, corner of Wall, where it
can be tested, and doubters in the abili-
ty of any machine to set type fast and
we'll, convinced that it can discount hui
man fingers.
