AN invention has been successfully ap-
piled in Liverpool to the printing ma
chine, by means of which newspapers
may be printed upon an unbroken roll
of paper without the necessity of prcvi-
ously stereotyping the pages and mould
ing them to the shape Of the cylinders to
which they are affixed The details Of
the process have not been communicated
further than that the type itself is fixed
on the cylinder referred to, but, with
the exception that it has been yet found
impracticable to apply the automatic
folding process to the machine, the plan
is fully successful. The advantage of
the invention is that while giving the
highest rate of speed, it will save the cost
of stereotyping, which, except in case of
very large impressions, is otherwise I'M
necessary.

THH deposits of bullion in the great

now rise to about $3.50, 100000 and the
difficulty of investing capital safely has

du.ccd to about $l5O,OOO,0OO. The Lon

gin to feel tho effects of the depreciation
in the capacity to buy, resulting from so
large default, and mourns anew that
English buyers "could not be persuaded
to touch United States bonds, ten years

A MEXICAN who claimed to be a
snake charmcr recently attempted the
capture of large rattlcsnake near Cor
pus Christi, Texas. As the snake lay
coilcd up, the Mexican made grab at
his neck, and caught the reptile too far
back, the snake turning his head and
fastening his fang in che second joint of
the forc-hnger, from which he dangled
until shaken loose by the performer.
Simple remedies were used at once, but
the finger continued to inhame and the
flesh to drop off, until amputation be-
came necessary to save the Mexican's
life. The snake-charmcr has retired from
the charming business to the more gene
raj Mexican avocation of monte.dealer.

The two Presbyterian assemblies, one
sitting in Brooklyn the other in Savan-
nah, took during the closing days of
their sessions long step in the direction
Of fraternity. On Friday, May 26th, a
resolution was adopted in the northern
assembly in these words: "With view
to the expression of the united and hear
ty wishes of this body that at the earliest
practicable moment we may see the es-
tabllshmcnt OF correspondence with the
other assembly, we hereby resolve that
this assembly reiterates its cordial desire
to establish fraternal relations with the
southern assembly on terms Of perfect
equality and reciprocity as soon as it is
agreeable to their brethren to respond to
this assurance by similar expression" "
10 this a reply was sent on the next uay
from the southern body, declaring that
while condcmning certain acts and de-
llytrancrs of the northern assembly, nc
acts of deliverances of the southern as
'cmbIy are to he construed or admitted
as impngning in any way the christian
ch racter or standing of the northern
general assembly or of the historical
bodies of which it il the successor.
his assurance was received by the
assembly in Brooklyn with great satisiac
ton, and resolution in the precise
terms Of that from Savannah, with the
necessary change of the word "northern
to southern" was adopted, and ordered
u be Immediately telegraphed. The
adoption of the resolution was followed
by the singing of the doxoogy. The
country will approve of the sensible basi'

churches. Neither body is asked to sur
render cherished convictions, but will

THE retirement of Mr.. johnson from the

The retirement of Mr.. johnson from the
state superintendency of schools for Maine is
an important event. Mr.. johnson has held
the position for nearly ten years, and in that
time has effected a great revolution in the
state system of public instruction. The rev.
enues of the public schools have been largely
increased, the Free High schools have been
established, the Normal schools have been
fostered and enlarged. and general strong
impulse has been given to our educational
progress. In all this Mr.. Johnson's strong
hand has been felt and his energy, positive
ness and untiring activity have been potent
in organizing and directing the progress in
his department. He has also taken a high
position among the educa tional men of the
nation and has become prominent and well
known in other states as well as Maine His
retirement will be much felt in all matters
relating to the schools of Maine.
Among the gentlemen named for the sue
cession is Mr.. Albro E. Chase of this city.
Mr.. Chase has for many years been teacher
In the Portland High School, and has been
actively identified with educational matters
In the state. He would bring to the office
mind fresh from school work, well trained in
all things pertaining to public instruction
and keenly alive to the wants of the schools,
and the most practical methods of meeting
those wants.

THE question of absorbing interest in po-
litical circles now is as to the result of the
Indiana election in October. The Republi-
cans entertain strong hopes of carrying the
state next month, and feel sure of its elect
oral vote in November. In 1872 Indiana
ehose Democratic Governor. but threw a
neaVy majority for Grant a month later.
Even should the Democrats carry the state in
October it does not follow that they will car
