Printing OMlce SECRETS.

A properly conducted printing office is aS
much secret society as is Il M,acnic L0dSe,
The printers are not under aa oath OF secrecy
but always feel themselves as in honor bound
to keep secrets, as though they hal been put
through triple oaths. An employees who viii
dsregards this rule in regard to printing
office secrets would not only be scorned by
the brethren OF the craft, but would lose his
position IN the office at once. We make this
statement because it sometimes happens that
u communication appears in u newspaper
under an assumed signature, which eScites
con mrni. and various parties try to find ont
who il the author Let all be snved the
trouble of questioning the employees or at
tachces OF the printing office. They are
" know nothings" " on such points as these.
On such matters they "have eyes and ears
hut no mouth" and if they f,il to observe
this rule, let them be put down as dishon.

with II very short piece of candle wthou,

beds were located; not finding any place on
the fioor to SIT his candle, lie concluded to
put it IN the belly of one Of the slerpers, a

kicked all the clothes off himself, lay there
on his back, naked up to the armpits, and

Indian Corn as Food.

Indian corn is one of the most import
ant and healthful article of human food
that benificent Providence has bestowed
upon man and to its high nutritive value
is due in large degree the strength ana
vigor. of the race of men who laid the
foundations of this great republic. 1t was
much more largely used fifty Or 100 years
ago than now, as fine wheat flour, for
some not well-tounded reason, has
usurped its place in bread. making. In
the several forms, however, of hulled
corn, popped corn, hOminy, samp, corn
starch, maizena,, etc., vast quantities are
consumed by all classes of people.
Meal from Indian corn contains more
than four times as much oleaginous mat
ter as wheat flour, more starch and near
ly as much nitrogenous material; conse-
quently in all cold climates it is admira-
bly, adapted to sustain the system by
furnishing heat-forming compounds. The
oil gives warmth, the nitrogenous princi-
pie gives muscular strength. The cOmbi-
nation of ailimentary compounds in In
dian corn renders it alone the mixed diet
capable OF sustaining man under the most
extraordinary circumstances. 1t holds
the elementary principles which consti.
tute the basis of organic life. In this par

There is large number of dishes OF

are exceedingly palatable. What for in

pudding cut in slices and fried in sweet
butter and lard? Hot cOrn-cakes, when
properly and skillfully made, are almost
universally regarded as a luxury, and
Boston brown bread is famous everywhere
in the country. The reason why corn

Then and Now.

THIS experiment of fast travelling across
the continent has demonstrated, as much
as anything, the excellent condition of the
railroads and their rolling stock. Inferior

all the way through a uackless wilderness.
Seventy-five horses were rode each way. .
Each made twenty-five miles in heat.
the average speed day and night, includ-
ing stoppages, was seven miles an hour,
which was increased to ten or twelve miles
