. A SUBLIME GLUTTON.-As a "bit of
word painting" the following description
of the performance Of n glutton at an
English cricket match is, wo believed,
unequaled in excellence, except by the
performance itself: "The hero of this
scene has made table Of the box seat,
and built himself throne Of cushions on
the foot board. So artistcally arranged
is the whole thing that the mouth almost
touches the plate. He is a dull, heavy
eyed, sleepy sensual1st. In intellect be is
on a level with sheep, and his over fed
expression rem inds me of the fat boy in
"Pickwick." He is slow, solemn, dreamy
and methodical eater. He never hurrios
himself about anything, but crans his
unfortunate stomach with the regularity
of machine. Provided also with SCR
want to minister to his exclusive wants,
he gave slow signs to the slave, his
mouth being too fall to talk. He attends
to no one, looks al no one, gazes nowhere
except upon the steadily disappearing
mass of food. Ladies are on the carriage
but they turn their backs upon him in
disgust, ahd put up their parasols. A sill
yer lagon is before tho gormandizer, and
he sighs with delight as the cool liquid
trickles down his throat. After eating
for over an hour he starts up and looks
yacantly round. The sweet cake is SO
long coming that he Grams his mouth
with bread meanwhile. Cheese, salad,
mint sauce, pie, cake, and fruit disappear
down his marvellous throat. When the
end is nearly at hand he fingers affection
ateIy over the last bit. He is sorrowful
at the thought of losing crumb. Slower
and slower the hand goes up to the mouth
and then the glutton appears to be IN
dreamy trance. went up to look at him
and he gazed at me with sleepy eyes. lie

A LONDON NEWSPAPER OFFICE.-A
correspondent of the Philadelphia Times
writes from London an account of his
visit to the office of the London Times.
He says: "There are large dining room
and restaurant in the building, where all
the men get their meals who wish, at
cost, except q trife above, which goes
into a sick fund fer the benefit of the en-
ployes. In the basement is a large ma
chine shop, where saw at least twenty
hands at work, and where large num-
ber Of the Walter printing machines have
been built, besides those employed in The
Office. In the press-room are eight OF
these machines in daily use, each one
printing $1,000 newspapers in an hour,
in all 100, 900 in every 60 minutes they are
in motion. In the paper room was a con-
siderable store of paper in reels, weigh.
ing about 800 pounds each, and 40 Of
these reels are used in every issue of
the Times. They go to press about A.
NJ, and get of before A. NJ, and l
was told by Mr.. Mac Donald that with
in 20 minutes after the last form is
locked up the matter has been stereo-
typed and six presses are running. l
WAS shown into room where there
are wires connected with all parts of
the continent, and within arms reach
stands Il type setting machine, manag-
ed by two boys, to which the telegraph
slips are passed. They can set up and
correct in an evening as much as six
columns of matter, which is sent down
through a pneumatic tube, by which
channel all tho matter reaches the stone.
In another room there are two sets of
wires running to Parliament, from
which full dispatches are recei we'd while
the two houses are in session. In
room connected with the machine shop
are two type making machines, which
arc kept constantly at work, and Mr..
Macdonald told me that he had found it
cheaper to make type than to distribute
1t. The business room is on the first
floor, aad then there is an inquiry
rooro,' where information is furnished
to those outside who have the right to
ask it; several rooms that are devoted
to the advertising department, and
others for the editorial staff, which is
large. The establishment is complete
in all its parts, and tho employees find
beneath the Times roof every necessary
comfort and convenience to be had in n
good hotel. The new building is not
quite completed"

PUNcTUALITY is politoness, lack oft
Is the grossest rudensss. The person who
cannot be punctual in attendance at a
lecture or entertainment, should stay
away. If he cannot so far sacrifice him
self to the rules OF society he should at
least enter the hall as though he anew
that he was an offender, and was de-
sirous Of being as little offensive as poss-
ible. Instead of that, many people fall
up stairs and trample into hall as though
they would say: "Here l am, look at
me; know am disturbing everybody,
and am big, ill-mannered boor TO do
IL. but I'm not ashamed" The people
generally respond and look with their
opinions of the bore very plainly express
cd on their faces. 1t is just as easy to be
on time as to be ten minutes late; and IN
case of tardinoss the early eomers are
entitled to expect quiet entrance and an
apologetic back seat on tho part OF the
late ono.

A CAMBRIDGE lady put herself in the
hands of Boston dentist to have her
teeth reorganized. He found them in a
very bad plight, and asked her why she
had allowed them to become SO decayed
without coming to him or some other
dentist. She replied that she had not had
time. "But," he insisted, lit would not
have taken long, and you could have
come in almost any time" She saw
that he was bent on an explanation, and
she fred this at him like cannon ball:
"Well, guess If you had had baby

would think it was enough to tend to"

Our Next Congressman.

Hon. Jonathan T. Updegrsf the Re
publican candidate for Congress in this
the 18th Congressional District has a
wide reputation throughout Ohio and
Pennsylvania, as politician and CAM
paign speaker. He was born..in Mt.
Pleasant, Jefferson County, Of Quaker
parentage and was educated atFranklin
College. Ohio. After leaving College
he chose the profession of medicine
and became skillful and successful
physician. He inherited large wealth,
and has added to 1t by care and In
dustry both in his profession and as a
farmer. In fact, of late years, he has
been more devoted to agricultural than
professional purs uits. Although al
ways holding pronounced political
views, he has seldom held public Of
fee. He was chosen In 1871 member
of the sixtieth General Assembly from
the 22d Senatorial District, and was an
active participant In the celebrated
Sayler-Kemp contested election case,
involving the right of theSoldiers at the
Home at Dayton to vote and made one
of the abIest speeches of his life in sup
port of such right. In that contest,
and in political campaigns since, his
ability as debater and his eloquence
as campaign orator have become
widely known. He was chosen one
of the Presidential electors in 1872.
He is in the prime Of life, is possess
ed of great physical vigor, is pleasing
in person, and address and will be q
popular candidate. AS a representa-
tive in Congress, he will take high
rank, and will ftly represent one of the
most intelligent districts in the Union

personal knowledge. Even Mr.. Pitkin,
General Buffers particular ally, goes
no further than to say that such things
were generally believed" and that
were matters of common rumor."
We knew as much as that two years
ago. and the people did not need the
aid OF q Cong re5siOnal committee to re-
mind them of the dIscredited sus-
picions afioat. 1t has not helped us in
the slightest degree to judgment of
their truth or falsity.
The committee had it announced
with flourish of trumpets that the
allegations of fraud were to be backed
up by proof from both Republican and
Democratic sources that Mr.. Hayes and
his spokesmen had promised rewards
to the perpetrators of such fraud.
Where is the evidence? We get no
reply but the reiteration of the name
of Anderson. The absurdity of resting
a cause upon him needs no discussion.
Mr.. w. E. Chandler, a Republican
enemy of the Administration, was to
reveal all the FLORIDA promises. Mr..
Chandler has been on the stand, and
has sworn that he knows nothing OF
any such guarantee. Not trail has
been struck that leads to the alleged
dicker of offices for false count of
votes. Every point that was to be
established by the investigation has
been named, and not one OF them
reached. The inquiry has steadily
dwindled In Importance since the first
day that it was instituted, and in the
public it is now simply burlesque and
q nuisance.
Evidently the investigators are
firing of their unfruitful work. They
cannot shirk it altogether, but they
are striving to lessen the labor. A
subcommittee has departed on wild
goose chase to louisiana, and those
members remaining are to do duty in
Washington by reliefs. A section will
continue droning the dull hours away
with witnesses who do not bear wit
ness to anything, and the others will
seek solace and rest until their turn
comes to put on the harness and relieve
the unfortunates. But the mine of the
sensation has already been exhausted,
and the rest is mere perfunctory labor.
The whole affair has turned out to be a
losing investment for the Democrats
and for such Republicans as took shares
in it. 1t has not scorched President
Hayes nor Secretary Sherman, and it
has not even produced any campaign
capital for anybody. Altogether, it is
a most dismal fiasco, and has ceased to
be of any considerable public interest.

What They Think OfOur
Nominee.

The Ohio State Journal says: The
enthusiasm over the work of the Re-
publicans in the Eighteenth district
was such that an impromptu ratifca-
tion meeting was held Immediately
after the adjournment of the Conven-
tion, though the nomination was not
made till midnight. Updegraff, the
nominee, is an indefatigable campaign
worker, and would be a nightly usef ul
man in close district, or a distric t
intended to be Democratic
under the gerrymande r; but we don't
believe he is the kind of man to relax,
because be has ''sure thing" for him :,
self. He will man his "Quaker" guns
and help to roll up an increased major
ity for the Republican State ticket.
And be it known that in Mr.. Upde-
CRAFTS arsenal "Quaker" gums are the
kind of guns that shoot, and spread
in the ranks of the enemy
At last accounts Updegraff had gone
back to the Quaker settlement of Mt.
Pleasant, probably to get his ammuni-
tion in order.
The Cleveland Herald of Saturday
says, that DIR. Updegraff, who has been
for Congress by the Repub-
icans of the Eighteenth District, is
we'll known throughout the State as an
earnest Republican and an orator Of no
ordinary ability. In 1876 he rendered
valuable service on the stump in
Indiana as well as in Ohio. The con-
est in the convention, although ex.
tenacious, running up to i37
BALLOTS and lasting until midnight, was
.ood .natured throughout and does net
listurb the harmony of the party in
he district. DIR. Updegraff's principal
were @. l.. Poorman md
/. w. Reilly, either OF whom would
ave made an excellent Representative
t is not often that district has three
uch candidate to choose from.
