We have written on to Edison FOR five

our editorials to them, thus saving the time

the printers, with their feet, can require them

their ears Just as fast as wanted. Thus the
compositors ears will take in the copy and
their eyes will only have to watch the type,
We expect Edison to give US two machines
suggesting this new use for them.
We only said that pansy beds were not
as profitable for ladies' to work in as potato
beds No objection to the former. A lady
does not need to go to the potato patch to be
worthy of admiration. She may make her
home pleasanter and richer by altogether
avoiding labor that will harden her hands
Some men must be doctors and some must be
blacksmiths. The one calling is as honorable
as the other. Some ladies can help their hus-
bands and their families most by cultivating
pansy beds, others by working in potato beds.
We only hold to our first declaration, that in
this country the latter will pay the best, though
sc all the ladies had potatos to sell we doubt
whether Mrs. Suck would find profit in hers.
1t is well for ladies for the sake of complexion
and delcacy to avoid labor but it may be well
for them in the case OF emergencies to under
stand the cultivation of potato or tomato beds,
onion beds and feather beds.
The examination of Enoch Adkins, charg-
ed with the incendarism of the Woodman
fire, is under way at the courthouse. 1t began
Tuesday and appears as yet hardly to have
reached the beginning of the end " The ar
rests in the case we're brought about by a
youth of Lancaster, named Breeze. When he
undertook the job he engaged in business far
above his capacity and no attention or encour-
agement should have been given him. We
have faith that the Woodman rascals will be
exposed but trusting to such verdant instru-
ments Gully weakens the chances. Mr.. Beebe
is assisted in the prosecution by Hon. j. Allen
Barber. Every light yet struck is being turn
ed upon the crime. The Woodman upper
crust" are bravey determined and we hope
they will keep their courage well screwed up.

and every inch of ground is being fought
desperately. If Adkins does not get free he
may make up his mind that he is a hard case.
If he is pronounced guilty he may well be
satisfied that no possible legal talent could
have saved him. The trial will last all week,
may be longer. Of the other parties arrested
