Our Mailer.

The increasing circulation Of the TRANSCRIPT
has made it necessary for us to seek some
more satisfactory means of mailing than BY
pen or pencil, and this week we have put IN
operation iii our Office a Rukenhrod mailer,
which neatly prints the name Of each subscri-
Der either on the margin Of the paper or the
wrapper. We have not been able to get the
whole of our list up this week, and only part
Of this issue will 60 through the mailer, but in
the future the pencil will have lost its ocrupa-
ton as mailer in this Office, and our Ruken-
brod will do the mailing at the rate of about
forty minute Mailing newspapers with pen
or pencil is the system of a past age. 1t was
good enough for stage coach times, but alto
gether too low for the days Of the railroad,
telegraph and civil service reform. We are a
little surprised that any paper with even fair
circulation will continue to use pencil; In
fact, we are little astonished that we have
been fool enough to do SO for a whole year,
and when we look back and think of those
damp papers on which we have tried to wIite
with hard pencil we feel that we might have
been better man if we had purchased mailer
sooner. The mailing of papers with pen or
pencil is as tiresome as turning grindstone
for dull axe, besides, printers scrawl is
frequently the hardest hieroglyphics post
master has to tackle.

CYcLoPED1A OF ENGLISH LITERATURE. BRIEF
Biographies of all noted authors, British or
American who have written in the English
Language, from earliest times to the present,
with specimens from their writings, the whole
comprised in eight handy volumes of over
3, 600 pages, making a work not only thor
oughly entertaining and useful 10 all intelli-
gent readers, but well nigh indispensable 10
people of culture The first edition of this
work was published BY CHAMBERS, Of Edin-
burgh, in ls43, and in various editions since
that time il has had a very wide sale, and
established a reputation that makes present
commendation ofits merits superfuous.
The great attractions of the present newly
revished edition is its convenient form, SINH
lar to that of the famous "Tauchniz" and
sLitte Classics publications; It's clear, hold
type, excellent paper and its low price, which
is certainly extraordinary. The entire work
is furnished, free of express or mail charges,
for 50 90 in paper, So 90 in cloth, or S4 80
iu half morocco. 1t is published br the
AMERICAN Book EXCHANGE, New York, in
connection with their Book Exchange Weekly,
and the principal reasons given for its low
price are, that il is intended to serve as a
means of making their paper more widely
known, they sell only 10 purchasers direct,
instead of giving the usual fifty or sixty per
cent discount 10 dealers or agents to sell for
them and, further, that they offer it to early
subscribers at an extra reduction, which tardy
purchasers will have to pay an extra profit 10
compensate.
Volume one will be issued before the holi-
days, in time for those who desire to give it
appropriate use at that time, and the remain
ing volumes will appear, one or two each
month thereafter, as rapidly as it can be is
sued from the press. Specimen pages will be
sent to any one, at once, on request by postal
card, addressed to the AMERICAN Book Elk

Grand Jury Report.

The grand jury in their report to the court
say that at the present term they have had be-
fore them l22 cases, returning 100 true bills
and ignoring 10. They have visited the Aims
house, and have no hesitation in expressing
their entire approval of the manner in which
that institution is conducted. The Almshouse
of this county, they are glad to say, stands
second to none in this or adjoining States
They have also visited the county prison and
find the attention to the proper comfort Of the
inmates, as we'll as the general management of
the prison, worthy Of the highest commenda-
ton. They condemn the former practice Of
allowing some prisoners to ''run at large"
and compliment the sheriff for stopping the
practice The practice Of findiscriminate visit
ing to the Jail is also condemned. Itisrecom-
mended that the workshops Of the prison be
put ia operation as soon as the state Of the
case will permit, as ''whether the labor Of
these persons is profitable or not it is better TO
keep them employed" They have examined
the jail and are unable to find any defect in
the construction, except it is in the mauner in
which the iron bars are placed in the windows.
The jury are convinced that there is pressing
necessity for some change in the laws Of this
State for the punishment of crimes of inferior
grade, especially cases Of assault and battery
and petty larceny. Persons charged with
these trihing offences are frequently supported
as prisoners by the county for several months,
the time of the grand jury and court is occu-
pied for considerable time, and scores of men
(whose time is valuable) are kept waiting for
days together until such cases are disposed Of,
some of them not involving in the issue as
much as the fees Of one witness for a single
day. The hope is INDUCED that 1.-THE time is
not far distant when we shall have some tri-
bunal by which offences Of this kind may be
disposed Of in a more expeditions and and less

FORTUNATELY for the producers
here, who yet cling to the hope of
converting to their creed the consul
mers, the price of substantial eat
ables has fallen to fair prices, and
now the Is cents that the consumers
pay for drink of mean whiskey will
purchase two pounds of good bacon,
and the same amount thrown away
on disgustingly favored cigar will
purchase three pounds of good -four.
These are two available vicious hab-
its, opposed to two necessary and
supporting virtues and necessities,
which ought to cause the tramp-con-
sumer to pause, reflect and mend his
evil ways, join a good Temperance
Lodge, roll up his sleeves and go
hard at it for his own redemption,
thus giving the lie direct to the false
cry Of hard times.

our best and most substantial young
men, whose character and standing
are guarantees Of the stability Of the
order. The difference between the
Knights and Friends of Temperance,
as we understand it, is that the for
mer permit, and the latter do not
allow, any Of its members to sell
liquors. Many young men were cut
off from membership in the Friends
of Temperance by this prohibition,
without any fault of their own, and
we are glad to see both orders estab-
lished here. Besides the direct good
TO the members themselves, these
Temperance Societies have whole
