A NEW type-setting machine has been

A NEW type-setting machine has been
contrived by a German inventor By
means Of lever, which is worked by a
series Of notes, something like piano,
the letters are raised out of box in
which they are kept, and placed in a
position fixed for them. By employing
very simple mechanism, a second set
ting apparatus can be adjusted, and by
this arrangement the sentence is twice
set in the same time. The machine is
claimed to possess the advantage over
all others OF the sort, Of uncomplicated
construction, SO that it is not only easy
to be worked, but performs the setting
in quick and correct manner From
all that appears, however, in relation to
this machine, its efficiency is not likely
to come into serious rivalry with hand
composition.

eff it were practicable to- enter

Presidential election Of 1876, the
result would, in my Judgment, prove
to be eminently satisfactory to the
republican party. Such an investi-
gatic1 as this Z speak of would un~
doubtedly bring to light, not only
the great wrong by which Louisiana,
Florida and South Carolina were
attempted to be carried for Tilden,
but also successful system of in
timidation and outrage in several
other Southern States whereby the
will Of their people was smothered,
paralyzed, bull-dozed all away. !

John Morrissey.

Senator John Morrissey, of New

Thus has passed away ono of the
most remarkable le men Of the cen
tury, than whom there has nevcr
been moro: conspicuous example
of the possibilities afforded by the
peculiar genius and political insti-
buttons of the American people.
John Morrissey sprang from the
lower classes Of society. In lis
early life he was known chiefly rs q
rough and prize fighter, in which
line he achieved quite reputation.
His first prize fight in California,
in 1851, against one Thompson, he
won by foul blow. His next fight
was with Yankee Sullivan, in which
Morrissey was severely beaten at
first, but his great powers of en-
durance saved him, until his
antagonist failed to come to time
and Morrissey won. In 1857 Nor
rissoy fought Heenan for purse of
$4,000, and the championship.
Here, too, Morrissey was badly
beaten at first, but his endurance
was so wonderful that on the
eleventh round Heenan' threw up

After this, Morrissey abandoned
the prize ring for the political
arena. He rose, rapidly into power

elected to Congress-. It is said
that shortly after reaching; WASH

view with Speaker Colfax. Pre-
senting him with cigar he asked
how he liked it. Superb" an

Morrissoy, ''if you wish I will send

Morrissey, "Lll send you a couple
Of boxes. Now. Mr. Colfax, have
little favor to ask of YOU" 'sir9"

Tearing some job on the part of
his visitor, or some important re-
quest he could not grant. Swell"
said Morrissey, looking somewhat
embarrassed, "You see I don't

TOTAL ABSTINENCE SAVING WINE TILL IT
RIPENS.

There is curious story about some native
wines which are extensively advertised nova
days. and have only recently been put upon
the market. DR.. Underhill, the well.known
grapc-grower of Croton Point. died in 1871
Some Of his heirs entertained temperance
views of such extreme kind, that they were
unwilling to allow the stock Of wines then on
hand to be sold or any more TO be made.
The grapes have sometimes been sent to
market, and sometimes left to decay upon
the vines. 1t is only now that the other heirs
have succeeded in arranging for settlement
Of the estate and the sale of the wines on
hand. Among these is n wine of the vintage
of 1904 described as 4 Sweet Union Port"
but suggesting the Imperial Tokay more
than any other European wine, and being
wholly unlike any other wine Of American
growth. It's purity, age and mcllowness are
remarkable and both physicians and wine
fancicrs have a special interest in it as the
oldest native wine now accessible in any on
siderable quantity. The whole stock is in The
hands Of the wcll-known wholesale grocery
house Of the Thurbcfs.-N. Y Tribune,
No0. I9. 1871.

equal success. His gambling hall
at Saratoga was perfect Afaddins
palace, and challenged the wonder
of every visitor. Similar places
we're conducted in Now York city.
It is claimed for Morrissev that he
played fair game and was content
with his enormous "legitimato"
gains.
A few years ggo John Kelley and
John Morrissey were supreme
dictators of Tammany Hall, which
in turn dictated to the city and
State Of New York. But these
illustrious leaders quarroled, and
Morrissey threw down his tomas
hawk, washed off the Tammany war
paint, and organized an opposition
wing. In 1876, Morrissey was the
most conspicuous supporter OF
Tiltten at the st. Louis Convention,
and his argum ent at that timo was
the we'll known "Put up or shut
up After Tiluen WAS nominated,
the Honorable John worked like O
beaver for him. He it was who
originated the presidential pools in
New York, the reports Of which, it
is remembered, were 80 eagerly
looked for day after day, and which
had considerable influence in turn
ing the floating vote over to Tilden.
1t was charged that Morrisscy and
Sammy Tilden were bulling the
pools. The magnitude Of the
operation will be understood when
it is recalled that when bets wore
declared "otf," million dollars
worth Of pool tickets were redeemed
in cash.
Last year Fammany and anti
Tammany both sent delegations to
tho New York State Convention,
one faction headed by Boss Kelly,
the other by John Norrissey. It
was expected that compromise
would be made and q part Of both
delegations would be seated. But
Tammany euchred their opponents.
Anti-Tammany was rejected and
John AIorrissey and his braves re-.
turned to the city breathing
slaughter. In the elections Nor
rissey bearded the lion in his den.
He ran rs an independent candi
date for Senator. and instead OF
choosing O district in which success
was certain, he offered for the
seventh district, that portion Of the
city embracing Fifth Avenue and
all the aristocratic quarters, and in
which Kelly and the other Tammany
magnates resided. Tanmany made
q desperate effort to crush him.
Augustus Schell,, cx-chairman OF
tho National Democratic Committee,
and ono of the bluest bloods,
coming from an old Knickerbocker
family, and rich as Crosus, was
pitted against him. More interest
was excited by this contest than by
all the balance Of the State election
The Republicans ran no candidate,
but for party's sake, in order to
weaken Tammony, supported Nor
rissey in q body. Such men as the
Astors, Hamilton Fish, Jr., and the
Rev. Howard Crosby, besides many
sanity Republicans who had SO
bitterly invoighed against the
domination of roughs and Catholics,
and especially the power welded
by a professional gambler, were
found on this occasion leaving
their aristocratic abodes to deposit
openly their ballots for the OK
priAo fighter and gambler, against
one of the most courtly gentlemen
OF their acquaintance. The result
was the election of Morrissey by n
vote OF at least two to one.

Remarks.

The business, economical, religious,
moral, educational and social charac-
teristics of Waco are fully indicated
in the preceding statistics and de-
scriptions. In every point of view
Waco claims advantages highly de-
sirable as city, and from those feat
ures of the city, the county and sur
rounding country may properly be
judged. Those advantages will be
properly appreciated by business men
and those looking westward.
But while all the advantages of e
highly refined city and country ex-
list here, the open avenues of busi-
ness and cheap lands maintain. We
have all the elements of old settled
places, together with those of q new
country. Lands short distance n ON
the city are to be had at frontier pri-
ces. Lands sell at from two dollars
to ten dollars per acre. The soil is
exceedingly rich, equal to any In
Texas. The character of crops are
well set forth in previous figures.
The climate is delightful and the
country unexceptionably healthy.
The people are courteous and oblig-
ing. The cost of living is not high.
Lands can be procured on easy terms.
Here industry, economy and judg-
mcnt find good rewards.
