FOR 1880.

During the coming Presidential year The Tribune
will be "A more effective agency than for telling
the best worth knowing, and for enforcing
sound politics. From the day the war closed 1t has
been most anxious for an end of sectional strife.
But it years ago, and was the first persist
emily to Proclaim the new danger to the country
from the revived alliance, of the Solid South and
Tammany Hall. Against that danger it sought to
rally the old party of Freedom and the Union. 1t
began by demanding the abandonment of personal
dislikes and set the example. 1t called for an end
to attacks upon each other instead of the enemy
and for the heartiest agreement upon whatever fit
candidates the majority should put up against the
common foe. Since then the tide of disaster has
been turned back; every doubtful state has been
won, and the omens for National victory were never
more cheering
THE TRIBUNE'S POSITION.
OfThe Tribune's share in all this, those speak
most enthusiastically who have seen most of the
struggle. 1t will faithfully portray the warming
phases of the campaign now beginning. 1t will
earnestly strive that the party of Freedom, Union
and Public Faith may select the man surest to win,
and surest to make good President. But in this
crisis it conceive of no nomination this party
could make that would not be preferable to the best
that could possibly be supported by the Solid South
and Tammany Hall.
The Tribune is now spending much labor and
money than before to hold the distinction it has
enjoyed of the largest circulation among the best

PRYyrER.S DREAM.

A Printer sat in his Office chair his
boots were patched and his coat thread
bare, while his face looked weary and
worn with care. While sadly thinking
of business debt, old Morpheus slowly
round him crept, and before he knew it
he soundly slept; and, sleeping, he
dreamed that he was dead, from A7ouble
and toll his spirit had fed, and t.. o. ot
even O cow-bell tolled for the peace,%.
rest of his cowhide sole. As he wan.
dered among the shades, the smoke and
scorch in lower Hades, he shortly OBJ
served an iron door that creakingly
swung on hinges ajar, but the entrance
was crossed bya red-hot bar, and Satan
himself stood peeping out and watching
for travellers thereabout, and thus to
the passing printer spoke, and with
growing voice the echoes woke /:
"Come in, my dear, it shall cost you
nothing, and never fear; this is the place
where I cook the ones who never pay
their subscription sums, for, though in
life they may escape, they will find
when dead it is too late will show You
the place where I melt them thin, with
red-hot chains and scraps Of tin, and
also where I comb their heads with
broken glass and melted lead, and if of
refreshments they only think there's
boiling water for them to drink there's
the red.hot grindstone to grind down
his nose, and red-hot rings to wear on
his toes and if they mention they don't
like fire I'll sew up their mouths with
red-hot wire :, and then, dear sir, you
should as then sqtifm while I roll
them over and cook to . turn" With
these last words the printer awoke, and
thought it all practical joke but still
at times 20 real did it seem that he can
not believe il YVES al a.d,eam ; and often
he thinks with chuckle and grin of
the fate Of those who save their tin and
never pay the printer. Post

FUTURE OF WOOD ENGRAVING.

Every engraver larnents that all the
brilliant effects of his proof are not re-
produced in the print. Every printer
regrets that the perfect graduation of
tint he secures in one cut cannot be Sc
Cured in all cuts. There is ageneral be-
lief that there are capabilities in the art
NOf woOd-cutting which have not been
fairly developed. 1t is not probable that
the needed improvements will be made
through finer engraving, for it is even
now too common to engraye too fine for
printing. Printing machines are aound-
antly strong and accurate. Overlay cut.
tiers and pressmen were never more skin
full, but they are not in advance of the
increasing acquisitions made upon them.
The further development of engraving
made upon wood is waiting for improve
ments in paper, in ink, and mixing APP
paratus, in electrOtype and other minor
mechanisms. 1t waits quite as much
for the cooperation of artists and en-
gravers in the study Of the mechanical
difficulties of printing, and of the best
methods of evading or conqucring them
for artists and engravers whose OBJ
iective point is not pleasing sketch or
SNOWY proof, but a faultlcss print, and
who will neglect nothing that aids this
purpose. The waiting will notbe long.
There is earnestness enough among the
men who contribute to the making of
wOod-cut prints to warrant the hope that
the next ten years will witness many
great Improvements in wood-cut-print-

NO CLIMATE At ALL.

South America, it might almost be
said, has no climate at all. Here. in the
southern continent, the same wind from
the South pole blows throughout the
year, fresh and keen all along the coast ;
so fresh and keen that on the sea, or
close to it, the vertical sun of the trop-
les loses all its power, even at noon,
and the long equatorial night has chill
which renders it unsafe as we'll as un-
comfortable to sleep in the open air,
and unwise and almost impossible to dis
pense with heavy blankets. On the
western coast of South America the
vapors that would he waited up to it
from the Pacific are met by the peren-
NAL breezes which, as 1 said. come up
from the pole, and they are driven up
ward till they reach the Andes, where,
condensed by the cold Of that lofty re-
gion, they fail in. ccpicus rain, 4dseneh-
ing and fersiliziug the entirewatershed,
passing over the vester1 slope and \ av-
ing it untouched, arid, barren and desc
late. For the six winter months in the
year that in the West Indies is'the rainy
season is here the season Of clouds and
fogs. We have the constant threat of
rain, with hardly ever drop Of it, and
the SIM that breaks ont in pale glimpses
toward noon is seen but not felt. This
is especially the case with Peru, the,
coast Of which, projecting westward in
all its length from africa to Payta, is
more Immediately exposed to the polar
wind and more numerically searched
and blighted by its blast. That its eli
mate, as tropical one, may be all the
better for it, it is very possible; and, in
deed, there is no fault to be found with
it on the score of human, health, but it
is gloomy and doomed to perpetual,
drought. Dew and moisture are wanting
in the land consequently no vegetation,
or only that which is .fostered, by the
scanty rills creeping through the sand
and stone Of their narrow gleps, and
only breaking down, torrent fashion,
when the thaw Of the perpetual snow of
the Cordilleras sets in in good earnest in
the summer months. 1885,

4 TRUIT-PICKKR Is the latest invention.
II is simply a ring or collar OF sheet
metal four or five inches high and the
same in diameter, with the upper por-
ton formed into half dozen points like
q crown, each point being covered with
an indiarubber disk or shield to prevent
the fruit from injury by contact. A
socket in the side receivesa light pole of
any required length, and from the bot
tom of the ring or crown extends light
hose Of cotton drilling, or other light
material. to convey the fruit down 70 the
hand Of the operator, or into q basket,
wagon, or wherever desired. Standing
on the ground the operator reaches for
the fruit, the points of the crown passing
on each side Of the stem, and light up
ward shove easily detaches the fruit, and
it drops down through the crown and
hose. The operator can hold the pole in
one hqdhad the hose Il thu cher, or
the hose can be hooked to a small, NOV
able bracket placed on the pole for that
purpose, thns allowing of handling the
pole with both hands, or an assistant can

A change in the basis will again become
necessary, for it is estimated that, if the
Congressional apportionment is not en-
larged, the number of members to be
elected in 1853 viii be nearly 400, which
would make An unxieldy body, ana one
which could not find accommodation in
the present Chamber. The number Of
members is now 29S, which makes a
large assembly. 1t is estimated that if
the basis were enlarged to about 10, 600
the number of Representatives would be
nearly the same. Continuing the pres

COOLING COYERLET.

Certain diseases, such as typhoid fe-
yer, are sometimes treated by refrigera-
ton, or artificial cooling of the patient,
and new coverlet for this purpose has
been recently introduced into the Hos
pital de la Pitie by DIR. DumOntpallier.
The coverlet is made out of tube of
caoutchouc, eighty metres long, folde e
on itself in series of equal lengths,
and inclosed in two squares of cloth. A
current of cold water flows through the
tube from end to end, from and into q
distributing apparatus placed ON table
at the foot of the bed. The distributor
consists of two stop-cocks in con-
nection with the reservoir of cold water,
and the ether with the outAow-pipe.
Thermometers, to show the temperature
Of the water as it enters and leaves the
coverlet, are inserted in special cham
beers fitted to the stop-cocks. The tube
from the coverlet to the outlet stop-cock
is arranged to send the water through
a small glass bell-iar on the table, SO as
to enable the regularity of the outflow
to be seen. The apparatus is said to be
