ing stones, and various other paraphernalia.
Here JOB work of every description and
character, from the tiniest carte-de-
vislte to the mammoth poster in
PLAIN black, or in chromatic colors. is
gotten up, and a large force is constantly at
work to MI the orders that come from all
over north, east and central Texas. On the
first floor is
THE PRESS ROOM,
containing our mammoth Hoe newspaper
press, our Campbell press, a Campbell pony
J00bber, and four other job presses. These,
all on hrm brick and cement foundations,
are run by our new engine, and so noise
lesSly do they work that the passer-by on
the street does not hear them. On the same
iloor IN the rear, In room prepared especi-
ally for 1t, is our new Otto
SILENT GAS ENGINE,
which furnishes the power for running the
presses, and which does it in a wonderful
manner. 1t is them compact and surpris-
ing piece OF mechanism we have ever seen,
perfectly automatic in all its functions, so
simple, and yet so thoroughly scientific, as to
be understood by child, and at the same
time as TO puzzle the scientist as to its prin-
ciple' You strike a match, light burner,
open valve and the engine is started. Tn
Off the gas and it stops. No attendant 4
needed while in motion. 1t can run ali d, =
without the necessity of any one being ncar.
There is no boiler, no smoke no dirt, a!.l
hardly any noise. The principle of it is that
certain proportion of ordinary gas and at
mospheric air is admitted into the cylinder,
where itundergoes partial combustion. The
expansion thus produced forces the pis-
ton out; it is then driven back by the mo-
mentum of the fly wheel to repeat the oper-
alton. The amount of gas admitted is regu-
lated by the machine itself through an au-
tomato process, according to the amount Of
work 1t is called on to perform. Thus, if it
1t is running idle, it will admit gas only
every eighth or tenth revolution, while if It
has heavy weight to pull it will let gas in
every second or fourth revolution.
Here too is tho mailing department, where
the men and boys take from the folding
machine the papers that come folded ready
for the. mailing clerks work of addressing
copies by machine for other towns, as well
as ready for the city circulator, who passes
the required number out to his carriers for
distribution throughout the city in the early
day dawn.
In the front on the first floor is the stock
room, where is stored the job room stock
and the. white paper for our daily and
load, paying cash for it, as we do for all

TOWa's Walled lake.

The greatest wonder in the state Of Iowa,
and perhaps in any state, is what is called
the Walled Lake, in Wright county, twelve
miles north Of the Dubuque and Pacific rail
Way and one hundred and fifty miles west of
Dubuque city. The lake is two or three feet
higher than the earth's surface. In some
places the wall is ten feet high, fifteen feet
wide at the bottom and five feet wide at the
top. Another fact is the size Of the stone
used in the construction, the whole Of them
varying in weight from three tons down to
100 pounds. There is an abundance of stone
in Wright county, but surrounding the lake,
to the extent of five or ten miles, there are
none. No one can form an idea of the
means employed to bring them to the spot or
who constructed it. Around the entire lake
is a belt Of woodland half q mile in length,
composed of oak. With this exception the
country is a rolling prairie. The trees must
have been planted there at the time Of the
building of the wall. In the spring Of the
year 1866 there was a great storm and the
ice on the lake broke the wall in several
places, and the farmers in the vicinity were
obliged to repair the damage to prevent in
undation. The lake occupies a ground sur
face Of 1880 acres depth IF water as great
as twenty-five feet. The water is clear and
cold, soil sandy and loamy. It is singular
that no one has been able to ascertain where
the water comes from and where it goes, yet
it is always clear and fresh.

cause Of the Trouble Between Blaine
and COnkEImg.

Secretary Blaine said Of Mr.. Conkling in 8
discussion with him in the House of Repre-.
sentatives in 1866
"As to the gentleman's cruel sarcasm I
hope he will not be too severe. The con-
tempt of that large minded gentleman is SO
willing, his naughty disdain, his grandilo-
Quent swell, his majestic, supereminent,
overpowering, turkey gobbler strut has been
50 crushing to myself and all the members of
this House, that l know it was an act Of the
greatest temerity for me to venture upon q
controversy with him. But, sir, I know
who is responsible for all of this. [ know
that within the last five weeks, as members
Of the House will recollect, an extra strut
has characterized the gentleman's bearing.
1t is not his fault. It is the fault OF another.
The gifted and %satirical writer, Theodore
Tilton, Of the New York Independent, spent
some weeks recently in this city. His letter,
published in that paper, embraced, with
many serious statements, a little jocose sa-
tire, q part of which was the statement that
the mantle Of the late Winter Davis had
fallen upon the member from New York.
The gentleman took it serious, and it has
given bis strut an additional pomposity. The
resemblance is great. 1t is striking. Hyper
ion to a Satyr, Thersites to Hercules, mud TO
marble, a dunghill to a diamond, a singed
cat to q Bengal tiger, a whining puppy to a
roaring lion. Shades of the mighty Davis
forgive the almost proclamation of that jocose
satire.

Horses.

Horses can be educated to the extent Of
their understanding as children, and can be
readily damaged or ruined by bad manage
ment. We believe that the difference found
il horses as to vicious habits and reliability
comes much more from the different man
agement of men than from variance or nat
ural disposition Of animals. Horses with
high metal are more easily educated than
those of less or dull spirits, and are more sus-
ceptible to ill-training. and consequently may
be made good or bad, according to the edu-
cation they receive.
Horses with dull spirits are not by any
means proof against bad management, for in
them may be found the most provoking OBJ
stinacy, vicious habits of different characters
that render them almost entirely worthless.
Gould the coming generation of horses in.
this country be kept from their days of colt
hood to the age of five years in the hands Of
good, careful managers, there would be seen
a vast difference in the general character Of
the noble animals.
If a colt is never allowed an advantage it
Will not Know it possesses q power that Q
man cannot control, and if made familiar
with strange objects, it will not be skittish or
nervous. If a horse is made accustomed from
his earliest days to have objects hit him on
heels, back or hip, he will pay no attention
to the giving of 8 harness, or a wagon run
ming against him at an unexpected moment.
We once saw an aged lady driving a high
spirited horse attached to a carriage down q
steep hill, with no holdback straps upon the
harness, and she assured us That there was no
danger, for her son accustomed his horse to
all kinds Of usages and sights that commonly
goad the horse into a frenzy of fear and ex-
element.
A gun can be fired from the back of q
horse, an umbrella held over the head, a buff
falo robe thrown over his neck, a railroad
engine pass close by, bis heels bumped with
sticks, and the animal take it all as a natural
condition Of things, if only taught by careful
management that it will not be injured there
by. There is great need of Improvement in
this noble animal. Less beating wanted and
more education.

Grabs and other crustaceans Of every kind,

vestigations have unearthed a number Of
shrimps from the deep waters Of the Allan
