The Engineers Brotherhood COM
mittee, with Mr.. Arthur, met Mr..
Talmage yesterday at bis ONCE on
Sixth and Locust, for the purpose Of
settling the demands made BY the
engineers, bnt noa until 1850 did they
finish and return to the Laclede hotel,
where 4 number Of engineers had been
waiting all the forenoon with intense
interest for the return Of their grand
chief, Mr., Arthur. A Chronicle re-
porter had the following interview
with Mr.. Arthur as the latter was
making his toilet:
Have you settled, Mr.. Arthur"
Yes, sir, all settled satisfactorily"
On what termsg"
"Welr' said Mr.. Arthur, laughing.
", I'VE settled it satisfactorily to an
parties concerned. There were con
cessions on both sides; as l had talked
to the men and argued that to concede
their demands there was a better
chance. This morning we both yielded
about half, aud now We have u uniform
rate OF pay for services rendered"
What officials we're present at the
meetingf"
| MIR. Dickinson and Mr.. Faegon,
superintendent of the central branch"
And how many of your menu"
Five OF the committee"
Was everything pleasant"
YES, everything passed of pleas
antly aud ki1dly."
But did the officials ceDsure the
men for the acGon taken or for their
| demauds?"
Not At all, sir. They we're very
pleasant"
Tell me what is the mount of the
settlement"
We'll. We now have a mile system
aud one is paid for the distance actusllJ
run
And how about the hours2"
well, it goes on the mile system
aud is as satisfactory as can be. The
men return TO work aud nothing more
is to be dOpe. / tel you | am mighty
glad it is settled"
Was not Mr.. Talmage the ooly
Official who refused the demands?"
oh, no, not that; but he is the
only one woo could settle it."

All over Europe, save 10 the ex.

complained Of ss~ remarkably unpleas-

LNNA- " ~ WIN
PULASKI, September 27.-The con-
ventiOn has not organized. The oou-
tests before tue Committee on Creden-
tlals r so numerous and bitterly
prosecuted that they could not get
through tonight. Senator Harris
speech was listened to, l expect, by the
best audience he has had. Men from
seven counties were there, many Of
them boilers. 1t was mastery, real
Harris like. He discussed national
politics, showing the immense work
being done by the Democracy for
the people, how they defeated Repub-
lican scheming and jobbery and ipsti
tuted means for the relief Of
the people. His remarks upon the
tarlh were especially applicable as
preliminary to a discussion
of the State debt, showing that the
people of Tennessee pay $27, 800, 900
annually national indirect tax, and
for every dollar that goes into the
treasury there 20 vast sums into the
manufacturers pockets. And yet the
party in Tennessee is disrupted over
the small matter of 100000 annually,
and for that amount propose to cripple
the national party and deprive il OF
the power to regulate the tariff, 81 as
to remedy this enormous gouge. He
showed how consistent he had been in
always advocating a settlement upon
proper terms, and he placed Jackson
on the rack for his inconsistencies.
We do not wonder that Jackson got
sick.
He was applauded immensely, for
we all love the great man, and the la
lies presented him a bouquet. Colonel
Savage is speaking now.

is a far more formidable foe than
Arab. lis could take the field at The

would chiefly consist Of his wife, his

Chinese Printing.

The blocks are all of the same size, about
eight inches by twelve inches, and about
half an inch thick Each block represents
two leaves or four pages of the book, being
engraved on both sides. The blocks for a
complete work can thus be slowed away in
a very small compass. The cost of engrav-
ing is said to be but little more than the ex-
pense of setting up page of Chinese type
and preparing it for the press An edition
of one copy can be printed, if no more are
required ; and thus the expense of keeping a
large stock of printed books on handsome
of which might eventually have to be sold
as waste paper when they grew out OF date
or revisions had to be made, as is the case
among ourselves-is entirely avoided. Any
errors or misprints that may be discovered
can, as a rule, be corrected on the blocks with
but very little trouble A skillful printer
can print by hand 5000 leaves of two pages
each day, using no press or machinery
whatever. He supplies his own tools, and
receives as wages about 25 cents per day.
The paper ordinarily used is white and Of
the best quality, although a yellowish kind
is also made use of at reduction of twenty
per cent. on the selling price.

Australian Vastness.


1t is not 50 easy to grasp the enormous
bulk Of the Australian continent-the prac-
tically unlimited space within which the
colony of VictOria--the smallest and at the
same time the most popular and highly de-
veloped of the continental group-is about
as large as great Britain. New South Wales
has an area five times that of England but
is not half so big as Queenland, and only
third Of the size of South Australia. West
ern Australia is even larger and more empty
of population After measuring acres with
South Australia it would have almost suffi-
cient land to furnish out New Zealand and
Tasmania, and yet New Zealand compares
in area with the British Islands, and Tas-
mania is, nearly as large, as Scotland The
acreage under crop in the Australian colo
nies in 1880 was 6,500,O0O acres That seems
q respectable total, yet it seems ridicnlously
small when we compare with it the illimita-
BILE extent of land yet lying waste. To take
the case of New South Wales, while
there are 635,OO0 acres in cultivation and
17,500000 acres inclosed, there are 100000
600 acres, much of it excellent land, still un-
alienated Even at the present rapid rate
at which the land is being fenced, it will oc-
cupy 180 years to dispose of it all. This
colony alone contained the extraordinary
number of 80 100000 sheep in 1880, besides
2,5SO,OOO cattle and nearly 100000 horses.
Before the close of the next decade it is ex-
pected that the sheep stock of New South
Wales will run to between 100000 and
5O,000O0O head. s.Haa .ats. fl

The Hour of Fate.

NIr. S. Holton, a jeweler and matchmaker,
of Middlebury, vt, has recently constructed
a curious clock, which acts out the assassi-
nation of President Garfield. The machine
is common cuckoo clock under which is a
miniature depot. At one window is a ticket
agent dealing out tickets, while at another a
telegraph operator is seen busy at his work
and truckmen, porters, train dispatchers etc,
are all flying around as natural as life. All
Of these figures are of wood, about two in
ches long At the end of each hour the
cuckoo announces the fact, and Immediately
a figure of President Garfield appears ON the
platform on which the scene is enacted, ac-
companied by Mr.. BIaine.9 Guiteau is seen
to follow him, having just alighted from q
truck wagon, and as he fires at the Presi-
dent the latter falls. Just then a train of cars
comes dashing in, and in the confusion the
principal actors are carried into the depot
out of sight After the train dispatcher has
given the signal and the train has gone, d
small door at the left opens and priest APP
pears, book in hand, in the, act of reading a
funeral service, while at tie same time an
other door at the right opens and Guiteau
appears ON the gallowss III The priest retires,
and shortly after the gallows disappear with
Guiteau, and the doors close. : This is acted
out at the end of each hour. and takes
about three minutes. Nh. Horton is quite q
noted inventor, but this seems to be his
masterpiece.
