A BOON TO PUBLISHERS.
An Invention That Will Be of Great Benefit
to Newspaper People.

All newspaper publishers whose circulation is
handled by news companies aud agents, from
whom they redeem all unsold papers, and news
companies themselves have for years under
stood the value OF some machine or method
which would prevent news agents returning
papers which had once been sold. The loss from
this source TO the leading papers and periodicals
of this country does not fall far short of a million
dollars annually. Train boys and hotel ser
wants gather up every loose paper they can find
and in time it is returned to the publisher or
news company for redemption,
Mr.. ]. 81. Woodland, of this city, has just been
granted two patents, one covering the machine
for sealing, the other tor seal newspapers
and periodicals. which will effectually break mp
the practice of returning unsOld papers. The
machine is very SIMPLE and can be attached TO
the folding machine, or can be run independent
of it. II pastes slip of colored paper, bearing
the seal of the office using it, the free edges
of the newspaper, so that the buyer cannot read
his paper without breaking the seal. One of
these machines is now being built for the Jour
nal, and another for the Cincinnati Enquirer.
The inventor has a large market ready at haLd
and as the machines can be bniit at small cost,
his bonanza Is one that publishers can readily
appreciate.

character sketches, whose homely sentiment
and fidelity tc nature appealed most forclbly to
all classes. OF these, his Betsy and are out"

slightly tinged with gray, is combed smoothly
back. and this, combined with the somewhat
CLERICAL cut of his clothes, gives him rather the
appearance of n wel-to-dO young minister on q

make every body else feel as pleasant as posi-
