The number OF type, says some writer
used IN an ordinary newspaper is about
100000; that is, the actual number of bits
Of metal arranged for each newspaper in
preparing newspaper OF that size for the
press. We suppose few people think OF
the printing trade as one os the most exact
and particular handicrafts but 1t is. In
making type, variations that might be al
lowed in the finest machinery, would rem
der type useless. II Is very rarely that
type furnished by two separate foundries
can be used together without Il great deal
of trouble, even though they should try to
make il after the standard. We read once
in while of wonderful piece OF cabinet
or mosaic work ontaining ten, twenty OF
fifty thousand pieces, the maker OF which
has spent months or even years OF labor in
producing it 1; and the people go to see it
AS curiosity. But the most elaborate and
carefully fitted piece of work of this kind
ever made does not compare for minute
ness Of detail and accuracy OF fitting with
that which the printer does every day
The man who does the first is looked upon
as marvel OF skill, and il one hundred o
his pieces are put IN wrong side up OF
turned around II il not noticed IN the gen
eral effect; but il printer, in fitting ter
times as many pieces together in n singl,
day, puts one the wrong way, everybod,
sees II and is amazed at the Stupid care
lessness Of those printers"

A PARTING WORD.

Elsewhere have we endeavored to express
beGtting sentiments touching loss which
a nation feels and which city makes es-
pecially its own. But rs the clay OF the
departed still fingers above the sod, calm
and soldierly even in death, we too linger,
for word of adieu. Four short weeks
ago General Steedman walked the streets
of our city with that erect figure and firm
tread which characterized n physique OF
surprising strength and manlness. He
superintended the duties of his Office, and
impressed his opinions upon the public
through these columns with that force and
precision which carried conviction to 9th
era because impelled by his own. His ca.
pacious and active intellect had never been
suffered to rust, and in the fruitful autumn
Of his 9th year, it had acquired the ma.
turi,y of ripened experience, without
losing the vigor OF his younger days.
The Hero of Chicamauga did not sur.
render to old age, for, though approaching
that wintry period, he did not reach it. He

ABOUT EVOLUTION AND SO FORTH

There are many eredulous people who
accept new theories with great avidity,
even though they have nothing but con-
lecture and assumption to stand on. Espec
tally IA this the case with the theory of
Evolution. Because evolution within GER
tain well defined limits, is n fact in the
operations OF nature, II is assumed TO be a
universal fact withou. limitation, and on
the basis Of this assumption, some scien-
ufic men have worked themselves up into
the belief that all animals were evolved
from lower types, and that man himself
was evolved from the ape.
Some time ago, the Victorio Philosophi.
cal Institute OF London appointed COM
mission TO make a thorough review of the
entire discussion OF Evolution to consider
and weight all the alleged evidence that
has been accumulated throughout the
world in its favor, up to the present time,
and report the result to the Institute. The
investigation thus authorized was made by
Prof Stokes, F. Il. s. Sir, /. r. Bennett,
vice-pre-idene OF the Royal Society, and
Prof Beae, f. r. S. These are gentlemen
OF well known scientific atainments and
standing, and thoroughly competent to
deal with the subject committed TO their
examination. They have made their re-
port, and they sum up the result as follows:
THAT as yet, no scientific evidence has been
met with, giving cnuntenance to the theory
That man has been evolved from the lower or
der oi animals; that Pref Vrchnw had de-
| ciared that there was complete absence of any
FOSSIL type OF lower stage IN the development
of man; and that anv positive advance in the
province OF prehistoric anthrnpoogy has ao
| tually removed us further from proofs Of such
| connection namely with the rest of the animal
Kingdom. In this. Prof. Barrande, the grea
paaontologist, had cnncurred. declaring tha
IN none oi his investigations had he found a ny
one FOSSIL species developed into another. IL
tact u would seem that scientific man haC
vet discovered link between man aud the ape
between fish and frog, or between the vertebrate
and the imvertebrate animals. Further, Their
was nu evidence of anv one species, fossil o
other, losing its peculiar characteristics to ac
qulre new ones belonging to other species 70
| instance, however similar the dog to the wolf
there was no connecting link between them
and among extinct species the same was tn
case there was no gradual passage from on
to another. Moreover, the first animals tina
existed Oh the earth were by no means to b,
considered as inferior or degraded"
This is negative evidence OF the mos
positive kind, and it demonstrates that tn
Darwinian utlonists-Atheistic, Az
nostic, or Christian-have no basis of fac
to support their theories. Yet credulor
persons (mscalled skeptics) will continu
to have more faith in the speculations an
improved theories of some scientists, tha
in the we II esta blished facts of science, an
the well.known laws, processes and limits
tions of nature. Verify, the credulities
the so-called skepfics are marvellous

"No Hope Of PacillcalIon.U

Under this head the following extract
from an editorial written by General James
b. Steedman and published in the Toledo
Herald and Times, December 81, 1860, will
fully show that the old Generals patriotism
could be relied upon in the exciting days
Of go and '6l when the country was in need
Of patriots;
the last ray Of hope is gone, and the
shock ofarms, which we predicted imme-
diately after the Presidential election, ap-
pears TO be inevitable. 1t is lamentable-
momrnful -frighlful TO contemplate, but
nothing short of the arm Of Omnipotenee
can avert il. We have had no part In pre-
eipitating the dreadful conflict. We spoke
against il. wrote against IL, voted against il;
but il there is no escape from it-if il must
come--if Il cannot be ayerted, We go for
"our country, right or wrong" No flag
but the "star spangled banner" ofour coun.
try shall ever wave over our head on a
battle. field, and that starry banner will not
appeal in vain 10 the sons of The men of iron
nerves and fearless hearts, whose patriot
ism, and courage aud sacrifices established
il as the emblem of the power oi great
and free people. We predicted also. that the
American who raised his hand agninst the

TRUTH VERIFIED
What we Said Of the Toledo Reapcrs
and flowers Last Spring fnlly
Substantinted by Practical
Tests.

Mr.. Edward w. DeVorna, a practical
and thrifty farmer who resides about FIVE
miles southeast Of Perrysburg, had two
new Champion Mowers on his farm this
season--iront aud rear cut. They failed to
handle his heavy grass satisfactorily, and
when il came to cutting his mammoth clo'
yer Mr.. DeVerna became 30 thoroughly
disgusted with the working OF the Cham
plons that he had almost dispsrcd OF saw
ing TINT fine crop.
While in this state OF mind lie met Mr..
II. p. Crosby, local agent Tor the Toledo
Mower & Reaper Company, and was in
duced TO give the Toledo a trial, with the
understanding that the work wNs to be
done to his satisfaction. He consented to
give il trial. The Toledo was soon on
the ground and reported for duty. Mr.,
DeVerna and some OF his neigbbors were
present to witness the test, and all, except
for the machine to cut and handle such q
tangled mass OF clover. But the Toledo
rolled TO the work with such stately air
that its very appearance began to create
confidence among the spectators. Yet the
peoples favori,e had failed-how could
this new candidate for honors and patron
age do bettcr2 Well, we will see. Al
ready Go! The confidence inspired by II
mere glance at the Toledo now changed TO
expressions Of delight, such as, "The best
machine ever saw" etc. But when one
horse was unhi,ched and the other left to
do the work alone-just think Of ii, one
horse stepping off easily with machine
that was working in heavy clover seed.
While this was being done the enthusi
astic expressions in favor Of the Toledo
were such rs 10 show that the new machine
had made indelible Impressions, and that
it had come TO stay, and all who saw the
Toledo at work on that day were lavish il
their praises of the work il accomplished
and came away to tell OF its marveou
ability.
We speak of this to advise all our peo
pie who are in want Of the best make O
machines to not think of making a pu,
chase until you have tested the merits o
D the Toledo with other machines. Beside
= il is 70 near us that we are disposed to re

CONQUERED AT LAST!


The people OF Winchester did not know
of any such intentions, and they stood
amazed.
'You have indeed conquered u.s." was
the remark Of n citizen that night.
In the evening multitude hocked to
the camp ground from the city and from
the country around, who made the wekin
ring with joy, which brought abont such
lrnternizaton, such good cheer, that, as one
OF the ex-Comledera ties said TO one Of his
gallant comrades; "At the beginning OF
the evening. II asked how many States
there were in The Union, would have re-
sponded thirty-eight, but before the even
ing WAS over | would have sworn there
were l53, and that they would stay in the
Union forever"
Probably not less than 5000 persons
were on the ground enjoying the speeches,
songs and stories, which were rehearped
alike by Union and Confederate. Raptu.
rous was the applause over the song, "Tent.
ing on the Old Camp Ground" in n new
version, written for the occasion by q. W.
Powers, Of Boston, aud sung by quarette
OF ladies and gentlemen. There were tear
