THE DEMAND FOR COMPETENT
PRINTERS.

We take the remarks printed below
from the StereOWper The room they
occupy will not be wasted if, by their
publication, one worker in our art be-
comes possessed with new ambition to
excel: There is a growing demand for
printers to take responsible positions,
as foremen, superintendents, etc, but
the reply to all such demands is that
the men TO. the places are difficult to
find. Skilled workmen there are in
various special kinds of work; but not
so the men capable Of assuming the
direction of the work of others in a
manner to produce the best results.
The fault for this lies with the printers
themselves for the most part, because
they will not take the pains to learn
anything more than the kind of work
they are likely to be called upon 10 do.
Ask them to arrange al Office so as to
best utilize the room and the facilities
at their command, and they will be
completely at sea. If they are called
upon to make a selection of materials
for new concern-or even for an old
one-they will fire at random and omit
numberless things that are of daily
necessity, and get others of little use.
Yet skill in these and thousand other
things is necessary to him who would
better his position and become anything
more than journeyman. They are
only to be learned by constant and
Intelligent observation of the successes
and errors of others, and continual
study of various details outside the
routine of type-setting and machine
minding."

COSTLY BUILDINGS

opposite Booths Theater, containing a
few small halls, cost 81, 800, 900. The
French Government spent on the new
Paris Postofice S6,OOO,O 900; the United
States the same on the New York Post
Office, and S2,0S0,507 on the Boston
Federal building. The Hotel de Vile
in Paris was put up for 5000, 900; the
"new'' Court House in New York cost
So, G00,000 to S13, 100000, one-third or
more stolen; and Philadelphia is rapidly
laying away the cost of the Partisan
building in the gigantic pile which is to
house its City Government. The British
House Of Parliament cost, many years
ago, SIT, 1000; the Capitol at Albany
viii cost more before the State finishes
il, and in its unfinished condition has
already cost a large fraction of this sum.
The English Foreign Office, recently
Quilt, cost s., $780, 900; the State Depart

approaching completion, cost in all
$1,000, 600, which is about equaled by

her recital, and held out her hand with
her own winning frankness.
"The last week of the year expired

able sparkle of triumph in her handsome

"With all my heartr cried the IN

He caught Grace's pretty, unreluctant

to his lips, with smile quite as trium-

intense and mischievous meaning was
not explained until after the quiet we'd

Grace submitted with the best humor
possible; she had tested Franks love
and gained her own end, and all was
bright before her inexperienced eyes.
After the wedding, Frank asked his
bride:

choice of poverty, and glad that your
marriage occurred to-day instead of a

A Poor IRON MINE. on Lake
Champlain can hardly have failed to no.
tice a mine opening on the side of Split
Rock Mountain. with dock at the waters
edge, and big boarding house we'll up
toward the top of the mountain. This
"mine" was first discovered many wears
ago, and has changed hands many times,
it having long ago come to be considered
as practically worthless on account of its
containing from 10 to Is per cent of titan
ic acid, while iron needs only about two
per cent of that malign ingredient to spoil
it. About 1870 John Brdford of Albany,
with two men by the name of Randall, also
of Albany, got possession of this mine, and
tried to BOOM it under the sounding
name of the "Champlain Shore Iron
Mountain Company" By some means
they induced Senator Isiah Blood of Sara
toga to embark in the enterprise, and sub
sequently Boss Tweed put about 100000
into the treasury of this great Iron com.
pany for opening the wealth of the great
Iron Mountain. Tweed was advised bv
Northern New York iron men that the
mine was worthless. and TO have nothing
to do with the enterprise. but he put in his
cash, and for n time Richard, Tweed,
Bridgford and the Randalls made things
lively on this part of Split Rock Mountain
building docks, opening the shaft, and
erecting palatial boarding house. But
the dividends never came in, and the bot
tom soon dropped out of the concern, and
nothing has been done for years; and an
experienced iron man says until they get
so that they can treat titaniferous ores the
mine will not be as good as a limestone
ledge" The property is now undergoing
the process of litigation, Mr.. Andrew Hun
ter, of New York having some time ago
brought a suit and obtained Judgement
against the company, to recover SIS, 900
which he loaned TO it, aud having bought
in the property at the mortgage sale.

Of all the attempts which have been
made of late to utilize the wonderful
resources of electricity for domestic pur-
poses. none have been more strikingly
successful, and few are so interesting to a
wide range of readers, as the new inven.
ton of the Portable Electric Light Compa-
ny, whose mandatory, at 10 Water
Street, is now a scene of the greatest
activity, both day and night. The instru-
ment from which this company takes its
name is small and compact piece of
mechanism, occupying space only five
inches square and it can be readily carried
from room to room, as it weighs but five
pounds. 1t Is so constructed as to furnish
electricity whenever desired for large
number of important and constantly
recurring domestic uses. When provided
with simple window. safe or door attach
ments, it serves as an unfailiug and start
ling alarm, the trespasser being confront
ed with light and bell instantly, and is
equally adapted for the ordinary uses of a
call bell. As lighter, it is perfect, being
capable of producing instantaneous light
in any part of the house. by adjustments
furnished by the company. 1t can also
be attached to medical galvanic coil by
which a powerful current of electricity
can be conveyed. Many prominent
business men are interested in the compa-
ny. which was Incorporated under the laws
of Massachusetts, and is enjoying already
u most gratifying success. Orders or
inquiries should be addressed to the bust.

Had not the large.minded EN- perors
Alexander I. and III. tolerated the publ
cation and sale Of Russian New Testamen
many more years might have elapsed
before the lower classes in Russia could
have discovered the knowledge which
their church had carefully hidden from

tots, Esquimaux, or South Sea Islanders.
Won der Briggen relates a remarkable
circumstance which he gathered from the
lips of a landed proprietor. One day the
latter heard from one of his men, who had
ridden as fast as he could to bring the
news, that a great brawl was going on in
a neighboring village. Carts full of
"Stundisten" had arrived and were being
attacked with oudgels and stones. The
country gentleman rode up to the spot
and found that these Muscovite Metho-
dists had slowly driven up TO the village
and through the streets, singing psalms.
These were the people whom the priest
had always held up as enemies of God and
the church, and frequenters of taverns and
pothouses. Hence the new corners were
received with SCOTS and jeers, and ordered
10 depart. AS they did not obey the crowd
proceeded to hustle them about and to
throw stones at them. Tho converts did
not defend themselves or give blow for
blow. They avoided angry words and
calmly continued to chant. The narrator
arrived in timc to prevent worse from
happening and to establish order. He
witnessed how moro than one OF the
Orthodox peasants was SO forcibly struck
by the behavior of the Salvationss as to
fall on his knees and looked after them as
if they had been real saints of his own
church. Two days later the whole village
had gone over to the sect Of Stundiss.

1t would seem that the old story of ali
the efforts of Irishmen against England
was re-enacting-that there is always a
traitor in the Irish councils who betrays
his fellows to the English. 1t is now said
that the English government was inform.
ed of every step of the dynamite conspira.
tors from the first; knew when they left
this country and when they landed al
Liverpool. This is a sad commentary
on the Irish character, and yet il
has everbeen the case that the endeav-
ors of the greatest of her sons in
her behalf leave her frustrated by trail
tors within her camp. Not that the
dynamitards (the latest phrase) are to be
classed as patriots BY such men the
cause of Ireland-a good one, and deserv-
Ing of success. as Macaulay and hundreds
of other intelligent Englishmen, long ago
confessed, is brought into discredit, and in
stead of the sympathy bids fair to earn the
execration of the civilized world. What
Ireland needs is practical work in her
behalf, which Mr.. Parnell seems to be
doings, and in which he can succeed, if he
is not discredited by miscreants and
"cranks" this side of the water.

diedSeargent-at-arms Bright received an
application for the vacancy. Col. Bright
read the recommendation and said at
once: VERY well, you can have the

astonshed, and asked, "When can take
hodp' You can begin to-day" said
Col. Bright; "but first let me explain the
situation. You see, when Mr.. St. John
was buried, it left his $1,000 place vacant.
The next man under him, a very capable
man, receiving 5000, was promoted. A
laborer next below him, at 1920, stepped
into the 5000 place, and a man
under him was then lifted lit
tle-and SO on through the whole list,
until the place really left vacant by the

The supreme executive magistrate of
Massachusetts is haviJga great refreshing.
He has many quarrels on hand and makes
as much noise as he did at Fort Fisher
and isn't getting "bottled up" at all. 1t is
a very funny thing that he should get into
a fuss with Frank B. Sanborn over a
minor matter as 10 the attorney generals
giving the board of health, lunacy and
charity advice. He has made very
healthy breeze about the Tewksbury
almshouse and has the good will of all
decent people in his honest efforts to have
things better managed. But he gets ter
ribly mad about matters that are of no
great account and for that matter they all
appear to be getting pretty mad down
Boston way. Thomas Talbot, ex governor
and present chairman of the board with a
long name appears to keep his back bone
and temper tied together about the best of
any of them. And indeed Butler, Talbot
and Sanborn, all of them appear to want
about the same kind of thing for Tewks-
bury only they have dreadful time with
each other. Either of the three would
make good superintendent, take care of
the interests of the poor and of the state.
But they don't drive we'll hitched in the

set therein. 1 had no vines that grew
more thriftily than did these. set
bushes up round the edge of the barrels
and the shoots grew 3 feet long before l
pinched off the ends. They grew all over
the bushes. and the blossoms and cucum-
bers were very pretty and abundant. l
shall try the experiment again this year.
The vines are so handy, right at the door.
perhaps they received more showing; but
they did splendidly and were much larger
and thriftier than those set in the garden.
