How to Act in a Printing Office.

l. When you enter the door cast your
eye around for the place where the type is.
Go there, and lean up against it and make
some pi. This always pleases the editor, as
it will take printer three hours to arrange
it after you 60.
3. Ask the printer how in the world 1t ia
that he can handle the type in that way,
and say that you couldn't learn it in thous-
and years.
3. Ask whether the type is made of Ger
man silver or pot metal. All printers, you
know, are supposed to have been born in o
type foundry.
4. Go and look at the type that has Just
been put on the galley, and feel of it to see
if it will stand up. Of course it will fall
down and then you must look the other way
with foreign expression on your face.
s. Ask the editor the news.
6. Tell the editor that his paper is not as
good as the New York Sum- and ask him
what makes his paper cost 81 a year when
you can get the N. Y. Sun at one dollar
Z. Walk up and pull the copy off the
hook and read it. Editors like for every
body to know what's to be in the next pa
per.
8. Say something funny about the boy
in the Office playing the devil"
8. Ask the editor how many subscribers
he has
10. Go through the exchanges and ask if
the editor isn't through with this batch of
papers.
IL. When you go to leave ask the editor
for copy of the last issue and tell him that
if you like it you may subscribe. As pa
pers cost the enormous sum of five cents
each to buy one might bust you.
IL. Bring the editor q ten cent water

impressions. By the advice Of physicians,
Miss Fox came to Texas three years ago, ono
the presence of very dear friend hero
caused her to mike this her principal
place of sojourn. The note of warning
which had impelled her to como, during the
following winter was dispelled by her al
most perfect restoration to health. She
found it expedient to return for the two
following winters, however, the former fav-
orable effect ceasing to follow, and when
she left for home the last time, in May of
this year, there was no longer any hope Of
her recovery. Her circle Of friends here,
and at Austin, and San Antonio, have there
fore, heard the news of her death with more
Of regret than surprise.
Miss Fox was born lady, not only In
manners, but in her consideration Of the
feelings and wishes of others Her mind
and character were singularly we'll poised.
She possessed large fund of sound COM
mon sense, and was good judge of human
nature. She was alike distinguished for
her fine domestic and business qualifications.
At an early period she conducted the do
