Why Printers are Cynical.

/ The other day Istood within the composing
room of great daily newspaper. There was
nothing to delight the eye-no pictures, stat
ues or sumptuousi furniture. Serious looking
men were standing before their eases so FIX
eddy that nothing less than the falling of the
roof would have distracted their attention.
Scarcely sound was audible but the fam,
click of type falling into place. never be-
fore realized so forcibly the cause why news
paper printers are, as it is said naturally
cynical. To-day they set up the type that
tells the world of rejoicings and fcstivty, to.
morrow the same type is made to proclaim
disaster and mourning; the same type whicl
carries to 10000 homes the inaugural message
OF the ruler of 500OO,090 Of people has not

 The thing worked well. as they were near neighbors, and they talked the thing over every night for month.
 One dark night last week, one of the number heard noise on the front win- dow.
 He hastily jumped into his clothing and ran out of his rear door, jumped over the fence, and rapped three times on the basement window of another mem ber's house Jus; then he heard some one say Sick him. Tige." and. fear ing he had been taken tor burglar, made break for the fence, but not any too soon. as Tige had been on the alert. and succeeded in getting mouthful of pantaloons.
 Over the fence wen, the vigilante, and soon appeared a, the door of another members house. Here he scratched softly. three times and. hearing noise of clicking revolver. again fiew the wig ilante. over fences. barns. etc. through alleys, until he reached his own house. With a ca:-like tread he sneaked along up the steps, and had commenced to try the windows and door. to see If the bur glars had been successful. when three bulldogs darted out. and attacked him from all sides Bing bang. bang wen, some pistols from neighboring windows. The thing vas getting hot. The dogs chawed him all over. and soon would have finished him. bu, one dog go; the other deg by the leg. by mistake, and they got up fight among themselves, during which time the vigilante succeeded in getting into the house, badly-used- up man.
 It afterwards transpired, that when he scratched on the back doors of the other members houses, each thought it was burglars. They slid out of the front doors, and went for the others, and when they saw the first member proving around. examining his own windows, they let out their dogs. with the above re- sult. The committee disbanded the next day.
