A Thanksgiving Cake.

The editorial department OF the GA
HETfE was never more agreeably sur
prised than yesterday by the receipt o.
a magnificent and beautifully derora-
ted cake, sent with the best wishes
and compliments Of Mrs. Mary Wiley.
For some time it sat upon table, the
recipient of many an anxious, hungry
look until at last it became so irresist-
ably tempting that ii was cut. Now
that II Is gone we are tempted to cry
because we could not both keep and
eat 1t. Ba clus, in his m, 81 gorgeous
feast, never had anything more deli
cions, and the food of the gods could
not be more dainty than this exquisite
piece of pastry. We wish that Thanks
giving came once week aad that
cakes and compliments came with

Rabbi Schulz.

The GAZETTE had very pleasant
call from Rabbi Schulz of Dallas yes
terday, the reverend gentleman being
in the city to perform n w ddinS cere-
mony noted elsewhere in the A.
ZETTE. Rabbi Schulz has been mis-
represented, to some extent by the
GAZETTE ITSELF "a 10 his motive in
lecturing. The reverend gentleman
lost his library by fire, and when re.
qucsted by citizens of Texas towns to
lecture he consented, in order to raise
funds to replace his books. The drama
written by him was composed as n
response to the request of his cungre-
CATION at Dallas. This drama is found
cd upon social events, but by no word
refers to any person or thing, and the
reader of II could not tell that ii was
the expression of II bitter experience.
1t deals in the abstract with its
plot, Is entirely unobiectonable and
has been highly commended by COM
petcnt critics. 1t has not been given
to the publishers, as stated by GA
zEIrE correspondents, Rabbi Schulz
is II very intelligent gentleman and n
highly entertaining conversationalist.
He Is suffering yet from severe at
tack of pleurisy, and the GAZETTE
wishes him II speedy recovery. In
answer toa question the rabbi stated
that he was invited TO Terrell by over
fifty well-known citizens, who guaran-
teed II full house. Threatening wealth
er and business demands prevented
this, and the gentlemen offered to
make up the price of the house, ms
though the lecture had been delivered,
but, of course, the rabbi declined it,.

The Printers Devil.

If there is one boy in this world
who has a harder time than another,
he is unquestionably the imp who
does the Satan work in a printing
office and is known as the devil. His
path in life is very far from being
strewn with roses, or, for that mat
ter, either hollyhocks or sunflowers.
1t is usually spread pretty thlckly
with iron side sticks and hell boxes.
Look not upon the printers devil
when he is re within the face, when
he meveth himself Alright, for in the
end he stingeth like hot horseshoe
and biteth like patent medicine.
!, Q is just old fruit for the practical
printers, who are given TO playing
practical jokes on him at all hours OF
the day or night. They send him to
other printing offices after italic
spaces and nonpareil ninion wien
there are no such things known To
the craft. Ore in while the or
der is changed for strap oil, and
tLen the devil gets licking from
the official of the rival shop, who
give him all that his sulphurous
name implies.
He is invited to come and look at
the type-lIce, and while he is bend
ing over some dead or 'alive"
matter in cold type, the inhuman
exhibitor suddenly brings the wet,
I've soaked type together with a snap,
filling the DEVILS eyes with dirty
water and foarth-proof lye. The
printers ink electrotypes, pig and
horse cuts, and take impressions of
the same on the intantile features of
the new devil. His shirt looks like
a piece Of tripe, which has dropped
out of slaughter house ambulance
and been fished out OF the mud by
some thrifty scavenger You would
never know the devil when you saw
him again, as the Ink which envel-
opes his face is never laid on in the
same design two days alike. When
he has run errsnds, split wood, pared
potatoes, washed rollers and forms
and dishes and shoveled coal aad

The Farnham Type-setter.

The Hartford Courant publishes
the following. The statements will
be generally discredited by printers
at the present stage of development.
There have been a good many ma
chimes of the kind which sanguine
inventors believeu would do the bus.

come up tc the requirements: "At
last the Farnham type-setter, which
for the past eight years has been in
process of construction in private
quarters at Colts works, has been
perfected, and is now on exhibition
in a sto of the Goodwin bailding,
on Haines street. 1t is certainly a
wonderful machine, doing the work,
as its inventor claims, of five men.
1t is about the size of an ordinary
piano, with lettered keys, as the ope-
rator touches which the types take
their places with unfailing regulari-
ty. The work of distribution is
done STINT. .taneousiy with the type
setting and even more rapidly, so
that the cases are always full of
type. The chief difficulty hereto
tore has been in the justifying, but
this has been overcome, and is done
with twice the rapidity of the ordi
nary mode. The inventor, Mr.. Page,
believes that every obstacle has been
overcome, and that the machine is
now ready for the trade. Ii it really
proves to be as successful as it
seems to be, it will take rank with
the great labor-saving inYentions j.
