THE EARLY DAYS OF PRINTING.

There is an old story about Faust, the
associate of Gutenberg, the inventor Of
printing, which, whether true or false,
well illustrates this. AS soon as the
Bible, which these two pioneers Of the
art had printed, was complete, Faust
took number of the copies to Paris to
sell. The first copy he sold TO the King
for 75O crowns, and another to the Arch
bishop for 600 crowns, and to less Illus
trious or less-worthy persons he sold
other copies for much smaller sums,
each one thinking he possessed a marvel
of penmanship. So delighted was the
Archbishop with his purchase that he
took it the King, who, in emulation,
produced his volume. In spite of differ
ences in the great initial letters, which
were painted by hand, the text in both
was found to identical, down to the
smallest details, which would be impos-
sible in books written by hand. Other
copies. too, it came to be known, had
been sold. There was 10 way Of account
ing for the mystery except by magic,
and poor Faust was committed to stand
his trial for sorcery, and.was imprisoned.
Only upon full disclosure Of his pro-
cess of printing, which had hitherto
been kept jealously secret, did he obtain
his liberty, and this he did not long enjoy,
dying shortly after of the plague, be-
fore he could return to his own country.

loudly they chuckled at the thought of

THEfLOST LEDGE.

THEfLOST LEDGE.
A few days since the Reveille
spoke Of the early days of Big creek
and of it, failarc ~ 3 mining camp.
Lodges were there but they were so
base that no known process could
make them profitable. and 80 Big
creek became deserted a. a mining
center. But the greatest failure or
rather mystery known in the annals
Of mining is the loss Of the Whit.
latch Union ledge. The mine is
over in Marshal cany on, not over q
mile and . half from town. In early
days it was discovered and opened
out. just imagine ledge between
seven and eight feet thick of 5000
ore! Yet fabulous as this seems,
the Whitla.ch Union had just such
q ledge. It was like mining $50
pieces. A fns hosting works was
erected, many men were employed,
the mine opened out systematically
and the owners were preparing to
sit back and enjoy themselves in
elegant ease. for nothing like it had
ever been heard Of before. Every
thing went along swimmingly for q
little while until one day the
miners came to q break in the ledge
It was a. good as ever up to the
break, but it suddenly stopped and
the break was As clean - if it had
been cut with q knife. Beyond aud
all around was nothing but barren
rock. OF course We can find it
again. thought tho owners, it has
only slipped off during some earth

tare. and . few days prospecting
will bring it to light. Full of this
idea they commenced prospecting
snd they kept prospecting antil
thousands Of feet of drifts and shafts
had been run and sunk and for
tunes spent. but still no ledge.
Nor has it been found to this day,
now many years after. A large

THE TELEGRAPH EXCITEMENT.
The Directors Consider the UntimeIy
Demands of the Operators.

New YORK, July IL.
prominent official of the Western Union
company says the operators demands are now
under consideration. The directors as body
are willing that certain of these demands
shall at once be complied with, but they
will strenucusly oppose the payment of the Is
per cent. increase. But even this, consider
ing other concessions they are willing to
make, is a large amount or extra paw.
The strikers have no good reason for their
action. There have been no recent advances
in the prices of provisions or rent. The
matter will be fully considered today, and
decision he rendered at an early moment.
The Western Union people say that the
printing operators will not strike, but will act
as they did in the last strike, namely, remain
with the company.
The Western Union officials state that tele-
grams purporting to come from Ames and
Cornell, two directors of the Western Union,
and advising compromise, were forgeries
No such despatches have been received.
The executive committee OF the Western
Union Telegraph Co. will meet tomorrow
and the petition Of the operators will then be
brought to consideration. One of the officers
OF the company said today it was impossible
to say what action would be taken. The
general opinion was that the demand was un-
reasonable and excessive, No action has
been taken bv the Western Union. American.

CHOLERA REPo9Ts.



ALEXANDRIA, July II.
The cholera is spreading generally through
out the country. The sanitary commission
is taking steps so IS to isolate Alexandra, IN
which q case thought to be cholera was an
nounced today. Twenty-eight deaths from
the disease occurred at Damietta yesterday,
80 At Mansurah and Is at Samanoud.

The sanitary commission is endeavorine to
purify Cairo and isolate houses where cholera
has appeared, but if the disease takes hrm
bold in the city it is probable it will be al
lowed to take its course, and general precau-
tions only will be taken to check its progress.
Baker Pssha, having expressed the opinion
that the cordons around the city are now use
less, they will probably be removed. There
is reason to believe that many scattered cases
will occur in the village, which the natives
will conceal to avoid the imposition OF cor
don.
