When the cooking is finished. the huge
carcase is gaily decorated with rosettes
carved out of vegetables, and strewn
with flowers. 1t is then borne in tri-
umph to the banQuet.table, to be greet
ed with cheers by the expectant guests,
and a flourish by the band. White
aproned caryers, armed with keen
knives, make a valiant onslaught, sup
plying plate after plate with rare, juicy
slices of roast beef in all it's glory. Beer
casks are broached. The flaming tank
ard fanks the smoking plate. The
feast goes n,errily on, and ere long the

THE THUNDERER's ORIGIN.

John Walters Cranky Paper that Be-
came the London Times.
From James Parton's Captains of Industry. j
The starting of this great newspaper
80 years ago was a mere incident III the
development of another business.
Almost every one who has stood in a
printing office watching compositors set
type must have sometimes asked him
self, Why not have whole words cast to-
aether instead of obliging the printer to
pick up each letter separately? Such
words as ''and,"" "the," ""but," ,""if," lis, ="
and even larger words. like although"
and Notwithstanding" occur very often
in all compositions. How easy it would
be, inexperienced persons think, to take
up long word, such as "extraordinarv,"
and place itin position at one stroke!
In the year 1885 there was printer
named John Walter, well established in
business. who was fully resolved on CIV
ing the system trial. At great expense
and trouble he had all the commonest
words and phrases cast together. He
would give his type founder an order
like this: "Send me hundredweight,
made up in separate pounds, of heat.
cold, wet, drv, murder, fire, dreadful
robbery, atrocious outrage, fatal calam-
ity and alarming explosion" This sys-
tenn he called Geographic printing. In
order to give publicity to the new sys-
tenn, OH which he held a patent, as well
as to afford it fuller trial, he started a
newspaper, which he called the Daily
Universal Register. The newspaper
had some little success from the begin
ming, but the Geographic system would
not work. Not only did the cempositors
place obstacles in its way, but the sys-
tenn itself presented difficulties which
neither John Walter nor any subsequent
experimenter has heen able to sur
mount.
"The whole English language" said
Walter in one of his numerous addresses
to the public, clay before me in con-
fused arrangement. 1t consisted of
about 80, 900 words. This multitudinous
mass l reduced to about 5000 by sepa.
rating the parcels and removing obsolete
words, technical terms and common
Examinations" After years of labor
this most resolute and tenacious man
was obliged to give it up; 1t was too ex-
pensive, too cumbersome, too difficult.
1t required vast amount of space, and,
in short, it was system which could
not and cannot lie worked to profit.
But though the topographic printing
was failure, the Daily Universal Regis
ter was more and more successful. 1t was
a dingy little sheet about twice as large
as sheet of foolscap, wit hout a word of
editorial. and containing small number
of well-selected paragraphs and news.
1t had also occasionally a short notice
of the plays of the night before, and a
few items of what we now call society
gossip. The advertisements, after the
paper had been in existence three years,
averaged about so day, most of them
very short. Its price was threepence,
English, equal to about II cents of our
present currency. The paper upon
which it was printed was coarse and
cheap. In the third year of its exls-
tence, on Jan. l, 17SS, the name was
changed to the Times.

About !Barbecues.

The kind of feast which we call "a
barbecue" had an origin that was any
thing but festive. If we may judge by the
derivation of the name, which comes
from the West Indian word barbacoa,
meaning the furnace or crate formerly
used by the Caribs for torturing their
prisoners of war. AS introduced into
the Southern and Western, and more
recently into the Middle, States, the
barbecue is very innocent and whole
some amusement, the only victim roast
ed being a fat OK. The primitive
Southern method of performing this
gigantic culinary feat was to suspend
the carcase on rude spit over pit
filled with live Goals. But we live in an
age of progress, and the art of barbecu-
ing has not remained stationary. The
mountain of beef is now dealt with in
thoroughly scientific manner-cooked
by machinery, as it were. There is a
vast oven of sheet-lron, not unlike the
peanut roaster of the sunny Italian on
the street-corner, only about 200 times
as large as that interesting invention,
being ten feet long. nine high, and four
wide. Lengthwise through this oven
runs an iron cylinder, upon which is
secured, with skewers and chains, the
dressed carcase of the OK. An animal
which tips the beam at. say, $4,000
pounds ''in his Clothes" weighs 500
pounds on the spit, and is calculated to
srtisfy the appetites of 5000 beef-eaters.
Whether he does or not, we are less
positive. Four furnaces # glowing
Goals are placed on the ground at the
four corners of the oven. and under
meath the OK are large pans to catch the
drippings. The delicious contents OF
these pans Is from time to time dipped
out with long ladle and poured over
the Brobdignagian roast by one Of the
sable chefs, while another slowly turns
the spit by means of gigantic crank.
To haye the OK "done brown" six or
eight hours are required, and the roast
ing is usually done during the night.

The case tried at the Birkenhead
police court recently is pregnant with
interest, not only to the carrying trade
of this, but also to the meat consuming
mass of the country. Certainly every
precaution should be taken, and no
doubt is being taken, to prevent the in
PRODUCTION of disease into British herds
and flocks from the United States; at the
same time due care should be taken.
considering the enormous interests
which are involved, that thoroughly
competent and unbiased officials should
have the regulation of traffic. The evil
dence given before the magistrate at
Birkenhead, Mr.. Preston, reveals q
rather anomalous state of affairs. The
first witness examined, Mr.. Gregory,
stated that he seized the carcass of the
bullock which was landed from the
steamer Norseman, but he admitted that
judging from the appearance of the car.
cass alone, he would have passed the
beef as sound, and there, evidently, as
meat inspector, his functions ended; at
the same time he was bold enough to
state that it was case of Texan fever,
and attempted to describe the symp-
toms. Upon cross-examination, how
ever. he had to admit that he was not
competent authority to judge any kind
of cattle disease from the viscera, and
that such functions must be left to the
veterinary authorities. Here, then, is
a man in authority who siezed meat,
who, upon his own statement, is unqual-
flied for such position. It is stated
that Texan fever cannot exist in this
country, and we believe the expert
inents which have been made with live
animals at the Birkenhead Lairages
have proven this fact. It is stated in
America that the disease cannot exist
north of latitude As. Mr.. Moore, the
privy council inspector at this port, to
whom the seizure of the meat in ques-
ton is attributed, was nearly destroying
the cattle trade from the Dominion of
Canada in August last, when he detained
several cargoes of Canadian cattle. The
high commissioner for the Dominion of
Canada and the trade, however, was
represented, and the leading veterinary
authorities from all parts of the king
dom was called in. when MIR. Moore had
to admit that his opinion was not based
upon fact. 1t is rather curious to remark
that while the cattle trade interests of
the Dominion of Canada were so vel,
taken care of, the United States author
tiles have not thought fit to be repre-
resented in cases such as this.

October Dreams.

MRS. D. M. JORDAN, IN THE CURRENT.
To-day l walked among the fading fields,
Gay bordered with the autumn tinted flowers,
And with retrospective gaze, l seemed
To borrow from the past some happy hours.
And one was with me who is now no more,
Except sacred memory fraught with pain
For lost faith that died within my heart
And that no time could e'er renew again.
The yellow glory of the golden-rod
Is just as bright as in those radiant days,
When needless of the happy feeting hours,
We roamed together through the pleasant ways
But I am changed, miss the olden JOY
That came with autumn brilliant tinted leaves
They whisper now of things too bright to last
And of the faded fields and garnered sheaves.
For, let the hearts fond idols turn to dust
Whether by broken faith or deaths decay,
No after glory of the earth can bring
The gladness of the sweet remembered day.
And so this morn I saw through binding tears,
The bright cloud-chariots in the sunny sky,
And in my soul tho bitter cry found voice,
Alas! that love and faith should ever die.

The ELECTION Gall.

The Board Of County Commissioners of
Eureka met yesterday morning at 9
o'clock-an hour earlier than noted in the
minute Of adjournment-to consider again
whether the notice Of the forthcoming
general election should be ordered at once
and the Assessors Office omitted there
from-all of which was determined AZ
frmatively by the unanimous vote Of the
Board. 1t was understood by the Board,
however, and so expressed, that in case
the Supreme Court should not act on the
prepared test case in time go days before
%electionl. they would issue another legal
and proper notice, including the Assessors
Office On the list Of offices to be filled by
the election in November. The Board re-
ceived the assurance from Assessor Wallace
and Hon. George W. Baker that, according
10 the best of their knowledge and belief,
the Supreme Court could be expected to
give it's decision in the premises in ample
time. II the Court should fail to do so the
matter will then be as it o is. The
papers in the case we're forwarded to Car

The Argus mill will not start up until
the fret OF next month, when everything
will be in readiness for a long run.
The Republicans held their primaries
here this afternoon. A. G. Cleveland was
the only candidate in the field for dele
gate to the State Convention.
The News says close political tigurers
now estimate the vote Of White Pine at the
| coming election at 600. We think, how
ever, it will fall below these figures.
1t now looks like the Democratic County
Convention will be held in Taylor. Jack
Wheatley left to-day to attend the meeting
OF the Democratic County Central Com
mittee at Cherry Creek, armed with
enough proxies to dictate terms.
Johnny Brown has received a letter from
Archie Monroe, Calico, Aug. 8, stating
that 200 men are employed in the King,
Garfield and other mines in thai district.
1t is a 3-dollar camp, and the. best in that
section. All business in overdone.
The infant son Of Patrick and Mary
Keegan died in Taylor on the 18th, and
was followed out of town by a large num-
Der of our residents on the way to Cherry
Creek, tho day following, where it was
buried. This is the first death in Taylor.
The ore body in the Neptune shaft is
still between nine and ten feet wide,
and has improved in quality since our last
visit, and the prospect is good for a still
larger body. Another cave has been
struck, hanging from the roof of which
are stalaetites Is inches in length. The
Neptune is certainly a very promising
prospect at present.
