A Worker OF Miracles.

A worker of miracles has apl cared in
Brooklyn-Dr. F. Nfonck-who profess
es to cure diseases by prayer and laying
on of hands. He is long-haired Eng.
lishman, bearded and mustached, and
made up for mysterious effect. Last
Sunday he got three thousand people
into the Brooklyn Academy OF Music
and told them Of cures he had made of
paralysis, rheumatism. fevers, cross
eyes, &C., and all the while collection
was taken up. He then invited those
who we're sick and afflicted in the audi
ence to come forward, and half hum
bred came. They were apparently cured
by the manipulations of the doctor,
and seemed to rejoice. But the audience
only laughed at the proceedings, If the
age Of miracles is not past most of the
believers in the miracle.worker are
dead.

Mistakes in NeWsl,apers.

The Poughkeepsie Eagle in an article
on "fIow Mistakes Happen in Newspa-
pers," figures the number of type used
in q newspaper the size Of the Eagle at
600,000; that is the actual number OF
bits of metal arranged for each newspA
per in preparing q newspaper of tina
size for the press. We suppose few PEG.
pie think Of the printing trade as one OF
the most exactand particular handicrafts;
but it is. In making type, variations
that might be allowed in the finest ma
chinery would render type useless. 1t
is very rarely that type furnished bv two
separate found tries can be used togeth-
tn -ugh they should try to make it after
the standard. We read once in while
Ola wonderful piece Of cabinet or moea-
ic work containing 10, 20, or $1,000
pieces, the maker of which has spent
months or even years of labor in pro-
ducing It; and the people 60 to see it as
curiosity. But the most III ,borate and
carefully fitted piece OF work ofthis kind
ever made does not compare for minute
ness Of detail and accuracy Of fitting,
with hat which, the printer does every
day The man who does the first is
looked upon as marvel of skill. and if
hundred Of his pieces are put in wrong
side up or tnrred around, it is not no.
tjced in the general effect but if printer.
in fitting ten times as many pieces to-
Rether in a single day, puts one the
wrong way, everybody sees it and is
amazed at the ''stupid carelessness of
those, printers"
