PRINTING.

Perhaps there is no other art that has
made such rapid strides in the past twenty
years as that Of printing in all its branches.
From the rude press of few years ago,
bearing strong resemblance to thresh-
ing machine, to the watch-like machinery
of the beautiful press of to-day is indeed
revolution. The old proverb necessity
is the mother of invention" is nowhere
better exemplified than in this case, for
the immense circulation of the modern
newspaper rendered it absolutely necessary
that press should be invented that would
print papers not by the hundred per hour,
but by the hundred per minute. Yes, the
perfecting press of to-day will print on
both sides, count and fold, over four
hundred papers per minute. So much for
the newspaper press. Now there are
numerous little presses of which the pub
lie know even less about than they do Of
the larger newspaper presses; yet these
little fellows play very important part
in the great drama of civilization. These
are job presses, as they are called, upon
which all business stationery, such as cards,
bills, letter and note heads, blanks of every
kind, labels, ETC., etc., are printed.
In all large cities there are one or more
immense printing houses capable of doing
all kinds Of printing, from wedding card
to a daily newspaper, with type enough
presses sufficient and printers plenty to
carry out the largest contract in the shortest
possible time. Such concern is that of
John F. Ely & Co., IS Congress street
west, Detroit, the largest and best app
pointed printing establishment in the State
Of Michigan. Messrs. Ely & Co. make
specially of book and pamphlet work and
are doing more in this particular branch
than any other house in the State. Every
new style of job type is purchased by this
concern as soon as it is placed upon the
market, thus guaranteeing their patrons
the latest and most beautiful designs.
Messrs. Ely & Co. invite correspon-
dence, and will be happy to furnish esti-
mates on any and all kinds of printing.
The firm extend a hearty invitation to
one and all to visit them when in Detroit

Kit Carson's biography.

He wrote his own biography and left
1t where the edition will never grow
dim. The alphabet he used was made
OF the rivers, the plains, the forests,
and the eternal heights. He started in
his youth with his face to the West;
started toward where no trails had
been blazed, where there was naught
to meet him but the wilderness, the
wild beast, and the still more savage
man. He made his lonely camps by
the rivers, and now it is fiction with
those who sleep on the same grounds
that the waters in their flow murmur
the great path-iinder's name. He fol-
lowed the water-courses to their sour
ces, and guided by them, learned
where the mountains bent their crests
to make possible highways for the feet
of men. He climbed the mountains
and disputed with the eagles of the
crags" for points of observations; he
met the wild beast and subdued him;
he met the savage of the plains and of
the hills, and, in his own person, gave
him notice of his sovereignty in skill.
in cunning and in courage. To the
red man he was the vol of fate. In
hin. they saw materialized foreboding
of their destiny. To them he was
voice crying the coming of race
against which they could not prevail;
before which they were to be swept
away.-SaH Lake Tribune.

No one would call the ancient Brah-
mans savages, and yet writing was UNI
known to them before the third century
b. G. Homer, quite apart from his
blindness, was certainly unacquainted
with writing for literary purposes. The
ancient inhabitants of Germany, as de-
scribed by Tacitus, were equally ignor-
ant of the art of writing as vehicle of
literature; yet, for all that, we could
not say with Gibbon, that with them
the nobler faculties of the mind had
lost their powers, the judgment had
become feeble, and the imagination
languid. And we find that the use of let
tiers is by no means an indispensable ele-
ment to true civilization, we should ar
rive at the same conclusion in examin-
ing almost every discovery which has
been pointed out as a sine qua non of
civilized life. Every generation is apt
to consider the measure of comfort
which it has reached as indispensable
to civilized life, but very often, in small
as well as great things, what is called
civilized to-day may be called barbar-
Gus tomorrow. Races who abstain
from eating the flesh of animals are apt
to look on carnivorous people as saw
ages; people who abstain from intoxi-
eating drinks naturally despise ma
ton in which drunkenness is preva-
lent. What should we say if we enter
ed town in which the streets were
neither paved nor lighted, and in which
the windows were without glass; where
we saw no carriages in any of the thor
oughfares, and where, inside the houses,
ladies and gentlemen might be seen
eating without forks and wearing gar
ments that had never been washed?
And yet even in Paris no street was
paved before 1885. In London Hol-
born was first paved in l417 and Smith
field in 1914, while Berlin was without
paved streets far into the seventeenth
century. No houses had windows of
glass before the twelfth century, and as
late as the fourteenth century anything
might be thrown out of the windows at
Paris after three times calling out
"Gare reau!" Shirts were an inven-
ton of the Crusades, and the fine dress
es which ladies and gentlemen wore
during the Middle Ages were hardly
ever washed, but only refreshed from
time to time with precious scents. In
1850 we are told that there existed in
Paris no more than three carriages
one belonging to the Queen, the other
to Diane de Poitiers, and the third to
Rene de Laval. In England coaches
ESQ called from the Hungarian kossD
date from 1880, though whirlicotes go
back to the fourteenth century. So far
as we know, neither Dante nor Be-
atrice used forks in eating, and yet we
should hardly class them as savages. -

The question of deep sinking for water in the

Supply department and of the Government for
some time. The Wright and Edwards water
augers, purchased n few months ago, are reported
to be doing excellent work at n cheap rate. al

bore IN the Northwestern districts to a depth of

the entire supervision of the boring operations.
which would be carried on day and night, work
ing with three shifts of men per day. With dill
gence and no unforeseen mishaps the depth of 2JOD

Arnold credentials have been closely scrutinised
and from them it has been learned that he has ao-
compllshed large works with success and to the
satisfaction of those with whom he contracted.

But no some niger is probably in the

ger Is we cannot say at present, but we
can make pretty shrewd guess.
This kind Of action accords well with
the sentiments put forth in our inspired
contemporary. The Government are block
ing themselves. The homestead law is by
no means one they desire to carry out
They have made no real effort to carry II
out. The establishment OF a sturdy set oi
yeomen farmers is not thing that com
mends itself to their minds. 1eoman far
mers are people who will have votes, and
who will be disposed 70 look into the ex-
penditure Of taxes. Their votes added to
the present strong opposition would swamp

defence made for the Government crum-
bles away before the showing Of facts. The
Government care no more for the landless
and poor than they do for the dirt beneath
their feet They strive to cajole them,
They strive to dazzle them with will o.
the wisp, but practically they will give
them no assistance.
