 A printer in Japan has to have 8 memory. A traveller in that country was recently shown the interior of native printing of fee. He found 'tease'' four feet wide by sixty feet long, where twelve compositors worked. They did wonderful amount of rushing about in search of the types needed, ;. for over fifty thousand different characters reposed in the divisions of this vast construc- tion.
 It seems to be fact that General Sheri- dan was born. His cousin John says: The general was born in county Cavan, in the north of Ireland. The army register up to the year 1870 gave Massachusetts as his birthplace. He says he was born in Albany. His mother insists that he was born in Ohio, and the army register since 1870 confirms his mothers assertion. The house in which he was born in Albany has been removed to make way for railroad station, but that in which he was born in Somerset, Ohio, still stands: and is known to everybody therea- bout as Phil Sheridan's birthplace. Penn- sy1vania has also claimed Sheridan one of her sons His mothers evidence ought to be trustworthy.
 The action of the government of India in decreeing that all of the inhabitants of Bur- nah shall be deprived of firearms of every kind is taken in spite of the advice of some of the most experienced English administra- tors in India, who say that, if thus disarmed, the natives will not be in position to de- fond themselves from the attacks of wild beasts and almost equally wild men. The jungles of the East Indies abound with savage beasts, against whom the natives need to protect themselves, while in various districts large bands that are known as Da- colts, or outlaws, plunder those villages where the inhabitants are not prepared to defend themselves.
 A high license bill is now before the New York assembly, and many expect to see it pass. As amended in committee, the bill provides for liquor license of not less than $500, nor more than $2. 900, and a beer l- oense of not less than $100, nor more than $40O, the precise amount between these lim- it's to be fixed by local excise authorities. Strong provisions have been added, designed to prevent the illicit sale of liquors by store keepers and druggists, and a requirement hes been inserted that every board of ex- cise in the State shall file an annual report with the Secretary of State, showing the number and grade of licenses granted, the | amount of fees collected, and all other facts that may be deemed of importance in con nection with the boards business.

Astonishing Information.

The facts are that the paper (kennehec
Journal) is owned by Clarence Burletgh, a
youth of 20. in whose name seven-eighths of
the stock is held, and another youth named
Flynt, holds one-eighth. The paper was
purchased on notes issued by the boy Clar-
ence, and endorsed by his father Hon Ed
win c. Burleigh. Boston Globe.
This is astonishing news to "the boy
Clarence who had firmly believed until
he saw the above statement in the Globe
that he was twenty-four years of age aud
that he and his partner, the ''youth Flynt"
were the sole owners of the keRnebec
Journal. Having discovered his real age
from the Globe the ''youth" will doubtless
be prepared to profit by the mfornltioi
when the next life insurance agent calls
upon him. The Globe aegleets to state the
age of the ''youth Flynt," who has hith-
erto supposed himself to have seen thirty
one summers. If he is not as old he
would really like to know it, and it is
earnestly hoped that the Globe will has
ten to give him the correct figures. The
ssboy" Flynt has been practical printer
for twelve years. during eight years of
which he has been foreman of one of the
largest job offices in the State. That is
his history AS he remembered It before he
saw the Globe article. Both Of these
'youths" are married aud the ssbay''
