THREE TINES AROUND.

THREE TIMES AROUND.
Three times around went the Democratic SHIP
And three times around went shc
But the fourth time around. upon her trial trip.
She sank to the bottom OF the sea.
Chorus
Oh, the ocean waves they roll.
And the stormy winds they blow;
The Republican ship goes Swimming DER the tide
And the Democrats go down below, below. below,
And the Democrats go down below
Then spakc out the captain of the sinking craft,
And lubberly chap was he:
"Oh give me a platform for to make raft.
Or what will become Of met
Then out spahe tho mate: "This vessel l would state
Is very VERY rotten wood;
But yonder is a spar from British man-o'war
AS will make platform good'
Then out spaie the captain we must have sail
Whenever the breezeS blow
So they took red bandanna from the maes coattail.
For mains'l and flag also.
Now when the vessels crew what the pair would
do,
The captain and the matc they lowered
But the sailors they that there wasn't room for
more,
And they never would go on board.
Now you may sail the sea-" says sallorman, says
he,
Wherever you likes for to go;
But ships IN yonder craft that is coming up abaft,
For she carries a flag know!'
Chorus
So the sailors left the wreck for 10 tread upon the deck
OF the trigate stanch and proud;
And the captain he got drowned and with the mate
was found
In rcd bandanna shroud.
Chorus
So three times around went the Democratic ship,
And three times around went she;
But the fourth time around, upon her trial trip,

Tho Rev DR.. J. II. Vincent who elected in
May Bishop OF the Methodist Episcopal Church. is
known everywhere Of the thoroughly good men OF
his calling and time He is also known to be full OF
patrotisrn and LOYALTY story is told that no once
travelling in a car with Zacharah Chandler Of Michigan
MI Chandler had been recently in personal controversy
with L. O. c. Lamar who had asserted in Chambers pres
ence what aerward repeated the floor OF the United
States Senate, that In his hearing should call Je
ferson Davis traitor and unrebuked. MI Chambers
reonder had been denuncaon Of Davis as an Infamous
traitor the denunciaton being coupled with tho sulphur
and birthstone adjectives for which he was noted 1t
came about on that Senator Chandler telling Dr.
vincent OF the Southern spirit in Washington, related
what Lamar had said.
And what did you reply r asked DR.. Vincent
trust that your him to understand that thore
was man in his presence then with fearessness to pro-
claim the truth
Now see here, Doctor" said Senator Chandler, with
Quiet laugh whatever said was sufficient for the oc-
casjon YOU may be Of that You know mo well
enough for that But think you also know my weak
ness and will understand that what said would hardly
bear repeating from a pulpit

the remainder of the building First we
go up stairs, turning to the left Oh the

DE find ourselves in small room which
opens into another, and that into a sec

the editorial rooms, known i'll the slang
of the gang as the ''brainery -
Here, at the front end of the hall =, is the
office of the managing editor, a neat lit
tie snuggery in which books and papers
are piled in that ''disorderly ORDER so
dear to the man who wants his effects
left strictly untouched by all save his own
hands. Adjoining this is the office used
by the editorial writers. Here you find
all the late exchanges piled upon the
table, and a large and continually in

Few newspapers attain prominence or
power without passing through many vi
cisstudes and encountering many obsta-
Giles. The history of most of the great
journals of the country is the history of
hard work and patient endeayor upon the
part of those who made them great, and
all too often, the history of ruin and de-
spair. The cause for this is found in the
fact that your true newspaper man is too
enterprising for his surroundings. He
tries, as the ''prints'' are wont to ex-
press it, TO ''run nOnpareil paper IN n
small plea town. The result is wears
of hard work, with poor returns, and
frequently the necessity of letting 90 lust
as the boom' is coming which ena-
bles some other to reap what the pio
neer has sOwn. Some newspapers have
sprung into existence full DanopIied

the full front page of THE GAZETTE, each
letter cut sharp and clear into the matrix.
The stereotyper trims the edges of the
matrix with pair of heavy shears, and
then arranges it inside the f'castins
box - Il machine which resembles half n
cylinder fixed in a heavy iron frame.
When the matriX has been put in and
fastened in place by steel rods on the
sides, the casting box is closed up by a
large half cylindrical shaped piece of
casting which fits into it, leaving a space
of about an eighth of an inch between
the face of the matriX and its own
surface. Standing near is caul-
dron filled with stereotype metal
i'll molten state. A large ladls,
with two handles, is dipped up full by the
stereotyper and his assistant, and the
liquid metal poured in the casting box on
top of the matriX. 1t takes it Il moment
only to harden, and then the box is
opened, and the workmen, using thick
cloths TO protect their hands, take ont the
cast, with the matrix sticking to it. The
matrix comes off without trouble and
there, i'll the form of Il half cylinder, you
have perfect counterfeit of the form
brought down from the composing room,
with every letter, every comma, every
figure perfect. The type has been sent
back to the composing room by means of
the elevator, and the plate, after being
properly trimmed, is sent down to the
press room. The making of this plate
from the time the form came down until
the plate itself is sent out completed,
has occupied just eleven minutes, includ-
ing the six it took the matriX to dry in
the steam table.
THE ILLUSTRATIONS.
But there is one other department
which we must investigate before the pa
per goes to press. 1t is that in which the
pictures used to illustrate THE GAZETTE
are made. As the artist keeps his work
'dead secret, - we must investigate
his den i'll his absence, and late at night
is the best time to do it. So here we go:
The illustrations in THE GAZETTE are
engraved on what are called "chalk
plates. These plates are made of steel,
about an eighth of an inch thick, and are
coated with plaster composition another
eighth of an inch thick. This plaster has
the property of adhering closely to the
smooth surface of the plate, is very soft
and easily cut through, but does not
''chip' off during the process of cutting.
The artist first makes on paper an outline
drawing of the subject he wishes to pro-
duce. This is then traced on the chalk.
The lines traced are cut with
"graver' through the chalk
