A PRINTER REPORTING.
His Description of Militia Drill
In Composing Room Lingo.


One day during the encampment the
managing editor Of the Houston TEX
Post found he was short man to re-
port part OF the proceedings on the
grounds Spying the foreman of the
composing-room, he requested him to
take notes of company drill, and this
is the way he did it:
promptly at four o'clock the com
pany marched upon the ground and
were received by a burst of applause.
Immediately the father of the chapel
| called time, and the foreman of the
company began to call off by slugs.
When he called out Slug they unfixed
bayonets, and kept on through the
manual by numbers. The company
was made up of numerous wrong fonts,
there being plea man alongside of
minion one, and BREWER boy along
side of nonpareil one. IN company
front the line was very unevenly justi-
fled, there being three-em space be-
tween some members, while between
others there was three-em quad. In
platoon movements the fellow who
acted as right hyphen slipped below
the line, and all three of the proof-read.
ers commenced to mark errors. In
wheeling left in circle one handful got
badly sqabbled, and when they went to
call off a phalanx of four to the front
and center the whole form got pied and
the proof-readers and copy-holder
again got their work in. In marching
in columns of fOurs another bad COM
pany error was made. Some thought
they had got price -and-a-half table
off the file, while others evidently
thought they had struck four columns
of figures and words, and put in
period when they should only have
used comma, in making time around
the battle-ground. When the assistant
foreman was ordered to make up four
page form, he made u serious error,
having only plea between two pages,
while between others there was four
line plea. In marching in double-rank
the first three lines were solid, while
the remainder were loaded and double
loaded, which is not in accordance with
tactics, The foreman, assistant fore
man, proof-readers and copy-hOlder
had column rules, which some of them
brandished finely. After the three
United States proof-readers were
through marking errors the company
passed out amid storm of applause.

The growth of the Hawkeye Insurance Com

shows that it is growing still, and likely to con-
tinue doing SO for many years to come. Its

the 'plump and pleasing sum of $1l2, 42S, and
in all the years Intervening there never was a

careful and intelligent Stewardship and the

Mrs. Morton's Coachman and
Carriage.

The handsome and fashionable wife
of the vice-president-elect is noted, for
the possession OF a remarkable coach
man. William White, who sits stlfliy
on the high drivers seat of Mrs. Nor
toms carriage, was once in the employ
of the Prince of Wales, and was brought
to this country by the Marquis ofLorne
while that aristOcrat was governor
general of Canada. He has been in the
service OF Levi 2. Morton four or five
years, and is a sort of example to the
other family cOachmen of Fifth avenue
in department. The name" in which
he tips his hat upon being questioned
or answering. his stiff-backed pose on
his seat, his handling of the reins and
whip-in every thing he is taken as a
model. Even the livery-stable proprie-
tors, in fitting out equipages that are
meant to be mistaken for the private
turnouts of their customers, are accus-
toned to point White out to their driv-
ers as an exhibit of what they ought to
aim at. But Mrs. Mortons carriage
has interior comforts that are not for
| show. A diminutive clock is set into
the side where she can see at a glance,
and thus, in making round of calls or
keeping other engagements, she may
know the time without the bother of
taking out watch. In a drawer are
compactly arranged hand-glass, and
hair-brush and comb, to be used in
the carriage whenever the slightest
mishap of toilet requires attention. A
bear-skin rug contains fat tin recep-
tacle for hot water, and is thus kept in
a condition to warm the feet. Like
many of the vehicles made to order for
ladies of wealth, the back seat of this
one is of a height, breadth and upholst-
cred shape exactly suited to be easiest
for Mrs. Morton. This carriage,
although not singular in its appoint
ments of luxury, is one of the newest
in manufacture. and nothing more COM
plete is owned by an Astor or Wander
bilt.-New York Sun.

The Close Of the Leap Year.

Leap year is dying,
The maid is signing,
Her lack of courage she now doth rue;
The chance is over
To catch alover
Till MDCCCXCIL
She waited, waited,
Procrastinated-
A fatal error, sweet maid, was thine;
Leap year is DER, dear,
And at the door here
Stands MDCCCLXXXIX.
But don't despair, dear,
Away throw care, dear,
There's always hope this side of Styx.
Wait another four, dear,
Even more, dear
Till MDCCCXCVI.
In your detection,
Let this reflection
Your bosom with consolation fill;
Some who have mated
Now wish they'd waited
Till MDCCCC, or later still!

A Man OF GentleneSS

Editorial In Hickory Fork Sentinol:
1.-The revival which has for some time
been going on at this place, shows many
evidences of becoming a success. The
Rev. Jim Boyle Lucas has proved him
self to be u mOurners' bench rubber of
no mean ability. His methods are gen.
tie, when gentleness will best serve the
aim of the church, but this should not
encourage people to take unseemly lib
critics with him during the most fervent
parts of his sermon. Night before last
while Brother Lucas was explaining the
way in which the rams horn was blown
at Jericho, Tabbs Miller blew a gourd-
handle in diabOlical imitation of the
horn. Brother Lucas paid no attention
to this act of discourtesy, but spoke
feelingly of the men who YEARLY trudg-
ed their way around the walls of the
city, solemnly blowing with spurts of
wind and great faith the gnarled horn
OF the ram. Tabbs, instead of being
impressed by this gentleness, pulled
out his cheeks in mighty endeavor and
blew blast so loud that a calf, stand
ing in an adjoining lot, kicked up his
heels and bawled in doleful refrain.
Then Brother Lucas stepped down from
the pulpit, ripped q lath from the wall
and larruped Tabs until he begged for
mercy. Then Brother Lucas knocked
down several people who had laughed
at Tabbs, kicked old John Mills on gem
eral principles and then gave out a
hymn. Mourners are hocking to the
bench. Come one, come all. "--Arkan-
