one Way to Spell q Boy.

No parent who has n sincere regard for the welfare of his son will permit him to start out as an amateur printer. Amateurs never amount to much in anything, but owing to the peculiar character of the printing business, not one boy in hundred who beg ins as an amateur ever becomes first-class workman. On first sight printing seems to be so easy that most every boy imagines he can master the whole art in few months. Alter he begins and gets along 10 where ho can deliver work that is irihe more readable than copy and Is not all offset his appetite is whetted by the money he has re- ceiyed for 1t from good natured or chartably disposed friends, and he imagines that all he needs in order to
 make a large fortune very quickly. is a larger and more expensive outfit. So the kind parent puts his hand into his pocket, or his name upon a note. and young America has his hearts de- sire. What theu9 Failure in most every case; and not only failure, but very oiNeu a itic pIaNtCtsiy thrown away; for the boy who has never been taught and has prematurely been al- lowed to be his own master gets to be incapable of learning or doing anything thoroughly. You might just as well expect an old dog to learn new tricks, as an amateur printer to learn to be u first-class workman.
 The moral of this is. that if boy de- slres to become a printer his parents should put him into printing office aud have him taught the business regularly. There is just as much need for him to study the art oi printing as there is for candidate for tho bar to study the principles of law. Futher- more, amateur printers arc an un- mitigated nuisance. as n general thing. for they are not content to print for their own ediiication. but insist upon forcing their meretricious productions upon consumers who would prefer. If left to themselves, to pay fair price for decent work. Press and Type.

NEW York, August 23.-The foul
murderery of women, Patrick Pack
enham, Jack Lewis, (coiored), Jas
Nolan and Ferdinand Carolin, were
hanged in tina yard OF the Tombs
prison this morning. There were
ito scaffolds, and two men were
hanged on each.
After the men had taken thei,
places on the scaffold they both
grasped the hands of the priests
and wrung them fervently. Then
| Hangman Atkinsrn tied q white
cord about tho legs OF Nolan just
above the ankles, and his assistant
did a like service for Packenham.
In a twinkling the black caps were
adjusted, and at signal from At
kinson the bodies of both were
iersed into the air. At 7:l0 Nolan
and Pakcnhan we're pronounced
dead, but their bodies were permit
ted to hang for 10 minutes longer.
After the black caps were ad-
justsd on the other two Atkinson
gave the signal and the weight fell.
Instead of bounding up as Paken-
ham and Nolan had bone, the mis-
erablo w.etches went into tae air
with SO little force that there was
scarcely any rebound at all.
Lewis Immediately began to
struggle in a most sIckening man
ner. He threw his legs about SO
violently as to kick off his slippers,
then he began to gurgle and to
choke; the raspins, vheezy sound
coming from under the horrible cap,
and for fully ten seconds bis body
turned and ewayed and the sight
was SO painful that half dozen
men turned away their heads. The
poor creatures were slowly strangl-
ed. Carolin's body was swaying
violently also, but he uttered no
sound.
The weight fell at 1903 o'clock,
and at 7:10 both men were dead.
Tho four bodies hung for half an
hour and were then cut down and
placed in plain cefiins.
