rYPEsERTING BY MACHINERY.
The Machines will be Exhibited in
Chicago-The Test Satisfa Glory
80 Far

The private test of typesetting ma
chimes, held in Chicago at The Even
ing Post building, under the American
Newspaper Publishers Association,
closed the other night. The test was
very satisfactory in many respects,
and the report of the Committee will
give the newspaper publishers def
mite idea as to the work which can be
done by the various machines.
For. three hours during the forenoon
the machines were worked by men,
bers of the Typographical Union, who
had never before seen them, to show
the capacity of beginners who are
practical printers, and for three hours
in the afternoon they were worked al
80 by girls familiar with the Reming-
ton typewriter Keyboard to ascertain
what could be done upon the machines
by those who are suddenly called upon
to operate them.
All of the next week the machines
will be exhibited to newspaper pub
lishers and the indications are that a
large number of newspaper men from
all parts of the United States will visit
Chicago to see the machines and also
to inspect the coal process Of stereo-
tipping, which will be on exhibition
also throughout the week.

Mnntsd-A Little Girl.

Where have they gone to, the little girls,
With natural manners and natural curlsp
Who love their dolls and like their toys,
And talk of something besides the boysp
Little old women in plenty find,
Mature in manners and old of mind.
Little old firts who talk of their "beaus,n
And vie with each other In stylish clothes
Little old bellies, who at nine and ten
Are sick of pleasure and tired of men,
Weary of travel, OF balls, of fun
Aud find no new thing under the sun.
Once, in the beautiful long ago.
Some dear little children used to know
Girls who we're merry lambs at play,
And laughed and rollicked the livelong day.
They thought not at all of the sstyle" OF
their clothes;
They never imagined that The boys were
"beaus;n
aOther girls brothersn and mates we're they 1;
Splendid fellows to help them play
Where have they gone to? II you see
One of them anywhere send her to ME;
| would give medal of purest gold
To one of these dear little girls of old,
With an innocent heart and open smile.
Who knows not the meaning Of "flirt" and
@style."

How Harry did run toward his home
When he got there he was trembling
like leaf. and told his father he had
seen "bug boo"
Mr.. Wilson said there was no such
thing as abug-a boo" He went back
with Harry, whose little legs shook
with fright as he followed his father
over into the cornfeld.
"What is it father?" Harry asked
when they got nearly up to the "bug-
a-boo."
"It's only JACKIE. lantern, said
Mr.. Wilson, and he laughed heartily at
Harry's fright.
Harry found that the" JACKIE lantern"
was large pumpkin which had been
followed out, and eyes, nose and mouth
cut in the rind. A lighted candle stuck
inside of it shone through them and
made them look like fire a short dis
tance away. The neighbors' boys had
made it and stuck it up on the top of a
scare-crow" which had been put in
the field to keep the crows from steal

very sorry when they heard how Har-

Row Among the Socialists.

A dispatch from Erfurt, says: At
this days session Of the socialists con-
gress. Aurbach made violent speech
in defense of anarchy, fnll of bitter
denunciation Of the existing system of
government and society. An uproar
followed, and congress was about to
move the expulsion of Aurbach and
his adherents, when Aurbach an
nounced secession Of himself, Werner.
Schultz and Wildberger of Magdeburg
and Bretherg of Berlin. These five
withdrew from the hall.
Singer read letter from the seced-
ing extremists in which the seceders
declared that they would no longer
belong to party which called itself q
socialist party, while it renowned
democratic principles. The congress-
thereupon adopted resolution advis-
ing the socialists Of Berlin to take meas
ures to render abortive any futher ac-
tion by the extremists as the latter

THE COTTON CROP.
Receipts athe South Unprecedented

Receipts athe South Unprecedented
at This Season.
The New York Commercial Bulletin
says: The receipts Of cotton at the
South during the last week amount to
about 500, 900 bales. These figures are
unprecedented for this stage of the
season. The bulls on this staple at
tribute the extraordinary movement to
the early date of ripcning of the plant,
which they say is causing correspond
ingly early marketing.
There is probably some measures of
truth in this view, but at the same
time the facts must tend to discredit
them for the time being at least.
The extent of the injury to the crop
is attributed to the late unfavorable
weather, and such large receipts COM
ing upon the already extraordinary
stocks must tend to weaken the price
OF the staple; for the quantity of the
cotton that has at present to be taken
care of must necessitate some realiz-
ing.
During the past week there has been
very marked improvement in the

Frightened by a Pumpkin.

Harry Wilson lived with his father
and mother on farm, and being o
country boy was brave little fellow.
So, one evening, when his mother
asked him to go over to a neighbor' $
house on an errand for her, he started
off cheerfully, although it was nearly
shutdown.
Harry was kept longer than he ex-
pected, and did not start back home
until after dark. Then the shadows
in the fence corners and the bushes
along the country road looked queer
in the starlight, and the stiffness was
apt to make one nervous. But Harry
whistled merrily as he trudged along,
and looked straight ahead toward his

Many many who has reached the

William Hunt, the celebrated artist,
found it impossible to explain his man
ner of working so that others could
benefit by his experience.
One day lady who painted fruit
very successfully obtained an intro
duction to him for the purpose of ask
ing his advice in regard to her work
She had no doubt that he could formu-
late some principle, or volunteer such
scientific information as would be Of
use to her.
To her establishment, Mr.. Hunt told
her that he could do nothing of the
kind, adding quantity:
The only thing you can do is to
fudge it out"
She then asked if he knew Mr.. -.

ITO be sure I do said he. "Of
course I do. Well, he has Judged it
out We must all fudge it out.
There is no other way than Judging it

DISGRACE TO IRISH JOURNALISM
That's What John Dillon Says the At

John Dillon, member Of parliament
for East Mayo, in a speech at Dun
garden recently, explained that he and
his colleagues were absent from Par
nell's funeral in order to prevent I'M
scemly disorder. He charged that his
opponents hired men, whom they piled
with drink, to publicly call him
"murderer." He regretted that such
devices> had debarred him from the
funeral of the great illustrious leader
he loved more than those loudest in
their professions Of grief. He de-
nounced those who are making on the
fresh grave a platform of infamous
gospel, perpetual hostility and ma
tional dissension. He hoped that the
bitter attacks upon Parnell's memory,
such as had been printed by The Irish
Catholic, which were uncatholic, UNI
christian, and disgrace to Irish jour-
nalism, would not be repeated. The
latter remark created sensation.

THE LIGHTsHIP ADRITT.


The lighthouse board is informed
that the schooner Drift, which has
been used as lightship at Winter
Quarter Shoals, Va, while the regular
ship is being repaired, is adrift, and
that all efforts to find her have been,
SO far, unsuccessful. While it is sup
posed that she did not get adrift be-
fore Monday or Tuesday of this week,
there is no actual information at hand
that she was on her station after 9
o'clock last Friday night, when she
was sighted by Captain Marsh, of the
steamer Fairfax, of the Merchants
and Miners line. The weather at the
time was good, and the lighthouse
officers are confident from this fact,
that she was on ner station when the
