graphically, is not enthusiastic in sup
port of the machines. There is inside
information to the effect that they have
not come up to anticipations by any
means, either in point of cheapness or
speed.
Even should its adoption become pos
sible there will be plenty of work for
cOmpOsitorS. Advertisements and mar
ket reports, headlines and tables of every
description will still be required TO be
set up by hand. The telephone has not
replaced the telegraph operator, nor has
the photograph or any other mechanical
device OF taking notes driven the Stenog-
rapher to the wall. Il is just possible
that the Introduction of a successful
type-Setting machine would increase
rather than diminish the demand Tor
compOSitOrS.
In the other branches of the trade,
the effect should be much the same.
The idea is incorrect that any one not
having technical knowledge of the
printers art can operate the type-set-
ting machine: so that If the change
should come, all the compositor will
have to do TO prepare himself for the
new order of things is TO learn the key
board of the machine, rs he did the To-
cation of the letters in the lease" be-
fore. II the work can BE- done cheaper,
more books will be published, and peo-
pie who have never patroniZed the print
er before will be forced to do so in or
der TO comply with the new order OF
things. II would not be surprising TO
find compoSitOr with his machine In
every large mercantile and banking
house and lawyers Office in the city.
where any considerable amount Of
printing is to be done.
But if this change is 10 come ii will
be by slow degrees. Time will be given
TO everyone TO adapt himself to the new
order of things In this age Of progress
and invention, nothing seems impoSsi
bic, and if the improvements on type
setting machines during the next few
years keep pace with what has been ac-
compliShed within the past ten years, IL
is more than likely that the apprentice
in the composing room will be learning
the keyboard instead of the ease"
Then We shall have cheaper newspapers
and books. perhaps. The poor printers
will be pushed out of the business and
only the good be retained.
Typography will become a lost art, and
more's the pity that the Art presrya-
tive all Arts" should itself be Supplanted
by machine

But the appearance of the wagonette
whirling into the garrison with the tall

to his very boots, put an end to further
remarks. Morris fastened to meet his
guest, merely nodding response to Lanes
courteous invitation to bring him TO
dinner.

CHAPTER y.

Capt. Lanes quarters, as has been
said, were charmingly furnished, and
adorned with attractive pictures and
bric-a-brac. The dining room was
small, as dining rooms generally are in
army garrisonS, but by dint of moving
out the stove, which until now had cum
bered the corner. and then crowding the
sideboard into its place. sufficient room
had been gained to admit of extending
the table diagonally and seating four
teen people thereat, and now, with the
curtains drawn, but the soft evening
breeze playing through the open case
ment and the broad hallway, in the soft,
yet brilliant light of dozens of wax
candles set in scOnceS on the walls or IN

board, a merry party had gathered for

Mrs. Lane was already famous.

New YORK, February 6.-Many of
the most beautiful women in New York
society came from the South. Mrs.
Harry Dew, whose beauty is much
talked about in fashionable circles, was
a Savannah girl. Her slow, sweet grace
of speech and manner has been the
cause of much heartburning among the
high-bred ssterhoOd of Gotham. Her
husband is Il well-known physician and
"a nephew of the president of William
and Mary College.

cultivated and is wonderfully sweet.
There is a sad romance connected
with her early girlhood. She was
engaged when quite young to
Jefferson Davis, Jr., son OF the
Confederate President, and was TO have
been married TO him in a very short
time. when he was stricken down with
cholera and died in few hours. 1t was
a great blow to the young fiance and
she withdrew from society and the gay
world for several years. Her family
were intimate friends of the Davis fam
lily, and she was a great favorite with
them. Bessie being the only daughter
and the idol of fond parents and broth

and money could do, to take her mind

deserve to be here below. Not long ago

about the position Miss Anderson has
obtained. The Navarros are rich, Of

The size of this climax Gao only be
appreciated by those who knew Miss
Anderson personally in the first years of
her career Reams have been written
to pursuade the public that her extrac-
ton and breeding were gentle, but the
fact remains that ten years ago, and
even less, she knew next to nothing
about the manners and habits of people
with even ordinary social advantages.
Her first photographs witness this with
out any other proof. They show the
same beautiful face that has since made
her fortune, but in posture, expression,
and in the way she carries her dress,
they betray lack of breeding.

"A Hundred Denver Negroes win Emil
CRATE to Liberia.
A desire to reside in a country that ia
ruled by people of their own race has seized
a great number of the Afro-Americans of
Denver, and they are now forming q COLONY
to locate in far-off Liberia, on the west
coast ct Africa, where they propose to
populate the country and supply the world
with the products of the soil of that fertile
land. The leader of the movement, saws
he Denver Times, is John Oliver, who was
formerly In the West Indies and who has,
since his arrival in Denver, been using his
inhuence with his colored brethren in en-
thuslng them with the idea of emigrating
of tho hod. but is an exam
pie Of the o~ft-repeated assertion
that oil the energy and patriotism dis
played in this world does not emanate from
the higher ranks of life. He has by per-
slstent efforts induced a number of his
colorsd friends, prominent among whom is
the hev. Samuel Shepherd, to take hold of
the plan, and several meetings have been
held during the past month to formulate
plans for the start, which is to be made
about the LIST of October.
The Rev. Samuel Shepherd, who 10 to ac-
company the party and act as chaplain of
OF the colony, was seen by a reporter for the
Times and asked as to what progress waa
being make in organizing the party to make
the trip. He was quite enthusiastic. and
began by saying:
II have been in Denver since '76, nigh onto
sixteen years, but have concluded to 90 to
the new country where they want NV peo-
pie, whore they appreci tie us and will give
us q homo. We have about 100 who have
signed the pnper and are waiting for the
time to start. There will be in all about
!6o or 200 people, and we will start for New
York the LIST Of October, and from there
they take us through to Liberia for $50.
When We get through we will take up land
and enjoy ourselves. We may 60 in with
some OF the other colonies that have al
ready organized, and may establish an in
aepencent COLONY of our own. 1t won't be
long after We get there until we will have
one OF the best countries on earth. 1t will
be run by our people, and we can make our
own laws, form our societies and rule to
suit ourselves."

and otherwise cajole him until they

natives creep up behind, INC in a minute a

the time this is going on the tame elephants
are hulnoring their deluded victim, but as
soon AZ he il secured they go away and
leave him, which is a shabby trick. Then
the men bring him nice coooanuts and

as he is again in a great passion and strug-
Cling to be free. But hunger subdues even
the %tisrcest, and at last his wild roaring
ceases to resound through the woods and he
is forced to eat. From that time tho tam
ing process is comparatively easy; again
and again he is fed, as he requires it, by a
kin hand; and the other elephant, suscen-
tible to kindness, becomes at last a docile
servant to man.
