STEREoTYpING NEwsPAPERs.--Few persons
are aware of the fact that our principal
morning Journals are not printed directly
from the type, but from stereotypes taken
| from the regular forms. The whole time con-
sumed in making the plates of the four
pages of the Sun is about twenty minutes


1t is accomplished thus Each page is made
up in separate form on table in size and
hight expressly adapted to the purpose the
legs of this table are furnished with castors,
and soon as the form is locked, the table is
rolled into the stereotype room. The form
is then removed to the moulding table the
latter has a hollow iron bed, the cavity of
which is filled with steam, as heat is one of
the requirements in facilitating the opera
ton. After the light temperature is attained
the form is removed again to the impos-
ing table, and two or three sheets of a
peculiar kind of paper is laid over the sur
face of the type and they are then beaten
down with brush in the same manner that
printers proceed in taking brush proof


- The form is then again slid upon the
moulding table, another and heavier sheet
fpaper placed over the first this is covered
with a wet blanket, the whole slipped
under the press attached to the moulding
table, and the power applied. This is done
almost Instantly, when the form is again run
out, and the paper peeled off is complete
matrix of the whole form. A preparation


Of French chalk is now applied to the sur
face of this paper, when it is placed into
the mould, the hot metal poured against it,
and the plate almost instantly formed. 1t

and justified. and in a few moments on its
way to the press-room. These plates are
cast in the exact form required for cylin

PERPLEXITIEs FOR FUTURE Historians.
DO Washington correspondents think that
they are making up a record of the times


which some day will furnish trustworthy
basis for the historian? We trust that
this is their effort, but fear that they do
not always succeed. For instance, when
some future Bancroft shall take up the files
of to-day's papers for a contemporary
chronicle of the impeachment trial, he will
find in the Washington correspondence Of
one of the papers that Mr.. Butler "was
eagerly listened to, and at many portions
of it his audience hung upon his words in
rapt attention. His gesture was effective

You attend religious meetings. You sometimes

1t is good it is all very good. 1t is more than

straightforward answer to my question, Are you

Have you been born again? Are you new

put on the new? Have you ever felt your sins
and repented of them? Are you looking simply
to Christ for pardon and life eternal? Do you
love Christ? Do you serve Christ? Do you
loathe heart sins, and fight against them? Do
you long for perfect holiness, and follow hard
after it? Have you come out from the world?

A Joint resolution has passed the pres
ent Legislature, to third reading, by O
vote of 73 ayes to nays, authorizing the
Governor to employ an armed force for
the preservation of the peace.


This we regard as an unjust reflection
both upon the present administration
and upon the people of the State.


The Republican party are now in con-
troll. They are in power and in effect
have the control of nearly all the civil
Offices Of the State. To say, therefore,
that they cannot preserve the peace, is
to assert either their Indifference or inca.
pacity for the discharge of official duty.


The few cases OF disorder which occur
in South Carolina are such az are incl
dest to every community and State. We
may challenge investigation in this re-
spect with the records Of any other CON-
monwealth in the Union. Nowhere is
there q greater regard for human rights
or q more profound obedience to law,
The tragedies in the more northern COM
monwealths, of which their papers give
daily account, rarely, II ever, take place
upon our soil.


The whole resolution looks more like a
disposition for political sensation and
capital than for any existing necessity,
or any desire for the general welfare.
; What we want is peace, and peace is
already here, if the civil laws are only
allowed free course. Occasional breaches
of the law are incident to every commu-
nifty. As long as human nature exists
these will be inevitable. Bot to hold a
whole people responsible for these is as
absurd as it is upjust-Charieston CoM-

ANNALS THAT CHEW THE CUD,


Illuminating animals gather their

a portion is completely masticated, it
passes to another receptacle, and
the progress Of digestion goes on.
Thus an OK, if left TO himself will
raise and masticate all his food thus
slowed away in his stomach. If he
be pushed and worked hard, and

falls off in flesh, his health is poor,
his digestion incomplete.

The New York Uorld's correspondent at
Chicago, speaking Of The second days proceed
ings of the nominating convention, says the
first real life shown in the body was when the
vote nominating Grant was announced. The
moment that the announcement was made a
dove, with feathers painted IN red, white and
blue, was thrown out from the galleries, and
few around the hall for some five minutes,
when it struck the lights in the rear part of the
stage, and was so badly burned that further
flight was impossible The dove fell 10 the
floor somewhat singed. A moment later the
flags in the rear of the stand were raised, and
revealed 10 the audience a miniature house
painted on canvas, on which was painted full
sized figure of General Grant with Columbia
at hissde. and over his head the words, g Match
him." At the sight of this the entire audience
rose to their feet and gave cheer after cheer,
when the band played the air OF John
Browns soul goes marching on, the entire
audience singing the words.


The same correspondent says that the con-
vention came near having lively row while
waiting for the platform manufacturers to re-
port. The debate which sprung up on the
Union League resolutions, reading Iessenden,
Trumbull & Co., ont of the party, became very
exciting, and showed that the vengeance party
had at least one-third of the convention, aud
at one time it was doubtful what the result
would be. After an hour spent in wrangling
over it, it was laid on the table. This did not
suit Mr.. Spencer, Of New York He moved
to take it from the table and made quito a
splurge, but failed Considerable time was
then spent in buncombe speeches, in which the
most bitter sentiments were applauded the
most. General Palmo- boldly asserted that in
the question Of impeachment the Law and evil
dence had no bearing and should not be con-
sidered. for impeachment was simply the new
mode for decapitation. This revolutionary
sentiment was applaudcd.


The resolutions did not 90 far enough on
some points to suit the radicals Of the West,
and. on motion Of Carl Schurz, two more reso-
lutions were added to the platform Of an ex-
treme radical character.

Sometimes, when the day grows dusky,


And the stars begin 10 come.
When the children from their playing,


Come singing and laughing home,
think with a sudden sorrow.


As they pass through the open door,
OF the faces Of the children


That we never shall see any more.
Children in snow-white casKets,
Laid away to their rest,
Their still hands lying faded


Over the pulseless breast
Children who came and tarried


As it were My for the night.
And passed at the break Of the morning,
On journey far out of sight.
On long and lonely journey


Where We could not help or hold,
For we saw but the closing eyehds,


The fading of locks of gold;
And Enew how now was but silence,
Where once had been prattle and Song,
And only chill and a shadow,


Where was sunshine the whole day long.
Away from our care and caresses,
God knows where they are" we say,
And we know that we tarry behind them
Only little way;
For we, too, haste in our journey.
and We know it will not be long
Till we come to the city eternal,
The rest and rapture of song
Yet oft, when the sun is setting


In unspeaKable splendor of light,
Or the days grow dim and dusKy


Aud the shadows stretch into the night.

Come in through the open door.
