THE FOURTH. The Fourth IN Manito>
voc passed off quietly and pleasantly. The
public cclebratienin this village, although
not so extensively participated in as was
anticipated, was still success. taking into
consideration the heat of the day and the
many attractions elsewhere. The drag
ropes of the machines were we'll manned by
the boys of the different fire companies, and
the German societies turned out we'll and
made fine appearance. We did not have
the pleasure of listening to the orations Of
Messrs. ANDERSON and WrrTMANN, but
can readily acquiesce in the verdict of those
who did, that they were neat, scholarly and
appropriate, and reflected credit upon both
of these gentlemen.


The fair and festival Of the Episcopal
ladies was an unqualified success. The
commodious hall kindly rendered them for
the occasion By Mr.. CONWAY, was taste>
fully decorated, and the beautiful display
of fancy articles on sale, and the tempting
array of refreshments for the inner man,
proved very attractive to our citizens, to
say nothing of the attractiveness of the la
dies themselves. We hear it stated that
the ladies netted about $3.50.


The celebration at CHLoupEK' s, in Kos
suth, was without doubt the most exten-
sive gathering of the kind that ever as
sembled in this county. The festivities at
this place We're participated in by at least
fifteen hundred people, and nothing oc-
CURED to mar the enjoyment of the day.
The oration by Maj. CHAs. Ii. WALKER
was one Of the finest efforts Of the kind it
was ever our good fortune to listen to. 1t
was brief eloquent and patriotic, and was
listened to throughout with unmistakable
interest by the vast assemblage A bali at
CHLoUPEK S Hall in the evening terminal
ed the programme.


f. The picnic for the benefit of ST. Patrick s
church, Maple Grove, was only second to
the gathering at CBLoUpEK as regards
the number in attendance in point of en-
joyment and general good feeling among
those who attended, we venture to say it
was not excelled by any other celebration
held in the country on that day of general
jubilee. About one thousand persons were
prese Mt and the affair closed in the same
happy manner that characterized it thro' :

The time comes at laat. Gorgeous

heaven, are waiting in the totteripg old
house, though its inmates know it not
waiting to bear her home. With slight
struggle the soul quits its frail dwelling

angels up to heaven-while songs Of Joy

Then, and only then, the gaunt skeleton
form of Death comes out from its dark

claims the body; the sweet spirit of the
child is with its God. I will close with
an extract from the authors reflection on
her death. "Oh, it is hard to take to
heart the lesson such deaths teach. but
let no man reject it, for it is one that all


must learn, and is mighty universal
Truth. When Death strikes down the
innocent and the young from every fra
gile form from which he lets the parting
spirit free, a hundred virtues rise up in
shapes Of mercy, charity and love, to walk


the world and bless it. Of every tear


that sorrowing mortals shed on such green

his power, and his dark path becomes a

Dear friend, far off, my lost desire,


So far, SO near, in woe and veal;


o, loved the most when most feel
There is lower and higher;
Known and unknown, human, divine
Sweet human hand and lips and eye,
Dear heavenly friend that canst not die,
Mine, mine, forever, ever mine!
Strange friend, past, present, and to be,
Loved deeplier, darklier understood;
Behold dream dream of good,
And mingle all the world with thee.
Thy voice is on the rolling air;


hear thee where the waters run;


Thou standest in the rising sun,
And in the setting thou art fair.
What art thou, then? l cannot guess;
But though seem in star and flower
To feel thee, some diffusive power,
do not, therefore, love thee less;
My love involves the love before;


My love is vaster passion now;


Though mixed with God and nature thou
I seem to love thee more and more.
Far off thou art, but ever nigh;


have thee still, and rejoice;


prosper, circled with thy voice;

When Tom Swann's villainous treachery
united with the perjury advised by the pres
ent U. s. Minister to England, looscd on
Maryland the Rebel crew fresh from Lees
battle fields, the Republicans of that State
were beaten as no political party was ever
beaten before, and from having control of
the State fell to minority which was un-
able to place single officer in power. Beat
and demoralizen with the powerful patron
age of the u. s. Government also turned
against them; they suffered their organiza-
tions to go down, and in many counties staid
at home and let the Democrats hold an
election, of their own.


Hence Maryland will show but little of the
present great reaction against the revolution
ary Democratic party,-the second "upri.
sing of great people" againat treason and
savery,-and the day of her redemption
from rebel rule is delayed further than it
need have been. A few heroic men will
doubtless form forlorn hope and steadily
march up to defeat. But had the Republi-
cans of Maryland gone into this campaign a
solid compact well organized minority, with
the accessions to their ranks during the can
vass and the influence of the National Gov
ernmcnt in their favor, during the next four
years, they would have been in better con-
dition in 1872 than it seems now probable
they can be.


We hope the republicans in our lower
counties will profit by their neighbors ex-
perience, and that they will never for mo-
ment consider the proposition of letting an
election go by default. Ne are glad that oil
idea of that has been abandoned, and that a
straight out, strong Republican ticket will
be put in the field.

Few persons are aware Of the fact
that our principal morning journals
are not printed directly from the type,
but from stercotypcs taken from the
regular forms. The Whole time con-
sumed in making the plates of the
tour pages is about twenty minutes.
1t is accomplished thus: each page is
made up in separate form on Il table
in size and hight expressly adapted for
the purpose; the legs Of this table are
furnished with castors, and as 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 ia
cilitating the operation. After the
right temperature is attained, the form
removed again to the imposing table
and two or three sheets Of kind of
paper is laid over the face of the type,
and they are then beaten down with a
brush in the same manner that prin-
tcrs proceed in taking brush proof.
The torn is then again carefully slid
up on the moulding table, another and
heavier sheet of paper is placed over
the first; this is covered with 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 surface of the
paper, when it is placed into the
mould, and the hot metal poured
againstit, and the plate almost instantly
formed. 1t is now removed to the
planer, is cut, routed and justified, and
in few minutes is on its way to the
press-room. These plates are cut in
the exact form required for a cylinder
press, and are about half an inch in
thickness.-Northendcr.
