The well-known firm of Hoe & Co.,, says New York correspondent, is now fairly settled again in its work of manufacturing presses, after putting up it's new building at the corner of Grand and Sheriff streets. The ma chine shops are busy with skilled workmen, and novice is bewildered at the confusion out of which finished presses of all sizes and forms are finally turned out. On each floor of the rear building is to be found printing ma ch1nery in all stages of completion, the amount of iron spread around amount ing to hundreds of tons. On the ground floor there is in process of con- struction 8 massive Webb Perfecting Press, capable of turning out about 16, GOO complete newspapers an hour, an order for number of which has re- cently been filled by the company for use in England.

 A highly interesting and compara- lively novel feature of this firms busi- ness is the apprenticeship system it has established. Having found, by experience, that none but the very best workmen should be employed in the machine shops, Col. Hoe determined some 0lRuL06u uOubAS bihoo SO oboAs training system whose effects would be felt in the future. With this view about 100 of the workmen engaged are young men or boys who are taken as apprentices, though not bound by any agreement, and who are put through the various branches of the work, to become familiarized eventually with the whole. To make them every way intelligent and competent, a school is taught in the building every day by a practical teacher, at which the appren- tices attend twice a week in turns to recite, after studying in what spare time they can find. They are taught chiefly in mathematics and physics, and some of them are already liber- ally educated in both these depart ments. An evening drawing school is also open two evenings week, at which all tsl6 worxmsn oan attend. by train- ing the younger men in this way 1t is expected that they will prove in the long run far more effective than they could otherwise be. The experiment at least has proved satisfactory thus far, and it is believed not attempted as a system, by any other firm in the.coun- try. ,,.

The Milwaukee Sentinel reports that Mir. Walter Greenwood, of Durand, Wis, became totally blind quite sud denly, and remaining in darkness for just one week his sight returned to him as good as usual. Mir. Greenwood was blind from amaurosis five months while in naval service during the war, which was suspected to have been oc- casioned by the heat and over-exercise while on shipboard in the line of duty, but the cause of the recent attack was unknown, as he had been in his usual health for a long time. The recovery Was as sudden 60 the attack. He ap' piled no trsetrnens except hct wAter.

Judge Wheeler of San Francisco has
revived the old English rule that
fraud in procuring marriage is good
ground for divorce. Mandler Yretski
complained that his wife Eddel had
practised fraud upon him by falsely re-
presenting before marriage that she
was sound and healthy woman. when
In fact she was subject to insanity.
Judge Wheeler remarked that he sup
posed the husband was a sane person,
but the fact of his marrying after only
one days acquaintance with his wife
left doubt as to the condition of his
mind. It seems that Immediately after
the marriage Mrs. Yretski became vio-
lently insane, and has since been an
inmate of California asylum. During
lucid interval she admitted that she
had been an inmate of an asylum in
Europe, and rs she had represented
that she was sound and healthy wo-
man before marriage the Judge ruled
that fraud was established, and di.
vorce was granted on that ground. He
added that Yretski ought to be punish
ed FOR his haste in marrying, but that
four years of such life had been suffici-
ent punishment.

THE temperance party Of the future
is to make The grIn,iest march ever
made by any political party. The
time has come for its formation. En-
listing parties are old and full ofyears,

their eyes have become dim, so that

Out Of the shadows now cry " Good night, a"
To those who knew me when the world was
bright,
When life was gladsome and my heart was


light.


o friends, the darkness shuts me from you all /;
1t rises round me like an iron wall,
Albeit hear afar kind voices call
Tho night has come-a night that brings no


rest,


With thronging phantoms of the past pos


sess'd


night that weighs alike on brain and breast.
o dim eyes blinded with excess of pain,
. feet that stumble though the ways DO plain
o aching heart and weary, restless brain!
If only slumber sought you from the night,
Sleep that were broken by no mornings light,
Sleep that no dream nor sudden noise could


fright,


would not sorrow, though the sun were set,
But to cease from anguish and regret,
To fold the weary hands aud straight ferget!
But though the day be gone, I may not sleep,
Beside dead happmess.my watch 1 keep,
Nor may even linger here toweep.
But forth into the shadow must go,
see no star above my pathway glow,
And whittier it may tend do not know
Will ever morning chase away the night2

l have outlived my happiness. Good night.

As an instance of the effect of heat
and cold in expanding and contracting
the iron of the dome of the national
Capitol, it is stated that the colossal
statue surmounting it inclines four and
a half inches to the west in the fore
noon, and the same distance to the east
in the afternoon. This fact has been
ascertained by fixing plumb line to
the statue and dropping it to the rotun
da below. AS the morning sun upon
the east side of the dome heated the
iron and caused an expansion on the
side of the statue it was thrown west
ward four and q half inches. In the
afternoon, when the sun upon the west
side heated and expanded that part of
the dome, the statue inclined to the
east o similar distance.

The Louisville Courier Journal has
the following sensible remarks regard
ing the management of newspaper:


Some people estimate the ability of
newspaper and the talent of its editor
by the quantity of original matter. 1t
is comparatively an easy task for a
frothy writer to pour out daily col
umm of words-words upon any and all
subjects. His ideas may flow in one
weak, washy, everlasting food, and the
command of his language may enable
him to string them together like
punches of onions, and yet his paper
may be a meager and poor concern.
Indeed, the mere writing part of
editing paper is but small portion
of the work. The care, the time en-
ployed in selecting, is far more i'm
portant, and the tact of a good editor
is better shown by his selections than
anything else; and that, we know, is
half the battle. But, as we have said,
an editor ought to be estimated and
his labor understood and appreciated
by the general conduct of his paper
it's tone, its uniform consistent course,
its aims, manliness, its dignity and its
propriety. To preserve these as they
should be preserved is enough to oc-
cupy fully the time and attention of
any man. If to this be added the gen.
eral supervision of the newspaper es.
tablishment, which most editors have
to encounter. the wonder is how they
find time to write at all.

1t is not true that the Council has
decided to vacate the office of Health
Officer, and no better or stronger evil
dence Of the falsity of the statement
that such is the case need be urged
than the fact that the Health Ordi-
nance stands unrepealed. We have
no doubt but that at the next meeting
of the Council the Clerk will be in
structed to advertise for bids from
medical gentlemen who are desirous
of entering on the duties of Health
Officer. Either this will be done, or a
Health Officer will be appointed, who
will be instructed to proceed in the
business of removing those unpleasant
and offensive nuisances which en-
danger the public health. 1t is not
true, as has been stated, that such
Health Officer will be required to
"shut his eyes to nuisances on the
property of influential men," This
city needs and must have a
good Health Officer, and if we
understand the purpose of the Council
it Is to have such officer and support
and maintain him in the discharge of
his duty. The effort of our evening
cotemporary to manufacture votes out
of the nuisance business is a dirty job,
which has nastied the Erpress and
amused the intelligent public.

y runaway four-horse team attached
to heavy hay-wagon created u pro-
found sensation on Main street yester-
day. They started somewhere on the
upper end of the street, and as they
came tearing down were very near
running upon Mr.. Rabe, who was
driving along in advance Of them with
light buggy, in which were seated
with him his wife and child. Seeing the
danger and not being able to turn out,
as the street was crowded with teams,
Mr.. Rabe put his horses to their best
speed and managed to keep his dis
tance ahead Of the runaways, making
very lively and interesting race. At
length finding convenient place be-
low Court street, he drove to ore side
and the other team went careening by,
narrowly missing his vehicle, but leav-
ing it with its occupants unharmed.
Mrs. Rabe was 50 severely effected
by the fright that she went into a
hysteric fit and suffered intensely for
a time, her screams being audible for
blocks around. She was resuscitated,
however, Oh receiving proper atten-

kept their course down the street, and
were finally stopped by Mexican
without doing any serious damage.
