THE ticket steal at Chicago shows what kind of metal the Blaine fellows expect to win with. The fellow who had charge of the tickets gave them out to beardless, whining boys, who packed the hall, ready to whine for Blaine, while thousands of old-time Republicans, old soldiers on wooden legs and with arms torn off in battle while these whining puppies were vet unborn, that we might have a coun tly, were compelled to remain outside in the sun. That is the kind of a crowd that Blaine has as his followers.

census takers are now at work

making an enumeration of the inhabitants, which is done every t«n years. One of the principal reasons for taking the census is that representation in the House of Representatives and in Congress may be apportioned equitably inproportion to the population in each state, and secondly, that our

Jaw makers and political and so­

cial economists sanitarians and others may be supplied with official data as to the condition of all the people. It is the only meant by which they can get statistics of the health, mortality, industries, production, education, and general condition of the" Inhabitants of the whole sountry

and of each particular locality

Without these there can be no intelligent view of our situation, and there can be no intelligent legislation on many subjects. The purposes of our oensus are, therefore, entirely beneficient, made in the interests of the public at large, for the enlightenment of their teachers and law-makers, and for their own information as far as they see fit to engage in the study. For these reasons some of the states take censuses of their own, at periods of five years after the United States census.

AT the Cincinnati races, the other day, the brown gelding "Enterprise," in making a turn, threw the jockey, a black boy, named Collie, to the ground. Enterprise was weighed at 107 pounds. The boy weighed only eighty-two. With the twenty-five pounds dead weight and the saddle hanging on his side, the riderless gelding pushed through the bunch of horses, and took the lead on the first turn. As he flew past the grand stand, hugging the fence like a racer that knew his business, he was hailed with wild cheering. The reception seemed to enthuse him, for he dashed ahead as if under whip and spur, and was never headed after he took the lead, passing under the wire a length ahead of the winner. He ran about half way around the next quarter, then turned and cantered back in the direction of the judges' stand, as if to get the purse that was hanging on the wire, but he was captured and led back to the stables.

THE Cincinnati Commercial in an editorial on the improvement in printing presses, in regard to the new Hoe press, says:

These presses will deliver the paper, cut at the top, pasted at the back and folded. There will be no exceptions— each paper not only will be, but must be turned out in that way.

We have more than once been surprised by the improvements upon printing machinery, especially those invented and perfected by the Messrs. Hoe, but at this time we feel at liberty to believe they, with their matchless mechanics, have reached such a point that they will not be uile to surpass themselves.

Here is a presss that takes a roll of paper, priu^s it on both sides, cuts it into lengths, and delivers it, with the leaves opened and neatly folded, ready for the carrier, mail-boy, news-agent and reader.

As it is hot desirable that the machine should read the paper," nothing more can be done.

A NKW8(?)I»AI'ER that steals its Chicago news from bulletin boards ought most certainly to be enlarged.—Express.

We can't imagine what paper in the United States would have so little sense as to expect to get a truthful statement from the bulletin board of the "reduced size." Compare the Daily NEWS of June 2d with the "reduced size," published fifteen hours aftorward, and see who has the bulge on the Chicago dispatches. If the "reduced size" cannot get a truthful telegram from Chicago, the NEWS will gladly help the "Little Buttercups" to make up their special dispatches.

EMIGRATION from Germany is still on the increase, the official returns of the number of emigrants leaving there during tho .first quarter of the present yoar being 14.000. The causes of this ex odusof so many of the best of the population may be given as the stringent mili lary service law and the excessive burden of taxation levied to sustain Germany's large standing army.

THE following from the Free Press might be applicable in other cities besides Detroit: 'Mr. Blank, I hear that one of yoursix regular jurymen died last night.' 'Ah, yes. The poor fellow is gone. He was a truly good man. Summer and winter he was always around the Court house ready to go on any sort of case, and I have sometimes been almost convinced that he really allowed his verdict to be guided by the evidence.' 'Is that possible? Didn't he always return for the plaintiff?' 'Ye?-', except on rare occasions. He was a sterling juryman, and every attempt to bribe him vritli two dollars was always repelled with indignation 'While I grieve with you, Mr. Blank, let me present to you mv friend Doe. As a steady juryman he has no superior. His red nose, his old coat, his run-down boots, all mark him as a first-class juror, la the criminal or circuit court." 'Alt! why did I not meet von two hours earlier?' sighed the sheriff, as they shook hands. 'Over twenty applications have alread? been made for the vacancy, and I have as good as promised it to a friend who feels as if he really ought to buy hjs own tobacco and whisky as ftrag as his wife pays lite rent and supports the family.' 'Then there is no hope?' 'I fear not, though he miefct hang krouqd on the bade seats ana trust to luck. Good-bye—I'm awful sorry.'"

There are few of those not practically engaged in printing who comprehend the enormous difficulties in the way of producing a single page typographically correct. Leaving out of ^consideration the variations from rules of capitalization punctuation, to which there are as many exceptions as there are to any of the so-called "rules" of English orthography, the labor of weeding out literal errors is one which taxes patience and assiduity to tLe utmost. Errors which may strike the casual reader as so plain and easily discernable as to raise a conclusive presumption of carelessness, may have passed half a dozen carefdl readers unnoticed.

Many suppose these errors might have been avoided, in the first instance, by due care on the part of the printer. This to a certain extent is true, but not to the extent supposed. It might be proper to charge him with all these errors if he had nothing else to consider in performing his work but correct composition. But there is a certain demand made upon him for quanity as well as quality. In order to render his labor remunerative, it is necessary that he should set during the working hours a sufficient amount to entitle him to a living compensation, according to the standard by which the reading pub lie are willing to pay. This he cannot do if he devotes his entire time to accuracy

When even a careless reader, who is sufficiently well informed to enable him to detect errors, devotes an hour to the conning of a single page, with a mind fresh and unclouded by other cares, he may discover errors which the proofreader has overlooked. But the professional reader brings to the daily discharge of his exacting duties a constitution similar to that of those engaged in other vo cations. He, like every one .else, is sub ject to the ills that unfit him for close application and careful discrimination. The most competent have days when their minds are distracted by anxieties that draw their attention from the work in hand, which they necessarily perform in a perfunctory manner. The very continuity of this peculiar labor by which their faculties become habituated, and their eyes expert to detect errors, has the effect, by the intellectual drudgery, to blunt their interest and tire their minds. So that the verdict should often be, instead of careless proof-readers, overworked proof-readers.

There is probably not a periodical publication in this, or any other country, which is entirely free from errors. To illustrate the difficulty, the following example is offered:

The superintendent of one of our leading railroads employed an expert to prepare a table of rates for freight between the different stations on a single line of road running through one state. Bent upon having this absolutely correct, he had it examined and re-exauiined until no error could be discovered. The calculations were all simple. After the table was prepared in manuscript, it was printed and then submitted to expert proofreaders. All the operations were gone over and proved. The cost of preparing this table was $10,000. When it was completed and pronounced perfect by several readers, it was subjected to the test of a calculating machine which could not err, and in less than half an hour an error was detected." Two cr three hours'work with the machine discovered upwards of thirty mistakes in calculation, either of which was clearly apparent to any one acquainted with the simple rules of arithmetic, the moment his attention was directed to the single calculation, unbiased by any preconceived notions of its correctness or incorrectness.

This merely goes to prove the falibility of the mental mechanism to which we are compelled to submit all printed matur for final judgment upon its accuracy. When some one can invent a proof reading machine we may arrive at absolute perfection, but not till then. The most that can be hoped for with the means at hand is approximate accuracy.

Purifying TYater.

Different waters, like different diseases, require different treatment to

Eow

urify them and all waters, no matter impure they may be, can be made quite pure for drinking and other domestic purposes without distillation, providing the proper materials be used and sufficient time allowed the re-agents to act but in many samples of water I have found distillation to be the cheapest and quickest mode of purifying them. All filters in use that I am aware of only purify the water from solid impurities mechanically suspended in the water. The following is a description of a filter that I have often used, which purifies foul water from organic impurities held in solution as well as from suspended solids. Take any suitable vessel with a perforated false bottom and cover it with a layer of animal charcoal on the top of that spread a layer of iron filings, borings or turnings, the finer the better, mixea with charcoal dust on top of these filings place a layer of fine, clean, siliceous sand, and you will hrve a perfect filter. Allow the foul water to filter slowly through the above filter, and you will have a remarkably pure drinking water. Before placing the iron filings in the filter they must be well washed in a hot solution of soda or potash, to remove oil or other impurities: then rinse them with clean water the filings shonkl be mixed with equal measure of fine charcoal. If the water is very fonl, it mnst be allowed to filter very slowly. The deeper the bed of iron filings is, the quicker they will act.

The above is a simple, cheap and verv efficient filter, superior to any other I know of. and has the advantage of being fre^ to every one who chooses to make it, I have not taken ont a patent for it, and I am not aware of any person having done soj I thinkjl am the only person who lias fever used it

The foulest* ditch water, treated as above, & rendered pure and fit for drinking. I may mention that I have made it a practice dnring the last twentyseven years to boil all my drinking water. It is the safest plan fora man moving from place to place. Yon can not always carry a filter and chemicals

about yon, bat yoa enh always manage to get boiled water. People talk about it being vapid and tasteless, but I am used to it and like it

To give an idea ofHhe rela .ve distances, suppose

a

voyager through the ce­

lestial spaces could travel from the sun to the outermost planet of our system in twenty-four hours, so enormous would his velocity that it would cany him across the Atlantic ocean, from New York to Liveipool, in less tnan a tenth of a second of the clock. Starting from th- sun with this velocity, he would cror the border of the inner planets in rapid succession, and the outer ones more slowly, until, at the end of

a

sin-

•le day, he reached the confines of out system, crossing the orbit of Neptune. But though he passed eight planets the first day,lie would pass none the next for he would have to journey eighteen or twenty years without diminution of spaed, before he could reach'the nearest star, and then would have to lournev as far again before he could reacli another. All the planets of our system would have vanished in the distance in the course of the first three days, and the sun would be but an insignificant star in the firmament.
