HOW A PAPER IS MADE.
Tray how Is a newspaper made?"
Tlie j action Is easy to ask,
F.ut to answer It fully, my dear,
Were rather a dilheaU task :
And yet, iu a bantering way.
As the wbipporwi;! sings In the g!a Je-,
IT1 vent ure a bit of a lay.
And tell how a paper Is made.
An editor sits atliis desk.
And ponders o:i t'ulnsthat appear
To be claiming the thoughts of tlie world
Tldii.-s solemn and comic and queer
And when he has hit on a theme
He judges it well to parade,
He writes, and he writes, and he writes.
And that's how a paper is made.
An editor slls at his desk,
And puzzles,his brain to make out
Telegraphs so squabbled and mixed
It's hard to tell what it's about,
Exchanges are tying around
"While awaiting dispatches delayed,
lie clips, and he cli'., and he elips,
And that's how a paper is made.
An editor out in the town.
In search of tlie things that are new '
Tlie things that people have done.
The things they're intending to do
Goes peeping and prying about.
For items of many a grado ;
He tramps, and he tralnp", and he tramps.
And t ii.it 's how a pater is made.
And all that there workers prepare
Of every conceivable stripe.
Is sent to the printer and lie
I'receetletb to slick it ia type ;
His lines, all respecting his will.
In slow, moving c.iiumns parade :
lie sticks, and he sticks, and he sticks,
And that's how a paper is made.
In short, when the type Is all set,
And errors cleaned up, more or less,
'Tis "locked up in a form," as we say.
And hurried away to the press ;
T;ie pressman arranged bis Sheet,
The ii:k gives the requCiti shade.
Then he prints, and he prints, and he priats.
And tu.ii's how a paper is made.
AN" APPEAL r'i:03ISlIBEVESP0RT.
The Shrevesport Times contains the
jollowiug appeal, which the Howard
Association earnestly request the press
of the country to publish :
"To our fellow tri'tlzens:
The yellow fever epidemic that has
already swept away more than four
hundred of this community, is still
raging with unabated fury iu our
midt. We have at least now seven
hundred sick, of all ages, sexes, colors,
and nationalities, all of whom, from
the peculiar character of the disease,
require constant ami careful nursing.
In addition to this are hundreds of
people left without a cent, and without
employment. Amongst these are many
women and little children. All of
them must, for the present at least, be
provided for and fed by the Howard
Association, for there is no work to do
and no money to be had. The destitu
tion i:i our midst is as heartrending as
the disease, and both are fearful. The
drain upon the friends of the associa
tion has thus far been enormous, and
the liberal aid sent us by our sister cit
ies is nearly exhausted. Under these
painful circumstances, we are forced to
m:tke this general appeal to the coun
try for additional aid. We have peo
ple among us sulfering, in want aiid
dying, from all sections of the union,
and from all nations; and we feel that
the great public heat t will respond to
this appeal, extorted by the most dire J
necessity. uur own resources are
nearly exhausted. The well are broIrCn
down, the poor arc threatened with ac
tu;d starvation, tlie sick arid dying are
about to be depri ved of the commonest
comforts humanitv can render them."
He Wants to Be a (.ranger and r-ith the
Grangers Drink.
Beet Statio:?, ')
(Wieh is in the State uv Illinoy),
August 27, 1S73. )
Things ain't workin' ez smooth with
uztzl could wish, in our movement
for the relief uv the hard handed agri
eultooralists uv Illinoy. We hev made
some blunders ourselves, and besides,
the fanners theirselves didn't show
that abstract enthoosiasm wieh I
wanted to see. They are too much de
voted to things purely pursonal to take
broad views uv things.
Our fust misforchoon occurred in
the election uv officers uv our Grange.
I got a list of the. officers, and went on
to fill 'em. Mr. CVphus Billins was
elected ilastur; Mr. Pettus, Treasurer ;
Mr. Blathers, Secretary; and the other
principal officers wuz filled by other
gentlemen who woodent decline a
county oiils ef they were urged hard
er.ufT.
"Wat am I to hev?" I asked.
Billins run hksintcllectooal eye down
tlie list.
"Wood it soot you to be Flora?" he
replied.
"Anything!" wuz my answer.
Whereupon I was elected Flora, and
tiie list wuz in the county papers.
There wuz a guffaw all over the
country. Xot one of us knowed that
Flora was a female! Knowledge is
power. The idee of my being a Flora
the goddess uv Uowers, and sich ! I
mite ez well put on a white muslin
dress, with low neck and short sleeves,
and stand in a tabloo ez the Goddess
uv Liberty!
But we endoored the lafture of the
populis at this blunder, and went to
work vigorously to drum lip recroots.
We held daily meetins in" the back room
of the Jackson Hotel; discussIn the
wrongs uv tbe labotin classes. To see
u? there waz a site which shood hev
melted the hearts uv the laborin men.
Billin3es favorite attitude wuz leanin
on his elbows ,011 a temporary bar.
Pettus, lying on a long table, at full
length, mournfully wettin his lips ever
send arrrort witn a littlo whisky and
water, while IV.athers wuz tipped" back
in a cheer, with his feet on a winder
sill,, where, he cool see the soiufuv toil,
whose interests he wuz watt-Inn over,
sweatin in a distant field.
"0!;serve,"saul Blathers, "that honest
yeomanry a jmttin in his nnrequiteil
.toil. My sole aches for him."
Ani to drown his sorrows at the site,
Mr. Blathers ordered a gl;ss uv whisky,
rernarkin to tho landlord in the most
absent minded manner to jist ch.dk it
do-vn, wieh tho landlord, havin heerd
the concloodin sentence uv the order,
in an ekally absent-minded manner
didn't bring the likker at all. His ou
feeling remark wuz that he was jist
out uv chalk!
That afternoon I got hold uv three
farmers, and had a long and satisfac
tory talk with them. They were in
censed agin monopolies, and were ready
to jine in a movement to bust em. I
told em uv our new organization, and
invited em to come with me and cnrc'll
themselves with a choice b ind uv no
ble speriis, who was n-goin to bust
their bonds and elevate labor to its
proper place.
"Are you willin to jine sich a holy
croosadeV" I demanded. "Are yoo wil
lin to jine an organizashen wieh will
give the fanners uv the count r ji
proper reward for their labor, wieh will
give em, in short, wat belongs to cm?"
"We air! we air!" said they in ko
rious. "Then, come with me," ?ed I.
I ushered Vni into the back room of
the Jacksonville Hotel.
"BiHins, Blathers, P' tus," I yelled : leader;- the highest qualities of persoii
exultingly, "here is three honest yeo-- al character and official integrity. The
manry who lies bin ground i'.t ' the j Republic can never be in danger when

The Republican party is responsible
for those measures and acts which it
endorses or defends. To hold it ac
countable for every act of its servants
is to condemn a community for every
transgression of the law. Xo code of
laws can make men honest; no organi
zation can be entirely free from rascali
ty. Laws can restain the disorderly and
punish dishonesty; organizations can
repudiate rascality when found. Be
yond this neither law nor organization
can be justly held responsible for the
shortcoming of those who are dishon
estly inclined. Human judgment is
often in error; confidence, apparently
well founded, is abused; men who hold
good reputations fail; thc trusted tunx
out rascals. This has been so from
the foundation of time, and will, in all
probability, continue to the end. The
best we can hope for is that bad men,
as soon as known, rhall be driven from
power; that questionable public meas
ures shall b denounced; that good
men shall be selected to right the
wrong done; and that a sharp watch

time being called to represent and pro- j
tect the. people's interests. The purest
individual that ever lived has made
mistakes; has reposed confidence in
tm worthy raen To expect otherwise
is to look for perfection ru human na
ture. Tlie best party that can be or
ganli'f l by the wisdom, intelligence,
and patriotism of the nation will at
times bo led into the support of men
who will prove unworthy of public
confidence. To endorse the acts of these
men would be to transfer their iniqui
ty to the party itself; to promptly re
pudiate them is to elevate tho party
above reproach or censure. We should
draw a broad line between the bad
faith of a servant and tlie good inten
tions of his master. The Republican
party has has had its faitldess servants,
but in no case has it attempted to
shield them from the punishment they
earned. As soon as discovered the
party has repudiated them, and entered
before the people its earnest protest
against thei r acts. The record of every
Republican State Convention gives evi
dence of a Sterling morality among the
J masses of the people. Never in its his
tory has its standard cf public integri
ty stood as high as it does to-day. It
demands honest men for public posi
tions ami is determined to have them.
Xo measure, no act, no character can
hope to be whitewashed by the Repub
lican party. Both man and measure
must stand upon their merits. If they
are just and true; the party will be
quick to support and advocate them ;
if unjust and dishonest, they will be
consigned to oblivion. We have faith
in a party that stands guard over the
actions of its servants; that is ready
to repudiate whatever H wrong; that
is independent enough to exact from
unless we Have goo.l, sound leet. Uur

" Tho fro; of a horse's foot should, in
no case, be cut with a knife. The frog
is like sponge, in its natural state, and
contains a substance resembling milk
and water which nourishes the foot.-
If the frog is cut so as to let out this
another excuse for depriving horses of
their oats; while the trouble is in the
shoer's cutting away the frog.
A valuable mare had been lame for
sometime; but, after B. had shod her

the owner, "What you have done has

THIRD PARTIES.
There are certain politicians, incur
own party as well as in that of the )
position, who are satisfied, tts long as
they hold fat offices and grow rich
from the pickings of the phblie table,
that their respective organizations will
last until the end of time; but once
out of office, with a poor show of get
ting back, either through election or
appointments, and they suddenly dis
cover that the party over which they
were once so eloquent is too cormpt to
hold them longer, and that an absolute
necessity exists for the immediate
formation of a new party. Of course
they ':uc no stilish ends to serve;
they neither hold nor want office, but
the good of the dear people demands a
new party, and they with patriotic .ar
dor, offer their services in engineering
a third party into tho fit-Id. A new
crop of these dii:itrested patriots
springs up after evc;y convention.
They start out with the proclamation j tho English Patent Office Reports;
that old rin-jrs and new slates must be j maguilicently re-published by the Oov
smashed. X6thin.tr but a new party ! eminent in 18 j i. there is the sneeilica-
can save the country, and administer
its Government in the interest of the
dear people. But the people are slow
to accept their Views. The hungry ap-
pearar.ee of these disinterested proph
ets awaken suspicions that a new party
is needed more for the purpose of keeji
ing them from starvation, than for the
purpose of s.". i"ig the country from
destruction. The dear people have a
singular way of judging things. They
are very apt to conclude that the party
that was g-od enough when these fcl-
lows were ia office, ought to be a triile
better when they were out; so they
turn a cold shoulder on these third
party-makers, and leave them to go it
alone. To hear these disappointed of-
fiee-seekers talk, you would be led to
believe, that when they withdrew their
spinal cord from the public service, the
I tack bone of the party was broken.-
During the late Presidential campaign
they actually created a panic, and some,
i vor-v Sood I1lcans thought that

The saying that there is nothing ncv
under tlie sun gets quoted so often
that it seems too stale for repetition,
yet we aro constantly reminded of its
force the more the wavs and means of
tormer times are tttpjied. J he adage
has just 'received a most unexpected
itnd remarkable illustration. It is
found that the perfect idea of tho sew-
ing-nmchine was developed upwards of
ei-hty years ago, and iu l-Ingiand.
Everybody who knew Elias Howe be-
lievedhim to be utterly incapable, of
inventing anything. He was not only
uesuinie 01 niecnauieai unowieoge, nut,
was of that dull, prosaic turn of mind
which is opposed to all suggest iveness.
Where, then, did he get the id a? In
tiott of one Thomas Saints, of Green
hill Rents, in the parish of t. .Stephen,
Eondon, under date of July 17, 17'j.,
j for a composition of rt-iin :md gums
for sticking the yules of boots and
shoes together. Curiouslv cnottrrh the
specificati..n savs not a word iu regard
1 - '
to machinery, but it is i"eompanied by
a large plan In which are figured asew-
j ing-machine, a weaving-maeidne, and
j some other unimportant tu tides. The
! sewing-machine was inteniled for tlie
purpose of f -stening the 'soles to the
; uppers. There is an awl to make the
I hole hi the materials, and there is a
needle with the t'eal the top, precisely
like the Howe machine, for driving
the thread through tho hole. It is, in
j fact, in all the essential features, as
j perfect a m achine as any in use at th'j
j present day. This discovery has just
; been made by Mr. Etieius Eyon, of the
j na of Finkk & Eyon, sewing-machine
j manufacturer.-. A gentleman iu Bos-
j ton gave him the hint, a few weeks
