TYPOGRAPHIC RECOLLECTIONS.
uy tiik initial w.
So. I. AN EXTEKPKIStNO DliVIt-
Thirty odd years ago, typographical
apprentices were usually 'bound' to
iearn the art and m story of a printer'
as the old documents have it. I was
then only an indentured novice my
self, and ranked with the the juvenile
imps of the craft, many of whom re
sided in their masters households. It
frequently ecu re J that I was sent to
other offices and thus I became ac
quainted with many an odd circum
stance, and queer personages young
and old. I propose to ainuse the read
ers of the Electrotyper with occasion
al reminiscences, as opportunity and
memory permit, under the caption
above written.
The first recollection that rises in
ray mind, concerns a rollicking, scrape
grace youngater, whoso acquaintance
I made by meeting him in the morn
ings before working time. His name
was Jerry S. Like myself he was a
bound boy, not over fifteen years of
age, and 'devil, roller-bo;r, and errand
runner in common, in the establish
ment of Mr. Y. a well known and
rather eccentric printer, of Philadel
phia, at that time, but long since de
ceased, Jerry lived with his master's family
when at home, and he was obliged to
perform certain domestic services as
they happened to ba required of him.
1 shall preface my story of the lively
lad, somewhat further, by stating that
he was quick-witted, active and useful
but brim full of mischievous fun. and
fond of original experiments and per
formances, mechanical and otherwise.
He was also given to meddling with
matters not strictly within his prov
ince, en I little could escape his prying
curiosity or handling, unless well lock
ed up, whether inside or outsile the
office.
Twice each week it was Jerry's pre
scribed duty to accompany Mrs. Y., his
master's wife, to the market and carry
back the purchases. On one of these
occasion, the lady invested in half a
dozen half-grown pure-white and beau
tifully feathered chickens. These,
on account of their sprightly appear
ance, were permitted to live on and
roam the ample houseyuds of the Y's.
which premises were next adjourning
the printing office.
In a little vvhi'e the young foul3 be
ing well fed and petted, becarae very
tame and familiar with the members
and attaches of the household. Per
haps it was two or three weeks afier
their purchase, and occupation of the
new quarters, when Mrs. Y. announced
to her husband and the assembled
diners at her table, one noon, that the
growing pullets had developed a num
ber of bright scarlet feathers making
a very marked contrast with the snowy
white ones in all other parts of their
covering. When dinner was done,
master and apprentices visited the
chickens, and after close observation
all present decided they were uncom
mon, and none had ever seen similarly
marked poultry. Jerry was ou" of the
number, and for onco he was passive
aud merely looked ou.
Mr. Y. mentioned the curious plumage
of the fouls and several persons, and
ero long a number of callers came to
view them, among whom were several
so called chicken 'fanciers,' who were
so much impressed with the oddity
that they offered good sums for the
new chickens. These proffers were
not accepted, as it was not the de-ire
of tLe lady who owned the fouls, to
turn thera into money again.
Surprise aud curiosity were largely
augmented a few days latter by the
fresh discovery of Mrs. Y. that there
suddenly appeared decidedly blue
feather, in harmonious juxtaposition
to the red ones, in various parts of the
now highly prized bip?ds. .Still no one
sf-emd to have a suspicion that the
striking change in the plumage of the
tender fouls, was other than natural
to them, and not one supposed it to be
a smart bit or Jerry S's. deviltry. Even
professed poultry breeders examined
Lhem, and, being unable to explain
the peculiarity, were content to call it
a "strange freak- of nature," or that
the birds were of a new variety.
Meanwhile j Jerry, the sly dogwho
had accomplished the i;n;Ksition, hug
sred himself with very delight over his
successful delusion of s many parsons.
Mrs. Y. had a la-ge fanciful Gothic
cage raue fur her pets, and her market
Loy had the unblushing temerity to
propose a name for the r.vw style" of
fouls, whkh the simple hearted lady
actually adopted. Gradually, familiar
visitors were calmly informed that
they were the "American National
.Banner Chickens," very rare indeed as
nobody else had them. The Centen
nial was not then in vogue, or it is
bearly posible that u different appela
tion might have been suggested.
Successful adventurers and charla
tans not unfrequently are emboldened
to carry their schemes a step to. far.
This was master Jerry's fate Xot
content with fooling people to the "top
of their bent," he must need .accom
plish the. dethronement of his own ar
tistic, although unrecognized, genius
and tumble back to the common dust
heap to bo derived as an impudent
trickster. So wags the world always.
Humbug, to be accepted and admired
as wonderful and true, must never ex
hibit its most simple tool, but work
naturally, slowly, and by small degrees,
until even a preposterous thing is con
sumated. People will swallow much
if it be administered to them in small
pellets, and with due caution, until an
entirety of magnitude will bo "taken
in," and the recipients ask, as did Oli
ver Twist, '-for more." P. T. Barnum
has demonstrated this truism again
and again.
Jerry's exploits tickled him to such
an extent that he supposed he could
go still further in the same direction
with like impunity. The facts are, his
previous operations were brought
about by his dicovery, in a private re
ceptacle for such things, of several
small pots of prfe ions, bright colored
printing inka, which had never been
used in the ottice until then. In. the
place were kept gold sizing and bronze
powders, which observation had taught
the diabolical young scamp the method
of using, at that period reckoned as
oils of the "mysteries" of the craft,
comparatively ppeakijig. These latter
articles he applied with precision to
the legs and beaks of the already var
iegated fouls ;u he had before applied j
the colors to the plunge. The last
result was rather stunning. Prom
tawny drab, the parts receiving the
coatings of sizo and bronze powder
became like new brass. It was too
much. The last "fraud" was immedi
ately apparent, and it led to the discov
ery of the other.?.
Jerry received a reward of merit, in
the shape of a sharp castigation, from
the hands of his master, osleusibly for
encroachment on sacred preserves at
the office, although some thought it
was because the boy had succeeded in
victimizing his employers common
sense, in reility. For a full week af
ter his punishment the aspiring 'devil'
sullenly arid spitefully brayed out ink
aud rolled the forms.
Late comers to view the strange
birds whose fame had gone abroad,
were told they were disposed of, as in
deed they were, by being decapitated
and stripped of their gairish and fatal
though innocent glory.
One day Mr. Y. drily (perhaps
wretchedly) said to master Jerry that
he must hasten back from an errand
as the dinner that day would include a
pot-pie make from the "American Na
tional Danner" and bronzed breed of
chickens.
Jerry failed, however, to put in his
claim for a share of the (under other
circumstances) dearest dish of his de
sires. "Whether he went dinnerless or
otherwise I am not aware ; but for a
considerable time thereafter the enter
prising 'devil' dreaded a chicken meal
with others of the family because of
the memories it was liable to recall at
his expense. Mr. Y. was always talka
tive and facetious at table, and Jerry
knew he would have no chance to re
tort. I am glad to report that Jerry S.
served out his term of appienticfrhip
aud became a hand pressman, working
inXcwYoik and other large cities.
Ten years ago he emigrated to Califor
nia, whre I hope he .is thriving, and
still in the flesh, as an energetic and
good wcrkmdn such as I last knew
him to be.
