"With the Knights Templar rests the secret
of combining the grand and enjoyable. The
reception of the Mount Cavalry commandery
ot Masonic hall on Thursday evening was
without doubt the most brilliant and delight
ful gathering of the devotees of society dur
ing the season. Two or thrco days had been
spent in decorating the rooms alone , and the
results of this labor was most enchanting.
The lodge rooms nnd dining hall were tastily
adorned with ( lowers and smllax , hut the
greatest piece of artistic work was the deco
ration of the dance hall. The upper half of
the walls were completely hidden with largo
flags , while immediately below them were
numerous banners bearing the mysterious
insignia of tlio order. On the front of the
hall two great flags were draped apart to expose -
pose the huge painting of n mediaeval castle ,
the knights' stronghold. The platform in
front of this was completely covered
with potted plants , in three corners
of the room stood tents , liiHide
of them n simple repast called the "pilgrims1
farewell. " The muijnlllcent banners of the
order stood near these , ono of them glitter
ing with costly diadems. Near the door
stood n knight's steed caparisoned and ready
for battle. The long hallway leading from
the dance room to the banquet hall was hum ;
nnd canopied with flags , nnd was lltly dubbed
the "lover's lane. " At the north end of this
was a locomotive headlight , but the glare of
It was subdued by placing tissue paper on the
glass.
At 0 o'clock the trumpet sounded nntl the
knights in full uniform tiled into the hall to
the stirring strains of "Marching Through
Georgia , " Their evolutions were superb and
were loudly applauded.
Major Clurkbou then delivered the welcom
ing address. Dnnciug followed , and the ele
gant dancing programmes were gems of
taste and art , nnd will long bo treasured as
beautiful souvenirs of a delightful occasion.
After the tripping of seven numbers the
company mavehcd to the dining hall at the
south end of the building , where , amid good
fellowship and repartee , n splendid supper
was partaken of. The following is the unique

The average reader of a newspaper who
picks up his daily ana cat of ully scans its pages ,
does not perhaps for ono moment consider
by what means ho is enabled to inform him
self upon nil the current events of the day ,
and perhaps has never given the subject any
thought whatever. It is to this class of people
ple that this article is especially dedicated ,
and while it may seem to some who are thor
oughly informed as to the fuels In the case
that a degree of partiality has heon exhibited
by the writer , inasmuch as only tlio rcpor-
toriul nnd editorial force of the paper are
given attention in the dissertation following ,
it must bo borne in mind that they , and they
alone , are the essential forces used in col
lecting the news and In writing the com
mentary articles concerning the most im
portant events. It must bo remembered
that the prime factor of modern Journalism
is the reporter. Hear in mind that the edi
torial writings nro based upon matter fur
nished by the same individual. File it in tlio
archives of your memory that the jokes nnd
puns originate in minds which have grasped
idcuo from information contributed by the
same party that Is with ono exception u cel
ebrated humorist in this city whoso olforts nt
wit uro founded on subjects never read in
newspapers and you can ulso record it ns n
fuel that the miscellaneous matter which is
served up for your entertainment and instruc
tion , is also manufactured after the same
fuhhion.
There nro several classes of reporters , nnd
it is of tlio several distinctions that this arti
cle is Intended to speak , liosldo mentioning
incidentally the general character of their
work. There ia the political man , who at
tends all ward meetings and knows person
ally every precinct poll tvorkcr und capper
In the city : who attends ( sessions of the coun
cil , nnd is hand In glove with nil its mem
bers who addresses the president of that nu-
gUBt body as "old pard" and "Hill My Hey , "
and Is in return slapped ( in the back fam 11-
iarly by the aforesaid chief ofllccr of the
body mentioned. Thi * man usually wuars a
low-crowned Derby hut , checked trousers ,
lieu Jacket coat und polka dot tie , Ho is an
imlispi'iisib'.o adjunct for n dully inas
much us like the religious reporter ho cun
tnlto n nporting item when the chief of that
dcp.irtmont is sick.
Tncn there Is the sporting reporter , who
generally owns n dog anu whoso room is dec
orated with two pairs of second-hand boxing
gloves , two rusty foils , onu J ml urn club , u
catcher's maskiund gloves and u picture of
John It , Sullivim and .Tuy-K.vo Hen. Ho
wears ueano with a very largo head , a till :
tie and usually sports u nunlup hut. Ho la n

u horde race , but it is best about that time to
bo Hornowhut shy , for the best men have
ttieir fuilings , and the sporting rcpm-ter IH uo
exception t- > the general rule of humanity.
Tlio court reporter next claims attei.tion ,
and is noted chiefly for tlio frequent repeti
tion of the words "thcruforo" und "afore
said" in his copy. Ho is usually capable of
giving lllacksiono poiutois , and can pick
flaw * in ono of lieu Hutlcr'u ' indictments.
Ho is froriunuty ! discovered in conversation
with u juror , who with cloven others has
Just handed in n Bculeii verdict , court having
ucljouruod , in order to ot a ' 'scoop" on the
paper.
The railroad mun wears a blue null when
ho can got i' ' , , und ib usually found at the ( . ' < m-
enil ofllccs in convjrsutiau with thqgener.il
superintendent , who taken his punishment as
meekly QH possible , or ciso In tno yards tulk-
iug with Hwitchmcn who tells him of the
trouble ho has with the former employe
wbcso place ho has takeu , and regales him
witli the number of times ho has been
"licked" within the last twcnty-foiitf
hours. The railroad reporter can toll
you tlio number ot mile * of trade
laid on the Fremont. Elkhorn
t Missouri Valley road during the past year ,
nntl can plvo you the ruto. on n shipment of
jrcUtoes from I'ortVod. Oro. , to ICnuana
City , or the lumber . -Iff from Oinahn to
Fremont. Ho is also competent to state nv
exactly what tltno No. W ) I mil bo brought
out of the shops. Ono ot his principal du *
tics Is to write "send-offs" for friends of
railroad officials who nro In the city.iu return

while writing his copy bores the other follow !
with n description of Mrs. St. Mary's now
dress and Miss Chnrlottn's elegant walU
step , for which ho Is usually treated to n
shower bath of paper weights and pusto
brushes. His life is generally tcrmtnatoil
suddenly before he has attained the ngo of
thirty years.
Thohumorlst Is the man with the consump
tion east of countenance- who is constantly
under the doctor's supervision. His duties
consist of grinding out ono nowjokoiicc
week. In order that his groans may not dia
turb the other writers his room is located la
the basement behind the press room. A good
henlthy humorist can make over MOO pec
year if ho tries hard. His Jokes usually llvd
longer than ho. [ See Josephus' history , veX
J , p WW. ]
The market reporter Is the man who prlccit
everything from beef cattle to turnips , ana
Is authority on rules on tallow , cgga ana
other staples. Ho spends most of his time in
commission houses nnd always has an orangq
or n Hurt let t pear in his pocket. Ho also
carries n straw with which ho samples bar *
rets of choice Michigan elder. When water *
melons nro in style ho is seen behind n nma
with a wheelbarrow conveying two largo )
specimens to the business otUco for exhibi
tion.
tion.Tho religious editor , ns ho Is called , the )
title "reporter" being ono grudo too tlow , haa
what Is termed a "snap , " nnd collects Sun- .
tiny sermons for Monday's Issue. Ho also
gives valuable Information to parties on "tho
city nt 12 midnight , " etc.
Tlio managing editor Is tlio unfortunate In
dividual who has to read nil the matter fur
nishcd by the above gentlemen und punctu *
nto It , strike out Hupertluous words aud
mark n blue lead pencil down the ilrst ilvo
lines of nn item , which means "lead. " His
patience is generally equal to Hint of n gen
tleman named Job who nourished several
years ago. Only on ono occasion docs that ;
quality cense to bo u virtue , and then the reporter
porter who has got "scooped" on un iniporU
ant item realizes it , especially so if It Is his
third offense.
The editor-in-chief generally owns tlifl
paper and writes editorial nnd instructs the ,
boll boy to tell the man who has culled to In-
ijuiro "who writ that pieco" that ho is out nt
the smnc time. Ho is assisted in his \mder-
takings by two or thrco lieutenants , ono of
whom is detailed to entertain lady book
agents nnd other cullers while the other
kills spring poets who cheese to drop in ,
Tlio entire force on a daily nowspapow
work almost unceasingly in behalf of thlotf
respective journal. The outside men which
includes nil the rcportoriul writers , perform
in addition to tlio several duties mentlonctl
above , other work. The sporting editor may
on his return from u cocking inulii get a
funeral , while the society man returning ;
from u wedding may bo culled upon to wrlto
up u horriblemurder. . Tlio scribe who has ,
laughed until his sides ached ut the funny *
situations in "Hunch of ICoys" is liable to bo1
assigned llio duty ot describing u fearful
railroad accident. And KO it goes , from
morn till night and vice versa , tha. reporter/
is on the alert , over ready to testify that
'eternal vigilance is the price of u scoop. "
Tlio nutsidu world knows nothing of hid
luLors beyond the fact that inaybo porbups oil
ono occasion he has bored them somewhat by
asking ( lucstions'on an apparently trivial mat"
tor. They imagine that llfo with him Is ona
perpetual round of pleasure und that with
frco passes to everything in the shape of en
tertainment , both amusing und instructive ,
ho cannot bo else but happy. Hut ho In not
entirely so. His listening to an opera with
the knowledge of the fact that nt its
conclusion he must retire to his room anil
write a just criticism mars the serenity of
feeling ho would otherwise experience. His
appetite for supper ut un nnnuitl banquet ia
destroyed by reason of his knowing that ho
must publish the bill of furo. His heart
grows sick at the thought that when the bull/ /
ut which ho appears llio gnyest of the gay ;
dis ended he must write full particulars , anil
thus it is through life. He dies finally and'
when his spirit crosses tlio Ktretun that/
divides this life from tlio other , the watchman - *
man on the jasper wall recognizes him ntf
once and only thcro is ho appreciated. At ?
his approach the gates of pearl swing opeix
on their golden hinges and passing under thq
portals whoso columns glitter with the
splendid Jewels from the heart of paradise ha
floats up the golden streets and reaps his reward -
ward in denial pleasures in that hind when
newspapers do wet exist.
M. JACKSON. '
K CloulCH.
Now York Mail and Kxprcss : it ia
erroneously supposed by inntiy that a
sclf-windintfcloek muslobtain its motive )
power from uluolriunl notion und there
by be subject to the inimy objections
and hindrances resulting from tin entire )
dependence on a constant current.
"Tho motive power of our clock , "
said tlio general agent of n largo con
cern on Dey street to a reporter , "is de
rived from the action of a line spring , aa
in tlio ordinary clock. The term self
winding rosuita from the following :
Two small cells of a battery are placed
ia the top of tlio ease and connected with
a motor securett to the lower part of the
movement. As the center wheel ,
driven by the unwinding of the spring ,
makes one revolution around the nub it
brings up a loose arm which slips undoi ;
a stationary projecting arm fastened to
the train plate. Tlio moment the con
tact takes place the circuit IB closed ,
and the action of the little motor ro
tates the barrel containing the Bprhifj
one revolution from left to right , and
and winds up just as much of tlio sprinpf
as has been required to run tlio cloclc
during tlio last nlxty minutes , Tlio
"
bprlng barrel itself carries"an arm
which rtlidos the. loose arm from under
the projecting arm , thus breaking the
circuit ; the same operation is repeated
every sixty minutes. To thoao familiar
with mechanism it will be quite appar
ent how simple aud practical ia thia
device.
"Tho Invention lies in bringing a
motor and clockwork together iii a
timo-pieio , and is not limited to any
particular device. Kxporhmsnts prove
'
that'a motor , as constructed for tlio
purpose , can bo run for ono year at an
expense of legs than "on ; hence a clock
may bo .scaled up and left to itself for n
period of at least one year with n cer
tainty of closer time during that neriod
than cun bo seimred by any other Iniov/n
method of giving time , In short , n
common clock constructed on this prin
ciples lias been found to keep aa
accurate time as oao ot the higher
grades with gravity oscayomonts , run
by the old methods. "
Self-winding clocks are in great de
mand by railway cornorations , some of
which now have them in operation ,
notably' tlio Now York Central and'
Hudson Kivor railroad company and tha
liulUmoro and Ohio Telegraph com
pany in their otllccb in this city.
