' TALES &' SKETCHES.
TUUUAILV WMI'APEn.
'" Ilotr It In Prepared.
A ULANCB AT TUB MACniNI'.HY OF TUB IKEM,
Of all the institutions of tho earth, the
modern two-punny paper i the moat won
derful. It is a photograph of the shilling
sceucs of tho world taken fresh every day.
It is a sheet holding type pictures ot man's
lile. It is the grand iesei voir into which
r poured tho events, great and 6iuall,
whicli fro to make up. the sum of the
world's hiatory. .. Of, all saleable at tides
the newspaper is the Verv Cheapest. No
other thing, containing so much and worth
so tiuicli can tie purchased for to small a
price; and the man who Mings it aside when
it contains the record of no particularly
startling event, with a "Pooh I there's no
thing iu it !" aud seems to entertain an idea
that the publisher has dciraudtd him of Lis
paltry "tuppence." is cuiltv of a piece of
absurdity tliut cannot be surpassed.
Let him reflect for a moment upon the
enormous amount of labor necessary to pre
pare that sheet; of tho vast outlay of money,
more perhaps, thau lie will expend in pur
chasing papers in till his life, requisite to
lay those bits of iuformation before him.
Let It i in think of the newcDsoer as tl-.n
grand nerve-centre, the brain, iuto which
tho iron nerves convene that reach out
North, South, East, and West, over the
Coutiuent, feeling iuto every nook and
corner of the laud, Hashing back intelli
gence of new born event, and telling 6tories
of trade, of politics, of tiuance, of crime
running cveu now far down beneath the
turbulent sea and throwing out its antcunm
iuto the fur-oil' Old World,- bringing Imck
reports ('('revolutions, convulsions, and the
overthrow of empires, almost before they
have taken place. Let him think of the
liriurcau urms of tiie press extended every
where, grasping facts, unravelling myste
ries, and bringing man in close contact ith
his fellow- man. Let him relied that all the
appliances of art ami science, the telegraph,
the steam engine., and the printing press,
are brought into play to j-ive him informa
tion : that editors, reporters, and corres
pondents all cudgel their brains for his
beneiit; tht, two or three hundred men
Imve worked long and hard in order to give
him his t.wo cents' worth, and if he be not
convinced, then he deserves to iie placed
where, hq can never more see a newspaper,
which of all things in this world is the great
civili.er and humauizer of the race.
I will endeavor to give my readers some
idea of the manner in w hich a daily, paper
is prepared, and a description of the varied
processes through which it goes. Tboarticlx
will necessarily bo' brief, as an extended
description is out of tho question in mch
limited space.
Editors.
Of course the editorial rooms and tho
loings therein will comu Cut iu order, as
they aru the source from whence proceeds
all the material that tills the pnprr. There
oro various kinfjs of Editors. News Edi"
tors, riuancial and Commercial . Editors,
Literary Editors and Editorial writers, com
prise the species most in use. Some papers
have a Managing Editor, who exercises a
general supervision over tho whole paper.
He decides, finally, w hat shall or. shall not
he put in tho paper, and he is held responsi
ble fur any blunders which may occur. The
gentleman who writes nearly all the lenders
aud editorials, expressing the views of the
paper, can hardly be called, a fixture. Ho
drops in the morning, glances over tho ex
changes, selects subjects, writes, and disap
pears, generally when he has furnished
enough copy for thu next day. The clip-
ping nnu veicciions oi mutter are generally
le" n "e Ke-wa.
liditor, ot w hom nio.-o
presently. The Literary Editor looks enre-
i fully through tlm books received, aud gives
' his opinion of tliem to the public, He is
- the terror of authors, the mighty judge at
whose tribunal tho writers of books stand
I in trembling ao to receive their sentences.
) lie is supposed to bu a man of culture, taste,
( and extended reading, and he should also
possess line critical powers.
The Financia' Editor span
day among the merchants an
' ,j xisinl Street. He is "a pel

spend most of the
l money-kings
ripatetic stock
list, a very walking gold thermometer. Ho
I can tell you tbe exact quotations of "Read
ing," and it you let uuu into "a nice thing"
in that line, he can render you valuable
service in "bulliug" or "beuring" it, in his
article next day. He can tell you the pre
cise price of feathers, the number of coal oil
barrels shipped to Europe on a given day,
or the amount of soda ash received. Lie is
hand in glove with the brokers, and is a
perfect adept at w hat is technically called
'grinding axes" for himself and friends.
Tub Nkws Editor
Does much of the drudgery of the office.
During the day he makes clippings from
exchanges aud decides upon contributed
articles. He occupies thu room w liich ts
facetiously called tho "sanctum," but which
is constantly troddeu Ly the pruj'uie feet of
bores, who come on various errands. 1 One
drops in to inquire the price of soap, another
to state his opinion of the proper manner of
conductiug the paper; a mini with a tierce
countenance inquires savagely for the
Editor, and wants 60me fancied iniurv
atoned for; another fellow Is obsequious, as
he lias an article he would like mseried ; a
theatrical agent desires a puff for his esta
blishment, and leaves ticket or two to
secure that end j a politician is polite and
courteous., because .he wishes the Editor's
support, while a thousand others, each with
a Uill'erent want, drop in during the day.
Din tue -News suitor receive them all with
suavity, and generally rraDgu Blatters to
their entire satisfaction. - ...

which serve to break the monotony of tbe
matter and divide it for the convenience of
the reader. He also noes, over tho "New
York letter" to see that there is nothing im
proper in it, aud mayhap if it does not come
in time he writes one himself, for the News
Editor is it versatile youth, and can turn his
hand to almost anything. Wiien the matter
is all set uu in tvpe. the proofs are sent
down for his supervision. .
' "; Tub LocAt RKPonTKnu.
In the next room to htm are tiie local re
porters. These nil havo special duties al
lotted to them. One attends to the Courts,
another to the Central Station and nolice
affairs; another to meetings and matters
generally, and there is (icrhaps a phono
grapher who reports Speeches and interest
ing evidence in full. These gentlemen are
enterprising, energetic and hard-working.
i uey uo not get hall the credit tney deserve.
They will walk livo miles to a "tire, rush
frantically into a light to ascertuin who is
hurt, and go into ecstncii's over n fall from
a third story window, or the perpetration of
a "horrible homicide.11 Mild and (perfectly
harmless themselves, they dciight in blond
shed. Honest as honor itself, they rejoice
greatly in a flint class burglary. They are
without doubt the most important men on
a newspaper, and I question whether two
or three iirst-claes reporters nro not more
valuabio than even a titlented editorial
writer. They are generally on duty uutil
twelve o'clock, when the police telegraph
at the Central Station closes for the night.
So much for the Editorial .'department, to
which it is difficult to do jus; ice in t;uch a
limited space. Next in order comes tho
Composing Room,
of which no extended, description is neces
sary. It is filled witli long rows of cases,
containing type, nt each of which a compo
sitor is fingering the tiny letters that are to
utter to-morrow such divcrso and varied
sentiments. The "copy," as it is called, is
seut to the foreman, who cuts it up into bits,
numbers it so that it can be put together
again correctly, and distributes it aiound
the office.
Eacli compositor has n number of which
he is known, and when he lias set up his
matter he' bands it to the foreman, with a
"(.lug" containing that number at tho bead
of it, so that when the proof is taken ..and
Umj tnaltei measured on pay day, the exact
quantity of work he has done may bo ascer
luiuvd. Tbe proofs then go to the '
Phoop TIeadek,
au unhappy individual, who with the "Jevil'
to hold the manuscript, has to read every
line that goes in the paper, advertisements
and all, while tho poor "devil," who is gen
erally a very small boy, dozes and nods
through the long columns of tiresome sen
tences "What do yon read, my lord V
'Words, words, words!"
and as he reads them he makes thu necessa
ry corrections on the margin of the proof
sheet, and it is handed back to tho compo
sitor for correction. When the "inside"
pages are ready, they are placed in the.
"form," and the typo is tightly wedged. iu
its place. Then the forms are all ready for
thu
SlBREOTVl'lNO IlOOMB.
Iii old times when nine and ten thousand
copies were considered a large edition of a
newspaper, and the old-fashioned press turn
ed out but one at R time, stereotyping a
newspaper was not thought of. lint now
with big editions and fast presses that print
20,000 in an hour, and turn out six pupers
at one time, it is necessary to stereotype to
prevent the wearing out of the type, and
also in order to curve the phito to fit the re
volving cylinder of the press. Sometimes,
also, three or four presses are used, aud du
plicate plates aro necec sary.
The process is simply this. The forms arc
laid upou a table and covered with it thick
sheet of papier mache, wliich is beaten and
pressed upon thu type until a full and cor
rect impression of it is left upon thu mould.
This is then baked until thu heal of thu
type hardens tho papr pulp, when it is re
imiued. This is culled the matrix, and is
placed in a concave mould with a close fit
ting lid. and mefted had is poured upon
it. receiving f ho impression, aud beeomiug
an exact duplicate of tho type, but in onu
hard block, and in a cuuvvx, fortu to fit the.
press cylinder,
Tbo curve of course varies with the kind
of pies used. One. of the principal papers
iu this city uses three dill'erent curves, the
most peculiar being a pertect cylinder, not
more than eiizht or ten inches in diameter,
containing the whole of four patres of the
miner. This is nsed in the Bullock press, ot
which I will speak further on. When the
plates are taken from tho mould tTiey are
cut to fit the press esartly, sod sent down
into the press room, which is in tho cellar
of the building.
The TftEts Room.
Here lienestli the pavement is a huge
steam boiler, hissing and foamirg, troddeu
over by thousands of people every day, who
do not dream of the mighty power beneath
their feet. It furnishes the propelling pow
er to the swift and noiseless steam engine in
tho room, which, in he turn, connected by
strap and pulleys, set every bit of ma
chinery in the building to whirling and Hy
ing around.
At the other end of the cellar stands the
Hoe press, a huge mecliunical giant, perhaps

This is a perfect marvel of mechanical in
genuity and skill. It is a little machine, not
onu-fourth the size of the Hoe press, jet it
prints 10,000 papers, on both sides, an hour,
and does away entirely with manual labor.
Both tho "inside" and "outside" cylinder
plates are placed in it at the same time, with
a blanket above each for the. typo to press
the paper against. The paper to be printed
on is in a continuous .roll several miles in
length. It is "wet down" by being unwound
Irnm one roller and rnpidly wound upon
another by machinery, while it thin spray of
wiiler plays cpou it, moistening the whole
muss. Then nc end is placed in tho Bul
lock pressvtlio crunk is turned, and tho tiny
ninchiiiu begins its work, printing both sides
ol the paper ut once, cutting each oil at ex
actly tho right length, nod turning the
printed ahocts out with lightning rapidity
upon the platform.
Thk Nu.vnun of 3riiN Employed

is little less than OHO. A everything is done
by gusliitlir. a burner being placed over each
type setter's ense, anil on nil sides of the ma

the mi s bills are enormous, sometimes
amounting to as much as $IU00 n year. The
cost of special correspondence from various
places, is often f-jliOO or $700 a week in busy
tiuies, while, extra work is often required,
which litis to be paid for liberally.

Conservation of ICogs and Wood bt

full, iiiiisliinii bv a bed of salt. Knra time
prepared have been kept one year perfectly
fresh. In Sardinia, salt is used also to pre- .

since I promised you I would write you my
mode of managing fowls. First I will tell
you how I treat old. fowls, and at another
timo will tell you how I raise chickens.,
I keep say ten or twelve hens and ono or
two cocks, in a run of about one-eighth of an
ucre. My houses are about 10 feet- long by
0 wide, divided in two u room for roosting
nnd another for laying. I feed, corn, oats,
fresh meat, shells, and vegetables; such as
potatoes, onions, cabbages, mid, this time of
year, tomatoes, which I think very good for
both laying liens anil also chiekons, Oats I
keep so that my fowls can get at them at
any time. The shells I use are a small, soft
clam shell; I get them at the sea shore; alien
will swallow the very lnrgest of them. These
1 consider convenient, as it saves pounding.
Tho fresh meat I get of the butcher lights
and such and 1 use a sausage cutter for
grinding it. I feed meat about three times
a weckv ' ' '
With this treatment I. get egg the year
round. Of course 1 keep iny house cleau
and free from lice.
I also have a place where my bens can
wallow. This I consider indispensihle. 1
mix ore bushel of wood ashes with four of
coal, and add one pound of sulphur and about
the sapio of lime.. Lice will not stay ou bent
that wallow in this.
Now a word iu regard to the. merit of
Leghorras and Brabnias. Mr. John S. Ives
of Salem, Mass., tny he tiuds that Leghorns
are tender, requiring a warm placet iu winter,
and a good deal of extra care. Last winter
1 kept my Leghorns in a house that was not
at all warm ; you could see out of any of tho
cracks; and they laid all winter. Neither
do I find them tender as he says. I have lost
but very few this eu minor by disease. Tha
Brahmas I liko very well ; they are a good
winter layer, but do. not lay much in summer
with me; they lay a few eggs and then will
set, and it takes at least four weeks, to get
them to laying ogain, while the Leghorn
seldom tets co more than one in ten will
set at all.
Transplanting Labor Trees. Tho
sooner large trees are transplanted aftcrthcy
are done growing for the season, more cer
tainly will they grow ; and not merely grow
but thrive. Many large irees, from being
tennr.plantcd lute in November, cr still worse,
iu thu spring, frequently become cheeked in
their growth, and remain at a stand-still tor
two or three years, sometimes never recover
ing and becoming desirable trees. By re
moving, however, as soon as the appearance
of a heavy frost, or when it is seen by the
color of the leaf ucd its beginning to fall
taking care to lift it without injury the
roots will, beforo cold weather sets in, tnnkn
themselves at home in their new abode, and
pretty well establish themselves; so that
when spring comes around, they will go on
crowing with very littje or no diminution in
their previous progress.

Makiso Butter. A correspondent of
the Western Rural give the following a
the proces by wliich he makes butter which
sells at 50 cents per pound, while an ordi
nary article was bringing only 80 to 85 cents.
The butter is takon from the churn and
placed in n wooden vessel and worked over
with a thin, soft piece of cotton or linen
cloth, frequently wringing it out with cold
water as it become saturated with butter
milk, keeping tho hands out of the butter a
much as possible, until every drop of tha
liquid is taken from it. Straining tbe cream
is injurious, and consequently it should be
kept free from all particles of dirt, Ac.,
which requiro it to be strained. Hence the
necessity of the most scrupulous cleanliness
of all vessels, &c with which milk, cream
and butter come iu contact.
