DISCIPLES OP t-RAXKLIff. The Tvpotheta; of the City of New York ate tbr-ir annual dinner it Delmonico's last evening. The Typotheta; are an association of the disciples of Benjamin Franklin, and Satnrdav wa the ISOih anniverea tt of Franklin's birth. Tradition has it that when the father of Amer ican printing first entered Philadel phia he had a loaf of bread under each arm and was gnawinjr a third. The tasteful decorations of the big dining room were lit up by the poft glow of the electric lights, and flags were draped over the heads of the 200 prinu-rs. !

Among the letters of regret receiv ed was the following lroin Oliver Wendell Holmes: I regret that I cannot have the pleasure of accenting the polite in vitation which you have sent me on behalf of the Typothetre to be with them at the dinner celebration of Franklin's birthday on the 18th of January. I fed sure that the meet ing ot the association of artists must prove a ruo.-t erj'iyable occassion. I call them artt", f r they are not workers in Mosaic the Mosaic which pictures thought and is not the printed page of more worth than the pn-cious stone-picture that ever came from the studios of Rome or Florence? All honor to your noble art, and to the memory of the illus trious typesetter who wielded two of the iuightie-t agencies known to mortal hands that which chains the lightning of heaven and that which unchains the spirit of the eons of the earth. RobertC Winlhrop wrote: I am highly honored iu being in cluded among the invited guests of the TypV.heta! fjr tlinir ann ual celebration of Franklin's birthday. No name ia so worthy of 'eing com memorated by the patriot printers of our own country as that of Ben jamin Franklin. I would gladly unite in such a celebration. But I am constrained to deny myself, and can only offer to the Typothet;e of New York my bel thanks for their kind remembrance of me. Y. I). Ilowells in his letter said : "As a printer of many years experi ence in our art, 1 should have been glad and proud to unite with you in holding the memory of the great printer." Murat Halstead asked: "Cy the way, does it not seem a mere oversight n Franklin that he did not invent the electric telegraph and the telephone and thing ?" To John Bigelow's letter was appended the following postscript : Is it not about time for the Typothetn? to make a note of the fact that the centennial anniversary o! the death of Franklin will occur on the 17th of April, lfi!)3, which is only four years off? That leaves tone to much time for making suit able reparations for the proper cel ebration of sucii an anniversary. When the solid portion of the dinner had disappeared, the orches tra in the gallery had grown tired of "Mikako" airs, and the time for making speeches had come, Presi dent Martin arose and said : Gentlrmrn of the. Ttjpathcttr and Esteemed Guests : It i.s now some 4' KJ years since Gutteuberg forged the key that opened every depart ment of learning to succeeding gen erations. He commenced in a rude crude way, but in fifty years after the introduction of the art such names as those of Jenson and Cax ton arose, and even now, with all the fine specimens that the press is turning off, their works are looked Upon as treasures of typothetical art will always be more popular. Titian, Rembrandt and Raphael will ever t ike precedei.ee of the profes sors of the art of printing. JStill there is a significance in the fact that there is only a difference of one let ter between the words printed and p timed. As men we have come down to simpler fashions, but the fa-hions of the press have steadily Milvanced in delicacy and iu the fineness of the finish of its work. Commencing with the Riverside Press, we have now Harpers, The Century and other works of the prin ters art, of which the press has no eason ta he ashamed. Printers are becoming artists as well as mechan ics. Our association has had much encouragement during the last year. There is no jealousy or antagonism among our members. We have n other end in view than that of pro moling the best interests of the trade. We have had large accessions to our membership since our last diu rer. U is only a wonder that any iiiHubiT of the profession should hnlJ bimseli alofffrom our member snip. We have here to-night gen tlemen who can address you in tortus far bpyond any at my com mand. We do not honor Franklin especially as a printer, but we honor him because, t;eing a printer, he achieved so much in politics and philosophy. Having achieved great ness, he had further greatness thrust upon him, not only by his country men, hut by foreign Governments. Let me introduce Isaac H. Bailey, w ho can tell you more about Frank lin than I. Mr. Bailey sketched the early life cf Franklin and added : Fianklin grew with astonishing rapidity, and acquired knowledge in a way beyond the comprehension of us who have had expeiience iu printing offices. He tired ol Boston. It is difficult to understand how any one could tire of Boston ; but be did. He went to Philadelphia and immortalized himself as Poor Richard. Then he went a sterj fur ther and become a great statesmen : the greatest civilian of his age. The printers of the world have cause to be infinitely proud of this graduate of the printing office. Franklin was the first Abolitionist. He was pres ident of the first society ever formed looking toward that "object. This was only one instance cf how far he was in advance of his age. We honor this great printer, and let us under all circumstances pay fitting respect 10 our great philanthroDisL philosopher and printer. Applause ine cnairman next introduced "Mark Twain" as one who could tell the company something about "The vomposiior mat ttiev bad never known before. Mr. Clemens eaid among other things : The chairman's historical rem in iecences about Guttenberu and Cm. ton have cast me into the reminiscent mood, for I also, in a small, way,am an antiquity. I was acquainted with the printer of the olden time. I sweptout his office for him and car ried his papers about for bim in the disagreeable dawn. The carrier was then an object of interest to all the dogs in town. If I bad saved op all the bitea I ever received, I could keep M. Pasteur buy for a yaar. Then followed humorous scraps from the inside history of a country weekly, which convulsed his hear era with laughter. At the call of Douglas Taylor, three cheers were given for the speaker when he sat down. "Boston was the birthplace and boyhood place of Franklin," said President Martin in continuing. "The man who knows nothing about Boeton is ignorant indeed, but we do not know all about it, and I call upon ex-Governor Rice, of Massa chusetts, to reply to the toast to 'Boeton.' Governor Rice said : Mr. President : Living, as I do, in that somewhat remote suburb of 1 AfW I I II . aTJ New York, and having only tne dia i . , nrivate citizen. I i . , . , . . , feel the honor of this reception deep ly. However doubtful of your Greek title I mav cave been wnen 1 star ted to come here.the warmth of your hospitality has removed my bashfuluess and uncertainty. The printers form no insig nificant portion of civilization. No etretcb of imagination will ena ble us to comprehend what the world might be without printers. I had always supposed them, before this exhibition of their epicurean tendencies, to be a tireless lot of men setting forth the news of the world as regularly and as tirelessly as the morning and evening stars hang over the horizon. Gentlemen, your work is a noble one. Litera ture is the immortality of epeecb. You have asked me to say some thing about Boston as the bitbplace of Franklin. He was the greatest man that Boston ever gave birth to. There is something about the na tnr of Franklin that comes to us differently than the awe with which we regard other great geniuses, There was a touch of human nature in his idacid features that endears him to us. We know that if to-day he passed along the street he would chuck the children under the chin and have a tileasant word for all of us. His genius has left its impress on that uart of Boeton which he ire auented. It is now the centre of the newspaper industry of the city Even at the early day when he was a citizen of Boston he exhibited traits of shrewdness. It is related that he wanted his father to ask a blessing 01.ee for ail over the pork barrel and thus save time at meals. Boston has a history too long for me to recite to-night She stands to day, as in the past, identified with mauy of the country's great reforms. She never flinched in revolution or rebellion. A great misfortune over took her and laid her homes in ashes, but she rose again and assumed the burden alone, notwithstanding the generous offers of assistance from all over the couutry. She clings to the old traditions of liberty. She still has the town hall that rang to the voice of Otis, and the Old South Church and Bunker Hill. But Bos ton has no particle of envy at the giant stride her sister cities are mak ing in power and prosperity. The message of Boston to you to-night, Mr. Chairman, is that your prosper ity may be boundless ; that we mav be one people in hopeand aspiration. Great applause, with three cheers for MaesachuseUs and Governor Rice. "We never tire, gentlemen, of lis tening to the spokesman from the Hub ot the universe," saia ine chairman, "but we will now hear Colonel John R. fellow on Our En tire Union.' " Colonel Fellows ex cused himself from speaking on the score of a severe cold. George b. Sturgis sang a song and the next toast, to "The Instructor," was call ed for, the Rev. Dr. Paxton rising to aeply : "This is about the hardest crowd to Fpeak to that I ever met," said he. " Who can stand up and reel off quotations and platitudes to a lot of printers who are familiar with everything that has ever been print ed? This is the celebration of Mr. Benjamin Franklin's birthday. I am proud of him because I am a fellow- citizen of his. Pennsylvania has produced two great men, Benjamin franklin, ot Massachusetts, and Al bert Gallatin, of Switzerland. Laughter. My fellow citizen, Ben jamin Franklin, came from the peo ple, like all great men. It makes no difference whether you are tan ning leather in Galena, forgotten of mankind trreat laughter or boiling soap in JJostou when the nour strikes the man comes. To come to mv topic, gentlemen, the dav when the priests held all the learning to themselves is past. Poor Richard's Almanac and Webster s Spelling Book have spoiled all that. The monopoly of learning is past- We preachers must step down and out to a certain extent before you pub lishers. When Cromwell lived, the pulpit alone could bend that arm of iron. Now all that the clergy can do is to kill off one of his candidates with the three, Rs.' Now the press has usurped our Sunday. The press is over the pulpit You new teach ers have Ewept us aside. This is the age of the newspaper and the peri odical. The bookmaker forms opin ions. The modern Old Man of the Mountains on the shoulders of man is the press. No man is ever tne wiser for reading the newspapers No one would be more ignorant for never reading them ; but you want news. Reading cannot make any man wise if the gentleman wants tomaks my speech I will sit down." Here Dr. Paxton did sit down with considerable emphasis while everybody stared in the direction fram which several half-uttered rt marks had come. There was a pro longed clapping of hands, and Douglas Taylor got up and said he hoped all the members would ex tend the common courtesy of a hear ing to their guest There was more applause, and shouts of "Go on 1" Dr. Paxton said that he had finish ed, but was finally prevailed upon to conclude. "The interruptions were very annoying," eaid he. "I'm a soldier, and the fact is, I lost my temper." Then, taking up his notes again, he continued: "You may fill the world full of books and with out action therein no wisdom. I am never afraid of a man with a great library. The man with three books uell digested is more to be feared. Idleness ia the root of all newspapers. The rage for bigness is killing us. And the newspapers are creating the rage. We are all iused into one sentient mass, and monopolies do all our work for us. The individual is but a pawn. We mast go back to the importance of the individual if we want to preserve our liberties. The talking man can beat your press every time. A voice "No, sir" Well, let's differ then. The two men who moved this world more than any others, Christ, of Galilee, and Socrates, of Athens, never wrote a word. The press never wrought a revolution- It was the Garrisons that brought on the Civil War. But, gentlemen , -v inns, ivu a iui u. unit. iiii'niinunu Dirni careful of your power." Prolonged applause. After Dr. Paxton's bristling speech there was a comparative lull. The chairmon then called on the poet and critic, E. C. Stedman, to answer for "The Author." Mr. Stedman was received with applause and spoke in substance as follows : Mr. Chairman, Gentlemen, and Fellow Matter Frintert ? Dr. Pax ton's plea ws, "Hear me for my cause and be silent that you may hear," and that reminds me of an other quotation from Shakespeare, that "the words of Mercury are harsh after the songs of Apollo " ; and so I fear mine may be after the eloquence of our friend, the clergyman. But we are all here at the guest-table, being fattened, like Sinbad's com rades' in the old Arabian Nights' tale, to be offered up at last each one in his turn- Laughter. Gov. Rice's praise of Boston carried me back to my own reminiscences of that delightful solidarity which is the pride of the house of all genuine New Englanders, for I myself am one of them. "Ah," said Mr. Os good to me once, " As long as I live in Boston I have some place to go to but if I move to New York, where shall I go ?" He lives in New Y'ork now. and takes it out in going to England. Applause. There was one Boston diguity, however, which Franklin missed. If the gentleman who bo plentifully punctuates our remarks will not call out "chestnut " I mean to say that his mother was not a Cabot, or 111s lamer a oai tonstalL 1 cannot quite agree to Dr. Pax ton's dispraise of books. The three greatest generals of Europe have conlessed thattneir oesvreaumg was in " Plutarch's Lives." And rank lin's autobioeraohv opens with the henteuce, "From my youth up was a ereat reader of books." Au thors have gotten up somewhat in the world now. In Johnsan's time thev used to have to hide behind screens at the dinners of publishers, but now they have seats at the table of honor, even if they do write what mv frieud on thelelt has called Dog wash.' Yet the greatest books, the books that stain p themfelves on eras, are not written by professional authors. Shakespeare wanted his plays at the Globe to succeed and give him a decent competency as a country gentleman. That was all. Bunyan was too much wrapped up in his own salvation to iuiuk 01 an or reputation, and I fear Mother Goose wrote her melodious lays with out an expectation of literary fame. We professional authors are looking for spoils, and we haven't yet gotteu our lair share. The publisher takes CO per cent, of the proceeds, gives 30 to the printer, and generously leaves the author 10. The only safe plan is !orusto tu.n publisher, like Mark Twain. The successful authors now- davs are the first ladies of the iard, the anonymous writer of " Buntling Balls." or the hollow jesters we are pleased to call American humorists. I once thoucht my friend on my left belonged to this latter class. No public, certainly, was ever more de spicably treated man oy ine canvass ers of " Roughing It" and "Inno cents Abroad," who used to sell those wretchedly printed and bound volumes lor $3.50 apiece. But after all the bad paper and type we got our money's worth, as I found. And it anv one is to be mentioned in 19S6 in the first century of American literature, it will be Mark Twain. Mr. Carlton was called 00 to re spond to the" Journeyman Printer," and said that he felt like the gentle man of African descent who always used to begin everything with a reli gious ceremony. His master told him he was going to flog him with in an inch of his life. " Wei!," he said, "the congregation will now look to the Lord and be dismissed.' The world owes more than it thinks to the journeyman printer. It is he who cives the orator his trumpet tongue, the author his million-pointed pen. On the old farm in Michi gan where the speaker lived in his bovhood, the newspaper waa tne only ray of light which came into that dreary life. And there was au old journeyman printer out there under the snow to whom he owed, next to God, mother and home, all that he held dear on earth. "The Publisher" was responded to by H. O. Houghton about 1 o'clock, after several song9 and cho ruses, the meeting broke up. The Wonde.-sol Cocaine. The beneficent properties of co caine seem not yet exhausted ; ior now a New York physician (Dr. J. M. Roberts) tells us that he has per formed two serious operations with out the aid of ether or chloroform, under the anaesthetic power of coca ine. It seems that it the blood circu lation in a part is checked or stag nated by an Esmarch or other rub ber bandage, the anaesthetic effects of this drug may be indefinitely pro longed. Imagine a boy, 4 years old, under going a most severe operation, ob serving intently each cut of the knife and eick vibratian of the saw, and smilingly meeting the eye of the op erator. Does not such a picture seem Utopian ? Yet such was the attitude of the boy upon whom Dr. Roberts operated. If we can do away with the unpleasaut features of ether or chloroform anjpnetiz tion, and banish pain during surgi cal operations by injecting deeply cocaine, we have truly made great advance. What ia Becoming. Never put ruffles on a stout figure. Put any amount of trimming on a slender figure. The color of the hair should regu late the costume. Auburn hair warrants plenty of white around the neck. A short, fleshy lady wants to be trimmed perpendicularly. "Say," 6aid the editor's smart lit tle son, as he entered a store, "do you keep knives?" "Oh, yes," re sponded the 6tore keeper, "we've kept them for years." "Well re plied the boy. starting for the door, "you ought to advertise and then you wouldn't keep them so long." A female teacher in a public school was amazed the other day by seeing a whole forest of juvenile hands fly up in the air and shake and gesticulate wildly. "What do you want?" queried the puzzled instructor. Chorus: "Yer hair's falling off." Gay old gentleman to boy, on 12th birthday : "I hope you will improve in wisdom, knowledge and virtue." Boy, politely returning the com pi i ment,totally unconscious of sarcasm: "The same to you sir !" An English lady recently ordered a dress trimmed with canaries, which required the sacrifice of nearly one! A Tritmte lroeu Coaaling. Utica, N. Y., Jan. 20. General. George H. Sheridan addressed a large meeting which was held in the Opera Bouse this evening under the auspices of the local Grand Army post in aid of the Grant Mon ument fund. Ex-Senator Conkling had been invited by the posts and by a large number of his former neighbors to preside, but sent the following letter of regret : New York, Jan. 8, 18S6. Gentlemen: Having conferred previously and fully on the subject with a committee several days ago, still I beg to acknowledge directly the honor of your letters inviting me to preside at a meeting to be held at Utica next Monday evening under the auspices of the Grand Army of the Republic in aid of the Grant Monument fund. You will not doubt that a summons from so many distinguished citizens, eo many neighbors and valued friends, would always command my pres ence unless some serious obstacle stood in the way. Nor is it needful toe peak of my profound and affec tionate respect for the great memory, to which in common with our coun trymen in general, you unite to do homage. Misunderstood by many when be lived, now that bis grand and patient life and death are oyer, the name of Grant is one of the jewels of his country. It will not grow dim in time, btone and brass are not needed to save it from obli vion, but lasting memorials will testify to those who come after us that we were not blind or indiffer ent to the glories of that martyrdom we saw. For our own sakes we should leave such memorials. The Grand Army of the Republic may lead in such a work. Soldiers may well go first to raise a monument to a soldier oi the army in which they fought and followed him to victory on so many crimson fields. Little as my presence could do, your invi tation would be enough to insure it were I free from positive obligations forbidding it Unfortunately, I am so tied fast by engagements previ ously made that to be in Utica on the 1 1th would be a violation ot good faith. Regretting this, and renewing mv thanks for the honor you have done me, I am your friend and neighbor. Roscoe Conkling. To Commander M. M. Jones and other Commanders of Posts, and to William H. Wataon, M. D., and other citizens of Utica, New York. flow to Keep Farm Herd Book. There are numerous svstems of keeping farm herd-books. Every animal may have a number given consecutively, as purchased or drop ped. I his is a simple, good way. Each one has a full page, or two pages, devoted to him or to her, with record of number, birth, color and markings, sire and dam, and former owners, with space for times of ser vice, dates of births ot offspring, with names and numbers of the same. As few cows have more than ten calves, in small herds the cows may receive decimal numbers: 1., 10., 20, 30., etc. Then when they have calves, these receive the following numbers in each decade. Tne first calf of No 1 will be 2. The third calf ot No 20 will be 23. The filth calf of 10 will be 15, and so on. Now if the stock bulls receive a letter in place of the regular number, this letter may be used with the number. and the calf's dam and sire mav he indicated by the mark. Thus, B 34 upon a tag, would indicate th.it the bull " B " was the sire, and that the cow M was the dam, and mat this was her fourth calf. There are oth er systems, but few, if any, simpler or more useful than this; but it is only applicable to herds of less than ten" Another system, based upon the same idea, gives letters to the cows of the breeding herd, and number preceding the letters to the stock bulls, while the numbers following the letters identify the particular calves. Thus 2 D 4 might indicate the same animal which by the pre viously described system we num bered B 34, and 1 C 3 th same as A 23. American Agriculturist. Keeping the Cowa Clean. Great care should be taken in bed ding in winter time, and in cleaning the stable. Unless extra pains are taken foul-smelling stables will be the result; consequently the milk will be more or less affected. 1 am well satisfied that filthy stables and filthy habits of milking are the chief causes of so much poor butter being made In winter and spring. I am well aware that butter made in win ter lacks flavor and color, but with due care it can be made sweet and clean. Very much depends upon the f tod the cows eat ; in order to have color, corn meal with beans and ground oats fed liberally, and a little oil meal added, is about as near perfect rations as can be given in winter, with plenty of good bright timothy hay and a mixture of clo ver. It is a very common sight to see in thif part of the country cows in winter time with their hips load down with manure, their bags ditto, also their back covered with hay seed and dut-t. The brush and card are never seen in the ciw stables ; to them the cows are total strangers. Now, this is all wrong. As a rule the cows are well fed : some have bank barns, but there is a want of care in grooming and handling. It pays to card and brush the cows daily. They look better and are bet te, and certainly the milking can be done more cleanly. A hundred couples of deaf mutes danced to the music of the Four teenth Regiment Band last week, and kept perfect time. GEnr.iAunEf.i Cunt RheuiettiSfR. Nevra't nuc nrTV i:n r.
