COLUMBUS: LARGBiT CITY CIRCULATION. Wednesday Morning, June 10, 18M. Emory College. We hare received from one of the Pro fessors of ,the institution the Catalogue of the Officers and Students of Emory Col lege, Oxford, Ga., for 185 C and 1857. The total number of students in College and in Preparatory School is 198—118 in College and 45 in Preparatory School. This College has a learned and able fac ulty, of which Rev. James R. Thomas, D. D., is President. Col. James M. Cham bers, of Wynnton, is President of the Board of Trustees, and Rev. Lovick Pierce, D. D., of our city, one of the Trustees. It is one of the best conducted colleges in the State, and we notice among the names of the Alumni some of the most talented and promising men of the day. The Railroad connection now being the all-engrossing topic of interest with our citizens, we yield a large portion of our available space to-day to communica tions upon the subject. We hope there is sufficient interest felt by our citizens to call together a large meeting to-night. Escaped. We understand Wiley A. Clarke, whose arrest we noticed yesterday, escaped from custody previous to settiug out for Bar bour. We hope for the good of all com muuities, he will be overtaken and brought to justice. The Growing Crop in Florida. A letter in the Savannah Republican, from Wilkinson county, Florida, dated June Ist, says: “Our crops are notori ously poor. Cotton stands very bad.— Corn all sizes. We can, however, boast of our wheat crop; I never saw better.— We have more cotton planted this year than last. I know of no cotton field re planted in corn, though some would have done better by doing it. Lice have made their appearance on my cotton pretty thick. OnthelOtbof June last year, I bail cotton blooms; I cannot finish chop ping out to a stand this year by that time. If we make an average crop we will be perfectly satisfied.” Another letter to the same paper, from Marion county, Florida, dated June Ist, says; “I find both cotton and corn rather backward, having been injured by l.te frosts. Most of the cotton bad to be en tirely replanted, planters, however, have a good staud, and unless tho crop is cut off by caterpillars, &c., will make a good average yield. On the 29th of May, 1 saw cotton blossoms in the field of Col. A. G. Summer, iu this county, who has one of the finest crops of cotton and corn in the county. As my friend, the Colo nel, resides principally in South Carolina, the credit is due to Mr. Odell, his inde fatigable overseer. Most of the corn I have seen is in silk and tassel, and plan ters generally, Will uiake provisions suffi cieut lor ihe wants of the year.” The Ta lahassee Sentinel learns tUa 1 G iv.

Editors: —l have but a few words to say in reply to “ Kobs,’’ in yes tertlay’B Sun, ns bo admits as true what 1 claim would be the result of a Kail Road connection here, viz : that a largo portion of the cotton West of us, which now finds a market iu Columbus, would pass di rectly through to Savitnuah. This admit ted, I see no further cause of controversy, for this is the point on which the whole question is hinged. As to the position assumed by “Kobs”—that although the cotton would go to Savannah, Coluinbus would still retain the trade—it is so much at variance with the usual course ot things, that it has only to be stated to be at once rejected. It is a maxim of commerce, that, all thtogß being equal, the trade of the coun try will to a great extent follow the pro duce to market, aud l do not yet be lev. this universally acknowledged principle will be reversed for onr especial accom modation. 1 cannot think “ Kobs” sin cere in resting his cause upon such unten able grouud. If he is, he has received little benefit from the experience of other towns, in reference to this question. A word as to the Eufaula connection, and I drop the subject “ Kobs,” in com moil with others who advocato a connec tion of the Rail Roads here, apparently have great confidence that such couneetion will defeat the contemplated road from Cuthbert to Eufaula. Since my former communication, I have been to some trou ble to enquire into the subject, aud team from reliable authority that tbe South- Western Rail Road proposed to Eufaula aud the people on the line of the proposed road, that if they would subscribe a cer tain amount of stock, aud pay one third of that amount in by a stipulated time, the road should be built. Tbe requireo sum was subscribed and 88J per cent, o 1 the same has been paid in. The building of the road, therefore, is a fixed fact. My informant also assured roe that not only was the building of the road placed beyond any contingency, but that so soon as the South-Western road reached Cutb bsrt, to which poiut they were now work iug, the remaiuiug portion would be pla ced under contract, and pushed to a speedy completion, if this information is oorreot—of which I have > a shadow of doubt—it settles the question as to the influence a connection here, will have upon oous'ructing a road there. It is useless to discuss that point. In regard to the ex tension of a branch road from Eufaula, to connect with the Mobile and Girard road, and thereby tap the trade of Columbus, that is a question fur them to decide, not us. If Eufaula, and the country through which tbe road would pass, think it would be to thoir interest, they will un doubtedly build the road, not otherwise. The action of Columbus, I apprehend, will have little bearing upon the course Eufaula may deem best to pursue in order to protect her own interests. CITY RIGHTS. Rail Road Connee; aong> The question of c° nr .,ecting the three Rail Roads center’ (jolumbus has been a topic of uiscusßion in our columns, more or K BB , for the last five weeks, as we can discover, having made any point, or submitted any proposition as a basis of settlement. In the adoption of plans and providing the means for their construction, in order to secure the harmony and co-operation of the property holders of the city—their consent to he taxed to aid in construction—it was stringently provided by solemn covenants between the Rail Roads and the city, that there should be no connection. That each road should have its independent depot, separate and apart from the other. This being provided by solemn compact, our citizens voted the permission of the city to subscribe stock to assist in build ing the roads. This was all done in good faith. What is now proposed to be done, and how to be done ? It is proposed to disregard the solemn compact by which the subscriptions were obtained, and connect the several roads at this point. We are in favor of the connection, and do not be lieve it will be attended with the disas trous consequences many of our good citizens—for whose opinions we have great respect —think it would. Respect ing their feelings and legal rights, we offer for their consideration a proposition we have not before heard mooted, to-wit: that the meeting to-night instruct the Council to take the assessment of real estate made the past, spring and divide the amount into votes, allowing to each holder of real estate in the city one vote for every thousand dollars worth he holds, and one vote for fractions of not less than five hundred dollars. And that, taking this as the basis, they order an election at which owners of real estate alone be allowed to vote. We further suggest, that as a condition to connec tion, the several roads to be benefited by the connection, be required, previous to the consummation of the change pro posed, to guarantee to the city as a con sideration for the privilege asked, the payment of an annual bonus, to be paid into the city treasury for the use of tho city, a sum not less in amount than SB,OOO each. In addition, that each road be required to pay for the right of way over the city common, necessary to make the connection, such price as the land would command in a transfer to private parties for settlement. These suggestions are made with the best motives, in the hope of settling a much vexed question, that seems to be widening instead of closing in the breach. While they must carry to the mind a con viction of their equity and justice to the interest of the tax payer who has pledged a heavy tax on his property to assist in building these avenues of commerce, it will, we believe, be acceded to by the sev eral companies, in a spirit of compro mise and harmony. There is no sense in wrangle. To convince men, their reason must be appealed to. You must make ihe change their own act; and not place in competition with the man who has his til at stake, he that lias nothing but in come from sales or his poll to be taxed. We believe that it’ our suggestions are carried out, the change will be consumma ted, and by a vote of at least two-thirds, if not three-fourths of the real estate owners of Columbus. That the means by which it will be accomplished will have so much weight of right on its side, the minority will yield to the result without a murmur, while a decision by a vote of the multitude, would rather increase than allay prejudice, aud the opponents of the measure would, as they could, throw many legal obstacles in the way of consummation, possibly # defeat connection for a long time to come. We are anxious to see the measure con summated for the following reasons:— First, beettuse we do not believe it will injure the trade or retard the prosperity of Columbus. Second, because we be lieve it will successfully combat and put down other aspirants for our trade al ready secured and in prospect, by the Mobile and Girard Rail Road. Owning no real estate iu the city, we do not claim rights at the ballot box on this question. Rut while we claim no rights there, we feel great solicitude that our citizens, at this critical juncture, commit no faux pas, which they may never regret but once—and that fqy all time to come. We are engaged in an en terprise, the prospects of which nre entire ly dependent on the growth and prosperi ty of the city, and as all men are pre sumed to be more or less influenced by self interest, wc trust those who feel that their rights are in greater jeopardy than ours, will attribute our error, if it be error, to the head rather than to the heart. P. B.—Since the above was in type, we have conversed with a member of the Council, who is a real estate holder, and one of the seven who voted against the proposition to submit the question at this time to the people, who expressed his willingness, and assured us of the will ingness of the other six, to go into an election on the basis laid down by us above, and in good faith to abide by the result. This is generous and fair, but nothing less than should bo expected of a magnanimous people—of men who have hearts iu the right place. Then let us go to work, make our deci sion, submit the result to the roads in terested, and if they meet us with the proper guarantees for our security agaiust competing interests, ratify; otherwise, let the matter stand as though no vote had been taken. Tne Acquisition of Cuba. Ex Secretary Jefferson Davis recently arrived at Vicksburg, Miss., and had a grand reception and made a speech. It was all about Cuba and the efforts made by the Pi.-rce administration to get pos session of that Island. According to Sen nator Davis, Mr. Buchanan is even more deep'y pledged to acquire Cuba the Mr. Pierce was. For the Daily .-un. Rail Road Connection. A petition signed by a large number of the citizens of Columbus, has induced the call for a meeting to be held on Wednes day evening, tbe 10th instant, to consider the policy of connecting the Rail Road* at this place. W'hat tbe result of that par ticular meeting will be, is uncertain, but then or thereafter the connection will be sanctioned. It would be rather an amusing scene, if the meeting which voted the final sub scription to the Mobile and Girard Rail Road, could be presented as a tableau vivant, to be immediately succeeded by the meeting of Wednesday night. In scene first, all the citizens are alarm ed at the prospect of connection—sub scription nearly lost at the possibility of such an event —secured finally by the in troduction of Judge Iverson’s resolutions giving tbe city the control of the matter, the city agreeing to discharge all the cost of crossing the river, aud receive stock of the company therefor; upon which basis tbe existing contract is made. Scene second. Same persons and place, about four years after. Plan proposed to save tbe city by connection, thereby in creasing the trade of Columbus, and pre venting tbe extension of the South-western Rail Road to Eufaula aud Fort Gaines, and from either place through the lower tier of counties in Alabama. All of which is clearly demonstrated. Now, if circumstauces have occurred in four years to change entirely the policy of our citizens iu this matter, it would be very unwise, as well as very unmanly, not to accommodate their views to the new developments which have been made. Trade, like war, requires strategy and tactic#, and obstinate pertinacity of opin ion, opposed to liberal, enlightened ac tion, is like the effete system of scientific war, opposed to the rapid combinations of Napoleon. Each citizen, then, should at tend the meeting, disposed to discuss the matter ‘‘in a spirit of good feeling, fair ness, and candor.” No man has the right, in this country, to thrust his opinions upon another. But whether it be right or privilege, we have often seen it done, even in Temperance Hall. This question, we hope, will be decided in a different spirit. We entertain different views from tbe extremists of either side. These views we will state, not elaborating or attempting to sustain by lengthy argument; in which we will follow the example of other cor respondents, all of whom consider nn as sertion equal to a demonstration. Connection, just now, is only a practi cal question for the Opelika Branch aud Muscogee Rail Road, for the Mobile and Girard has no money to expend; and if she had, it would be better for tbe road and for Columbus that the $20,000 neces sary to reach the North common, were expended bey< nd Guerry’s. Eufaula knows her own interest, and is bitterly opposed to Columbus. She re jected all overtures from the Girard Road, before she bad raised and paid over her subscription to the South-western Rail Road. We think with the intelligent citizens of Eufaula, that their best connection is by tuthbert, because Cuthbert is on an air line to Albany and Brunswick. From Eufaula to Brunswick, connecting near Sharpe’s, on the main trunk, is two bun dred and forty-five miles, or one hundred miles nearer than tbe upper route. Re collect, too, that tbe chauces for the con struction of the lower route are decidedly favorable, and it is only a question ot time. Even now the difficulty of increasing the subscription to the Girard Road in the neighborhood of Louisville and Clay ton and the South east of Pike, is the I'eeling which lias grown up there for a Eufaula connection. We are willing to admit, if the reverse of all this were true, that it would be better for Columbus ; hut it is not true, and arguing from false premises must produce false results We would like to see “ Kobs,” or “ Mer chant,” or the Times, show us the authority by which they bind Savannah or Eufaula to make good the consideration for our grant ing a connection. Don’t you think, if your apprehensions are well founded, and the city should grant a connection here, with out securing the abandonment of the Eufaula and Fort Gaines branches, that you would, gentlemen, checkmate Colum bus ? If your premises were correct, then this must be the conclusion. But we do not think the case as despe rate as the Connection party argue. Ist. Three years from next July the locomotive will not have reached Eufaula. 2d. Portage at Columbus at fifty cents per ton, is less expensive than eighty-four miles extra carriage by Atlanta. So the Superintendents say in their published rates. Bd. The Mobile and Girard road must do the carrying business of a large part of Barbour, Pike, Macon, Russell, and of the counties beyond, as the road extends Westward, for years yet, without compe tition. 4th. Paper Rail Roads are easily built. We have not got to Uuion Springs yet, though we have the snme rich country “ Kobs” thinks would build a Rail Road in five years from Eufaula to Montgomery, or the branch from Seals’ Station to Clay ton. With a corporate subscription of SBOO,OOO and a large private subscription f oin Columbus, we nre yet SIOO,OOO short of Union Springs. Our opinion is that the Muscogee, aud Montgomery and West Point Rail Roads, nre more interested in connection than any other parties, as it would save them the tolls for cartage here. MORTETE. Struck by Lightning. We learn that on the 18th ult. the Fac tory of T. R. Tate, Esq., on the Catawba River, was struck by lightning and nar rowly escaped being destroyed, the fluid setting the cotton lint attached to the machinery on fire in two places. There is a singular circumstance attending this which we hope someone better acquaint ed with the freaks of lighming than we are, will explain. On the top of the fac tory is a cupola with a rod of iron, a ball and weathercock. The rod runs down the center and is secured in a post which rested on a beam a few feet above the roof. The lightning struck the rod, run down it through the post and beam, and there all trace of the fluid was lost. The roof is covered with tin. The question is, how did the fluid descend into the rooms below, and set the cotton on fire, when there was no conductor lending down from the roof? In the fifth story, where the cotton was ignited, the win dows were all up—in the other story where fire was communicated, there was only a pane of glass broken out. The fire in the second story was noticed to be directly opposite to the broken glass and no other place. Can any one throw light on the probable cause of this freak of the fluid; and is tin a conductor ? And bow did it enter the building? —Charlotte IK. C) Whig, 2 dinst. Written fur the Daily Sun. TWICE WEDDED AND WIDOWED. BY CONBUELO. CHAPTER 11. Her heart waa chilled And dead to all ita softest sympathies; It cherished but one feeling, hopeless love Love stronger by endurance, ever growing With the decay of life and nil its powers. Ptrcival. Two years before the opening of my story, 1 was the gayest girl among my set, in tbe city of Columbus, Ga. I mov ed among my companions the most joy ous one in their midst, for life had ever been to me one bright stream of sunshine, without a single cloud to mar the splen dor of its beams, but now, when 1 look back upon those days, I wonder at the unbounded popularity which was then mine, (for I was not only the undisputed belle of the city, but was a favorite with both my own sex and the opposite,) pos sessing as I did such an ungovernable disposition. I had grown up to woman hood with a will like the Medes and Per sians—it knew no law and yielded to none that did not further its own wishes. Being my father’s only child 1 was much petted, and my imperious temper was never restrained by a parent’s authority. Had I been religiously brought up, the evil in me might have been subdued, but alas, I regarded religion as being merely a form, established by the credulous and weak minded. In the gay circles of fashion and folly, in which I moved, I often met a young man named Albert Coleman. He was fair haired, small in stature, but perfect in form and feature, brilliant in mind, and fascinating in manners. In my blind and impartial judgment he was superior to all others. He was one of those spe cies of the male-gender who seem to read women’s hearts by instinct rather than study, at the same time stealing their way into its recesses, and, ere the owner is aware of the theft, the precious article is irrevocably another’s. Thus it came about that Albert had purloined my heart unknown to me, but after the know ledge of which my love was freely given. The thought that my father would oppose my unioq with Albert never once obtrud ed itself on my mind, so accustomed was I to consult my own wishes in everything, that it seemed almost impossible that another, even though it was my own fath er, would dare to offer opposition in such a matter, when I had already decided for myself, therefore my surprise and indig nation was blindness when Albert was rejected as a suitor for my hand. For the first time in his life my father was firm in opposing my wishes. I ex hausted myself in a fury of impotent pas sion, but it was like the billows of the roaring oceatt battling against the frown ing Gibralter; nothing could bend his stubborn resolution, though, in my un governable anger, 1 dared to tell him that his nor no power on earth or in heaven should prevent me from becoming the wife of Albert Coleman. It was not till I braved him thus that I learned the source from whence I had inherited my own wild temper ; but if he was tenaciou of hisown opinion, I was equally as stub born, and so matters rested for awhile, until I again had an interview with A1 bert —he proposed an elopement. Ide murred at first, but at last consented, for t here was a spice of romance in my com position, and what is it that smacks more of the romantic to a young lady than an elopement, when blinded by the blandish ments of the rosy god Cupid. Our plans were soon made, but business of an ur gent nature called Albert awny from the city for several weeks, and when he re turned I was to be ready to fly with him to the ends of the earth, if il need be, to the barren desert, for even that would be a paradise if Albert was there. As soon as he learned that Albert was gone, my father’sbrow relaxedits frowns, and soon he became, once more, the kind indulgent parent that he had ever been, and 1 was once more the petted child— but the return of his fond kindness did not in the least shake my resolution to leave hts love and protection for that of Albert’s. One morning, about two days after Al bert left Columbus, my father informed aunt Sarah and I, as he was leaving the breakfast t able, that he would bring com pany home with him to dinner. “And who may it be,” asked my aunt. “The Hon. William Horton, nty old College chum, whom I have not seen, till yesterday, for years,” replied my father. “Indeed,” said aunt Sarah, “well, since we are to have such a distinguished individual as William Horton to dine with us, I must make unusual preparations.” The hour came, and I was introduced by my father to his honored guest. The Hon. William Horton was a noble looking specimen of manhood ; his face was hand some, and bore the unmistakeable im press of intellect, and although he was the same age of my father, yet he looked younger by several years. He had mar ried while a mere youth, but was now a childless widower. To please my father—which had be come a part of my policy since I had made up my ntind to elope with Albert— I strove to please his friend, and the re sult was, I succeeded but too well, for, after that first visit he became a daily visitor, and my escort to places on all oc casions. At last, I could no longer re main blind as to his intentions, and I de termined to nip his hopes in the bud at once, for, although a belle, yet I was by no means that despicable thing “a co quette.” One day Horton called and I refused to see him, but regarding this net of impo liteness as one of the whims of an over indulged and spoiled child, he came again. Not expecting him at that hour, I was seated alone in the parlor, when he entered unannounced. Politeness forced me to remain and listen to his tale of love, and his manly pleadings for mine in return. My nature was too proud and candid to play the coquette with any one, much less with one who stood so high in the world’s favor, and one, too, whom I knew to be truth itself. I felt that it would be meanness to deceive him, there fore I told him of my engagement to Al bert, of my father’s objections to my mar riage, and of my hopes that he would, at least after awhile, become reconciled to it, and while I thanked him for the honor he had done me by the preference, I told him that it was impossible for me ever to love any one save Albert. He smiled when I had concluded, and remarked, half regretfully and half playfully, “I find you have very romantic ideas regard ing love matters. Miss Rawls.” The words and air with which they were spoken provoked me, and abruptly . excusing myself, I left the room. That evening, just as the servants were bringing in lights, my father sent for me in the library. He was seated by the ta ble, with piles of deeds and parchments ,heaped up before him, but the moment I entered he laid down his pen, and made me take a seat close to him. “Lina,” he commenced abruptly, “I have sent for you to tell you that which you will soon learn from others; Lina, your father is a ruined man !” “How, and why,” I gasped, and trem bling in every joint I sank upon the chair, from which I had arisen when he first spoke my name so strangely. ‘■'■How, Lina ; would you not call it ruin with a legion of creditors at your heels, all clamoring at once for money, and you have it not to give them? Then what? Why, I must give them that which is equi valent to money, real estate, and begin the world anew on nothing, in my old age ;’ but you, Lina, you can prevent all this, if you will.” “Me, father, and how ?” I cried eager ly- “ You rejected William Horton this morning, accept him this evening, and before noon to-morrow you must become his wife.” “Never, father, never !” I exclaimed, “I had rather drink poison than marry one man while loving another, as I do.— Ask anything else of me, and I will cheer fully obey you. I can work or do any thing but marry Mr. Horton.” I spoke with a firm voice, though I felt my cheeks blanching all the while. “Very well,” said my father, “you had rather see me steeped in poverty and dis grace, yourself also, than lift a finger to turn the impending fate. Very well, I can endure penury, want, and disgrace, since my only child coldly wills it so, but listen, Lina, this Albert Coleman, whom you are making such an idol of, is a heartless and unprincipled villian. I have marked him well. You think he loves you, but, my daughter, Albert Cole man is incapable of loving a woman as she should be loved, or anything else but his own precious self. He regards you as being the daughter of a wealthy man, and as such he would wed you. Oh, my child, I shudder for the life you would lead with such a man, when he found out his mistake. There are at least a half dozen worthy girls in this place, whose love he has sought and won with words of seeming truth, and then, with a heartless indifference, unworthy the name of man, he left them to chew the unplea sant knowledge that their heart’s purest affections had been won merely to grati fy the vanity of a heartless, soulless vil lain. Be warned, Lina, and accept your father’s choice. William Horton is a gentleman and an honorable man. He is wealthy, talented, and stands preeminent in the estimation ot the public. Can you waver in your choice between two indi viduals of such a marked contrast.” I did not believe one word that had been said against Albert; he only wishes to prejudice me against him, I thought, but he could not, and raising my head proudly, I said: “Father, ’tis useless to speak so dis paragingly of Albert to me ; I know him better than you think I do, and, notwith standing all you have just said, I believe him to be worthy of my love, and lie only shall have it.” “Be it so,” said my father, in a calm, cold voice, but his brow grew black as night, “be it so, Lina,” and walking across the room to a small cabinet, he took from thence a pair of silver mounted pistols. I shuddered when I saw the deadly weapons in his hands, but my ter ror was almost too great to bear when he came back to where I was seated, and held the murdersus things close to me, while he said, “Lina, if to-morrow, by twelve o’clock, does not see you the wife of William Hor ton, then shall these instruments of death put an end to your unhappy father’s ex istence. I swear it. Now make your choice—marry Horton and become a loved and honored wife, and save yourself and father from a life of poverty and obscuri ty, or choose Albert, and have my blood upon your hands.” I was desperate between fear and pas sion. It was cruel, I thought, in my fath er, to put my strength of endurance to such a terrible test, but I knew that there was no alternative : I must marry Hor ton, else see my father fulfill his terrible threat. My very desperation made me calm, and steadied my voice when I spoke. Father, I said, 1 will marry Mr. Horton to-night if you say so ; I am indifferent now to time or fate. My husband, that is to be, is now in the parlor—go and make all ready, and ere this hour is past let me seal my doom, since fate and man have combined against me. It was done. Two hours later I was congratulated by the family and a few friends that were called in to witness the ceremony, as the Hon. Mrs. Horton. The next morning I received a hurried ly written note from Albert, filled with sentences of burning love and fond affec tion. He was then on his way back to Columbus, in high spirits, and bade me, in the note, to be ready to fly with him as soon as he returned—and I, oh heaven, was the wife of another. From that hour I dated the terrible hate which I bore my husband, and which ended only when he was wrapped in the sleep of death. If my temper had been violent and ca pricious before my marriage, I was at least frank and open in it, but afterwards I grew artful, and, although I gave it un governable sway, yet I was careful that only he who had made me his unwilling bride should feel its full force. By voluntarily confining myself at home, and absenting myself from parties and all places of amusement, I artfully contrived to make the public believe that I was the to be pitied wife of an old and jealous husband. This was a part of my mode of vengeance—though sweet to me, yet it was spiced at last with many a bitter drop. Concluded To-morrow. The Washington Star of Tuesday un derstands that it is the intention of Charles B. Culvert, late proprietor of the National Hotel, to sue the corporation of Washington City for $75,000 damages, growing out of the closing of that house. He will be likely to recover heavy dam ages—over the left. If he had kept the culverts about his establishment clean, it would not have been closed. Were such of his poisoned guests as are living to set about sueing him, damages would likely be recovered from the right quarter. A Great Triumph in Job Printing. The other day, says the Baton Rouge (La.) Gazette, we witnessed in operation “Budinsky's new method of printing in colors,” and do not hesitate to pronounce the triumph in this branch of the art ‘ ppographical long sought after. By a very simple process, any number of col ors may be rolled on a form without mix ing; or they can be blended together at the option of the workman. Heretofore, in printing in colors, the sheet has had to go through the press for each color. With Budinsky’s machine an number of colors may be rolled on at the same time, which, in a fast age. is nothing less than money. Mr. Budinsky has a caveat for his invention, and will soon have a patent.
