It is one of the iiio-i remarkable
properties of that wonderful pro

two or even three parts, however

ed into three part-, or tlirce thin
leaves. One-coHoists of ihe surface
on whicn llie engravings are print
ed; another was the side conUiniug
the hlter press, and a perfectly
blank piece on each side was the
paper that lay between. Many peo
ple who have not seen thi-* done
niigh think it iinpos-ible; yet it is
not only possible, hut extremely
easy, ns we shall show. Get a piece
of plate uiuss, ami place it on a sheet
of paper; then lei the latter be thor
oughly soaked. With care and a lit
tle dexterity the sheet can be spiii
bv the top surface being removed.
Bui (he best plan is io paste a piece
of cloth or strong paper to each
side of the sheet to be split. When
dry. violeml* anti without hesitation,
pull the i wo pieces asttmhr. when
part of ihe *hect will be found to
have adhered to one and part to the
other. Soften the pasje in water, an <

It begins to look like we are goiug
to have u right lively gubernatorial

An English lady once a>ked Richard
G am White, at a Loudon reception,
whether the people of Chicago were
still troubled by wolves. Mr. Maple-

very ignorant of this country, and
also of the manners and customs of

The cash of Mr. Stillson Hutchins,
o r the Washington Post, is an odd one.
For liMeen years he had been separat

patibility. And yet, we are told that
he was “a good father** and that she
was “a devoted mother.** After so
many years the parties agreed to a
legal divorce, and Mr. Hutchins
promptly married another. On the
day of his second marriage, according
to a correspondent, lie received a let
ter from this wife of his youth, and
mother of his children, full of kind
wishes for his future happiness and
prosperity-, and expressing the
h*»pe that his second marriage
would bring him the content
ment he had failed to find iu his first
marriage. The correspondent signifi
cantly adds: “The woman who could
do this must possess a strong, mag
nanimous nature, great enough to sac
rifice herself for her children, also for
the man who put her aside for another
woman. He could hardly forget his
wife in New Hampshire, sending
from her home among the bleak, gran

“How was it? Tell me about it,”
interrupted the reporter.

Under the heading, “Attempting to
Mislead the People,” the Atlanta
Constitution le*ds off with the de
claration that “there is a small clique
of men in this State that has been
working for two yeais or more lo put
one man in the gubernatorial chair,
and by peculiar tactics.** Now, what
the people want to know is, the
names of the men composing the
“small clique,** and the name of the
“one man” they are seeking to place
in toe gubernatorial chair by peculiar
tactics. The Constitution, contraty
to its claims of outspoken politics,
fails to particularize, when, if
tru \ the assertion would be Interest
ing just at this time. If there is a
man in the background whom this
clique propo<e to bring forward in the
race; if the executive chair is likely
to he pollutted by an occupant that
deals with the people in an under
hand way, the Constitution should
name him and let the people be on
their guard. Come out boldly, Mr.
mother. At last accounts the little
fellow wat doing well.

are both worn on the same linger,
third ot the lett band, the latter serv
ing as a guard to the former, when
both are in place. The bride does
not give the groom a wedding ring.
She gives him a sexl ring, a cat’s eye
or a broad gold ring with a gem
sunken iu it. No bride should wear
at a wending anything that hus been
worn before, tinieas it be some .trifle
to conform with the superstition that
a bride, for luck’s saae, should wear
something old and something jiew,
something borrowed and something
blue. When asked 10 dance, a lady
ueed only bow in accepting the iuvi-
tHlion. There is no necessity to re
turn thanks either before ot aft*»r the
dance; your partner will thank you.
It is “bad form*’ for a lady to thank
a gentleman who invites her to dance,
ride, drive or walk with him. It is
always presumed that he is the ob
liged party, and that she graciously
confers a favor. There is no law
of etiquette as to which side of a wo
rn n a man walks iu the street. He
allows circumstances to determine
on which side will be the most
agreeable and safe for her. Nor does
he keep changing at the street cor
ners. A man raises h*s hat to the
woman to w .om his friend bows.
That is the acknowledged etiquette
of the polite world everywhere. A
woman’s one bow, if gracious, will
do for several acquaintances whom
she may meet at once. Smile and
glance at all as you do so.
THE WINDS OP MARCH
have already begun to blow through
the streets of the metropolis, but not
to.the displeasure of the fashionable
woman. On the contrary, she likes
them. The reason may be b iefly
st ated. VV e are iu the season of Lent,
when there are scarcely any indoor
gatherings of either great size or
pretentious toilets. Consequently
streets are at present the places Tor
showing off one’s good clothes. Now,
sunshine and balminess are all very-
well, but every clever woman knows
that a dead calm is the worst of at
ilt*'Spheric conditions for her purpose*
A mariner desires a stiff breeze to
distend the sales of his yicht, careen
her over to a picturesque angle, and
altogether make of hei an admirable
picture. It i» exactly the same way
with a carefully dressed woman. She
needs a disturbing wind to animate
her draperies, rumble her hair, put
jolor into her cheeks, make her eyes

Selma Times.
Uev. J. S. Pcvv, a Methodist di
vine in charge of the Brown Station
circoit, was to have filled his regU'
lar appointment jit Ihe above-named
p'ace on la.-t Sabbath. At the usual
hour he enrered I lie pulpit, kneeling,
as is .customary with ministers, to
offer a short prayer, but remained in
that position fully fifteen minntes,
when fap arose and opened the ser
vices by reading a b} ran, which was
sung by the congregation. He then
offered a short prayer and immedi
ately read the second hymn, when he
closed the hymn book, opened the
bible and, placing both hands on the
same as it resting, remained in this
position fully half an hour, during
which time the congregation sang
three more hj’tmis. He was asked
by a member to close the service, to
whom he paid no attention, but re-
tnained motionless and speechless.
The congregation'in the meantime
dismissed itself, a few gentlemen re-
ntaining better to acquaint them
selves with the strange actions of
the pastor. Not replying lo any in-
terrogations, he was finally taken
hold of to be seated, when he rather
abruptly pulled away and seated
himself.
A Georgia Crank.
Washington Special.
An applicant for the position of
Postnaster-General appeared in East
Washington at an early hour ibis
morning in the shape of a colored
crank Irom Georgia by the name of
Henry Wade. Ho wore a Turkish
smoking cap upon his head and car-
ried an immense pile of dirty-color
ed papers. At 4^0 o'clock this
morning special oflScer Henry found
the crank standing on the porch of
the Congressional Hotel making a
speech to an imaginary audience.
Wade declared he had been sent for
by some invincible power to come
on and fill the responsible position
now held by Mr. Howe, because
there was so much trouble between
that gentleman and his subordinates,
“i wilt,” he said, “add one inch all

Louisville Courier-Journal-. The
wife of a Western Congressman was
one day siting by Mr. Stephens' bed
side, when he was so very ill in the
winter of 1877, and spoke quite
freely to her of his mother and his
early lire. “Why did yon never mar
ry ?■• she asked. “That’s my secret,’’
he replied evasively. “But we would
all like to know it,’ ’was her response.
“Well,” said lie grimly and reluct
antly, “I never saw but one woman
I wanted to marry, but site- did not
want to marry me. That’s a good
reason i-n’t? “I hope she lived to
regret iter mistake,” remarked the
kinu heart. “Y-e s,” responded Mr.
Stephens, slowly, “I think she did,
ana so did I.’’
Talmadge’a Prayer at the Funeral
of Governor Stephens.
“Let us pray: From the everlast
ing to the everlasting thou art God.
The years of our life come and go,
and whiten the hair and slacken the
steps, and push us tottering and de-
cripit into to grave. Bnt thy years
have no end. We bow before Thee
this afternoon, in a time of national
calamity, to ask Thy comforting
grace. We thank Thee for the life
of this good man, for the honesty of
his purpose, for the geniality of his
manner, for the magnificence of his
great soul. We thank Thee for all
that lie did for his nadve State: that
which he did for the whole country;
for the work that he wrought out in
behalf of all Christendom, his liio a
eulogy of all that was good and a
protest against all that was wrong.
Bat, O, Lord, this afternoon we want
thy comfort. We want it to come
first of all npon his bereaved kindred;
may it be with them through good
and bail, and may they rest when
this life is ended where God shall
wipe away all tears from their eyes,
and they will see what Thon meant
by this bereavement.
O, God, put under them the arm
of Thy strength and sympathy, and
hold them up, and say to them as
they pa-s through the waters, “I will
be with thee, they shall not overflow
with tbee.’’ God, grant thy blessings
upon this city, tills State and oar
whole country. May we follow this
good man as far as he followed that
which was right, and may we conse
crate this to Thy service, and learn
the solemn Ieson this afternoon; and
may we all look forward to that time
when tho trials and straggles of life
are ended and we shall euter among
the one hundred and forty and fonr
thousand that shall ascribe praises
to Thy name. <}o with us to the
grave for we go to weep there. Guide
ns by Thy counsel while we are on
earth and in darkness be Thou our
light; sick, be Thou our physician;
dying, be Thou uur life; and dead,
be Thou onr resurrection. And
glory and praise and salvation and
song shall be unto Him that sitteth

How Graelay Accurately Located
Cleveland Leader.
Shortly after the passage of the
Fourteenth Amendment, a move
ment in which Mr. Greeley had taken
considerable interest,-a large darkey
who had called several times at the
Tribune office came into Mr. Gree
ley’s private room, while he was
busily engaged in writing. Now, if
there was any one thing . that was
well understood around the Tribune
office it was that^Mr. Greeley was
not to be interrupted in the midst of
his thought. When ho was seen to
be busy, with his face close down
to liis paper, and his pen rhnning
rapidly from left to right across his
sheet, no one around the office had
the hardihood to speak to him. But
this colored gentleman marched
straight up lo bis elbow, and with a
large gold-headed cane nnder his
arm, aud a fine broadcloth coat but
toned close around his breast, he
broke right in:
“I say, Mr. Greeley, I thought 1
would call and talk with yon, sah,
aoout advising the cniiud people to
study the sciences.”
Mr. Greeley’s face assumed uncar
er prdximity than ever to the paper
be was writing on, and his hand kept
going across it from left to right
with greater rapidity than before.
The cheeky freedman was not to be
put out of time in this way. He
therefore spoke again, and in a
slightly louder tone of voice than
before: '
“I thought I would ask yon,” he
continued, “to write an editorial
advising the cullud people to study
the sciences.”
Still the great editor wrote on. On
the third repititiou of the remark,
Mr. Greeley laid down bis pen, and
looking np hastily, exclaimed:
“Go away! Go to h—1! Go over
into New Jersey, and go to raising
potatoes!”
The colored man didn’t trouble
him any more.

A Hint to New Truck Farmers.
“Chatham” in Savannah News.
While I rejoice to see the farmers
giving more attention to small farms
and diversified crops, especially
“truck** farming, I would caution
them about being too sanguine at
the start, as a sore disappointment
on the very threshold of an enter
prise is sometimes fatal to all future
success.
Almost any farmer can raise
watermelons and “truck” and peaches
and grapes, but not half who engage
these branches of farming and
fruit culture know how to ship, when
to ship and where to ship for a steady
market (I once wrote an entire letter
on this subject to the Mews, from
Florida, in iegard to orange 'grow
ing).
I remember this: The really suc
cessful orange, strawberry, watermel- 1
on, peach, grape or “truck” grower
is the man who thoroughly under
stands how to properly garher, pack,
ship and sell his products Now I
kindly and modestly hint to the
thousands who are suddenly rushitig
into this new industry, that they give
careful thought to this part of the
subject at pnee—delay will be dan
gerous.
