The receiving clerks behind the desks at the telegraph office are cool, placid fellows. They take your message of life or death with perfect indifference, mechanically count the words, and look ft fait bored as they reply: "It will be 65 cents, please." P 4 1 had my eye on a certain chap for several weeks before I humbled his pride. He insulted me by softly whis­ pering to himself as he counted the . words in the following message: * Grandmother died last night very suddenly. How many of you can at­ tend the funeral?" When I handed in that message I ex­ pected him to exhibit a little emotion. While he could not have been, person­ ally acquainted with my grandmother, he must have suspected that she was a nice old lady, and that her sudden death had greatly overcome me,. Why didn't he look up with a bit « sym­ pathy in his eye and say; "Too bad! I know just'bow you 4eel,« and I'm sorry for you/' But no. He whistled and conftted, made a scratch or two with his pen, and reg&fced: % ' .* Jftiar^e words over--70 cents." ^ * And as* he made change he told OVA Of the boys behind the counter that he'd b® --•--if lie wasn't going to the dog­ fight that night. Then he picked up lay dead ' $hmdmother's dispatch and banged it on a hook, shoved me ©ver some change, and turned away to resume the perusal of a sporting paper. The next week I went in with a dis­ patch announcing that my grand­ mother's will had been opened and that in for $25,000. That man must have seen by my face that I was highly elated. Hang Mm, he never had the fifth of that sum, and his salary had just been cut down $10 per month, but when he had xead the despatch ho cfelmly announced ; ? "Forty eent&r <ind ypu forgot to date it." ?; ,7And then he began talking to one of hia fellow clerks about a slugging match, and how he won $3 by betting •a the rifrhfc man. I don't say he ought f^fca^e gwifng his hands and cheered over my good fortune, but why couldn't he have extended his hand and skid: "Eh, old boy? In luck, ain't you? Well, I'm glad of it. Send around the cigars and we'll smoke to vour good health." . y-j* Y t "'j ? •: $ I made up my inind when t went out that I would upset that man's equanim­ ity or lose a leg, I'd ttimblfe liim off that pedestal of placidity if it cost $1,000. I'd upset, unbalance, and un- h|^ge him q^die trying. I gave him two iyeeks £6 repent. It isn't right to rnsh a telegraph man out of the world on a day's notice. I went back one evening, and I felt a bit sorry for him as he glanced up and then let his eyes return to liie Police Gazette. I .knew 1 thfit his wife and child wefce in Qhio a Visit, and I stepped to the ;ddsk i wrote: J. H.

He received the dispatch, whistled softly as was his wont, clat­ tered the point of his pen along the Words as he counted, and then he drawled out,: "A dollar arid twenty cents, and whifere sliall l gebd the answer ?'* * "Did you read that dispatch?" asked, after looking at him for half i minute.

Deliver Us from EvQ» The seventh petition in Mif "jfit&fisr" which a hundred years ago was uttered at least in New England by every child thdtw&eold enough to prattle, -as the last office of the evening, was : "Deliver us from evil." These words are com­ prehensive, full of weight for the ripened reason, and clear to reason in its dawning, Our new revisers have thrown aside this established trans­ lation, and, for the sublime words to which the whole English-speaking Christian \yorld is accustomed, have suhK^HL.

Next comes the complete subordi­ nation of the temporal life to the life of the soul. The principle of absolute •%a#dity, i« ref»e*M in tfce words that rejate to the mutual relation of man with-man, Ms transgressions, and how thef may bo'repsited. Then comes the jofejfihg for holiness; and the first En­ treaty is: "Lead us not into temptation the desire of absolute purity is heard in the second: "Deliver us from evil." The supplicant must searoh the re­ cesses of his own soul and seek there for the root of evil; and if he finds it there, he must be restless and Unhappy until he can tear it out, root and branch, and gain peace with purity and justice. But, through our revisers, if their inno­ vation is to be accepted, their prayer becomes the prayer of pride, of a man who attributes no weakness to himself; and, instead of looking into himself for seed of evil which he may commit, pre­ sents his own inward nature as in itself perfect, and needing no protection but from an outside evil one. In this way the prayer of humility becomes the voice of self-deception and pride; It remains only to ask how has the world, lor nearly nineteen centuries, * understood the., petition t ,The Greek of the two gospels speaks for itself. The Vulgate, which is the first great translation of the New Testament made for the Latin world, rightly reads: "Libera nos a malo, deliver us from eviL," and this version is still read in all the Latin world which adheres to Rome. The learned and wise translators of the days of King James rendered |he words correctly: "Deliver us froia eyil," and Chey are followed by all English-speak­ ing churches of every denomination.; The rendering in the Douay Bible is; the same; and so it is in the Bible at; translated by Luther.

That the education of the eye may be brought to a high state of perfection is shown in numer­ ous ways. There are many delicate processes of manufacture which depend for their practical success upon the nice visual perception of the skilled artisan, who almost unconsciously detects variations of temperature, color, density, etc., of his materials which are inappreciable to the ordinary eye. The hunter, the mariner, the arfet. the scientist, each needs to ^edpeate the eye to quick action in hii Special field of research before jie ctn hope to become expert in it. ^ The following story from the Penn Monthly, which is quite apropos, is re­ lated of Agassi2, and it is sufficiently characteristic of this remarkably ac­ curate observer to have the merit, of probability. We are told that imce upon a time the Professor had occasion to select, an assistant from one of his classes. There were a number of can-; didates for the post of honor, and feu. ing himself in a quandary as to wine one he should choose, the happy thought occurred to him of subjecting three of-the more promising students in turn to the simple test of describing the view from his laboratory window, which overlooked the side yard of "the college.

The fish known to naturalists* by ihe lotig name of Ophiocephalus, one species of which is found in the-ft«a of Galilee, is a singular creature. At the approach of the breeding season it seeks a favorable place to build--gen­ erally in shallow water. .There perhaps an old sunken root is .found, or a pro­ jecting ledge of foek.' To that spot bits of grass, leaves, growing sea-weed, and refuse of all kinds are brought by the parents, who now proceed to weave this building material into an oval shape. The threads of grass are wound in and out, entangled with one another in various |ray^ awl the*- inter** stices filled with mud. _ During tho construction one or more ofificee art left leading into the nest or entirely, through it;" the grasses ^re'" wound7 around the old root, and finally a com­ pact oval nest is seen suspended and swinging in tlie lide--f^veritftble cradle for the baby 4uae&. - » The eggs are deposited in the in­ terior, and attach themselves to the grass and the sides of the nest.

They are, however, "hatched* and guarded wjflhe parents, who drive them back when they wander too far from home.

The office of the Nichi-Niclii Shin- bun, a Japanese newspaper, is thus de­ scribed: The feature of the Sldnbun was its type case--for there was only one of body type. And such a type case! Ghost of Benjamin • Franklin, what a case! Suppose we measure it. it is divided for .utility into two sec­ tions sloping toward an alley five feet wid§. Each section is four feet wide by thirty feet long--four bv sixtv feet. There's a news case for you! This is divided into small compartments or boxes, in which the type is laid in reg­ ular piles, several piles in a box, with faces toward the compositors, mostly boys, big and little. Each holds a wooden "stick" with brass ruLp. The types are alPof a size; the "stick" is not set to the measure of the column, which is twenty ems pica, but to about half the measure--it being the business of the other workmen to impose the lines in columns, take proof, and make up forms. Now, then, the type-setting. Armed with slicks and rule and copy, the dozen compositors read the last in an earnest, sing-song way, each rushing to some box, far or near, for the needed letter--then back ten or twelve feet to the second one--all are on the lively move--rushing and skipping to and fro, right and left, up and down, chase, balance to partners, swing the corners, up and back, singing the copy, catching one letter here, another there, pranc­ ing and dodging, humming, and skip­ ping--a promenade, cotilion, Virginia reel, racquet, and all-hands-arouad upon the floorat the sajne time and the same dancers in each--a perfect maze of noise and confusion--yet out of con­ fusion bringing printed order! It was a sight to be seen. "How many differ­ ent characters are there in this case, anyhow?" we asked ouj guide, "No­ body know*, sir! ndbod/ knows--many .thousands." Later we repeated the same question to a more intelligent person, who said: "At least 50,000." That will tcODunt for the remarkable siee of the eases, and the racing to and fro of the compositors.

Un­ less the sixty-five Employes go on a strike the 3,000 persons who eat there every day will continue to sit and sup under the mechanical fans by day and the eleetrio lights at night fox years to come. But it would not sur­ prise the cooks, the carvers, nor the waiters in fine linen if Tommy, the Wate* boy, should tell the boss to-mor­ row that the Ice Water Pourers and Tumbler Washers' Union No. Hit! had ordered a strike. Tommy has lately formed a union. A man from Ohio, who said he was an inventor, got the ear of the proprietor two years ago, and said: "How many dishes do you wash a day?" "Over 1,500," replied the bosi. "How many people do you pay for washing them? "We have six dish-washers on the pay-roll." "I can make a machine that will wash and dry 8, COO pieces in an hour, with­ out breaking or chipping a dish. I will save you $1,000 per year in wages alone, and will wash your dishes clean and keep them free from finger marks and lint. The inventor described his machine. It was a long trough, divided into three compartments. One end was an L and the other end, the front, was a set of valves. He showed the boss how a man could stand at the front end and pull a handle. That would fill the compart­ ment farthest away with scalding hot Water, which would afterward bo kept hot by steam. When the compartment was full it ran over into the middle trough, and that in turn into the next space, direotly in front of the opera­ tor. Soap is put into the water in that compartment. In that space a set of brushes revolved in the water, and they were set with springs, like a clothes- wringer, to let large and small dishes pass between them. A wide canvas belt with slats across it ran the whole length of the machine under water. If dishes were put between the revolving brushes they would be scoured with soap suds, dumped on the belt, carried into the second bath and rinsed off, and finally dumped into the clear, hot water in the third compartment. Out of that the belt delivered them into the L, where they dried of their own heat. The machine looked practicable, and the man from Ohio was sent home to build one for the Bowery restaurant. The dish-washers heard that a machine was to be put into the kitchen that would do the laundry work, wash dishes, scrub floors, stairs, and tables and sup­ ply steam for beating the building and for running trains on the elevated rail­ roads. They told the boss they would build a bonfire of the machine. They accused him of importing foreign pau­ per labor from Ohio, and they called a special meeting of the kitchen em­ ployes. But in due time the cast-iron dish-washer was" set up. When the workmen who set it up came around next morning to test it, all the bolts in tiie machine were found unscrewed, and -the wide canvas belt had been cut though the middle. They fixed it, and a guard was stationed to watch the ma­ chine next night. Another trial was made, and the ma­ chine washed dishes at the rate of Wi,- 000 pieces per day without apparently breaking a piece; btit when the water was drained off the bottoms of the troughs were found covered with broken dishes. The women said the machine broke them, but the Ohio mail claimed the pieces were dropped into the water by the women. He must have been right, because the next trial Was a perfect success. Everybody in the kitchen had been watched. It took several months for the machine to make friends with the dish-washers, who were given other employment, but to this day it is looked upon as a non union employe. It is the only machine of its kind in the city, and the only one other in the State is said to be in a big hotel at Lake Chautauqua. Squire H ebbs' Philosophy.

As the first issue ef -c-rtff^ibai*kff) which were not printed on noer~^iper, were most dangerously counterfeited, but have almost wholly disappeared from circulation, therefore receive them with great caution, or refuse ffiem if in doubt about their genuineness. All other genuine g eel%wfe% gold and silver certificates, and late! issues of national bank notes are printed on the Government fiber paper; fK first kind with the fiber distributed in short pieces, localized with a blue tugt, de­ tected by picking it with a fH; the' other with the fiber in two parallel threads, red and blue silk, r&ming lengthwise through the note, tt*L>y holding the note up to the lighR The public are cautioned not to d> a# these threads out of the paper. If in doubt about the genuinen^|ti of any bank note in the report refuse it unless printed on Government liber paper. All national bank notes%ot in this report are genuine, whether print­ ed on Government paper or not. The counterfeit $10 and $2j|.||Uver certificates are not on Govermhent paper. ^ Some of the counterfeit $5, m, and $20 greenbacks (series of 1875) and $50 and $500 ( series of 1869) are an imitation distributed fiber paper. Very, dangerous. These are all the counter­ feits on the new greenbacks worth noticing Better refuse all twenties, fifties, and one hundreds on the banks in this re­ port, unless printed on the Govern­ ment paper. All genuine bank notes,having brown back and seal, have both kinds of the fiber combined, while the counterfeit $10, on the Third National Bank of Cincinnati, Ohio, and the photographic counterfeit $"», on the First National Bank of Milwaukee, Wis., have no fiber. These two are the only counter­ feits on the brown backs. Better refuse all pieced notes. All United States currency having a brown seal has the parallel threads or cables. All United States currency printed since 1809 is on Government fiber paper. There are in circulation a great many very dangerous counterfeit $10 green­ backs, dated 1875.

A day or two after that a pioneer named Bailey came to his house and inquired if there was any mail for him. "There was a letter for you, Bill, but I've lost it," was the reply. "When?" * T'other day in the woods." "Well, I want that letter." "But ye can't get it. Pm sorry I lost it, but that's all I can do." "Then I'll have you removed from Office." "Look-a-here, Bill Bailey," said the official, as he began to skin off his coat, "I was appointed to hold this postoflice, and I'm bound to do it. As a private citizen I have no hard feelin's agin you; as postmaster 1 lost a letter writ to you by your sister in York State; as a representative of this great and awful Government I want to say to you that if I hear two more words of sass from your throat, I'll suppress the insurrection by hanging you to the nearest tree, so help me God, sir!"
