Why is the early grass like a penknife ? Because the spring brings out the blades. in the office of a Wisconsin journal there is a compositor who seta type so vapidly (says the pajiCv) that the friction of his movements fuses the leaden emblems in his stick, making them solid, like stereotype plates. The only way to prevent this is to have his case 'submerged in ■water; and the rapidity of his motions ■ keeps the water boiling and bubbling, to \ that eggs have frequently been boiled in | the space box. Pipes lead from the bottom of his case to a boiler in the press-room, and the steam generated by the fast compositor’s movements runs the machinery. In one day he set so much that it took all hands from editor to devil, two weeks to read the proof, and it wasn’t his good day for setting type, either. Holloway’s Ointment and Pills.— Diseases and casualties incidental to youth may be safely treated by the use of these excellent medicaments according to the printed directions folded round each pot and box. This Ointment is not alone applicable to external ailments ; conjointly with the Pills it exercises the most salutary influence in checking inflammations in the interior of the body ; when rubbed uyon the back and chest it gives most sensible relief in asthma, bronchitis, pleurisy, and threatening consumption.
