of earnest pursuit to n..-l a method of rising

ary letter press style the I' t‘ttll'ch made by the

with int final success. We all.“ at aetiglh able
to say that the (lesion l‘ulllm lnt- bi en accom-
plished, and the Heliolype Utililltlllly, whose
place of business is at No. 99 Fulton sir“ i,
are prepared to work Willi the aid of sun 13
rapidly as publishers can dt‘éll’t , in the pin—
ductiou of sun types.
It is not claimed for this process as yet
that it will do everything that is desired. tint
it is the beginning of great thongs, unit we
confidently look for the day v hen i will be

currences in our streets, public meetings, pro-
cessions, and similar events .ouy te photo—

illustrated newspapers without the inlet Ven-
tioii of an engraver or wootlcutter.
At pit-st-nt the inventors wisely propose to
do no more for the public than they are able
to do perfectly. To show what their ability
is. we may state the resu‘t: of our own ex-
lttlltttulioll. A copperplate map of France,
tor example, was, handed to them, from
which they were to produce a type or plate
suited for letter-press work. Within twelve
hours they delivered the type, a solid plate,
from which we could t-mil y print a hundred
thousand copies on the press of the Journal
)f‘ Commerce. The copy piloted from this
type was fully equal in every respect to the
original, and an exact juc amide of it. An
elegantly designed ornamental card, with tan-
clful letters, made by the hand of a skilful
artist, being placed in their bands, they, in a
few hours, produced a type from which the
card can be printed to any extent desired.—
A n ordinary wood engraving is reproduced

Music is admirably and perfectly copied.
One of the merits of the invention consists
in the ability to change the size of the picture

i: no reasonable doubt that the process will
be so perfected that it. would be easy to repub-
lish in Ibis country any European illustra-
ted newspaper within twenty-four hours af-
ter its receipt by steamer.
We have been careful not. tocluim too
much for this invention in its present work-
ing condition. This company can do all
kinds of map work, outlines, and plans of
altists anti engineers, many styles, of en-
gravuigs, especially those which deal in sharp

man y other kinds of illustrations. They
may an: ally do much more, but this is
enough to justify our assertion that beliotyp-
gtaphy is awssary word in the English
langtmgt‘.
In one department the company has achie-
Vct u startling triumph, namely, in the re-
production of' rare old tracts and books.—
A'an y gentlemen having such treasures in
their libraries, desire to print private editions

such editions is furnished in absolute facsim-

only be distinguished from the old by the
paper on which it is printed. Mup-ruukers,

N. Y, Inebriate Asylum.
Willard Parker, M. D., President of the
above Institution has issued a circular to the
subscribers of the fund of the Asylum, post-
poning the annual election of officers, simp-
ly because a person appeared to vote by
proxy and would not. tell the number of
votes he held, and requesting for himself the
proxies of the subscribers, at the same time
casting reflections upon the late management
of the Institution by Dr. Turner, now a res-
ident of Wiltt‘ The Dr. has addressed the
following reply to Dr. Parker 1—— ‘
WILTON, 00110., June 20th, 1867.
WILLARD PARKER, M. D., President of
the New York State Inebriate Asylum:
321' :—-I have been informed that. it was
stated at the meeting of the stockholders,
held at the office of the Asylum, June 5th,
1867, for an election of a new Board of
Trustees. “that I wished to become again a
Trustee of the Asylum. and the Superinten-
dent of the Institution.”
This supposition is unfounded. I would
not consider it an honor to be a Trustee or
Superintendent of an Institution of which I
was the Founder, any more than George
Peabody would consider it. an honor-to be
Trustee of a Charity-fund of his own crea-
tion. My only desire is to secure for the Asy—
lum a Board of Trustees, composed of the
most honorable and influentirl gentlemen of
our State, who will prevent the funds of the
Asylum from being spent by a. “ring,” and
prevent its rules, regulations, bounds and re-
film")!!! from being prostituted to the free
and easy life of a summer retreat.
[feel responsible to the Stockholders of
the New York State Inebriute Asylum for
naming you as a Trustee of the Institution,
and securing your election as President of
the corporation. All your predecessors were
honorable men and christian gentlemen.—
They were always ready and willing to ex-
tend to me the advice and counsel that my
labors required in building and organizing
the Hospital Hon. Benjamin F. Butler.
Hon. Reuben H. Walworth, John W. Fran-
crs, M. D., Valentine Mott, M. D., are names
that. will always shine. as worthy Presidents
in the history of the first Inebr'tate Asylum
iii the world.
Tue Stockholders will now hold you re-
sponsible for being one of a party who atl-
journed the annual election of Trustees from
the 5th to the 215i June, although a notice of
the election had been previously publisher]
for two weeks in the Slate paper. This ad-
journment was had for the simple reason
that a gentleman named 11 S. Anderson,
Esq, appeared on the day of the election
(the 5th). and stated that. he came for the
purpose-of voting by proxy for Trustees.
B this flagrant. violation of the charter of
the nstitution, you have destroyed all legal
right of the Asylum to collect. the ten per
cent. o, the Excise mofleys from the County
Treasurers of the State. Is it a fair trausae=
tion for a Board of Directors to postpone an
election because they have not. votes enough
to elect themselves again to office?
I feel a deep interest in the success and
progperity of the Institution. Perhaps no
one can feel as I do upon the subject. It is
a child which I have brought into existence
—uursed when it was weak—supported when
helpless.
As you and your associates have displayed
switch interest for the success of the Asy-
ltrm, and have attempted to convince the
world that. you were its best friends and ben-
efactors, I herewith submit. to yoti a plan
whereby the institution can be endowed to
the amount of ninety—tivo thousand dollars,
without. resorting to the nefarious act. of
making,r over to the State the entire property
of the. Asylum, without the consent. of the.
stockholdt-i s. .
I agree to don dc to the New York State
Inebriatc Asylum the sum of ten thousand
dollars, for the endowment of two free-beds
in said Asylum, provided that. you, A. Bird-
sall, Win. R. f)sbtii'n,,Cliai‘les W. Sanford,
H. S. Griswold and Win. P. Pope, will each
give the sum of leu-tliouinnd dollars to en«
~dow free-beds in said Aslyum. For the pur-
pose of finishing the Chapel immediately, I
agree to givn five thousand dollars to the
Asylum, provide-.1 you will give thelikesum
for the suite purpose. For supplying the
Asylum with a, well selected medical library,
I agree to give to the institution, three thou-
sand dollars, provided that you, Dr. A. C.
Post. and Dr. John Conkliug will each give
alike sum for the same purpose.
The sum of money, ($18,000), which I
agree to give to the New York State Inebri-
ate Acyluin, on the above conditions, is now
deposrted in the United States Trust Compa-
uy, ready to he paid over to the Asylum as
soon as you and your associates shall have
complied with the above proposition. It. is
hoped that. 'you and your associate trustees
, have not deceived the world by pretensions
of extraordinary zeal for the institution,—
you now have an opportunity to convince
the public of your sincerity.
In a report made to the legislature of our
State, J auunry 8th, 1867, verified by your af-
fidavit and that of Win. R. Osborn, Treasur—
er, it is stated that under my administration
nearly one half of the patients received had
been cured, and the Asylum had been a fi-
nancial success in paying its running expen-
sea.
Therefore, you will readily see how iuuch
additional good can be accomplished if the
Asylum can secure the above donations.

A Cozv ’I‘owN.-—-A California paper, ambi-
tions to keep up the reputation of its State
for natural wonders, gives an idea. of the
depth of the snow on the Sierra Nevada
mountains in February and March, by de-
scribing a visit. of a merchant, trained Adams,
from the valley to the mining town of Men-
dow lake, on the top of the mountains:
“He procured a pair of snow shoes, and
took the truck of some parties who had gone
over the day in fore. After some hours of
hard travel he arrived wherelhc town should
be, but not a house was visible. While he
was looking around, a man suddenly came
up out of the snow, like a mermaid out. of
the sea. Adams asked if' he could tell where
Meadow Lake was, not knowing, as yet,
whetnrr the object before him was a man or
a. spirit. ‘Why,’ said the fellow, ‘you are
right on the plaza ' Adams asked him if
he could show him where the store of Admits
& Johnson was“ ‘Oh,'ycs! come alcng.’ A
few shoves on a piir of" snow shoes soon
brought. them to a‘ ronutl,holc in the snow,
and Adams was toltl that. that was the hole
which led to the alone. There were stairs
made in the snow like a spiral stairway thSt-
ing Schral time around the hole in making
the (it seem. Finally he arrived at the bot-
tom, and was astonished to find his friends
there happy and gay, and ready to vouch
for the country being one of the richest ever
discovered. From the store they traveled
over town through tunnels. Every one seem-
ed to In: contented with his lot. The citizens

now being stripped of its timber by Austrian

These are of the following kinds z—thosc
which resemble holy writ—mere iiuitalionsi;
those which have additions—falsely called
emeudatinns; and genuine Scripture-mis-
applied. “God tempers the wind to the
shorn lamb," is a smooth line of Sterne.
The nearest approach to it in Scripture is
Isaiah xxvii, 8: “He stayeth his rough wind
in the day of his east. wind."
“In the midst of life we are in death,”
(Common Prayer.) Yet it is said the cele-
brated Robert Hall chose it. as a text for a
funeral sermon. “Bread and wine which the
Lord hath commanded to be received.”—
Froui the Catachism of the Church of Eng-
land, and has been quoted to prove from the
Bible that total abstainers were wrong in re-
tusmg wine at the sacrament of the Lord’s
Supper.
-“Not to be wise above what is written."
Used to repress undue anxiety to compre-
hend the higher mysteries of Christianity.
Has no place in the Word.
The oft quoted phrase,“Scals to his minis-
try aud SIUIS for his hire.” A metaphor;
who that approved or otherwise, it is not in
Scripture.
A very objectionable form is often used in
prayer, “That the Spirit of the Lord would
go from heart to heart, as oil from vessel to
to vessel." This phrase, if properly consid-
ered, would tend to lower our conceptions of
the omnipresence of God, and does not con-
veya correct idea of the influence of divine
grace in the hearts anti minds of men. It is
not scriptural.
Kindness to animals is often enforced by
“The merciful man is merciful to his beast.”
Something like this may be found in Prov-
erbs xv, 10: "A righteous man regardeth
the life of his beast."
“A nation shall be born in a day." There
is no such prediction either in the Dirt Tes-
tatmeut or the New. The only Scripture
like it is Isaiah lxvi,8: “Shall a nation be
born at once ?"
“ Iron sharpcucth iron, so a man sharpen-
eth the countenance of his friend," (Proverbs '
xvii, 18,) is by no means improved by the
common version f “As iron sharpeueth iron,
so doth the countenance of a man his
friend.”
“That. he who runs may read,” conveys a
notion that the writing is so very distinct
that a man sees it; by the wayside while be Is
running. This is not the lesson Scripture
teaches, Habakkuk ii, 2 : “Write the vision
and make it plain upon tables, that he may
run that readeth." You perceive that the
reading is to be deliberate—previous to run-
ning and iii order to do it.
“Owe no man anything but love," is a
mangled quotation of Humans xiii, 8 l“0we
no inau anything, but. to love one another.”
Matthew xvrii, 2 : “Where two or three
are gathered together in my name, there am
I in the midst or them," is often used with
the addition, “and that to bless them."
This is a superfluous addition, and is not in
harmo with the ltedecmer’s promise, and
when attributed to trim is incorrect. It may
have its origin in Exodus xx, 24: “In all
places where 1 record my name, 1 will come
unlothee, and 1 will bless thee."
2 Thessalonians, iii, 1 : “That the word of
the Lord may have free course and be glori—
ticd,” is often quoted with ‘ the addition
“run" after the words "free course."
Ephesians. iii, 20 : God “is able to do ex—
cetdingly abundantly above all that we can
ask or think," has often appended to it, “or
are worthy to receive,” which in this connec-
tion is without sense, and unscriptural.

ess tie on returning the other day from
a drive, was iiilotmed by herfcnmzctlccluum
bre that an assistant at one of our large card
engravcrs hard just brought a packet. for her.
The lady opened her packet, and found a
hundred beautilul printed cards with the
name of ‘lIeiiri’ surmounted by a baronial
eorouct, cngravud upon them.
“There is surely some mistake,” said the
baroness; ”I have ordered uo cards, and be-
sides they bear a name totally unknown to
me.”
“I can assure you there is no mistake on
my part, madam. l was told to bring them
to the Baroness dc —-—-."
On saying this the young man left. the
house, and the lady was about to call hiui
back, when the lemme de chambrc, who had
up to that moment remained quiet, said she
thought. the cards were tor “M. Henri, mad-
ame‘s coachinun !"
“For Henri, my eoacbman l" exclaimed
the lady with surprise.
“Ell, been! madame; because one is a do-
mestic is that a reason why he should not
have a card as well as his master or mis-
tress ‘3”
“ Oh i" replied the barouess, “I have no
objection, but. Henri might. have left out the
barouial coronct."
“It madame puts it on his livery buttons,”
returned the famine dc chambre, with a mag-
nificent air, “how can madame object to pitt-

The ready answer was too much for the
lady, who ended the dialogue with a hearty

his discharge. He went to Major General

inquired who had procured his discharge. “1
