This is a first-class lecture? equal to the best?and yet, admission will be free, because the Sunday League of America has engaged Dr. Thomson to give this lecture in thirty-five cities of this State, and our city has been selected as one of the places. I The Springfield, (Ill.)Drtf7y Xtws says of Dr. Thomson: "He is the most eloj quent champion of Sunday reform in the | world." I The Nashville, (Tenn.) Daily American remarks: "Dr. Thomson is one of the j most finished orators of the South, and I though:a lawyer by profession, he gives j much of his time to the work of this I league, of which he is the head." J. D. Chapman, I). D? Duffy Street I Baptist Church, Savannah, Ga.: "The lecture he gave in our. church was not only superb in manner, but profoundly ! interesting in matter.

Passing of the Quarto Herald. TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS OF YE EDITOR AND YE PRINTER. An O'er-trne Tale in a Vernacular That is Intelligible Even to the Uninitiated Lay Reader. QUARTO?TIIF. TURNING DOWN OF THE rnns'TEi:. It was only after a considerable amount of gee-whoaing and heehawing, and the exercise of other vociferous persuasions, that the Printer was dually enabled to restrain the Fast Horse from an immediate gratification of Her Inordi nate Appetite. She had fully made up her mind to enter that livery stable, and the perspiring Printer was almost in despair of being able so get the hammer-like head turned the other way. His efforts attracted a small crowd, several of the members of which added to his irritation by the unsolicited offer of sarcastic adyice. His temper was ip no wise improved when lie spied the Devil on the other side of the street, who, haviug by a superhuman effort, Wrenched his eyes from a contemplation of the cliarmsof thescautily clad "cigarette girls," in the window of the cigar store, now stood on the pavement, his legs wide apart, his hat on the back of his head, his pudgy hauds thrust deep in the pockets of his knickerbockers, and a most sardonic grin corrugating his impish face. The Printer was (Jriyen nearly to desperation when, the grinning crowd still increasing, and his struggles with the Horse becoming mpre frantic, the Pevjl yelled to him ;n his shrillest voice; '?SheJs tuck dpr studs, Specks, T'row sand in her ears!" This advice parsed the Crowd to laugh and jeer, and thp Printer to curse under his breath. He was abont turn the stubborn animal loose, when She finally concluded to go quietly back to the front of the Times and Democrat office. The gruesome appearance of the Black Wagon, and the mystery surrounding THE ??1*1*0 t-:.1.1 - - i,, ~ ? 4-U .U ? U.,Uk? uiuucu upucabfi IMP f-vuuuci spread over its bed, raised the curiosity of the Orowd to fever heat, and when the Printer, in a menacing voice, warned the Devil not to leave the Horse again on the peril of his life, and started to enter the store i}} front o| thei printing o$ce5 again,: the assemblage'had'become quite a Mob, and several of the more veil- 1 turesome loungers were interrogating the DeyiJ w]lat ha(x died of. The Printer ftgH'-d the young Demons dnvwerarhe stepped across the threshold. It was: "Smallpox!" Thereupon the Mob melted away in panic-stricken hurry, one pompous looking man in a black Prince Albert coat and duck trousers, declaring iu a veiy loud tone that the {'police ought to he noticed," while a sanguinary looking fellhw in a blue shirt made the horrible suggestion that they should "lynch that feller in specks!" The Printer ground his teeth in impotent rage, but being assured by the pretty and pleasant mannered young lady clerk that THE BOSSES' "friend SXMg" had arrived, he presented himself immediately before that gentleman, and handed him the letter of application, introduction, and supplication, regarding the "working off of the edition," with which the Boss had provided him The former's "friend" proved to be a very merry gentleman of rolypoly figure, who - hastily1 read the tt^te and said i '"All right, sir, I reckon we can -1.1... ...v.. ?? accoinuiuuulu )uu; Thereupon he called to the Foreman, and the Presgfoun, his A&siat ant, black as Erebus, and several Printers?all of whom he instructed to go out to the Wagon and bring ip the Form?, The printer accompanied them, and was overjoyed to find that the Devil's horrifying disclosures as to the Cause of Death of the Coffined Corpse under the Rubber Blanket, had driven 'everybody from that 'side o'f the street for the distance of half a block each way. There was a small Crowd gathered on the sidewalk opposite, mid when the paper's'force ohtancj the prin'te*1, .mounting the off hind wheel 6f the Black Wagon, lifted the Rubber Blanket from the Forms, a barefooted negro shouted ; "Dey'sgwinetohtek derco'ps in!" And the other members of the Crowd craned their necks to catch a glimpse of It. Thei" curiosity and interest was inflamed to feVer heat, when the Printer, b.epq:n"^ qv'er the iVm?? tittered a despairing cry, . ' One of the p:?ges of type undei - ne.ith the Blanket was intact, al though deeply coated with the sand and grit taken up bv the wheels of the Wagon from the roads !of Orangeburg cohnty, but several columns, at the bottom of' its fellow, had sprung'hway from" the chases, and were ' " *'* KNOCKED INTO HOPELESS "PI." isow pi, when spelled with a final e, and composed of toothsome ing>e-' dients, is a1'very good ^iiig, but wjth t|ie yopvel Cur.failed it is aching that all gogd printer's vi?w With horror.

Dat is a bust up. j But den dis yere ole nigger hearse wus jes* bound ter be a hoodoo!" Bight then and there the Printer | could have committed Wholesale! Murder, but he smothered his rage, and when the Foreman suggested that the page might be "fixed up," he felt like shaking him by the hand, and treating him to a drink of ?artesian water. A careful examination revealed the fact that four of the "pied" articles were of unimportant "miscellaneous matter," put in to "justify" the page. The most serious "pi" was the bottom of one of the col timns devoted to the Bosses' Great Scood. "The Williams Disbarment Case*" "What is that article?" asked the Foreman, The Printer told him. XO FURTHER DISASTER. "You're all right then," was the gratifying response. "It appeared in this morning's State, and our men have it in hand. There's less i than a stick full pied, and you can set that up in no time. I'll loan you matter to take the place of those other artioles. The Printer thanked him gratefully, and under the di rection of the Pressman, who had returned to the Wagon, the Form that was intact was lifted out and carried through the store and back to the press room. Its pied brother was lifted out on the Board, and, although it scattered a trail of type J from the Wagon to its final resting place on the floor of the press room, it was laid thereon without further disaster. The Deyil picked pp the scattered type, and the pretty young i }ady clerk gave him a box to put it in. The Printer pulled off his coat apd began cleaning out the pied lines in the Form and setting straight the , balance of the page. Being provided with the '<copy" of the Williams 1 pase, and shown a ''case" of type, thp little metal letters were soon merrily clicking together in his composing stick. Meanwhile the "Foreman had lifted othei matter ill ill place of the remaining pied articles, and when the Printer finished his "take" of th^Williams storj, all i that wa3 necessary to do was to lift ! the type into place and "lock up" , the Form. ' , pdfQye beginning work at the case the Printer had instructed the Devil to take the Hor$e to the livery stable uearby and "feed Her well." The Imp reported that this had been done, and while the Printer worked he amused himself by guying the , other printers behind backs and c$gtjng "languishing glances ju the direction of every pretty girl customer who came into the store in front. Printer and devi^ AND EAT. When everything was ready and the lately wrecked Form had been j imposed for the press, the Pressman < informed the Printer that he would not be able to put his job oil until J "just before dinner." The Printer , had become philosophical again, and he did not eyeu sjgh Of hd washed the type stains from his hands, donned his coat, and went out with the Devil to "Prow a snack inter him" as the latter put it, It was the Printer's first visit to Orangeburg's shire town, and lie ha;} resolved during the ride' thitherto sae s&uje Of lU beauties, but the disaster to the Forms had put all desire for this sort of thiugfrom his mind, and after a visit to the Stable, where he was informed by a negro hostler that the Hor^e was ' "jes' stnftin' hevse'f," he submitted to the Devil's importunities) whose hunger?despite the great quantity of green apples and unripe peaches (to say nothing of the watern^elftnj he had consumecj ^l&ug tfce road? never be' satis tied, and {Jquted up a rest'auraut. ;l It was not much of a place that they were finally, after many inquiries, directed to ty a friendly native, and the only food ready to be served at that moment, was "bread and butter and coffee." "Dat'Jl do,' vouchsafed the Devil. ^Dredd is tilliu' an' dercoffee'll help pack it away." ' Immediately following this gastronoinical observation, which was made while they were seated at a table covered with a cloth that had once1 been white, there was a bustle at the door, and a ridiculous Little Man, who was in stature and physL cal conformation masculine "Miss Mp.ucher,'* buried into the room. A BITING EETORT. It has been before stated that the Priuter has but one go<xl eye, and Mils is bad', and he thought he recognized in the newcomer a man whom he had met in the I^qrtlu of similar build ipid s.tatqre.. He mentioned this fact to his companion, aqd the Devil waved one of his little arms to attract attention, in.d shout ed across the room: "S a a-y, Shorty!
