Another convenience is in the shape ot a carriagc,
containing the printers ink TO supply all these
presses, and which is moved along with ease from
one place 70 another as wanted-thereby obylatlng
waste, and the other dcsngremens OF carrying IT.
The two smaller presses move with a velocity
greater than the large IN the inverse ratio OF their
size, and are capable OF throwing off 5000 copies
per hour each. They are all set in motion by a
steam engine OF SIX horse power which, with the
furnace and boiler, and all its appurtenances, is
placed beneath the paper room, still lower floor,

the whole twenty-one hands are expected TO be on

Literature.
A FRENCH GRAMMAR, by Count de Laporte-Ots,
Broaders IL Co., Boston.-In the acquisition of any
language, grammar is most needed by scholar.
But, unfortunately, few grammars fully answer the
purpose for which they are designed. But this work
forms a exception to the preceding remark.
Its author has acquired high reputation in Boston
as teacher in the University of Cambridge, and
his talented education renders him peculiarly COM
petent tor the proper production OF awork such as
he has now offered to the public. This volume is
not a compilation of others previously published BY
Manesca, Wanos trocht, and several others. II is
an entirely new work, written IN a new style;
grammar which compels the student to reason and
compare, by which he not only remembers, out ne
understands the French language and, instead OF
being difficult him, il becomes pleasant and salts
factory This work has been followed by two other
pubcations-the "Speaking Exercises, and the
"SelfTeaching Reader'-which are both compl-
mentary 10 Count De Laportes writings. They all
possess intrinsic merit and will attract attention
and impart the best instruction TO the scholar Ihey
are earnestly recommended to teachers and to one
who is not acquainted with the French they are In
diSpensable and invaluable.

The school Fund scizr., upon by Congress.

By letter from senator Dreese 10 Gov Ford
published in the last State Register. it appears
that, By joint resolution Of The two houses, the
secretary Of the treasury is required to retain
from the states in arrears in the payment Of in
ierest on bonds held in trust by the general go
vorumcnt, so much Of the per centdse allowed
such states on tho sales Of public lands within
their borders as shall be necessary to cover such
lrrcarasCs. As the general government holds
par, Of the Indian trust fund, a considerable
amount of Illinois bonds, this act of congress Of
course takes from US at once the whole Of the
per cent fund We have hitherto relied upon for
the support Of our common schools. This Sena-
tor Breesc as well the State Register contend is
pllpablc violation Of the compact with our state,
and the case seems clear enough. BY that COM
pact his fund is secured to the state for purposes
Of education, and none other, in consideration
that the state will not tax the land owned by the
U. $. within her borders; yet congress, without
our consent, has taken it upon itself to appropriate
this fund for other purposes. The Register con-
sidcrs this gross outrage and thinks it would
almost justify a call Of the legislature, and the
adoption OF retaliatory measures. But we think
the propricty Of such a step may well be doubted.
An extra session Of the legislature would in the
first place, cost more than the whole per cent
fund amounts to and if realiatory measures are
to be resorted to at all, tsey will answer as well
If adopted year hence as now But would any
thing be gained by such measures--by taxing
every foot of land in the state owned by tho ge-
neral governments 1t is to be recolected, that if
tho L. 8. have violated their compact with US, we
were the FIRST to break an equally binding agree
nent with them, when VIC neglected to pay the
interest on our bonds. They have therefore
4 strong plea Of justice on their side, and as our
only hopo of success in retalialory measures
would be in enIisting in our favor the sympahics
Of the other states would we likely to do it, while
orima tarie, at least, justice would be against US
wiser course, it seems to us, would it be first |
10 endeayar TO convince congress and the country
Of the justice of our case, and then, if are rea-
ed with contempt, it will be soon enough to
adopt more stringent measures.
