The PUBLIC PRINTIN0.-A great many discus

upon the abuses of the public printing, and great
many plans have been devised for reforming them,
but none has proved successful orsatisiactory One
abuse clings to every system that has been tried
and is perhaps, inseparable from the plan of giving
the printing to the lowest bidder. We refer to its
miserable mechanical execution, which is a dis
grace to the typographical art in America. Such
miserable paper, such wretched press-work, were
never seen before. We do not believe that in the
whole history of the typographical art from the in
vention of printing to the latest yellow covered
literature, there be found such miserable speci-
mems OF printing as presented in the Congress
sonal documents This should not be suffered any

and researches of military officers are entitled
to permanent place in the literature of the coun-
try; and many of them contain valuable additions
to science and to geographical discovery. They
should be preserved in some better form than that
in which the Compression al documents are printed
Many OF the reports Of Congressional committees
are prepared with great labor, and embrace great
amount Of learning and research. They form
part of the history of the country, most important
part Of its statistical and often of its constitutional
history. They should be put in such shape not

"1xe Block Snakes.-A pious Indian, deacon OF
the church at Natick was once, while in the woods
attacked by Very large number of black snakes.
He found that it was in vain To- attempt 10 make
his escape by running from them, and he had no
weapon Of defence. He concluded TO stand still,

was the viii Of God that he should perish. They
approached him ON every side with their heads

greatly TO the effect. Those who suppose that the
performances Of this band nothing better than
those OF the ordinary bands that traverse the coun-
