nrSome lawyers in Ohio Legisla-
ture recently offered bill for establish
ing Printing Department in the Peni-
Tertiary, whereupon the Printers through
out the State Immediately sent memo
rial to their lawmakers to open a law
school also. The petitioners allege that
it would be more in accordance with
facts, and more profitable to the State
than the Printing business, as the Pro-
fessors of the Law School could be pro-
cured within the prison; and as no prin-
ters could be found there, it would be
expensive to hire them to learn the prin-
ters' art. We don't believe the prin-
ting bill will become law!

The Irishman's Salute.

Two Irishmen had been left in charge ola ship
while its officers went ashore, and and strictly
enioined not to make or permit any noise on
board: but jug Of could Irish" one Of them
had, and the opportunity for ''bit Of spree"
was too great for them to resist.
They INDUCED freely, as many of our public
men have been known to, and soon drank them
selves into a patriotic spirit. When one said to
the other:
"Be iabers, and lets fire salute.'
"Agreed, but that 'ud make the divil's own
noise," said the other.
"Tut, man, we'll stop that" replied the first.
'Jist you hould bag over the mouth of the
gun, me darlint, and we'll have a roarin' salute
without any noise al ALL
Pat acquicaccd in the arrangement and held
the bag as directed, while the other touched of
the cannon. The officers hearing the report,
fastened on board, where they found only one Of
the 1rishmen, and everything in a great state of
bewildcrment. He was asked what had become
of his comrade
ssSure." said he. ssPathrick was holding a bag
over the mouth Of the cannon, TO stop the noise,

closely.
Alarmed lest another answer from the pig
might expose and confound him, the exasperated
seller suddenly seized ii by the snout, icrked it
from the shambles. and thrusting il at Blilz said:
