PRINrERs AND PRINTING II. T. buckingham;
in his series Of reminsceices, in course Of pubh-
cation in the Boston Courier, speaks Of the i'm
portance Of the printer to authors, as follows:
Many who condescenG 10 illuminate the dark
world with the fire Of their genius, thrt"Gh 'he
columns of a newspaper, little think OF the lot oi
the printer, who almost sutfocated by the smoke
OF lamp sits up till midnight TO correct his false
grammar, bad photography, and worse pnnclua-
ton. l have seen the arguments OF lawyers, IN
high repue scholars, sent 10 the printer in their
own hand writing, many words s-and sspe ecially
technical and foreign terms abbreviated, words
mis- spelled, and few Or no points, and those few,
if there any, entirely out of place. 1 have
seen the sermons of dviDes sent TO the press with
out points capitals to designate the division of
sentences sermons which, if published with the
mperfectons OF manuscript, would disgrace the
printers devil if he were the author. Suppose
they had been so printed. The printer would
have been treated with scorn and contempt as an
trrate bIockhead-as a fellow better fitted 10
be a wood sawyer than printer. No one would
have belived III 1t such gross and palpab1e faults
were owing TO the ignorance and carelessness Of
the author. And no one but the practical prIn-
ter knows how many hours t. composition, and
after hin, the proof reader, is compelled to spend
in reducing to a readable condition manuscripts
that the writer himself would be puzzled to read

The MEDAL FOR GEN. SsoTT-The
following is the description of the medal
which The Legislature of Virginia is
about 20 present TO Gen. Scott:
The medal is three and half inches in
diameter, and five sixteenths of an inch
thick, and is of course very massive and
rich. On one side Is an admirable life
like bust of the General, with the words,
winfield Scott" in capitals above. The
bust stands upon an obong pedestal
hanked by two noble eagles, sprigs Of
lareul and oak touching their wings-a
number of flags, two Mexican banners
among them,) guns, pixies, mortars, aud
field pieces forming AN appropriate back
ground. On the pedestal is the follow.
ing inscription: "The Commonwealth of
Virginia presents this medal to Major
Gen. Winfield Scott, as memorial of
her admiration for the great and distn-
guished services of her son, whilst COM
mander.in chief of the American armies

reverse side in the centre stands beat.

base, and "1S4S" on the capital. A

is entwined with wreaths OF laurel, in
scribed with the words, "Vera Cruz,
Cerro Gordo, .Contreras, Churubusco,

tne column are the words, "Fecit Quod

take i0 with the peculiar and strrkingly

The whole encircfed by a very rich

The medal is one of great beauty and
magnificence, and does great credit to
the exquisite skill and taste Of Mr.. G. G.
Wright, an old soldier under Gen. Scott,
and now of New York.

DRtEsBAcH AND HIS TIoER ON STEAM
BoAT.-On Wednesday last, Herr Dries
bach, the celebrated tanner Of wild beasts,
received at GAINESVILLE telegraphic des-
patch TO come to Cincinnati. and bring
with him his pet. the grea; Brazilian Tiger.
one of the most feroclous animals ever
tanned. Herr, accordingly. took berth
on the steamer Julia Dean, putting down
'Herr Driesbach," first birth: 'Coionel
Alexander" Ghe name Herr gives the old
tiger) second birth. Herr remarked that
the Colonel was queer old fellow, ac-
customed to sleeping out" and had,
withal, peculiar fancy-he would sleep
on nothing but straw! The chambermaid
took away the bed and replaced it with
full supply Of that article. Business
and preparation to start went on. Just
before the last bell, Herr and the tiger
made their appearance in the cabin op-
posite the state-room door. The clerk
hearing an unusual stir in the cabin,
opened his Office door, and looking down
the cabin, spied the glaring eyes and
savage body of his Royal Majesty! He
recognized Herr Driesbach, but he did
not relish the appearance of Colonel
Alexander. Still he did not feel like
ordering the party ashore. He felt re-
pugnance to that undertaking, and cons
cluded to let things take their wonted
course. Herr unlocked his state.room
door, and his majesty, at a bound, was on
his straw bed.
After little time spent in arranging
IN God hp clp prlx
and others that his pet was entirely under
his command, aud intimated to the bar
keeper that bottle of brandy would be
rel,shed by his Roya: Highness. Tor him

room by the trembling waiter, who had
forgotten to bring with the liquor the re-

a punishment. Herr told the tiger to
'Take the corner" which he did, and
stepping quickly out, locked the astonish-
ed boalman in, while he went for the
water. The man was 80 frightened that
he spoke not, neither did he move, till
Herr returned aud stated to him that ne
need have no fears, as she tiger would
keep his place until he ordered him to
rise. When night came, Driesbach lock
ed his state-rOOm, babe his Majesty good
night, and went to bed in the upper berth,
and the "happy couple" had good and
peaceful nights rest. On arriving at our
wharf, Col. Alexander showed his ap.
probation of the boat by giving two or
three growls. interpreted as approbatory
by Herr, and the party sought hack,
which, wheE found, happened to be driven
by Il son of the Emerald Isle.
AT first sight the driver utterly refused
to take the "baste," but was perfectly
willing that Driesbach should be accom-
modaled. His fears were allayed, how
ever, by the tiger jumping inside, and he
drove to the Denuison House; but Dennl-
son resolutely refused to allow his Royal
Majesty to take roortis at his hotel, and
Driesbach was obliged to take rooms for
his friend at Woods Museum, while he
returned to Dennison's the nearest and
best place he could fnd. We presume
that such an instance of travel has never
before been recorded Gin. Com.

The WATER-GAs.-A public expert
ment respecting the qualities of the new
water.gas was made in Baltimore in pre-
sence of several of the most eminent
scientific gentlemen Of that place. The
result is thus given by the Clippers
The results were, that the water gas
consumed two and six.tenths cubic feet
per hour, and gave light equal to twenty
five sperm candles. After graduating the
gas-5urner to give light of different pow
ers, and testing them properly, the ap.
paratus was applied to pipe supplying
the coal-gas from the Baltimore Coal Gas
Works. The same pressure was used as
for the water-gas, and the same gas
burner consumed four feet of coal as
per hour, and gave the light of less than
six candles. The results were so as
founding to several gentlemen present.
that the experiments were repeated. TIM
ed and measured with the greatest ac-
curacy, and the results as before, namely
-water-gas consuming two aud six
tenths cubic feet, gave light equal to
twenty-five candlesj aud coal-gas, con-
sumins four feet, gave less than six can
dies. ereaas
The same apparatus, pressure, test
light, and gas-burner were used in one
gas as in the other. The metre used is
constructed to divide the cubic foot into
tenths, aud SO arranged as to see and
regulate the pressure accurately.
The water-gas was tested at the Clipper
Office, and the coal-gas in the same block
The coal-gas in Baltimore is sold at S4
per 1000 feet, Subject to slight discount
on prompt payment) This rich. brilliant
water-gas is generated at about 81 50
per 1000 feet. including all materials.
