The KINGDOM OF SLANT is an inter-
esting fact, and one not generally known in
this country, that the King of Siam, one of
the political subdivisions of Chin India, is
very friendly, liberal, and tolerant to all
foreigners. Their presence is not merely
liberated for the commercial advantages
which may result fherefrom, but they are
received on terms of great cordiahty and
friendship The Inhabitants have made
great advances in civilization and refine
ment, and cultivate the arts and sciences to
an extent which would surprise many who
are in the habit of associating everything
Of the kind insepara bly, with European and
American society. The productions of
that country are those common to Southern
Asia, and might be made source of COM
mercial profit in our East India trade. The
present, seems to afford very favorable
opportunity to enter into treaty Of amity
and friendship with that power and it is
hoped the Government will empower the
new Commissioners to China, or add to the
instruction of the Japan expedition, power
to visit and treat with the King of Siam -
The Babtist missionaries have labored long
and successfully in severally localities in
Chin India and treaty Of the kind spoken
of above would not only advance the inter-
ests of commerce but materially aid the
cause of civilization and Christia nifty
Bosto Journal
I'm Editor in the Blues The editor of the
Saratoga Republican, published at the IA
nous Saratoga Springs, N. Y, pours his
lamentations in the following Indignant
strains:
Having made precisely money enough at
the printing business. the subscriber is sat
isfed to give up and retire to the poor house.
Under these circumstances, he is induced to
offer the printing establishment OF the Sara
toga Republican for sale. The paper has a
circulation OF ABOUT l.cUU-Utic-fohItl vi
which may be called paying, and the other
three-iourths non-paying patrons. The OIL
flee has good variety OF job type and a
fair run of work of this description, provided
the work is done at the reduced New York
prices. and the printer will take ''cats and
dogsn for pay. This village is one Of the
prettiest places in the world for a newspa-
per publisher. Everybody will find fault,
do the best you can, and the editor who
pleases himself will stand but slim chance
OF pleasing anybody else.s The subscription
list and good will OF the office will be
thrown in if the purchaser will take the
type, presses aud materials Tor what they
are worth, and pay for them, so that there
will be no probability of the present propri-
etor being obliged to take the establishment
back and return to the business.

Life in a Powder Mill.

Dickens thus describes a visit to the
Powder-Ml of IIounslow, near London
"In this silent region, amid whose ninety
seven replaces no human voice ever
breaks upon the ear, and where, indeed, no
human torn is seen, except in the isolated
house in which his allotted task is perform.
ed, there are secreted upwards of two
hundred aud fifty work people, they are a
peculiar race, not, of course, by nature, in
most cases, but by the habit oil years. The
circumstances of momentary destruction in
which they live, added t) the most st1in-
gent and necessary regulations, have sub
dued their mind and feelings to the cond,
ton of their hire. There is seldom any
need to enforce these regulations. Some
terrific explosion here, or in works of a
similar kind elsewhere leaves fixed mark
in their memories, and acts as constant
warning Here no shadow of a practical
joke, or caper Of animal spirits, ever trans
plres no wlttlclsms, no 0aths, no chatting
or slang, A laugh is never heard a smile
seldom seen. Even the work is carried on
by the men with as few words as DO sible,
and these uttered in a low tone. Not that
any body lancies that mere sound will a.
Waken the spirit Of combustion, or cause
an explosion to take place, but their feel.
ings are always kept subdued. If one man
wishes to communicate anything to another
or to ask for anything from another at a
short distance, he must 90 there he is
never permitted to shout or call out There
is particular reason for this last regulation.
Amid all this silence whenever shout
does occur, everybody knows that some
imminent danger is expected the next mo,
ment, and all rush away headlong from the
direction Of the shout. As to running
towards it to offer any assistance, as is
common in all other cases, it is Thoroughly
understood that none can be afforded An
accident here is immediate and beyond
remedy. If the shouting be continued for
some time, for man might be drowning
in nver,) that might cause one or two Of
The bodest to return but this would be a
very rare occurrence. It's by no means to

sensible to the perils Of each other on the
contrary they have the greatest consdera,
ton for each other, as well rs for their EN-,
ployers, and think of the danger to tie lives
of others, and of the property at stake at all
times, and more especially in all the more
dangerous houses" The proprietors Of
the various guupowder mills all display the
same consideration for each other, and
whenever any improvement tending to
lessen danger is discovered by one, it is i'm
