DEAR SIR.-Wll YOU BE- SO kind as to
inform me whether one or two tcaluke
printers coulI, in case Of emergency, be
obtained in your city, and induced to
come to this place %, At what rates
they work ? and 81, Whether they set
type with facility, make clean proof, NC?
We receive, every week, from all parts
Of the country, inquiries similar to the
foregoing; and to save trouble 'all ronnd,
have concluded, as Warren in Uncle
Tom says, to answer them in a mass ge-
ncraI!y, and to reply to this one from
Tennessee particularly"
In Boston, probably there are some two
hundred girls employed in printing Off
Ses, most Of whose families reside in this
city or in its immediate vicinity. They
arc principally in the Offices of weekly
papers or magazines. They can, if they
have good common school education,
learn to SET type with facility in three
months practice. The price paid is from
eighteen to twenty cents per thousand
ems, or say two thirds the price paid to
men. y girl can set type as fast as a
man can and in our Office, female com,
positors, working eight or nine hours per
day, carn from seven to eight dollars per
week.
Now for our friend particularly. -
Every girl in Boston, who is old enough
TO work iii a printing Office, or in any other
Office, has lover, who she would be Just
as likely to trade off for Tennessee arti-
Gle, as she would be to swap him of for
Il grizzly bear. The idea of Il Boston girl,
who goes to opera, patronlzes julien 5
concerts, waltzcS once Il week, eats ice
creams, rides in the omnibus, wears satin
slippers, and sometimes kisses the editor,
going to Tennessee. except she goes there
as one of your first class citizens-edi-
tors excepted---is truly ridicuous.-
Wouldn't a girl in silk dress, lace edg-
ed and shiny gaiter boots look well, trudg-
ing through the mud and mire of Nash.
VILE to an old barn of a printing office,
The walls of which are stuck all over with
posters otteringrewards for runaway mig
gers, while in one corner of the room two
old darkles are jerking away at ramage
press, and in the other the editor is
squirting tobacco juice all over the floor?
Wouldn't she be in a nice fix when the
editor and some great brute Of fellow
whom he had offended, got to playinr a,
the game of shooting their revolvers
across the office at each others heads ?
Who wsuld make the fire when the devil
had run off and the editor was drunk 3
Who would o.home with her dark nights?
Who would take her out riding Saturday
afternoons and so to church with her on
Sundays No, Sjr-a Boston girl would
not go to Tennessee for love nor money
She can get enough of both nearer home

KossUTH AND LOUIS NAPOLEON. The
N. Y. Times of the 18th, has report
from quarter entitled to respect. that
Napoleon recently q invited Kossuth to a
secret conference at Paris for the pur-
pose of asccrtaining; definitely from him
the extent Of the military force he could
bring into the field, in case of Hungary
should have another opportunity of CON.
teading for her Independence. and-that
Kossuth actually spent two or three days
in Paris, in close consultation With the
Emperor, upon this subject. Tis was at
the time ofhis disappearance from London,
reported in the Newspapers and search
said to have been made for him by the
Paris police, was intended to attract pub.
lice attention. We have good reason for
believing that SO long ago as in May last
Louis Napoleon caused an intimation to
be made TO Kossuth, that the time might
arrive before long, at which he would be
glad toconfer with him on the Affairs Of
Eastern Europe"

Cure for Stammrriny.

About twenty tive years ago. an lndl-
vduaI, who proIesScd to cure that trou-
blesome impeachment in the speech, known
as stammcring, gave lessons in his art in
the most of our large cities. Many who
received his instructions and followed
them rigidly, were enabled to speak
without Obstruction. But in most eases,
the cure was only temporary. In very
snort time the annoying habit returned.
The philosophy Of the cure was very
simple. Stammcring is occasioned by the
effort to speak while inhaling and ut
teraDce is only obtained when the lungs
become full of air, and the process of
breathing out begins. The lesson given
was, never to attempt to speak until after
taking breath So long as the individual
could think of this law, and carefully
apply it, no impeachment would occur !;
but habit of years was not to be overcome
by few days, or even weeks, of perse-
verauce, and, in most cases, the stammer
er returned to the old order Of things.
Our thought has been turned to this
subject, by seeing the annexed statement
of a. fact in the newspapers
" Mr.. Wake field, at an inquest held
lately in England, states that few days
before, the summoning officer told him
it would be useless to call as witness, a
lad, because he suffered so excessively
that he could hardly articulate the short
est sentancc in haitian hour. Mr.. Wake-
field, however, had him called, Mr.. w axe
field telling him that as a shot could not
,be discharged from Il gun without pow
der, SO words could not come from the
mouth, unless the lungs had their powder,
viz air. He told the lad to inhaIe, or
draw his breath strongly ; and the boy
haviug done SO, Mr. Wakefield asked him
" Can you talk now ?'
q" The boy, to the surprise Of the jury,
answered Immediately and gIibly;
" Yes, sir, | can, we'll"
" The coroner added that inhalation, or
self-inllalion Of the lungs with air, was Il
sure remedy for stammering, aud though
it had been discovered long ago. the fac
uIty had not until lately, and then only
a few Of them, caused it to be practised
as a remedy for detective articulation"
1t is known that stammererscan sing with
out manifesling the slightest impcdimenl;
and the reason is plain-thc chest has to
be constantly supplied with air, like an
organ, in order to produce the desired mu-
SlCal SOunuS. w Z remember nCbIlu1 Il
man, who stammcred badly, called on to
pray in Methodist prayer meeting, and
were not IL little surprised to observe that
he made his eXtempore prayer without
once faltering in his utterance, The prayer
was somewhat fervid, and the petitioner
from his state of mind as we'll as his man.
ner of speaking, breathed out in all hi:
efforts to speak.
1t is unquestionably true, that STAN.
mering may be prevented by carefully
observing the directions above giveu.--
That the cure does not remain is not, VIC
think, so much defect in the means, as
failure on the part Of the Individual tc
use them long enough. The habit o
years is not to be overcome in Il week 0,
month. There must be perseverance
and for many months-perhaps years

NEWSPAPER CREDIT SYsTEM.-The fol-
lowing remarks in relation to the newspa-
er credit system, which we clip from one
of our exchanges, exposes the loss which
newspaper publishers are subject to, who
send out their papers on credit, and will
give our readers some idea of our troubles
READ IT:
"Wlth publishers of Newspapers, in
common with business men generally,
the cash system is preferable to any 9th
er to publishers who rely upon their
support, for the prosecution Of their bust
ness, they must necessarily be the loser.
There are thousands of well-meaning men
who subscribe for them, but the idea of
writing a letter to an editor enclosing two
three or five dollars, never enters their
heads though is called upon for the
amount due, would probably be prepared
to meet the demand. But the publisher
OF nearly every country paper knows it
would be out Of the profits Of his patrons
of his subscription SO many of his pa
irons continue year after year taking The
paper without advancing one cent while
he is paying cash for his printing mate

necessary 10 carry on the business. Here
then is loss not attribute to any design
on the part Of the subscribers to deFraud,

OF those same bread pills, of being perfectly harmless
