COMPLIMENT TO "JoUR PRiNTERs."--John
c. Rives, 10 recently published letter, on the
subject Of public printing, has word of sug-
gestion to writers for the press and Of COM
pliment to the "Jour," whose duty il not un-
frequently is to make sense out of every
sepseless chirography. None but writer for
the daily press can comprehend how much
truth there is in the veteran printers remarks.
Many members Of Congress, and exc not a
few greater men, have been surprised at the
respectable figure they cut in print, without
thinking Of the toilsome labor and the exer.
else of better talent than their own, which had
been expended by the "Jour" printer In lick
ing into shape the message, report or speech
furnished by them. Mr.. Rives says:
| have seen the manuscript writing Of most
great men Of the country during the pnst 20
years, and l think ! may say that no twenty
of them could stand the test of the scrutiny
of one half Of the journeymen printers EN-.
poyed in my office.
This fact will be vouchcd by every editor
in the Union. To the poor "jour" many n

resolve, by concert, to set up manuscript in
their hand, for even one little week, precisely
as 1t is written by the authors, there would
be more regulations slaughtered than theii
devils could shake stick at in twenty foul
hours. Statesmen would become "small by
degrees and beautifully less" Many an ass
would have the lions hide torn from hi,
limbs. Men, whom the world called writer
would wake up Of morning and find them
selves-famous as mere pretenders--hum

BRITISH PULPIT ELoouScE.-The London
Times expresses its opinion very plainly in
regard to the present character of English
preaching. Essays: ave would leave it TO
the decision of any one Of ordinary candor,
intelligence, and education to say whether
men, in any other profession, could carry or
their business with success if they took no
more pains about the matter than an ordina-
ry preacher does in the composition and de-
livery of an average sermon. The truth is,
that in England pulpit eloquence has fallen
to very low ebb indeed. With abe finest
theme in the world before them, with al the
hopes and anxieties which agitate the human
breast during the brief interval which sepa-
rates the cradle from the grave, MS their SUBJ
jects, our preachers miss their opportunity.
