PRINTING OFFICE LoAFERs. fol-
lowing is sensible to the last and deserves
a wide circulation
"a printing office is like a school--it
can have no interlopers, hangers on, twad-
dlers, without serious Inconvenience, to
say nothing of a loss of time which is just
as much gold to a printer as though it
metallically glittered in his hand. What
would he have thought Of man who
would enter school and twaddle first
with the notwithstanding the stu
dies of one, and breaking the discipline Of
the other? And yet this is the effect of
loafer in printing Office. He seriously
interferes with the course of business, dis
tracts the fixed attention which is neces-
sary to the good printer and the interest
of every establishment. No real man
ever sacrifices the interest or interferes
with the duties of others. The loafer
does both Let him think, if thought he
ever has, that the last place he should
ever insinuate his worthless and unwel-
come presence into, is the printing Of

A LESSON FOR YoUTH.-The Hon.
John H. Reagan, who was recently cleo
ted a representative to Congress from
Texas, went to that State IS years ago, a
poor, friendless stranger, wearing buck
skin breeches and a hickory shirt, He ed
ucated himself laboring Saturdays, at
highland the hours usually devoted to
rest were spent in toll to pay for his
schooling and the purchase of books. He
split rails, drove oxen, toiled in farm fields,
surveyed in wild, unsettled country, I'M
til he became Injured to hardships. Strict
integrity and honesty marked his course
and met its reward. He gradually rose
from one position to another: was admit
ted to the bar; was selected from his coun-
ty as the ablest man to represent it in
the Legislature; was subsequently made
judge of a superior court, to which posi-
ton he was elected for a second term; and
now he has been elected by the people Of
Eastern Texas representative of the Con-
gress Of the U. and is spoken of as hav-
ing fair prospects before the Legislature
for United States Senator.

Ng~ Listen, We Dyspeptics.-GO
and do Likewise. Permanent Cure

The Rev. James Hunnicutt, proprietor and
editor of that excellent paper, the Christian
Banner, published at Fredericksburg, Va,
in his editorial of June 5th, 1857, thus speaks
of his cure:
HAMPTON'S VEGETABLE TINCTURE.
1t will remembered by many ofour readers,
that several years ago we stated in the edi-
torial columns of the Christian Banner, that
HAMproN's VEGETABLE TINorURE had effected
a cure for Dyspepsia in our own case-that
we had labored long with this terrible dis
ease. and suffered most awfully, the pain and
melancholy which necessarily accompanies
this horrible enemy of man and mans hap
piness. For long time we lived in constant
fear that the fell monster would return.--
But. thank God, and thanks to Hampton's
Tincture, the gloomy demon has not yet re-
turned, and we begin to thinK ne never VIII.
Wenow feel confident in saying that Hamp-
toms Vegetable Tincture has made a radical
cure ofDyspepsia in our own case. We have
not taken a drop of it for the last two years,
TO the best of our recollection. We eat what
we please, and as much as we please and chew
tobacco to our hearts content, and all is well.
We believe that twelve bottles, judiciously
taken. will cure nine cases out OF every ten Of
dvspeptics. We conscientiously recommend
it to all dyspeptics. The spring time and
summer it is most recommended, therefore,
as philanthropist, we call attention to it

A MEMENTo OF WAsHINGToN.- An
attache of the Museum in Baltimore,
searching, few days since, among some
rubbish which had collected in an unfre-
quented part of that establishment, came
across a curious memento of Washington
in the shape of a miniature brass gun-car-
riage, about twelve inches long and four
in heighth, bearing upon one side the in
scription-" Presented to Lieutenant Gen
eral Washington, Commander-in-Chief of
the Armies of the United States of Ame-
RIGA, as testimony of the esteem and
respect of his affectionate friend, Edward
Rutledge 1799," and ON the other, " Mod
ell of the Guns and Carriages at Cher
bourg." The carriage is constructed to
work backwards and forwards, in being
run in and out of an embrasure, on two
parallel groove slides, which are moved
circularly by wheels placed at either end.
Upon one of the slides is engraved the
makers Names "McLiesh & Moss,

ThugisIn.

Rowdyism It altogether too mild a
word to apply to the truculent violence
and incipient anarchy for some time pre-
valent, and SO rapidly and terrible increa-
sing, in the large cities of this country
We do not here refer to the recent "hun-
ger demonstrations" in New York and
Philadelphia; for the obstreporousness and
tumult that attended those gathering were
not their essence and aninaats, but only the
incidents which inevitably attend large
and excited crowds of men, Indeed, the
sole wonder to us is that they passed off
so peaceably, and with so slight menace
to law and order. Inhammable as were
the materials of which they were made
up, agitated as these people were by the
most direful apprehensions-the whole
appalling terror Of the panic augmented
by the immediate and goading dread of
starvation for themselves and families
it seems passing strange that no serious
outbreak should have taken place, and
that the whole affair blew over so harm
lessly. The very fact that these working
mems meetings were not productive Of so
much rioting and disturbance as is
usually occasioned by fremen's pro-
cessions, military parades, and large DEM
ocratic assemblages in the Park and about
Tammany Hall, but strengthens Our con-
viction that deeds of rowdyism are, for the
most part, perpetrated out of simple wan
tonness. Assaults upon unoffending pas
sengers in the streets of the great cities,
deliberate and cold-blooded murders even,
have been committed, within but recent
period, for which no rational motive can
be assigned. Quiet persons, who did not
know they had an enemy in the world,
have been struck down under covert of
nightfall, while, in some cases, the assas-
sin has not tarried even for this protec-
ton. Mere recklessness and cruelty-a
misanthropy not moping and solitary but
active and blood thirsty-is the only as
signable proximate cause of these outra-
ges. When man is killed for the mo-
ney upon his person, or in the wreaking
of revenge for some wrong, zeal or ina
gined, we can conceive the presence OF a
motive in the mind ofthe scoundrel which
was adequate to induce him to the COM
mission of the act. Williams now, how
ever, kill men as sportsmen would shoot
birds or squirrels-just for the fun of the
thing. There are minds so perversely Or
ganized that they find a positive pleasure

a e murder as an amateur dabbles IN line

art. Other minds, not specially demoniac
in their structure, are yet exceedingly
susceptible to the contagion of the ruffian-
ism which surrounds them. and only a.
wait certain conditions to commit the
most shocking crimes.
There is more truth in the notion of
"moral insanity" than is generally con-
fessed. The reckless incendiarism, for
example, which not only infests large
towns but appears occasionally in nearly
every village in the country, does not
spring from an interested motive but from
a loose and morbid disregard of the rights
of property, which can be attributed only
to 'mind diseased" Some wise doctors
have said, indeed, that the propensity of
certain persons for getting up conhagra-
tons is kind of disease, which, with
equal science and euphony, they term
pyronaaalia. Of the same abnormal
stamp, probably, are the dirkings, shoot
ings, slung-shottings, knock-downs and
riotings we hear of every day, and which
make material for the spicy items of the
reporters. Violent diseases, it is said, de-
mand violent remedies, and our sympathy
for these poor fellows moves us to sug-
gest that they should, for their own good
and particularly that Of their neighbors,
he put under severe treatment until they
are thoroughly cured. 1t is no mercy to
them to be suffered to run at large. Fur
thermore we are of opinion that the pres
ent penal prescriptions for their cases, laid
down in the books, should be intensified.
We are hardly ready to hint at anything
like revival of the Draconian lee talionis,
for our Constitutions and Bills of Rights
prohibit the inaiction of sanguinary pun
ishments; but we do say that the Legislators
and the courts should go to the very outer
verge of stringency for the suppression of
crime. 1t is time that the gruel-and-herb-
tea treatment of rascals should give place
to something more efficacious.
