A Just Com pliment.

We republish from the Memphis BulIajn,
with much qualification. the following re-
marks touching the late Mr.. HITcHLER We
formed an acquaintance with the deceased in
ls47, at Cincinnati, and soon lcarned to re-
spect him for his many manly traits Of
character, and his devotion to the art of
printing. With our friends of the Bulletin
we deeply lament his early deceased:
The LATE JONI HTCHLER- day at 10
O'Clock will be conveyed to their final resting
place the mortal remains of one who was
identified with the Bulletin Company from
the first hours of its existence. We feel that
the occasion will justify us to our readers in
claiming indulgence for more ofthe obtruSion
of personal regard and private grief than ""
are wont to admit into our columns. 1t is an
act of justice to departed moral worth and
eminent professional skill.
Mr.. HTTCuLER was IA German hv birth but
came to this country when n small boy. He
served his apprenticeship To the printing
business in Cincinnati, and attain, d cminence

of the poet aud the painter who seeks to at

it a profession. and he was never happier
than when working out some ncw combina-
ton, productive of unique and tasteful effects.
He was not only IA superior work man himself
but possessed the faculty Of importing that
knowledge aud taste In type-cratt TO others
as was abundantly evidenced by the Bulletin
New Years Address. the haudiwork of three
of his pupils who are still attaches of our
