Printing once as q school.

correspondent of the Louisville Journal, in
the course of series of interesting "reminiscences
of and old connection with that celebrated
establishment, says:
For young man who is not altogether fool,
who has had the advantage of ordinary
education, the printing Office is undoubtedly a
capital school for intellectual advancement. In
regard to general knowledge, no class of men
who labor for living, can approach the printer.
The students among them, if their natural gifts
be not below the level of medocrity, have equal
chances with the members of the so-called pro-
fessions, to acquire both worldly honors and
literary fame From the days of Saxon to those
Of Franklin, and from his day to our own, the
craft has prodused eminent men in every profess
sion and iE every walk in life. A good printer
is generally good critic, not only of language
and punctuation, but of the intrinsic literary
merits of whatever comes under his hand. 1t is
impossible that he should be otherwise, since so
great part of his life is made up as it were, of
facts that inforce reflection. The labor that
employs his hands gives to his mind neither
exercise nor care. His fingers move intuitively
to the exact points requisite for the proper ap-
pOrtionment of his work, while his mind seizes
the idea sought to be conveyed by the writer,
with whom he is engaged, and is only expelled
therefrom after his judgement has passed
sentence on its merits. Many one, without
knowing it, possibly owes to some unknown COM
positor or proof-reader much more of reputation
as a writer than he would be willing to ac-
knowledge. If, by changing the reading of a
sentence without affecting its meaning be
give to it strength or something, good printer
asks no questions about the matter but changes
it at once. And SO, if the grammar of sentence
is evidently faulty, he would be considered unfit
for the business, did he not rectify it in this
particular. have known some printers, it is
true, who could never learn the planest rules of
either composition or punctuation. To such
one might be used the identical words used by
well-known Presbyterian, speaking to young,
but particularly silly candidate, for ministerial
orders; "Young man, you have made mis-
take you have been called to another feld-the
cornfield."

AN English journal relates an anecdote about
the sailors of a man-of-war, which shows that,
even if the sohoolmaster be aboard, he has not
yet gone to sea. The tars in question, seeing
comet, sent deputation to the captain to ask
what it was. He promised to tell them, but
first insisted that they should give him their
views of the phenomenon. The spokesman an

Even the Democratic party in its fossilized. ret
rogressive state, has been and is performing an
important part in the progress of the age. But
ior that party's hatred and oppression of the
negro slaves, freedom would not have been es-
taoiisned throughout the land. The sunder

Lne weak, whether of nations or individuals, or
..asses, VINO are imposed upon or spat upon or
trampled upon by the strong, will in time raise
up to themselves defenders in every quarter. It
part OF humanity-its holiest and best part
that causes man in every nation and under
whatever CLINE to lend his sympathies to the
weak and the helpless; and in time, if the
wrong De carried too far, to lend them the sue
cor OF his strong arm. This is why mankind
sympathized with Poland in her struggle with
the Russians, why mankind sympathized with
Ireland in her contest with England, why Lafay-
cite came over from his peaceful home in France
to help the struggling colonies of America
against the arms of George the Third, why men
will not stand quietly by and see dog or horse or
child or cripple or woman abused-and it is a
principle Of our common humanity that ought
to be priced and cherished. It is the best, the
holiest part of our nature. This freed the slaves
of the South, this erected the Freedmen's bu-
reau, this placed the ballot in the hands of the
negro that he might protect himself, and this
will in time redeem, regenerate and disenthrall
the world. So long man is man, this princi-
pie of humanity will assert its supremacy, and
the more cause there is for its activity the more
active will it be.
The Southerners who abused their power
over the slaves, and who fought to make chattel
slavery perpetual the best friends that
slavery ever had, inasmuch as they aroused and
kept continually at work this humane principle
in others. And so it may be said that those in
California who most abuse and ploclaim loudest
against the Chinese are their best friends, for
opposition begets opposition as love begets love
or hate hate, and in the end our better nature
will triumph. Thus we see that the California
Democracy by their noisy opposition to the Chi
nese, which opposition is for political reasons
only, are creating friends for them all over the
nation, and thus paving the way to greater rights
and privileges than otherwise they might ever
obtain. Sumner says that this Is the question
now to be met-and the California Democracy
have made it the question. But for them we
would not have heard word about it-but for
them few out of the State would have known
that we had Chinese In it-and if they go on as
they have begun they may work out their en-
franchisement as they have worked out the en-
franchisement of the negroes. To build up re-
ligion, persecute 1t. To elevate a politician
persecute him. And to persecute a class will in
time too, elevate it. This is history, experience,
fact which the retrogressive Democracy of CAL
ifornia may not have learned yet.-Sae Bee

weeds Is to always put your cigar-case and its
contents at the service of your friends. Jones
says that the most effective means he ever tried

was in half mourning, and second kindly
