The British Minister had a long interview with the
Secretary Of State.
IL Is not true as stated. that number OF the new
consuls have resigned. one OF them who offered
his resignation recalled II to-day. The commissions
OF all OF them, with perhaps two exceptions, have
been delivered.

conclusion that the best way to accomplish this pur-
pose to attack the heads of departments in detail

most women. She became irate, abused the good
naturcd Chief Clerk, and threatened to come back
again and see the Secretary, whether he busy or
not. The plucky Walker ann nounces her intention Of

3 If Subscribers order the discon tinuance
Of their papers, the publisher may continue to
send it to them till all that is due is paid.
9. If subscribers neglect to take their pa
pers from the Office to which they are directed,
they are held responsible till they have settled
their bill and ordered their paper discontinued.

out informing the publisher, ard the paper is
sent to The former direction, they are held re.
sponsibe t..
5. Refusing to take paper from the office,
or removing and leaving it uncalled for, is
prima facie evidence of intentional fraud.

The Printing Office.

This is very good piece to work in as
many of the ablest and best men of our
country can testify, but iu no other place
lr the world is there 80 little demand for
loafers and idlcrs as in a printing Office ;
for printers work, above almost any other
requires his undivided attention, and if he
desires to do well idlers around him are a
great annoyance. And idlers are gener-
ally not satisfied unless they handle things
around them, or receive some attention
from others hence the poor printer is
often compelled to explain and show every
thing about the Office, even down to "type
lice.'
These remarks however have not refer
cnce to persons who ask to see the wonders
of the printing office, who look sharp
and touch nothing and talk nothing exa
cept to the proprietor or when they are
talked to. These are welcome for they
will never enter composing room without
asking, and they will strictly observe the
rules given them.
The press being acknowledged as one
of the most powerful clements of ciyiliza.
ton, 40 one should pass through life with
out seeing one, as we'll as the little bits OF
metal that have such power for veal or
woe and the manner in which they are so
uim5ly handled but let us leave you into
a little secret. All are aware that many
great men eshmenoed their career as
printers apprentices, but remember this
when sou enter composing room that if
you find there boy or young man who is
very communicative and ready to stop the
busy fingers to wait on you uusolictated, or
when you hear him sing, whistle or fie-
qnenty ask questions of the other boys
you may rest assured that the person be.
fore you will never be DR.. Franklin, q
