ATRAMP PRINTER.


Last night l was in Cincinnati. As a
rule steer clear Of the large cities, be-
cause over work and exposure have made
me little sbaky-like, and l can't sling
type metal as l once could. Daily papers
want lightning cOmpOsitOrs, kind Of human
type-setting machine, as it we've; men as
can tackle all sorts Of manuscript, from
the chain-lightning copy Of the managing
editor down to the ungrammatical muss Of
the book reviewer. They require men
whose minds are active, whose inventive
faculties are vigorous, and whose sight is
dOuble-edged. In short, a man as can't
make order out Of ehOas has no business
on daily paper. Too much outdoor ex.
ercise has barred me from the society Of
this class of printers"
The speaker was a human wreck, and
would have been taken for a Thoroughbred
tramp at a mile range. His disreputable
attire, his struggling, tobacco stained beard
and general characteristics could Lot be
mistaken. His eyes were watery, his
hands shook nervOusly, and bis toes pro
Iruded from his bouts. He sat in a dOur-
way, and bad an apPreciatiVe audience
but they were mostly flies.

TIE Washington correspondent of
che Ne1g York Herald understands that
the Secretaryship of the Interior has
been rendered to one J. Russell Jones.
As this unknown individual may be
sprung on the country any day by his
friend Grant, we must explain that
Jones represents United States diplo-
macy at Brussels in some capacity, but
is just now off duty at Long Branch
hObnobbing with the Great American
Absentee. The two are known to be
on terms of the closest intimacy and
friendship. The President has taken
occasion to speak Of Mr.. Jones IN tne
very highest terms. He said he knew
no man in the diplomatic service who
was more capable of transacting an
important negotiation than Mr.
Jones; that In such mat.
ter as the alabama claims. for
instance, he would rather trust the in.
terest O. the country to the Judgment
of Mr.. Jones than any Minister abroad;
tnat this was not a hasty impression
but the result Of a long and close init.
macy; that he had perfect confidence
In the integrity of Mr.. Jones; that he
was a man Of rare business capacity, Of
close attention to details. His charc-
ter, " said the President, SIS misunder-
stood because the appointment has
been attributed to my personal desire
TO serve an old friend. On the con-
trary, 1 regard Mr.. Jones politically as
1 regarded Gen. Rawlins-in the army,
and l have as much confidence IN his
ability and integrity as have in any
man that now lives" It remains for
DelanO to get out of the way of this
miraculous Jones.
