Printing Office Secrets.

A properly conducted printing office,
as an exchange remarks, is as much a
secret as Masonic lodge. The print
ers are not under any oath of secrecy,
but always feel themselves as truly
bound to keep Office secrets as though
bound by triple oaths.' Any employe
in printing Office who willingly disre-
CARDS this rule in relation to printing
Office secrets would not only be scorned
by his brethren of the craft, but would
lose his position. We make this state
ment because it sometimes happens that
communication appears in newspa-
per under an assumed signature which
excites comments, and various parties
try to find out who is the author. Let
all be saved the trouble of questioning
employees of the printing office. They
are know-nothings on such points as
these. On such matters they have no
eyes, no ears, no mouth, and if anyone
fails to observe this rule let them be put
down as dishonored members of the
craft. 1t is the same with job printing.
If anything is to be printed and kept
secret let proper notice be given for the
desire Of secrecy, and you might as well
question the "Sphynx" as one of the
printers, so that even the secret books
are printed without fear.

Two men, known as the Austin
Brothers, have been giving exhibitions
of skill in rifle-shooting in Baltimore.
One of their feats is as follows: One
performer takes up his position at the
stage, with potato on his head; the
other goes to the opposite end of the
stage, turns his back to his brother,
holds looking glass in one hand, and
with the other aims his rifle over his
shoulder and fires, the ball splitting the
potato in two.

William Tilden Pelton, the young
hopeful of Gramercy Park, and whose
only Importance is derived from being
"the nephew of his uncle" commenced
his career in Chicago. He was engaged
in commercial transactions there, his
place of business being on the North
Pier, and he made money, as is evident
from the fact that he commenced busi-
ness without cent, and retired at the
end of year or two several thousand
dollars in debt, which still remains un-
paid. Of course those several thousand
dollars were clear profit.

banquet. General Smith visited the
Ransom Guards. Co. d. LIST regiment

happy hour with his old st. Adams
friends, and kin Of that fine company
About sunset, under the escort OF Col.
Veazy of Rutland, and Col. Tracy Of
Middlebury, General Smith visited the
camp of the Vermont veterans, whore
he had most enthusiastic and affect
ing reception from his old officers and
men Of the Cd division, 9th corps, this
being the first visit to the Vermont
soldiers that General Smith has been
able to make since the war.
Col. Weary introduced him 10 neat,
manly little speech, TO which General
Smith responded very happily, saying.
in substance, that while the men OF
Bennington, under Stark, were doubt
less very gallant fellows, he had seen
the men of old Vermont, In their So
called degenerate days, make as dash.
ing an assault on entertainments, and
as desperate aud bitter fight, when
themselves attacked by superior mum
bers, as any of Stark's boys could have
made. General Smith explained that
it had long been the ardent desire Of
his soul to meet the men of his old
command as he now met them, but
that he had been unavoidably absent
until the present hour, and that he emily
now came at considerable sacrifice Of
his business convenience, to say, from
the bottom OF his heart, to his old
boys--Hail and Farewell lin almost
the same breath. This admirable
speech from General Smith was re-
ceived with perfect storm of cheers,
and General Staunard. Col. Tracy aud
Col. Weary then introduced large
numbers of the rank and file to General
Smith, and after a royal good time,
lasting an hour, General Smith said
good bye" and retired to spend the
night at the quarters of Capt Newton,
of the Ransom Guards. He returned
to his pressing duties as one Of the
Police Commissioners of New York
