Thc juay oT the Dirt.
BT JOHN BKOCOUAE.
With gaiters of exquisito ton
And garments excpe?ngly neat,
Auured hy the treacherous ann.
A lady stepped into the street.
Tramp," tramp, tramp,
She daintily held up her skirt,
But tho mud it was over the instep and
vamp, '
As she sang tho song of the dirt.
Tho sewers and gutters aro closed,
The omnibus lumbers along,
Thc sweepers are plying their brooms,
And tho lady contantes her song;
With very commendable pride,
She tries to look dainty and pert,
But she vahdy endeavors her temper to
hide *
As she ships the song of thc dirt.
Mud, mini, mud,
For nothing hut mud was around!
Mud, mud, mud,
You could scarcely fathom or sound.
Mud from each omnibus wheel
Across thc pavement would spirt,
And savage the lady begun to feel,
As she sang the song of the dirt.
With gaiters all tattered and torn,
And petticoats not over neat,
With dress ah spattered and worn,
The lady stepped out of tho street.
Ill, uncommonly ill,
While with speech remarkably curt,
Her husband thought of the niillinur'a bill,
And finished the song of tho dirt.
Early History of Printing.
The first attempt at printing in
England was made about tho close of
the fourteenth century, by -which
playing cards were produced from en?
graved wooden blocks. Soon after
tliis, block books were printed on the
continent, the earliest of which bears
date 1423. About the same time ap?
peared the Biblia Panperum, or Book
of the Poor, pri ed in block between
1420 and 1430. Albert Durer engraved
his own masterly designs, and printed
them in this way. As yet, however,
the art of printing was not-as move?
able types, the adoption of which at
once gave vitality to the process, had
not been +honght of. In 1436, John
Gutenburg, a lapidary and a native of
Mentz, then residing at Strasburg,
having conceived tire idea of printing
with moveable types, took into part?
nership, with a view to carry out bis
scheme, Andrew Drizehn, John iiiff
and Anthony Hielmann. Their agree?
ment was for five- years, but they
quarrelled in 1439, and went to law to
settle their diff?rences. From the
examination of witnesses on that trial,
it was incont istibly proved that Gu?
tenburg was the author of the new
invention. Having got rid of his late
partners, Gutenburg, in 1450, asso?
ciated ldmself with john Faust, who
advanced capital for the prosecution
of the enterprise. Faust brought his
servant, F?tor Schofier, into the con?
cern, and Scho'tier it was Avho invent?
ed punches of engraved steel, by
which the matrixes were struck from
which the types were cast. The -first
work that issued from their press was
a Latin Bible, now known as the
Mazarin Bible, from a copy having
been found in Qardinal Mazarin's li?
brary. Faust managed to oust Gutcn
burg from tho partnership in 1455,
and subsequently carried on the busi?
ness with Schofier; their first printed
work was a Psalter, which appeared in
1457. Faust is supposed to have died
of the plague in 1406. After bis
death, Schofier hud tin; meanness to
arrogate to his family tin: entire in?
vention of thc art of printing-and
succeeded so far as to obtain from thc-.
Emperor Maximilian some lucrative
privileges authenticating his preten
sions. By this act of thc Emperor,
Gutenbmg was robbed of his deserved
reputation-his discoveries being at?
tributed to his rival, and he regarded
as a pretender. He. was dead, how?
ever, before Schaeffer dared to advance
his claim. Upon quitting his partners,
he hi>4 established a printing press at
Mentz, under the patronage of Dr.
Conrad Humbracht, who advanced the
necessary f und3. In 1460, he printed
the great Latin dictionary, "Catho
licon Johannis de Balbis," and, in the
same yeal-, the "Constitutions of Cle?
ment V. ' ' A Bibi e which appeared in
1460-2 is also ascribed to him. In
1465, he was attached to the Count of
Adolphus, Count of Nassau; and is
supposed to have died in 146H.
The Dutch havo ^disputed with the
Germans for the honor of the inven
. tion of printing, claiming it in behalf
of Laurence Coster, a citizen of Har?
lem. Their claim will not, however,
bear investigation, and vanishes be?
neath the scrutiny to which it has
been subjected by rigid inquirers.
lt was not to lie expected that such
an art ns, that of printing co\ild long
be engrossed by a few professors.
Attempts were made to bind the
workmen employed by oath s not to
divulgo tho secret-attempt* which
may have led to false swearing, but
ava?ed as much to spread as to con?
nue tho prnerieo of the art. No soonei
was it found that printing was a lucra?
tive employment, thaa presses sprung
tip in -various cities in Germany; and
between 1461 and 1470, four-and
twenty different works appeared. In
the latter year, two of Faust's work?
men commenced in Paris, whither < j
they were followed by "others. Presses
were soon after set np in Florence? and
in Venice, and the Italian printers
displayed such industry, that between
the years 1741 aud 1480, according to
Panzer, upwards of twelve hundred
volumes were printed by them, above
two hundred of" which were editions
of ancient authors. The first book
printed in Spain was executed in Va?
lencia in 1474, whenco the art soon
sprca? to Barcelona, Saragossa, Se?
ville and Salamanca. lu the low
countries, thc progress was yet more
rapid, and in the course of one gene?
ration there was hardly a town of any
importance but possessed its printing
office, and books begun everywhere to
be multiplied with astonishing rapidi?
ty. In France, the . women were
among the first who excelled as print?
ers. Charlotte Guillard, who com?
menced in 1490, and kept several
presses at work for fifty years, printed
a large number of very correct editions
both in Lutin und Greek. She was
patronized by thc learned Lewis Lip
peman, Bishop of Verona, who gave
h??r his principal works to print.
William Caxton, who was born in
1412, first introduced tho art into
Engfetnd. He visited tho Low Coun?
tries in 1442, and continued abroad for
thirty years, during which he mastered
the printing art. While at Cologne, he
translated his "Recueil de l'Histoire de
Troue, " and published it . He returned
to England soon after, bringing with
him the necessary apparatus for print?
ing, and settled at Westminster, under
the patronago of the abbot. H<?e, in
1474, he produced thc first specimen
of English typography, "The Game
of Chess." This was followed, in
1477, by his edition of "Dictes and
Sayings," translated from the Latin
by the unfortunate Lord Hivers. Cax?
ton pursued his craft for ten years,
printing in all sixty-four different
works. Ile is supposed to have died
in 1491. Cotempprary with Caxton ]
was John Letton, who was afterwards
joined by William Machlinia; they are
said to be the first law-printers in
England. Caxton was succeeded by
Wynken de W?rde, who printed, be?
tween the years 1491 and 1534, above 1
four hundred works. Richard Pyson,
who first took the title of king's print?
er, produced, between 149:$ and 1531,
two hundred and ten works. Julian
Notary, between 1499 and 1515, print?
ed twenty-three.
In 1480, a press was set np at St.
Alban's. Between that date and 1485,
the art was introduced at Oxford by
Theodore Rood, in partnership with
John Hunt. In 1507, Janies JV.
granted a patent for printing to Wal?
ter Chapman, of Edinburgh. In 1509,
presses were at work both in Aberdeen
and in York. John Sibcrt first carried
the art to Cambridge, ami printed
there, in 1521-2, works in Latin,
Greek and English. The printing
press found its way into Wales as ?'arly
at least as 15H7, aud it may bi' reason?
ably supposed that by this time it had
established itself throughout the coun?
try wherever thor': Vas a demand for
its services. n
It is remarkable that the art of print?
ing seems to have suffered declension
soon after its discovery. Tho type of
thc first works printed, that ?d' the
Mazarin Bible, for instance, was supe?
rior to much that was manufactured
ata Inter dat?1; and the oldest ,speci?
mens of Creek printing are creditably
done, while sonic at a later period are
so deformed as to be nearly illegible.
The first volume entirely of Greek was
Laseari's Grammar,' by Denis de Pa
raiveino and Dominie de Vespolate,
the type of which is elegant. The
Milanese, by the excellence of their
Greek printing, aroused the jealousy
of the Venetians, who sought to rival
them; and in course of time, Greek
works were produced in various parts
of the continent, as well as in Eng?
land, whose productions in that cha?
racter are excelled by none. Work's
in Hebrew began to appear about
1476. Since then the type-founders
of Britain, France and Germany have
added to their founts the characters
of every known language-a single
printing office in Paris ?being able to
produce on one occasion three hun?
dred copies of the Lord's Prayer in as
many different tongues.
Tho shock of an earthquake was felt
at Memphis, Thursday morning, shak
; ing buildings, tuinbliug down chim?
neys, upsetting loose articles, and an
? iron safe establishment was thrown
, over. The shock, which lasted ten
seconds, was even more plainly felt at
. Holly Springs, Miss., and at La
. grange, Temi.
