To have clear impression of the extent and ca
pacity Of this important establishment, it is alto
gether necessary to walk over it, and examine Its
various departments and its internal arrangements
The engraving at the head of this article conveys
good idea OF its external appearance, but although
this is attractive, it only to do justice to the
outside-the material of the building to the neglect
of the better part-the mechanical skill-the enter

In the first place, let observe that, as seen in

are received, directed and made up, to be forwarded
to all the points of the compass The section
is the paper room. Here is always stored supply
of paper large in proportion to the vast consumption
of the journal, and here is prepared for the press


Below this room is subterranean apartment oc-

the mail and press similar but larger space
on the same level is used as an emporium for fuel
for the whole establishment In addition to all this
under ground room, there is space about five feet
wide excavated from the street which parallel
to the whole length of the building, from front to
