Towards 1836, Proudhon left the house of Gauthier, and, in company with an associate, established a small printing-office in Besancon. His contribution to the partnership consisted, not so much in capital, as in his knowledge of the trade.
He was unsuccessful, but the aggrieved individual did not forgive him. When our army entered Warsaw this reporter held a position on the staff of the general commanding. Not finding his old adversary, he contented himself with taking possession of the printing-office, and "confiscating" whatever was needed for the use of head-quarters.
Jupenet drew from his pocket seven or eight other pieces of brass smaller than the first. "Ah, ah," said D'Artagnan. "What!" "You have, then, a whole printing-office in your pocket. Peste! that is curious, indeed." "Is it not?" "Good God, what a number of things we learn by traveling." "To your health!" said Jupenet, quite enchanted. "To yours, mordioux, to yours. But an instant not in this cider.
In the course of the next month, the printing-office was burnt, and the printers, totally discouraged, abandoned the enterprise. The editor who felt that he had caught the public ear, as he had contrived, by desperate exertions, to "rake the Herald out of the fire," as he said, and went on alone. Four months after, the great fire laid Wall Street low, and all the great business streets adjacent.
He had just completed his letter, when his partner entered the reading-room of the hotel with a brisk step. "Mr. de Gray," he said, "I have made all necessary arrangements. I have hired the hall for to-morrow evening five dollars ordered some tickets and posters at the printing-office, and secured a first-class notice in to-morrow morning's paper.
So it was in the case under review. The attempt to suppress the Advocate was the means of re-establishing it on a fairly satisfactory financial basis, and of extending its life for about seven years. The indignity to which the printing-office had been subjected, and the trial resulting therefrom, had furnished the best advertisements that could possibly have been desired.
This salary was increased by the proprietors giving him a small share in the small profits of the printing-office; so that, after fourteen years of hard labor and Scotch economy, he found himself, on leaving the great paper, a capitalist to the extent of a few hundred dollars. The chief editor of the paper which he now abandoned sometimes lost as much in a single evening at the card-table.
The other was the escapade of a number of young people in York, of respectable standing, who had committed a gross breach of the peace in breaking into and ransacking the printing-office of Wm. Lyon Mackenzie, smashing the presses of that martyr to Reform, and throwing into the lake the type which had been used in setting up some pungent articles against the Government.
There I found my brothers Lampson and Hoyt employed in the "Gazette" printing-office, and spent much time with them and Charles Anderson, Esq., visiting his brother Larz, Mr. Longworth, some of his artist friends, and especially Miss Sallie Carneal, then quite a belle, and noted for her fine voice, On the 20th I took passage on the steamboat Manhattan for St. Louis; reached Louisville, where Dr.
The Report was made in 1839 by Major Sleeman, of the Indian Service, and was printed in Calcutta in 1840. It is a clumsy, great, fat, poor sample of the printer's art, but good enough for a government printing-office in that old day and in that remote region, perhaps.
