S. P. Andrews has opened a Phonographic institute in Boston. The new 'Science,' as itis called, seems to attract considerable attenlion among the Yankees. It appears, Trom the descriplion, to be a kind of universal language, like the notation of sounds in mu8Íc. It has become considerably known in England. The M anchesier Guardian says: j "This art seems now indispensable to every candidate for a commercíal sitüation, as npwards of seven hundred firms, in this BabyIon of spinning Jennies,? have rejected their old cumbrous method of long hand wri.ing, and makeentries, copy letters, &c, in Phonographic characiers, thereby saving five sixtl)8 of the time hitherto spcnt in ïnechanical routine." The Trader's Journal, the organ of English mechanics, in a long article ehowing its eubscribscribers the necessity of mental ïmprovement, stateötha "Printers, vvho cannot 'set' from Phonographic 'copy,' will experience great difficulty iobtninirg situations in Nevvspaper offices where such labor js best remuerated."
