A few weeks ago, while staying at. At- autic City, I met atrayhotel a gray-hair- d old gentleman, whose conversation neatly inteaested me. He had evidently eun a great deal of the world, and was specially conversant with everything onnected with the banking business In a few days we became quite coinpan- ons, and Mr. James Archer (for that was lie name of my new friend) informed me bat ho had been engaged in the bank usiness all his life, having at different imes filled the various offices of cashier, «ller, and President. 1 should suppose," I observed, " that lie banking business offers fewer diama- ic episodes than any other profession.' " I don't agree with you there," return- d Mr. Archer. " Judging from my own xperience, I should say there are few oth- r professions which offer more dramatic :enes." " You have been an actor in some cenes of this character V" I asked. 'I have indeed. Let us sit down upon lis ]Kirch, and I will toll you what hap- enejd to me once out West." So saying, wo fixed ourselves comforta- ly, and Mr. Archer related to me the fol- ->\ving exciting episode of his life. * # * * * v ' * Some thirty vears ago I was cashier in bank, situateel in the city of Milwau- ee, inthe State of Wisconsin. Although large place now, Milwaukee was at the me I refer to a long* straggling town, with a very rough class of inhabitants. Like all places on the extreme verge of ivilization, the law was aliu.ost a dead e.tter. Jlojse thieves, robbers and mur- derers were there in such numbers that they struck terror in law abiding citizens, and no jury could be found to convict the most heinous offender. If it chanced to leak oui that any of the twolvo jurors wore in favor of bringing in a verdict of guilty, his or their lives were sure topay the forfeit of their sense,of justice. As a natural consequence of living in such a state of society, every man walked abroad with his life inhis hand, and, with- out a single exception, every ono went armed to the teeth. I have known men to be shot down like dogs for a -word, or even a look. There were hundreds of men who made it their business to try to pick quarrels with the better class, that they might get a chance of killing and robbing them. You will readily understand that car- rying on a bank under these circumstan- ces was a most arduous task. Every One of the vaults built for the specie and val- uables of the bank were of the most mas- sive character. In fact, so much was this the case, .that they became a kind of show place for strangers, and evt ry one who happened, to be detained inthe tity w; s sure to visit the vault of tho Citizens' Bank. Our President was a strong, powerful,, energetic man, who had more than one • proved his courage in a melee; consequent- ly the ruffians of the place kept him at a distance, and for two years after the bank was started «t> one offered to molest us. We had orders from him to shoot down the first man that showed tho slightest disposition to be aggressive. Mr. Bxa>atre,e, for such was our Presi- dent's name, was accustomed to mingle a great deal with the rougher portion of the community, thinking ty <"ia means ho might learn if there was any scheme on foot to attack the bank. Of course these inquiries were always made in dis- guise, and indeed, Mr. Braintree possess- ed the *rt of so altering his features that he could deceive even his own family and particular friends when assisted by the aid of dress. He had carried out his plan for about two years without anything occurring to prove its necessity or usefulness,, when one hot July morning he entered the bank an hour earlier than was usual with him. " Good morning, Mr. Archer," said he to me, as he took off his fine black coat and put on an easy fitting blouse. " Good morning, Mr. Braintree. You are early this morniwg." « Yes—J have .something to tell you, and I thought it better to lps.e no time. You must know, in the first plaoe, that I visited tho 'Throe Swans' last night.'" The "Three Swans" was one of the low- est taverns in the place, and the reudez- vqus £ar ail ,tko desperate characters in the town and neighborhood. There was scarcely a night passed that some one was not killed there. " You visited in disguise, I suppose," I remarked. " Certainly. I was disguised as a dro- ver, and had tho extreme pleasure of be- ing taken for a horse thief by all the scoundrels present." " That is a compliment to your success in disguising yourself," I returned. •I Yes—that's true. I learned something at the 'Three Swans' last night, Mr. Arch- er, which nearly concerns us." " Indeed," I returned, pricking up my "You have hoard of White Haired Bobby f" said Mr. Braintroe. "Do you mean the great bank robber?" I asked. " Yes, he himself. He has robbed more banks than any ten men in the United States. He has never failed in any one instance. His success in breaking into safes and vaults has something marvelous in it. Ho works generally in company with a friend of his who goes by tho nom de guerre of Slippery Jim." " I have heard of that rascal, too," I re- turned. " Well, now for my information. Last night I learned that White Haired Bob- by and Slippery Jim aro about to visit Milwaukee for the express purpose of re- lieving the Citizens' Bank of its money and valuables." " The dueco they aro 1 ." was all I could 8HV« " ilr. Archer, I do not intend that this worthy pair shall accomplish their pur- pose, soI want you to keep an extra look- out. I shall visit tho Three Swans night- ly for some weeks, to find out, if possible, the moment they arrive." Six weeks passed away and wo heard no more of White Haired Bobby or Slip- pery Jim. Mr. Braintree continued to visit the Three Swans nightly, but heard nothing further. We came to tho con- clusion that the two famous robbers had changed their minds, and had gone to ex- on the little finger of his right hand, was dressed in a suit of black, which fit- ted him perfectly and must have been made by a first-class tailor. It was this black suit, together with the whitest and stiffest of cravats, ana a short-sighted eye-glass which dangled from his neck, and which he every now and then raised to his eyes, that gave him the intense clerical appearance which I have referred to above. " Do you wish to see Mr. Braintree on business':" I asked. " Not exactly on business," returned the stranger, " but if ho is disengaged I should like to see him." "Here is Mr. Braintree, now," I re- plied, as the President stopped out of his private room into the bunk. " Mr. Braintree," said the stranger, ro- Ying his hat and speaking in the po- litest tone, "allow mo to introduce my- self. My name is KHiot—the llcv. Itob- ert Elliot. I am an Episcopal crergy- man, lately appointed pastor to a church in St. Pan], I am now on my way there, but cannot leave until Monday. At my hotel, to-day, I heard tho landlord speak of the extraordinary safety vault you have attached tothis bank. As I have a penchant for seeing such structures, I thought perhaps you would let mo see yours, of which I have heard so much." "Certainly, sir, with great pleasure," replied Mr. Braintroo, win 1 , by tho way, was particularly partial to clergymen, doubtless because they formed such a con- trast to tho inhabitants of frontier settle- ments. " Mr. Archer," added my chief, will you be good enough to light tho dark lantern and accompany us?" It wanted about twenty minutes to our usual time of closing the bank, and I had just finished my work. Had such not been tho case, 1 should in all probability have sent one of tho clerks in my place. There was nothing, however, to prevent me from doing as the President request- ed. 1therefore lighted a dark lantern, and we all three descended the steps lead- ing to tho vault. The specie and valuables of the bank were kopt in an immense iron safe which was placed in a stone chamber. The walls of this chamber were . of extraordinary thickness, and the entrance to it was through a mnssivo iron door, which was secured by an immense padlock. By this means the specie of the bank was doubly protected, for even supposing that a robber should Bttoceedin obtaining an entrance into the stone vault, ho would still have to force the immense safe, a matter of impossibility, unless he happened to possess the secret, which was turning the handle around exactly seven t-mes. Once more or less would bo of no v:iil. I unlocked the padlock, leaving the key in tho lock, and wo all entered the stone v.iult. The Rev. Mr. EUiot appeared to bo strangely interest* d in tl.o place. He gazed around him in sseming wonder ; he Ho ' ill the evening I again disposed myself to measured the thickness of the wall, and the length and breadth of tho stone room. "Very secure! very secure indeed!" ho murmured. " You can set bank robbers at defiance with a room like this, Mr. Braintree." " Yo-, sir, I believe wo can ; for even if ;.ny o io 6houll succeed in getting in the st >ne vault, they would still have the safe to t\ re'." " True, very true," responded the rever- end gentleman ; "but I notice one pecu- liarity aboujt your safe," he added, glan- cing toward it as he spoke, " you have no lock on it." "It is not necessary," returned Mr. Braintree, " for unless a person happened to know the secret of opening tho door, I w.puid defy him to open it. You see," added the President, suiting the action to the word, " In order to effect an entrance it is necessary to turn the handle exactiy seven times." After the seventh time Mr. Braintreo gave a strong pull, and tho heavy door slowly turned on its hinges. The rever- end gentleman glanced inside with ex- cusable curiosity. "Very curious'" very curious, indeed !" he murmured. How very curious is the ingenuity of man !" At that moment Mr. Braintree called tho clergyman to see something elsein the stone vault, and they both moved to the extreme end of the apartment. On glancing into the safe I noticed that two ledgers were out of their places. I entered the safe toplace them in their re- spective cases, when either the clergy- man or Mr. Braintreo brushed past the safe, unconsciously knocking against the door as he did so, which gave it such an impetus that it closed on me and the bolts slid noiselessly into their sockets and I was a prisoner. There was an acoustic phenomena con- nected with this safe which I never heard explained, and that was, any one shut in- side it could hear every word uttered in the vault, while no noise that he might make could reach tho outside. I was aware of this peculiarity, and knew that it would be useless for me to cry out. The only hope I had was, that when Mr. Braintree missed me he would sur- mise where I was. But in a few moments this illusion was dispelled. " Why, where can Mr. Archer bc'r' heard Mr. Braintreo observe. " Oh.JC ] member now, he had an engagement af- ter banking hours, and I suppose ho has gone to keep it, but 1 think he might. H:iv< left tho lantern with us. But wo can find our Way. out. easy enough." 1 heard them leave tho vault, the iron bar put up in its place, and tho key turn- ed in the padlock. I realized the fact that there was no hope for me. I was a prisoner, and thero I would have to remain until Monday morning. It was no pleasant thing to remain shu up there forty-two hours without food o water, but there was no help for it, for knew that all the screaming in tho vtorli would only be so much breath wasted. 1 therefore determined to take matters a philosophically as I could, and not in dulge in useless repining. Fortunately had in my pocket a volume of Shake speare, and the dark lantern was also ii my possession. 1made a seat for mysel of some ledgers, and turning down tli lamp to a point to which 1 could reai conveniently, I began to enjoy myself a well as the circumstancos of the cas would permit. I read for five or six hours, and I ca safely affirm that I never enjoyed Shake sleep. I was suddenly awakened by the sound of voices in the stone vault, and natural- ly supposing that it was 10 o'clock on .Monday morning, and that some «f the clerks were coining to open tho safe, I glanced at my watch and found to my extreme surprise that it was exactly twelve o'clock at night. By somo intuition, tho truth struck mo in a moment. It wes soino ono who had como to rob tho bank, and tho reverend of the day before was a spy. Tho first words I heard confirmed the truth of this conclusion, for I heard the Kev. Mr. Elliot's voice exclaim to his con- federate : "Well, hero wo are in the famous stone vault—do you know, Jim, we got into it much easier than I expected •'" "Thanks to your visit on Saturday af- ternoon, Bobby, as ono of the black-coat- ed gentry." The robbers, then, were the famous "White-Haired Bobby" and "Slippery Jim." " Yes," returned Bobby, " I think that 1 gammoned the two buffers pretty well You see, Jim, what it is to be a man of education. I should just like to seo you in the part of tho Rev. Mr. Elliott, and sec what a figure you'd cut in it." " That ain't in my line nohow—but I toll you what. Bobby, you can't beat me picking a lock." " You are pretty good at that, and no mist.iki 1 . But come, let's go at the swag " " You are sure you haven't forgotten how toopen tho safe, Bobby!-" "No, indeed; the fool told me it was done by turning the handle around seven times. Of all the blessed babbles that I over saw, I never saw any ono come up to this man Braintree." I saw that it was now time for me to act. Fortunately I had my pistol in my pocket with me. I drew it from my pock- et, cookod it, and turned up the lamp to its full. I waited for tho door of tho safe to be opened, realizing fully that my on- ly chance of overpowering the two ruf- fians was to take them by surprise, for if I allowed them to recover from the eifect of my sudden appearance, they, being two toone, would soon overpower me. I had not long to wait. I heard the handle turn seven successive times, and then Bobby gave a strong pull at the heavy door of tho 6afe. It yielded, but in a moment I stepped out with the dark lantern turned full up- on the robbers, and with my arm stretch- ed out, holding the cocked pistol in my hand. The effect of My appearance upon Bob- by and Jin; w.is :i'. solutely terrilic. They must have thought me a ghost, for they both turned perfectly livid with fear. Before they had time to recover them- selves I knocked Jim senseless to tho floor with the butt end of my pistol, and, bringing upon the other, I grasped him y the throat and bore him to the ground. Fortune favored me in another respect, >r 1 saw hanging out of the pocket of ruffian 1 had under mo, a long piece f strong cord. Ho struggled violently, ut I was the stronger man of the two ad succeeded in binding him fast with- ut much trouble. When I had White-Haired Bobby se- ured I turned my attention to his com- anion, who, fortunately for me, remained n a state of insensibility. Iu five minutes I had them both so se- urely bound that they could not move and or foot. I left them while I went o arouse the house. I proceeded first to Mr. Braintree's ooin. lie slept over the bank. I knock- d loudly at his door. Who's there ? What is it ?" he ex- laimed. " Get up, Mr. Braintree," I cried out. ' White-Haired Bobby' and ' Slippery im ' have made an attempt to "rob the ank. They aro both now lying in tho ault, securely bound." " You are jesting, Arthur," said Brain- tee, jumping out of bed and opening the oo r. It ,is positive truth. The Rev. Mr. ? .lliot, to whom you so obligingly shew- d the vault on Saturday afternoon, and xplained to him how to open the safe, was none other than White-Haired Bob- y himself." It was a minute or two before Mr. Jraintroe could realize the news I brought dm. At last the truth begau to dawn n his mind. " You say boih tho villains aro sccurely )ound on the floor in tho vault ir 1 " res." But who bound thorn V" he asked, bo- oming more and more r>uzzled. I did." Who helped you':"" No one." But how the deuce comes it that you were on tho spot':" I then told him how I had been fasten- d in tho safe, and he began to see through the fog. White this conversation had been pro- gressing, Mr. Braintree had boon dressing iiimself. W r o went down together, sum- moned the officers of the law, and all pro- Led to she vault. We (bund our prisoners just where I had left them, and in a quarter of an hour tbey were safely lodged in jail. It was the last exploit of " 'White-Hair- ed Bobby "and "Slippery Jim," for they wero tried, and public opinion having at last been aroused at their terriblo con- tempt of laws, human laid divine, they wero sentenced to tho penitentiary for life. Mr. Braintreo and tho directors of tho bank compensated mo for my incarcera- tion, declaring that it was the most "for- tunate imprisonment" that ever happened. put Thy hook intil his nose, and Thy bridle intil his gab, and gar himcomo back to Thee, wi a jerk that hell not for- get the langest day ho has to live.

Can ono afford to have a motto adverse to the' old adage, that " Honesty is the best policy." Reader, stop and consider whether what you aro doing, or what you propose to do, will pay; whether you can afford to do it. " Time is money ; " do not throw it oway, but make every day and every hour toll either for your growth, health, or profit.—Phrenological Jonrnal A Persian Tale. There was onco a prince, who, having been much displeased with one of his no- bles, determined to punish him The prince commanded that he should bo shut up in a, high tower. Into this tower there was only one entrance, which was walled up immediately after tho noble- man had boon placed there. Thus all hope of escape seemed to be cut off, and the unhappy man was left to perish. In- side the tower thero was a long winding stair-ease, by which the prisoner reaoheo the top. While looking down from then he observed his wife, who liad como, in- dulging a faint hope that she might be able, by some moans or other, to aid hei husband in escaping from his place of confinement. On inquiring if she could bo of any service to him, he replied: " Oh, yes ; go aud procure a black 11 a little grease, askein of silk, aball of twine, and alongrope." The poor wife hastened to obtain what her husband asked for, won- dering, nodoubt, at tho strangeness of his request. She soon returned, furnished with the things. Her husband then di rcetnd her to put tho grease on tho bee- tle's head, tofasten the silk to its hind leg, tho twine to tho silk, and ropo to the ercise thoir ontcrprismg different field. npoare as well before. The absolute quiet prevailing and the fact of being shut off from sill exterior influences seemed to make me appreciate the hidden beauties of the great poet more than I ever did in my life before. I read until I grow sleepy, and I thru made abed for myself on the account profession in a books, turned the lamp down to thofaint- 1 cst glinimor, for the sake of saving oil, A Scotch Shepherd's Prayer. There is no class of persons more devout than the shepherds of Scotland. Among them tho exercise of family worship is never neglected. It is always gone about with deei. rum; but, formality being a thing despised by them, there aro no com- positions so truly o.iginal occasionally, :or real eloquence, and not unfroquently foi a plain and somewhat unbecoming familiarity. Ono of the most potable men for this sort of hoiucljC fireside elo- quence was Adam Scott, of Upper Dan- gleish. Here is a short sample: " Wo parteeklarly thank Theo for Thy great guedness to Meg ; and that it ever cam' into Your head totak ony thought o' sic a u-elrss bow-wow as her," (alluding to a little "irl of his who had been miraculous- For Thy Thy pui Physiology for Women. Delivering tho opening lecture in the new Ladies' Course on Physiology, at tho University of Edinburgh, Prof. Bennett mad.: thoso excellent remarks : I have long formed tho opinion that physiology, besides being essential to the medical student, should be introduced as an elementary subject of education in all our schools—should bo taught to all classes of society. It is an ascertained fact that 100,000 individuals perish an- nually in this country from causes -which are easily preventable, and that a large amount of misery is caused by an i ancc of tho laws of health. Women, in all classes and degrees of society, have more to do with tho preservation and du ration of human life, even, than men. It has boon argued that, inasmuch as even tho brutes know instinctively how to take care of their young, so must women be able to do the same. But tho human in- fant is tho most helpless of creatures, and nothing is more lamentable than to wit- ness tho anxiety and agony of tho young mother as to how she should manage her first-born. In nosystem of education are women taught the structuro and require- ments of the offspring which will be com- mit Ii d tothoir charge ; and certainly, no error c m be greater than to suppose that the senses and instincts are sufficient for teaching man as to his physical, vital, and intellectual wants. The enormous loss of lifo among infants has struck all who have paid attention to the subject, and there can be noquestion that this is maillly owing to neglect, want of proper food or clothing, of cleanliness, of fresh air and other preventable causes. Dr. Lankester tells us, when ably writing on this topic, that, as Coroner for Central Middlesex, hoholds one hundred inquests annually on children found suffocated in bed by the side of their mothers, and he calculates that in this way 3,000. infants are destroyed annually in Great Britain alonu, attributable in nine cases out of ten to tho gross ignorance of those moth- ers of tho laws which govern tho life of the child. But women are the wivos and regulators of douiostic households. They lso constitute tho groat mass of our do- nestic servants. On them depends the ropor ventilation of tho rooms, and espe- cially tho sleeping rooms, in which all nankind, on an average, upend ono-third their lives. Children a »too often shut up all day in crowded nurseries, and, when ill, are subjected to numerous ab- surd remedies before medical assistance is sent for. Their clothing is often useless or neglected, the dictation of a fashion rathor than comfort and warmth being oo frequently attended to. The cleanli- less of the house also dopends on women, lid the removal of organic matter from 'urniture and linon, tho decomposition of which is soproductive of disease. Fur- ther, the proper choico and preparation of food is entrusted to them. All these are physiological subjocts, tho ignoranco of which is constantly loading to tho great- st unhappiness, ill health, and (loath. Among the working classes it is too fre- quently tho improvidence and ignorance of tho women which load to tho intern- jer.ineo and brutality of tho men, from which originate half the vice and crime iuown to our police offices and courts of ustico. Additional arguments for the study of physiology for women may bo derived from tho consideration of—(1) tho ffects of fashionable clothing—the tight acing, naked shoulders, thin shoes, high- looled boots—often subversive of health'; '2) tho great objects of marriage—tho pro- duction of healthy offspring—and all the loresight, care and provision required, but too often neglected through ignorance, to the danger both of mother and child ; (3) tho proper employment of women, which should be regulated with regard to their conformation and constitutions; and (4) nursing tho sick, which is one of tho most tioly occupations of women, and which would bo much moro intelligently dono f they possessed physiological knowledge. Ilenco women in all rauks of society should have physiology taught to them. It should be an essontial subject in thoir primary, secondary, and higher schools. So strong are my convictions on this sub- ject that I deem it a special duty to lec- Luro on physiology to womon, and when- ever I have done so I have found them most attentive and interested on the sub- ject, possessing indeed a peculiar aptitude for the study, und an instinctive feeling, whether as servants or mistresses, wives or mothers, that that science contains for them, more than any other, fho elements of real and useful knowledge. Boston's New Coliseum. Its ground plan will be a parallelogram S'J-J'./fcot in length by -I'*'-., feet width, measuring 347,506 square feet in area, or a trifle less than eight acres, being 322 feet longer and 122 foet wider than the coliseum of 18G9, and containing more than double the area of that immense structure. Throughout tho space not a single post, pillar or support of any kind will obstruct the view from end to end. The roof, consisting of a double system of self-supporting trusses, the invention of Mr. Ailen, will spring in a gentle curve directly from tho foundations constructed on piles driven 35 feet into the ground and two segments meeting at tho ridge and forming a graceful arch, at an eleva- tion above tho floor of 172 feet. Similar segments will spring from the ground at cither end, uniting with the two side seg- ments, forming an immense Mansard pa- vilion, with the graceful linos peculiar to that style of architecture. Tho trusses supporting the end segments of the roof will run the entire length of tho building, having a clear span OI over 800 feet, and knitting tho whole roof into a substan- tial, self-supporting struoture. From tho foot of tho arches on either side and end will rise perpendicular buttresses 53 feet high, at which elevation tho curve of the trusses will leave a space of 13 feet be- tween the outer lino aud the lino of tho buttresses. This space will be floored, forming an outside promenade, with an elevation of 50 feet, a width of 18 feet, and a total length equal to double tho com- bined length and width of the building, or half a mile. In those buttresses, serv tho immense auditorium. Tho lower of these will be 70 and tho upper one 113 feet above tho parquet floor. Under the corridors there will bo 16 halls, ranging in size from 80x140 to 100x100 foet. All oi those will bedivided in such a man- ner as convenience may dictate, and will be lis^hthd by round top windows cut be- tween the pilasters of the buttress. Both wood and iron will De used in the con- struction of the building. The immense trusses of which we have spoken will be ol timber ono foot square, each of the cross-span trusses requiring no le.SS than 'J.">,i|()0 feet of lumber for its construction. Tho seating caducity of the building will bo about as follows, the figures given be- ing below the numbers that could actu- ally be accommodated : Audience, *'•',,- 000 ; chorus, 20,000; orchestra, 2,000;— giving a total of over 100,000 persons gathered under ono roof. The exact lo- cation of the structuro has not been de- termined upon. It will, however, bo built within tho limits bounded by Hunting- ton avenue, Pairfiold street, tho Provi- dence Railroad and the waters of the Back Bay, and knowing ones whisper that the recent pnrchase by loading capi- talists of an immense tract in that vicini- ty was with a viow to securing a proper place for tho purpose.—Com. Bulletin. Ingenious Applic. tion of Electricity. Tho efforts which havo hoon made, from time to time, to engrave on metals by means of electricity, seems at last to have resulted in tho attainment of something practical. An ingenious mechanic has produced aninvention by which a metal plate, upon which a design is drawn with a chemical ink of some kind, is slowly rotated with the face vertical, and several other similar plates, graded in size, aro also slowly rotated by appropriate me- chanism. The object of the invention is to engrave on tho smaller plates tho design traced upon tho largest, on different scales of magnitude, which is accomplish- ed by applying a cutting point totho faco of each plate, and which is pressed against it bymoans of an oleotric current whenever a blunt point, applied to the largo plate, encounters tho mk in which the design is traced—-the cutting points being at other ^imes withdrawn. Tho point presented to tho first plato is mere- ly a " feeler," which deterniiues, by elec- trical agency, whether the ink is beneath it or not. If it is, tho points are pressed into tho surface of tho other plates; if not, they aro withdrawn and prevented from, cutting. The feeler and tho burins all follow a spiral track. WATER AND OAS PBBXEAXIOIT. W T hon iron pipes, somo containing gas ami tho others water, have been laid in contiguity, the gas has in soino instances boon found to escape from, one pipe and parmoato through the other, until it mixed with the water in it—a phonomo- nou which, though extraordinary, takes place simply in accordance with the chemical theory of the subtlo diffusion of gases. Tho gas, having onoo escaped from its own confinement, impregnates the ground lying about the pipos, and thus the pipe containing the water is surrounded by gas. It thoroforo occupies tho position of a porous medium between two fluids of different densities, and the remedy is obviously to diminish tho porosity of the pipo; this may bo effected cither by the employment of another material, or by coating tho iron externally or internally with some description of protective paint. If this measure were effectually, carried out, and tho pipos protected externally, lv savdd from drowning). •' mercy's sake, for the s;.ke o puir sinful' oreeturs now addressing Theo ,, 1*11 _v T._ .1 J\._ .!.„ In thoir shilly-shi ly way, and for the sake o' mair than we daur weel name to Thee, hue mercy on our Bob.

On being set at liber- ty on the wall, the beetle, smelling the grease on its head, and not being able to discover where it was, crept up the towor in search of it, till it arrived at the top. The nobleman caught it, and taking the silk from its hind leg, carefully drew it up. When hecanto to tho end of the silk, ho found tho twine, and next he came tothe rope. Fastening this to a crook, ho lot himself down, and thus made his escape. A prison chaplain was lamenting the want of success attending his ministry. Of one iimn, who had been condemned to ilt ath, hosaid he had great hopes, tho prisoner having been assiduous in the reading of the Bible, which had boon given him. The chaplain, after great ex- ertions, obtained a commutation of th sentence. " I called to inform him of my success. His gratitude know no bounds; ho said I was hit preserver, his deliverer. "' And here," ho added, as ho grasped my hand in parting. ' here is your Bible. 1 may as well return it, for I hope that I shall never want it again.'" ing the additional purposes of givinf creased strength tothe structure, will be constructed tho entrances to the building. These will be sixteen in number, four principal and twelve minor. The four principal entrances, in the centres of the sides and ends, will be inscribod with the names of the four groat continents, and bo appropriately decorated with rial's, na- tional emblems, etc. Above each will rise an elegant pavilion 120 feet high, while similar pavilions, of less height, will bo built at each of tho four corners of the structure, giving beauty and symmetry to the whole. Besides the four main or principal entranoesnamed, thero will In: on each side four and on each end two minor entrances, all appropriately deoo rated. Each of these will be surmounted by a towor C>S feet in height. A "moni- tor" H> feet high will run the entire length of the roof, affording ample venti lation.

Tho plan of oovoring tho outside of gas-pipes with tar has boon roconimondod for this purpose; but, though a coating of tat may possess soino advantage in such a caso, it is by no moans the best provoittiva fhat might bo used. A protecting aud preserving paint or composition oapablo of effectu- ally answering this and similar purx^oses is a desideratum. CAST IRON RAILROADS. Tho adoption of cast iron for street railroads and tramways is meeting with much favor in Scotland, At a meeting of the trustees of tho Clyde Navigation Company of Glasgow, tho engineer re- ported that a cast iron tramway which had been laid down on tho South Quay for trial had stood in a very satisfactory mannor tho most severo tests for more than four months. During this period the passing of railway and cart traffic bad been almost continuous, but the tramway showed no signs either of dis- placement in lino or level, or of any weai or need of repair in any way, being to al' intents and purposes as perfect as when first laid down. Undor the circumstance of the sevoro tests to which the tramway had been submitted, the results were con sidcred very satisfactory, and the further use of this style of cast iron tramway was recommended for quays and yards. -.. —*^i»w »• •' Public Schools in Koine. John M. Francis writes to th Troy Times from Rome as follows : Prior to the entranco of the Italian government into this city a year age there existed no system of free publi' schools. This necessity was promptlj met by the government. Great difficult) was encountered at the outset in procur ing school rooms and teachers, the oppon ents of the government and the old He man aristocracy refusing to loaso build ings for a purpose condemned by th i'opo and the Jesuits. But the govern ment was notto be foiled, and in on month after tho entranoe of tho troop public school wore opened. Tho govern ment advertised for teachers. Over tw hundred candidates applied. Of tlii number about thirty only wore able t pass the required examination. ,\lau of thoso rejected had long taught in th church schools. A sort of temporary nor- mal wus organized, and about four hun- dred are now in attendance, comprising a large share of tho rejected candidates. The Pope now eaconrage8 tho.r attend- ance ill tins teachers' congress and em- ployment iu tho schools, for many of them are nuns ami monks, or the " infer- ior clergy" so-called.

One of tho most common expressions heard, and heard everywhere is, " I havo taken a cold." Whero one man has died in battle, thousands have died from tak- ing cold ; and of every thousand dying, five hundred havo come to their fate from not knowing what a cold is. As a physi- cian, I arn confident that I do not over- state this. Now, what I propose here is, to tell the reader just exactly what a cold is and the principle on which the doctor treat3 it. The whole gist of tho matter is very simple—so much so, indeed, that you will likely be prompted to ask if that is all; and yet it will be. A cold means a disturbance from expo- sure of tho circulation; such exposure may have been to cold, to heat or to draughts. Flowing through tho circula- tory system of man is that material which we call the blood. Ina state of equipoise, or non-dorangeiuent, every part has of this fluid a proper proportion ; thero is just so much circulating through his lungs, just so much in his live! ; so much in his foet; every part has enough but not overmuch; he is comfortable; in. health, in ease. Now we will mako a cold. Four friends go out for a walk on ft sloppy winter's day, and all come back with wet feet. Or the four, on a sum- mer's afternoon, go out for a row on the lako or liver; becoming overheated from exertion, each throws off his vest or neck- cloth, luxuriating in the breeze, which 80 delightfully refreshes. Next day the four are sick : they all have t iken a cold. One, howovor, hus pneumonia; a second, pleurisy; a third, inf a mnation of h bow- s ; and the fourth, lumbago. In other all have the same thing, yet all avo different diseases. This is their con- it ion. The cold, impinging on the sur- ace of tho wet feet, or over the exposed aid necks, so contracts the ves- ils of those parts that all tlie blood is riven out of them; tin's fluid had, of ourso, to gi somewh? e, so it intru- ed on theeirculiiHon <-,t other parts; it ecame in reality, through its excess an rritant: it over-stimulated; it. uver-con- ested. In the case of the first patient, :ie lungs wero his weakest organs; they ad not the vit il force to contract upon nd dr:\ IO current intruding on so tho fluid forcod its-it" into arter- es and capillaries, and gorget them ; this pneumonia. Tho other parts saved tiemselves only through their superior itality; they possessed the capabilities f resistanco and antagonism. In tho ecoud caso tho pleura w.is tho weak art; inthe.th,e third, the abdominal vis- era; in tho fourth, the muscles of tho ack. AVo have, then, our four patients, all af- icted through a common derangem.nt f their circulatory systems; tho princi- >le involved inall being precisely the ague. If just here may bo accomplished he restoration of the deranged equilib- rium, the four will bo well on the third morning; if such equipoise may not bo ecured, one out of tho four will most ikely sucouiub; a second be converted nto a life-long invalid; the third and ourth may osoapo with more or less in- ury. What can be done? Tho indication is relieve the overburdened part. How? We will take the lung as our example. The organ is full, overfull, of blood ; hi: man is drowning from tho engorging luid ; the vessels and capillaries of the iart contract upon themselves to their wu emptying, because of this ovor-full- 1688, which is the destruction of their onicity ; assist now to get away any of his excess aud nature will care for the >alance. To get away any part of the blood is tliun the object. This may be attempted in any way that promises to 'ulfill the indication. First, if the feet of a man lieplaced in lint w.it-", it is soon emarked that the parts grow red and en- gorged ; this is because the capillaries ire enlarged, and the blood, by gravita- ion and attraction; has filled every part. ?his blood must come from somewhere; t comes as much from the overfilled lung as any other part; tho lung, thus, per- laps, unburdoned tothe limit of its con- ructilo power, the trouble is ended. A single hot foot-bath, or a repetition of ;heso, has saved a multitude of lives. A second principlo of relief to a conges- «d part is to get to bed and drink hot ;ea until thrown into a profuse perspira- ion. Now, as porspiration is the water ot tho blood, ft man cannot sweat without casting off so much from the volume of ;he blood. In this way congestion is of- n speedily relieved. A third mannor is found in reducing ;he volume through the uso of what are called hydragosuo cathartics. A doso of Epsom salts, for instance, may reduce the quantity of water in a man's blood to the xtent of a quart, and this, in a conges- tion, might well bo his salvation. In •onj unction -with the depletory medicine, ;he physician almost invariably ^prescribes >piates ; this is with tho object of sooth- ing and quieting the irritated and wor- ried nervous system. A man recognizes that ho has taken a cold through a sense of feverishness and seat that takes possession of him. This is likely his first symptom ; it is the condi- themost effective ng.-nc es in the regen- eration of Italy, in this oooneotion 1 Bjaj state: that Mrs. Dr. Oottld, one of our own distinguished and philanthropic oountrywomun, is doing a most import- ant work here. Only last March she started a free children's, school on her own account. At first thero were only three pupils. Now eighty bright-eyed Italian children aro in attendance. Their parents are -ill of the poorer class- es. Tm:ir ages aro from three to four- teen years- girls und uoys. Wfi visited this school yesterday. It is remarkable to note what progress the children have made iu learning. They are instructed tion of a simply deranged circulation ; at no point is thero a special derangement but the system at large is in iu a state of irritability. A quieting, soothing influ- ence, any one may recognize, is just now the indication ; it is really tho case that the nervous center, lik? an ill offlcor, has becomo fussy from fright, ordering, if you please, tho troops hero and thero without any sufficient reason. If tho cen- ter was less impressible, or a trifle moro indifferent, nothing would be felt to be wrong—indeed, nothing would be wrong. Anything which a man has felt to bo soothing to him is.here iu place J few things aro bettor than lemonade made very acid, and if, in conjunction with this, tho patient will take, on going to bed, twenty grains of bromide of potassium, the chances are that next morning he will get up well. If ho does not, yet tools no worse, or may be a little better, then he is simply to continue his lemonade and potassium through the day, at least twolemoM u> be consumed with the and fifteen or twonty grains of the latter dusoivod in .1 wine-glass oi water, three times repeated during the day.— (Jndorsnofa a course, it is much more hko- hr that the circulation will be found to calm itself as do the waters after a storm. "Wo are, however, in our lesson, to look. at the oppposite aspect of tho matter: perhaps *'h>' patient prows worse instead of better. A jonse of fullness is felt in «w head, or oppression in tho chest. This is because a weak pari is b 'ing over-flooded —the weak point, physioaUy. nf the indi- vidubl. A man oan always learn ot suoh. weak places through a cold. He has now the conditions and indications found uud described with the four rowers. Now is tho call for relief loud and pressing, it is in the condition ofa country overrun aw I overburdened with its own troops ; these must be gotten awwy, allot them, and tho quicker the better. Here, then, is the demand for the hot foot-bath, tho sweating medicines and the dimvhes, the cathartic, and, il' the individual bo of full habit and plethoric.it may he nec- . to destroy the troops iu bulk by ag. This last, however, is seldom necessary; proper generalship will save both country and troops. , Tins, then", isa cold, aad the principle given is that on which it is treated. Io this extent has the reader learned ol med- icine, and become indoctrinated 1 siauthropy.— Odd H Tho use of cymbals iu brass bands is to reach » climax thrcttjh Oilmore, who .

BACH fr ABEL,

KOHBINU THE BANK.

A few weeks ago, while staying at. At-autic City, I met at ray hotel a gray-hair-d old gentleman, whose conversation

neatly inteaested me. He had evidentlyeun a great deal of the world, and wasspecially conversant with everythingonnected with the banking business

In a few days we became quite coinpan-ons, and Mr. James Archer (for that waslie name of my new friend) informed mebat ho had been engaged in the bankusiness all his life, having at differentimes filled the various offices of cashier,«ller, and President.

1 should suppose," I observed, " thatlie banking business offers fewer diama-ic episodes than any other profession.'

" I don't agree with you there," return-d Mr. Archer. " Judging from my ownxperience, I should say there are few oth-r professions which offer more dramatic:enes."" You have been an actor in some

cenes of this character V" I asked.' I have indeed. Let us sit down upon

lis ]Kirch, and I will toll you what hap-enejd to me once out West."So saying, wo fixed ourselves comforta-

ly, and Mr. Archer related to me the fol-->\ving exciting episode of his life.

* # * * * v ' *Some thirty vears ago I was cashier inbank, situateel in the city of Milwau-

ee, in the State of Wisconsin. Althoughlarge place now, Milwaukee was at theme I refer to a long* straggling town,

with a very rough class of inhabitants.Like all places on the extreme verge of

ivilization, the law was aliu.ost a deade.tter. Jlojse thieves, robbers and mur-

derers were there in such numbers thatthey struck terror in law abiding citizens,and no jury could be found to convictthe most heinous offender. If it chancedto leak oui that any of the twolvo jurorswore in favor of bringing in a verdict ofguilty, his or their lives were sure to paythe forfeit of their sense,of justice.

As a natural consequence of living insuch a state of society, every man walkedabroad with his life in his hand, and, with-out a single exception, every ono wentarmed to the teeth. I have known mento be shot down like dogs for a -word, oreven a look.

There were hundreds of men who madeit their business to try to pick quarrelswith the better class, that they might geta chance of killing and robbing them.

You will readily understand that car-rying on a bank under these circumstan-ces was a most arduous task. Every Oneof the vaults built for the specie and val-uables of the bank were of the most mas-sive character. In fact, so much was thisthe case, .that they became a kind of showplace for strangers, and evt ry one whohappened, to be detained in the tity w; ssure to visit the vault of tho Citizens'Bank.

Our President was a strong, powerful,,energetic man, who had more than one •proved his courage in a melee; consequent-ly the ruffians of the place kept him at adistance, and for two years after the bankwas started «t> one offered to molest us.We had orders from him to shoot downthe first man that showed tho slightestdisposition to be aggressive.

Mr. Bxa>atre,e, for such was our Presi-dent's name, was accustomed to mingle agreat deal with the rougher portion ofthe community, thinking ty <"ia meansho might learn if there was any schemeon foot to attack the bank. Of coursethese inquiries were always made in dis-guise, and indeed, Mr. Braintree possess-ed the *rt of so altering his features that hecould deceive even his own family andparticular friends when assisted by theaid of dress.

He had carried out his plan for abouttwo years without anything occurring toprove its necessity or usefulness,, whenone hot July morning he entered thebank an hour earlier than was usual withhim.

" Good morning, Mr. Archer," said heto me, as he took off his fine black coatand put on an easy fitting blouse.

" Good morning, Mr. Braintree. Youare early this morniwg."

« Yes—J have .something to tell you,and I thought i t better to lps.e no time.You must know, in the first plaoe, that Ivisited tho 'Throe Swans' last night.'"

The "Three Swans" was one of the low-est taverns in the place, and the reudez-vqus £ar ail ,tko desperate characters inthe town and neighborhood. There wasscarcely a night passed that some one wasnot killed there.

" You visited in disguise, I suppose," Iremarked.

" Certainly. I was disguised as a dro-ver, and had tho extreme pleasure of be-ing taken for a horse thief by all thescoundrels present."

" That is a compliment to your successin disguising yourself," I returned.

•I Yes—that's true. I learned somethingat the 'Three Swans' last night, Mr. Arch-er, which nearly concerns us."

" Indeed," I returned, pricking up my

"You have hoard of White HairedBobby f" said Mr. Braintroe.

"Do you mean the great bank robber?"I asked.

" Yes, he himself. He has robbed morebanks than any ten men in the UnitedStates. He has never failed in any oneinstance. His success in breaking intosafes and vaults has something marvelousin it. Ho works generally in companywith a friend of his who goes by tho nomde guerre of Slippery Jim."

" I have heard of that rascal, too," I re-turned.

" Well, now for my information. Lastnight I learned that White Haired Bob-by and Slippery Jim aro about to visitMilwaukee for the express purpose of re-lieving the Citizens' Bank of its moneyand valuables."

" The dueco they aro1." was all I could8HV«

" i lr . Archer, I do not intend that thisworthy pair shall accomplish their pur-pose, so I want you to keep an extra look-out. I shall visit tho Three Swans night-ly for some weeks, to find out, if possible,the moment they arrive."

Six weeks passed away and wo heardno more of White Haired Bobby or Slip-pery Jim. Mr. Braintree continued tovisit the Three Swans nightly, but heardnothing further. We came to tho con-clusion that the two famous robbers hadchanged their minds, and had gone to ex-

on the little finger of his right hand,was dressed in a suit of black, which fit-ted him perfectly and must have beenmade by a first-class tailor. It was thisblack suit, together with the whitest andstiffest of cravats, ana a short-sightedeye-glass which dangled from his neck,and which he every now and then raisedto his eyes, that gave him the intenseclerical appearance which I have referredto above.

" Do you wish to see Mr. Braintree onbusiness':" I asked.

" Not exactly on business," returnedthe stranger, " but if ho is disengaged Ishould like to see him."

"Here is Mr. Braintree, now," I re-plied, as the President stopped out of hisprivate room into the bunk.

" Mr. Braintree," said the stranger, ro-Ying his hat and speaking in the po-

litest tone, "allow mo to introduce my-self. My name is KHiot—the llcv. Itob-ert Elliot. I am an Episcopal crergy-man, lately appointed pastor to a churchin St. Pan], I am now on my way there,but cannot leave until Monday. At myhotel, to-day, I heard tho landlord speakof the extraordinary safety vault youhave attached to this bank. As I have apenchant for seeing such structures, Ithought perhaps you would let mo seeyours, of which I have heard so much."

"Certainly, sir, with great pleasure,"replied Mr. Braintroo, win1, by tho way,was particularly partial to clergymen,doubtless because they formed such a con-trast to tho inhabitants of frontier settle-ments. " Mr. Archer," added my chief,

will you be good enough to light thodark lantern and accompany us?"

It wanted about twenty minutes to ourusual time of closing the bank, and I hadjust finished my work. Had such notbeen tho case, 1 should in all probabilityhave sent one of tho clerks in my place.

There was nothing, however, to preventme from doing as the President request-ed. 1 therefore lighted a dark lantern,and we all three descended the steps lead-ing to tho vault.

The specie and valuables of the bankwere kopt in an immense iron safe whichwas placed in a stone chamber. The wallsof this chamber were . of extraordinarythickness, and the entrance to it wasthrough a mnssivo iron door, which wassecured by an immense padlock.

By this means the specie of the bankwas doubly protected, for even supposingthat a robber should Bttoceedin obtainingan entrance into the stone vault, howould still have to force the immensesafe, a matter of impossibility, unless hehappened to possess the secret, which wasturning the handle around exactly sevent-mes. Once more or less would bo of no

v:iil.I unlocked the padlock, leaving the key

in tho lock, and wo all entered the stonev.iult. The Rev. Mr. EUiot appeared tobo strangely interest* d in tl.o place. Hegazed around him in sseming wonder ; he

Ho ' ill the evening I again disposed myself to

measured the thickness of the wall, andthe length and breadth of tho stoneroom.

"Very secure! very secure indeed!" homurmured. " You can set bank robbersat defiance with a room like this, Mr.Braintree."

" Yo-, sir, I believe wo can ; for even if;.ny o io 6houll succeed in getting in thest >ne vault, they would still have the safeto t\ re'."

" True, very true," responded the rever-end gentleman ; "but I notice one pecu-liarity aboujt your safe," he added, glan-cing toward it as he spoke, " you have nolock on it."

" I t is not necessary," returned Mr.Braintree, " for unless a person happenedto know the secret of opening tho door, Iw.puid defy him to open it. You see,"added the President, suiting the action tothe word, " In order to effect an entranceit is necessary to turn the handle exactiyseven times."

After the seventh time Mr. Braintreogave a strong pull, and tho heavy doorslowly turned on its hinges. The rever-end gentleman glanced inside with ex-cusable curiosity.

"Very curious'" very curious, indeed !"he murmured. How very curious is theingenuity of man !"

At that moment Mr. Braintree calledtho clergyman to see something else inthe stone vault, and they both moved tothe extreme end of the apartment.

On glancing into the safe I noticed thattwo ledgers were out of their places. Ientered the safe to place them in their re-spective cases, when either the clergy-man or Mr. Braintreo brushed past thesafe, unconsciously knocking against thedoor as he did so, which gave it such animpetus that it closed on me and the boltsslid noiselessly into their sockets and Iwas a prisoner.

There was an acoustic phenomena con-nected with this safe which I never heardexplained, and that was, any one shut in-side it could hear every word uttered inthe vault, while no noise that he mightmake could reach tho outside. I wasaware of this peculiarity, and knew thatit would be useless for me to cry out.

The only hope I had was, that whenMr. Braintree missed me he would sur-mise where I was. But in a few momentsthis illusion was dispelled.

" Why, where can Mr. Archer bc'r'heard Mr. Braintreo observe. " Oh.JC ]member now, he had an engagement af-ter banking hours, and I suppose ho hasgone to keep it, but 1 think he might. H:iv<left tho lantern with us. But wo can findour Way. out. easy enough."

1 heard them leave tho vault, the ironbar put up in its place, and tho key turn-ed in the padlock.

I realized the fact that there was nohope for me. I was a prisoner, and theroI would have to remain until Mondaymorning.

It was no pleasant thing to remain shuup there forty-two hours without food owater, but there was no help for it, forknew that all the screaming in tho vtorliwould only be so much breath wasted. 1therefore determined to take matters aphilosophically as I could, and not indulge in useless repining. Fortunatelyhad in my pocket a volume of Shakespeare, and the dark lantern was also iimy possession. 1 made a seat for myselof some ledgers, and turning down tlilamp to a point to which 1 could reaiconveniently, I began to enjoy myself awell as the circumstancos of the caswould permit.

I read for five or six hours, and I casafely affirm that I never enjoyed Shake

sleep.I was suddenly awakened by the sound

of voices in the stone vault, and natural-ly supposing that it was 10 o'clock on.Monday morning, and that some «f theclerks were coining to open tho safe, Iglanced at my watch and found to myextreme surprise that it was exactlytwelve o'clock at night.

By somo intuition, tho truth struck moin a moment. I t wes soino ono who hadcomo to rob tho bank, and tho reverendof the day before was a spy.

Tho first words I heard confirmed thetruth of this conclusion, for I heard theKev. Mr. Elliot's voice exclaim to his con-federate :

"Well, hero wo are in the famous stonevault—do you know, Jim, we got into itmuch easier than I expected •'"

"Thanks to your visit on Saturday af-ternoon, Bobby, as ono of the black-coat-ed gentry."

The robbers, then, were the famous"White-Haired Bobby" and "SlipperyJim."

" Yes," returned Bobby, " I think that1 gammoned the two buffers pretty wellYou see, Jim, what it is to be a man ofeducation. I should just like to seo youin the part of tho Rev. Mr. Elliott, andsec what a figure you'd cut in it."

" That ain't in my line nohow—but Itoll you what. Bobby, you can't beat mepicking a lock."

" You are pretty good at that, and nomist.iki1. But come, let's go at the swag "

" You are sure you haven't forgottenhow to open tho safe, Bobby!-"

"No, indeed; the fool told me it wasdone by turning the handle around seventimes. Of all the blessed babbles that Iover saw, I never saw any ono come up tothis man Braintree."

I saw that it was now time for me toact. Fortunately I had my pistol in mypocket with me. I drew it from my pock-et, cookod it, and turned up the lamp toits full. I waited for tho door of tho safeto be opened, realizing fully that my on-ly chance of overpowering the two ruf-fians was to take them by surprise, for ifI allowed them to recover from the eifectof my sudden appearance, they, beingtwo to one, would soon overpower me.

I had not long to wait. I heard thehandle turn seven successive times, andthen Bobby gave a strong pull at theheavy door of tho 6afe.

It yielded, but in a moment I steppedout with the dark lantern turned full up-on the robbers, and with my arm stretch-ed out, holding the cocked pistol in myhand.

The effect of My appearance upon Bob-by and Jin; w.is :i'. solutely terrilic. Theymust have thought me a ghost, for theyboth turned perfectly livid with fear.

Before they had time to recover them-selves I knocked Jim senseless to tho floorwith the butt end of my pistol, and,

bringing upon the other, I grasped himy the throat and bore him to the ground.Fortune favored me in another respect,

>r 1 saw hanging out of the pocket ofruffian 1 had under mo, a long piece

f strong cord. Ho struggled violently,ut I was the stronger man of the twoad succeeded in binding him fast with-ut much trouble.When I had White-Haired Bobby se-

ured I turned my attention to his com-anion, who, fortunately for me, remainedn a state of insensibility.

Iu five minutes I had them both so se-urely bound that they could not moveand or foot. I left them while I wento arouse the house.

I proceeded first to Mr. Braintree'sooin. lie slept over the bank. I knock-d loudly at his door.

Who's there ? What is it ?" he ex-laimed.

" Get up, Mr. Braintree," I cried out.' White-Haired Bobby' and ' Slipperyim ' have made an attempt to "rob theank. They aro both now lying in thoault, securely bound."" You are jesting, Arthur," said Brain-

tee, jumping out of bed and opening theoo r.

It ,is positive truth. The Rev. Mr.?.lliot, to whom you so obligingly shew-d the vault on Saturday afternoon, andxplained to him how to open the safe,

was none other than White-Haired Bob-y himself."It was a minute or two before Mr.

Jraintroe could realize the news I broughtdm. At last the truth begau to dawnn his mind." You say boih tho villains aro sccurely

)ound on the floor in tho vault ir1"res."But who bound thorn V" he asked, bo-

oming more and more r>uzzled.I did."Who helped you':""No one."But how the deuce comes it that you

were on tho spot':"I then told him how I had been fasten-

d in tho safe, and he began to see throughthe fog.

White this conversation had been pro-gressing, Mr. Braintree had boon dressingiiimself. Wro went down together, sum-moned the officers of the law, and all pro-• Led to she vault.

We (bund our prisoners just where Ihad left them, and in a quarter of anhour tbey were safely lodged in jail.

I t was the last exploit of " 'White-Hair-ed Bobby "and "Slippery Jim," for theywero tried, and public opinion having atlast been aroused at their terriblo con-tempt of laws, human laid divine, theywero sentenced to tho penitentiary forlife.

Mr. Braintreo and tho directors of thobank compensated mo for my incarcera-tion, declaring that it was the most "for-tunate imprisonment" that ever happened.

A Persian Tale.There was onco a prince, who, having

been much displeased with one of his no-bles, determined to punish him Theprince commanded that he should bo shutup in a, high tower. Into this towerthere was only one entrance, which waswalled up immediately after tho noble-man had boon placed there. Thus allhope of escape seemed to be cut off, andthe unhappy man was left to perish. In-side the tower thero was a long windingstair-ease, by which the prisoner reaoheothe top. While looking down from thenhe observed his wife, who liad como, in-dulging a faint hope that she might beable, by some moans or other, to aid heihusband in escaping from his place ofconfinement. On inquiring if she couldbo of any service to him, he replied:" Oh, yes ; go aud procure a black 11a little grease, a skein of silk, aball of twine,and alongrope." The poor wife hastenedto obtain what her husband asked for, won-dering, no doubt, at tho strangeness ofhis request. She soon returned, furnishedwith the things. Her husband then dircetnd her to put tho grease on tho bee-tle's head, to fasten the silk to its hindleg, tho twine to tho silk, and ropo to the

Physiology for Women.Delivering tho opening lecture in the

new Ladies' Course on Physiology, at thoUniversity of Edinburgh, Prof. Bennettmad.: thoso excellent remarks :

I have long formed tho opinion thatphysiology, besides being essential to themedical student, should be introduced asan elementary subject of education in allour schools—should bo taught to allclasses of society. I t is an ascertainedfact that 100,000 individuals perish an-nually in this country from causes -whichare easily preventable, and that a largeamount of misery is caused by an iancc of tho laws of health. Women, inall classes and degrees of society, havemore to do with tho preservation and duration of human life, even, than men. Ithas boon argued that, inasmuch as eventho brutes know instinctively how to takecare of their young, so must women beable to do the same. But tho human in-fant is tho most helpless of creatures, andnothing is more lamentable than to wit-ness tho anxiety and agony of tho youngmother as to how she should manage herfirst-born. In no system of education arewomen taught the structuro and require-ments of the offspring which will be com-mit Ii d to thoir charge ; and certainly, noerror cm be greater than to suppose thatthe senses and instincts are sufficient forteaching man as to his physical, vital,and intellectual wants. The enormousloss of lifo among infants has struck allwho have paid attention to the subject,and there can be no question that this ismaillly owing to neglect, want of properfood or clothing, of cleanliness, of freshair and other preventable causes. Dr.Lankester tells us, when ably writing onthis topic, that, as Coroner for CentralMiddlesex, ho holds one hundred inquestsannually on children found suffocated inbed by the side of their mothers, and hecalculates that in this way 3,000. infantsare destroyed annually in Great Britainalonu, attributable in nine cases out often to tho gross ignorance of those moth-ers of tho laws which govern tho life ofthe child. But women are the wivos andregulators of douiostic households. Theylso constitute tho groat mass of our do-nestic servants. On them depends theropor ventilation of tho rooms, and espe-

cially tho sleeping rooms, in which allnankind, on an average, upend ono-third

their lives. Children a » too often shutup all day in crowded nurseries, and,when ill, are subjected to numerous ab-surd remedies before medical assistance issent for. Their clothing is often uselessor neglected, the dictation of a fashionrathor than comfort and warmth beingoo frequently attended to. The cleanli-less of the house also dopends on women,lid the removal of organic matter from'urniture and linon, tho decomposition ofwhich is so productive of disease. Fur-ther, the proper choico and preparationof food is entrusted to them. All theseare physiological subjocts, tho ignorancoof which is constantly loading to tho great-st unhappiness, ill health, and (loath.

Among the working classes it is too fre-quently tho improvidence and ignoranceof tho women which load to tho intern-jer.ineo and brutality of tho men, from

which originate half the vice and crimeiuown to our police offices and courts ofustico. Additional arguments for the

study of physiology for women may boderived from tho consideration of—(1) thoffects of fashionable clothing—the tightacing, naked shoulders, thin shoes, high-looled boots—often subversive of health';'2) tho great objects of marriage—tho pro-duction of healthy offspring—and all theloresight, care and provision required, buttoo often neglected through ignorance, tothe danger both of mother and child ; (3)tho proper employment of women, whichshould be regulated with regard to theirconformation and constitutions; and (4)nursing tho sick, which is one of tho mosttioly occupations of women, and whichwould bo much moro intelligently donof they possessed physiological knowledge.

Ilenco women in all rauks of societyshould have physiology taught to them.It should be an essontial subject in thoirprimary, secondary, and higher schools.So strong are my convictions on this sub-ject that I deem it a special duty to lec-Luro on physiology to womon, and when-ever I have done so I have found themmost attentive and interested on the sub-ject, possessing indeed a peculiar aptitudefor the study, und an instinctive feeling,whether as servants or mistresses, wivesor mothers, that that science contains forthem, more than any other, fho elementsof real and useful knowledge.

Boston's New Coliseum.Its ground plan will be a parallelogram

S'J-J'./fcot in length by -I'*'-., feet width,measuring 347,506 square feet in area, ora trifle less than eight acres, being 322feet longer and 122 foet wider than thecoliseum of 18G9, and containing morethan double the area of that immensestructure. Throughout tho space not asingle post, pillar or support of any kindwill obstruct the view from end to end.The roof, consisting of a double system ofself-supporting trusses, the invention ofMr. Ailen, will spring in a gentle curvedirectly from tho foundations constructedon piles driven 35 feet into the groundand two segments meeting at tho ridgeand forming a graceful arch, at an eleva-tion above tho floor of 172 feet. Similarsegments will spring from the ground atcither end, uniting with the two side seg-ments, forming an immense Mansard pa-vilion, with the graceful linos peculiar tothat style of architecture. Tho trussessupporting the end segments of the roofwill run the entire length of tho building,having a clear span OI over 800 feet, andknitting tho whole roof into a substan-tial, self-supporting struoture. From thofoot of tho arches on either side and endwill rise perpendicular buttresses 53 feethigh, at which elevation tho curve of thetrusses will leave a space of 13 feet be-tween the outer lino aud the lino of thobuttresses. This space will be floored,forming an outside promenade, with anelevation of 50 feet, a width of 18 feet, anda total length equal to double tho com-bined length and width of the building,or half a mile. In those buttresses, serv

tho immense auditorium. Tho lower ofthese will be 70 and tho upper one 113feet above tho parquet floor. Under thecorridors there will bo 16 halls, rangingin size from 80x140 to 100x100 foet. Alloi those will be divided in such a man-ner as convenience may dictate, and willbe lis^hthd by round top windows cut be-tween the pilasters of the buttress. Bothwood and iron will De used in the con-struction of the building. The immensetrusses of which we have spoken will beol timber ono foot square, each of thecross-span trusses requiring no le.SS than'J.">,i|()0 feet of lumber for its construction.Tho seating caducity of the building willbo about as follows, the figures given be-ing below the numbers that could actu-ally be accommodated : Audience, *'•',,-000 ; chorus, 20,000; orchestra, 2,000 ;—giving a total of over 100,000 personsgathered under ono roof. The exact lo-cation of the structuro has not been de-termined upon. I t will, however, bo builtwithin tho limits bounded by Hunting-ton avenue, Pairfiold street, tho Provi-dence Railroad and the waters of theBack Bay, and knowing ones whisperthat the recent pnrchase by loading capi-talists of an immense tract in that vicini-ty was with a viow to securing a properplace for tho purpose.—Com.

Ingenious Applic. tion of Electricity.Tho efforts which havo hoon made, from

time to time, to engrave on metals bymeans of electricity, seems at last to haveresulted in tho attainment of somethingpractical. An ingenious mechanic hasproduced an invention by which a metalplate, upon which a design is drawn witha chemical ink of some kind, is slowlyrotated with the face vertical, and severalother similar plates, graded in size, aroalso slowly rotated by appropriate me-chanism. The object of the invention is toengrave on tho smaller plates tho designtraced upon tho largest, on differentscales of magnitude, which is accomplish-ed by applying a cutting point to thofaco of each plate, and which is pressedagainst it by moans of an oleotric currentwhenever a blunt point, applied to thelargo plate, encounters tho mk in whichthe design is traced—-the cutting pointsbeing at other ^imes withdrawn. Thopoint presented to tho first plato is mere-ly a " feeler," which deterniiues, by elec-trical agency, whether the ink is beneathit or not. If it is, tho points are pressedinto tho surface of tho other plates; ifnot, they aro withdrawn and preventedfrom, cutting. The feeler and tho burinsall follow a spiral track.

WATER AND OAS PBBXEAXIOIT.WThon iron pipes, somo containing gas

ami tho others water, have been laid incontiguity, the gas has in soino instancesboon found to escape from, one pipe andparmoato through the other, until itmixed with the water in it—a phonomo-nou which, though extraordinary, takesplace simply in accordance with thechemical theory of the subtlo diffusion ofgases.

Tho gas, having onoo escaped from itsown confinement, impregnates the groundlying about the pipos, and thus the pipecontaining the water is surrounded bygas. I t thoroforo occupies tho positionof a porous medium between two fluidsof different densities, and the remedy isobviously to diminish tho porosity of thepipo; this may bo effected cither by theemployment of another material, or bycoating tho iron externally or internallywith some description of protective paint.If this measure were effectually, carriedout, and tho pipos protected externally,

CAST IRON RAILROADS.

Tho adoption of cast iron for streetrailroads and tramways is meeting withmuch favor in Scotland, At a meetingof the trustees of tho Clyde NavigationCompany of Glasgow, tho engineer re-ported that a cast iron tramway whichhad been laid down on tho South Quayfor trial had stood in a very satisfactorymannor tho most severo tests for morethan four months. During this periodthe passing of railway and cart trafficbad been almost continuous, but thetramway showed no signs either of dis-placement in lino or level, or of any weaior need of repair in any way, being to al'intents and purposes as perfect as whenfirst laid down. Undor the circumstanceof the sevoro tests to which the tramwayhad been submitted, the results were considcred very satisfactory, and the furtheruse of this style of cast iron tramway wasrecommended for quays and yards.

Public Schools in Koine.John M. Francis writes to th

Troy Times from Rome as follows :Prior to the entranco of the Italian

government into this city a year agethere existed no system of free publi'schools. This necessity was promptljmet by the government. Great difficult)was encountered at the outset in procuring school rooms and teachers, the opponents of the government and the old Heman aristocracy refusing to loaso buildings for a purpose condemned by thi'opo and the Jesuits. But the government was not to be foiled, and in onmonth after tho entranoe of tho trooppublic school wore opened. Tho government advertised for teachers. Over twhundred candidates applied. Of tliinumber about thirty only wore able tpass the required examination. ,\lauof thoso rejected had long taught in thchurch schools. A sort of temporary nor-mal wus organized, and about four hun-dred are now in attendance, comprisinga large share of tho rejected candidates.The Pope now eaconrage8 tho.r attend-ance ill tins teachers' congress and em-ployment iu tho schools, for many ofthem are nuns ami monks, or the " infer-ior clergy" so-called.

What a Cold Is, and How to Treat I t .One of tho most common expressions

heard, and heard everywhere is, " I havotaken a cold." Whero one man has diedin battle, thousands have died from tak-ing cold ; and of every thousand dying,five hundred havo come to their fate fromnot knowing what a cold is. As a physi-cian, I arn confident that I do not over-state this.

Now, what I propose here is, to tellthe reader just exactly what a cold is andthe principle on which the doctor treat3it. The whole gist of tho matter is verysimple—so much so, indeed, that you willlikely be prompted to ask if that is all;and yet it will be.

A cold means a disturbance from expo-sure of tho circulation; such exposuremay have been to cold, to heat or todraughts. Flowing through tho circula-tory system of man is that material whichwe call the blood. In a state of equipoise,or non-dorangeiuent, every part has ofthis fluid a proper proportion ; thero isjust so much circulating through hislungs, just so much in his live! ; so muchin his foet; every part has enough butnot overmuch; he is comfortable; in.health, in ease.

Now we will mako a cold.Four friends go out for a walk on ft

sloppy winter's day, and all come backwith wet feet. Or the four, on a sum-mer's afternoon, go out for a row on thelako or liver; becoming overheated fromexertion, each throws off his vest or neck-cloth, luxuriating in the breeze, which 80delightfully refreshes. Next day thefour are sick : they all have t iken a cold.One, howovor, hus pneumonia; a second,pleurisy; a third, inf a mnation of h bow-

s ; and the fourth, lumbago. In otherall have the same thing, yet all

avo different diseases. This is their con-it ion. The cold, impinging on the sur-

ace of tho wet feet, or over the exposedaid necks, so contracts the ves-

ils of those parts that all tlie blood isriven out of them; tin's fluid had, ofourso, to g i somewh? e, so it intru-ed on theeirculiiHon <-,t other parts; itecame in reality, through its excess anrritant: it over-stimulated; it. uver-con-ested. In the case of the first patient,:ie lungs wero his weakest organs; theyad not the vit il force to contract uponnd dr:\ IO current intruding on

so tho fluid forcod its-it" into arter-es and capillaries, and gorget them ; this

pneumonia. Tho other parts savedtiemselves only through their superioritality; they possessed the capabilitiesf resistanco and antagonism. In thoecoud caso tho pleura w.is tho weakart; in the.th,e third, the abdominal vis-era; in tho fourth, the muscles of thoack.AVo have, then, our four patients, all af-

icted through a common derangem.ntf their circulatory systems; tho princi->le involved in all being precisely theague. If just here may bo accomplishedhe restoration of the deranged equilib-

rium, the four will bo well on the thirdmorning; if such equipoise may not boecured, one out of tho four will mostikely sucouiub; a second be convertednto a life-long invalid; the third andourth may osoapo with more or less in-ury.

What can be done? Tho indication isrelieve the overburdened part. How?We will take the lung as our example.The organ is full, overfull, of blood ;

hi: man is drowning from tho engorgingluid ; the vessels and capillaries of theiart contract upon themselves to theirwu emptying, because of this ovor-full-1688, which is the destruction of theironicity ; assist now to get away any ofhis excess aud nature will care for the>alance. To get away any part of the

blood is tliun the object. This may beattempted in any way that promises to'ulfill the indication. First, if the feet of

a man lie placed in lint w.it-", it is soonemarked that the parts grow red and en-gorged ; this is because the capillariesire enlarged, and the blood, by gravita-ion and attraction; has filled every part.?his blood must come from somewhere;t comes as much from the overfilled lung

as any other par t ; tho lung, thus, per-laps, unburdoned to the limit of its con-ructilo power, the trouble is ended. A

single hot foot-bath, or a repetition of;heso, has saved a multitude of lives.

A second principlo of relief to a conges-«d part is to get to bed and drink hot;ea until thrown into a profuse perspira-ion. Now, as porspiration is the waterot tho blood, ft man cannot sweat withoutcasting off so much from the volume of;he blood. In this way congestion is of-

n speedily relieved.A third mannor is found in reducing

;he volume through the uso of what arecalled hydragosuo cathartics. A doso ofEpsom salts, for instance, may reduce thequantity of water in a man's blood to thextent of a quart, and this, in a conges-

tion, might well bo his salvation. In•onj unction -with the depletory medicine,;he physician almost invariably prescribes>piates ; this is with tho object of sooth-

ing and quieting the irritated and wor-ried nervous system.

A man recognizes that ho has taken acold through a sense of feverishness andseat that takes possession of him. This islikely his first symptom ; it is the condi-

themost effective ng.-nc es in the regen-eration of Italy, in this oooneotion 1Bjaj state: that Mrs. Dr. Oottld, one of ourown distinguished and philanthropicoountrywomun, is doing a most import-ant work here. Only last March shestarted a free children's, school on herown account. At first thero were onlythree pupils. Now eighty bright-eyedItalian children aro in attendance.Their parents are -ill of the poorer class-es. Tm:ir ages aro from three to four-teen years- girls und uoys. Wfi visitedthis school yesterday. It is remarkableto note what progress the children havemade iu learning. They are instructed

tion of a simply deranged circulation ; atno point is thero a special derangementbut the system at large is in iu a state ofirritability. A quieting, soothing influ-ence, any one may recognize, is just nowthe indication ; it is really tho case thatthe nervous center, lik? an ill offlcor, hasbecomo fussy from fright, ordering, ifyou please, tho troops hero and therowithout any sufficient reason. If tho cen-ter was less impressible, or a trifle moroindifferent, nothing would be felt to bewrong—indeed, nothing would be wrong.Anything which a man has felt to bosoothing to him is.here iu place J fewthings aro bettor than lemonade madevery acid, and if, in conjunction with this,tho patient will take, on going to bed,twenty grains of bromide of potassium,the chances are that next morning hewill get up well. If ho does not, yet toolsno worse, or may be a little better, thenhe is simply to continue his lemonadeand potassium through the day, atleast twolemoM u> be consumed with the

and fifteen or twonty grains of thelatter dusoivod in .1 wine-glass oi water,three times repeated during the day.—(Jndorsnofa a course, it is much more hko-hr that the circulation will be found tocalm itself as do the waters after a storm.

"Wo are, however, in our lesson, to look.at the oppposite aspect of tho matter:perhaps *'h>' patient prows worse insteadof better. A jonse of fullness is felt in «whead, or oppression in tho chest. This isbecause a weak pari is b 'ing over-flooded—the weak point, physioaUy. nf the indi-vidubl. A man oan always learn ot suoh.weak places through a cold. He has nowthe conditions and indications found uuddescribed with the four rowers. Now istho call for relief loud and pressing, i tis in the condition of a country overrunaw I overburdened with its own troops ;these must be gotten awwy, allot them,and tho quicker the better. Here, then,is the demand for the hot foot-bath, thosweating medicines and the dimvhes, thecathartic, and, il' the individual bo offull habit and plethoric.it may he nec-

. to destroy the troops iu bulk byag. This last, however, is seldom

necessary; proper generalship will saveboth country and troops. ,

Important Hallway Couforonce.Tin! arrivals in this cily of ropresenta-

tjvesoftho luanagcin int of the Pennsyl-vania, tho Tolo lo, Tiffin ami Eastern, thoMansfioM, Coldwater and I>ako Michi-gan, the Flint & Pen- Marquette, and theToledo. Ann Arbor fend Northern Rail-way Companies, for the purpose of Con-foroiioe with the Toledo Railroad Xrustoos and with ea'jh othor in regard to in.-pon ling and projooted connections ;it thispoint, wore announced in yesterday'sCommercial.

Tho tmnnoss of the visit was enteredupon at the Oliver House on Wednesdayevening, an'd oontinued through the fore-noon of yestordav. The main pointssought to be settled by the conferencewere—1. The routo to bo finally adopt-ed for tho Toledo, TifKn & Easternfnrn the tangent of the Dayton & Michi-gan track on tho cast side, to the propos-ed bridge across the river to tho depot onAsh street. 2. The terms on which thenew roads from Michigan shall use thetrack of the T., T. & 12. Eoad from theMichigan line to the city. '•'<• What con-ne tions and relations with reference totraffic shall bo established between the»!vmo roads.

Without stopping to detail the processby which the conclusions of this confer-onco wen- reached, wo may state themsubstantially as follows:

1. Mr. Thomas A. Scott, speaking fortho Pennsylvania Company, which is tocontrol the new Eastern Road, approves,fully, tho location of the bridge, depotgrounds, &O., in the north part of thecity ; and in that connection is in doubtonly whether the routo from tho tangentof tho Dayton & Michigan Bond to thebridge shall bo the one selected by theBoard of Trustees, approaching tho riverfrom the rear of tho sixth ward, or theone along the east bank of the river. Bispresent inclination is clearly in favor ofthe latter line; but for the more readydetermination of thfl question, he has di-rected tho preparation of tho requisiteengineering data.

'2. It. was agreed, by Mr. Scott and theofficers of the Toledo, Tiiiin & EasternRoad—(1) that tho Flint & Pere Mar-quetto and the Toledo, Ann Arbor &Northern Roads shall ui common use andcontrol the trunk between the depot atAsh street and the Michigan State line;(2) that depot accommodations shall befurnished for said roads at the formerpoint; and (3) that they shall havo thefree and common use of the bridge andtho main track to the common point oftransfer with tho Luke Shore, tho D.vy-ton & Michigan, and the Atlantic & LakeErie Roads, on the east side of the river,the latter privileges to be subject, ofcourse, to an equitable rental.

These points seem to dispose of all ques-tions likoly to interfere with mutual, ami-cablo and advantageous arrangementsbetween the Eastern and Northern Roads,and to settles a matter of the gravest con-corn for the people of Toledo. It will boborno in mind that a connection betweenthe East and South and tho North, suchas is thus arranged for, has from the lirstbeen a leading and cherished object oftho people of Toledo in the expenditurewhich they aro now making ; and thprospect of so happy a result will b • vergratifying to them. Tho only groumfor doubt in. the case rested on some uncertainty as to Mr. Scott's views in tbpromises; but when he so freely declarehis policy to be "Free Trado in Railwotraffic," and that ho was willing to takhis chances of commanding business oequal terms, the way to a satisfactory arlangoment scorned open. Wo understanthat W. L. Webber, Esq., Director, upoibehalf of the Flint & Pere Marquette, anDr- S. H. Douglass, 1'resident, onof the Toledo, Ann Arbor & XortlurRoads, were entirely satisfied with thbasis agreed upon.

In addition to tho conclusions abovmentioned, Mr. Scott gave some indications of his policy in regard to his Toledconnection, which will interest our eitizens. l ie said ho contemplated the construction of a bridgo across tho riveabove tho present Lake Shore bridge (unless he should unite with Uie Dayton <fMichigan Road in tho one proposed bit), with a view of a connection with thRoads on the Middle Ground and the o<tablishment of a passenger depot in thavicinity. Should this be found practicabla, he would then like to connect sucldepot with tho one on Ash street by thmeans of a track to be laid in the bed cthe old Manhattan Canal. Though noyet decided upon, Mr. Scott expressedstrong inclination for this arrangemenHe says his plans are to be with referenc , not to any trade that may now bin Toledo, but to that which is so certaito be found here in the future for whicRailroads are being built.

Tho data requisite for deciding and ar-ranging tho details of the matters heinamed will at once bo prepared, and it :expected that within ten days or thereabouts wo shall know more about them.

In this connection we aro glad to bable to stato, on authority of Dr. Douglass, that the Toledo, Ann Arbor & Northern Company will be prepared to contracfor the construction, furnishing and running of its road, within ten days fromtho time at which the arrangements abov<named are definitely made. The svibscription of stock requisite to this habeen made, and the parties prepared tclose the contract. Not only so, but tht,same parties propose to continue the roadnorth to OWOWO.

The Missouri Democracy.ST. Lor IS, Jan. 9.—The address of the

Democratic State Ceiitrul Commit Iferred to in a previous dispatch, will bepublished to-morrow. It reviews tho effects of the BO-oalled x"«sive policy iiMissouri and recommends its applicatioiin the Presidential campaign. It says"Tho State government, which was chos«n with tho assistance of Democratsvotes, has fulfilled all the reasonable expectations on which thoso votes were castI t has given us a just and economical administration of affairs of the Common-wealth, which has recognized its indebt-edness to the element which elected it bjcalling into the service a full proportionof patriotic Democrats, whose high char-acter did not exempt them from virtuaostracism during the rule of the proscrip-tivo party. It demanded other qualifica-tion! for public duties and honors thanthe simple one of a demonstrative loyal-ty, i»nd changed society, disordered anddisquieted by painful and compulsoryagencies, devised to maintain the powerof a minority, into a healthful body pol-litic, reposing contentedly on tho con-sciousness of self-government. The con-teat of 1870 was not without its materialeffect upon the Democracy. If thoyemerged from that struggle with a mani-fest creed, the change was a simple self-tvdjuBtinent in the structure of an alterednational Constitution—a recognition otamendments which, in their inchoatecondition, they had opposed, and an ac-quiescence in the new order of thingswhich those amendments had actuallyproduced. Tho corner stone of their creedis still tho national Constitution. Thoymedtiate no other reaction than the res-toration of the Constitution to its legiti-mate authority; the restitution of thoprivileges wliioh have been taken awayin defiance of it, and tho stern subjuga-tion of power to its clear restrictions."

In alluding to national affairs the ad-dress condemns military interference intho States, and says: " It was in the dis-tant proconsular provinces that the mili-tary power reposed which afterwardsoverthrew the Roman Republic; i t wasin tho applauded destruction of the liber-ty of these remote dependencies that thearmy learned how to destroy the libertiesof the Roman people in the end.

i.i), on Saturdayat about 4.30 P. Itf., in the hall of theGrand Central Hotol, and died at 11o'clock Sunday morning. The murderwas a foul and cowardly one, two shotsbeing fired without warning or opportu-nity to defend, one taking effect in the1 owels, proving fatal, and tho second in

boulder. We have neither space nortaste to gormandize on tho affair, andthose who want details must go to thodailies. STOKES was immediately arrest-ed, and waits trial in the Tombs.

THE Democratic Statemitteo of Missouri held

Central Com-a meeting on

Monday, and, after full and free discus-sion, resolved in favor of applying tho" passive policy,' so successful in thatState, to national politics. An addresswas adopted, the telegraphic synopsis ofwhich will be found hi another column.

— Tho Democratic Stito Contr.il Com-mittee of Illinois met at Springfield thesame day, and unanimously, though notformally, endorsed the position and viewsof the Missouri Democracy.

— There is ono serious obstacle, if nomore, to applying tho " passive policy '•to national polities, and attempting on alarger field what was done in that State.And that is : there aro not dissatisfied,disaffected, recalcitrant Republicansenough in many of the States, to take theload as in Missouri, if even to compose anelectorial ticket, that is, not enough pos-sessed of sufficient backbono to inducethem to follow their convictions and re-fuse to support GKANT.

A CHICAGO dispatch says that beforeleaving that city for tho West, tho GrandDuke turned over to the Mayor some 30or 40 begging letters] received by himwhile there, all from females. One younglady(?), from western Now York, advoca-ted her claim " in six closely-written pa-ges for a sum to enable her to marry awidower whomsho loved dearly." As thefool-killer doesn't make annual tripsthrough tho length and breadth of thocountry such letters can easily be ac-counted for; but why tho Mayor of Chi-cago should increase tho injury and adddisgrace to our reputation as a people bymaking them public is beyond compre-hension. Ho should have administeredthe trust and aid confidod to him by theGrand Duke to thoso " deemed worthy "in a quiet way.

A. T. STEWART sworo before tho White-washing Committee that the "GeneralOrder business was a monopoly and in-jurious to trade :" a "ttuisanfee" as well asan extortion ; and that, he had so advisedthe President, but without LEET & Co.being removed or their plundering in theleast abated. Tho President's confiden-tial and private Secretary, IIDKACKPOK-TEK, is said to bo the partner of LEET,with more than a strong presumptionthat the 1'ivsitlriitmay share in the spoils.Is not this tho interpretation of GAELSCHTTBZ'6 remark about 'ithe power stron-ger than the Secretary of the Treasury "which sustained theso abuses ?

THE Courier of last week, published andcontrolled by the Chairman of tho Re-publican City Committee, placed Dr.DOUGLASS, the Democratic Mayor of thiscity, in nomination for re-election : on anindependent or law and order ticket, ofcourse. As Mayor DOUGLASS has beendoing nothing more or less than ho waspledged to do before his election, and waselected to do, and as tho Democratic partycan do nothing less than stand bylim, the Courier's nomination, if designed;o deprive tho Democracy of a candidate,is premature.

tn mnking the nomination thebriefly sWMies the life of Mr.TaCVand til . the following paragraphsto prove that he ought not to be "ous to the i democracy :

Though Mr. Trumbull has been a pro-minent Republican, ho has <m ible oo uperior to tho. behestsof party. <>,-, tho sttbjeqtsxif tho im]ineiit. of Andrew Johnson,of maintainingi he just I if the States, of remilitary usurpation, of sustaining the in-dependence of tiie Supreme ('our; in opposition to executive and tegUlatii

• itj to tin- Saq i><>mingo swindle, of reformation erf the eivilservice, o f ' i thorough exposure of thecorruptions of the Administration, and ofgeneral amnesty to the late rebels—«otto onumerate other measures—Mr. Tiunjrbull has follow.'d the dictates of his ownjudgment. This he has done in oontemptof maledictions from men high and Lowin the ranks of the Republican party, fewot'wii-. - ir, have dared to questionthe purity of his motives, and not one ofwhom WM ever able to overthrow the arguments with which ho fortified his posi-tion.

Concurring generally in opinion uponthese subjects with tin1 most anl gbtenedmembers of the Democratic paity, doesnot Mr. TruuibuU's oourse furnish u strongreason for his support by that party at acrisis when nearly allot' these questionswill be put at issue in the approachingPresidential campaign '4

But it may bo said there few South-ern m'aloontenta like Stephens, Toomba,and Forsyth, who havo declared that theywill not support for the Presidency sucha man as Lyinan TrumbulL Well, sup-pose they will not. Not to speak of theeffrontery of these unpunished traitorsundertaking to dictate the next Demo-cratic candidate for the Presidencjfico it to say that if Trumbull and (3r •••'<

• the field as rival nominees, i;>nl thefriends of TrumbuU can only contrive to

Davis, Stephens, Toombp, and Por-syth to take the ;!u::ij> for (/rant, theywill insure Trumbull's election by anoverwhelming majority. Eves a well-founded suspicion that thoso architects ofruin favored the success of Grant overTrumbull would kill Grant stone d Etd.

The dilemma of the Democracy is evi-dent. They must nominate a candidate'with a good w.ir record, and who is soundon the three constitutional amendments,or lose the whole North. Such a candi-date would doubtless lose some votesamong tho 'Southern malcontents. ButLyinan Trumbull would lose no more ufthis class of voters than would WilliamS. Qroesbeck or Sanford E. Church or anyother regular Democrat with such a re-cord and on such a platform as wouldijive to the party a reasonable assuranceof success in the North and West; whileTrumbull, by a largo and enthusiasticRepublican following, would more thanmake up for the defection of a small knotof unhung secessionists in the South, andhere and thoro an untamed Copperheadin the Xorth.

Thoso issues of tho last fifteen yestrawhich have separated Mr. Trumbull fromthe regular Democratic organiza:ion havegone into history. New questions nowloom on tho horizon, and on these Mr.TrumbuU and a large body of his Re-publican associates are in close accordwith the «TI it mass of tho Democraticparty. The cordial union of these twoelements is essential to success in thu ap-proaching Presidential struggle. TheseRepublicans will follow tho load andshare the fortunes of Mx. Trumbull; butthe large majority of them will not em-bark on board a purely Democratic craftunder a straight-out Democratic pilot.Mr. Truidbull is of Demooratio training,has held high trusts under the Democrat-ic party, and now agrees in opinion onthe most important questions with thewisest statesmen of that party. Why,then, should they not. accept him as theircandidate for 1S72' The only answerwhich can be given is at hand. In thopast few years ho has differed with theDemocratic policy and the Democraticparty. But that policy has been explo-ded, and the party which sustained it has

How is that for agrazing country? If it keeps coming,'ood-by cattlo in Northern Colorado."YhicD picture is certainly not very flat-cring to colonists who have been told ofipen and balmy winters, and that cattlovould turn up their noses at cured hay,•referring to crop the nutritious grasses.

t probably the exception will onlyprove the rule,

Tinc war of the two Radical factions in\", v.- Orleans still continues. Gov. VTAIL-

a'8 House has possession ofbe Capitol, while the Custom House body

runs in a hail. Tho Senate don't get aquorum together anywhere, a large num-oer of the members being off on a gun-oat excursion. Bo that no bloodshed re-ults, wo don't know that wo havo moohion: sympathy with either; side, than the-,,man had in the ponding tight betweenler husband aud t'other bgar.

not won a national victory in thofouiteen years; and moreover, andis conclusive on the point wo aro now dis-ousaing, you oan never convince the fouror five hundred thousand Republicanswho hail Mr. Trumbull as thoir leaderthat in his differences with tho Demo-cratic party he was not tho truer Demo-crat, and was not right whilo the partywas wrong.

Mr. Trumbull is a statesman of emi-nent ability and long experience; he is aprofound constitutional lawyer; ho is aman of spotless integrity and raro cour-age, and is admirably fitted to take tholead in the grand movement for Reformupon which the country has so earnestlyentered.

Another article in the same issue attrib-utes tho defeat of the Democracy in 18G0to the defection of a largo number ofDemocratic leaders with a largo follow-ing of voters, and adds :

As it was with tho Democratic partythen, so it is with the Republican partynow. There are many distinguished load-ers among the Republicans who jire ut-terly opposed to Grant's Administration,and especially to his re-nomination, andwho, under no conceivable circumstances,will vote for his ro election. But theyboar no proportion to the. Republicanmasses who cherish the same sentiments,and if the occasion arises will carry outtheir convictions at tho polls. Grant isweak among the Republicans iu the Sen-ate, as the debate on Trumbull's resolu-tion demonstrated. He is weak in theHouse, as the discussion and voto on theSan Domingo and telegraph swindlesproved. But ho is far weaker with thatsolid body of Republicans who neitherhold nor desire office, than with their in-dependent representatives in tho twobranches of Congress.

The only really embairassing quostionwhich arises out of this state of things isthis: Have the Democrats sufficient sa-gacity to seo the drift of tho tide, andcourage and liberality enough to embarktheir fortunes upon it? Or in plainerwords, have they sense and independenceenough to win the next Presidential elec-tion by joining with tho anti-Grant Re-publicans upon a National Reform plat-fyrm ?

Is it exactly modest for tho Sun to asktho nearly 3,000,000 Democratic voters tothrow themselves at the foot of tho 500,-000 or so disaffected Republicans ? but ifGrant can be beaten in that way and noother, it might possibly bo well for thoDemocracy to eat a very large pioco ofhumble pie. Just now, ho wo ver, we aronot dispos'ed to bite.

Haviug successfully traverse 1 theseveral counts in tho Times indictment totho last, ami main one, that of " slanderingthe President, Mr. SCIIURZ said :

" What do they call slandering thoPresi lout? Let us see what I did say—whi ther it can be construed as a slander.I did say that the general order businessof Now York was a great abuso and asystem of plunder. I was borne out inthat statement by the official report oftho Retrenchment Committee. Was thisa Blander on the President 'i I did statethat tho merchants in New York hadprotestod against it as an outrageous law,which is a matter of record also. Wasthat a slander against the President V Idid state that the Secretary of the Treas-ury sont a commission to New York to in-

ite tho matter ; that this commis-sion reported against it, which is a mat-ter of record. Was that a slander on thePresidents I did state that tho Hetreiieh-

(,'ommitt-:e investigated the matterand l"und it to bo a great abuse, uud re-

I in favor of its abolition, which is amatter of record. Is that a slander onthe President ? I did state that the Sec-rotary of tho Treasury had written theCollector of Now York two letters, urg-ing against the abuse and that it be donoaway with. This is a matter of rec-ord. Is that a slander on the President 'iThen I drewthe conclusions: task wheth-er there is any member of this body whowill say that it was most natural—nay,most imperative—that if, spito of theremonstrance of the merchants of NowYork, in spito of the records of the inves-tigation committee, in spito of the letterand pronounced opposition of the Secre-tary of tho Treasury that abuso was stillkept up—then there must bo a powerstronger than decent respect for publicopinion, stronger than the Secretary oftho Treasury, to sustain It, for if that pow-er was not stronger than a respect forpublic opinion the abuso would havo suc-cumbed to the remonstrances of the mer-cantile community of Now York. If thepower had not been stronger than thoSecretary of the Treasury the abusewould have succumbed to tho adverseopinion of that officer. I asked the ques-tion, who, where, is that stronger power ?I asked the question. I did not answerit. I respectfully submit that the gentle-men who indulge in tho business of vili-fying the Senator from Illinois and my-self for asking it, have not by their slan-ders furnished an answer to it that willbe satisfactory to the country. I believe,when nothing elso can he brought upagainst thoso who denounce tho officersof the government than personal villi-faction tho country will understand thereason.

The Rochester Kiot.A mob gathored without justification

and tired upon without reason has beenthe occasion of riot and bloodshed in thecity of Rochester, which aro thoroughly

eeful to thoso who championedmorality by mob violence and thoso whosustained order by a military massacre.

Tho immediate cause of tho disturbancewas the arrest of a negro charged withtho perpetration of a horrible crime. Hisguilt was generally admitted, but thereseems to have been no reason to believethat he would escape the proper legalpunishment for his crime. The jail wassufficiently strong to hold him, and thecourt before which lie would in due timehave been arraigned was not suspected ofany unwillingness to punish him if foundguilty. The only shado of justificationwhich the vengeance of lynch law canclaim was thus totally wanting. Thocrime itself was one -which naturallyaroused tho hot indignation of every de*cent man, but there was no excuse forthat indignation to manifest itself in thotumult and violence of a mob.

A mob, nevertheless, gathered/and, sur-routtding tfaejaii; demanded the surren-der of the prisoner. Tho police wore

•it to protect the jail, but the authori-rith the fondness for the use of the

military which has grown up since thecivil war, called out several companies ofmilitia. If they really apprehended ariot which should uot confine itself whol-ly to yells and threats, there is no reasonto blame them fov summoning the sol-diery ; but a Weapon so dangerous shouldhave been reserved until its use becameabsolutely necessary, and should thenhave been wielded with coolness and in-telligence. The militia, however, wereentirely without discipline, or were com-maaded by an incompetent officer. WhethBor they fired by the order of tho latter, o?fired without orders, is not yet certain ;but no one who reads the account of tl.eaffair can doubt that the tiring was un-nocesssry and unjustifiable. It was thereckless act of mc-ii destitute of disci-pline and nervously apprehensive of dan-ger. With the militia held in reserve thepolico could in all probability have quell-ed tho disturbance. The firing of themilitary dispersed tho mob in front of thejail, only to madden its members and leadthem to the commission of further disor-ders in localities where the immediatevengeance of tho bullet and bayonet wasnot to be feared The disturbance, thatmight huve been completely quelled bythe uso of wise and usual means, was thusfanned into-fiercer it.-tme by the recklessact of nervous militiamen.

The lesson is obvious Whilo no pallia-tion can bo offered for riot and attemptedlynch law, tho unjustifiable use of themilitary is to be reprobated with equalSternness. Thchabitof calling out thesoldiery on every pretext of apprehendeddisorder lias grown far too rife during thelast few years. If tho Rochester riotshould teach the people the folly of mobs,and the authorities the criminality of aineilkss use of tho militia, it will nothave been wholly without its lesson toall N. Y. World.

He disclaimed any intention oright then or hereafter to discuss In hipulpit questions of general politics, thc tar111', finance, civil scrrlce relorin, etc, b"maintained it both his right and duly tidiscuss those moral questions which beadirectly upon the welfare of our local communlty, and therefore be had to do will

and political parties, for the lim<, so far and only so far as temperance

and law and good order h«d to do wit!politics. He pronounced both partiesequally corrupt, equally likely to bend theknee to the liquor tniMie, and equally unlike-ly, by resolution, re-nomination or other.tii*e, to sustain t'he oity authorises In theiilaudable and pia;se-wor;l:y attempts toregulate and restrain the trafllc in intoxi-cating beverases and the billiard saloons,with bar attochments. He maintained thata vote next spring in no way involved Statior national issues, in no way committed anelector to vote next November for GHANTor SUMNKK or TRtJMBUlL or HBOTBIcoi VoomiKES or any other man, and thaiit was, therefore, the du'y of all good andlaw and order loving citizens to vote formen, without regarJ to their parly allilia-Jiion, who would seek to enforce the lawsand throw wholesome restraints aroundyoung and olJ. We :an not fallow t h /Rev. speaker through his arguments in de-fense of his position, but suflico it to saythat a strong appeal was made from hidstandpoint, and what honest or good citi-zen will dare say that his standpoint is notthe only tenable one? The "liquor ring"is doing its best certainly to aid Mr. FISKin accomplishing his object: doing it Intheir denunciation of Democrats and Re.publicans, as $uch, who do not approve oftheir persistent aud reckless violation ofall laws, human and divine.

Annually our daily exchanges claim andare entitl td to spicial notice in our col-umns, and it, therefore,gives us pleasure ogi\e prominent, place in our local co'umnsto the folio.vingextract from the 1872 pros-pectus of the Detroit Free Press :

At no time since its foundation has thcFree Press imi such facilities as now forgathering news, for currylnx put the ideasentertained bj the publishers or making ita model paper—a journal which shall standwithou a successful rival in Michigan asa Newspaper.

Improvement has been the order of theday in every department of 2/ie Free /'/•- -for tlic last year, and will continue to beduring the coming year.

The year 1852 will be one of Immense political interest and excitement. The meet'ings of the National and State Conventions;the nominations for President and Vice-Pres.dcnt; the issues between the greatparties ; the important policies of financea lid revenue to be discussed ; the electionsin the various States : and, to the people ofMichigan, the new apportionment of Congrcflsmen, and the division of the State intonew districts, together with our generaland local political situation mid prospects,will be fully laid before the people, as canalone be done by a Michigan paper, the organ ol a great party, a member of the Asso-ciated Press, and one whose enterprise andenergy will be satisfied with nothing lessthan the very best newspaper in the Stateof Michigan. The year will be essentiallya political campaign year, and the FreePrets, in all Its editions, will be a thoroughDemocratic Campaign Paper, as well asnewspaper.

Besides this, the Free Press promises, andmaintains as well as promises, a very valu-able Literary Department, with poetry,tales, sketches, etc.; also a condensed butfull and well arranged department of StateNews; full local, foreign, financial andcommercial departments, with regularweekly matter for the farm aud fireside. Itwill be a welcome journal to business men,literary men, politicians, aud all classes ofreaders. Its terms arc lower than similarjournals published either East or West.Dnili/, $3 a year ; Tri-tceekly, $4 ; WeJclu )sof ten, $1.80 each : of twenty, $1.50each. We heartily commend the severaleditions to the readers of the Auuus ashandsomely printed, live papers.

Our readers, especially those living inthis city and vicinity, wKI find in an arti-cle in anoihercolumn, "An Important Ridway Conference," something that can notfail both to interest aud gratify them. Onedifficulty has ail along stood In the way ofour railroad,—that of getting from theState line into Toledo aud making free anduntrammeled connections with any or allrailroads leading thence east, southeast,south or southwest. This difficulty, theInsi in the way, has now been overcome.The arrangement does not put us in thepower or at the mercy of the Peunsylvaiaor any other road ; that road does not gob-ble up our road by the aid of stock yicen it,as was once proposed, but simply givesus free access to Toledo and its depots ov-er the road to be built from the river tothe State line by the Trustees of the Toledo!und, and for the usual rental the use of thenew bridge and necessary tracks to connect-ing prints with other reads The sameprivileges are accorded to thc Pere Mur-quette. Aud now we expect to see theactual work of constructing the road sooncommence and its early ^completion, theBoard of Directors, as we understand it,having such proffers of aid from reliableparties as will preclude the possibility ofdelay or failure.

Cultivating Fruit Orchards.There continue* to be considerable rlif-

ferrence of opinion as to whether frui-orchards should be cultivated or not.We think tho opinion of lnntty experienc-ed cultivators, which have always boonour own aud which, from time to time hasboon given in our columns, ought to haveweight. We think that youn<; aapfe orpear orchanls can be cultivated withsafety for three or four years, after settingout among the most of the least exhaust-ing vegetables, especially lettuce, beets,cabbage, encumbers, tomatoes, cantel-oupes, squashes etc., until the trees reach

. from two and a half to three inches in di-auietur, when tho ground should be putin meadow grass and remain untouchedby the plow eirer after, all the manure-ro-quired being a good top-dressing everyother year. We are firmly of the opinionthat where fruit trees arrive at a stage•where they are able to take care of them-selves, they do decidedly better in grass-than in anything else, and this grass ro-turns a heavier crop of hay than timothyor clover, and is also excellent for pasturefor both cattle and swine. We havo seenhundreds of pear and apple trees ofchoico varieties so situated, annuallyloaded with fruit and the trees in a heal-thy condition. We havo still upon ourpremises six pear trees, believed to beover a hundred years old, standing in sodwhich has been disturbed only once infifty years, as we are informed, being inour possession over twenty-five years—that annually produce heavy crops, andthree of them are still in a thrifty con-dition, each of which were yielding goodcrops of choico pears from grafts insertedin fruit-bearing branches seven or eightyears ago ! This would seem- to be prettystrong evidence in favor of the non-culti-vation of standard pears.

As to dwarf pear and apple trees thetreatment should be quito different. Wecultivate the soil about the samo as anyportion of tbe garcUsu for vegetables, ap-plying every fa)? » good top-dressing ofstable manure. If any of our trees growtoo rapidly and are disposed to becomelarger tbah we wish them, they are root-pruned—that is, the spade is sunk downas deeply as it will go from two and ahalf to three feet from the stem, and thisshould be done every Spring1, rf neces-sary. If they spread too rapidly weprune them to bring them into shape andproper size, and havo yet to see the firstsign of and injuiy resulting-.—Oerman-tote n Telegraph.

Transplanting Trees mid Vinos.The great difficulty to bo eneonnterec

i;i transplanting trees, vines, or plants oBay sort is, that in most instances man;of tho roots are severed from the stem an<are left where they originally grew. It isel lom practicable to remove all the rootwith a tree or bush. In case every littlro t and rootlet of a tree could be takenup without injury and be transplant cicarefully into a congenial seed-bed, tinplant would suffer no perceptible injur;in consequence of removal. The chieiidea in taking up and transplanting treesTines, or flowering plants, is to place throots in their new bed, as nearly as mai¥e practicable, in the same position asthey grew.

The former part of tbe growing seasonis a far better time to transplant any-thing, than in the late Autumn, for thefollowing reasons:

1. That a tree may endure therigera oWinter with the least injury, the rootmust have a vital hold on tho soil. Whentrees and vines are transplanted in latAutumn, the roots will have no vital holeon tho soil during the Winter. Hencethe branches must suffer more or less dur-ing cold weather, because this vital unionhas been severed.

2. Every tree and vine is a tMng olife. Sap and moisture are constantlyevaporating from tho buds, twigs ancbranches, even after the growing season iended. Hence, to supply such wastemoro or less moisture must be taken upby tho roots and convoyed to the branch-es, even in tho winter. To prove thathere is moro or less circulation of thesap during the Winter months, lotalargt,branch of a tree be girdled in. late Air-tuinn, sufficiently deep to cut off all thesap-wood, and all above the girdle wildry and wither before Spring, while other branches, not girdled, will remain greeiand full of sap. Mutilating tho rootsoperates like girdling just in proportionto tho extent ot tho mutilation. If rheground where trees are standing be frozensolid and deep for a long period, the treeswill often be seriously injured by thevaporation of more moisture from thbark and buds than could be supplied bytho frozen roots.

By transplanting trees and vines at theformer part of the growing season, theywill be required to stand only a few weekswithout a vital hold in the soil. The bet-ter period, therefore, to remove trees 01any sort, either deciduous, or evergreensor vines—is in the former part of thogrowing season, unless they are taken upwith frozen earth. Trees may live andgrow satisfactorily after having beentransplanted in the lato Autum ; yet, thesame trees would havo succeeded still bet-ter, if they had been removed in theSpring, before the buds had expanded.—N. Y. OUrter.

Balky Horses.The brain of a horse seems to entertain

but one thought at a time: for this rea-son, continued whipping is out of thequestion, and only confirms his stubbornreaolve. But if you can by any meanschange the direction of his mind, givehim a new subject to think about, ninetimes out of ten you will have no furthertrouble in starting him. As simple atrick as a littl.- pepper, aloes, or the like,thrown back on the tongue, will oftensucceed in turning his mind to tho tastein his mouth. The pair of cattle to a logchain around tho horse's neck, is an intri-cate and expensive remedy, and a goodmany people don't havo a yoke of cattlehandy for the occasion.

A simpler and cheaper remedy that willresult far differently is to take a couple oiturns of common wrapping twine, suchas grocers use, around tho foro leg justbelow the knee, tight enough foe thehorse to fool, and tie in a bow knot. At"tho first cluck he will generally go danc-ing off, and after going a short distanceyou can get out and remove the cord, toprevent injury to tho tendon in your fur-ther driving.

Tho first lesson in this simple processwas in Lexington, Ky.; subsequent ex-perience has proved its utility when ap-plied to balky horses. The philosophy ofthe appliance is- something on. the samoprinciple as that whereof wo once readfor preventing hens from scratching uptho garden. Put g;iffj or spurs on thehons, reversing, them—instead of thepoints up, have Hiftn, pointing down-ward. Then, when the hon lifts a leg toscratch, as it descends tho spur catches theground, placing that foot forward ; andthe stroko with the othor leg is atttondedwith like results, until the hen walks her-self right of. the garden.—Turf, Field andFarm.

EDITORS.—If an editor omits anythinghe isloay-. If*he speafcs of'things as theyare, people are mad. If he glosses over—Muooths down the rough points—he isbribed* I£hccalls things by their rightnames, he is unfit for tho position of aneditor- If he does not furnish his read-ers witki jekes, ho ia a mullet. If he does,he is a B»ttle-head; lacking of stability.If he condemns the wrong,, he is a goodfellow, but lacks discretion. If he letswrongs and injuries go unmentioned, huis a ooward. If he fails to uphold a pub—lio man, he does itfto gratify spite—he is atool of a cliquo, or belongs to the " outs."If ho indulges in personalities, he is ablackguaid ; if he does not, his paper isdull and insipid.
