Government Telegraphy.
We lire not sure how imich polit
loil significance there is in the pro
posed assumption, by tlie Ooverti
:rient. of the monopoly and control
of the telegraph in this country, but
vo fear that among its results a cen
sorship for partisan purposes will
not bo the least dangmous.
There are, doubtless, many im
provements we may borrow with
profit from our trans-Atlantic friends,
but the introduction ot exotic sys
tems should be made only alter eare
fid investigation, and not at all, we
think, when they are adjudged ns
failing to give salistaetion at home.
English experience ol this system,
covering a short space o! time, does
not pronounce favorably upon it hs
conducive to the best interests ot
the public. On the contrary, numer
ous instances have been cited "'here
’'Government officials took tha tin
warrantable liberty ol withholding,
delaying, and even garbling messa
ges that were sent to the press by
regular correspondents. ’
This intermeddling with private
dispatches has justly aroused the in- ' ,
dignant reprobation of the English | i
people, and a strong sentiment is i
naturally establishing il-seli with the j
avowed end of throwing off the sys
tem as a public evil.
It certainly strangely occurs that
just as they are pronouncing so de
cidedly against its want of ,* xe lll j•
tjfjn iron) government misuse, smm ;
of our papers an 1 stVomimmi slxoild
1m urging its adoption heie. *!•>► j
can Le neconutrl Tin’ in no otlier
way than that it furnishes exactly |
the medium desired bv unsenipidoii
officials to obtaiu iutormation de
signed, in some cases, especially. |
vvt for ill mi. it is also obi ions that. |
witli a government of more popular j
bins, the system cannot fail to lie !
more odious and dangerous hers j
than there.
In partisan hands the telegraph |
would be made the medium id' lla- !
grant violations ot official aim j
governmental dignity. Messages |
through the Dost Office are secure i
under cover of an inviolable seal. J
but the equally private telegram
must be read and re-read before it
reaches its destination. If unsuited
to the political taste or fancy of the
partisan inspector, it in garbled and
doctored accordingly, if it reaches
its delivery at all.
Moreover, it establishes a censor
ship not in consonance with the
6y i k.sfeeV; lr nemVil'j i^^-u,^ 1 '' I ,.i'/
motion of public benefit.
Let it remain where it is—with the
people, who are the proper custo
dians of their own affairs, and let
the Government expend its spare en
ergies in this field to the continued
and much desired improvements in
the Lost Office Department.
The City of the Monuous.
A correspondent of 1 lie N. Y
Observer, writing recently from Salt
Lake City, speaks of the “city of
*ue Mormons’’ and of the mineral
resources of Utah as follows :
“Salt Lake will, without doubt,
for many yearn to come, remain the
chief city between the Missouri Riv
er and the Pacific Ocean ; it has the
start in population, and substantial
growth ; it also lias the favorable
location and the surroundings, which
insure, for it a commanding influence,
and give to it a prestige which will
not soon pass away. It is surround
eil on all sides by mountains, con
taining rich deposits of valuable
ores, which are attracting more at
tention to-day, than any other min
ing field on the American Continent ;
and the tracks of bullion on the
streets, and car-loads id precious ore
about iu storage rooms, would con
vince even the most skeptical of fir
ing visitors, that th reports about
the mineral wealth of Utah are not
altogether chimerical
Professional miners and experts
aav that the public has hut little idea
of the extent and richness of the de
posits, which are yet to he devel
oped and worked; that the rich
veins and lodes, which now look so
inviting, are but the mere blossoms
of what is yet to be uncovered.
Miners, prospecters, speculators,
and capitalists, arc already on the
ground in large numliers ; our streets
are filled with men from all parts of
the globe, for our people are truly
ecumenical, all attracted here bv the
magnetism of the coveted metals.
Buildings are springing up on every
band, to supply (lie increasing de
mauds for business and dwelling
bouses ; business men aro investing
their capital, and making extensive
preparations to profit by the trade
consequent on the anticipated giowth
of the city. Men who have watch
ed the • signs of the times,” and
the change in the business, civil,
political and moral status of Salt
Lake for the- last two ar three years,
liavp no Iksitancy in predicting
tluit from fifty to Mrf*ntv-fivo tliou
sand people will, in all ‘probability,
have their homes here inside of three
yearn.”
A lioon Lxampi.e. —Gov. IToffuan,
of New York, in his late message to
tile Legislature of that State, sets a
good example to the executive fra
ternity. ly abstaining from 11 10 dis-1
i c ssn.ji of national politics The j
pn ! is kept dirty enough by thfc !
da'-tding of partisan newspapers.
Men end Women. %
What is it that makes all tmise
men who associate habitually .with
women superior to others who do
no' ? What makes that Woman tyhn
is a ■customed and at ease in the so
ciety of men stipe i >r to her sex in
general? fur ly I eeause they aie
in the habit ol line, graceful, contin
ued conversation with the other sex.
Women in this way lose their frivol
ity, their faculties awaken, their del
icacies and peculiarities untoll ail
their beauty and captivation in the
spirit of intellectual rivalry. And
the men lose their pedantic, rude,
declamatory and stolen manner.—
The coin of the understanding
and the heart, changes continually.
The asperities r<* rubbed oft, their
belter materials polished and bright
ened, and their liehnesr, like the
gold, is wrought into the finer work
manship by the linger* of women
iban it ever could be by those of men.
The iron and steel of ilieir character*
ire hi bleu, like the character and
armor ot a giant, by studs and knots
of good and precious stones, when
they are not wanted for actual war
fare.
A Chicago reporter tlms describes
I'wain in liis lust lecture: “Mr.
Tw.iiu never ijipo>l into pathos,
uni never rose into eloquence, hut
lie kept sledding right ah mg in a
facinating nasal snarl, looking siod
speaking like an embarrassed dea
con telling liis experience, and punc
tuating liis tardv tun w:tli 1 1 10 most
complicated awkwardness of gent lire.
Now lie snapped liis linger : now lie
rubbed Ins hands solilv, like the
• atelier of the champion nine; now
lie caroused his left palm with his
lexter lingou. like the end minstrel
n.in propounding a conundrum : now
lie put his hinds akiinho, liki* a dis
giistc I auctioneer; and now lie
churned the air in the vicinity of liis
imperiled heal with his outspread
; hands, as it lie was lighting mosqui
toes at live Bench.”

A Lilu’Ctian. —Out in Illinois
there is a child, now three month*
! old, weighing but two pounds. Its
■ length is only seven inches, ami its
i face about the size of a watch crys
tal. Its tiny arms are so slender
that a small linger ring can be slip
der. 'This little creature is already
1 making quite a noise in its part of
the world, and hundreds have called
to see it. Its parents are of stand
ard size.

f-ather beds and pillows are greatly
improved by putting them on a
clean grass plot during a heavy
shower ; let the beds become thor
oughly wetted ; turn tliem on both
sides. Let them lie out until thor
oughly dry, then beat them with
rods ; this will lighten the leathers
' and make them mueli more healthful
to sleep on. It removes dust and
rejuvenates I lie leathers.
The women have hit upon a new
; idea, which they believe is destined
jto sweep social vices from tin; face

: the general government pass a law
i providing that all persons who live

I A Pke-Auamite Cannon Bali.!— lt ap
j pears now that ti e pre-Adamite man—: t
! least the American branch of him—knew
all about what we have ticen deluding our
selves was the modern art of war, for, ac
cording to the Halifax (Nova Scotia) Ex
firttt of the 20th ult., a four-pound cannon
ball was found iu a lump of coal taken j
from a depth of 100 feet below the surface
of thi> earth, at the Acadia Coal Mine, Mac
can, Nova Scotia.
The world likes to see women hand
somely dressed and to sneer at them for so
dressing. The actor on the stage who pro
fesses to believe that all women should ,
wear calico and work in the kitchen is al- 1
ways sure of a round of applause from tie
I very man who would look contemptuously

j Bronzed turkeys are said to be a cross
t between the. domestic, or tame, and wild
turkey, and make the finest and strongest
j tiiids. They resemble as closely at possi
|Me the original stock, and look not dis-
I similar to wild birds, and next to them
; weigh the heaviest, fatten the most rapidly,
and can be reared with les9 trouble thau
any other*variety.
The Governor of the State of New York
I says in his message that more than one
thousand hills are passed at each session of
| the Legislature—tin; session is limited to
j one hundred days—making ten hills a day,
I and each to l>e read three times. This is
j fatal to deliberation, and degrades legisla
tion.
As a loser of himself, says the Louisville
Courier, I)r. Livingstone is without n par
allel in history. For our part we can’t see
till! use in spending so much time and mon
ey to find a man who can’t he hired to stay
found, and who is uever happy except
when lie is lost.
What word is that in the English lan
guage, the first two letters of which signi
fy a man, the first three a woman, the firsl
four a great man, and the whole a great

Flunkey ism and Clothes.
In a recent article a writer says: “In
fashion there are three kinds of American
women. There is the kind that despistft
everything foreign, and believes that Amer
ica is sufficient unto itself; there is the
kind that believes in adopting whatever
is good and beautiful; tlicre is the kind
that entertains unspeakable contempt for
native productions, and a blind idolatry for
Europe, right or wrong. The first pos
sesses more patriotism than wisloni; the
second combines artistic with common
sense; the third exhibits the worst phase
of flunkeyism, unrelieved by either art or
j wisdom. The flunkies always go abroad,
and always come home with their heals
filled with folly and their trunks with
[ clothes. Clothes, n.t clothes, are good, but
when clothes are the* best part of a woman
that woman is a failure, and when, in ad
dition to clothes being her better half—or
perhaps her three quarters —this fraction
of a woman attempts to force the rest of
her sex into a servile worship of the gods
of her idolatry, she becomes an unmitiga
ted nuisance, and ought to be exterminated.”

| Tiie Sort of Society wiiicii Hhef.ds
i Fisks. —The New York Evening Post
j moralizes thus:
As long as society is disposed to applaud
smartness, though it be shown at the ex
pense of probit)'; as long as public jour
i nnlisni treats depravity and chicane, not as
serious moral wrongs, but as matters for
reporters’ fun; as long as the spirit of party
covers up dishonesty, defends frauds, winks
at corruption and worships success: as
long ns the mercantile community refuses
to mark every departure from the strictest
disgrace; as long as our young men are al
lowed to believe that vice, because it is for
the moment successful, is the less mean,
base and despicable—we shall continue to
have our Tweeds and Fisks, and even
more hideous spectacles of- the perversion
of qualities that, under other circumstances,
might have become great, beneficent and
admirable.
Movements or the Pope. —One of the
Italian clerical journals, the Cnita Cattolica ,
makes an announcement which seems to
indicate that the departure of the Pope
from Home is an event that may happen
at any moment. It says, in fact, that it
of pub ication and to follow the Holy Fa
ther wherever he may go.’’ Should lie*pro
ceed to France, Switzerland or Germany,
it will 'accompany him, and wherever he
takes up his abode, there the Unita Cattoti
ra will be printed and sent to subscribers
without extra charge. “And perhaps,”
atlds the clerical journal, “the very patient
Fius may be compelled to leave Home
sooner than is expected.”
The heathen Chinee lias one custom
which might be introduced into other lands
with good effect. It is usual to pay all
debts at the commencement of each year,
and, as soon after the Ist of January ns a
householder is free from ail demands, he pla
ces over his door an emblem signifying
t at In' lias arrived at that exalted posi
tion. There is a commendable pride to
put up this cabalistic at a very carlv day.—
This custom prevails throughout the whole
of the Chinese Empire and among all class
es of people, and lie who posts the emblem
the first week of the year enjoys tlie confi
dence of the public, and establishes his
financial standing.
Every man who owns a piece of land
should plant trees along the lanes. It is
due to his children who are to come after
him. It is a beautilul custom in Germany
to set out one fruit tree for every child
horn. This is the special property of the
child for whom it is set out. He protects
it and cultivates it. and as he grows up In
looks upon his tree as a twin brother. A
feeling of affection and veneration is thus
engendered, and a love for horticulture fos
tered and promoted among the whole pop
ulation.
John Tarr, who died recently in Mcad
villc, Penn., was one of those who, ten
years ago, suddenly found themselves pos
sessed of immense wealth, bv the discov
ery of petroleum on territory which a life
time of delving and tilling had failed to
more than return a living to its owners.
Before the oil excitement had filled that
section of country with eager speculators,
1 arr’s possessions could have been pur
chased for the munificent sum of $1,500.
When he died they were worth $ .',000,000.
Said Pope in a letter to Swift: "I am
rich enough andean a (ford to giveaway
£IOO a year. I would not crawl upon the
earth without doing something for truth..— i
I will enjoy the pleasure of what I give by !
giving it alive, and seeing another enjoy it i
When I die, I should lie ashamed to leave i
enough for a monument, if there was a t
wanting friend above ground."
Wheu a carpet is taken up to be cleaned, i
the floor beneath it is generally very much
covered with dust. This dust is very fine
and dry, and poisonous tc the lungs.—
Before removing it, sprinkle the floor with
very dilute carbolic acid, to kill any poison
ous germs that may be present, and to
thoroughly disinfect the floor and render it
sweet. :

A story comes from Fitchburg, Masse- j
clmsetts, that a cat lay down on a flywheel i
early in the morning, aiul was not diseov- !
ered till the engine had been running three :
hours; a dog then detected her and gave j
the alarm. When the engine was stopped !
the cat was rescued uninjured, after ma- I
king sixty revolutions a minute for three i

A house no matter how little, provided
that it will hold two or so—no matter
how humMy furnished, provided there is
hope in it; let the winds blow—close the
curtains. What if they are plaiu calico,
without border, tassel, or any such thing?
Let the rain.rome down, keep up the fire. ,
No matter if you havn’t a candle to bless 1
yourself with, for what a beautiful light ,
glowing coal makes shedding a sunset
through the room ; just light enough to
talk by. not loud as iu the highways; nor ;
rapid, as in the hurrying world, hut softly,
slow ly, whisperingly, with pauses between,
for the storm without and the thoughts
within to fill up with. Then wheel the
sofa around hv the fire; no matter if the
sofa is a settee, uncushioned .it that, if so he
it is long enough for two and a half in it.
How sweetly the music of the silver bells
from the time to come fal s on the listen
ing heart. How mournfully swell the
chimes of “the days that are no more.” —
Under such circumstances, nnd at such a
time, one can get at least sixty nine and
a half miles nearer “the kingdom come,”
than any other point in this world, laid
j down in “Malte IL un.” May lx* you may
. smile at this picture; hut there is a secret
between us, viz: it is a copy of a picture
( rudely done, hut true as the Pentateuch of j
the original of every human heart.

Thk above is lli/ title of a twenty
eight column Weekly Newspaper,
recently established in h'lostLing,
Allegany county, Maryland.
We are aware that we have entered
acrowded field that the competition
for public favor, on the part of new s
papers, is so notably extensive ns to
make the establishment of additional
papers a matter of gi ave consider.*
i lion. Especially so, when the nu
merous ami increasing demands of
I journalism are so generally deserving
j of support.
, However, we accent this fact as
| not prejn licial to the establishment
!of our enterprise, for we hold that,
every institution, having a laudable
object, legitimately conducted, lias a
moral right, to live ; and the fact of
increasing journalistic candidates,
. asking, ami in all, but. comparative!v
j a few eases, receiving popular sup
! port, indicates the prevalence of u
healthy public sentimi nl with r.
spect thereto. It is well known ti.it
I newspaper s, in general, by assuming
| a prudent censorship of public man-'
! ners and a proper custodianship <>;
public morals, become the best com
j servators of the public peace ant
| the most effective promoters of the
j public welfare.
, Recognizing in Frostburg a jirom.

munity, iim! encouraged by the eon
sel ol some of its citizens, we h.iv.)
