There bhas been of Mcent 7yen a im-.
mnse itmeas of activity Ito tvinlaleon
we sad a F esat improvemest Is laclltis for
rapid travel. A half a century ago men
traveled but little. The few wealthy men
made pleasure voyages. and merebhata
traveled a few hundl.ed mnile' for purpomes
connected with thei.r business. A voyage
which to a traveler of to-day would not Ie
regarded as worth any conlideration aside
from pretit. as n thuee days regarded as
a feat. Travel Was then slow, tedious, ex
pensive and dangerous. Now it is swift,
cheap, agreeable and comparatively safe.
The steamers rush acruo the aeran in tenl
ed days. The railroads takes s scross the
en continent in a week's time. The eqjoy
meat formerly monopolized by the weal bhy
is at pre-ent within the reach of every
N. one who has ability to make hits own living
f sand to lay the surplus of his income by.
But, reduced as the rates of travel have
become, they mnust yet become far cheaper.
in Competition will force rates down sooner
or later to a igure which it would now
seem fully to dream of. stlnd at the same
la. time the lecnutions against accidenut will
1 be more and moute perfected. We shall
th then hase srech a circulation of human life
as no prophet ever conceived of, a com
in mercial union of peoples compared with
of which all the woniders of ancient civ
ilization shall appear trilling. When we
reflect on the clnee relations into which
nations vastly saparated have been brought
re by such inter-communion as the facilities
at of modern travel and transportation have
1- made not only possible, but practicable
and profitable, and when we consider the
Silnluence of this intermingling of different
IS peoples upon malners, art, thought and I
religion, it becomes hard indeed to co I
eeive of the importance and tremendous
inboence it may have upon the future.
is The nations of the earth are coming to
nf gether in thought, art, phylosnphy and re- i
eI ligion, and even in lanlguage.. There have I
d been preedictions of a universal language I
am it ech prophecies are not wild ones"
('ivilization is forgetting the distinlctive e
national colors of its barbarous stats, and I
is sesuamn g a uniform costume, and why t
may it not also asisnie a uniform garh for ,
t the expreseint of its thought. It is true 1
that it has reqil-ed thle work of centulri -s

Mr. Conkliog'n power is in pet.

proves the use e he makee of it, let
him not seek to overthrow him with
like weapons, but disarm bim. Let
Mr. Garfdid adopt the policy of re
form, of appointments for proved fit
onee independent of polities, ad be
will not only wi, tbis partieolar fight
bet he will make like fibghts ino f.
tore annecemary and impossible.
Between a Conkling mecbiue and a

eoentry will not see much to ehoose.
Between machbine polities and the

Espedletlsee.
Prom sad after this date all no
tises of a business nature will be i
charged for. Marriage and death
notices not exceeding eight lines
will be inserted for one dollar. In
other words we will not do any
more free advertising. If a notice
in a newspaper of entertainment,
concert, etc., is deemed necessary
to its success, and especially when
admission is charged or a collection
taken up, it is certainly worth pay.
ing for, and whether it is or not, we
will do no more free advertising, as I
the public has no more right to ask I
or expect a newspaper to give its
space for nothing than they have to
ask a merchant to give away his
goods, or the butcher his beef, or
the baker his bread. Our friends
will please bear this in mind.
The above, from the Shreveport
Times, is so reasonable, so proper
and so just that we copy it, verbas
tim et literatim, and adopting for
ourselves all therein said, beg the
readers, patrons and friends of the
Guardian to understand that we
will stand by the notice printed
above.
Keep Young.
Dlon't grow old and rusty and
cross, afraid of nonsense and fun.
Tolerate the follies of youth. Gray
hair and wrinkles you cannot escape
but you oedl not grow old unless
you choose. And so long as your
age is only on the outside, you will
win in confidence from the young,
and find your life all the brighter
t for contact with theirs. But you
I have too many grave thoughts, too
y many weighty anxieties and duties,
too much to do to make this trifling
r possible, you say. The Very reason
my friend, why you should cultivate
fun, nonsense. lightness of heart,
because you need them so much, be.
canse you are 'weary of thinking.'
Then do try to be young, even if
f you have to be foolish in so doing.
OI ne cannot be wise all the time .I
We have heard the argument of
('ol. Juo. 8. Young, counsel fok de
feuse of Dan McFarland, who was
tried yesterday for the murder of
SJohln l. Evans and acquitted, highly
complimented as a most able effort. p
Col. Young volunteered his ser'ices, tI
we understand, to assist Messrs. -
Elstner and Wise, counsel for de.
fense, and certainly proved himself
a powerful auxiliary in winning the a
case. t
The above we clip from the 1
Shreveport Times. Of course the C
1 Colonel spoke well. He always
- does.
A countryman, whose watch had -

a hair out ot the works." "Why."
was the response, "you couldnh't

whole hair mnattrass!"

"You look pale, Gus." said one
fashionable to another. "Yes, I am
as nervous as s cat." "What is the
matter?" "Well, you see, I dreamed
last night that I had paid off all
my debts, and I am worried to

The wild assertion has been made tr
