FRAILrY.-All men have their frailties. "As
grow older" said Goethe, s'I become enient to
the sins of all humanity. The man who loudly de-
nounces I always suspect. He knows too much of
crime to denounce fellow creature unheard a know
ledge which only be obtained by crminality ITSELF
The hypocrte always strives to divert attention from
his wickedness, by denouncing unsparingly that
OF others. He thinks he shall seem good in exact
ratio as he makes others seem bad.

MAGNETIC LETTER PRINTING TELEGRArH-This
is one of the most ingenious pieces of mechanism
that we have ever SEEM 1t is tie invention of ROYAL
E. House, and has been patented in this country and
in all the principal kingdoms of Europe. BY apply
ing it to the telegraph wires which connect this city
with Philadelphia, it wond produce the following re-
suits. The operator in the station at Philadelphia,
wishing to communicate here that "the design of
Uncle Sam to get possession of the telegraph is de-
feated," would stand near table with a small box
six inches square and three inches high upon it. On
the upper surface of the box appears the letters of the
alphabet arranged in two circles around the centre
and the ends of stops which may be depressed by
the finger. On the side of the box there is small
brass crank. The operator, taking the crank in one
hand, begins to turn il, and every round he de-
presses two letters of the word he desires to
nicate in New York. Upon the instant that his fin
ger is depressed upon letter. that letter is with
unerring certainty printed with black ink, in Roman
characters upon the paper which is drawing out of
the front of the apparatus at the station in this CITY,
Thus:
THE DESIGN OF UNCLE SAM TO GET
POSSESSION OF THE TELEGRAPH is DE-
FEATED.
The rapidity with which these letters are printed is
as fast as the operator in Philadelphia can depress
them with his finger. An inexperienced person has
printed with this apparatus at the rate of hundred
and eighty letters per minute. The printing is done
with unerrng correctness the part of the machine
and there possibility for any mistake unless the
operator depresses the wrong letter. Here have
the despatch, perfect correctness, and the high
est degree of legibity Is any thing necessary
We have omitted to describe that part of the machine
which supposed to be placed at the station in this
city. Anything could say would be exceedingly
imperfect. All that appears TO the eye resembles
small DESK often used by families. and that closes by
kind of lid in 'front.' This instrument, we learn, is
to be Immediately applied to the telegraphic stations
on the great London line of communication, and un
less some better be produced, reason
why it should not be at once adopted by all mag
netic lines. and thus set aside the present system
which people in the country denominate Hierogyph
ics."-N Y. Post.

NOBLE ExAMPLE.--We delighted to find that
there is at least member of Congress in the wing
party, who thinks more of sustaining the honor of
his country than in obstructing the President in his
endeavors to bring the with Mexico to honora-
Bile termination.
We allude to Senator CRrTTENDEN of Kentucky
This patriotic gentleman promptly voted for Senator
Bcntons BILL encouraging the enlistment of soldiers
and at the same time remarked that he was in favor
of vigorous prosecution of the war, and should
cordngly vote for liberal supply of men and money
to further that object.
We hope and trust that the remaining wings in
Congress will follow Mr. Crittenden's example, and
sustain the administration in its efforts to close this
war as speedily possible.
