Special Duties.

"Alpha," the Washington cores
pondent of the New York Tribune,
writes to that paper that the Cabinet
has determined to urge upon Con-
gress an alteration of the Tariff, adj
ding specific in the place of ad ca
loren duties.
If we mistake not, here will be a
pregnant source of quarrel between
Mr.. Clay and the administration, for
Mr.. Clay is deeply pledged to the
doctrine of ad valorem duties. One
Of his most Celebrated speeches in the
U. S. Senate, few years since, was
in direct opposition to the fraudulent
scheme of specific duties, and he is
too old now to play the political
weathercock for Gen. Taylor, even
if he had the disposition, which he
has not.
The administration will find itself
wofully mista en- in this matter, and
will meet with notifying defeat.
Truly our Southern President, in
the hands Of his Northern Cabinet,
is out Heroding Herod in his at
tempts to feed the Yankees fat upon
the robbery of the South.

IA case of ssCollamer Morbus
occurred on the Concord Rail Road
recently, in which the old man him
self became the victim. Mr.. Cola
mer and family were passing down
from Vermont en- rout for Washing
ton City-and as Post Master Gen.
eral claimed free ticket, which
was given him; but when the agent
came to the collection of the fare he
would not permit the family to pass
under the free ticket, at which Mr..
Collamer became indignant and
would not receive the benefit of the
free ticket himself. We do not know
but it is right for an officer privi-
lodged by the law to travel upon mail
routes free to take the whole of his
connexion under the rule applicable
to himself. But it does look to us
like very little business, and eviden-
cessa species of picayune littleness
better becoming some one else than
the Post Master General.-Iowa

The Newspaper Press.

The following is from speech
delivered by Rev. JAMES AspINwALL,
on Education:
ssNor, while speaking of the school
masters, in whose hands the priL ting
press is such a powerful agent Of
public instruction at the present
time, must we forget newspapers
Whether we regard them as the
guide or echo of popular opinion
and in one sort they partake of both
characters-we are lost in amaze
ment and admiration at the quantity
and quality of mind. and that of the
highest order, now to be found in the
columns of the daily, weekly, and
provincial press. From being mere
chronical of passing events, dry
register of dates and facts, the news
paper has grown into one of the lea
ding schoolmasters of the day. Its
articles amuse us with their wit and
instruct us with their wisdom. They
exhibit the brilliancy of the classical
scholar and the close reasoning of
the logician. It is an encyclopedia
in itself. 1t reviews all books and
treats of all science. 1t is familiar
with all geography, and at home
with all history. 1t is Gdipus, to
read the riddles which every poll
teal sphinx may set before it. 1t
dives into cabinet secrets and antic-
ipates the purposes Of statesmen. 1t
has the hundred eyes of the ever
wakeful Argus, the hundred hands
and fifty heads of Briareus. And, as
omnipresent as omniscient, as ubi-
quitous as versatile, it is here, there,
and everywhere, from Indus to the
Pc, from China to Peru, comprising
the world with its correspondents,
and, with its expresses and electric
telegraph, racing against time to
communicate the intelligence of
mankind in every region of the earth.
The ancients counted up seven won
ders Of the world. If they had pos
sessed newspaper press they would
have had an eighth, more marvellous
and more worthy than all the rest
together"

A Gem.

The death of child is to mothers heart like
dew on plant from which bud had persisted. The
plant lifts up its head in freshened greenness to the
morning light; so the mothers soul gathers from
the dark sorrow through which she has passed, a
fresh Frightening of the heavenly hopes.
There's many an empty cradle,
There's many vacant bed,
There's many lovely bosom,
Whose JOY and light is fed;
For thick in yonder graveyard
The little hillocks lay
And hundreds OF sweet blossoms,
Are gathered there to-day.

Quick Digestion-Healthy Food
Of all the articles of food, boiled rice
is digested in the shortest time-an
hour. As it also contains cight-tenths
nutritious matter, it is valuable
substance for diet. Tripe and pigs
feet are digested almost as rapidly.
Apples if sweet and ripe, are next
in order. Venison is digested al
most as soon as apples. Roasted po-
tatoes are digested in half the time
required by the same Vegetables boil
ed, which occupy three hours and
a half-m than beef or mutton.
Bread occupies three hours and a
quarter. Stewed oysters and boiled
eggs are digested in three hours and
half-an hour more than is requir-
