Cincinnati, May II, 1849.

Family Newspapers persons have
any just conception of the extent of their in
dehtedness to the newspapers for the informa-
ton they possess and the moral sentiments
they cherish. Compared with any past age
of the world, this is a remarkably enlightened
period. large portion of the people have
considerable share of correct information on
almost all topics of any real Importance
Geography, history, the political condition of
the world, astronomy, the important practical
features of national philosophy, something Of
geology, chemistry as applied to agriculture
and the mechanic arts, and many other sub
Jects, are familiarized to the popular mind
Most persons can talk inteligently about them
without pretending to learning or research.
But how did they come by their knowledge?
Not at school, not from books,-generally
speaking, but by picking up here a little and
shere little, from the family newspaper, in
imperceptibly small instalments. Let any one
ask himself where he obtained his knowledge
of any particular fact. He is probably unable
10 tell, because it came silently, unpretending
ly, in the newspaper.
The same is true in regard to our best NOR
al impressions and sentiments. They have
been suggested, reiterated, and fastened on the
mind by the press. The pulpit does much ;
parental instruction, in many cases, does much
but the press, more than either, often more
than both. Let any reader of we'll conduc-
ted paper, open its pages and consider thought
fully its contents. There are in single num-
Der sometimes from $50 to 200 separate and
distinct articles, each one conveying an idea,
fact or sentiment, and stated or illustrated
so as to produce some effect, either in enhan-
cling the readers store of knowledge, or CIV
ing right direction to thought, feeling and
action. Must not all this have its influence,
and in the aggregate a mighty influence upon
the reader? We think so.
No rejecting man can fail TO see that the
6fty-two visits in a year of carefully con-
Quoted paper, intelligent, correct, elevated in
moral tone, and withal interesting in its con-
tents, must exert great and blessed influence
upon domestic life. Children growing up un-
der such influence are far more likely to be
intelligent, correct in their opinions and NOR
ais, and better prepared for the active duties
of life than they could possibly have been
without it-Merchant's Ledger.

thorities had small quantities of gunpowder

full disinfecting agent, the smell remaining up
wards of "a hours in the buildings. 1t was
used in the lazarettos of Trieste and Malta,
and was tried in Paris in 1888, and also in
Montreal. In the latter city cannon were pla-

between this place and Providence, on Mon
day next, leaving here in the morning and re.
turning in the afternoon. She has been put
in perfect order, and makes better appear
ance than she ever has before. Her machn-
cry has been thoroughly overhauled, and re.
paired, and such improvements made as will
greatly accelerate her speed. A new deck has
been put up between her wheel houses and
over the engine every part Of the boat has
been newly painted. The Ladies' Saloon has
been refurnished, and hung with gaudy drap-
cry, and is as comfortable and elegant as a
private parlor.
On the panels in front of the Saloon, and
along the sides of the main deck, are painted
views of Newport and its environs; they are
