TRYING TO INDIcT-BEAeH AND BRADY.-A
contemporary states that the Beaches have been
endeavouring to procure the indictment Of young
man named Brady, whom they accuse of stealing
= newspaper containing Geographic intelligence;
conveyed to this city at vast expense, by way OF
Halifax and st. John. The Grand Jury, however,
ignored the bill. We trust, however, that the mat
ter Will not be abandoned by those whose interests
are concerned. There is certainly some right Of
property in procuring intelligence at an expense of
nearly one thousand dollars each express, and
there must be some criminaity in endeavouring to
procure that property candestnely, for the use of
other persons, and for other purposes than those
contemplated by the parties who procured it origi-
nally.
But, while we expect that fresh attempt will be
made TO place this matter in stronger light before
the next Grand Jury, we hope the Messrs. Beach
will be placed In the same position, and that their
conduct In a similar way will be Inquired into on
another count. What we allude to is this On
the receipt of Geographic intelligence generally, in
this city, by the associated PRESS the propretors of
the Sun have been IN the habit of previously pre-
paring and setting up items of stale news, received
by the previous arrivals, and of mixing that with
the intelligence received by express at the time, and
thus palIning on the public a great deal of old
news, as fresh and just received by telegraph !;
while il is week older, and perhaps more. 1t is
this attempt to deceive the public which we blame
in our cote mporary. The morality OF such conduct
in newspaper proprietor, may be congenial with
that of Plainfield or Jacksonville Bank directors;
but we can never concur in such principles or
such practices; nor do we believe the public will do
it either Such mean and dlscredtable attempts
TO make show Of having great deal OF fresh
news, by deceving the public, have led some of
he other newspapers TO make plausible charges
against the proprietors of the associated press OF
New York, who have on all occasions maintained
their integrity with honor, and without dis
credit.
We trust, therefore, that when the case of
Brady, for attempting to purlon teegraphic intel
ligence, shall be brought before the next Grand
jury, the case of the Beaches of the Sun may also
be placed before the same body, in order to ascer-
tain their opinions on the morality and justice OF
the mode in which they issue their Extras. Wehaye
had quite enough, in this community, OF that des-
cription of tactics which the eventful history OF
the Jacksonville, Plainfeld, and Lehigh swindling
shops have exhibited in times gone by. We don't
want any more.

MANUFACTURES THE CITY. during the recent
casualties inflicted by cholera in this city, good
deal Of attention has been paid the operation Of
Soap-boiling, and other e.tablishments--a rpecies
Of factories which have grown up here during the
last few years 1t has been observed that the
deaths, by cholera, have been principally located
around these establishments, or where the air Is
infected by the efiluvia arising from the prosecu'
ton Of these works.
Among many Of our best citizens, we have heard
an inquiry made Of the causes producing 10 many
of these manufacturing Establishments of delete
rious substances, during the las, few years. I,
seems that the solution Of this question may be
found in the remarkable cheapness and pleniulness
Of pure water in the city Of New York since the
introduction Of the Croton riyer here. During the
last FIVE or six years manufacturing establishments,
of the description We have alluded to- have grown
UP to an immense extent in every part Of the city
The Croion water is cheap, supplied In great a5un-
dance, and costs as motive power, when used for
steam purposcs, far less than the use Of running
water in streams would in the neighborhood Of the
eitv, or in sny other mode whatever
We think il is necessary for the corporation to
make full and accurate investigation Of this slb-
iect The introduction OF the Croton water IL a
great benefit to the health and comfort of this me-
iropohs, il properly regulated. But If it is allowed
70 be a nucleus around which centres the moet
healthy factories, such as many Of these soap
boiling establishments are, the municipal authori-
ties should Of once put check on such practice.
ard restrict the growth Of these nuisances.

FAsHIoNApIg NEWSPAPER MANNERS AT WASH
INoToN.-Eyey government, whether royalist re-
publican must have Its newspaper organ, and court,
and system of manners and style of address, and so
forth, and so forth. Some idea may be formed Of
the figures and accomplishments introduced into
fashionable society in Washington, from the Ian
guage and style adopted by the organ of the 60
vernment on one side, and that of the opposition
on the other, at the federal capitol. Vegetation Is
coming very rapidly forward in the neighborhood
fthe White House. A short time ago, the Wash
ington Union, in speaking of the President, In its
columns, called him
"a dolt, whiGed sepuehrc, Nero, cheat, and
liar"
In reply, the Washington Republic, with SINH
lar taste and equal courage, says
The Union has marked out for itself career of in
fanny which has asssiled, with venomous malice tho
purest and best citizens Of the republic; which stops
at no however indecent Its daily Issues are
blurred by saeriegious je,ts and obscene rbaldry.
Ssch a per can only have been taught to blush by
the Of the brothe aud have received its
lessons in ethics from the graduates OF Pententary
The Washington Union, IN reply to all this,
speaks with great devotion of mind Of the men,
decity and obscenity Of the special organ"
This is the language, these are the manners, the
style now in daily use by the two great organs IN
the city of Washingon-the Republic on the one
hand, in favor Of the government, and the Union
on the other, the organ Of the opposition Who
are the men who thus authorize the putting forth
Of such languogel They are Thomas H. Richie,
of Virginia; Edmund Burke, of New Hampshire;
J. o. Sargent Of New York; and Bdwell Bullitt,
Of New Orleans What do these gentlemen think,
(for, no doubt, they claim to be gentlemen,)-

Bald Heads.

The DISCOVERY made by Mr.. Wise, for the res
sora,ion of hair is elicting notice in the Virginia
papers. The Richmond Wing says
As to Mr.. Wise's discovery, great deal has
been said about it. He has not been operating
quite long enough yet for one to speak decisively
of the result. Blu. the prospect, we learn is fiat
ter:ng. He has, we believe, at least accomplished
more than science has hitherto been able to effect,
be has made hair Begin to appear upon heads from
which it had long disappeared If he fully sue
ceeds, he has in his hands more wealth than is
contained in the valley Of the Sacramento.
As to the nature of the composition which he
uses; Mr. Wise keeps it a profound secret. He
was tanner by trade, and while pursuing that vo-
cation, he observed that after the hair was taken
off hide by lime, there was still 1resh supply
Of roots, which could be made to gov. He verv
reasonably concluded that if srch was the fact
with regard to cows hide, it might be equally
true with respect to huUlan Uranium. He made
the experiment. and he thinks with success

Written Sermons.

A discussion was held lately in convention of
ministers, regarding the comparative advantage of
written and externpore sermons. Both practices
found pariisans, but one Of the opponents OF the
written sermons related an anecdote which must
have told. A minister's wife came 10 his study
one day, and told him that she wanted him 10 GO
into the kitchen and scold one of the girls for
her. No my DEAR he said, i am writing my
sermon and cannot go; 4; but will write scolding
for you, and you can read j, to her, Well, the
preacher wrote the scolding, and his wifi took it
in the kitchen and began to read it. The girl soon
began 10 laugh, when the lady threw down her
notes and commenced danextemporaneous hasangue
that soon had a much better effect

A Dog that Chews Tobacco.

A friend has just related TO us a curious fact in
natural history, respecting dog In North A,,le-
boro,' Mass, there is kept, in manufacturing es.
tablfshment, a large mas,iff, who tales as much
comfort with quid of tobacco, az does the inye,.
crate lover of the weed. Sc habitua,ed has he
become to its use that be must nave it, and will
sit all day in the cent,e of the workshop, chewing
away with great appetite and good Ielish.--
He became thus much like a man, by playing,
when young. with old Sogers,' as the ends of ci.
gars are professionally termed. In such play he
would occasionally find soger' in his mouth,
until taste was formed for the tobacco, which
has since continued to increase, and now he is
what he is We believe this to be the only in
stance on record of any animal bu, man, and one
species of worm using the weed from pure love

African Mode of Cooking an ostrich,s Egg
