cannot do it. We receive many communi-
cations each day which it is morally i'm
possible that we should publish, and which
we cannot preserve and classify so that
they may be reclaimed at pleasure. House
room is too scarce and costly with us for
that. But if any writer chooses to say,
"If this is not used, please reinclose 1t
and mail it to ---- at - Post-Of-
fee" we will endeavor in each instance
to heed the request.
6. Poems, Tales, Translations, &c. as
general rule, have no pecuniary value to
US. Such as have a high order OF merit
are worth more to the Magazines than to
US, and 10 those we commend their authors
who desire to transmute the wealth of their
imsginations into current coin. Wechoose
in this department to depend on selections
and on the unprompted offerings of those
who seek for their productions only wide
publicity and not pecuniary reward.
:. We have no wish to engage Travel
ing Correspondents in Europe, not choosing
to deepen the Ignorance which already
abounds with regard to that Continent.
Much study and reflection are requisite to
qualify one for instructive observation in
foreign lands, and we have found most Of
the letters sent home by young Americans
travelling for pleasure or excitement IN Eu-
rope of little or no worth.
:. To write on both sides of any paper
transmitted to a Daily Journal is the one
unbearsble nuisance, as it precludes dis
patch in transferring the matter to the
press. A donkey must write as a donkey
and is not to blame therefor, unless he
writes on both sides of his paper. Moth
ing in human form has e right to be so
great donkey as that.
9. Many an article has supplied US with
a welcome and valuable suggestion when
we could not possibly make room for 1t.
MANY a one that we would gladly publish
is omitted because we cannot. The News
Of all sorts must go in, for it is that which
our subscribers mainly pay for; they only
tolerate the great mass of cogitations and
criticisms. The public appetite must be
needed, even while laboring to educate and
refine it.

in anxious questof employment, a majority
of them would run out of money before
thew found it. In April or May next 1t
will be otherwise, and then we shall urge
them to scatter themselves over the Coun-
try. Unhappily, however, that will be
the very season when there is most woTN
here, so that thousands, finding temporary
employment, will be tempted to remain;
and the next winter will find them here as
heI pIess and destitute as ever. We shall
do our best to drive them off but, at pre-
sent, we know that work is dull and the
needy suffering for want of it all over the
Country.
-'Junius is amazed that more women
do not leave the City in quest of employ
ment at Homework in the Country, since
(he asserts) there is great want of house
hold help in the Country. We venture to
assure him that there would be no such
want if those willing to do the work were
treated and paid as they ought TO be. We
believe the average wages of Women at
service in the Country is under S. per
month, though it may be higher in New
England, where the demand for Female
Labor in the Factories has enhanced It's
price. On the whole, we think the aver
age in New England is not above $ per
month, while it is less in the Western
States. Surprising one has good health
and steady work, she will thus receive $50
for a wears work, out of which she must
pay for Clothing and supply all her wants
except that of Food. And what is her So
cial position in the estimation Of the fami-
" she serves and its neighbors! What
limitation is there to the hours Of each day
Sunday and ally through which she may
be called to work. What opportunities
are secured to her for mental improvement
and rational enjoyment What prospect
is open before her for the summer and au-
tumn of life ! We shall not give the an
swers to these questions, but are very sure
that 'Junius,' if he has sisters, would not
consider the lot of servant-girl among
strangers (perhaps Of different race and
faitb) one to be greatly delighted in.
Still, better be drudge than drone.
There are ten thousand women in this City
TO whom good places at homework in the
country would be a blessing. We will
gladly do anything in our power toward
helping them to such places, in default OF
better, and have always done it, contrary
to what 'Junius implies in his fling at
Association We never encouraged any
one to stand idle because desirable places
to work were not at hand. Better work
almost anywhere than nowhere. And
what is greatly needed is Central Agency
in our City charged with the duty of pro-
curing Labor for all who need it. Such
Agency should be so kept that man any
where, by sending here, could find a man
or woman suited to any work he might
have to do, while a worker applying at
the proper desk would be told "a at ,o "DHe
..Lo.bor tbe,e u,os o~.--1 - 'ue Oouh-
try, place to which he might repair with
a certainty of finding work suited to his
capacity, and at what rates. Such an
Agency, thoroughly organized and eff
GENTLY conducted, might rescue thousands
from misery and add millions to the annual
production of our Country. Ed. Trib.

THE SENATORIAL ELECrION.-I esterday the
House of Representatives made two more inef.
fectual attempts 10 elect q Senator. All the
members were present but hive. Two OF The ab-
sentees were Wings, two Free Sellers, and one
an old line Democrat. They were kept away by
sickness. The vote was the largest that has yet
been given for Senator Mr.. Summers vote on
each ballot was 1913, two less than the number
necessary for a choice. Mr.. Winthrop received
on the first ballot 169 on the second, l6s-one
Wing having voted for George n. Briggs. This
was, we believe, the entire Wing strength Il is
barely possible that one Wing might have voted
for Mr. Phillips. The 81 votes given for MIR. Phil
lips are understood to be cast by Free Soil
Whies" There was great crowd IN the State
House during the balloting, and the most intense
interest was manifested 10 regard to the result.
After the second ballot was announced, Mr.. Cush
ing Of Newbury moved 70 postpone the election
for fortnight, which, after considerable opposl-
ton from the leading coalition members, Tas ar
ried BY nine majority So the election IL post
poned for two weeks. Bost Atlas, Feb. p.
After stating farther that their correspondent
was almost an entire stranger to the Editors, the
atlas concludes with the following, which we
publi,h without endorsing that portion which re-
lates to the inadequscy Of the salaries OF various
public officers;
Thus much BY way Of explanation. We shall
in conclusion say, that the charges of bribery
made against Mr. Webster, founded, as they are,
upon the iberality Of private friends is poor, mis-
cradle stuff. IL is matter which the public have
nothing 10 do with. As well might Mr.. Golden,
and many other statesmen and patriots Of Eng
land, who have been placed in opulence by the
eratuitous liberality Of friends for great public
services, be charged with bribery corruption and
treason, as Mr. Webster under the circumstances
DOW involved. The parallels are in principle ex-
actly the same. The only difference is, that in
Mr.. Cobden's case he received six times the
smount that Mr. Webster is charged with having
received
"Tbe pay Of our Cabinet officers, and Minister
to Great Britain, ia mean and inadequate. It
should at least be doubled, in order that the in
cumbents Of the Offices may be able to exercise a
proper liberality and at the same time receive q
proper reward for services rendered"
