BAD STATE OF MoRALs.-The New Orleans
Delta makes the following melancholy confess
ion Of the condition of affairs in that city.
"Although the murders in New Orleans will
average one in every twelve hours,th (the con-
viction of Frank Smith for the murder of his
wife) is the second conviction, without qualif-
cation, for eight years. There is a fault some
where, and it should be remedied. So many
murders, assassinations, fights, drowning, and
found dead, should lead to some endeavors for
their stoppage. AS it is, no one is ever found
guilty of murder here, and those who are con-
victed ofmanslaughter are only sent to Baton
Rouge for term ofyears. We hope the wrong
will be remedied, but have no reason to sup
pose that it will be. A Jury cannot be en-
pannelled in New Orleans who viii find any
man guilty of murder, if they can helpit The
universal judgment is: every man take care
of himself

OUTRAGEOUS ABANDONMENT OF FHE Q. S.
MAIL.-We fn6 the following in the Council
Bluffs Eagle Cannot the General Govern
ment ascertain the facts and punish the delin-
quents, iftrue?
We have information from undouted authori-
tv that the mail carriers to Utah are accustom-
ed to throw away much of the paper mail after
getting away up the Platte, and that there was
number of bags thrown away or abandoned,
or thrown into cave just above Fort Kerney
and in other places on the route. Is the Gov
ernment paying men for destroying the mail
this way? 1t might be done cheaper at INDIE

A Fitting Tribute to Woman.

The following extract from speech deliver
ed in the California Senate by Mr.. Sou.e, is
touchingly beautiful. The subject was bill
authorizing women to act as sole traders
There are married men out of California as
well as in it. who may look in that glass and
elact of many married men in California-their
faithlessnesS to every VOW which they made at
the altar-how completely they fail in perfor-
nance of their duties-how virtuous and indus
trious, faithful and patient women are imposed
upon by whorthlesS brutes of husbands, as great
tyrants at home and drunkards and debauchees
abroad, my respect for the sex promps me to
do all within my power, to protect her rights
and secure her happiness.
I love woman, l have loved her all my life,
and dying, hope to be faithful to the same high
ndinspiring sentiment. For amid all the va
ried scenes, temptations, struggles and hopes

has lighted and guided me onward, If ever

from the eye of woman. And | judge her in
fuence is thus upon others. Gentle in her at
fections, yet mighty through her influence
ber mild rule is as powerful as the ballot box,
and she only needs the protection of law against
those who have no law in their habits and pro-
pensities. She has ruled me from my boyhood
with the soft and winning influence of her vir-
ture and beauty.
remember my first love; my baby affections
at four years of age. have been in love near
ly every month since-save the dark and ray
less days and years which succeeded the DESC
late hearth and made the heart too desolate.-
And never, sir, while l remember my mother,
long since in her gravel remember the night
when she died-never while recollect my sis
ters, and the abuses that might have been theirs
never while hold in memory one other
and her memory is all that is left me-shall |
refuse to give my voice and my influence and
my vote, for any measure necessary to protect
and cherish the weaker and better portion of
creation against the oppression, neglect or a
buse of my own sex. | hope the bill may pass.

CORRECT VIEWS OF LIFR-The best cure
for misanthropy is practical philanthropy. The
best way to guard against narrowness is to do
liberal deeds. The best way to make money a
source of personal peace is to share it as gener-
ously as you can with others, to invest where it
will pay interest in the SMILES of the relieved or
the affection of the beneited-Somehow, as a
general rnle, the most disinterested people are
the most cheerful. We knew a thoroughly
'unSelfsh person once, a person who seemed
ever thinking of those connected with and a.
round her, who bore senenely for years and
gears, cares and troubles enough to have made
life tragical indeed and yet stranger would
have thought her exempt from anxiety and sor-
row,

The Drunken Skeptic's Dream.
Twas on dark and starless night,
/ heard and saw an awful sight,
The lightnings flashed and thunders rolrd,
Above my dark benighted soul.
Me thought saw the gulf below,
Where all the dying drunkards go;
Ny awful woe no one could tell,
Is this my place-the drunkard's hell.
I heard . voice call loud and long,
Far down beneath that drunken throng:
Come here young man we'll find you room,
Because you read Tom Pane and Hume.
Then my sad soul was filed with grief
To think that l had no relief;
Still doom'd to sink in dark dispair,
And make my home forver there.
Then ny poor trembling soul gave way,
And sunk beneath where drunkards lay;
Andwhile / smelt their loathsome bregthy
felt the awful sting Of death.
The second death did pierce my soul.
While scorching flames around me roll;
And there l groand with old Voltaire,
Midst all the woes of dark dispair.
| heard another mournful sound,
Among a groOp still lower down;
| raised my head and heard one tell,
This is the place where Bacchus dwells.
Around him stood weeping crowd,
With blood shot eyes and voices loud
They gnash their teeth and sigh and groan,
This is the whiskey sellers home.
Their awful groans did wake me up,
And made me think of all my cups;
They made me think of all I've done,
Since / forsook the sober Sons.
/ travelled on-got there's at last,
And tried to take a social glass;
But every time / stird it well,
| thought about the drunkard's hell.
l dashed it down and left the place,
And went to seek redeeming grace;
] bowed myknees to Jesus there,
And raised my voice in humble prayer.
The very moment faith begun,
Ten thousand joys around me sprung;
/ felt like Paul who once did pray,
Because my sins were washed away.
Then 1 went home to change my life,
And see my long neglected wife;
found her weeping DER the bed,
Because her infant boy was dead.
told her not to cry and weep,
Because her babe had gone to sleep;
It's happy soul has fled away,
To dwell with Christ in endless day.
took her by her pale white hand,
on / u. oo,,l1 ,of stand.
| laid her down and breathed prayer,
That God would save and bless Us there.
Then home become happy place,
White smiles played over my Mary's face;
She said the Lord had answered prayer,
And saved my soul from dark despair.
Forth went to the Temperance Hall,
To take the pledge among them all;
They met me with welcome hand,
And took me in the Temperance band.
Five sober years have passed away, :.
Since FIRST | bowed my knees to pray;
And still live sober life,
With a good home and lovely wife.
O! may The Legislative band,
Enact good laws throughout the land;
To stop old whiskey's onward course,
From all the mountains to the coasts
Then whiskey shops will have to flee,
And leave the land Of Tennessee;
Then all the people will be blest,
With sober cares in every breast.

) A RUMsELLEE ARRESTED UNDER New
LAw.-Tho Pennsylvania Legislature at its last
session enacted law authorizing the friends of
an inebriate to give notice to an inkeeper not to
sell the Incorporate person any more liquor
By virtue of this act, Mayor Conrad of Phia-
delphia held the keeper of public house for
trial, for selling liquor to an intoxicated man
wdO died in consequence of such intoxication.-
The accused offered in defence that he was not
at home when the liquor was sold, and that it
was sold by his bar tender. The Mayor replied
that his absence would not avail to screen him,
as his bar keeper acting as his agent, made
him responsible.

"FREE TRADE AND SAILORS RIGHTs.-How
dear that old mottol Time has not impaired
its value. We are informed that the President
sent the treaty concluded last Saturday with
Russia'to the Senate yesterday, and that before
the adjournmento of that body it was unanimous
fy ratified. This, we believe, is unprecedented
despatch in the coordinate branch Of the treaty
making power; and is perhaps attributable to
the high estimate in which the stipulations of
the treaty are held by each senator. Shoulder
to shoulder every true American will be found
standing, in all coming time, in support of the
glorious old motto, Gree trade and sailors
rights" For obtaining for it efficient support
in quarter not anticipated, each will exclaim
to the members of the administration and Of the
Senate, "Wel done, good and faithful servants" !"

ASSAULT on THE PRESIDENT OF THE IT,.
SrATEs.-Y yesterday, upon the adjournment of
the Senate, as the President of the United
States was about leaving the Capitol, he was
followed out and addressed by a person named
James NJ Jefards, of Charleston S. c. AS
President was leaving him, Jefards threw a
boiled egg which he had in his hand, striking
the President on the back of his head and
knocking his hat therefrom. The person who
committed this wanton and most disgraceful as
sault upon the President of the United States,
was Immediately arrested by Capt. Duuning-
ton. who held an examination of the accused in
the guard-room of the Capitol Wash. Senti-

The shadow of Life.

We have rarely met with anything more
beautiful, than the following, which we find in
the New York lfrror Of recent date:
"All that live must die,
Passing through Nature to eternity"
Men seldom think OF the great event Of Death
until the dark shadow falls across their own
path hiding forever from their eyes the face of
the loved one whose living smile was the sun
light of their existence Death is the great
antagonism of Life; and the cold thought of the
tomb is the skeleton in all our feasts. We do
not want 10 go through the dark valley, although
its passage may lead to paradise; and with
Charles Lamb, we do not wish to lie down in
the moaldy grave, evenwith kings and princes
for our bedfellows. But the fiat of Nature is
.inezseahlett,0oShere is no appeal or reprieve
from the great Law that dooms US all to dust.
We flourish and fade like the leaves of the
forest, and the frail est flower that blooms and
withers in day has not Trailer hold on life
than the mightiest monarch that has ever shook
the earth BY his footsteps. Generations ofmen
appear and vanish like the grass; and the count
less multitude that swarm the world to day will
to morrow disappear like footprints on the shore
"Soon as the rising tide shall beat
Each trace will vanish from the sand"
In the beautiful drama of Ion, the instinct of
Immortality soeloquently uttered by the death
devoted Greek finds a deep response in every
thoughtful soul. 1t is Natures prophecy of the
life to como. When about to yield his young
existence as a sacrifice to Fate, his betrothed
Clemanthe asks # they shall not meet again.
To which he replies. II have asked that dread
full question of the hills that look eternal; of the
flowing streams that lucid flow forever; of the
stars amid whose fields of azure my raised spirit
hath walked in glory. All, all were dumb.
But while gaze upon thy living face 1 feel
there's something in the love which mautles
through its beauty that cannot wholly perish.
We shall meet again Clemanthe."

CLOSED CHURCHEs.-The New York Day
Book says: Attention is very generally attrac-
ted to the circumstance, that large number of
the churches in this city are now closed. The
most wealthy and fashionable establishments in
particular. Now, we have to remark that there
is no kind of necessity for this. There are
hundreds of young divines, just entering on the
ministry, who would be too happy to preach in
these vacant pulpits. But the truth is, these
pampered clergymen "bear, like the Turk, no
brother near the throne" They do not like
to have any one preach to their congregations
bnt tt emselves, and so when pestienee is walk
ing in the noon day and the dying need every
consolation, these pious gentlemen are off in
the country fishing or bathing.

NJ. DEIANDE, of Paris has presented an in
vention which consists IN certain processes for
producing a new metallic alloy similar to silver
in appearance, and intended to supercede it in
various applications. Tin forms the base OF
The composition, and to prepare it the inventor
calcines it two or three times with saltpetre,
and reduces the caIcined part to powder, which
is melted down in crucible. When in a fluid
state it is purified by being mixed with char
coal powder, the clear part being drawn into
another erucible, ready for use.

SOLDERING SALT-CHLoRIDE OF ZrNC AND

salt without previously cleansing their surfaces
1t is made by dissolving lb. zinc in muriatic
acid, adding % ozs. salamoniac to the solution
and evaporating to dryness; the yields q lbs.
of the double salt. To use it, the salt, moisten-

timed, little solder laid on it here and there,
and the surface heated until the solder fuses,
when 1t flows wherever the sault was put, and
unites with the metallic surface.
