HYPERcRIT1oAL.-The Delta of yesterday eve

and committed bull'' in the following SEN

There were two Typographical errors in the
quotation as printed, as we are aware; but we
had always supposed that our neighbor of the
Delta knew enough Of law Latin to substitute a
right for wrong letter, and enough of printing
TO comprehend the mistakes that will soms-
times unayoidably occur in composition. Espe-
cially ought the lenicnoy of our contemporary to
have been extended to US, while an article stood
at the head of its editorial columns which agreed
neither with grammar, logic, fact, nor any
other qualification of good composition If the
errors made in our manuscript deserved the
epithet taurine, certainly those which abounded
in the article of the Delta could be fifty
described by nothing less than assinine. Our
friend of the Delta is known to be a fast Walh-
er. consequently there will be but little danger
of his being poked.

A dispatch from Buffalo, dated the 18th ult.,
gives the following further particulars of the
frightful ravages Of the cholera at the Niagara
Suspension Bridge:
learn from the most reliable source that the
ravages Of the cholera at the Suspension Bridge,
on the Canada side, are far worse than repre-
sented Our informant visited the scene yes
terday, and found almost everybody capable of
moving had deserted the vicinity, leaving the
dead without burial He discovered in one
shanty woman so far gone as to be unable to
move, and the dead body of her child, seven
years old, laying by her side in an advanced
state of decomposition.
In another house he found two men, one dead
and the other dying, without succor. In
another shanty he found three unburied bodies
so much decayed that he could not venture to
disturb them, and set fire to the shanty and con-
sumed the bodies. / learn, as reliable fact,
that several bodies, only partially consumed
were to-day being rooted up and devoured by
the hogs

The Mails.

what il the matter with the mails For sew
eral days past their irregularity has caused us
considerable Inconvenience, and put us to much
unnecessary, if not improbable labor in hunt
ing up matter for our news columns, and rejuse-
mating rather old items. Not only have the
mails been behind hand in their arrival, but
also very scanty in their contents after arrival
Papers that should have reached us weeks, If
not months ago, are just received, and many Of
those due to-day have been delayed until some
future period This state Of affairs is BY nc
means creditable to the Government or to the
Post-ofice Department, and is far from pelng
satisfactory to the public. If Uncle Sam IS, as
is boosted, e rich enough to give us all fame'
he assuredly ought to be able TO keep his con
tracts and give us all a mail--when 1T Is due
Thus far he has failed very badly.
1t is difficult to ascribe this fault Of which we
complain to any particular locality OF to any set
of persons. Our own Postmaster assuredly IS
not in fault. He would not favor one city paper
at the expense Of all the rest, or afford an assist
ance to one journal which he denied the re-
mainder His knowledge of the rules and regu-
lations of the Post. Office Department is too
intricate to allow such supposition, even were
his inclinations otherwise-as they are not.
But we daily receive news Of the negligence and
inattention of other officials sufficient toparalyse
any branch of public or private business The
Postmaster at Chicago is said to have t,co rum
dred bags Of mail matter, undistributed, at his
office, and, we suspect, the same is the case IN
other places.
If Uncle Sam needs higher rate Of postage,
let him say SO. We, for one, are ready to pay
| it; but this sort of shuttle we do not like, and
can not acquiesce in 1t puts us to the wall
and compels US to furnish our readers with old
instead of recent news. A reform is highly
needed in the Post -ofie Department, and We
| live along in hopes Of seeing it accomplished,
Mr. Post Master General, give us later news
| and more regular mails.

WARMrH.-Yesterday was by no means as hot
and sultry as the days which have preceded it,
overcoats and thick clothing were, nevertheless,
quite unnecessary and the warmth was sufficient
to keep up an agreeable state of perspiration
from morning until far into the uight We are
Just now blessed with the most agreeable and
equable weather, and have been SO for some
time past Its continuance seems highly proba-
Bile, as it is, most assuredly, highly desirable.
The health ofthe city, also, continues to be most
remarkably good We have but few cases Of
yellow fever, and none of cholera. The predic-
tons of the spring-that the present would be
both healthy and pleasant summer-ar being
fully realized. There now remain only few
weeks of hot weather, and these promise to he
of unequaled health and agreeableness.

A PROPOSITION FROM FREDERICA BRE-
MER.-The National Ldelligencer contains
a long communication from Frederica Bre-
mer inviting associations of Christian wo-
men i'll all lands to enter into an alliance Of
love, and cooperate in caring for children,
by means of a Christian education; for fam
lilies, by exercising Christian influence by
the distribution Of work aud its Just reward;
for the sick and the aged, by affording them
protection and help; for prisoners and other
fallen fellow creatures, by compassionate ex-
ertions to raise them from their sunken con-
dition; and, finally, by encouraging all in
stitutions and means, aiming to promote
such purposes" The practical means of
gaining these ends, Miss Bremen suggests
should be as follows:
"FWSt-That there should be a commit
tee in the capital of each country, which
should enter into communication with all
the different female societies of that land.
gather all particulars relating to them and
their work, and thus be able to take a sur
vey of the whole.
Secoad-That each central committee.
being the organ of circulation for all other
societies in that land, should, through its
secretary, or some other corresponding mem
Der, communicate to the central committee
of other countries the principal details of
the work of female societies in its own, to-
gether with accounts Of such Industrial ef-
forts Of good institutions standing in con-
nectiOn with the aim of the society that
have arisen in their country.
THird-That printed circular contain
ing these details may be sent, free of post
age, at the end of every year, from every
central committee to all those of other coun-
tries with whom they stand in communica-
ton"
Miss Bremen makes the above proposition
in behalf of female benevolent society in
Sweden, known as the Ladies Association
at Stockholm for the care of Children" of
which she is the superintendent. She con-
chdes her appeal with the following adju-
ration:
"Sisters, who acknowledge the same Lord,
let us unite in his name-let us call forth
every good gift and healing power he has
given us-call them forth prayerfuly, dill
gently to do his work more fervently than
ever before As far as the sun sends its
rays, and the free winds blow over the
earth, may our peaceful messages fly like
doves from land to land, from city to city,
undisturbed by the bitterness of strife, 50
that the world may know that the God of
peace and love is more powerful than the
spirit of war, and that he calls us to be his
servants"

The HONEY BEE.-The experiment has
now been thoroughly tried, and it is ascer-
tanned beyond doubt, that the honey bee
will do well in California. AS evidence of
the fact, Judge Daniels, of this city pur-
chased two hives in December last. each of
which have swarmed twice, the oldest, or
first swarm from each hive having swarmed
twice, making in all from the two, an in
crease of six swarms the first season. They
appear to be remarkably healthy, and from
the weight of the hives that were tried. have
laid up an ample store Of pure delicious hon
ey, gathered from the surrounding gardens
and orchards. In localities where they can
have an abundant supply of fresh flowers
and vegetation, as they can here for eight
or nine months of the year, we have no doubt
but that the yield of honey will be greater
to the hive, than it is in the native country
OF the bee.-San Jose Tribune.

CONFIDENCE IN ONES SELF-When a
crisis befalls you, and the emergency re-
quires moral courage and noble manhood to
meet it, be equal to the requirements of the
moment, and rise superior to the obstacles
in your path. The universal testimony of
men whose experience exactly comedies
with yours, furnishes the consolng reflection
that difficulties may be ended by opposition.
There is no blessing equal to the possession
of stout heart. The magnitude of the
danger needs nothing more than greater
effort than ever at your hands. If you prove
recreant in the hour of trial, you are the
worst of recreants, and deserve no compass
sion. Be not dismayed nor unnamed, when
you should be bold and daring, unhinching
and resolute. The cloud whose threatening
murmurs you hear with fear and dread, is
pregnant with blessings, and the frown
whose sternness now makes you shudder and
trembe, will ere long be succeeded by a
smile of bewitching sweetness and bcnignity.
Then be strong and manly; oppose equal
forces to open difficulties; keep stiff upper
lip; and trust in Providence, Greatness
can only be achieved by those who are
tried. The condition Of that achievement
is confidence in ones self-Richmond Post

BROTHER JoNATHAN.-The following stri-
king portrait of Brother Jonathan was Civ
en- by Rev. A. L. Stone, in his grafton at
Boston, on the 4th July: "Some have called
him the young Giant of the West. He has
many grades to be sure; he does not wear
patent leather and ape the exquisite, but
gets up early and dresses in haste; he does
not spend much time before the glass, and
often is satisfied with passing his hand
through his hair to keep it from his eyes;
his shoes are loose, but he stands firm, and
when he swings them the momentum is con-
siderable; his hands are large, but they have
a hard grip; his shirt collar is stiff, but
keeps him looking straight ahead; his bea-
yer rim is morrow, but it does not prevent
him from taking an upward view; his coat
is short wasted, and the covering of his
neither limbs is scant; but he is growing
fast, and bears about him so many clements
of success, that it does not encourage his
opponents to try fall They make game
of him, and that is just what they find him
game"

A REMARKABLE CoINcIDENCE.-A GER
tain lady in the town of c.. not exactly
sick, but expecting to be so every moment,
sent in haste FOR DR.. H., who, although a
quack, had considerable practice, and had
lately added to his reputation by curing a
boy of what he called "concatenation of the
BRAIN The doctor hurried to the house,
where he found several old wives, "whose
great experience" in such cases at least,
had made them sage" anxiously awaiting
his arrival. DIR. III. bustles up to the bed,
feels his patients pulse, examines her tongue,
prescribes hot bricks for the feet, mustard
plaster on --. Here one of the women,
who all this time had been exchanging CLAN
ces of astonishment at such unusual reme-
dies, interrupted him with-"My goodness.

long without them. 1t cannot be disguised
that both parties have fallen into this suici-
dial error. And what has been its effect?
Talent has been deprecated. Fitness for
Office has sunk into contempt. The most
meritorious services of Craftsmanship have
been treated with whitening insensibiIity.
If man has commanding qualities of nature
and reaches the front rank among his party
associates, it is certain death to all his hopes
and prospects. "Principles,' not men," is
converted into his guillotine The martyr
dom, too, is by no means heroic. There is
no crown awaiting it. Only a song like
"Lucy Neal" or "Dan Tucker" makes the
requium, or perchance a parody on "Old
Grimes is dead"
Reviewing the history of our country for
the last twenty years, we see nothing so
painful as this sacrifice of our best men,
There has been nothing to Justify it. There
has been nothing even to palliate it. A
short sighted policy, no deeper than the
shamsOf the moment, no wiser than the mi.
rage Of the senses, has given it birth. Men
have cried out "Expediency," "AvailibiIi-
ty," New Men" But the magic has hurt
the magicians sorely. Like the exercised
spirit in the Bible, it has turned on its old
friends and handled them roughly. Perhaps
the general bruising may bring us all to oul
senses, and teach Us that any country which
fails to take care of its best men, may soor
lose the power to take care of itself.

A 1IoTHER's LOVE-
BY DR.. FREDERICK HoUCH.

Oh! if on earth there is power to bless,
All have the sweet and sacred right to prove,
1t is the boundless stream of tenderness,
The holy beauty of a mothers love!
Ne'er need mans bosom yield to dark despair
While one green spot remains to blossom there.
Friends may forsake, or coldly may forget
Him, who in happier days they have caressed;
But one whose gracious tears so oft have wet
The cheek that made its pillow on her breast,
She never will forsake no, never! never!
She loved me first, and she will love forever.
In good or i'll, in glory or in shame,
No changes, my mother, could there be i'll thee
Thou still wOudst know me only by the name
So oft I've heard thee whisper tenderly.
She binds me to the home, the hallowed scene,
Where all my sweetest, purest joys have been.
Where are the visions of my early years
OF all the rainbow hues my fancy shed,
So lavishly around this vale of tears,
All, save the shadows they have left, are dead
And yet mourn them not, while may prove
The pure and fadeless sunshine of mothers love

MORMON PREACHING IN ENGLAND.-The
Liverpool Mercury states that at Mormon
camp meeting held on Runcorn Beacon
Sunday, the 23d ult., some uproar ensued on
account of the lavish abuse which the prea-
cher poured upon other sects, whereupon
one of the "saints" declared that he had pro-
vided himself with pair of heavy boots for
the occasion, with which he was then ready
to kick ten OF a dozen of them down the
hill, after which he would fight a brace Of
the best men in the field. The challenge
was accepted, but owing to some one giving
out hymn the fight did not "come of"
