Too BAD.-The New York Courier and En-
quirer states that the democratic board of coun-
cimen Of that city awarded the corporation
printing to that obscene flash weekly sheet
the Police Gazette: and that too in face of the
fact, that the News and the Day Book, two re-
spectacle democratic journals, are issued in the
city. Well, we suppose there is no accounting
for peoples taste.

The editor of the Transcript appears to have
been made very unhappy by paragraph in
THE SPY in relation to Capital Punishment.
But the mans unhappiness is solely owing to
a jaundiced eye, or a sort of sectarian strabis-
mus. Our paragraph made no "sneer at RE
LIGIoN, for which we have, possibly, as much
respect and generation as the unhappy gentle
man in question. With our ideas of Capital
Punishment he has perfect right to take
issue; and should he do so, we trust his great
piety will prevent him disappearing u.s. Fair
play is not only jewel, but cardinal virtue
without which even our neighbor's religion
is but paltry profession.
The Transcript intimates that, because a
great majority of the community in every
State but one in the Union" have established
hanging for capital Offences ergo, hanging is
right, proper, and in accordance with "reli-
gion." Judged by the same standard, where
would religion" be? The great majority"
of mankind, even in Christian lands, are, we
regret to say, still unbelevers in the TRUE
MESSIAH. Will this stickler for mqjorities say
they are right?

MANUFACTURES. &c.

At the soiree of the British Association,
holding its meetings at Leeds, were exhibited
the patents granted in 1873 and 1853 to Lewis
Paul, the original inventor of the Cotton Spin
ming machine, for which Arkwright now has
the credit, and the profits of which he reaped !;
together with autograph letters from DR.. John
son to the Duke of Bedford, recommending
Paul to his notice, as the inventor of the me-
chanism. Probably this was one of the cases,
of which there are many, where inventors
have hit upon the true principle of a valuable
invention, but, owing to some imperfection in
the details or workmanship, fail to make it
practically useful, and it is left for some other
and perhaps even less ingenious man, to take
it up, and, by supplying the deficiency, to
make it valuable to himself and the world.
Such is understood to have been the case in
reference to the famous card setting machines,
one of the most curious and useful of modern
inventions.
One million eight hundred thousand dollars
the sum necessary for the organization of
the new corporation of the Washington Mills
(late the Bay State Mills, of Lawrence,) has
been subscribed, and the mills will probably be
again put in operation in the course of
month. or, as soon as the corporation can be
organized.
The Monadnock Mills, Claremont, N. H.,
have made up their accounts for the past six
months and exhibit profit ofbetween six and
seven per eentum. The directors have not de-
cided upon the amount to be divided.
The famous "Ship Mill" of Seig & Co., in
james River, two miles West of Richmond,
Va, was burned last Thursday week. The
mill was a large ark anchored in the stream,
containing mill machinery, driven by large
wheel, operated by the current of the river
The owners lose $4,000 by the concern.
The Washington Wooden Mills, near Utica,
N. Y, were destroyed by fire on the 18th 1t
is said to have been the largest wooden factory
in the State, and was owned by Rockwell &
Ferry and the Utica Bank, and was insured for
only $4,000.

THE GREAT CENTRAL PARK IN Nav
YoRK.-The work on this mammoth enter.
prise is now pushed forward as rapidly as nos.
sible. Three thousand aborers are employed
The drives which wind very pleasantly around
the Park are in an advanced state of grading
and the greater part of the force is now EN-,
ployed in matchmaking A part of the soil
is taken off from where it is rich and deem
and piled up to be used in covering the barren
lodges which abound over the broken surface
OF The grounds. The land is pulverized and
iertllized, and several large nurseries arc nj.
ready growing trees, to be hereafter trans
planted. The parade ground and cricket
ground are got up on a grand scale, and there
Is skatingpond, or will be, when it freezes
containing sixteen acres. Much remains 10 be-
done, but the progress Of the work is certainly
very encouraging.

The ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH EXHIBITS
SIGNS OF LIFE.-De Sauty or De Sanity, lit is
a great and unsettled question how the man
spells his name,) under date of Dist, says he
that day received at Trinity Bay "well-marl1ed
currents from Valentia." He further reports
that the word Henley" was received. This
fact, if such it is, is a confederation that cur
rents do find their way through the cable; as
it is known that Mr.. Henley designed, about
this time, to test the cable, at Valentia with
his powerful machine. We still have some
faith that the present cable may prove success
full but, should it not we have great faith
that another will. Let us wait in PATIENCE
We ought not to expect perfection in the first
experimental cable. 1t had been just as rea-
sonable for the world to expect perfection in

GUANo DISCOVERIES. - Washington, Dec.
Ut is known here that further large and
valuable deposits of guano have been discover
ed in the Pacific Ocean, and formally taken
possession Of by citizens of the United States
and that they have been recognized under the
act OF Congress, passed in 1856. Among these
Islands are Malden's, Aurther's, Howland's
and Christmas and at one of them there is
said to be a land-locked harbor in lagoon. six
miles broad by twelve miles long, which is en-
tered from bay outside, where ships can safe
ly anchor i'll seven to ten fathoms of water.
Almost the entire surface of this Island more
than forty miles long and fifteen broad, is re-
ported to be covered with guano from one to
ten feet deep. Especially is this so for miles
around the Lagoon, where hundreds of ships
can lie, and thousands Of boats work at once
loading them. Our Government has done
wisely IN appropriating treasures of this sort
