ciated Press touches upon the reason why
such combinationlis impossible in Europe.
He says:
There is no such thingin England, nor, of
course, IN any other European country, of
news telegraphed from various places and
simultaneously conveyed to,newspapers of all
shades of politics and purposes, and by these
Journals to their readers at one and the same
time In fact, Foreign newspapers make very
| little use of the Electric Telegraph. The
leading London and Continental daily journals
receive kilograms from principal parts, but as
| this is at the proper and separate expense of
each individual paper, the cost prevents any
like details. Two or three lines per diem is
all that London paper receives by. telegraph
from Paris, -and, rice gersd, that Paris paper
receives from London. Indeed, when com.
munlcdtlons in cypher are forbidden to be
sent over any line in France, where the Gov
eminent claims the right OF reading every
message before 1t is sent, and of dealing in the
same way with every Disqualification "outside
barbarlans, and putting veto upon the trans
mission or reception of such messages, it is OBJ
ylouS that newspapers cannot receive any very
confidential news in this way. AT each tele-
graph station, a Government official looks over
every message handed in. The sender who has
paid for its Transmission, goes away with the
belief that in very short time, his message will
reach its destination. But if the official does
not like the wording of the message, if he finds
or fancies that there is more in itthan meets the
eye, ne SIMPLY says, This message cannot
| pass and there it rests, on his private file!
speedily to be submitted to the Minister of the
Interior, who may or mayn not allowit to be sent
on next day. The same way with messages re-
celyed. The Official carefully reads them, one
by one, with suspicious mind and very vigilant
eye. This" says he, hath smell of trea-
son, or "Ihis hath an ancient and fish-like
smell of conspiracy. These must not be sent to
the persons for whom they are intended.n Tho
Minister of the Interior examines Them and
sometimes allows them to be sent to their desti-
nation-eighte or twenty hours after arrival.
Suspicion fancies treason in every line. "Rum
is riz,n may allude to the outbreak of a con.
spiracy, and "Sugar have FELL" may intimate
the intended prostration of dynasty. For
these, and other reasons, kilograms are very
scarce in European papers, independent of the
whole cost being borne by each Journal, and
not, as with US, distributed among many.
Tue decision at Pittsburgh, in regard to the
Allegheny Bonds, is generally commended
The N. Y. "C0urief" speaks of the decision
thus
'Itinvolyes considerations ola financial char
acter which are likely to have lasting effect
upon the credit ofAmerican Securities. The
decision will give tone to legal opinions out Of
Pennsylvania, and give great satisfaction to the
holders ofRailroad bonds generally. y =
Our readers are probably aware that public sen.
tlment in Western Pennsylvania has oflate lean
ed towards reputation, in view of the obvious
mlsmanagement and fraudulent conduct ofsome
of the officers engaged in creating the new debts
now: under protest, and if the matter were left
to popular vote, the majority in favor of assum-
ling these debts as valid, and taxing propertv
holders therefor, would be small, if any, in the
affirmative. This shows the necessity off placing
under independent judges these questions in
which popular feeling and excitement are apt to
warp the views ofthe masses, and to blunt that
keen sense of honor which should be maintained
IN large communities"
The Courier speaks ofthis decision in con-
nection with bad faith of Mississippi, Flori-
da and Arkansas which stand before the world
as States repudiating tnelr hunasF- IA,

ALL ABOUT a TA1L.-A fierce war is raging
in the Boston papers, in the shape of communi,
cations from Professors Norton and Pierce
each ofwhom has theory of his own about the
tail. of the comet, lately visible here Prof. Nor.
ton says:
81 claim to have established, Independently
OF others, the existence ola repulsive force em.
anatlng from the sun, extending indefinitely into
space, and decreasing with the distance; and
that the cometic particles are driven off into the
tail, singly and dsconnectedly by this force"

a queer case developed itself in one of the
Troy On. ~ police courts last week 1t was
in short, the sale of "a wife, by her husband, for
81, in which certain articles of furniture were
thrown in, or else the furniture was bought for
i the money and the wife thrown.in. Peter Mel.
Eson was the husband, and he became satisfied
that his vile had an affinity" for one Thomas
scudder. The fact could not be disguised, and
Peter, like an orderly citizen instead of raising
a storm abou. the matter, sat down and gave
the subject calm reflection, arriving at the con.
clusion that scudder might have the woman fol-
the price named. After the sale the parties
qqarrclled about the furniture, and Peter thrust
them both out of doors. A SUIT for assault and
battery brought out this interesting state Of
