y - Fifteen thousand careless people in the United States,
every week, neglect 70 pct stamps on their envelopes"
We clip this item from an exchange. and on read
ing it our thoughts naturally reverted to a slate
which hangs al the General Delivery Of our Post
office. upon which is noted the address of letters
upon which postage Is wanted. before they can pro-
coed on their journey. Somebody is either careless
or ignorant as to the rates of postage. and as the
letters are principally from the other islands it is
natural 10 suppose that the Postmasters are 10
blame. To most people it is a task to write a let
ter, and after it Is accomplished they must certainly
feel disappointed 10 hear that the letter is detained,
through their own or a Postmaster's ignorance or
carelessness. Synpathizing with such, we have
taken the trouble to note the addresses in this item.
and By 50 doing hope 10 oblige our subscribers.

If it was to prove that all missionaries under the

Missions" not only do no good but inflicted a posi-
tive injury on mankind, the writer of a so called
Pastoral Address" would be entitled to the high

The Origin Of the Locomotive.

In the matter Of priority Of invention
In, or rather of attempts at, land propul-
sion By steam, the French may well claim
TO be our deeancsers, and we do not think
that any true Englishman will be inclin-
ed to grudge them this honor The
hrst steam carriage seems to have
been made by Frenchman, Cugnot, in
100. that same marvellous year which
witnessed the birth of Napoleon l., Well
ington, Humboldt, Mehemet Ali. Lord
Castlereagh, Sir E. l. Brunei, Cuyier.
and the first patent of Arkwright. the
first patent of Watt, as also some other
events almost as great in their eventual
influence on the present era. An engine
made by Cugnot is still in existence in
the Conservatoire des Arts ct Meters at
Paris. 1t has copper boiler, very
much like common kettle without the
handle and spout, furnishing with steam
a pair of bin. single acting cylinders.
The engine propels a single driving
wheel, which is roughened on its pc
riphery. Altogether, this engine bears
considerable testimony TO the mechani-
cal genius of its inventor It was ui,
successful, having got overturned once or
twice on the very bad roads then exist
ing IN France, and it was put on one side.
~ 10 stAtcd, doH ever. that arrangements
were made, in 1901, to put it to work in the
presence of Napoleon ,Bonapa,te The
departure, however, of Napoleon for
Egypt, prevented the trial "a cir
cum stance which recalls Fulton's subse-
quent unsuccessful negotiations with
Napoleon for aid in attempting marine
propulsion by steam. Watt, then, in
1ls4, patented a locomotive engine, the
boiler of which was to be ssof ,rood,''
hooped like beer barrel. Watt, how
ever, had not much faith in steam car
riages, and he objected to the attempts
made in this direction, in 1854, by Will
liam Murdoch, his very able assistant.
The miniature engine made by Murdoch
in that year is still carefully preserved
at Soho. Careful and elaborate re-
searches, such as those lately made BY
Mr.. Zerah Colburn, into the history of
the locomotive, seem to more and more
confirm existing impressions as to the
great part done by Trevethick in the in

pnblicans- The Republican Board of
Supervisors of Cook county at once de-
termined to checkmafe the parties who
eoncocted the plan. The result is known.

votes of forty-one Democrats and hirtg-
f,eo Republicans, after having been We
toed by Republican Governor % We
have seen but two Republican Journals
IN the State that pretend to excuse or
apologize for this outrage, and it may be
safely affirmed that not two in every
hundred Republicans in the State sus-
tain it. We have not seen one Democrat
ic journal that regards the Chicago rail
way bill as anything but a capital joke
Both the Democratic journals here were
warmly in favor of its passage
Let us look for a moment at the be-
havlor of the Democratic party toward
its own spectators. During the lat
ter half of the last Democratic Admin
istration, charges of fraud were prefer
red against one John b. Floyd. Secre-
tary of War. Does any one remember
the Fort Smelling swindle : or the alb
straction of the Indian Trust Fund
bonds or the public printing frauds of
Mr. Buchanan's Administration The
treason hatched in the Cabinet of that
Old Public Functionary was so hideous
that most people have forgotten the
stealing that kept pace with it Yet it
Is recorded fact that the Democratic
party in Congress resisted all investi
CATION into those frauds to the bitter
end. They put every possible obstacle
in the way. They never admitted that
single improper transaction had been
committed until one half of Mr. Bu-
chanan's cabinet took up arms against
the Government, A few years ago a
Democratic Governor of Illinois de-
frauded the State of n quarter of a mil
lion dollars. The proof against him
was as clear as A. b, G. Yet this party
stood by him and defended him to the
last, and Democratic grand Jury
finally ignored the bill of Indictment
against him and gave him a clean bill Of
health for his travels in Europe The
penitentiary swindle is too fresh in the
public mind to require extended com
ment. That every Democrat in the Leg
lsiature voted to perpetuate the fraud,
and to continue the penitentiary lease in
the hands of men constitutionally in
capable of holding it, is we'll known
We might pursue the contrast between
the two parties in the legislation and
government of other States, showing
how the Democrats, in Ohio, for instance,
fought against any investigation of the
Bresiin fraud-how the Republicans in
W Wisconsin did investigate and expose
the transactions of their Governor Bash
ford and his Legislature, etc, etc, The
rule holds good, without an exception,
so far as we know, that the Democratic
party never punish their own knaves,
md never make restitution of stolen
goods, while the Republican party send

WOMEN DRIVEN TO MARRY.


When you make marriage indispensa-
BILE, you institute an indiscriminate
scramble. Since in theory every girl
must marry, and there are few to choose
from, she must take such as she can get,
and be thankful. She would like this,
that or the other quality, but it will not
do to daily. The chance of better
husband is very remote; numbers are
worse off than she is, inasmuch as they
have none at all the contingency OF
going unsupplied is not to be thought
of, and accordingly she takes up with
what comes to hand. The few who are
endowed with unusual charms of mind
or person may exercise a limited choice,
but the common run Of girls must make
a common run of it. IT one who Is SO
attractive as to have many admirers re-
mains long unmarried, she IS abundant
ly admonished Of her danger She is
duly informed that she will one day
grow old. and will certainly not always
have such opportunities as she now en-
joys. Her attractiyeness Is her stock IN

may even be generous and chivalric to-
