British government has notified the Cunard
Steamship Company Of the termination Of their

for the British government to do with regard
TO British steamships. Those steamers have
thfived under the fostering care Of the British
government until they are able literally to run
alone. They have monopolized almost the
entire American carrying trade, both freight
ard passengers. Had our government been as

The TRIAL OF JEFF DAvIs-The time and
place for the trial Of JEFF Davis are now def.
nitely fixed. He will be tried upon an idict
ment for treason in the city Of Richmond next
month. Chief Justice Chase will preside, and
Attorney General Speed will conduct the pro-
secution, assisted by Judge Clifford, Of Massa-
chusctts, and VIM. NJ. Evarts, Of this city. The
defence Is entrusted TO Mr.. Charles O'Conor.
This trial will prove the most important and
interesting perhaps that has ever occurred;
certainly the most important on record In this
country. II will develop many new and curl
Gus points Of law, and, we trust, will settle
finally all the questions Of State rights, the
right Of secession and the law Of treason. II
will undoubtedly be watched with absorbing
attention by the whole community, North and
South. That It will be fairly conducted, a9j

REFORM IN the TELEGRAPH BUSINESS NEED
Edo used to be supposed that communion
tons by telegraph would be rapid and prompt
ly delivered. That seems to be The natural
idea of telegraph or telegraphing business.
Communications certainly pass with lightning
speed from station 20 station; they cannot be
retarded by Indifferent companies or lazy off,
Gals in their transmission over the wires. But
beyond that there is nothing done in tele-
graphic or express business-like manner As
far as our own experience goes--and we have
no doubt the press and business men generally
have the same experience-wc might almost as
well depend upon the mail for intelligence.
Latterly we have waited hours for replies to
dispatches that ought not to have occupied
more than half an hour in coming. We have
to complain especially Of the telegraph be-
tween this city and Washington. There is
something wrong in the management. The de.
spatches are either not sent promptly, or are
not delivered Immediately. Has the telegraph
business become monopoly, and do the COM
panies believe they can treat the press and the
public a. they pleases II so, they had better
not try the patience Of their customers too far.
Rivalry is hcalthful, and 1t may not be long
before rival telegraph companies may be
started. Let the telegraph men take this hint
and improve their ways.

That STRIPED PIG.-The striped pig has be-
come notorious in the history Of attempts to
suppress the sale of liquor. He is an animal
that is put on exhibition in bar rooms and SINH
lar places at times when liquor cannot be sold,
and the thirsty public Is invited 70 inspect this
curious animal for six or ten cents. Each
spectator is then presented with teddy gratis.
Thus the striped pig has become typical Of all
the lodges by which men evade the laws
against the sale Of liquor He seems likely to
DO introduced into the last crusade against
rum. Superintendent Kennedy decides that
the police can only interfere with dealers whcr
dispensing alcoholics over the bar. There r. q
way in which rum can be sold by all liceas
dealers on Sunday as well as other days The
dealer has Only TO christen his bar room a
restaurant, pat up dozen or two of tables,
with bread, cheese, chowder or any other con.
stituent part Of free lunches thereon. The
customer sits at the table, and TO the customer

what liquor be chooses Here are the words Of
the superintendent order:-"Under no cir
cumstances, howevef, will the sale of liquor be
permitted at the oar, but spirituous liquors, ale
or beer may be furnished TO any person at the
meal Of which be IL partaking." Osiensibly this
applies only TO restaurant, but 1t is. obvious
that all the saloons will at once become restau

probability that the law will become ridiculous
and dead letter. It Is useless 20 attempt the
enforcement Of the law If such loopholes ~

There is no fact more clearly establish
ed in the physiology of man than this, that
the brain expends its energies itself dur
ing the hours of wakefulness, and that
those are reeuperated during sleep. If
the recuperation does not equal the ex-
pendture, the brain withers--this is CALI
ed insanity.
Thus It is that, according to English his
tory, persons who were condemned to
death, by being prevented from sleeping,
always died raving maniacs. Thus it is,
also, that those who are starved to death
become insane---the brain is not nourished
and they cannot sleep, The practical IN
ferences are these:
l. Those who think most-who do
most .work--require most sleep.
2. Time saved from necessary sleep,
is infallibly destructive to mind, body, aud
estate.
A. Give yourself, your children, your
servants--giye all that are under you =
the fullest amount Of sleep they will take
compelling them TO go 10 bed at some reg
ular early hour, and to rise the momen
they awake, and, within a fortnight, Ma
sure, with almost the regularity Of the ris
ing sun, will unloose the bands Of sleel
the moment enough repose has been Sc
cured for the wants Of the system.
This is the only safe and sufficient rule
and as to the question how much SLEEP
any one rquires, each must be rule for
himseIf great Nature will never fail tc
write it out to the observer under the reg.
ulations just given.
