KIDNAPPING GIRLs.-The~ police records make US
acquainted with the alarming fact that within the last
three weeks less than six girls known have
been stolen from their homes i'll this city for the
purposes. How many more cases of the same kind
have occurred, which unknown to the public is a
matter Of terrible conjecture. The crime of kdnap-
ping children and young girls has increased lately to
trighttu extent. Either by strategy force, the
ranks of the most wicked and abandoned class are
constantly recruited from among the virtuous and in
nocent, both in town aud country. It is one of the
most hdeous qualities Of the social evil that Moloch-
like it is perpetually drawing victims into its fatal
gulf of inany The most active agents in this nea-
rous traffic, sad as it may seem, women who under
pretense Of friendship and offers of high wages sue
coed in tempting youth and innocence to take the first
step in of sin and shame. 1t is enough to
alarm the boldest to think that girl of fourteen can
be snatched up III the middle of the day on our
crowded Streets and carried place secure from the
utmost vigilance of the police Death itself is less
dreadful than the fate into which these unfortunate
girls plunged beyond hope chance of reclama-
ton. Parents will dread to let their children run at
large if such glaring crimes can go undetected This
evil great it is is far more prevalent than is
generally supposed The public hear Of only few
accidental cases, for the that the distressed
relatives and friends of girls thus lost naturally
anxious to keep their sorrow quiet, and avoid the i'm
piled disgrace that often attaches to such misfortune
But at the risk of woundng private feelings it
would be better and safer for the public generally that
the frequency of this enormous practice should be
made known, far and wide, that all may be on their
guard against the ylanous agents who stalk abroad in
day time Streets aud whose accomplices Turk
unsupported in almost every village in the land for
the express purpose of dragging souls perdton 1t
will be dsgracefuif police authorities cannot very
materially mitigate, if not altogether prevent this
appalling danger New York Sun.

PHoNoGRAPHY-l What is it?-in the dearth of EN-.
ployment for our young men and women, we commend
the study Of this improved and important art. The
Memphis Appeal says:
Photography is the realisation of the pretensions Of
all other systems, for with brevity and rapidty
combined legbility and reliability. There are, per-
haps not ten stenographic reporters in the United
States, all prominent and accomplished writer's of
short hand praccing in the United States, in the Can
adas, and III England but use photography. Our
government recognises it as the OILY reliable system
Of short hand. In all the courts-martial, military
commissions and investigating committees, where the
aid Of short hand writer Indispensable, phono-
graphers were employed. These facts, coupled With
the attering testimonials this great art has received
from eminent of this country and England place
it among the great arts of this age of steam power
and teegraphy. Not only is it useful as means Of
reporting, but likewise expedites the laborous duties
of the correspondent the author and the divine. No
young aspiring to either Of these mentioned pro-
LESSONS should neglect this art, when it be at
tanned, comparatively speaking, with little labor.
Photographic reporters are ever in demand, and in
FIVE years or perhaps less the demand will be doubly
increased, fer every court in this State requires
and will have, an official reporter at that time.

CONTRAST BETWEEN THE FRENCH AND PRUssIAS Gov
ERNMEsTs-''M alakot" the Paris espondent of the
New York Times draws tie following contrast be
tween the Government of King William l. and that Of
Napoleon Ill:
While at Paris the Government conceais all its
transactions, and allows to Judge its conduct
the people in Prussia allowed to meet and to ez-
press publicly their desires Thus u. Bismarck shows
again bis superior diplomacy. lie lets the nation lead
in appearance, and he follows. He in fact provokes
the people to commit themselves to a line of policy
which be finds it easy and safe afterwards to follow
out. But Napoleon keeps his negotiations to himself,
and when an able man like d. de Girardin attempts to
give him advice he Furnishes him by stopping the sale
of his paper, the Liberty, on the street. The Par-
slams are thus informed that they are not capable of
thinking for themselves; if capable that they are
not worthy of having anything to say in the conduct
of the affairs of the country. NJ, de Grardn is pro-
nounced to be bad and his doctrine bad doc
trlnes. The opposition, although they embrace almost
the total of the able men of France are anarchists
and disorganserS the enemies of society," So that
Prussia has this advantage France that there the
Government instructs and strengthens itself BY hear
ing the criticisms of the public, whereas here the Gov
eminent conducts its affairs in silence and like conspi
rators. IT man dares to speak sharply in the Cham
bers he is crowded down, Or his remarks are not
reported if he writes sharply his paper is suppressed
It is true that one way or another people manage to
say than it possible to say few years ago
but then writer's or speakers have to adopt subter
fnge have to adopt ingenious antiquities Of speech
to arrive the idea they wish emit the effect of
the reasoning is spoiled on the readers hearers
mind.
As things stand at present. therefore, the pahlc of
France are enraged seeing Prussia disposed to hold
a dangerous fortress on the French frontier which
does belong to her. and theyare enraged at their
own Government for violently shutting their mouths
at the most critical moment through which France has
passed under the second Empire is impossible but
that out of such position we are to have terrible
crisis of some kind somewhere.

How GEN. PAINE WAS TAKEN DowS.-Ab bout the time
the cruel and thirsty General Paine was at the
zenith Of his infamous in Middle Tennessee he
met with some gentlemen at the festive board ir
one of the towns not far from Tullahoma, then his
headquarters-perhaps Shelbyvile-and while the
party trying, not rebel bushwhacker," but
some old Robertson county whisky plain old coun-
tryman from the vicinity made his appearance and was
invited to take glass; and give the party sentiment.
He told them be would drink with them but could
give them sentiment. The party, joined by General
Paine, urged him, but he still declined, and finally
gave as reason that the sentiment be would propose
might give offence to the General. The latter assured
him that it would not but the countryman dstrused
Paine. After the most positive assurance from Paine
that no ofense would be taken let the sentiment be
what it would, the old countryman prevailed upon
to give his sentiment Taking the proifered glass he
gave With much deliberaton-

0uING THE SEA.-An experienced sea captain writes
TO the New York Herald that he has been at sea for
tEentyseven years and master of vessel for the last
ten years and during that time he saved the vessel
under bis command twice by oiling the sea-" He
writes that "when the master Of ship cannot get
out of stortn-hat is when ship is disabled and be
has to take the het Of the gale he has oil on board
start two or three gallons over the side of the ship
This will give the ship smooth water to the wndward,
and then the oil allowed run drop by drop is all that
is required for soon the comes in contact
with the oil it breaks, and the ship is in smooth water
as long as the oil is allowed run. In 1864, in the
heaviest gale saw lost all my sails, then the
rudder and know the vessel could not have ridden
the sea for an hour if | bad not had oil board.
Five gallons Of oil lasted ftysx hours, and this
saved the vessel cargo and lives board Let ships
of heavy tonnage have two iron tanks of forty gallons
each each side, with faucet arranged that the
oil be started at any time; small vessels, ten gal
Ion tanks and all ships boats tanks of five gallons
each, well filed, that in case the ship founder or
burn the boats will have oil smooth the sea in
