A New EMPEROR There is no longer
King in Prussia. Hereafter, the emf
ncnt individual who has born that name
is to be known by the haughtier title of
Emperor of Germany. TIE minor States
which Prussia has brought into complete
subjection, may feel perhaps less sore as
members Of grand German confedera-
ton than mere dependencies of Prussia.
The fortunes and misfortuues of these
States have been so many and varied
since the close of the thirty years war,
that no vicissitudes can well disturb the
equanirnity of the people, though they
had hoped some remnant of their polite
al freedom might be allowed them. As
it is, they will have to make the best of
their situation and await further develop
ments. In the event of another Euro
pean war, no matter where or for what
cause, the political status of the German
States would probably undergo some
change, as has been the case for many
centuries, owing to their central position
and extensive boundaries.

not be an unlikely event Of the present
Congress. The judiciary Committee, in
its report on the charges, urges that evi-

the nature of the evidence they claim to

The people will be glad that the sub
iect of Mormonism, or pollygamy, has
been severely, though justly, condemned
by the House judiciary Committee of
Congress. Our nation, while blessed
with many virtues, has been damned
with vices which have caused all good
Christians to blush with shame. Slavery
has been swept into the things of the
-Mormanism remains as a blur upon
our national reputation, an insult to the
God who governs all. Freedom of relig-
ious worship, in its broadest meaning
cannot be interpreted to premit the pros
titution of virtue and encouragement of
a vice in itself dark enough to call down
the vengeance of heaven. Let the laws
be enforced and polygamy among the
saints of Utah consigned to the same grave
where rests slavery, its twin relic CT bar
barism.

One of the annoyances to which people are subject on railroads is the clicketty- clack all the time making itself heard above the rumble of the wheels and the snorting of the engine, and any or all the other noises combined. This IS to cer- tain extent necessity, for it is accustomed by the wheels passing over the open points between the rails. Sometimes, indeed, the unevenness occasioned by one raii-end be- ing above or below its nighbor increases main cause. This might be remedied by 8 closer contact, but that the expansion of the iron rails on a, road, say 800 miles in length, in good hot Summers day, will amount to nearly quarter of a mile be- yond the extent to which the same rails
 will contract on snapping cold day Tn
 winter. Without the joints there would be g pretty state of things!-N Y. Tunes.

The New Haven Journal says that for several months past letter and mail pack ages have been missed on the different mail routes leading out of that city. These ab- straction from the mails became so frequent that detective officer B. K. Sharretts, who has charge of the New England post-office detective department, went to work to fer ret out the guilty party. After several weeks effort and search, he came to the con- clusion that MT. l.. P. Bryan, one of the mail agents, was the guilty party, and on Saturday last MT. Sharretts arrested MT.
 Bryan at the New Haven post and found on his person several packages he had ta- ken from the mails among which was one containing some artificial flowers. MT.
 Bryan immediatly admitted that he had taken other articles and that he had some gold pen cases and pencil cases at his home in Waterbury. which he had stolen from the mails. The Journal also learns that Mir. Bryan put old and defaced postage stamps upon letters mailed in the mail car and appropriated the good stamps on the letters to his own use. Also further, that he has been in the practice of taking out of the mails and sending off to his friends magazines en route to the subscribers.
 Quite agood many articles have been talk en but the aggregate value of them is not large. Among the articles taken was set of sleeve buttons worth about twelve dol lars, sent by young gentleman in New Haven to young lady living on the Hou- satonic road. MT. Bryan was taken before
 United States commissioner Ingerson on Saturday, and gave bonds to. the amount of one thousand five hundred dollars for his appeasance to undergo an examination.

The burial service was read over the re- mains of the late Elias Howe, Jr., of Bridgeport, in the First Universalist Church of Cambridgeport, Mass, Sunday after noon. The building was crowded. Rep resentatives of the sewing machine inter ests from New York, Boston, and other places, were present. The sermon was preached by the Rev. MT. Greenwood, Nal den. He paid high tribute to the memo " of the deceased gentleman, and said his generosity, industry and benevelence had proved great blessing to the poor. The coffin containing the remains was of rose wood, lined with satin, and inlaid and trimmed with gold. At the close of the services, the funeral cortege proceeded to the Cambridge Cemetery, where the re- mains were inferred.

DG The danger of using lead pipes to conduct water is established by many well authenticated cases. Many cases of paraly- sis are attributed by physicians to the use of lead water pipes.
 The N. Y. Times thus refers to the risk of using Patent Hair Washes:-
 It is pitiful to see how intelligent men and women will allow themselves to be fooled-there is no other word for it-by the brazen quacks of our day. There is generally just one sentence in their lying announcement that tells the truth; it is that in which "all other preparations" are denounced as dangerous,- tire~only2 i'm provement would be in leaving out the word "other." Reckless of the fact, thou sands rush blindly along the same road. Our attention has been called more partic- ularly to the poisonous compounds sold as halr-washes, re-invigorators, &c., by an ar ticle in the Journal of AppeM Chemistry The point is that most of the washes s'not a dye," (that is, which do not produce an instantaneous darkening of the hair, con- tain sugar of lead, which by uniting with the sulphur of the hair, or sulphur in the wash itself, form when exposed to the att mosphere, dark sulphuret of lead, which of course colors the hair. The use of these lead washes frequently produces paralysis. Two cases are mentioned from the person al knowledge of the writer of this article, one being paralysis of the left eyelid and tongue, the other being the left arm and extending gradually over the whole body. This is a subject that deserves attention. The cases of partial or total paralysis trace able to the use of these dangerous com pounds are many, and are growing more numerous. If people are not satisfied with the color which nature or time has given their hair, let them at least use no ''wash'' until they become satisfied by analysis that there is no sugar of lead in it. The manu- facture of these poisons ought to be pro- hibited by law. Their bad effects are more extensive than could be believed by un- thinking people-and there are many ~. r. Times. "".s -.:.
