English Postal TeIegraIns.

Notwithstanding the objections To the PERFORM
ance by government agency of work that can he
left to private ENTERPRISE, there are some attractive
features in the English plan of postal kilograms
under the management of the government. The
object Is TO render the telegraph more generally
available for the transmission of news, and 70
adapt il 10 the popular wants. Great objections
are urged against the English telegraph system.
that apply with only too much force 10 the Amer
lean telegraph system. The charges are excessive
and capriciOus. No due regard Is paid to the
public convenience. and there are many places to
which the Geographic lines do not extend. Ii Is
proposed 10 remedy these defects by placing all
the telegraph lines IN the kingdom at the dispOs-
nj Of the government, with 4 view u uniform rates.
that will bring the telegraph within the reach Of
all classes. and ultimately modify the delivery on

bill fr this purpose in Parliament, and the meas
ure meets with general approval.

A WOMAN KILLS HER HUSBAND. -
On Sunday last man named Clark, who
lives near Keeser's Rocks, on Sandy,
came to town and got beastly drunk.
went home, and, as usual, when in this
state, commenced abusing his family, and
kept it up until late hour in the night,
beating his wife, threatening to shoot her,
the children, or some one else before the
next day. He got a gun into the mouth
Of Que of the children and threatened to
shoot him, but an older boy knocked the
gun away and took it from him He
then sent another child somewhere in the
neighborbood of the house Ca feld) to
get another gun he had there loaded, all
the time vowing be would kill some one.
While the child was gone be pulled his
bed into the floor and lay down, wnen the
mother, for fear of her life, or that of her
children, seized an axe and struck him
several blows, the first Of which proved
fatal, he not moving after being struck.
The woman and her family were arres,
ted and brought into town on Monday,
and examined before Judge Norris, The
evidence proved that the act was done to
save herself or children from murder, and
they were discharged.-BY Sandy Ky

She should have a fine head little wide
above the eyes, bat quite small below, and
appear somewhat long. Her nose should
be Of a rich yellow color, or at all events,
not black; (we do not know of any full
blooded stock, Of any breed, with black
noses, but they frequently appear on stock
as high bred as fifteenth. sixteenths.) Her
eek should be very small where it Joins
the head, but widening and deepening as it
approaches the shoulders and briskets.-
Her udder ST. Guild be of good size, we'll

clined to feshiness ; large milk veins and
small delicate horns-they may be long
in some breeds, but they should be fine.
and she should have yellow skin.

Of the day receiving his friends and writ

are those of a student; and it is delightful
to see him striking every now and then

FEMALE CoLLlERs. unpleasant
feature of the English coal mines IS the
large number of women employed at the.
pit mouths. The number thus employed
in the neighborhood of Wigan alone is
i've hundred, most Of whom are unmarried.
They vary in age from twelve to fifty
years They generally wear a peculiar
attire, consisting of coarse trowsers, re-
sembllng those worn by men, fastened with
belt round the waist, soft bonnet and
shawl. The petticoats are generally
tucked into the trowsers. Sometimes
they may be seen wearing jackets Ii c
the men, smoking, drinking, and behaving
as if completely unsexed. The habitual
wearing of this costume tends to destroy
all sense of decency among them. They
naturally belong to very low class, but
IN some cases make good wives and moth
ers: The labor reqired of them is hard
and very dirty, rendering their persons
and clothing as black as coal, They have
to assist in removing the tubs Of coal from
the cages at the mouth of the pit, some
times assisting to tip the tubs INTO the
coal wagons. The work is severe even for
men, yet the women appear accustomed
to it, and as class, seem healthy and
robust Their average wages is Is I'd,

CONSERVATIVE SOLDIERS FIzz1E

Pursuant to call for a convention of
conservative soldiers and sailors of this
county, as published in the Banner, for
the past month, Col G.. I. Thorn and
Lit. Geo. ". Bird, assembled on Friday
last, on the steps, under the verandah of
of the Jefferson House, and unanimously
Uoted, that the soldiers aud sailors bitter
ly condemn the course of our radical
Congress that the SO called Gen. U. S.
Grant is political humbug and cowardly
butcher; and that Andy johnson and
Brick Pomeroy are the the guiding stars
of our distracted country. Being remind
ed Of the soldiers and sailors convention

a LOOK AT THE ENEMY.

The Democratic middle is fully as be-

side infideis No Democrat can be in
duced to express himself on the situation,
but all are anxiously waiting the action
of their convention to know what their
princip Piles are and who 'Fthe coming man.
may be. We admire their prudence in
keeping quiet, for if there should be
much talking, and they should put them
selves on record, there is no doubt but
persons with good memories might trou-
BILE them after the Fourth of July to
prove consistency. They are also very
sensitive on the subject, and inquisitive
Republicans are often assured that it is a
matter which does not concern them
But they surely ought not to blame US,
since We have got our leaders chosen and
line Of battle formed, for being curious
in regard to the enemy and tactics we
are TO meet. We want TO know whether
We have got to fight bear, catamoont or
skunk. It is an interesting question with
US whether Chase, with a. record and
principles, Seymour, with a record and
ability, or Hancock, with neither priuci-
pies, ability or record, is to be pitted
against the hero of Vieksburg,
If Republicans may be flowed to ex-
press themselves or this subject, We would
suggest another opinion to add to the

that it will be followed by an election ;
IN that case he will be the last man to
refuse it. Gov. Seymour, with all his
apparent Indifference is ambitious to be.
come President; yet he will wait patient
y rather than suffer the great injury of
being a defeated candidate. No party
can ever get him to lead a forlorn hope
But the day is close at hand when these
questions, which now SO vex the Democ-
racy, will be solved. The issue will then
be made up and published to the world.
But whatever principles they may cnuu-
ciate, or whoever their nominees may be,
there will be for them no such popular
response as gree ed the noble resolutions
of the Chicago Convention, aud the nom
nation of Grant and Colfax.

LADIES BooTs--The Philadelphia
Telegraph says: "The only real re volu-
ton in fashion is the startling innovation
in boots. Instead of the invariable black
to which we have been SO accustomed, a
mandate as severe as those before which
Media and Persia trembled, has pronoun-
ced, under the terrible punishment of be-
ing behind the time, that the ladies
must be robed 'cap.a-pie' in the same
color, or rather, that the boot must har-
modize in hue with the rest of the cos
tune. Thus, if the robe be trimmed
with gold or silver, the boot becomes also
apparently solid casing of these pre-
cious metals. Kid and morocco are
manufactured in all the tints that are
used in street suits, from the color of the
sky above the ladies' heads to the hue of
the dust beneath their feet. The same
style Of very high boots, buttoned at the
side, with high heel, is also the eza CT
ed costume for the ball room"

notwithstanding the duality of its mem
bers. We saw the Hon. Bill WoodmaD,
D. F. Jones, and other old bummer5,
hanging around ''on the verge of the
convention" but not being military we
suppose they were there merely to en-
courage the good work. We saw no

undoubtedly their absence IS accounted

gagements However, we presume the
