The Sin OF Tatiiiug.
BY HENRY WARD BEEcHER.

A family have a sacred right to privacy.
In guarding the delicate relations OF the
household, secrecy becomes a virtue.
Even if by chance the private affairs of
household are laid open to a stranger,
honor would require him TO turn from
them. and if a knowledge of them were
forced upon him, they should be locked in
a sacred silence.
A double obligation of silence and Sc
cresy rests upon one who is guest in
family. The turpitule of a betrayal OF
family history by visitor. Is far greater
than theft would be- To pocket half a
dozen silver spoons would do far less dam
age, produce lar less suffering, and be less
immoral. than tale bearing. 1t is thing
so scandalou- that it should degrade II
person, and put him out of good society.
To betray the secrets of household Is
not only an odious immortality, but II Is a
sin and a shame to be on good terms with
those who are known to commit such out
RACES They are misereants. They put
themselves out of the pale of decent 20,

outlaws.
These hungry-eyed wretches who SIT in
the unsuspicious circle of parents and
children. treasuring their words, spying
their weaknesses, incorporating the IN
nocent liabilities of the household, and
then run from house TO house with their
shameless news, are worse than prisoners

FEMALE CLERKs.-Many of the lady
clerks of the Treasury Department have
been under the impression that recent
act of Congress provides that they shall
receive the same salaries as the male
clerks of the same grade. Authority Is
given in the Legislative, Judicial, and ex-
ecutive appropriation bill for the fiscal
year ending June 30, 1870, for the en-
ployment Of sixty female clerks in the
Office of the Treasurer, and for their sala-
ries there was appropriated $4,000 I'm

receive more than $500 per annum, con-

CONSPIRACY TO MURDER THE JAILER
IN CANANDAIGUA. = We are informed
that the United States prisoners confined
in Jail at Canandaigua entered into
conspiracy to assassinate the keeper OF
the institution, and then make their es-
cape therefrom. But fortunately the plot
was discovered in time by the jailer to
enable him to Illustrate the designs OF
those engaged in it. Two of the prison
ers who were shackled together, and, OF
course, occupied the same cell, by some
means managed to procure small saw,
by which they managed to saw off the
rivets which held the shackles together.
This was done during Thursday night,
and the plan was arranged for these two
prisoners to attack the keeper with the
iron shackles, knock his brains out. then
take possession of the keys, open the re-
naming cells, and allow all men chance
to escape.
But the jailer acted more cautiously
] than usual yesterday morning, in opening

vear He entered college in the Univer-
sitv of Vermont in the year 1886, and
carried himself through it almost if not
opite solely by his own exertions. He
graduated in 1910, and went at once to
porter. He was employed for some time
on the New York Tribune, in its early
days, and Mr.. Greeley in his Recollections
speaks of him as one who surpassed all
the men who had worked with him In the
capacity for unwearying rapid work. lie
was for many years an assistant editor,
with Gen. James Watson Webb, on the
New York Courier and Enquirer, and left
it eighteen years ago to start the Ne"
York Times, which very soon took RANK
which it has ever since held, among the
leading newspapers of New York city'
and which, under Mr.. Raymond man

s9ccess which has few parallels
in newspaper history. lie early
took prominent position IN polll-
cal affairs While he was attached
to the Courier & Enquirer, he was elected
delegate to the National Convention OF

in the nomination of Gen. Scott. FOR
