Good Advice to Vanderbilt.

Mark Twain writes an open letter

Gan | wish to urge upon You now
is, that you crush out your native
instincts and go and do something
aoorthy of praise-go and do some>
thing you need not blush to see in
prlnt-do something that may rouse
one solitary good impulse in the
breast of your horde of worshippers;
prove one solitary good example to
the thousands of young mon who
emulate your energy and your indus
try shine as one solitary grain of
pure gold upon the heaped rubbish
of your life. Do this, / beseech you;
through your example we shall short
~ have in our midst five hundred
Vanderbilts, which God forbid Go
now, please go, and do one worthy
act. Go, boldly, grandiy, nobIy and
g1Ue four dollars to some great public
charity. 1t will break your heart,
no doubt, but no matter, you have
but little while to live, and it is
better TO die suddenly and nobly
than to live century longer the
same Vanderbilt you are now. Do
this, and | declare | will praise you

a Southern View Of the Inaugural.

For how long has it been that we
have had President, either from the
North or the South, before this one,
who, in formal avowal Of his SEN
timonts and programme of ac>
ton, has Ignored the Negro as a pc,
litical issue, and avoided sectional
illusions altogether And how
strange it seems to have the elect of
a party, whose spirit toward the
South has seemed little less than Sa-
tanic, presenting his views of the na.
tional situation without making one
offensive reference to the recent past,
or applying one insulting epithet to
those OF whom it has been the custom
of the favorite leaders of that party
to speak only as "rebels," traitor"
and "felons." -Richmond Wing.
1t seems to us that the document
breathes catholic spirit toward the
whole country, and we do not fail to
remark the absence OF the vocabulary,
so unfriendly to the South, which
characterizes the utterances OF the
politicians of the radical party. The
reserve exhibited in the whole paper
seems to us to indicate very we'll
defined and determined policy on the
part of the Executive, and tends to
elevate ones estimate of the intelli-
gence and ability of the speaker

Queen Victoria.

A correspondent Of the Boston
Journal, speaking Of Queen Victoria,
says: GAS Sovereign she is the
hardest worked woman in Englnnd.
Her official duties commence at z
o'clock in the morning, one hour be-
fore breakfast Wherever she is,
dispatches are sent daily by messen-
gers, who ride in first class cars
bearing what are called baskets.
The papers from all the departments
are submitted to her. These baskets
are dark morocco boxes about one
foot in length. These are sent from
Downing street, the Admiralty, the
Home Department, the Head Of the
Army, etc. Each basket is locked
blythe MinisterIwho sendsit A card
hanging from the inside contains the
name of the Minister Every train
TO Windsor, Balmoral, and Osborne,
carries messengers with these boxes.
The Queen and the Minister alone
can unlock them. ALI these docu-
ments have to be read by her, for she
signs nothing which she does not
read Every bill, act, treaty, docu-
ment, petition, or paper requiring
her name, are subject to her person
al attention. Her Majesty is admit
ted to be one of the best business
women in the kingdom. Each days
business is finished before the day
closes. Usually, the messenger waits
and takes the basket. locked by her
Majesty, back to the Minister from
whom it came. The Queen holds
ready pen and carries on her person>
al correspondence, which is very
large. She pays her own postage
like any lady in the land. She has
always given personal attention to
her children, and their religious
training has been the object of much
solicitude and care. Her favorite
pastime at Balmoral is among the
poor, the lowly, and the sick, with
whom she talks, reads, prays. and
leaves medicines, food, money, and
little tokens of her regard.

Grant and the Missouri Office.

A Washington correspondent of
the Chicago Times states that the
radical delegation in Congress went
to see General Grant about the offices
in that State on Saturday, and thus
relates what occurred:
Before they could hardly say any,
thing, the President said: "Gentle-
men, | suppose you have come to see
about the Missouri appointments. -
They replied that such was the case.
"Well," said Grant, 81 have already
made up my mind as to most of
them. | have selected George w.
Ford to be collector of internal rev.
enue in st. Louis. He is a good man.
There is Colonel A. II. Easton, an
old friend of mine, who helped me,
nine years ago, in st. Louis, to get
the office of county surveyor. / in.

delegation, at these announcements,
stood aghast. Gas to the postoffice,"
added the President, 81 have deter
mined to make my old friend Gener
al A. j, Smith, postmaster. They
are all good men. You cannot OBJ
ject to them" The delegation did
not dare to object, but they were in
tensely surprised. Not one of those
men were on the slate of offices
which the delegation has made up
After afew words they retired in con-
fusion.
As for the candidates, the CORES
pendent says they were worse con
founded than the delegation.

s@There is a model farm in Now

by William Back, who settled in Ra-
cine township in 1856. He had suf>
ficient means to purchase 480 acres
of land at government prices, upon
which be went to work. His labor
was reasonably rewarded. After
seven years of hard toll and econom>
ical living, he began the erection
of a handsome residence, which he
finished in 1864. His barn will ac-

Power OF THE EsT.-The Phila-

NEW YORK, March

Tea swindling is now carried on
by the wholesale in the city. The
success of the original company has
led to the establishment of numerous
Great American Tea Companies, etc.,
etc., which advertise that they im-
port direct from China. The major
ity of these companies are, however,
bogus, humbug concerns, imposing
upon the public the worst quality of
tea. | do not speak from hearsay,
but my facts are obtained from a
gentleman who has been behind the
scenes as an employee. One of these
concerns buys cargoes of tea that
have been damaged, or well nigh
ruined, by water, ETC., etc. The in
iured tea is transported to the com,
pany's warehouse, not thousand
miles from Wall street ferry and
spread out to dry upon roofs prepar>
ed for the purpose. After the, dry
ing process is completed. a small pro-
portion of good is added to the bad
tea, and the whole is then done up
in packages to fill orders received
from all over the country. This is 8
rascaIly species of swindling, anc
will soon, we trust, be overhaulec
and headed off by the police.

The Treatment of Criminals.

Among the numerous delegations
to the Home Secretary was large
one this week on the treatment of
criminals They told Mr.. Bruce that
there are now 112, 403 professional
criminals at large, and in the Me-
trOpolis $3.50 receivers OF stolen
goods, and $50 lodging houses for
thieves. Nc. Bruce hoped the num-
bers were Lot increasing, for he found
by his returns tLat there were 369
criminals less than the previous year.
But crime, it is certain, has in it little
risk the punishment is not cared for;
the worst criminals are among the
good prisoners, who have adopted
crime as a profession in preference
10 labor, and WHO make no secret of
their preference. They consider OPP
IN theft as good as ordinary cheat
ing, if not as respectable, and that
sort of responsibility is just what
they do not care for. Thieves have
their own society, places Of meeting
public houses, amusement. They
have their own public opinion, and
care little for any other. The war
now going on between the openly
dishonest and the supposed honest,
or reputable members ofsociety, res
embles the border warfare of centu-
ries ago. or that common to new
settlements with ueighboring savage
tribes. There will be, | think, a
change of tactics soon-public prose>
cutors appointed, receiving houses
broken up, longer terms OF imprison,
ment. If England should be made
too warm, you may expect a large
emigration to America. London Pa

From the South.

The following is copied from the
correspondent of the Chicago Jour
nal of March 1.
&c Charleston sits in mourning. The
heart was burned out during the
war, and not rebuilt. The houses
look old and shabby, the door yards
generally surrounded by high walls
like Jail Enclosures. If you wish to
enter, you can ring the door bell
from the sidewalk. The former rich
aristocrats are in retirement, seldom
seen on the streets. Three fourths
of all you met are blacks.
From Charleston to Savannah we
go by steamboat Our way is by
the ruins of Fort Sumpter, and down
among the sea islanders Of South
Carolina Seven-eighths of our pas.
sengers are from the North. South
erners have.no money, and little dis
position to travel. Even our boat
Captain says Il never go on shore

and 30 many new faces from the
North" Great, indeed, is the change.
These sea islands yield the best of
cotton worth eight or nine times
more than the same amount of up
land cotton. The best of it is sold
to silk merchants, and with silk it is
is manufactured into silk goods
for our ladies. On these is~
lands were located great plantations
of the L. f. V. Retts and Co., hun
dreds and thousands of acres often
in one plantation. The Seabrook
family had some eleven thousand
acres and twenty. FIVE hundred slaves.
Their wealth was immense. How
now ? "Massa gone, and niger
stay at home Free" or he is dead,
his wife living on charity in Charles
ton, and his profiigate son driving a
street car in that city. The estate
is all heavily mortgaged, and the di>
lapidated place is inhabited by the
blacks. Behold how gill gotten gains
taketh toitself wings and flies away"
This is but a sample.
Savannah is the best looking and
most enterprising city we have yet
seen. The Yankees are here, quick
ening things into life. The fine cot
ton crop of last year, in this part of
the South, here finds a market, and
the Northerners are on hand to help
make sale.
| experience no trouble as North
ern traveller. The Southerners feel
subdued, now the more thoroughly
since the North spoke so loudly at
the last November election. They
feel they must submit to the situa-
ton" negro suffrage and all still
they family but fondly hope that
General Grant will disappoint the
expectations Of the radicals, or, in
other words, Johnsonize himself.
