All reports agree that there never vas
SO general an exodus of Americans to
Europe "a this year. The New York
Times sees the matter in the right
light:
q" The reason is not, as one might sup
pose, that the voyagers have large sur
plus fortunes which they can find no
sufficiently spcl dy way of spending
here. The truth is that European trv-
ell may often be rather an economical
move. 1t costs very little more, if one
knows how to manage, to pass the sum-
mer in Europe than it does to pass it in
the fashionable resorts of America; and
a comparison of necessary expenses at
or near European or American water
lng-placos will tell the reason why. So
again, while the ocean journey is UNI
doubtedly costly affair." the difference
in prices of food, clothing, &C., on the
two shores, is very great. Many peo-
pie whose villas were wont to be the re-
sort of city friends from May to No
vember, will be found to have escaped
to Europe; and for others, perhaps a
business stroAe, friendly commission,
a desire for new sights, a placinS of chill
dren at school, a summers or years
study of profession, or what not, is
sufficient inducemenl for the trip. AT
all events, tie summer movement to-
ward Europe is already marked; it will
be much more so as the season advances.

GRANT AND CHASE.-Judge Chase,
whose relations with the Republican
party are not supposed to be very close
or of a very ardent nature, recently OK
pressed his cordial appreciation of the
line Of policy adopted by President
Grant He alluded to the fact that the
members of the Cabinet were men of
unquestionable purity of character. and
spoke warmly in praise of the steps in
itiatcd by President Grant to reform
abuses in the internal revenue service,
to promote an early adjustment of the
Indian difficulties, and his efforts in
behalf Of the restoration of the Southern
States. The Chief Justice remarked
that if Gen. Grant continued to act up
on the high principles which had thus
far apparently Influenced him, it would
not be long before his administration
would have the cordial support of a
vast majority of the people without dis
tinction of party.

completely from sight. A gang of men

hardly with the hope of rescuing him,
and after working some eight hours
succeeded in digging him out entirely
uninjured. The falling walls had for
tunately formed an arch just over his
head, thus saving him from instant
death. During that long period his
head remained firmly pressed down up
on his breast, and his arms were also
pinioned. But few inches space re-
manned .Or his head above water, and
his lower eXtremities were embedded In

whole time he distinctly heard the lnen

from his perilous condition. 1t was
remarkable escape.

ENGLAND DURING THE REBELLION.
just now anything which refers to
the part played by England in the re
elton is of interest We find
the following in the Scientific
american in 1864, and though
it may be said that this is evidence of
only the opinion and work of private
individuals, it shows what nation the
rebels relied on for such aid: "The
facility with which Gen. Lee repairs
his railroads, after they have been torn
up by our cavalry raiders, is accounted
for by facts, the truth of which is I'M
doubted. Gen. Lee has, in cOnjunc-
ton with several English railroad engi-
neers, organized corps of railroad con-
structOrs which has this matter in
hand. Large supplies of new railroad
iron have been received from abroad and
placed at convenient points, and dupli
Gates of all important bridges are also
on hand. With this agency and these
means. the damage which can be done
is rendered merely temporary and il is
quite certain that the rebels were able,
in marvelously short space, to put in
running order both the Virginia Cen
trail and the Lynchburg roads,

THE TREASURY AND SECRET SER
VICE BUREAU.-Thc Journals CORES
pendent says that Solicitor Bcntield of
the Treasury Department, is about to
thoroughly reorganize and reconstruct
his bureau, and to weed out everything
that smacks ofinefficiency. During the
war, number of offices were necessari-
ly created as eXigencies arose, and the
bureau consequently assumed uAdue
proportions. The work having now
been nearly all brought up, their servi-
ces will now be dispen. ed with, and the
result will be a saving of at least 5000
per annum to the Government.
The Secret Service Department, which
is under the control and direction of the
Commissioner, il also to undergo re-
vision, and all inefficient and dishonest
officers will he summarily dismissed,
and the very best men that can be OBJ
tanned will be selected ID fill all posi-
tons, high and low. Every applicants
past character will be inquired into, and
experience will be requisite to an APP
pOintment. Mr.. j. II. Robinson, of
Marblehead, Mass, the Assistant Solici-
tor, is earnestly cooperating with his
chief in all proposed reforms, and under
the new administration of affairs, the
office gives promise of admirable man

ION could there in this world be found
S some little spot of happy ground,
Where village pleasures might go round.
Without the village tattlinS,
How doubly bost that spot would he,
Where ali might dwell i'll liberty,
Free from the bitter misery
Of gossips endless pratliuS'
Every community is cursed by the
presence of class of people who make
it their business to attend to every
body's business but their own. Such
people are them eanest specimens of de-
PRAYED humanity which all-wise Pro-
violence permits to exist on this cursed
earth. 1t is well known that almost
every person is sometimes disposed to
evil of others; and tattling lisa sin from
which very few can claim to be entirely
exempt. But the object of our present
article is to speak OF that distinct class
of tattlers who make tale-bearing the
constant business Of their lives. They
pry into the private affairs of every
family in the neighbOrhood, they know
the eXac state of one neighbours feel
ings toward another; they understand
every bOdy's faults, and no little blund-
er or misdemeanOr ever escapes their
vigilant watchtulness. They are parti-
cularly well posted up on every thing
connected with cOurtship and matri-
mony, know who are going to marry
whom, and can guess the exact time
when it will take pace. They watch
every movement of parties suspected OF
matrimonial intentions, and if there is
the slightest chance to create disturb
ancc, excite jealousy or g break up II
match, they take immediate advantage
OF it and do all in their power to keep
people in constant state of veXation.
They glide quietly from gentleman to
lady, from mother to daughter, from
father to son, and in the ears of all they
pour their dark, bitter whispers of
SANDER, abuse, and at the same time pre-
| tend to be the most sincere friend Of
those they talk to. Their back and
nauSeOus pills of malicious SANDER are
sugar-coated with smiles and honcyed
words of friendship.
Tattlers are confined to no particular
class of society. They belong to all
classes, and operate mall. We find among
them the ricn and the poor-''uper ten"
and the clover mill Ion" in the church
and out of it. They are people who
have no higher ambition than to be well
informed in regard to other peoples
priv a,e business, to retail scandal to
their neighbors, and eXult in fendish
triumph over the wounded feelings and
bruised hearts of their innocent victims
Beauless old maids and childish mat
rOns make the most accomplished scan
dal mongers in tie world. They seem
to take to tattling from the prOmptings
of natural Instinct, and they prose-
cute it with an energy that would do
internal honor to their great leader-the
prince of darkness himself Our con-
tempt for such graceless creatures
knows no bounds, and we can find no
words in which to express its infalny.
What punishment they deserve we can
not know but God knows, and as sure
AS his eternal justice reigns, they will
receive a retribution proportioned to the
magnitude of their offences against the
laws of tod and the interests of human
ity.

facture Of lumber at the Little Falls, on
the Winooski, at Williston, in connec-
ton with several partners, numbering
among them the late John Bradley,
Harry Bradley, Horace S. Nichols, and
Judge FOllett, all of whom he has sur
vived. OF no marked religious bias, he
was an attendant at and an active sup
porter of the Congregational Church in
his town. Though disliking the excite
ment Of political life, he regarded 1t as
a duty to be at the polls, and at the last
annual meeting of the fresmen cast his
vote for State and County officers.

There is no mistake about it, Planta-
ton Bitters will ward off Fever and
Augue and all kindred diseases, if used
in time. No family need suffer frc m
this distressing complaint if they will
keep Plantation Bitters in the house,
and use it according to directions. The
most important ingredient of this medi-
cine is Calisaya or Peruvian lark
which is known to be the finest and
purest tonic in the vegetable kingdom.
The extract of this Bark is the active
principle of all the good Fever and
Ague Medicines presc. ibed by intelli-
gent doctors. Calisaya Bark is used eX-
tensively in the manufacture of Plan
tation Btters, as well as quinine, and
we dare say they owe their popularity
mostly to that fact. We can recommend
them.
