clined to believe, from our recollection Of
the "Fairview" letter, that "Fairview'

A WORD OF CAUTION.

Young men, readers of the PUBLIC
LEDGER, we have word with yon, and
with you only. How would you like a
description of the most beautiful girl IN
the United States2 Very much indeed
YOU reply. Well, on condition that you
will say nothing to the girls about it, you
shall have it.
The most beautiful girl in the United
States lives near Lincoln, Illinois. Her
hair is of that peculiar hue that a field
of ripe wheat throws toward the setting
sun. Her eyes send forth light so eff
fulgent and magnetic that strangers be-
come spellbound under its influence and
stand rudely gazing. Her cheeks bear
a bloom like the sunny side Of an early
peach. A pearl would seem almost
black beside her teeth. Her form is so
graceful that men worship her before
seeing her face. Her hands suggest the
idea Of waxen fingers tipped with YER
million. Her smile seems actually to IL
Illuminate her presence, and when she
laughs the listener fancies he hears sweet
music in the distance.
Young men, don't go about Lincoln,
Illinois. 1t is no place for you. You
had better remain sane with q homely
sweetheart, than become insane because
you cannot win the most beautiful CIR
in the United States.

COLD WEATHER.

1t is intensely cold in the North at this
time, but severer weather has often been
experienced. In the year l6OS the river
Thames was frozen over, and Stow s
Chronicle tells US that from the 10th Of
January until the 18th of the same, the
frost grew 80 extreme, as the ice become
firm and removed not, and then all sorts
ofmen. women and children went boldly
upon the ice in most parts; some shot at
prickles, others bloEed and danced, with
others variable pastimes; by reason Of
which concourse of people there were
many that set up booths and standing
upon the ice, as fruit sellers, victualers
that sold beer and wine, shoemakers an'
a barber tent etc" He adds that al
these had fires; that the frost killed al
the artiehokes in the gardens about Lon
don; and that the ice lasted until thu
afternoon Of the ID Of February, wher
1T vas quite dissolved and gone.

ONE. AT LEAST.

The press, whether Republican or DEM
ocratic, speaks in favor Of the new effort
10 settle our controversy with England
by a commission. 1t is, says the great
Democratic organ, the World, eminently
proper and advantageous that so import
ant a negotiation should be conducted
by commissioners, instead of single
representative of each government.
When the Ashburton-Webster treaty was
upder discussion in the Senate, Colonel
Benton animadverted with great severity
on the fact that Mr.. Webster alone was
left to manage our side Of the negotia
ton. Never in the annals of our his
tory" said he, was such q negotiation
before committed to a single hand" We
sent three ministers to France MAR
shall, Pinckney and Gerry in John
Adams time; two TO England (Rufu'
King and Mr.. Monroe) in Jefferson
time; FIVE to Client John Quincy
Adams, Bayard, Clay, Russell and Gal
latin in Madison's time--and numerous
other instances. The new Alabama ne
gOtiation is therefore 10 be started in thu
line of sound precedents, and in con
formity with the prudent maxim that il
many councillors there is safety.

RAILWAY SUGGESTIONS.

A New York paper says the accident
on the Hudson River railroad, near New
Hamburg, has given rise to numerous
suggestions, which should find a place IN
the public study of such an unfortunate
catastrophe. First, it has been pointed
ont how weak most of our railroad
bridges are, and it has been suggested
that two trains ought not to pass bridge
at the same time. Again, attention has
been called to the fact that a majority
Of the accidents on the Erie railroad
during the past year or two have been on
railroad bridges. Freight axles break
every few weeks, it is reported, crossing
the Hackensack bridge and on the
Newark roads. They break also at
switches that are used only occasionally.
Wheels and axles of freight cars break
every day. 1t has been fortunate that
on the Erie road the cars breaking have
fallen toward the river and not on the
other track. Another suggestion, maue
first many years ago out in Nevada, is
that each pair of tracks should be laid
fifty feet apart. That this would not be
easy on the Hudson River route is evil
dent. Somewhat more practicable isthe
suggestion that oilcars should be ex-
cluded from railroads used for passen-
ger travel, but this will hardly be prac-
ticed until separate routes are used for
the transportation of freight and pas
sengers. Another suggestion is that
some competent authority should inves-
tigate the whole traffic system of our
railroads, and devise greater precautions
for the security of life and property.

M1ss1ss1ppI BOND QUESTION

We are gratifed to discover from the
tone of the press of Mississippi that the
attempt of the carpet-baggers and specu
lators TO vitalize the old Union Bank
bonds, and to tax the people Of the State
to pay them, is not likely to succeed
The movement is made in the interest Of
the holders of the bonds. Who they are
at this time is not, perhaps, known
Money has not been wanting to carry
ont the scheme. 1t is desperate at
tempt to enrich few stock gamblers to
the utter prostration Of the resources Of
the people Of the State, who are as limo
cent of the responsibility for the issn'
ance of the bonds as are the people Of
New York. Two-thirds of them were
not born when they were put upon the
market. And now comes the specuia'
tor and buys them up for next to
nothing, and attempts, through the
only agency capable of such an
outrage Ia Radical Legislature), to
enforce their payment To a man,
we trust our Mississippi neighbors will
resist. They should resist with every
weapon that God and nature have put
into their hands. The Mississippi OF to-
day is not the Mississippi that issued the
Union Bank bonds thirty odd years ago.
The old Mississippi repudiated them as
fraudulent, unconstitutional and VOID
That old State has now no existence.
It was abolished by the consolidated
Government at Washington. 1t was
State ruled by white men. The present
State of Mississippi is not the old State.
1t is not governed by white men. 1t is a
State founded upon the overthrow OF the
white man, and the elevation of his
late slave to his place in the gov
eminent. No, there is no obligation
either moral or legal to pay those
bonds. The stock gamblers may, as
the Clarion says, secure the infiu-
ence of all the carpet-baggers com
hined, and these carpet-baggers may sue
coed in passing bills recognizing the debt
anew, or imposing additional taxation
for its payment, but there is power be-
hind the carpet-baggers greater than the
carpet-baggers themselves. 1t isthe tax
paying people, the bone and sinew OF
the country, who are not to be caJoied
nor dragooned into this measure OF fraud
and oppression. The moral influence OF
their concentrated opposition to the
scheme will overwhelm every effort TO
revive it. And if this fail, they will
recompense tax-gatherers who may be
willing to risk the peril of collecting a
tribute for the gamblers with a short
thrift and a long rope. There is limit
10 endurance.
