wrong, such as the continuity of the roadway
and the safety of the permanent bridges; but
there are Others so liable to be wrong, that
reasonable safety lies only in the presumption
of peril until there is positive assurance of
safety.
The same report, to which we have referred,
recommends that on important double-track
lines of railroad, telegraphc sgnal-stations
should be established at intervals somewhat less
than the shortest that are permitted between
trains going in the same direction, and each
train, in passing station, should be informed
by signal that the preceding train has passed
the next sgnal-station, or, in the absence OF
such signal, stop for explanation, or proceed
under proper regulations, expecting TO overtake
a disabled train. AS one of the most frequent
forms of accidents on main lines of railway is
the collision of one train with the rear OF another,
this suggestion is of considerable value.

The retort, 'You're another" is sometimes the
most effective answer at hand when one is called
upon to repel a well founded charge of miscon-
duct and folly. 1t may confound the accuser
and divert attention from his charge; but it
does not amount to satisfactory vindieation of
the accused. This kind of evasion may be for
given in an exposed delinquent, who has no
other resource at the moment, and in using this
practically admits his inability to meet the
charge on its merits; but it is inexcusabe for
an unconcerned critic of men and events to at
tempt to mitigate the general indignation
against one who has been guilty of an act of
conspicuous baseness, by suggesting that Others
have offended in the same way or might have
fallen if exposed to the same temptation.
One of our contemporaries has a word
of apology of this kind for Winans, the pur-
chased traitor in the New York assembly. Ad-
hitting that there is no doubt of his guilt, it
says that he is not so much worse than a great
many others, who now cry out against him, but
would have accepted the bride if the chance had
been offered them. This may be very true, but
it is no reason why the actual offender should
not be scourged as he deserves, nor is his i'll de-
ser less because Others are ready to be as bad as
he. One of the principal uses of expressions of
popular indignation and contempt is to deter
those who are weak and potentially wicked from
becoming openly criminal, and the stronger
the suspicion that there are others
ready TO yield to the same tempta-
tion which has proved too potent for one mans
feeble virtue to resist the more important is it
that the general detestation of his conduct
should find emphatic expression. Another
paper makes the same kind of apology for Mrs.
Woodruff for publishing the cruel scandal about
Mr.. Goldsehmidt. Her offence may be shared
by hundred other American newspapers, but
the offence is notlessened by that circumstance,
nor is that any reason why it should not be de-
nounced, but rather the contrary.

rHURsDAY, ApRrL 20. ian,

1t is stated that the English Methodists are
organizing missionary crusade against Nor
mondom. The Mormons make their converts
chiefly in England, Wales, and the Scandina-
Wan countries. Their agencies in England are
perpetually at work. Theypuhlish newspaper
there, and one of Brigham Young, Jr.'s two
wives lives Ia England or did live there three or
-teeGGf years ago. A very large proportion of the
English converts TO Mormonsm are drawn from
the Methodists. This has the attention of min
listers of that denomination; and they propose
to send out missionaries to reconvert the Nor
mon backsliders from their communion. The
method of operation they have under considera-
ton is to send ont missionaries to hold camp
meetings near Salt Lake City. AT these meet
ings, the preachers will discuss Mormonism,
and, if possible, carry Mormondom by storm.
We hope they win try this plan of operation
and succeed.

ANEcDoTE OF DANIEL WEBsTER.-It is well
known that the late Daniel Webster was man
Of luxurious tastes and expensive habits, which
frequently brought him into pecuniary difficult
ties. Apropos of this friend sends us from
Washington the following anecdote, which we
do not remember to have seen in print; A
western gentleman, shortly after the great
statesman's death, inveighed seriously, TO a
mutual friend, against these habits, and enforced
ms remarks with a practical illustration. "Why,
sir, he exclaimed, 81 travelled all night with
Webster in stage coach out west, not long ago,
and in the morning we all got out at a little no.
tel to stretch our legs and get breakfast. Web.
ster took up travelling case, with combs. hair
brush and tooth brush, all of which he used
vigorously. When he'd got through asked
him to lend me his tooth brush, as there WASN'T
any at the sink where we washed, and Mr.. Web
ster eourteously complied. After using and
rinsing it off handed it back; and, will you
believe it? the extravagant fellow just pitched
it over into the bushes. 1t was good new
brush, too, and might have lasted him two OF
three months longer. No wonder he was always

A New York paperis amused by the announce
ment that it is proposed to teach needlework in
the public schools of Boston, and indulges in
some sarcastic remarks upon the wonderful ac-
complishments of the Boston girls, who are I'M
derstood to acquire in the schools all the learn
ing taught in the university, and all the arts
practiced in the states prison. 1t suggests in
the same sarcastic vein, that, as cooking and
housekeeping are valuable Accomplishments, the
absence Of a cooking or Housekeeping depart
ment is defect in the Boston schools, which
ought to be supplied. This it appears to con-
slider as satisfactory demonstration of the alb
surdity of the new Boston notion, but SO far
from admitting that the teaching of needlework
is folly, the Bostonians are much more likely to
advance further in the path they have entered,
and seriously consider the advisability of impart
ing to the children in the public schools some
practical knowledge of the arts of housekeeping.
More foolish things than that have been done
in Boston and in New York.
