SUBSIDY BILLS TABLED.

In the Senate, Feb 25th, Williams of Oregon
moved an amendment to the Postofiice appro.
preparation bill, subsidizing the Australian Mail
Steamship Company to the extent of S3OO,O0O
per annum, but on motion OF Chandler the
amendment was laid on the table. On the
9th of February, the amendment proposed by
the Committee on Appropriations TO increase
the subsidy of the Pacific Mail Steamship Com.
pany from one-half to million dollars annually
also came up for consideration, and was laid on
the table by vote of-yeas, ~; nays, H.
This action of the Senate evinces disposition
on the part of members to put stop to such
games of robbery and swindling, and we hope
that now the amendments have been tabled
they will never again be resuirected unless il
is 10 throw them under the table. The course
pursued by the Senate, in regard to the pro-
posed Australian line aud the China steamers,
fell like thunderbolt on the lobbyists. who have
numerous subsidy schemes on foot, and they
have given up all hope of smuggling through
any of their corrupt measures 10 that line, for
the time being ut least The largely increased
Democratic element in the Forty Second Con
gress affords some hope that the public treasury
may no longer be plundered by these erasping
monopolies. The China steamships have been
curse TO the Pacific coast and an increased
subsidy from the Government would only ag-
gravate the evil by doubling the number of
trips of such vessels. thus aiiording greater
facilities fer the mangrel hordes of rat eating
yermn 10 swarm throughout the western
States aud Territories Instead Of Offering u
premium Tor the importation Of such n race of
beings, the general Government would be con.
suting the best interests Of the American pco-
pie by devising some means to get rid of those
already here. We DO not require cheap labor.
Ii benefits no one but the capitalist-by in.
rreaslng his already enormous profits. The
Radical theory. that the cheaper labor can bc
obtained the better it is for the country. when
analyzed resolves itself down simply to this:
that the less pay man gets for his work, the
better he is of. Capitalists and manufacturers
believe in the doctrine. and the dominant party
in control of the Government endeavor Ia re-
duce It to practice; but the working men
throughout the country, irrespective of past
purity affiliations, are beginning 10 renlize that
competition with the "heathcn Chure' is
anything but desirable, and that the policy
heretofore pursued. if continued, will prove
ruinuus to their interests.

VERDICT AGAINST A LIQUOR SELLER
The Cambridge (Ohio) Times gives the follow
ing account of case lately tried in the Guern-
sey county Common Pleas Court, Mrs. Watt
being plaintiff aud Samuel Boyd defendant:
The plaintiff is the widow of DR.. s. w.
Watt, at one time a prominent physician aud
surgeon, and an ex.Representative of this
county, who died about the 18th of September,
1869, from the effects of intoxication. She
set forth in her petition that her husband had
an extensive and lucrative practice which en-.
abled him to provide comfortable support for
his family prior to the time of the grievances
committed by the defendant. That since about
the first OF April 1865, her husband was in
the habit of becoming intoxicated and 30 con-
tinued until the time Of his death. That the
defendant continued during all of this time to
sell aud deliver to him intoxicating liquors, in
quantities from one pint to one quart, causing
him TO become habitual drunkard, and inca
pable Of attending to any kind Of business;
aud that the plaintiff was therefore compelled
to attend upon him, nurse him, and provide
for his support, and for the support Of herself
and family; and the same caused his estate to
be squandered and resulted in his death, and
therefore the plaintiff, the widow Of the de-
ceased, has been deprived of the means Of
support for herself and minor child, and that
she has been compelled to resort to daily labor
tor the same, aud claimed that she has been
damaged to the amount of SIS 1000, for which
she asked Judgment at the hands Of the jury.
After argument by able counsel on both
sides the case was given to the jury on the
charge of the Court. The jury, after an ab-
srnce of about thirty minutes, returned with
the following verdict: "We, the jury in this
case, find for the plaintiff. and assess her dam
ages mt $2,500." ea.'H H0sndol hea ii 8t@at

How THE TIMES WAS SENT INTO PANS.
The London Times Of January 31st makes the
declaration following: =" Attempts TO establish
ready communication between the beleagured
inhabitants in Paris and their relatives and
friends beyond the German lines, have given
rise to many cOntrivances which are not ln.
likely to make new era in the history both Of
arenautics and photography, Among them
may be mentioned the ingenious device by
which the matter Of two whole pages of the
Times has been transmitted from London to
Paris This has been accomplished by phOtog-
rapby. Those pages of the paper which con.
tanned communications to relatives in Paris
were photographed with great care by the
London Stereoscopic and Photographic Com.
pany on pieces of thin and almost transparent
paper about an inch and o, half in length By an
inch 10 width. On these Impressions there
could be seen by the naked eye, only two legi-
Bile words, The Tmes,' and six narrow brown
bands representing the six columns OF printed
matter forming page of the newspaper. Un-
der the microscope, however, the brown space
become legible, and every line Of the newspa-
per was found to have been distinctly copied,
and with the greatest clearness. The photo
graphs were sent to Bordeaux for transmission
thence by carrier-pigeon to Paris. When re-
ceived there they were magnifed, by the aid
of the magic lantern. to large size, aud
thrown upon a screen. A staff Of clerks i'm
mediately transcribed the messages and sent
them off to the places indicated by the adyer-
tisers. The success of this experiment gives
rise to the hope that the new art of compress
Ing printed matter into q small compass will
not stop here If page Of the Times can be
compressed into space little larger than that
occupied by apostage stamp, the matter of an
octave volume might be made to cover not
more than two of its own pages, and library
could be reduced to the dimensions of the
smallest prayer book. What relief it would
be to the learned persons who frequent the
Library of the British Museum, if, instead Of
having to make fatiguing Journeys from letterA
to letter B of the ponderous catalogue of books.
they had its many hundred volumes reduced to
space yard square. over which micro
scope could be hurriedly passed. Such sug-
gestions are now occupying the thoughts ot
photographers. ee se gas fils,.

Young man, in the flush Of early
strength, stop and think ere you take a
downward step Many precious life is
wrecked through carelessness alone, II
you End yourself in low company, do not
sit carelessly by till you are gradually but
surely drawn into the whirlpool of in
guilty and shame, but think of tho con-
sequences Of such course. Rational
thought will lead you to seek the society
of your superlors and you must i'm.
prove by the association. A benevolent
use Of your example and influence for the
elevation of your interiors, is noble
thing even the most depraved are not
beyond such help. But the young man
of impressIble character must, at least,
think, and beware lest he fall himself a
victim. Think before yeu touch the wine;
see its effect upon thousands. and that
you are no stronger than they were in
their youth. Think before you allow
augery passions to overcome your reason;
it is thus that murde:ers are made. Think
before, in dark hour of temptation, lest
you become thief. FhiHk we'll ere lie
or oath passes your lips for man Of

A CURE FOR THE BLUEs.--A paragra-
phist says in one of the medical papers
that Laughter and music will cure the
blues Now laughter is good. and
music is good. And we DO not doubt
that they have good effect on tho Sc
who are depressed in spirit, but how is a
man going to laugh when he don't feel
like it, and it is not always convenient to
get dose of inspiring music. Al still
better prescription is to seek the society
and moral support Of people who are not
blue. When clock has run down, it
