How the London Times Reached
Paris

The long columns of announcements
in the London Times, intended for
friends in Paris, have for sometime been
frequent subject for remark, and peo-
pie have wondered what chance there
was of their ever reaching the eyes for
which they were meant. The means
adopted for this purpose are explained
in the Times Of January 30:
" Those pages of the paper which con-
tanned communications to relatives in
Paris, were photographed with great care
by the London Stereoscopic and Photo
graphic Company, on pieces of thin and
almost transparent paper, about an inch
in width. On these impressions there
could be seen with the naked eye only
two legible words, The Times, and six
narrow brown bands representing the six
columns of printed matter forming a
page of the newspaper. Under the mi
croscope, however, the brown spaces be-
came legihle, and every line of the news
paper was found to have been distinctly
copied, and with the greatest clearness.
The photographs were sent to Bordeaux
for transmission, thence by carrier
pigeon to Paris. When received there
they were magnifed, by the aid of a
magic lantern, to a large size, and
thrown upon screen. The staff of
clerks Immediately transcribed the mes
sages and sent them off to the places in
dicated by the advertisers.

"s'OII Right, which It WASH {
at All

From the Worcester Spy
A man passing up Pleasant street late
Saturday evening saw some one leaning
against the door of the Baptist church,
and, on looking more closely, observed
that he was in the act of taking drink
from a bottle. On seeing the man ap-
proaoh, and probably thinking him to be
patrolman, the fellow reeled around.
and, taking hold of the door handle,
said:
"S'oll right, s'r, board here, s'r, and
allus tak'r drink fore / 90 to bed. }"
The man called his attention to the
fact that the building on which he leaned
for support was a Baptist church, and
suggested that he had best 20 home be-
fore the bottle had him in the gutter
whereupon tipsy corked his bottle and
said, discoHragipglY:
This ther third timef been mista-
ken, an eff ! find many more Baptis

COntentment.

True contentment is not the being sat.
isfed with things as they are, and wish
ing no change. This would prevent all
improvement and reform in individuals
and in society. Dissatisfaction is often
a forerunner and harbinger of better
things. Austin Phelps says, "The un-
aspiring soul is a mean one" Content
ment is rather calm acquiescence in
the present, while waiting for and watch
ing for opportunities to do better for
ourselves and Others 1t is opposed to
that restless, anxious, fretful irritable
state, which makes man chafe against
his circumstances as if held there by an
iron fate
Contentment may be cultivated. If
we have few wants well supplied, we are
richer and happier than with many wants
i'll supplied. Reduce your wants and
thus increase contentment. Look more
at those whose condition is below you
rather than at those above you, and your
requirements will seem to grow respect
able, your possession to increase, and
you will live contented with comforts
and even luxuries almost unknown be-
fore.
In Affections look to those who are
more afflicted than yourself If you are
sick, others are sicker If you have lost
finger somebody has lost hand. If
you have lost hand, Others have lost
an arm or leg. If you have lost part
of your property others have lost all. If
you have lost child, others have lost

The sense of Honor.
From Every Saturday.


We remember reading long ago an
essay on the Sixth Sense the sixth
sense being the sense of honor. We
suppose it must exist in some degree or
another in every human being, how
ever degraded he may be. A curious
instance Gpropos of this is afforded in
the case of Hanlon, who was lately
hanged in Philadelphia for the murder
of little girl named Mary Mohrmann.
His life has been one series of black
deeds, and his final crime was revolt
ing beyond expression; yet this fend
in his last days, with his hands still
red with the blood of helpless little
child, was solely troubled in his mind
because he owed fifty cents to a de-
tective named Smith, who had been
chiefly instrumental in securing his con-
viction. "Tll pay you the fifty cents l
borrowed from you as soon as anybody
comes and gives me some money" said
the conscientious wretch, g Meyer mind
that, John" replied the aiiiuent Smith,
" / don't want it. Let il GO" Hanlon
answered, "I must pay you, though.
My religion makes me do it. The
sense of honor in fact-the sixth sense
which made him uneasy because he
Dyed half a dollar, but gave him no
trouble shGteyer when it became a ques-
ton Of stranglihg a seEel year old child
in a dark alley. Who will talk of total

Mr. KNOTS SPEECH on ''DULUTH. We
very seldom now a-days, publish speeches de-
livered in Congress very obvious reasons
But we make an exception in the case of the
speech Of Mr. Knott, of Ky, both on account
of our own taste in the matter, and because we
have received many requests to furnish it to our
readers.
The speech hit the times exact y-and it is
said hit the temper Of the House to which it
was addressed exactly It was received with
great applause, and what cannot be often told of
Congress speeches, was listened to throughout,
without weariness and with great attention
In truth this speech is most admirably con-
ceived and well executed SATIRE, upon the tyJ-
lying far hnh grants and the schemes resorted
to in procuring appropriations of the public
lands for the benefit Of spectators. 1t is full
of genuine humor, has frequent flashes Of true
wit, and many eloquent passages. But the
chief merit is, strange as it may be sccn that
it is actually telling argttment i'll favor Of the
views ofthe speaker against Congressional action
as heretofore shown in behalf of enterprises y
designed only to put money in the pockets OF In
dividuals engaged in engineering land bills and
subsidies through Congress, without any refer
ence to right, or Justice, or economy. Truth
severe can be in fancy fiction dressed SO as
to be more effective than grave discussion, or
dry details 1t is emincntly so in this case.
While We laugh we think. How many ''Dul-
uths have, in the past few years, received the
consideration and the patronage of Congress-!
How many "Duluths' have been presented to
Committees How many 'Duiuths' have oc-
cupied time aud attention.! How many '.Dul-
uths' have had land grants and large sums of
money, but OF; which projectors have accuuulat-
ed fortunes! Aud, hereafter when money
making scheme is urged, designed not for the
public benefit, out for spectators, it will be
known and happily called a 'tDuluth"
Mr.: Knots speech is divided in our daily
paper but will be found entire in our edition
for the country. -.s.
