meeting OF the Board OF Health OF Trenton was
held on Monday evening, when the following report
was submitted to SIN allpox:--Flrst ward, case
Of either varolold or smallpox; second ward, none;
Third ward, two very slight cases, nearly well;
Fourth ward no cases; Filth ward, no new cases
and all the old ones nearly WELL Sixth and Seventh,
no new cases.
The Board reported that the excitement as to
smallpox In the city has died away and that there
had been no spread OF the disease worth mention.
After the Board of Health and Common Council had
conjured up the hobg0Dlin OF alarm they appeared
ashamed OF what they had done. IL was sought TO

quietly snubbcd by the President and other mem
bers Of the Board, who admitted the truth Of the

was learned from her friends that she had
been married TO man named Greenin, in
Cortland county, and that a month before she
had obtained decree OF divorce. Through
the perseverance OF Horton she was engaged as
principal of the school, he agreeing to pay 500 per

A NEEDED IMPROVEMENT.
Substitute for the Unsishtiy Telegraph

At last there is prospect of the streets of the city
being relieved OF those unganly, unsghtly and dam
gerous masts which do duty as telegraph poles.
While almost every other part OF the paraphernala
connected with biography has been improved upon,
the poles alone remain they were at the tune OF
Professor Morses first experiments. The Swedes
and Prusslans are ahead or the Americans IN this
regard, and have Tor some time past been using
posts Of galvanized iron. Following their example,
Professor Prentiss has Invented what might be called
O teesc0pc telegraph pole OF galvanized iron. IL is
made IN sections, which, for the purpose OF ready
transportation, M one into the other like telescope

and half 10 three and half inches In diameter from

and graceful, instead OF being an eyesore II Is

GOVERNMENTS STRONG


The government list opened with some heslta-
ton, partl culary the cable late In bringing
the London quotations, but after slight irregu-
larity thus arising became strong rejected the
influence OF Mr.. BOutwe's Intentions In the matter
OF redemption. The decline in gold checked the
rise after 1t had progressed 4 q 4 per cent, the
market leaving OF firm at the prices given below.
In fact, the old question of restoration Of equilib-
rum between currency and gold values Is
likely to be revived by the CONTEMPLATED
action Of the Treasury Department, ana the dealers
in government bonds Will have TO do intricate
cphering In order TO keep prices constantly ad-
lusted. The final street quotations were as fol-

nessee, and though there is every sign that
it will make way enough with the Democracy
at large to have fair chance of adoption at
the Presidential Convention next year, il
will need an uncommonly strong candidate,
stronger than the Democracy is likely to
adopt, to give it any great weight with the
country, owing in the main to the general
want of faith in the honesty and good sense
of the men who, in case of Democratic VIC
tory, would be sure to manage the administra-
ton at Washington.
But however little value it may have as
platform, it has a great deal OF value as
sign of the times. Whatever else it may be
or may not be, this it is: bid for the sup
port Of that large body of Republicans who
are very sick of Republican doings, and who
long for a decent excuse for trying both new
measures and new men. 1t is impossible to
overlook certain facts:-1. That during the
present Administration nothing whatever has
been done until now to reform the civil
service, in spite of the loud and Oft
repeated promises on the subject.
g That a great blow has been struck
at the purity, independence, and usefulness
of the Supreme Conrt and of all courts, by
packing the court to procure sudden rever-
sal of a carefully considered decision. 3.
That SO far from any steps having been taken
towards return to specie payments, this
packing of the court was resorted to with the
direct purpose of getting Judgment which
made return to specie payments more diff
cult and uncertain than ever, and this pack
ing has been formally and publicly justified
by the Secretary of the Treasury. 4. That
no serious attempt has been made to re-
form the revenue, or infuse order or method
into the tariff, which is now in state of as
great confusion as it was four years ago; and
that, SO far as we know anything of the mind
of the party, it is occupied rather with the
discovery of the means of avoiding the ques-
ton altogether than of dealing with it
honestly and fairly. 5. That the time and
attention of the administration during four
years have been mainly occupied with the
project of annexing semi-barbarous island
occupied by turbulent population unused
to civil government, and that it was
never so intent on this scheme as at the
moment when Congress was appointing
the President dictator as possible substitute
for regular civil government in half the
Union. The one positive step in the history
of the Republican party that can be urged as
q set-off to all this is the conclusion of the
treaty with England, the value and impor-
tance of which we have no wish to underrate;
but it is we'll to consider whether year
hence people will be disposed to regard this
one piece of foreign policy compensation
for the almost total neglect of internal re-
forms.

is complaint of hard times. But surely the
protected industries have never been pro-
missed that they should be guaranteed against
loss. They certainly are least entitled to it,
because they have wilfully shut themselves
out from the only influence which could make
them permanently prosperous-free eompeti-
ton. When the iron manufacturers find it
impossible TO keep the members of their as
sociation to the pledges they have signed, let
them join hands with the free-traders and
abolish protection, and they will find their
industries revive as if by magic. They will
find that instead of running away from the
policeman of foreign competition, and hid
ing their iniquitous schemes behind the
tariff, they will be glad to welcome him as
friend and adviser they will be able to look
honest men squarely in the face, and will
have no need to meet in secret conclave and
hold mysterious conventions like censpira-
tors plotting against the public welfare.

looseness in the marriage relation, synony-
nous with atheism. Abolitionists, by strictly
attending to their own business, have at last
cleared their reputation of all taint of free
love, irreligion, or uncombed locks. Our
homeopathic friends would do we'll to imi-
tate SO prudent an example.

We rely meet with more beautiful wait
than this:
1t is sweet, sweet song. flowing to and fro
among the topmost boughs of the heart, and
fills the air with such joy ana gladness as the
songs of BIRDS do when. the summer comes out

We all have our possessions in the future,

Beautiful flowers and sweet singing birds
are there only our hands seldom grasp the one.
or our ears hear, except the faint farot strains,
the other.
But o. reader, be of good cheer, for to all the
geo there Is II golden 'sometime."
When the hills and valleys of time are all
passed, the wear and the fever, the disappoint-

is the peace and the rest appointed of God.

sorrow, even of clouds, ever comes; across
whose threshold the voice of lamentaton is
never heard; built upon eternal hills, and
