Postal telegraph.

The people demand cheap telegraphy
and there is no opposition to it in all
the land, except the few interested in
maintaining the present monopoly.
They have fought the great presses of
the seaboard and few inland. and re-
tanned some senators and me mbers Of
Congress as their attorneys. Against
them arc the wishes and interests of
forty millions Of people. We predict
that the people will win. What we
want is not to purchase the telegraphs,
but to contract with the owners of
lines for cheap transmission Of mes.

railroads and steamboats, to carry letters
and other ordinary mail matter.
This is possible, and responsible par

The I4eaAons Of Great Fires.

How can such ca'amities be avoided ?
The theories Of {: fate" and Of vista
ton Of Providence do not suffice
Providence will always visit those who
d'sobey its plain laws. IF VIC build
solid granite houses six stories high and
cover them virtually with wood, and
open sIulces for drauyIlts from the eel
Tar {" the roof, and provide tire~cnyincs
that cannot throw water above the third
or fourth stories, aad depend upon
horses to draw the engines, Providence
has provided that when careless boy
scrapes IL match in one Of the buildings,
or Il live Coal drops upon the floor, or
sparks thy from a cigar, or lighted to-
oacce falls from pipe-scventy acres
OF those buildings shall be destroyed.
aud the loss shall be rcckoncd to DO one
hundred millions Of dollars.
Hero is cruel calamity, 1t is aw-
iul to contemplate. There is not a
heart that does not thrill with sympa-
thy. But there is no mystery, no won
der. 1t WAS the harvest Of the whirl-
wind from the wind that We had sown.
And il New York is summoned to a
similar harvest, it will be vt her own
sowing. One of tic s.atcliest and
most costly buildings in the city, in the
very heart Of its chief traffic, apparent
~ cIaborately finished in every point,
and made to defy time, is covered with
. Mansard roof with wooden beams.
No lire engine can throw = stream of
water upon it, and should the building
be exposed to fire, it would shrivel like
pastcboard. When fire like that in
Chicago or in Boston is fully kindled,
nothing, Of course, can withstand it,
The only effort must he to deprive it Of
fresh material. Two suggestions are
therefore obvious. One is that, by
reasonable care in building, tho swift
end unmanageable spreading of tho fire
be made impossible; and the other is
that business streets be made wider,
and broken with frequent squares.
Beauty, health, and economy would be
the result Of reasonable care. 1t is not
only our heroism to which such calaul-
tiles appeal. We have borne them,
and shall bear again. But they appeal
also to our science, to our skill, and to
our common-scnse. Is it really impos-
siblc for us to make buildings practical.

tract to reduce the rates to onc-third

Tho Washington Chronicle recently
ably answered the criticisms OF
the Chicago Tribune upon Mr.. Cres-
wells recommendations, and sums up
the matter in few decisive words,
which We quote
The telegraph company guarantees II

bind themselves to help the company
to maintain its monopoly.
Our readers understand. VIC suppose,
that in common with the other
journals in this city, We enjoy what are
considered the benefit Of the Associa-
ted Press dispatches, for which, howcv-
or: We are paying double the sum paid
by Western Journals enjoying the same
privileges.
It is not probable, but certain, that
the Government can transmit the news
at third Of the cost imposed by the
present arrangement.
There will be no difficulty in arrang-
ing for the collection aud transmission
Of news in manner that will b. emf
nently satisfactory to the press and the
people, without imposing upon the
Department the duty OF editing call

There is public interest involved
in the cheapenins Of telesraphic labor
that is just as clear as that involved on
cheap postage Those who have con-
coded the advantage Of cheap postage,
cannot consistently oppose a system
that promises to relieve the country Of
the fearful burden imposed by the tele-
graphic monopoly.

The Christmas Gift.

Around tho Christmas tree We stood,
And watched the childrcn's faces,
As they their little gifts received
With childish airs and graces.
We grown folks bad our shares Of fun
II making wee ones merry,
And laughed to sec the juveniles
Kiss meath the "hol'y berry,"
Beside me vat sweet Bessie Moore,
A lovely dark eyed maiden,
While near her stosd orr little Eve,
Her arms with love gifts laden,
Until around the room she went,
The bluc-eyed baby, shyiy,
And, blushing red, into each lap
Der offerings dropped slyly.
But whom to NE tho darling came
All empty handed was she,
And when Ia.ked, " Why slight mo thus :"
She answered, ooh, bstause We
We dinna know you cumming hcrc!''
And then with blue eyes shining,
To Bcssie's side che went, her arms
Her sisters neck entwining.
But something must have" saidI,
"My Christmas night 70 gladden.
A shade Of thought the baby face
Seemed presently to sadden,
Till all at once, with gleeful laugh
ooh! know what do, Sir
Two only sister Bessie left,
But I'll div her to you, Sir!'
Amid the laugh that came from all
drew my new gift to me,
While with flushed cheeks her eyes met min,
And sent thrill all through me.
Oh blessed lit:le Evew cried L;
Your gift welcome gladly"
The little one looked up 1t me,
Half wonderingly, half sadly.
Then to her father straight turned,
And hunbly asked his blessing
Upon my Christmas gift, the while
Ny long STORED hopes confessing.
And rs his aged hands were raised
Above our heads, bowed lowly,
The blessed time Of Christmas ne'er
Had seemed to me so holy.

The Little Brown House.

Just over the brow of the hill.
Overlooking the valley below,
Where the fsathery pines are all tipp'd
With crystals Of beautiful snow
A little brown cottage doth stand,
And some Of the inmates I know.
There's Jenny. a red-headed lad;
Full Of business from morning till night
Nicely blending his work with his play,
And seeming in both to delight,
With motive that's higher than they
An earnest desire to do right.
There's Annie, gay little witch;
With round rosy cheeks and black eyes,
With q voice that is sweet as q birds,
With hands always ready to help
Is not little Annie prize?
The grey hcaded grandfather sits
In chair by tho warm glowing fire;
Half asleep in the soft light he sits,
And the childraa draw near to admire
The thin snowy locks and white beard
Which mark the long ycars Of the sire.
The dear mothers grave, pleasant face,
For moment q dull shadow wears;
But shadows are there out Of place,
And the wife has forgotten her cares:
For bark on the still evening air,
Her husbands quick footstep she hears,
There is poverty, so say tho world,
In the little brown house on the hill,
There arc riches of value untold,
That tho heart with contentment doth fI
The wealth that is better than gold,
That all men may have if they will.
