The advantages of newspapers are every day de-
veloped and new and before unsuspected uses Tor
them are discovered. Witness what befel gentle
man and his wife recently in Holy Land. While
they were travelling toward Jerusalem they were
beset by bandits and robbed not onlyoftheir money
aud baggage, but even of the clothes in which they
were standing, or rather kneeling, for mercy What
were they to do If they had been going to the
Garden of Eden it would have been all well enough
but how were they to enter the ancient City OF the
Lord in q state of primitive nudity' In this hor-
rible emergency they begged back from the plum
derers a copy of The London Tines Was there ever
such luck before2 For they received not only the
usual copy of the great journal but it so happened
that there was a supplement, which was just the
thing for the lady! Thus clothed with advertise
ments leading articles, foreign correspondence, the
money market and the parliamentary debates, they
entered Jerusalem panoped against all fierce Mus
sulmans-for these re gOnists, beromembered,
respect every square inch of paper since haply the
name of God may be written thereon. We trust
Americans going to the East will provide against
such emergencies, and we would proudly call atten-
ton to the size of THE TRIBUNE, which is large
enough to serve the biggest of sufferers.

Stokes, in his own defense, yesterday, re-
lated the circumstances of the shooting of
Fisk. and made the remarkable statement that
Fisk drew his weapon first, and was in the
act of cooking 1t when shot down. OF course,
this evidence cannot be supported by any
Trustworthy witness for the defense, and its
main force on the jury will be derived from the
manner of the witness in giving it. The rest
of the evidence was as to previous threats OF
Fisk to kill the prisoner on sight, and of the
formers habit of carrying arms.

cries of the theater. lad fell asleep during the
performance at the Adelphi, and was locked in when
the audience dispersed. On awaking he contrived
to make himself heard by the anitor and was ques-
toned about the play, which he had not seen. AS
he could not give an intelligent account of it, he
was thereupon arrested for being concealed with in
tent to commit felony. IL this case were to be
taken as precedent, how the attendance at certain
theaters we could mention would fall Off There are
performances that might put anybody to sleep, and
plots that not the most wakefu spectator could give
an Ineligible account of; and if, in addition to the
pain of attending such entertainments, we were to
run the risk of going to Jail in case we were not
pleased with them, common sense would advise us
TO stay at home.

much discussion, rather than merely indorse

One of the chief difficulties in the way of procuring
employment for women consists in the limited num-
Der of occupations that practically open to them
A comparatively new field seems now to offer admis-
sion. The number of employers in large mercantile,
insurance and banking firms as well as of persons
engaged in literary and newspaper callings, who
require the services of shorthand amanuenses, is
continually increasing. 1t is found that business
man, for instance who has been accustomed to
spend half the day in writing letters, can, by die
tating to an amanuensis capable of writing short
hand, finish this part of his business in an hour.
Women learn shorthand sufficiently for such pur-
poses in comparatively short time, and are thus
provided with light and fairly lucrative employ
ment. Recognizing these facts, Mr.. Peter Cooper
has decided to add photography to the list of studies
of the free academy for women at Cooper Institute ;
and free lecture on the subject is announced for
tomorrow evening to precede the opening of the
course of study.

We are informed by that accurate observer, The
Boston Transcript, that Mr. Greeley is himself in
clined to believe his nomination more than half
Joke" But suddenly solemn suspicion seizes The
Transcript, and it admits that candidates nomi-
mated by way of jest have been elected" We can
assure our cotemporary that the Republican Re
nominationsts Of Massachusetts, have all the fun of
the affair to themselves Here, at Washington, at
the West, in Pennsylvania and the South, and espe
cially in Baltimore, there is MT much laughing
When a New-York editor is nominated for the PreSi-
dency Boston respectablity is no doubt hit hard in
a very soft place. but as there will probably be
frequent repetition of similar knocks before the
election, the Massachusetts, men, who have fancied
that they held the whole Republican party OF then ma
ton in feesimple, might better prepare themselves
for serious cranal contusiOns, and lay in full sup
ply of vinegar and brown paper. Meanwhile. we
advise the Massachusetts, Okers to enjoy their Oty
while it is possible The gentleman who couldn't
get INTO the ark improved the opportunity to say
good thing before he lapsed into his ultimate CUR
gles and his ready remark has been celebrated ever
since. The Bay State Joe Millers may profit by his
example.

A Synod with Right, Left and Center could
scarcely be found anywhere outside of France.
But body so constituted does exist, and the
Paris correspondent of THE TRIBUNE gives a
lively account of the transactions of the Prot
estant Synod of France which has the sub
divisions for the sake of convenience. Aside,
however, from any such immaterial features,
this convocation has its special interest as 1t
is the first Of its kind in France. The vener-
able Guizot figures as one of the petitioners
for the abolition of the religious liberty from
which it has sprung; and the Paris Journals
consider its session worth daily record.
That South Carolina is able to pay all her
outstanding liabilities is admitted by all who
know anything of the resources of the State
A meeting of resident holders of South Caro-
lima bonds, held in this city yesterday, decided
that this was true. But the operations of car
pet-baggers, who have enriched themselves
and robbed the State, have injured the credit
of the old Commonwealth very much A South
Carolinian, who was present at the meeting OF
injured bondholders, said that if the revenues
of the State were ten times as great as they are
the bonds would not be paid, as the funds are
used for political purposes. South Carolina is
suffering from the effects of carDet-bag rule,
and some innocent citizens of New-York are
now feeling some of the unpleasant results of
that style of government.

Early in the morning
Up ~ soon as light,
Ovsrseeing breakfast 49,
Putting all things right;
Dressing little children,
Hearing lessons said,
washing baby faces,
roasting husbands bread.
After breakfast reading,
Holding one at prayers,
Putting up the dinners,
Mending little tears;
Goodbye kissing children,
sending off to school,
With PRAYER and blessing
Mothers heart is full.
Washing up the dishes,
sweeping carpets clean,
Doing up the chamber work
sewing on machine,
Baby lays crying
Rubbing little eyes,
Mother leaves her sewing
To sing the lullabies.
Cutting little garments,
Trimming children's hats,
Writing for the papers,
With callers having chats;
Hearing little footsteps
Running through the hall,
Telling school is over,
As mammals name they call.
Talking with the children
All about their schools,
Soothing little troubles,
Teaching grammar rules;
Seeing about supper,
Lighting up the rooms,
Making home look cheerful,
Expecting husband soon
Then with all her headaches.
Keeping to herself,
Always looking cheorfnl,
Other lives to bless.
Putti0g to bed children
Hearing say their prayers,
Giving all good nights kiss,
Before she goes down stairs.
Once more in the parlor,
Sitting down to rest,
Reading in the Bible
How his promises are blessed;
Taking all her sorrows
And every care to One,
With that trusting, hopeful head,
Which none but mothers own.

WHAT SHALL WE DO?


Mr.. EDITOR: 1t would be a matter of regret
to have the p. & o. r. R. go on to completion,
or fail to go on, without a candid and thorough
discussion before the citizens who are to be
called upon to decide its fate. By all interests
it is admitted to be THE great question-and
agitation is the word.
the road, moving in ways that are dark and
by ''tricks that are vain" l am rejoiced to
see the people, through the medium of the
DAILY Press .'rislng to explain" 1 think
that little hearing Oh this subject is sufficient
to show that the through western business rela-
lions of the road are likely to be undervalued.
But my own particular interest refers to an in
creased local business made available to the
city by the traffic on the line of the road
Portland is essentially a commercial city, and
whatever other hope may be entertained for
the future, in the past and at the present it is
more exclusively SO, than any other city of its
size in the Northern States And as many be-
lieve, with less lazy capital and fewer idle men.
And if in the interest of larger cities her ambi-
ton has sometimes been made the subject of
ridicule, the courage and activities of her
capitalists, mechanics and merchants have fore
ed fiattering commentator from the same
source AS commercial city Portland must
be limited to about its present Importance so
long as it is confined to the area of country
now accessible by existing facilities of commu-
nication.
This is especially true as it refers to import
ed goods of every description, and the past
must be accepted as a good lesson for the fu-
ture. In my own experience in common with
others, in crockery and other wares, the bust
ness has kept even pace with the opening ad-
vance of new avenues by railways and steam
boats, until now we command a respectable pro-
portion of the trade in all parts of our State.
And whenever within reasonable date, the 2.
& o. r. r. shall be opened through New
Hampshire and Vermont to Lake Champlain
Portland will find trade all ready waiting her
embrace, that must add in two years of time
fifty per cent. to the present volume of general
traffic, and in my own line of trade loo per
cent And which is of additional value from
the fact that it is belt of country which fur
nshes the most steady and reliable trade of q
class of Merchants whose names never ap-
near in the reports of commercial casualties
am also actively associated in the manu-
facture of glass ware, business, unhappily
for several years most wofully demoralized
and depressed throughout the country but.as is
hoped will, in the near future regain its former
Importance and value. The present local de-
mand is about one half the capacity of our
works. My belief is that our friendly neigh
bors over the mountains are prepared to take
the balance.
Now Mr.. Editor, as all this variety and
breadth of interest is so provokingly near, and
yet so far that it is onlp accessible by way of
Cape Cod on the South, and the polar ATTITUDES
on the North, what shall we do about it? l
say go for it straight through the Notch!
