no adequate conception Of its vast

MARINE DISASTERS.

From Liverpool comes the intelli-
gence that four hundred and fifty
persons have perished by marine
disasters within the past ten days.
This is fearful loss of life, not
confined to one ship, but to many
vessels wrecked or foundered off the
cost of England. The storms on
the other side of the Atlantic have
been more severe than usual this
winter, r,anddispatches tell us of inun-
dations caused by the high winds,
which have done much damage.
nottingham, Leicestershire, and Der
by have all suffered by the "rising
of the waters" Landslldes have in
terfered with communication with
Dover, and Peterborough, in Not
tingham county, is overfowed
many of the inhabitants having
to fly to the upper stories of their
dwellings to escape drowning
While we have had fire to plague
with a scarcity of water. water
seems to be the especial evil with
our cousins across the Atlantic.

IWEED'S TRIAL.

The Tweed trial drags its slow,
tortuous, disgraceful length along.
The counsel for the defense, know
ing the direct and positive case
against the prisoner, have deliber-
ately settled down to the work of
firing out the patience of the court
witnesses and all parties concerned.
Having failed in their motion to
quash the indictment, and being
promptly met in the subsequent dill
atory motions which they made,
they waited until the great chief was
called upon to plead, and then sol
emnly demanded that the indict-
ment be read. This is a document
Of 1,050 legal cap pages, but the
court, under the circumstances, had
no right to refuse SO the reading be-
gan and will, of course, last several
days. By the time that is finished
the Boss and his lawyers will un-
doubtedly have some other legal
crotchet ready upon which another
delay can be improvised. All things
must end, however, and it is conf
IDENTIFY hoped that by the first of
February, Tweed will know wheth-
er he is a thief or not. In carrying
the license of pettifoggery so far,
Tweed's lawyers are showing how
far the powers of law may be made
to shield a criminal, and are Civ,
ing various valuable hints as to how
those forms of law ought to be re-
formed. -ta4-.a f-".

GRANTING OF LANDS.

The platforms of the National
and State Convention of Republi,
cans both take strong ground
against any further grant of public
lands for railroad or other internal
Improvements, affirming, and right
ly too, that the farms of Uucle Sam
belonging, not to monopolies, but
to the brave pioneers who go in ad-
vance of civilization, and prepare
the way. Notwithstanding this en-

we learn that the lobby at Wash
ington literally swarms with excit-
ed individuals clamoring for gov
ernment aid in lands in support of a
hundred odd railroads scattered
over the plains and through the
mountains of the west. We hope
Congress will be simply just, and
dismiss every enterprise Of this
character, and thereby sustain the
promises ofthe party not only, but
adhere to the wise policy which
holds the public lands open for ac-
tual settlement. Hands off, gentle

IMPROVED POSTAL CARD.

1t is said that the Berlin postoffice
is about to introduce an improve
ment upon the original postal card
system. A1card is to be provided,
on which message may be sent and
a reply returned at once. The orig
inal sender, by paying the trifing
postage both ways, may thus secure
an answer at once. the person ad
dressed only having to write a line
or 80 on the card when he receives
it, and return it to tie postman.
This is great convenience worth
considering in the issue of postal
cards in this country. By the way,
now that congress is in session, We
ought to have the cards very soon.
Last session that learned body was
guilty of the stupidity Of author
izing' their issue without providing
for the expense. u.

THE POLICY IN APPOINTING POST.
MASTERS.

The Postmaster General has made
known to Representative Hear the
policy the administration had con-
cluded to adopt in regard to those
postmasters who are not appointed
by the President. Rules, framed
under the Civil Service, are in course
of preparation. to cover this class OF
officers, but as yet are not complete
as regards detail. Meanwhile their
general spirit will be observed. as
far as possible, and appointments
and removals, will not hereafter be
made in these cases merely upon
recommendations of members OF
Congress. There will be no remov.
ais solely for opposition to General
Grant during the last campaign,
unless accompanied with special
bitterness. Where charges are de-
manded on account of local reasons,
or apparent incapacity of occupants.
the facts in each case will be inves.
tigated by an officer of the Depart
ment before any action is taken.

Baltimore has initiated causade

ed glasses of ruby wine. The
movement is a good one. Undoubt-
edly there is cause for this direct
attack upon the enemy which steals
away the brains of men, and during
the holidays appears mostly to hold
supreme revel. The old-time prac.
tice of serving callers on ladies
with wine and brandy, is rapidly
passing out of, favor, with good eff
feet. Many young man has beer
ruined by it, and the matrons and
daughters of our day begin to real

RIGHTS OF POSTMASTERS.

Letters sent through the postoffice
are not to be opened by postmasters
or their employees on any account
even although the communications
sent are in violation of law. This
is the opinion of the Attorney Gen.
eral of the United States and until
reversed by competent court is
law to the department. Although
it may give some facilities to swind-
lers, venders of obscene literature,
the decision is a proper one. Any
other would leave the door open to
abuses of what should be regarded
as a sacred trust-the sanctity OF
private correspondence whilepassing
through the mails. Once give an
evil-inclined or prying officer dis
cretion as to open letters believed
to be unlawful communications, and
he soon lapse into the habit of sus.
pecting letters he may have some
other motive 9er looking into. Alb
solute sanctity for all letters is the
only safeguard. AS to the swind-
lers and venders of obscene litera-
ture who sometimes take advantage
of post office facilities to aid them
in their nefarious work, there are
other methods of dealing with them,
in the regular course of postal pro-
ceedings and by due course of law.
All good postmasters and postal
employees will be glad to hear of
this decision, and on all others
the restraint will be salutary.

From the Saginaw Courier.l
A BEAR STORY.

A good story reaches us now OF
an adventure up in Roscommon
county, a few days ago, wherein a
celebrated Saginaw land locker cuts
prominent figure. 1t seems that
the hunter of lands was out alone
in that region, viewing the lay of
the land and the heighth of the
timber, and while plodding along he
was attracted by small mass of
something black Immediately in
front of him, which appeared to be
alive. The black mass turned out
to be young cub. Land locker
thought he would take him into
camp, and having with him a water
proof overcoat, he at once unrolled
it and IN short time had overhaul
ed the cub and thrown the coat over
it. Next, to secure the little fellow,
the woodsman united the straps
around his boots, and proceeded to
strap up the infant bear. While
engaged in this process, the cub,not
used to the confinement of the era
die, or stays, of such nonsense,
squealed, and out Of a patch of
chapparel a few feet. to the rear of
our hero, came corresponding
squeal, only much lower, and. more
motherly like. Our land-looker
took in the situation at a glance,
and in another glance he was in the
top of a six inch Eastwood, which
mustshaye grown..there for.his. spe-
cial benefit. From his "eyrIe' OF
lofty resting place in the top Of the
friendly Eastwood; the land-looker
took last fond look at his water
proof, as it was converted into strips
about an inch wide, by the gentle
mother of the untambed cub. Nol
funtil she had released her offspring
and made complete wreck of the
coat, and gone her way, did the
gentleman ':up a tree" give vent to
anything louder than suppressed
breathing, and he didn't stop te
pick up his coat, either, after his
descent from the tree. 1t is SAID
THAT good time was made by hin
from the foot of. that Eastwood to
camp. The land-looker says thai
when he fifstsaw that cub he though
it was his. Now he thinks he mus
have been mistaken. He says ht
never had much of passion fol
cubs no way.

THE LATE EDWIN FORREST AND
HERR DRIESBACH. ........

"How was he in relation with 9TH
er actors"
"Just as he was with everybody
whom he met. If they happened to
please him, well and good; if not,
it was uncomfortable for them if
they came in contact with him. To
use a slang word, he was extremely
apt to bully all in the theater, from
the manager down. But he once
met his match. 1t was when he
was playing at the old Broadway
Theater, near Pearl Street. His
pieces were followed by an exhibit
tion of lions by their tanner, a GER
tain Herr Driesbach-the celebrated
lion tanner now living near Wooster,
o. Forrest was one day saying that
he had never been afraid in all his
life-could not imagine the emotion.
Driesbach made no remarks at the
time, but in the evening when the
curtain had fallen, invited Forrest
home with him. Forrest assented
and the two, entering a house, walk
ed long distance through many
devious passages-all dark-until
finally Driesbach opening a door,
said, This way Mr.. Forrest en-
tered, and Immediately heard the
door slammed and locked behind
him. He had not time to express
any surprise at this, for at the same
moment he felt something soft rub,
bing against his leg, and putting
out his hand touched what felt like
a cats back. A rasping growl sa-
luted the motion, and he saw two
fiery, glaring eyeballs looking up
at him. Are you afraid, Mr.. For
restT asked Driesbach, invisible in
the darkness. Not Bit Dries
bach said something; the growl
deepened and became hoarser, the
back began to arch and the eyes to
shine more fiercely. Forrest held
out two or three minutes, but the
symptoms became so terrifying that
he owned up in so many words that
he was afraid. Now let me out. you
internal scoundrel,' he said to the
lion tanner, 'and I'll break every
bone in your BODY He was i'm
prudent there, for Driesbach kept
him, not daring to move a finger,
with the lion rubbing against his leg
all the time, until Forrest promised
not only immunity but champagne
supper into the bargain. t.

LITTLE SAMMY cox,

The attempts of little Sammy
Cox to manufacture public opinion
against the President in regard to
the Louisiana trouble, are charac-
teristic of that pin-feathered state
man. He brought forward in the
House pompous preamble and res
olution setting forth "That where
as the State government of Louis
lana was conducted under orders is
sued from the Federal courts, sup
ported by Federal bayonets," the
President be requested to commu-
nicate why he had interfered.
1t need hardly be explained that
the "orders'' of the United State
Court were simply its deliberate
judgment in formal suit, regularly
brought before it, and against which
appeal may be legally taken, and
that the Presidents interference
consisted in his simply directing the
United States troops to aid the Uni
ted States Court if called upon, in
executing its Judgment. 1t is diff
cult for any one except microscop-
ic Democrat, like Sunset, to see how
the President could have well done
more or less than he did in the mat
ter. Sammy had adroitly calcula-
ted that his resolution would be so
mean and offensive that it would be
defeated at sight, where there would
be a. chance to raise the old war
cries of the Democracy, about EBAY
p onet rule;" Investigation smother
ed" "Caesarism rampant" etc. etc.
The action of the House was sensi-
BILE and manly. 1t brushed away
Sammys little resolution, and then
passed another calling for informa-
ton in regard to the state of affairs
in Louisiana and the part taken by
the President. Sammy blushed and
subsided, as usual, ..,.

FOR INTERNAL IMPROVEMENTS.

The bill to pay Ohio, Indiana
and Illinois two per cent of the re-
ceipts of all public lands sold with
in their borders has passed the
House. The explanation of the
bill is that Congress failed to ex-
pend the amount for internal i'm
provements within those States
agreed upon in their Enabling acts.
In the case of Ohio, Congress
provided that five per cent. of the
proceeds of all public land sold
should be devoted to internal i'm
provemedts, three per cent. to be
expended by the States, and two
per cent. by the general government
to complete the national road
through the State. The road never
was completed, and most of the
money derived from land sales was
spent upon the portion of it lying
in Maryland, Virginia and Penn
sylvania. The Indiana Enabling
act provided that two per cent. of
the land sales should be expended
by the general government for the
construction of roads leading to the
State. and that three per cent. be
paid to the State. Illinois was
given three per cent. for the educa-
tional purposes, and Congress
agreed to spend two per cent. for
roads in the State. In neither
case was the obligation of the
government fulfilled. In 1886 the
policy was changed, and States sub
scquently admitted were guaranteed
the whole five per cent. to ex-
pend as they chose. 1t is charged
that under an act passed in 1859,
making good TO Mississippi the
value of two per cent. of her public
lands. Ohio, Indiana and Illinois
are entitled to recover;but the law
has never been carried out. The
claim of the three States amount to
a little over$1, 100000 divided near
ly equally between them.
