INrEMPERANCE OF LANGUAGE.

We observed in the Gdzette--of Saturday. 4-an
In,linatioha to consider the general principles
whis should govern newspaper discussion, and
which form the foundation Of what we call the
Freedom of the Press" We agree with its
eu sgestion, that often, 1t is better for news
pz5ertel plainly ana fully state the facts Of e
lse. leaving the public to form and express
Judgment upon them, than to try to put in
, to the mouths of people its own ready-made
conclusions, attempting to ram them down with
ssysre and intsmperately-ehosen words. II the
Tort Of all newspspers,in all cases was to tell
tbs unvarnshed truth, wherever it was proper
to relate the circumstances at all, the public
mind, relying upon this accuracy, would
generally move to just conclusions, without being
goaded and lashed along, by harsh language,
Unfortunately, however, newspapers are not
independent of their surroundings, and inaccu-
racy Of statement, and intemperance of Ian
guase are distinctive characteristics of too many
people. Men have their envies, antipathies
and contentious, which a newspaper, bound
from the necessities OF its situation, to reflect
and respond to, cannot present in moderate
terms or calm language. They are immoder-
ate and turbulent, themselves, and the journal
which pictures life cannot be calm, courteous
and discreet. tiff tl.H'z
Moreover, there are some offenders who are
capable OF Committing wrongs and outrages,
whose thick hides are penetrable only by the
sharp language Of denunciation and invectiye
The lawyers and advocates" have long acted
on this theory privileged, under the usual
rulings of Courts, to go to great lengths, they
have applied the method of personal attack,
not only to offenders who deserved to be dashed
naked through the land" but to cases in which
it was grossly Inappropriate, and scandalously
discourteous The course of trials in Court too
often includes the badgering and brow-beating
Of witnesses, abuse of the opposing parties in
interest, andimpeachment of the motives and
and character Of all who differ.
These are some of the influences tending to
intemperanee of newspaper writing. They do
not excuse IL, perhaps, but they go some dis
tance toward explaining it. The swift writer
who ''slings ink as the bar-room disputant
hurls words or the lawyer lashes his case, meets
public demand, and is more frequently ad-
mired than reproyed.

The bankrupt law will be an import
ant subject of consideration at the APP
preaching session of Congress. Shall it
be repealed? On the one hand it is an
swered that the law destroys credit and
limits responsibility by offering to the
debtor a constant escape from calamities
brought about by extravaganza and spe-
culation. Were there no such escape,
is argued, men would be more watchful
of the future and more guarded in their
business dealings. On the other hand it
is replied that general bankrupt law
has been recognized by all commercial
countries as the most satisfactory method
of restoring to the commercial commu-
nifty the labor of men who otherwise
would become drones to society. On all
sides, however, it seems 10 be demanded
that the law should be relieved Of that
provision under which the strongest house
may be thrown into bankruptcy by fail
ure to meet its commercial paper within
a certain period. In these periods Of
suspension the hardship of such a rule
must be apparent. IN. o. Picayune.

A Hearth and Home correspondent
says linen that is placed Immediately
after being ironed near the stove or in
the hot sun, is sitter when dry than if it
is permitted to dry slowly It is a good
plan to lay collars and small articles on a
waiter, and set them on a kettle or other
support on the stove, till they are quite
dry. Sometimes the iron will stick in a
manner perfectly unaccountable; if it is
rubbed on board on which fine salt has
been sprinkled, and then passed over a
brown paper with wax in its folds, the
sticking propensities will be checked. A
bowl of clear water and clean old linen,
is useful to remove any specks the linen
may acquire before or while being ironed.

MARRIAGES sET-TLESGENrs.


H From the n. Y. World.
There are in this country hundreds OF
thousands Of persons who five from hand
to mouth; married men, too, with fam
lies liable to be reduced not merely 10
discomfort but to deep distress were
they to be thrown out of their avoca-
tons for even a month. Yet SO reckless
are these men as to their future, 80 sell
fish, so careless of their responsibilities
as fathers and husbands, that one may
see them every day putting into tobacco
smoke or putting down their throats
what ought TO be a deposit in a savings
bank. When these men die their wives
and children become in many cases, de-
pendent upon their relations, who have
the burden of their support until such
times as the sons, after the merest smat-
tering of education, can earn enough to
keep themselves. There ARE tens Of
thousands of people in this country to-
day who are thus dragging out existence
on a pittance from friends, aud it is
probable that the panic has greatly in
creased their number and placed many
of them in worse position than ever,
inasmueh as many of those who have
had such pensioners will no longer be
able to aid them.
1t would serve considerably to mitigate
the trouble arising from this state of
things were the system of marriage set
Element more generally to prevail
amongst us. As matters stand now, il
too frequently happens that young peo-
pie marry who must inevitably, in the
event of failure of heath or employ
ment, depend entirely upon their friends.
This is quite wrong as regards all par
ties. To defer matrimony 10 late pc
riod of life is apt to be eminently condu-
Give to immortality; but en- the other
hand, there is argument to show that any
man above the laboring class ought only
to marry when such sum is settled on
his wife as will keep her and their child
rem from actual want. In older couil-
tries this is generally rigidly insisted on,
not only for the young couple themselves,
but quite as much as a measure of pre-
caution on the part Of their relations,
who of course clearly foresee that in the
event of anything going wrong their des-
titute kindred will otherwise fall upon
them for support. gu1

CaPt. Fry, OF Ihe HII.Fnted Wiz.
gfmiun.

From the Wilmington On. c. Journal.
The commander of the Virginius who.
with thirty-six of his crew was sbot on
Friday, Was Captain Joseph Fry, form
erly of the Confederate Navy.
Many of our citizens win remember
him as . successful blockade runner 10
the port Of Wilmington during the war.
His vessel, the Agnes +. Fry, named for
his wife, was beached near Fort Fisher
in 1865.
Captain Fry was, we believe, native
of New Orleans, and after graduating AT
the Naval School at Annapolis was an
officer of the Federal Navy. Upon the
breaking out of the war he rendered his
services to the Confederacy, and was COM
missioned as Lieutenant. During
part Of the time he was attached 10 the
squadron Of Admiral Buchanan.
