The average rate in all Europe is 40
cents.
Mr.. Hubbard maintains that the rates
can be still further greatly reduced, and
proposes the following rates $50 miles
or under, % cents between $50 and 800
miles, 80 cents between 500 and 1000
miles, rs cents. By night, 1000 miles
or under, % cents, with an average rate
of about As cents.
These rates Mr.. Orion substantially
admits in his report are possible, for he
says that with the duplex apparatus
which they are rapidly introducing up
on their lines they can perform double
the business on the same wires at q
small extra cost. If the postal system
is adopted the people will realize the
benefit from these great improvements
in reduced rates. If not, they will all
go into the pockets of the stockholders
of the telegraph company.
Two plans for uniting the-telegraph
with the postoffice were submitted to
the the last Congress. The postmaster
general desired authority to purchase
and operate all the lines of telegraph.
The other plan authorizes the postmas-
ter-general to contract with the postal
telegraph company to transmit tele-
grams between all Offices, to receive
them at all post and telegraph offices,
and deliver them as they are now de.
livered at the rates above named, five
cents of the rate to be paid to the de-
partment for the Office work performed
by it. This plan relieves the depart
ment from all expenses of purchasing
maintaining aud operating lines, fixe'
the rates at low and reasonable charges
prevents any Capitalization of power il

ont of the hands of private parties

pany. THIS plan was approved by tn
committees of the senate and house
and will be brought before congress
again this winter.
Mr.. Orion says the Western Unio
have checked all competition, bough
out all competing lines, with two o
three exceptions, which are doing los
ing business and are in process of bein
extinguisued that soon the Wester
Union telegraph company will be with

duct of business which is now in II
infancy, although transmitting over r.

The Postal Telegraph.
From the Boston Advertise

Four years ago, Mr.. Gardiner q.
Hubbard, of this city, IN an address TO
the Board of Trade, stated that the
tariffs of the Western Union telegraph
company were high, arbitrary and IT.
regular: that a large reduction i'll rates
could be made without dimiuution OF
the profits, which would increase the
business without corresponding IN
crease of expenses, and that still
further reduction of rates and OF tariff
could be effected by the adoption OF the
postal telegraph. He has advocated his
reform before congress, and obtained IA
yorable reports at the last congress from
committees both of the Senate anu
Housr. Mr.. Ortop, in his ANIMAL re-
port to the stockholders of the Western
Union telegraph company, says these
efforts have induced the company " to
proceed more rapidly with Increasing
the facilities and reducing the rates -
than they should otherwise have done
The average rates in 1859 were 81 ;
now, according to this report, they are
81 Offices then, 3, 469 F; now, D, 40, a
reduction of 80 per cent. in the rates,
and an increase OF 80 per cent. Ill the
offices.
Mr.. Hubbard said that large rnduc-
tions IN the rates could be made without
any d;minution of the net profits. Tins
NJ. Orion denied, alleging that the ex-
lenses increased in proportion to the
business, and that large reduction OF
rates was therefore impossible.
The net profits when the average rate
was 81 were 81, 534. 900; at 81 they are
S.. S57. 600, with an annual saving TO the
public of 81. 600, 900 in the reduced rates.
Then 6,5lS, 900 messages We're annually
transmitted now II, 100000.
Mr.. Orton saws no dividends have
been recently paid. This is true, but II
the meantime the company has doubled
it's business, added fifty per cent. to its
niles of wire and other properly. has
purchased and now hol nearly twenty
per cent. of it's DO DIS and 81 OOO,oO'
stock in other telegraph companies
amounting in all to Sl2,OOO,OOO. The
compan has thus proved t e truth o
tbe position assn ed by Mr.. Hubba q
that a large reduction of rates woult
be followed here, as it had been abroad
by an increase of business and net TO
fits. Mr.. Orion vere plain y intimate
that no further considerable reduction
in rates will be made. These rates ar
now higher than those of any othe
civilized country. The local rates are
For twenty-five miles or less, twenty
five cents; for over twenty-five IN lie
and under fifty, fifty cents; or owe
fifty ami under one hundred, evenly
five cents with an average rate, as MI
Orion says, of sixty-one.
The rates abroad are as follows:

Salt-Rising Bread.

A correspondent of the Household
gives the following receipt for making
salt-rising bread, which is superior to
common Yeast bread, and is considered
by some as more wholesome: Put
three teacups of water. az warm as Won
can bear your finger in. in a two-quart
cup or bowl. and three four'hs Of teal
spoonful of salt; stir in -four enough
TO make stiff batter: this is for the
rising, or emptyinSs as some call IT..
Set the bowl, closely covered, in ket-
tie, in warm water, as warm as you can
bear your finger in, and keep it as near
this temperature as possible. Notice
the time when Won "set" your rising ;
in three hours stir in two table spoonfuls
of flour. put it back and in five and one
half hours from the time of setting, it
will be within one inch of the top OF
YOUR bowl. 1t is then light enough,
and will make up eight quarts of flour
make a sponge in the centre OF your
-four with one quart of water OF the
same Temperature as rising, stir the ris-
ing into 1t, Cover over with little dry
flour, and put it where it will keep very
warm, but not scald; in three-fourths
| of an hour mix this into stiff dough il
water is used be sure it is very warm
and do not work as much as yeast bread
make the loaves little larger, and keel
it warm for another ree-quarters o.
an hour; it will then he ready to bake
While rising this last time have yonI
oven heating; it needs hotter ovel
than Yeast bread. Ii these rules are
followed you will have bread as white
as snow, with light brown crust, deli
cionsly tender. Country Gentleman.
The long-received opinion tina
guano is the deposits Of myriads of Sc
birds, accommodating through long ages
is rendered untenable by the recent in
vestigations of DIR. Habel. After treat
ing the guano with an acid, microscope
cal and chemical examination REVEALED
that the insoluble residue was compose
of fossil sponges and other marine AM
mails and plants precisely similar i
constitution to such as still exist i
those seas. The fact that the anchor
of ships in the neighborhood of tn
guano islands often bring up guam
from the bottom of the ocean, is quit
in opposition to the prevalent belief
DIR. Habel therefore considers that tn
deposits of guano must be the result G
the accumulation of fossil plants an
animals whose organic matter has bee
transformed into heterogeneous sui
stance, the mineral portion remainin
intact.

AFURTHER WORD ABOUT REPUBLICS

The Advertiser, this morning, returns to its
Spanish question, and among other expressions
of opinion bearing upon our Carlist difference
rsiterates its conviction that "a strong, stable
government, such as Spain had in the days OF
her prosperity, would be better than the mockery
Of Government such, presumably as Spain has
under its nominal Republic. Here is new evil
dence, to our eye, Of our neighbours little faith
in popular rule. The 'strong, stable govern
ments' were bad. They we're corrupt they
were oppressive they we're extravagant Can
any one look at SPANS mental, moral, and ma
terial degradation, and deny this She has never
had popular government; her people have not
made and administered their own laws, but have
been ruled by the audacious, insolent, aud un-
Christian tyrants, whose power was perpetuated
by crime. and maintained by outrage Spain
rolls in the gutter Who put her there Who

than the acts of Louis XIV, his fathers and his
descendants, and Of that nobility whose wicked =
ness brought down the shocking but natural ex
cesses Of the Revolution No real Republic

ment by "a free people-has ever done, or ever
