An Earthquake.

COLUMBUS, o., Jan. 5.--At TWEEN
ty minutes of II o'clock last night
citizens in all parts Of this city
were disturbed by low rumbling
noise as of distant thunder, ac-
companied by thrco dotonations
that shook houses, ratified furniture,
and caused general alarm. Many
persons left their beds in search of
supposed burglars and others came
up street to learn the particulars
of what they supposed was some
boiler explosion. Up to this hour
a diligent canvass of the city fails
to give any reason for the shock,
and many here believe the noise
and vibration was caused by an
earthquake.
A Dayton dispatch says an earth
quake shock was felt in that city
last night.

we now chronicle. This lady had
a very winning way aud showing

1t has now been two years since l WIS.,
tied Monticello. and, having some ac-
quanlntaces who wore anxious to make
an excursion, VIC were driven to the top
Of the mountain, over roads which in
any other state Of the union would be
deemed impossible. Part of the way
was actually tcrraccd over rocks, which
the wheels assembled sometimes foot
high vertically. Among the plesantries
of the trip were plunging IntO creek
almost deep enough TO lift the carriage
up and float it. JeffcrsOn's tomb was in
the Same disfgurcd condition which !
have fully described in previous letters,
and the old mansion ut tho top Of the
hill was even in worse repair, the roof
rotten and falling of, old hats stuck in
the windows, farm gear over the floor,
and the smell of must and mold, and
rain, ard dcsertiOn over all that great
abode, where once busts, siatucttes, paint
ings, vases, urns, books, visitors, and
household animals made hospitality ba-
rOnial, and cminence in retirement stl!l
splendid. The little stairways set in the
walls, and hardly bigger than chimney;
the great old clock stopped, over tho
portal, with its wei lights OF cannon balls
covered with rust; the secret passage
way, filled up with earth and the stable
dropping to pieces; the empty brackets
around the rooms, limiting of former oc-
cupants; the bust Of Jefferson himself,

xHwSPAPORIAL fnEoRIlIyG.

The papers nowadays are much CIV
en- to spcculations on the mound-build-
crs, what kind Of a race they were,
what causes operated to produce their
utter extinction from the f;sco of this
Green Earth, and to descriptions Of the
few rude works which survive them.
While surmiscs and theories of what
took place in the dim vistas of the past
arc cmincntly proper for acknowledged
scientists and may be said to belong to
their peculiar province, it seems that
the live newspaper has, or ought TO have,
to do with the living, thrilling present
and devote all its energies to securing
the present or future benefit and advan-
tase of mankind. There are no lessons
of politics or economy or morality de-
duc;ble from the few faint traces Of the
mound-builders left for our inspection
by time in his ravagcs. From u scientific
standpoint the ACREAGE American news
paper is utterly incapable of treating the
subject in an instructive manner. II
some powerful journal were to detail a
member of its staff to study upon the
ruins in Central. America, Mexico and
Spanish United States, remains Of race
as much superior to tho mound-builders
as we are to tho Fcjcc Islanders, some
lessons in mechanics might be learned
that would be Of exceeding great value
to the present generation. These peo.
pie who wcrc extinct twenty centuries
before the settlement of America, were
as much our supcriors in somo principles
of mechanics, and in grandeur Of archi.
tcctural designs, rs can be imagined.
Even the dcspiscd Aztecs possessed q
civilization tina: would bear favorable
comparison with that Of their cruel and
relentless conqucrors. While it is undc-
niabIy the duty of the newspaper to dc.
tail facts of all kinds that come under
its observation, it is jus, as nndcniably
without its province to indulge in vain
and idle theories regarding things that
that arc of no earthly consequence or in.
tcrcst to its readers.

ABOLITION OF Tue PASS SYSTEM.

The railroad pass system seems on its
last legs. There is y general inclination
among nearly all the railroads 20 strike
at til" root Of this pcrnic;ous sy>t.m. 1t
will be best for the public and will bcne-
fit the roads. The death Of the "dcaa-
hea |" busincss:will,in our opinion, contri-
butte arscly t. check the growing power
Of the corporations in government
til matters and bring them moro under
the control of the people. Small rs the
consideration may seem, VIC have but
but little doubt but that the press has
been subsidized, legislatures and high
officials influenced, inst by the simple
+" dead head" pass. This is not giving
much credit TO average honesty, but it is
not far from the truth. II these rail-
roads will adhere strictly 10 the rule
they desire to lay down with regard Ia
the abolition Of the pass system, twill
be Of great benefit in moro ways than
one. by 50 doing they can better afford
to do away with cxorbitant frcights and
passenger rates, and furnish steel rails,
good bridges, speed, certainty, safety
and comfort, charging actual cost with
fair interest ON the money expended.
As editors and PrOprictors Of ncwspa-
pers arc often considered IA being great
ly benefited by the " dead head" system
il is we'll enough to make an cxplana-
ton. They advertise for these railroad
companies and the consideration they
have received has been free passes. re-
lucian,'y given when demanded. There
fore, practically, they work tor what
they get and cannot be included in the
" dead head" list. BY the abolition Of
tho pass system, every ROWS PAPER in
he country will be benefited, for il
the railway companies wcrc obliged to
pay legal rates tor the advertising mat
ter now inserted in consideration Of free
passage, il would amount to much more
than the fare saved to editors by free
passes, unless they were constantly on
the wing. Tho reform intended is all
right, and VIC hope to see it carried into
effect.
