The difference between the French
and English systems of dealing with
the great disasters is aptly illustrated in
the case of the Vile du Havre. About
the time that requiem mass was sung
in Havre with imposing ceremonies, the
Authorities ordered formal investiga-
ton into the responsibility for the dis
aster. The French started public
subscription for the benefit of the un-
diciplined crew, who might have saved
more passengers had it not been for
their decentralization. While this was
a very generous thing to do, it was not
so Just, nor SO much in the interest of
public safety, as an official inquiry in
to the cause of the disaster. The state
ment made by Captain Robertson, of
the Lock Earn, strengthens the impress
sion, already given by others, that the
disaster could have been averted if the
Vile du Havre had been managed with
ordinary prudence and skill; and that,
after it occurred, many more lives could
have been saved if the crew had been
under proper discipline. Public safety
demands the fullest investigation of this
matter from France, which exercises
jurisdiction over the Company, officers,
and crew of the Vile du Hayre.

A very determined feeling prevails in
Administration circles, says a Washing
ton correspondent of the Herald, that in
the future, the sailing of fillibursting ex-
peditions from our shores for Cuba must
be prevented, and, if statements of per-
sons high in authority can be relied on,
steps have already been taken which will
arrest any movements which Cubans re-
siding in the United States may have in
progress to extend to their friends in
Cuba.
The Administration is also determined
to extend all possible aid to Castelar's
Government, that the Republicans may
be firmly established in Spain, and will
act as an ally to that country in resist
ing attempts to overthrow the Republic.

To the many friends. readers and patrons of
the Telegraph, we heartily say--a Merry
Christmas to you AS shis popular annivers-
airy has again rolled round, it reminds us of
its peculiar benizon, which, while it brings
happiness to ourself, increases its sum by
making us feel that all the worlds akin. Let
us enjoy the occasion in its full significance and
scope, by forgetting the frailties of poor hu-
man nature-its attritons and perplexities--
and allow our hearts to fill with gratitude for
the goodness of the good Spirit, in the provis-
ion made this day for fallen world.

OURSELVES Well, reader, that new pres,
IL up, and the present number was worked up
on H. lis face shows change for the better
bat as Il had 10 be adjusted In lie various parti
during tho working. II does not present the
uniformity Of appearance that another week
win secure. In clearness and beauty OF i'm.
preesion, we expect 10 take the first rank.
The materials for changing the size Of the
Telegraph having been ordered, in due time
will no coubt reach US at sufficiently early
day for carrying cut our plans with the next
issue. We approach the New Year with q
more liberal support and more flattering pros.
poets than ever before enjoyed. The subscrip-
tlon list Is larger. and more rapidly increasing,
than at any previous time.
The advertising department is not, just now
very pressing, but the Telegraph, we believe, ID
getting its full share Of what is done. As the
business of the country improves, that class Of
advertising which comes from abroad, and
which GIBBS and flows with the business aotiv-
tiles of the country, will no doubt take its
wonted course, and we shall be better pre-
pared to take advantage Of 1t by greatly in.
creased space. SO that our readers will have nc
occasion to complain that their province ID
unduly invaded.
The jobbing department has grown to very
fair proportions The character of the work
especially in the finer and more tasteful clasi
of work, has been very much increased, ant
orders reach us from all parts OF the county
Wherever samples of Telegraph work have
gone, we have had favorable response in ad
ditional orders. Our facilities now are such
that where parties prefer to bring their worl
in person, their orders can usually be fillet
upon the spot-instanter. Where this is in
convenient, and orders are forwarded By mail
they will receive prompt attention and fidelity
as to rates.
We trust our friends will recognize our lib
eral outlay and the increased facilities fol
meeting their wants in either of the severa
departments of the establishment, by throw
ing in our way fair share Of patronage, and
word in season when it will do the mos
good.
The Press we have selected from the many
patents of the power presses extant, Is thu
Aeme, OF Boston, manufactured by g. q
CHILD, the inventor of which is Mr.. @. Mon
TAeUE. 1t is one of his latest make, having
been improved from time TO time since i'd
manufacture began, some twenty-five years
since, until MIR. Montague has brought out one
of the most perfect machines in use. 1t,
speed is 1000 an hour, and this is obtained
with less lal'or-when driven by hand-ant
less noise than any press within our knowl
edge. 1t can be run by the power of one man
and the beauty and compactness of its mode
occupying space of but five feet square
and its grace and beauty of motion, render it
perhaps, the best and cheapest printing press
yet introduced to the profession.

have been applied to by circular, to turn oyer

the same amount in the preferred stock of the

transfer, that no little inquiry is heard for in
formation to guide those interested, to an in

Profound excitement has been cause

Profound excitement has been caused
in Washington by the arrest and con-
viction of clerk in the Surgeon Gener-
ais Office for exhuming and selling csda-
vers. The details of his crime are too
shocking to publish in full detail. He
was sending out applications for orders
to all the medical institutions in the
country and must have disposed of hun
dreds of subjects. He belonged to the
Washington Young Mems Christian AS
sociation, and was prominent Mason.
At a recent funeral of deceased broth
er, was of those who attended and de-
posted his evergreen momento on the
coffin of his friend and the same night
disinterred him and carried his remains
away. He kept diary of all his disin-
termcnts and sales, with the coolest kind
of maginial readings and comments on
the same. He seems to have developed
special fondness for taking the remains
of deceased members of his own lodge
and church. He is sentenced to $1,000
fine and one years imprisonment for lar
ceay, there being no law here against the
crime of despoilmg graves.

CHRONOLOGICAL REMEDIES is in
timated by writer in one of the med
ical journals, that most probably, the in
sect remedies which bore so important a
part in the materia medica of former
times may again be resorted to-such
are the changes and mutations which
characterize medical practice. 1t is
well known that, in bygone days, they
were administered with as much conf
dence in their efficacy as is now given
to the medicinal plants of the garden
or the tinctures of the apothecary.-
They were generally given in the form
of pills. Five gnats were equal to three
grains of calomel; lady-bug was a SOW
ereign remedy for colo and plague;
ants were considered to be invaluable
against measles, and cockchafsr for hy-
drophobia or for the leoprasy; and 9th
er bugs were used, with similar assurance
for various disorders.

fTWashington dispatches intimate that our
controversy with Spain over the Virginius az
fair is not yet settled that the Government
will not be able to establish the fact that the
Virginius was entitled to the protection of the
flag that the Madrid Government will short
ly demand the Virginius back again, as well
as the passengers and crew and, lastly, that
the English authorities sustain the Spanish
authorities in their position. As all these
points, according to the terms of the precto-
col, are yet to be settled by Prize Court, it
begins to look as ii the end was not yet.
egMr. Douglass, Commissioner of Internal
Revenue, is represented as saying that the
Government receipts in his Department are
now as large as they we're before the panic,
and as believing that they will exceed the es-
innate by three million or four millions
by the end of the fiscal year. Secretary Rich
ardson has estimated the falling off of total
receipts at forty-two millions, but, if Mr.
Douglass is right, this estimate will be reduced
by internal revenue receipts some. twenty-five
million and the natural increase on customs
duties from now on will make the deficiency
still less.
