Our Newspapers.

From j. G.. Holland, in Scribner for April
AS newspapers, simply, those
of America are the best in the
world. The entire globe is
raked. and raked clean, every
day, of incident, movement,
and event, to be blazoned upon
their teeming pages. Science,
religion, politics, society, COM
merce, agriculture, mechanics,
all things of human concern
find place for every fact and
phase in their columns. The
lightnings are their messen>
gers, winnowing the midnight
world with their wings, and
bearing in their beaks from the
harvest-felds of thought and
action every precious seed that
has ripened and dropped during
the day. No cost OF toll or gold
dismays them. Their servants
are on every battle field, in the
thick Of every mob, in the for
ests and the deserts, on the
mountains and on the seas,
watching kings, watching par
liaments, sitting by the side OF
the astronomer in his vigils.
recording the message of the
preacher, counting the steps Of
scientific progress, and bearing
the product of all this enormous
enterprise and industry, morn.

English Taughtin one Lesson.

Boston Bulletin.
At many of the New York
restaurants a very heavy
"French style' is put on; the
walters are mostly Frenchmen,
and the bill IF fare is often
printed in French. A CORES
pondent writes that, venturing
out early one morning in New
York, which happened to be
one of the kind spoken of
above.
Carelessly giving an order,
the waiter, bringing his shoul-
ders up under his ears, re-
sponded.'
'Je n parle pas anglais,
M'sieur," and the hungry man
had to point out his wants on
the bill Of fare, with which, af-
ter considerable delay, he was
served.
Just here entered another
customer, a tall powerful fel.
low, evidently fresh from the
western praries, who settling
| himself into a chair, ordered
''beefsteak, fried potatoes, hol
bread, N cup O Coffee
| To him the grinning French
man repeated the same formu
la.
"Je n parle pas ahglais
M'sieur."
The Western man looked a
him for a moment, and the1
rising from his seat like tn.
spening of a big jack-knife
with a stiff spring, he slowly
calculated, as he clenched ;
wicked-looking fist:
/ s'Beef-steak-f fried potatoes
hot bread-cup of coffee

magical. There never was

with just what he ordered 70
breakfast than the hungr,,
Westerner.
He evidently knew the wa.
Of putting his English SO tina
there was no mistaking it.

little are laid before the family |
eye as falniliary as if they were
not stepped in shame. To res
ceive the worlds news, in the
spirit and shape in which it is !
presented to millions Of read
ers every day, is to suppose
that all the worlds momentous
events. are conceived in fever
and brought forth in hyterics.
If anything were really gain
ed by this course there might
be poor apology for it, but
nothing ever was gained by it.
The papers which indulge in it
most are least trusted. The
moment an editor becomes
thoroughly conscientious, and
recognizes the Importance and
dignity of his position, he drops
his sensational headings with
disgust. 1t he has news from
Zanzibar, the heading of his
item states the fact ; aud if the
reader is interested in Zinnibar
he reads the item. IT he has
important news from Zinnibar
his heading states that fact,
and the reader finds the facts
as represented, and judges OF
the facts and their relations
without having been misled by
sensational heading. 1t is a
good newspaper rule to hit
every subordinate, sensational
head wherever the editor sees
it. All news with more than
one head is guilty OF q crime
against editor and reader alike,
and deserves decapltation.

into the realm of miracle. We
have no words to express our
admiration of it-no phrases
by which we can measure the
height and depth and length
and breadth Of the largess it
contains and the influence it
exerts.
Thus much we can say with
entire trnthfulness thus much
we do say with thorough hear

with the worlds great affair,
loaded down with the hopes,
struggles, misfortunes, crimes,
triumphs and achievements of
humanity, we expect to find it
earnest, dignified and catholic.
The first thing we see is half a
column eff sensational headings,
addressed, perhaps, to the pru~
rient curiosity of the basest
men. We open a Western pa
per, and find over an item of
intelligence, or Of falsehood,
concerning a grevious scandal
the words "HELL - in as large
letters as can be squeezed into
a column. This followed by
minor heads,every one of which
is intended to produce a sensa-
ton. We go on through the
paper, and it is all a sensation.
Oftentimes the headings mis-
lead as to the real character OF
the intelligence to which they
are the preface. All the news
chronicled is wrought up into
its most startling forms. To

Droacned HAMLET.

One more unfortunate,
Weary of breath,
Rashly importunate,
Gone to her death!
Take her up tenderly,
Lift her with care!
Fashioned SO slenderly,
Young, and so fair!
Look at her garments
Clinging like cerements,
While the wave constantly
Drips from her clothing;
Take her up instantly,
Loving not loathing!
Touch her not scornfully!
Think of her mounfully,
Gently and humanity
Not Of the stains of her;
All that remains of her
Now is pure womanly.
Make no deep scrutiny
Into her mAtiny
Rash, and undutiful;
Past all dishonor,
Death has left on her
Only the beautiful.
Still, for all slips others
One Of Ewes family
Wipe those poor lips of hers,
Oozing SO clammily.
Loop up her tresses
Escaped from the comb
Her fair auburn tresses,-
While wonderment guesses
Where was her home?
I Who was her father?
Who..was her mother?
Had she a sister?
Had she a brother?
Or was there a dearer one
Still, and a nearer one
Yet, than all other?
Alas! for the rarity
OF christian charity
Under the sun!
O, it was pitiful!
Near a whole city full,
Home she had none.
Sisterly, brotherly,
Fatherly, motherly
Feelings had changed
Love, by harsh evidence,
Thrown from its eminence:
Even Gods providence
Seeming estranged.
! Where the lamps quiver
So far in the river,
With many a light
From window and easement
From garret to basement,
She stood, with amazament,
Houseless by night.
The bleak wind of March
Made her tremble and shiver;
But not the dark arch,
Or the black flowing river;
Mad from ife's history,
Glad to Deaths mystery,
Swift to be hurled
Anywhere, anywhere
Out of the world!
In she plunged boldly
No matter how coldly
The rough river,ran-
Over the brink of it
Picture it,-think oft!
Dissolute man!
Lave in it, drink of it,
Then, if you can!
Take her up tenderly,
Lift her with care!
Fashioned 80 slenderly,
Young, and SO fair!
Ere her limbs frigidly,
Btifen too rigidly,
Decently, kindly
Smooth and compose Them;
And her eyes, close them,
Staring 80 blindly!
Dreadfully staring
Through muddy impurity,
A. when with the daring
N Last look of despairing
Fixed on futurity.
Perishing gloomily,

Cold inhumanity,
Burning insanity,

National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1875-02-04

To PRESERVE the right of suffrage in the
District, by providing for the election of a
delegate, and at the same time preserve the
seems to be an acceptable compromise
among the adherents of the numerous diff
ferent plans for the government of the Dis
trict. The Morrill, bill recognizes the re-
spOnsibilitY of the General Government for
the conduct of our affairs, and its passage
will consequently relieve the public of all
anxiety on that score. Of course, it will be
due TO the present efficient Commission for
the government of the District that it shall
be allowed to continue in Office until the
expiration of the present fiscal year, and in
the interim between the passage of the act
and that time every needful preparation for
the change from our present temporary to
a permanent condition could be satisfac-
torily arranged. 1t is to be hoped that the
petition to Congress on this subject, which
We print elsewhere, will be signed very
generally. Those persons who are not
exactly satisfied with the proposition should
remember that we are in danger of being
overlooked entirely, as the time remaining
of the present session of Congress is short,
and the necessity for change to a perma-
nent condition is imperative. At present,
with uncertainty about taxation, and with
no reliance to be placed upon the tenure of
affairs generally, it must be expected that
our nearest interests will suffer- On the
contrary, if the existing uncertainties were
removed, the prosperity and advancement
of the community would lie assured. Let
every good citizen make this a matter of
personal concern, and urge Congress to act
at once
National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1875-02-04
IS IT A SUDDEN CONVERSION

We observe from a correspondence pub
lished in the New York Times that the
special committee on Arkansas affairs have
recently had q meeting, and, the CORE
spondent says, have agreed upon their re-
port. 1t is further stated, on the same au-
thority, that Judge Poland, Mr.. Scudder
and the two Democratic members hive,
while conceding all the frauds and irregu-
larities' charged, come to the conclusion
that Congress has no power or authority to
inquire, under the circumstances, into the
revolutionary proceedings in Arkansas, or
to decide whether the present government
the offspring of fraud and revolution, as is
conceded, is republican in form and in
fact.
If this correspondents statements are
true, Judge Poland's mind must have un-
dergone a very sudden and remarkable
change since his return after the holidays.
1t is well known to several gentlemen now
in the city that previous to this date the
Judge was very emphatic in his declara-
tons against the legality of the Garland
usurpation. 1t is distinctly remembered
that he returned from Arkansas Justly in
dignant and disguised over the violent and
lawless manner in which the Garland gov
eminent was inaugurated. We do not sup
pose that any one, even the chairman Of
committee, can blot out or change the facts
which stand recorded in the Arkansas
case, and which no one has pretended to
contradict. Everybody knows that there
has been a revolution in the State Of Arkan-
sas, and every one knows through what
lawless instrumentalities it was precipi-
tated. The testimony concerning this is
unquestioned and undisputed.
We are informed that it has been sug-
gested by some Of the judicial members of
the committee that the principle decided
by the Supreme Court in the celebrated
slaughter-house cases, has some applica-
ton to the power of Congress with respect
to the political question as to which is the
rightful government of State. The con-
troversy IN the slaughter-house cases was
simply as to the construction of certain
provision of the fourteenth amendment to
the Constitution, and merely involved q
question OF municipal law or police regula-
ton in the State of Louisiana. 1t had moth
ing whatever to do with the principle de-
cided in the Rhode Island case, under a
very different provision of the Constitu-
ton. That it rests finally with Congress
to determine what government of a State
is the rightful one, and entitled to recogni.
tioB, we dare say will not be questioned,
nor be COMPOUNDED with the principle de-
cided in the slaughter-house cases. The
stuff talked around that the Supreme Court
has said or done something in the slaughter
house cases different from what was held
in Luther vs.. Borden is rather thin and
not calculated to deceive lawyers, we i'm
agine. The attorneys who appeared for
Garland. before the committee produced no
authority, and found no principle of law
giving countenance or support to the revo-
