The North american Revieoo is in certain re-
spects The most valuable periodical published
in this country, and each issue is sure to con-
tain some article worthy to go into permanent
literature. The January number, just issued,
is one of marked excellence. 1t opens with a
paper by Gen. w. B. Hazen on the great mid
die region of the United States. in which the
limited space of the arabic land is made evil
dent. His statements are based upon personal
observation and government reports, and he
comes to the conclusion that there is little cul-
tivable land left, and that we must soon face a
condition of facts utterly new IN the economy
of the country, when not new, but old, states
must make room for the increase of popula-
tion.
Mr.. Francis Parkman, the historian of
Canada, contributes a review of Mr.. III. Fl.
Bancroft's first volume on the native races of
the Pacific states. The work of Mr.. Bancroft
is warmly but Observation-Disclosures
The most noticeable paper, perhaps, in the
whole plumber is the Rev. James Freeman
Clarke's review of the Hon. Henry Wilson's
Rise and Fall of the Slave Power in America.
Mr.. Clarke's paper is itself vivid and sue
cinct history of the struggle for freedom.
The Wage fund theory of Mills and Cairnes
is ably and exhaustively treated by the Hon.
Francis A. Walker, who combats it. and main
tains that wages depend upon production, and
not capital.
The Episode of Municipal Government is
continued, and the history of the Tweed ring
brought down to the adoption of the new char
ter. -
The book review department will be found
one of the most entertaining of the number.
Mr.. Howell's Foregone Conclusion is warmly
praised, and many other books are treated Of.

New YORK PRESS ON THE PRESIDENTS
MEssAGE.-The Heralds New Orleans des-
patch says that Kellogg considers the Presi-
dents message as leaving out many strong
points. and McEnery says the President has
lodged all the issues.
The Tribune says the message is not without
merit, being adroitly drawn, but it CONVEYS
nothing not before known, and as a statemen,
of facts is a failure. 1t is throughout partisan,
one-sided and weak defence of an illegal ac-
tion.
The World styles the message "Grant's
plea" and condemns it for pallia;ng instead
of denouncing the alleged offences in Louisi-
ana.
The Sun says the President tells many things
not enquired about, and very little to the
point, opening in boisterous tone and taper
ing off with pite1ous whine.
The Herald calls the message message of
apology, and says it is a different document
from what was expected.
The Times says the message is a moderate,
strong and sensible document. and will make a
favorable impression on the country.

To the Editor of the Press:
Dear Sir: presume DIR. NJ. f. Wentvorth

of last week referring to the employment OF

carpenters through Mr. Burleigh's recommend
alton, refers to me as he on one occasion rem
dered himself very conspicuous in opposing my
employment in the yard.
1t is true am a harness maker by trade.
1t is also trne that 1 am considered an
average second class joiner. presume it can
not be considered great crime for me to work
at either branch of business at my cone mand
as it is not an unusual thing for mechanics to
work at more than one trade-any more than
for physicians to judge of joiners, car painters,
or even harness makers. Besides l believe |

A CHARACTERISTIC instance of the cynic-
al effrontery of Tweed is that related by the
North american ReUieav. While Garvey
was ornamenting the place at Greenwich he
put number of casss Of famous pieces or
statuary about the grounds. Tweed in
spected them. ''Who the h is that?' he
asked; and Garvey answered, ''that is Mer-
curry, the God of merchants and thieves"
"Good," said Tweed, "that's bully! Put
him over the front door," Mr.. Tweed's ad
miration for Mercury does not, however,
lead him to the worship of other heathen
deities; for he exhibits a great dislike to
Mars, and is unsparing in his condemnation
of Sheridan's course in the Louisiana affair.

The following extract from private letter
from Boston, written by prominent mer-
chant to gentleman in this city, recalls the
onte-bellam time when considerations of
Southern trade controlled the leading men
and papers of the great commercial centres
and shows that the spirit OF "shop'' is not
yet dead:
You will notice cali for a meeting in Fan
eull Hall on the 10Th inst. to make a big splurge
for the benefit of the Democratic party. This
all means shop, shop. and nothing but shop.
The fact is that the Post and some other New
York papers, iD order to make capital for New
York business, came out against Sheridan, and
the Boston AdUertiser, not to be outdone by
New York. rushed into the fight to save Massa
chusetts sheeting and ticking and that is all
there is to it. What a sorry sight to see those
two good old men, William Cullen Bryant and
Peter Cooper, both heavily stricken with years,
standing up in a meeting of the rowdies OF
New York, when the both should have been at
home wrapped up in warm blankets. If you
look over the list of slgners for the meeting,
you will see that they are uery respectable, too
much so to drop into the trap set by the Demo-

Washington News and Gossip,
HOW II WAS RECEIVED.


The Presidents message on Louisiana seems
to be genercly satisfactory to the Republicans
at the capitol, for it was hardly expected that
it would throw any new light upon the events
os which it treats. Some there are, however,
oe both sides, who go so far as to pronounce il
the ablest document which has issued from the
White House during the present adm:nistra-
tion. There is little If any reason to doubt.
however, that the message as read to the senate
and given to the country is not the message
submitted to the Cabinet and special council OF
senators. 1t is asserted observation-disclosures
without authority that the President
was confronted with the alternative OF
changes in the message or in the
Cabinent; but it may be said on the
the authority of Cabinet officer that no such
state of affairs existed. President Grant ex-
hibited perfect willn5 ness from the first to
accept and act upon the advice of his counsel
lors, and that the message as it appears is the
result of careful comparison and earnest but
amicabe discussion of the different views
which would naturally arise on so important
matter. The Democrats do not conceal their
disappointment at the position assumed by the
administration, many having fully believed il
would take an aggressive attitude in support OF
federal interference Their comment is that
the, message is a very shrewd political ma
euvre, and by it they acknowledge the ad-
ministration has taken most of the wind out OF
their sails.

The state of New Jersey has custom
which is worthy Of observance by other states.
The outgoing Governor, who naturally
knows more about the condition OF the state

appears that the state shows surplus over

CALIFORNIA has everything on large
scale, from gold mines to murders Her
farms are not exceptions. One embracing
10000 acres has just been let for five years at
an annual rental of $4,000. 1t is stocked
with 1900 head of cattle, 100 horses, so
mules, and 1900 hogs. This is considered
rather a small farm out there, for they have
sheep ranges of 100000 acres with focks
ranging from 10000 to 10000 head, and
wheat fields which yield 10000 bushels. One
day recently the receipts of wheat at Stock
ton amounted to 1,495 tons.

Why Should Any Man Swear =?

/ can conceive no reason why any man
should swear, but many reasons why he
should not.
First.-It is mean. A man of high moral
character would almost as lief steal sheep
as swear.
Second.-It is too vulgar; altogether too
low for a decent man.
Third.-It is cowardly; implying a fear
of not being believed or obeyed.
Fourth.-It is ungentlemanly. A gentle
man is we'll bred, refined. Such one will
no more swear than throw mud with q clod,
hopper
Fifth.-It is indecent, offensive to delicacy,
and extremely unfit for any human ear.
SiXth.--It is foolish want of decency is
a want of sense.
Seyenth.-It is abusive; to the mind
which cOnceives the oath, to the tongue
which utters it, and the person at whom it
is aimed.
Eighth.-It is venomous showing mans
heart to be nest of yipers, and every time
he swears one of them sticks his head out.
Ninth.-It is contemplate; forfeiting the
respect of all the wise and good.
Tenth.-It is wicked violating the divine
law and provoking the displeasure of Him
who will not hold him guiltless who taketh
| His name in vain.
