I. "A Fierce Telegraphic War.


The warfare now about commencing
between the powerful combination
known as the Western Union and the
Atlantic and Pacific telegraph company,
is of real Importance. All that the
public cares to know is whether the
final result will cheaper telegraphy,
and which ever method does viii proib=
ably win the suffrage. In the mean.
time, the young opposition have sue.
ceeded in getting possession of the Erie,
Pennsylvania and Baltimore and Ohio
roads and their connections, and as
these roads own, the poles along their
routes, they can exclude che wires of
the Western Union, and it is understood
they will.
They have also secured the control of
the new inventions, by the use of which
telegraphy is to be enormously reduced
in cost. Among these are the Americaf,
automatic instruments, Wheatstone's
English automatic machine, aud, owing
to misunderstanding which has arisen
with the Western Union, the most i'm.
portant of all-the celebrated quadru.
plex invention which sends at one time
two messages each way upon one wire,
md which received high praise from
Mr.. William Orton, the president of the
Western Union, in his last report.
It is especially interesting to press
people to know that the associated
press monopoly is at last threatened in
q manner that looks like business.
There is shortly to bo a meeting called
in Cleveland or Cincinnati by Mr.. Me-
dill, of the Chicago Tribune, for the
purpose of forming national press
association, which will place the great
papers OF other cities on an independent
footing with regard to news, and save
the annoyance and humiliation of hav-
ing it peddled out to them from New
York.

A Very Bad Story Abont Cuba.

The London Times publishes the fol-
lowing extract from a letter received
from one of the secretaries Of the
British and Foreign Anti. Slavery So
oiety I" In Cuba We are very bad.
We are told that four cargoes OF native
Africans have recently been brought
into the ::ssiiss;;d. The most determined
supporters of slavery now occupy the
most prominent positions in the gov
ernment Of the island. Senior Zulueta
is governor of Havana. The notorious
champion of slavery, M. Calvo. is il o
position of great influence, and the gov
ernment has forgotten that the Cortes
and the people of Spain have ever de.
oided that slavery should be abolished !;
slavery, therefore, is as triumphant as
ever. The shareholders of Cuba, are,
however, disturbed that they can no
longer import Chinese coolies without
limit, in consequence of the course taken
by the emperor Of Cuba. They now
want to supplement this by another
evil. and that is the importation OF
coolies from Cochin China. I, fear that
the future of Cuba will be that Of San
Domingo. The Spanish troops and the
volunteers cannot put down the insur-
gents, and they cannot drive the Cuban
party out of the island. The ranks of
the insurreotionists are full of negroes
and Chinese. They are near Cienfuegos,
where are 30 many slaves and slave
estates. Our financial situation is
dreadful. Some English papers appear
to think that this war is on a political
domination, but this is mistake. The
cause lies far deeper than this s-civiliza-
tion in its widest sense is involved.
Other nations cannot rest indifferent to
it. The British nation, having treaty
rights, which are violated, are especial
~ bound to interfere for the emancipa-
tion of slaves. You, the British people,
have been the standard. bearers of free
dom, and it is your duty and honor to
interfere. 1t is now in your power to
do much good"

French Manners.

A writer says The French are said
to be the politest people in the world,
and in some respects they are SO. Their
politeness may be only skin deep it
may be only a stilted etiquette, without
heartfelt emotion. But, on the whole,
it is better than studied Indifference and
rough ineivility. If not absolutely sin.
cere, it has; the external appearance of
being so, and saves the feelings from q
sense of outrage. A Frenchman always
takes off his hat on entering a!shop or
an omnibus or any other conveyance.
He is expected always to bow first to 6
lady of his acquaintance it would be
thought quite out of place for lady to
take the initiative. On entering o draw
ing-room French people bow to every
one who may be in the room, whether
they are acquainted with them or not.
The omission of these trihing civilities
by the English causes them to be con-
siderea rude and boorish. The line of
demarcation between different cl, sses of
society is less strongly defined in France
than in England. Servants consider
themselves pretty nearly upon an equal
ity with their masters and mistressas,
and their manners are marked by free
and easy, GOODNESS. which would be con.
eidered the height of impertinence in
England. They wish you good morn
ing and goodnight, as friend might
do, and expect to be thanked whenever
they open the door for you; French
man Of eVory class touches his hat to the
servant who opens the door for him,
The lower classes in France live much
more frngally and inexpensively than
people of the same rank in Ene land.
Soup and 6ouilli form the usual dinner
and supper Of the upper class of farm
els, workmen, and servants in French
families. The richer farmers have the
pot az Jeu every day, others only once
or twice week, and live on bread and
sou1oe a,Ic choMr on the other days, with
areiish Of cheese, salt tieh, and some
times butter"

An Egyptian laborer is considered to
have done good days work when he
picks from fifteen to eighteen pounds
of cotton. The American negro slaves
usually picked fifty pounds in the same
time. The constant use of the stick
and bastinado is necessary to keep at
work the fellahdeen in the khedives es-
tates, This fact may, however, be due
to other reasons than mere physical in.
trinity. The Immediate labor of about
fifteen persons out of every one hun.
dred in the United States, produces
more than enough food for all; whereas
in Egypt the same result calls for he
immediate labor Of at least three times
as many persons. while the result itself
is greatly inferior in quantity, quality
and variety. Rice and maize used to
be largely cultivated in Egypt, but the
government ordered wheat to be planted
in their stead, and the latter became
the principal exporting crop. It was
grown ono yer after another until M.
tnro gave out, and the grain grew SO
poor that it could scarcely find mar.
ket. That which found it's way to Eug
land could only be used in distilleries.
: The American war, occurring at this
: juncture, the government prohibited
the cultivation of wheat, and nominated
cotton in its placs. The culture Of this
staple was pursued until the fall of
prices occurred after the war, when it
was superseded by sugar, which is the
present favorite. The exports from
Alexandria, the shipping port OF the
country, furnish close guide to the
fluctuations in the product of these arti-
cles5 occasioned by this caprioious,
ruinous and sometimes fatal policy,
These facts are sufficient to prove that
there need he no fear of successful
rivalry in whe at raising on the part of
Egypt. Her wheat crop will take the
wings of the wind just as did her
boosted crop of cotton. Free and in
telligent labor will always como ont
ahead.

Causes or the Rise In Gold.

The causes of the movement are not
difficult to define. Ever since che
panic the. rate of interest has been so
low and the caution among investors so
decided that an unusual preference has
been given to government securities
both by private individuals and finan-
cial institutions. Prices of bonds have
thus been kept above the European
quotations, which have been depressed
by the unsettled condition of the Lon.
don and continental money markets,
and United States securities have, from
this cause, been steadily flowing home
for several months past. The amounts
of bonds thus returned must have been
very large. The refux is by no means
atiits height just now, and yet, last week,
one lot OF new fives OF 500, 900 was rs.
ceived, and the week previous one par
Gel OF $500. 600 Of the same class of
bonds arrived. Besides this GLASS Of
securities, some considerable amounts
of railroad bonds have been returned
from Germany. This refux of invest
ments has kept exchange high at the
time when rates are usually the lowest,

$25. 100000 more of gold than we other.
wise should, to pay for securities which
we had regarded as having found a per-
manent resting place in other countries.
Such a movement would hardly have
been deemed possible in anticipation !;
and it's occurrence opens our eyes to q
new source Of uncertainty in the ex-.
changes. at present, we zee no symp-
toms of it's early cessation. The enor-
NOUS issues of obligations made by
France have caused continuous shift
ing of securities ever since. The Eu-
ropcan investment markets have been
and still are unsettled, and possibly also
are overcrowded with issues in the
hands Of negotiators and seeking final
resting place among investors. And
yet the coinage operations of Germany
and the singular accumulation of specie
in the bank Of France are causing IN
unsettled feeling in the great money
markets which is calculated to force se-
curities on the markets. just now,
Paris is negotiating a loan of $50, OOO.-
600, the making room for which is like
~ to cause some other investments to
be parted with. So long, therefore, as
the market rate for money continues
here 1a2 per cent. above the quotations
in the European markets, it would seem
that we must stand exposed to this re-
turn of securities. The prospect is not
welcome one; for it implies further
outflow of specie, with consequent Auc-
Iatuations in the gold premium and in
values generally, which are anything
but wholesome in their effects on busi-

What the true man wants with n wife
is her companionship, sympathy, ani
love. The way Of life has many dreary
places in it, and man needs companion
to go with him. a man is som mstimes
overtaken Ivy misfortunes he meets
with failure or defeat trials and tempt.
ations bese: him, and he needs one TO
stand by and sympathise. He has SOME
hard battles to Sight with poverty, enc
mics, and with sin; and he needs a wo.
man that when he puts his arms around
her, he feels that he has something to
fight for; she will help him to fight /;
that will put her lips to his ear and
whisper words of counsel, and her hand
to his heart, and impart inspiration.
all through life, through storm and
through sunshine, conflict and victory,
through adverse and favo1ing winds,
man needs woman's love. The heart
yearns for it. A sisters or mothers
love will hardly supply the need.
