There are NEAR men and meanme but
the meanest specimen of the genus man
is the chap who steals newspapers from
subscribers. No species of larceny is
so utterly abhorred by the people as
this, and we wonder that legislatures
do not provide a just penalty for the
offenSe.

May next is the time fixed for the
opening of the exhibition if our citizens
are to share the advantages of this in
ternational competition for the trade of
other nations, the necessity of immedi-
ate action is apparent TO enable the
United States to cooperate in the
international exhibition which was
held at Vienna in 1873,
congress then passed a Joint
resolution making an appropriation of
5000, 900, and authorizing the president
to appoint certain Number of practi-
cal artisans and scientific men, who
should attend the exhibition and report
their proceedings and observations to
him. Provision was also made for the
appOintm ent of number of honorary
commissioners.
/ have felt that prompt action by
congress, in accepting the invitation of
the government of France, is of SO
much interest to the people of this
country, and so suitable to the cordial
relations existing between the govern
ments Of the two countries, that the
subject might properly be presented for
attention at your present session.
The government Of Sweden and Nor
way has addressed an official invitation
to this government, to take part in the
international prison congress, to be
held at Stockholm, next year The
problem which the congress proposes to
study" how to diminish crime lis
one in which all civilized nations have an
interest in common. The congress at
Stockholm seems likely to prove the
most important convention ever held
for the study of this grave question

of congress, approved February 16,
1873, a commissioner was appointed
by my predecessor to represent the
United States Oh that occasion. The con-
gress, having been at the earnest desire
Of the Swedish government, postponed
to 1873, his commission was renewed
by me.
/ An appropriation of $4,000 was made
in the sundry civil service bill Of Octo-
Der, 1875, to meet the expenses Of the
commissioners. I recommend the re-

The subject is brought to your attention
at this time in view of the circumstances
which render it highly desirable that
the commissioner should proceed to the
discharge of his important duties imme-
diately.
AS the several acts of congress
providing for delayed reports from the
different departments require their
submission at the beginning of the reg

While conversing with a friend the

flowing beard was seen approaching,
propelled by the power behind, or rather
beneath it. He saluted my friend, who
introduced me, and as [ took the two
fingers of the right hand which the ex-
secretary presented to me between the
thumb and under finger Of my good,
right fippers, and while we both indulg-

He has freed himself from the cares of
official life: the incubus of Office troubles
him but little-it is another sort of ink
he has to deal with now. Yes, Belknap
has joined the irrepressible army of
guerrillas known as commercial travel

on the merits of a patent indeliable ink

More Telephone Discoveries.

Still another development of the
powers of the telephone has been made.
An experiment in New York, Monday,
demonstrated that the current of one
telephone would divide itself into nu-
merous smaller currents, sufficiently
strong for at least six telephones, dis
covery unparalleled in he science of tel
egraphy. Connections were made be-
tween the Central office and six other
places in the city, and cornet played
IN the Central Office was distinctly heard
IN the other six offices.
A rather embarrassing discovery was
