Twelve sets of telephones have In

Twelve sets Of telephones have been
sent out to Sir Garnet Wolsley for use
at the seat of war in South Africa. The
great advantage of the telephone over
the telegraph is that the General can
carry on confidential talk with the
officers at the district station, or a SOL
di-r can creep out toward the enemy's
lines and whisper back the information
as to position. A fine wire-the thin
ner the better-is all that is needed.
This the soldier carries on reel upon
his back; mile weighing only a few
pounds. This will be the first time the

A Mirror Attacked by u Sheen.

EOlll the llica VI server.
A commotion occurred in farmer 5
house, a short distance cut of Rome, on
Monday. They were cleaning house,
and LETT open doors leading to all parts
of the house. In one of the rooms was
large mirror, reaching to the floor.
On the premises is sheep, whose head
is graced with horns, and which is
very tame, entering the house when
ever an opportunity is presented. THIS
woolly animal got into the house un
noticed. When first discovered it was
standing facing the mirror, shaking its
head tierccly. Before it could be
reached itjumped back for good start
and then plunged its head into the mir
ror. Instead of coming in contact with
some other animal, as it expected, it
demolished tifty dollar mirror. The
crash so frightened The animal that in
its endeavors to escape from the screams
and attacks of the women of the house,
it found a place of exit through a
French window.

The sAPIENr correspondent OF the
"MorniLg Herald" in objecting to our
criticisms on the Democratic financial
policy of the city, forgets to say that
Mr.. Guthrie himself said upon the floor
Of Council that the appropriations re-
t.rred to would last until April, and
then the city could be carried ON thr, e
months longer by negotiable notes. lie
also told a representative OF this paper
that the financial estimate was for nine
months, AID that if the revenues of the
city were not sufficient to carly on the
city up to the first of July it could be
done by notes, ana that it was folly to
have money laying in the bank SO long
without interest. In addition to all
this Mr.. Guthrie, the Chairman OF the
Finance Committee, it seems informed
a representative of the "Eyery Even
ing" that he expected TO borrow enough
money from the banks next April to
meet the expenses OF the city up to
July first. We presume that there is
evidence sufficient of this design on the
part Of the committee, and no other
conclusion can be arrived at than that
the amount necessary to carry on the
city for those three months must be-
coule floating debt. This is all that
can be said about it, and the "Pro-

"A Washington special Of the 25th gives
the following There is some prospect of a
lively little breeze ahead FOR Secretary sher-
man The rather startling charge has been
made that he has been holding his Office as
Secretary Of the Treasury in violation of
law, and there il already talk Of Congress
ional investigation 70 find out IL the charge
Is true. Indeed, IL is asserted pretty posi-
lively shat . resolution, looking so such an
investigation, has already been drafted, and
will be offered very soon after Congress re-
assemblies. The law which Secretary Sher-
man is alleged 10 have Violated is section
24S Of the United States Revised Statutes,
which enacts that "no person appointed 70
the Office Of Secretary Of the Treasury, First
Comptroller or First Auditor, or Treasurer
or Register, shall, directly or indirectly, be
concerned or interested in carrying on the
business Of trade or commerce. And
every person who ofIends against any Of tho
prohibitions of this section shall be deemed
guilty of high misdemeanor, and forfeit TO
the United States the penalty of$3, ,OOOj and
shall, upon conviction, be removed from Of
flee and forever thereafter be incapable of
holding office under the United States.'
Under this section is would seem that the
Secretary Of the Treasury is prohibited from
engaging in any railroad business; yet, ac-
cording to an interview reported by George
Alfred Townsend, Secretary Sherman speaks
of himselfas being IN the directory Of the
Fort Wayne railroad since the days of the
Electoral Commission. One serious trouble
IS that "Gath's" interviews are not always
monuments of veracity, and it is just posi-
BILE that the Secrstary's connection with any
business venture cannot be proven. The
section given above is the one that prevented
the late A. T. Stewart from accepting the
Treasury portfolio when offered by General
Grant.

Taking retroslectiveview ofthe past seven

10 encourage us in our future career. Since
the first issue Of the Advocate we have
labcrcd faithfully to present to our readers a
local paper second 10 none in the county, as

current events-a newspaper which none
need fear TO introduce into the family circle.
That we have been successful in these efforts,
the large increase in our circulation during

Seven years ago we ISSUED. the ApvocArH in
miniature shape and with few patrons to-
day we send out 1000 copies Of 81 column
paper at the low price of $l.OO year, a cir
culation equal to and exceeding many Of the
country newspapers Of much older growth.
Our advertising patronage is also large and
increasing, thus eVidencihg the fact that the
ADvooATE is appreciated by our business
men as live medium for making their
wants known. That we have not pleased
everybody during the year just closed, we
are well AWARE we had not expected to do
30, neither do We expect to glide through the
cunning year without making enemies for
ourselves; To do 30 we must be more than
mortal. Our readers must bear in mind
shat il is not the business Of an editor of a
newspaper to please everyone; an attempt
TO do so would be an evidence of weakness
aud imbecility not to be pardoned by an in
teHigent community. "Hew to the line, let
the chips fall where they may" should be
the motto Of all newspapers when discussing
the questions of the hour. We shall in the
future, as in the past, endeavor to avoid all
personalities, and shall permit nothing of an
immoral character to appear In our columns.

patronage extended to us in the past, and

POOR nOYS.

The Rev. Washington GLADDEN. has en-
deavored TO ascertain what kind of early
training it is that makes prosperous men in
New England. To this end he asked eigh-
ty-eIght prominent business men concern
ing their early life, and found that eighty
four of them had been brought up in poyer-
ty and at hard work, most of them on farms.
II may be inferred that th cir educational
advantages in youth were very moderate
except in that kind Of education which is
obtained BY a somewhat rough and uninvi-
ting contact with the duties and business OF
life. The number of poor boys who have
become distinguished men is considerable in
ell free countries, but especially so in those
communities iu which the Bible and the
Sabbath are revcred, and family religious
training is common, as in New England
and Scotland.
Whilst thisinformhtion should encourage
poor boys to hope for their future, and in-
duce their parents to give them all the ad,
vantag,s they can Of good example and good
instruction, it should not encourage neglecti
- Of any avaIlabls opportunity of obtaining
instruction and useful knowledge. Neither
should it discourage the sons OF the wealthy
from looking forward 10 the attainment ol
distinction through their own efforts. They
have great advantAges-more leisure, supe.

well have brilliant career before them ;
but Il must be confessed that great proper
zion of them don't turn out well. Many
either become selfindulgunt sensualists or
indolent good-fopnothings. A boy who
knows his father can, will and must support
him in idieness and luxury, is in a most
perilous position. Good would il be for all
such il, in their early years, their fathers
wealthwere wholly swept away. Abundant
pocket-money has ruined far more boysthan
poverty, and more especially are boys whose
families use wine and beer, in the most ex-
treme danger, 's-'
