Ex-PREsIDENT HAYES; "The issue with
Arthur as collector of the port of New
York did not arise from want of confidence
in his capacity or ability, but on question
of method in reforming the civil service.
The issue having been made and Mr..
Arthur declining to yield the point of diff
ference, the alternative had to be met and
his removal was ordered, but with extreme
reluctance.

WHEN president takes the oath Of office,
it is the custom to present him an open
Bible to be kissed. 1t is noted that the
words upon which President Arthurs lips
CHANGED to fall were those of Psalms, xxi;
2, 81 "In thee, o Lord, do put my trust /;
let me never be ashamed deliver me in thy
righteousness. Bow down thine ear to me ;
deliver me speedily be thou my strong
rock, for an house of defense to save me-"

BUFFALO Express; "The charges of the
presidents illness would be a heavy tax on
the meagre estate he was able to leave to his

million prosperous people of the republic,
aud they will bear them willingly, cheer

A WONDERFUL FUTURE.-The day

A WONDERFUL FUTURE. The day is
comlng,-and SO near at hand that
many OF this years babies will witness
1t before they cast their first vote, -
when business men will cease to tOrtte
letters. Why? Because the Telephone
and Telegraph will be just as cheap,
and twice as handy. The Telephone is
already here and in the great cities
people wonder how they ever got along
without them. 1t will illustrate their
wonderful prevalence in and around
New York to mention that within ton
minutes after Garfield's breath ceased, =
the fact was known by every police sta
tiOn, hotel, newspaper, and theatre
say 80, 600 persons, in New York and
Brooklyn, although the event occurred
fifty miles away.
The Telegraph is older, but as yet
has not come Tito general uAe, because
Of the expense. But it is coming with
great rapldity. Few of our readers
nave any idea of the amount of wiz,
now in use; and fewer still are aware OF
the marvellous improvements IN Icle
graphy during three years past.
Take a single company, the Western
union. In 1850, one year after the
war, it had 1880 Offices, and 10, 6s6
miles of wire. In June Of last ear il
had 9,O77 offices. and 233,534 miles OF
wire. At this date It's grand total woulu
probably exceed 24o, 600 miles
What a tremendous corporation 1t
must have ~, 600 men IN lis cmploy.
But mark, further: the number ol
messages sent in 1870 were 9, l51, 646 +,
in 1880 the figures had increased iui.
twenty thousand, being In fact % 2lG,~
500. And the cash receipts last yea.
were $l2, 1872 $50, upon which the com
pany acknowledge a clear profit. over
all expenses. OF So 49,. 93S.
Yet the costs have been steadily fall
ing. In 1870 the average cost or mes
sag. was 81 cents; In leS0, the average
cost was % cents.
In these facts there would be promise
of better things IN future, even if we
did not know OF the recent inventions,
which will make It'll greater reductions.
One OF the Inventions allows half a
dozen messages to go, and come {pass
ing each other cn the same wire at the
same time Another invention prints
tIlc WOluS ol lOuR SIilD> vi paper, 81
that a single operator eau attend to six
messages at once. This, of course, is a
great saving Of expense.
Furthermore, the cost of wire has
been very greatly reduced. So has the
cost of sulphuric acid, and other ma
~terials fol making electricity
ALI these things reduce expense.
And if the government would establish
a widespread system Of vines 1t would
be easy to send a letter at five or ten
cents cost.
1t will come to :hat in less than ten
years. Even to day. messages are seat

was some mistake about the report that

months extension to the Clyde syndi-

That is a mistake. The extension was
