GENERAL PRESS REVIEW.

1t Is true that man Is often templeu 10
drink, but as y rule bar rooms do not follow
him about town, and lager beer shops have
never'been known to 20 after man, call him
out of his house and keep him away half OF
the nisht. There are two sides TO the temper
ance question, and the young man who has
not made up ha mind TO be worthless
drunkard should keep on the right side.
Neither does the bel-punch ring in Texas
Of Its own accord, and because young man
does no. hear its gentle Naturalization
when no makes on astronomical observation
by looking through "a glass skywsrd in q
drinking saloon, ii is no sign thst he is u
temperance apostle.
The editor of the Lesdyille Democrat is
evidently victim Of misplaced confidence
He has been TO u church fair, CROPPED around
with his hand in grab bag and searched for
the inaniteaimal oyster in the soup. Near

ladies in the interest Of tho church. You
have chance in the one, but not ghost OF
ono in the other.
The Philadelphia Times ia decidedly satlr-
cal and equally AS truthful:
Cuban officials must look upon America ss
more promiIing 1eld for the fraud business
than their own illiberal land. There be.

earnings were not moro thau 81, 900 year,

this modest sum, m eGaGting and cengorious

Where would our great stawart statesmen
belt wo based our Judgments upon such mar
row limitations Twenty years ags many Of
our most prominent mon Ia all branches OF
public life went TO Washington glad and
proud to work Tor $1,000 or $4,000 year.
And we'll they might be, for out of these
thousands they have nearly all saved for
tunes OF millions!
There is no better illustration Of the prone.
ness of the American people to 20 of half
cooked in so many things, and to commence
undertakings they never or at lsast hardly
ever complete, than the following statement
from the New Orleans Democrat:
This Is not country for monuments We
have known this ever since our people began
to erect that famous pillar TO Washington at
tho capital, which is yet uncomplsted One
Of the worst monumental failures was tho
late Horace Greeley. When that statesman
and editor died, no loa5 than six different as-
soeistions were organized TO erect monumeH-
tal arches or ahaiu over bis tomb He had
been candidate for tho presidency, an or
garner of tho abolition party, y printer, and
filed other places and professions and
nearly all of Observation-Disclosures, printers, ct
als.-proposed to honor his memory with
monuments. 1t was generally suppoled
that the tomb would not be large enough 10
allow Of all these testimonials being erected
on it and that some Of them would have to
be placed ia Central park. Seven years have
passed since Greeleys death, and a good
deal Of money has been contributed her9 and
there to these various funds, particularly by
the pointers, yet when q newspaper investl-
gAed the aubioct, the other day, it found
that tho fruit Of these six monumental socio-
ties was small, cheap, inferior bust of the
late editor OF tho New York Tribune, and
that there was no probability of anything
else being sci up to rocall his memory.
There is no limit TO the holj of nowsp ,per
enterprise and energy. The Chicago Iutor
Ocean Of a recent date says:
We are now ablo to announce that this
object has boon accomplished. Tho Inter-
Ocean has leased wire for y term of yearS
between those two cities, and tho editorial
rooms Of tho paper ara now directly con.
necied with the Office OF our correspondent at
Washington. We employ our oWu opera
tors, and have exclusive uso Of the wires All
moss gos from Washington ara sent dirac.
by our own operator, and are received in tho
editorial rJoms by the operator a. this end
of the line. Tho amount of matter sent and
received s only limited by the demand, or
By the capacity OF the wire.
This is a good idea, and now that grand
telegraphic monopoly has boon established
