TIE INNER LIFE OF A WAR CoRKEsroNpENr A
Philadelphia correspondent, q F E who attend
ed in that city the lecture on the above subject by
Archibald Forbes, the distinguished English jour
nallst on the 9th ult., sends us some notes Of
what he heard Mr. Forbes paid several glowing
tributes to Americans and stated that some Of the
most famous war correspondents with whoa he
had been acquainted were natives of this country.
Mr. Forbes ideal Of a war correspondent required
SO many qualities that no man can be found
possessing them all People little realized as the
morning paper was handed them at the breakfast
table, what enormous sacrifice had been made
TO produce the printed sheet before them The war
correspondent Lad, literally, to go through fire
and water,-to be ever present. to be able to
overcome every obstacle and to know everything,
even when he was III circumstances to know moth
ing. Mr. Forbes interested his audience for some
time, in relating some OF his adventures hard
ships, hair breadth escapes &c. Some Of the teats
he accomplished in gathering news and getting
them from one point to another, were apparently
miraculous. On one occasion he travelled 200 miles
within As hours "a part of the distance being trav
eled on horse back) and on another he apparently
conquered time itself He sent an account Of an
engagement which took place in India at IL 4 Nj
to England, and account OF the difference in
time between India and England the message ar
rived so as to be published in England at $ A. NJ.
the same day The dispatch was transmitted to
New FORK In time for the morning papers and to
San Francisco, Cal so as to be printed and papers
distributed, at NJ Thus the people OF San
Francisco enabled to read an account of d
battle which apparently takes place four hours
later on the same day.
1t was considered great achievement by means
of the electric telegraph, to send message around
the world in 10 minutes but in this case a message
appeared to have been sent 900 miles or more
than half the distance around the globe in four
hours less than no time at ALL This will be readily
comprehended when account is taken of the differ
ence in time between India and California Mr..
Forbes said that experiments were proposed to les
constantly exposed, The following is one proposal
balloon should be constructed so that person
might be sustained in md-alr overlooking the field
of battle thus ont of the reach of bullets and she'll
One end of telegraph wire is to be attached TO
the balloon and the other to the nearest telegraph
office, the operator peering down upon the con
tending armies through telescope Mr. Forbes
thought this contrivance might do for some PEG

The logic Of the newspapers that persist in at
tributng President Garield's assassination to the
spoi,s system can be used with equal effect against
the Republican form of government. Ours IS the
only government under which every citizen can
aspire to office with the slightest prospect OF
having his aspirations realized. 1t was this fact
that made Guiteau an aspirant and Ii he shot the
President because of failure to secure an office
and # any system can be held responsible for his
conduct it must be charged against government
Of for, and by the people. There is no escape
from this conclusion, if we admit the premise I In

Mr.. Editor IL read with great pleasure the
timely remarks In your valuable paper few
weeks since upon the intolerable nuisance which
the noisy gatherings upon our street corners on
Sundays occasioned to the cburch-going portion
Of the population. The prompt measures which
were taken to suppress the evil as soon as 1t was
called to the attention Of the authorities, embol-
dens me to request the use Of your columns for
the discussion Of an habtual violation Of the
fourth commandment In this town. the sight Of
which cannot be pleasing to any who believe that
the maintenance Of the sacred observance Of the
Christian Sabbath Is most essential to the well
fare OF the community. refer to the keeping
open Of the barber shops in our town on Sunday. 1t
seems as II there can be necessity for this and
after talking with the barbers find that most Of
them desire to close, but that the movement has
failed account OF lack Of concerted action. II
the selectmen were to give them notice that the
Sunday law must be obeyed, think that they
would be glad Of 1t; and respectable and hard
working class would then have an opportunity
for the rest once in seven days which all mankind
have been found to need.
