The Postal Telegraph Company.

The most important enterprise of
the year, so far as it affects business
in the United States, is the Postal
Telegraph Company, of which Hon.
A. M. Beard of Boston is president.
The company is now constructing a
through line from New York direct to
Chicago, which will be completed by
the first of December next, and will
have a capacity for promptly transmit
ting between the two cities over 3d.
600 messages per day. Other trunk
lines of like character will be built to
Boston, Philadelphia, New Orleans,
St. Louis, st. Pau, San Francisco and
other important points. The wire
consisting of steel core weighing 200
pounds per mile, that will resist ten
sile strain of 1860 pounds, on which
copper is deposited to the amount'of
500 pounds per mile. The wire has
greater conductivity, tensile strength
and durability than iron wire. Mes
sages will be transmitted over it by the
Lego automatic and the Gray har-
monte systems which will permit 1000
words a minute, being handled on
each wire in opposite directions. By
the Lego automatic system the ex-
act hand writing of message can be
transmitted, while by the Harmonic
system eight or more messages can be
sent simultaneously over one wire.
The company proposes to give the
public cheap and uniform rates, and
promises a certainty and CELEBRITY of
transmission at all times, without re-
gard to atmospheric condition. .'' "
The company will issue stamps
which can be used to prepay messages
by attaching them thereto. The cap
ital stock of the company is $21, 00O,-'
600.

public enterprise appeals TO the press
for support; and it seldom fails TO Sc
cure it, il it deserves it. The modern
newspaper is itself q public institution,
and therefore sympathizes with all
others. II is not subject to the mar
row and rigid rules which apply to
merely private callings, but to the
broad and enlightened principles
springing out of its relations to the
public and its duty to the people in
the collection and publication Of in
formation relating to their interests.
The business of journalism is no
longer a mere incident to the printers
trade. 1t has become a great and
learned profession, with honored fra
ternal organizations, similar to med
ical societies and bar associations.
The newspaper is the great educator
of the masses of the people, II visits
them from week to week, induces them
to read, and compels them to think.
The intelligence of family can be
Judged by the number and character
of newspapers taken and paid for by
it. The man who reads newspaper
is citizen of the world. He feels an
interest in the people. of all lands, for
their doings are brought home to his
door. He rejoices with them in their
fortunes and sympathizes with them
in their misfortune. A good newspa-
per is next to the bible in ennobling
mankind. The newspaper is also the
great agent of progress and reform.
Abuses do not reform themselves. The
newspaper brings them to the notice
of public opinion as often as it pro-
claims it's imperious, DEGREES. This
glorious nation is blessed with free
press, and as long as it remains free
from official censorship the liberties
of the people are safe. Usurpation
and tyranny cannot prevail against a
free press.-P,1nter's Magasine. blg

How the South Got Glover.

"That," said the guide, in answer to
the question, "is what we call Egyptian
clover. We didn't have it before the
war, and none of us ever saw it or heard

The seed was left on the ground by the
armies, and now we wouldn't take any
thing for it," The grass. which hast

all over the hillsides, at the edges Of

even forces its way into the titled fields.

Why We Should Raise Sheep.

Statistical calculations have evolved
the fact that the increase in the popu-
lation of the United States has doubled
once in % years. 1t is now about
eighteen million larger than in 1860,
and the natural inference is that in
1890 it will be about sixty-four mil
lion. Allowing four pounds of wool
to each person, it will require two
hundred and fifty-six million pounds
of wool to meet the requirements of
the inhabitants of this country ten
years hence.
We are now large importers of
wool, and yet we have countless acres
of as good grazing lands as eyes ever
looked at, with plenty of water, and
climate in almost any section of the
country adapted to the raising of sheep
and the cultivation of wool. The
growing demand for goods of all kinds
of which wool forms the component
part, makes it almost compulsory that
this branch of industry should be
carefully matured. In worsted goods
our trade is growing rapidly, and un-
less we get our supply of wool from
our own growers, this trade must
leave our shores for the more hosFita-
bic ones of England and France,
where it is tenderly watched over as
an important source of wealth. We
could and We should turn the balance
Of our trade largely in our favor, es-
pecially where there is so little cost
attached and the inducements are so
great.-SOaherl Lire Stock JON nal.

themselves unnecessary trouble. A
brighter, prettier, better dressed lot of
