That is an interesting story told in the Boston Herald concerning a movement for uniting parts of the North and South in 6 new party. According to the narrator, some of the leading southern Democrats, disgusted with the northern wing of the party, were in the movement. General Garfield favored it in some of it's aspects, and accepted all the information he could get regarding it's strength and purposes, his increasingly bitter quarrel with the stalwarts was turning him more and more into it, correspondence at considerable length was carried on between northern and southern men and 8 platform even was drawn up and considered, eInbody- ing the principles upon which both sides could agree to unite. This platform accept ed the war as having forever settled the questions at issue when it was fought, the South acquiesced in it's conclusions and the North alphabetically disavowed any intention of humiliating or holding southern men criminally responsible, or of any further az itation of sectional questions. The object of these avowals the platform said, is to oblit- crate the prejudices of the past and to bring the country together upon broad platform of mutual interest and mutual love. The principles of the Republican party upor the tariff were affirmed and ga tariff for reve nue only'' repudiated, etc, etc. The death of President Garfield and the success of Ma hone in a movement with which this could have had little sympathy postponed the con. summation of the plans, even if they did not whollyremove the possibility of their con summation. It is promised that by and by the correspondence will be published, and that we shall be surprised when we see who was engaged in it,

Oleomargarine seems to be popular. Whole sale butter dealers are reported as saying that there is very slack demand for com mon and medium butter, because of the in creasing demand for oleomargarine. The concerns making oleomargarine say that their orders are on the increase, and they cannot keep stock on hand. It is claimed that notwithstanding the law requiring oleomar- garine packages to be plainly marked, good deal is sold without the mark, and the law is practically dead letter.

 Turning to the press, we shah say shortly in what particular we wish its influence less. It is far too powerful in circles called minis terisl Up to Lord Palmerto1's time, we fancy politicians of ministerial rank lived more in the country and less in the closet The thoughtful statesman MS also man through whose veins the blood of the nation ran; so that he did not need to be told by the newspapers how it's heart was beating. In the world and of the world, an EnziiEh- Minister first and all the rest afterwards, he could hatter himself that he probably knew what the country thought as well as any nun Der of newspaper editors, and better what it needed. Bis business of knowing and his business of governing he did for himself &C., cording to his undertakings and responsibili- ties. Here there is a change for the worse. Much too often nowadays Ministers and min isterial personages seek in the press for what they should find in their minds scanning the news-sheets just as they would tap a barometer, in order to draw from these ex- perts what ought to speak 90 them from their own senses. That our governors should carefully consult the newspapers is eminent ly desirable; that they should do SO as medi- cine-men investigate for omens the entrails of bird is most undesirable; and yet that is more and more the habit of student poiiti- clans It is not for us to undsrrate the functions of the press, to question its intelh-
 
 are persuaded that it is allowed an influence that tells upon the vigor of independent statesmsnship. Although they may be known to have purely personal inspiration, yet half dozen hostile articles in one or two powerful journals will sometimes disturb 6 Cabinet almost as much as if it had caught whispers from the sky causing the members thereof to falter and alter where before they were quite clear and very determined On the other hand, the same fnen are really cheered by favorable or enthusiastic com ment, which they are perfectly aware pro ceeds from the merest and most interested partisanship, or even from sources thai have been ''got ats for the purpose. No doubt the distress on the one hand and on the other may be explained by the fact that whatever the motive that directs powerful news paper, its action on the public mind is pret- ty much the same. The fact is, however, that this is not the whole explanation The power of the press has almost become a superstition; and it weighs something oc- cult and overmastering upon minds which ought to hold themselves clear above all such fancies. This we regret. The power of the press extends too far, and its influence ceases to be wholesome, when statesmen dread it or rely on it so much as in these days they are disposed to do.

HECKER'S
PERFECT BAKING POWDER.
A FAIR TEST.

To the Editor of the Journal tG Courier; Sir:-The contract for supplying the United States government with seventy-tive thousand (75,OOO) lbs. of Baking Powder during the en- suing year has been awarded to Hecker's Perfect Baking Powder, it having been tested by Dr. Ed ward G. Love, analytical chemist for the government, and recom- mended by him for it's excellence and because it contained higher percentage of gas (which means it will make lighter bread and bis- cuit) than either the "Royal'' or the other cream tartar baking powders which he examined. The samples analysed by Dr. Love were furnished by the government com missiOners, and were without the manufacturers label or name, and designated with a number known only to the commissioners.
 It will thus be seen that when Hecker's Perfect Baking Powder submitted to an impartial test it's superiority is acknowledged, and the popular verdict so emphat- icaliy expressed in it's favor is fully sustained,

It having been decided that there is noth- ing in the will of Stephen Girard to prevent the establishment of 8 mechanical depart ment in Girard college, such a department will be immediately established. The plan of the trustees will resemble in some respects the Russian system now in vogue in the School of Technology in Boston. Rooms are to be fitted up in the basement of the college, where will be located the machine shops and all the equip ments of general manufactory. Compe- tent mechanics and machinists are to be em- ployed as instructors. It will be understood that this department will be a school of in- struction and not department of construc- tion. In other words, the products of the skill of the boys, when they shall have ac- uuired skill, will not be for sale, but will be applied merely to the uses of the college It is intended to adopt this policy so as not to stand as competitors of employed mechanics Machinery and mechanical construction will only be one branch of the department. The scholars will be instructed in the handling of the saw and plane as well ss the file. The rooms to be devoted to the department will contain benches with yises and tools, 8 blacksmith's forge, and complete equipment of machine shop lathes, planes, etc. It is in- tended to turn out thorough mechanics from the department young men who will be e. pablo of performing skilled labor of any kind

A DAr OF TEEKIBLE PEh4L.

'iThe 18th was the moss trying day of the voyage. The remnants of the port cutter were swept overheard, and about half past eight in the morning we heard the noise of shifting cargo in one of the rear comrart- ments. It sounded like thunder The only way we could get into that hold, No. 1. was by cutting through bulkhead from No. G.
 This of itself was hard work, with the sea as rough as it was. We found about one hun dred and fifty tons of lead, steel and hides pitching about with the roll of the vessel There was no use in trying to stow it, we could only jam it up bit by throwing other freight in with it. For this purpose ve took sheepskins and bales of empty bags from the other hold While he was trying to choek some of the rolling pig lead the third mate, Mir. Geary, was caught by the left leg be- tween bale and stanchion, and could only be released when the ship made her next lurch. The ankle was badly crushed, but I do not think the bone was broken He is now laid up in the Quarantine Hospital. at Staten Island
 On this day we worked from morning till night without a morsel to eat We ecouId not stop for that, 1t WAS life or death for us. On the -20th the ships head was hove to the
 wind, and all hands were employed in passing pig lead from one hold to the other. Again not 6 meal was eaten by any of us for more than twelve hours The compartment in
 which the cargo had shifted was entirely emptied and the danger was thus arrested.
 From this time till we arrived of Sandy Hook,
 where it was extremely difficult to get pilot. the ship suffered no damage worth mention ing. But in these latter days the cold vas ] most intense and she gathered an enormous burden of ice. On the goth the tempersturs was degrees below zero, on the 2lst g above and on the 23d and 24th below. The bar l ometer stood at 2S. 50 inches on the 12th and 2S.60 on the 18th, lower than I had ever known it before

 The statement of the census bureau con- corning the population of the one hundred principal cities of the United States contains some interesting facts. New York IS, of course, the largest of the hundred, and Springfield Illinois, is the smallest. It Is rather surprising to learn that during the last ten years Chicago has not gained in pop ulation as fast as some of the eastern cities. Thus Brooklyn, New York, advanced during that period from the aggregate population of 39G, 1000 to 566, 900; Boston gained 112,- GOO; while Chicago gained but 104, ,000, these figures being given in round numbers. The proportion between the native and for eign population likewise is suggestive and will be disappointing to any who are dis turbed over the question, and represent that we are to be swallowed up speedily by for eigners New York city has native popu- lation of 727, ,629, and foreign population of 478, ,67O, an excess of about quarter of 8 million in our favor. Philadelphia makes remarkable showing: Native, GAP, ,835 for eign, 2O4, ,335.
