ISLAND POND. DECEMBER 10, 1850.

Is not our boosted civilization a
failure? Are we not fast becoming
q nation of thieves? Is honesty to
become lost virtue in this country?
The recent defalcation of trusted
officials in various financial institu.
tions of the country make the above
questions timely. We send mis-
sionaries and millions Of dollars
every year to foreign countries for
the purpose of converting the
heather to our Christianity and
civilization, while nearly every day
in the year some of the exalted dis
Uiples of that Christianity and civil
ifation are proven to be common
thieves--that is not what people call
them but that is what they are. The
man that arpropriates one dollar or
a million dollars of other peoples
money to his own use is common
thief, aud no other word should
ever be used to describe him. Would
not our money be spent to better
purpose in endeavoring to inculcate
Il higher sense of honor in our own
business men, than in sending miss
ionaries to foreign lands to convert
the heather to a system of civiliza-
tion that high minded men and
women are becoming more and more
ashamed of every day? We can
never expect things to be any better
until mar who robs his fellow men
is properly punished for his crimes,
and becomes what he deserves
to be, an outcast. Too often do
we find ministers of the gospel in
tcrceding with the pardoning pow
ers of the country in behalf of some
man who has been proven i'll court
of law to be a thief, and what do
they offer in extenuation of the
crime? The prisoners previous
good character, his family and like
arguments. These very thin gs
should really make his sentence the
heavier. But do they? Oh, no,
they very often result in his getting
pardon and going out to prey upon
his credulous fellow men again. We
send men to prison for stealing a
few cents, in many cases to supply
themselves or families with the bare
necessities of life, while We pardon
thieves who steal thousands of dol
lars to purchase luxurles and style
for themselves and families. This
is all wrong and as long as it is kept
up we cannot expect stealing to STOP
among those who handle other PEG
pies money. If either class o.
thieves should be pitied and pardon
cd it should be the small ones, many
of whose surroundings have beer
such that they scarcely know righ'
from wrong, and not the large ones
nearly all of whom have moved il
what the world calls the upper ant
more cultivated classes of society
and some of them have been teach
ers of Christianity and morality
THERE'S pressing need of reform
in these matters. No system O
civilization that has not for its cor
ner stone honesty, can ever become
permanent. Let the press and tn
pulpit take hold of this matter ant
do their whole duty in teaching oul
people honesty-to be honest from
principle and not policy.

The Model IIoyuott Idea,


Chairman Owens who presided at the
Capitol rink meeting on Monday evening
has tho model boycott idea, He says
that 1t 10 not necessary to hear both sides
before you strike somebody. Hear one
side simply and strike the other side at a
venture, Life is too short in the eatima-
ton of Mr., Owens to waste timO in inves
tIgating matter on which you propose to
act, however serious tho consequence Of
your action may DO TO the person against
whom you decide in advance, 1t 10 al
ways safe in labor difficulty TO decide
against the employer. This Is the sort Of
Justice that Mr.. Owens recommends tow
ard anybody that employs anybody. 1t
reads good deal like Chief Justice
Taney's deliveranCe In the Cele-
brated bred Scott case when he said that
the colorcd man had no
rights which the white man was bound to
respect. In this case, with Mr.. Owens
acting as Chief Justice, the morning news
papers represent the Colored brother and
the striking printers the noble white man,
and this being their unfortunate statue
they have Of course no rights which he
is bound to respect.
He acknowledged III his speech that he
knew nothing whatever Of the nature Of
the difficulty between the papers and
their late employees, but neither was 1t
necessary for him to understand 1t in
order to urge on the boycott. His notion
Ia the Donnybrook motto, "wherever you
sac head hit It," II only It's the head
OF an employer,
Now We are glad to believe that up to
this time the destinies OF this country arc
not in the keeping Of Ruch men 40 Mr..
OwenE, We do not even believe that the
destinies Of the hated newspapers, against
which he isurging on the boycott, areih tho
hollow Of hia hand. We believe they will
survive reign Of terror urged on under
the auspices Of a man who Is not ashamed
to say in free land to free people that
he does not care to know their sIde Of the
questlon--thst he has preludged their
case-that, in effect, they have no rights
which 10 feels bound to respect.
The morning newspapers feel that they
have a good case, and not only good one
but very strong one, and they manifested
their entire confidence in every aspect Of
1t, when they offered to submit the whole
OF II to the arbitration OF three disinter-
ested citizens. Yet Mr.. Owens, as an ad-
vocate Of the boycott, urges that the
business Of destroying the newspapers be
proceeded with without regard to whether
they have case or not. This illustrates
ths utter brutality Of the boycott weapon
in tho hands Of men to whom It ia all one

guilty.

Cakes h g g

In a little book just published by the
Judson Printing Co., New York, a
large number of practical, though novel
receipts are given for making cake OF
various kinds, from the informal grid
die cake to the stately bride cake, with
out eggs. by the use of the Royal Bak-
ing Powder. Experienced h0usekeep-
ers inform us that this custom has
already obtained large precedence over
old fashioned methods in economical
kitchens, and that the product is fire..
quently superior to that where eggs
are used, and that less butter is also
required for shortening purposes. The
advantage is not alone in the saving
effected. but in the avoidance of the
trouble attendant upon securing fresh
eggs, and the annoyance Of an occa.
sional cake spoiled by the accidental
introduction Of an egg that has reached
a little too nearly the incubatory period.
The Royal Baking Powder also invari-
ably insures perfectly light, sweet, and
handsome cake, or when used for grid
die cakes to be eaten hot enables their
production in the shortest possible
space of time, and makes them NEST
tender and delicious, as well as entirely
wholesome. There is no other prepar-
alton like it.

We are 10 receipt Of a number OF com
m~unicetions on a topic which just now
seems 10 be receiving the attention OF q
great many persons II IL the question OF
the treatment Of consumption, and all
kindred Of diseases, without drugs. Many
years ago IN France. It was decided by the
leading physicians that nothing was equal
to beef as an article Of diet in consumption
and all ailments which tend 70 its develop
ment. This is now a generally-admitted
fact. Much difficulty, however, has been
experienced in the PRONUNCIATION Of this
truth. from the fact that many stOmachs
cannot digest It. The indigestibie quality
oil all cod-liver oil having led to It's being
abandoned in medical treatment, it was
found that blood taken from an animal
iust killed, II swallowed, produced mar
velous beneficial effects. This found favor
with Few. however, but the idea has been
put into practical operation, and there are
in all parts Of the world to-day hospitals
devoted to the cure OF consumption. and
kindred diseases, where beef combined
with alcohol, in some form, is the chief
article of food. Efforts have been made BY
those interested to keep this simple rem
edy from the masses, partly from self
ish motives, but quite as much from
the IdCJ LudJ the WOulSIlu III DbuOULS 10
be received would be doubted by many
II they knew in advance what constituted
the cure. Another reason was, hat it's
efficacy depends on the presence of spirits
free from authorizations and fnsel oil. In
the past such an article has been diificnlt to
procure. Now. however, it can be obtain
ed, and the communications we have
referred to are from parties who are using
a formula Of this kind received from the
Duffy Malt Whiskey Co, of Baltimore,
Md. The formula, which was prepared
specially for them by an eminent German
scientist, consists principally of raw beef
steak and ingredients, which any house
keeper can get and mix, combined with
their pure malt whiskey, which will, If reg
gularly used, add on an average from to 8
pounds in n month to the weight. On the
receipt of a twO-cent stamp, the formula
will be sent, to all parties using their
whiskey, under the seal of the company.
From the abundance Of testimony
there can be nc question as to its
value. This method of treatment is in
accordance with the views of the two
recognized leading medical authorities of
this country, Professor Austin Flint and
Professor H. G. Wood. The company has
received so many inquiries concerning this
formula, that they have found it neces-
sary to add a medical department to theiE
other business facilities.

Col. Davis Impressions of Vlcks-
burg and One of Her Citizens.
Mobile Register.
Colonel +. p. Davis returned yester-
day morning from Vicksburg, and

rendered him by the military of Vicks-
burg. He says he spent a very pleas
ant week, received many courtesies,
and is highly impressed with the peo-
pie and city of Vicksburg. He seems
10 have been especially taken with
Governor Lowry, whom he character.

and at the same time most digniied
and courtly executive he ever met.
The Governor was, in manner and ap.
Pearance, as well as intellectually, the
greatest man the colonel had the pleas.
nre of meeting during his recent visit.
OF Gen. Kicks, Col. Davis had also
many pleasant words to say.
"0ne of the most unexpected and at
the same time most highly apprecia-
ted features of the VISIT" said Col.
Davis, "was the courtesy shown us by
Nj. M. S. Belknap. superintendent Of
the Vicksburg and Meridian road,
formerly superintendent of the Mobile
and Montgomery division of the Louis
vile and Nashville. Mr.. Belknap was
early in the field and gave US welcome
to Vicksburg; and he stood by us all
the time, with a special car on hand
for our comfort and accommodation.
When we started home, he offered us
free transportation and the use of his
special car, and came himself to show
as the way home. Nothing could be
nicer than his treatment Of the Mobile
boys. He said also that it was purely
out of fondness for the dear old town.
and that he stands ready at all times
to treat Mobilians TO the best he has in
the house. ! wish you would thank
him for u.s."
