ALEX ANDRIA-.
TUESDAY EVENING, JULY 81.

The AUGUST number of the Forum con-
tains an excellent article upon newspaper
espionage. It has become customary no"
with many newspapers to pry into the most
private affairs of the most private men, and
make them public. When the detection or
suppression of crime, or the Improvement OF
morals, ia the object OF this espionage 1t Is
not only justi6able but praisewortby Dut
when, as is almost invariably the case, it Is
merely for sensational purposes or to
stimulate and crafty purient curiosity, 1t
is Objectionable and csnsurable in the high
est degree, and goes far to sustain the Wis
dom of Governor Berkeley, who thanked
God no newspaper was printed in the COL
ony of Virginia.

TIE LATEST attempted revolution in
Mexico affords another instance OF the fact
that assumed patriotism ID the last refuge OF
scoundrels, as most of the "revolutionists'
were robbers and horse thieves, and their
chief objects debauchery and plumber. HUI
mar nature is the same all the world over,
and similar objects inspire most of the gov
srnmental reformers in this country.

The fact that the receipts of internal rev.
enue during the year just closed were four
million and half in excess Of those of the
preceding year, and the cost of collection one
hundred and fifty odd thousand dollars lees,
rather disproves the republican assertion Of
two years ago to the effect that if the dem
ocrats were successful the Government
would be pIundered.

THE CONNECTICUT people have just shot
and hanged a man for outraging little
girl. Few people will blame them for re-
sorting to lynch law in such case. But,
unlike the lynchers in the South and West'
instead Of having the manliness to acknowl-
edge their deed. they disavow 1t, and At
tempt to have It appear that the wretch
took his own life.

THE HEAVY rains of this summer have
done great deal of effective scavenger's
work; but in order that the town may re-
tain its health, each householder, during the
remainder of the hot weather, should see
that his or her own premises be kept thor
oughly clean. A little cleaning and lining
now will be much cheaper than doctors
aud anotbecaries' bills later in the season.

Plenty OF Newspapers.

Montevideo, the capital of Uruguay,
with a population Of $4,000, has twenty
three daily newspapers. more than any
other city in the world-three times as
many as London, and nearly twice as
many as New York. Bnenos Ayres, the
capital Of the Argentine Republic, across
the Rio lie Ia Plata. has twenty-one daily
papers for population Of 4cO, 00o. Other
cities in South America are equally
blessed, except those Of Ecuador, Bolivia,
and Paraguay, in which 10 daily news
papers are published. The South Ameri-
can papers are not issued SO much for the
dissemination of news rs the propagation
of ideas. They give about sir columns OF
editorial to one OF intelligence, publish all
sorts Of communications on political sub
jects, furnish q story in each isaue, and
often run history and biography as serials.
Que frequently takes up q daily paper,
and finds in it everything but news, SO
that last weeks issue is just as good read
ing AS yesterdays.
The principal reason and necessity for
having SO many newspapers is that every
public man requires an organ, in order to
get his views before the people, and the
editors are ordinarily politicians or public
lists who devote their entire time TO the
discussion of political questions, and ex-
pect the party or faction to which they
belong to furnish them the means Of living
while they are SO employed. Each OF
the papers has a director, who holds the
relation OF editor-in-chief, and Il sub-editor,
who is q man of all work, edits copy looks
after the news, reads proof, and stays
around the place to see Tint the printers
are kept busy. There is never d staff OF
editors or reporters RS in the United
States, and seldom more than The two
r1en. THE Director usually has some other
occupation. lie may be a lawyer, or a
Judge. or Il member OF Congress, and he
expects his political syn,pathizers to assist
him in furnishing editorials.

rhe greyhound of the Sea.

The owners of foreign steamship lines
running to New York are generally losing
money. They were induced by competition
among themselves to build very large and
swift vessels, which used up immense
quantities of coal. The Un1bria and Etruria
have length of $40 feet and breadth of 81
feets inches. The depths Al feet. These,
other steamers somewhat smaller, make
wonderfully swift voyages, but there have
not been so many passengers recently as
in former years, and, the expense being
greater, the stockholders have to go without
dividends The City Of Oregon has made
thequickest' passage out and horne, which
occupied IL days hours and 10 minutes,
an average of 18 1-2 knots an hour, or PA
statute miles an hour. The Etruria has
steamed 2O.233 knots an hour, This was ex-
actly "a statute miles an hour. It is not
likely that for some years to come this will
be surpassed in ocean traffic. Had these
"Greyhounds of the Sea- been profitable,
the competition would have been continued,
and the time between New York and
Liverpool probably reduced to five days.

had seen other successful efforts in the
same direction. The worl1ingfnen
should do away with the lniddlen1eI
and save these profits TO themselves.
In running such an institution he
would favor employing competent

G. A. Lafayette brought up ths CUES
tion OF tbs future Of the labor lyceun.

called by q clergyman to discuss the
Labor question from g moral view. and
were for the purpose ofdiscussing prac-
