NEWS AND VOTES.

An eleven-inch steel shell costs the
navy department Sl35, making a full
sized eleven-inch bombardment an ex-
pensive matter. Modern diplomacy is
by several per cent. cheaper than is mod
ern warfare.
American railways kill but one out of
10 600 900 passengers carried. Unfor-
tnnately they sometimes do killing for
l 900 900 200 passengers in one accident,
which makes the casualties seem greater
in number and more shocking.
An authority upon provisions estimates
that half pound OF butter q week Is q
good allowance for each person: half a
pound of coffee a week and a pound and
quarter of sugar for each person make
liberal allowances. Families are apt to
differ in these respects.
The Russians are increasing the use of
naphtha refuse as fuel. Manufacturers
and railways are adopting it, and it is
even used for domestic purposes in stoves
specially constructed for it. It is 80 per
cent. cheaper than wood or coal and oc-
cupies much less space in storage.
The American telegraph and telephone

York, Boston, Philadelphia and Wash

not require a skilled mechanic to super
intend it. The cost is less than with
horses, steam or electricity.

THE INFLUENCES or SLAVERY.
THE GAZETTE believes that the aboli-
ton of slavery was an unmixed blessing
to every citizen of every state in the
American Union. Looking back over
the reconstruction period, the riotous
waste Of the negro and carpet-ba rule,
the suffering and travail through which
the Southern people were compelled to
pass; regarding the presentsand gazing
upon the future with the ap-
prehension with which every thoughtful
mind must be filed; loving the South
with all the passion that patriotism could
inspire or fervid nature kindle-hold-
ing to the Southern people in esteem and
veneration that are almost idolatrous-
THE GAZETTE would not willingly see
them return to that condition i'll which the
spring of 1861 found them. But, while we
of the South believe that slavery was

A HIGHLY interesting experience is ad-
ded to the possibilities of pleasure in
European travel by the renewed activity
Of the Italian bandits. The first Ameri-
can who has had the privilege of enjoy
ing this novel sensation is Mrs. Bowler of
Cincinnati, widow of a nephew of Mr..
Pendleton, lately American minister at
Berlin. The lady is reported to have
been captured by some of King Hum
bert's subjects, but the accounts are pro-
vokingiy meager in details. Brigands in
some parts of Italy have habit OF de-
handing large ransom from a captive IS
friends. If the price is not promptly
paid they viii sometimes cut off one of
the victim IS ears and send it as sort of
dun; further delay is followed by the
loss of another ear, and occasionally the
wretches murder their prisoners. It will
readily be seen that the resumption of
the bandit business at the old stands in
Italy promises much more excitement to
ennuied tourists than can be expected
anywhere else, except possibly among
the Greeks.

Marion Harland has word to wives that
IS worth the needing. BY long expe-
renee and careful observation she has
qualified herself to speak for both, and
no word she utters is more significant
than when she says of wives that there is
often lamentable want of appreciation
shown by the wife of the requirement
tOiling man has for complete change
and rest, and that the best of wives cam
not understand what hunt or a fish
ing excursion is to man shut
up in counting room, or to
one whose head is constantly carrying
the intricate machinery of Il large bust
ness. To innocent recreation it is wise
that the wife make no objection when
her husband feels he can spare the time
to take it. The demands of man s ma
ture differ from those of woman, and of
that difference wise wife Will be mind
full.

there has so far been no better plan de-
vised than that of life insurance.

groes to accept them as representatives of their
race, and there win be afforded much material
for philosophic treatment Of the slavery ques-
ton. without raising any suspicion of an inten-
tion to re instate that institution.
The view of slavery. as a providential affair,
relieves the memory of Washington of odium,
1t takes shadow OF Jefferson, of whom Tom
Moore spitefulIy wrote that The dreamed of
freedom in a slaye's embrace - It regilds the
churches and colleges of New England, built
with the profits of the slave trade, and relieves
the memory of our ancestors of the charge that
they were mere brutal dealers in human flesh
with beneficent result following their practice
of chattel ownership of men which was Divinely
approved in the case of the Chosen People by
scriptures which orthodox Christianity teaches
were directly inspired in every line and letter.
No credit is claimed for anyone in the
whole matter of slavery by THE GAZETTE,
and none is due. From the landing of
the first African upon American soil until
the establishment of negro political SUI
premacy in the South by the force of
Federal bayonets, his destiny was shaped
by The selfshness of others. The whole
story but serves as an illustration Of the
truth of one of the maxims which the
immortal bard puts in the mouth of one
of his most noble dukes, that he who win
