4 Young AmcrlCAn'S Extravaganza,
Tho thrifty peasantry Of Switzerland have
grateful reason to remember the royal pro-
gress that Charles Phalen made through
their country some years ago. The young
man was the only son OF his father, and had
unlimited spending money. He visited the
little mountain republic with magnificent
equipage and numerous servants, and at each
hamlet where he stopped created very
agreeable sensation. Beer and wine were
ordered served to every one at his expense,
dances filled tho village green with buxom
maidens, nnd dowerios were given by the
visiting master Of ceremonies to tho hand
soonest and most deserving brides. His lavish
Christmas and Easter entertainments were
participated in by entire cantons, and his ex-
penditures continued until his father caused
him to be confined in an asylum for inebri-
ates and the insane. On the death Of Mr..
Phalen, Sr, tho sons portion of tho estate
was tied up in such Il manner that he could
only receive the income without touching the
principal. Young Phalen brought suit to
have the will set aside and his share of the
fortune given him outright. His prayer was
denied recently by New York surrogate,
and tho heir will have to content himself
with less costly pastimes than those in which
he formerly indulged.

The most wonderful blind man of modern
times, probably, was Nicholas SaInderson,
born iii Yorkshire in 1859. At year old he
lost his sight by smallpox, yet early i'll life
he mastered Greek, Latin, algebra and ge-
ometry. He taught mathematics and optics
at Cambridge and perfected "Mcthod of
Fluxons." His skill in antiquaries was great,
aud ty touching coin with his tongue lie
could declare its era and national coinage.

Censorship of the Press,

Under the lottery law framed by con-
gress and the instructions given by the
postmaster general to his subordinates
throughout the country, there is serious
danger of encroachments on the liberty
of the press that should be rebuked and
opposed by the newspapers of the country
without regard to party lines.
These postmasters are instructed to act
as censors and inspect all second-class
matter, and whenever the postmaster
finds, what he considers unlawful matter,
or even suspects that articles are OF that
character, he is authorized to suppress
the publication and refuse it passage
through the mails.
This dangerous innovation is claimed
under the specious pretext of suppress
ing lottery advertisements, and so far
the public seems to acquiesce without
protest against this new assumption of
power. Ii this step meets with popular
favor, then the next move will be to eX-
anime tirst-class matter, breaking the
seals OF letters in search of contraband
publications or writings. If that be
accomplished, then we will rapidly for
get the Louisiana state lottery in the
multitude of grounds upon which these
postmasters can act as censors OF the
press and people, Lexington, KY,
