The Ocean No Longer Tackles.

l1olutfiWtitc NcObtdpuASaA hhboNihOsj
We speak of the ocean as '.trackless."
1t is SO no longer; II two vessels sail from
New York for Calcutta. they viii. if intel
ligentIy navigated, follow S. nearly the
same course that their paSns. II plot
ted on chart, will hardly d.
verge by fifty miles at any point: The
same is true of every other route. Let US
consider the case of vessel sound to New
York from Liverpool. Her captain might,
if prepared for q constant battle against
adverse winds and currents and winter
gales, select route notvery different from
that followed by ocean steamers between
those ports. Otherwise he would follow
the southern route laid down by the sail
ing directors, and after ,oeatlng to the
westward few hundred miles to make
sure OF clearing the coast Of Spain would
shape course TO the southwark. passing
as far west of Madeira as the westerly
winds of these ATTITUDES will permit. Be-
tween Madeira and the CanarIes. but q
few hundred miles to the westward OF
both. he would fan his way across the
battling "Calms of Cancer" and pick up
and freshening every mile he would
sweep down to the south and
west, and when we'll over toward the
West Indies haul up to the north
ward toward Bermuda. Here he would
have to work again across the Gains OF
Cancer, and then, with the uncertain but
probably westerly winds of our Atlantic
coast, and with the gulf stream in his favor,
he would stand on and make his port,
having sailed 4, 500 miles between two ports
less than 5000 miles apart. but with winds
and current almost uniformly favorable
and with fine and bracing weather.

Newspaper Publicity for Frauds.

After all that has been published on the
subject it is simply astounding how any
man VINO is not an idiot can be trapped
by the New York green-goods" adver-
Users. Yet there are hundreds of such
stupidly credulous people, and some OF
them are men of high standing in the
communities in which they reside who
are nevertheless willing to make pur-
chases of counterfeit money and palm 1t
off as genuine on their unsuspecting
neighbors.
II is true that the scheme of the New
York advertisers is to get greenhorn's
money and send him away with nothing
but a package of sawdust, but this makes
the greenhorn's intent none the less crimi-
nal; none the less reprehensible.
The New York police have recently
adopted the drastic plan of meeting many
of these would-be purchasers upon their
arrival in chat city and sending them back
home with a warning. Then the facts and
names are given to the press, and the green
horn is published in all OF the papers OF
the country. If this does not break up the
business of selling sawdust packages fol

A Warning.

The sad accident of Thursday last on o
Franklin-street car was, as appeared from
the notice of it in our issue OF the next
morning, the fault or misfortune OF the
man who attempted to board the car
whilst il was in motion. Nevertheless
that accident would not have happened If
the street car company had adhered to the
rule of allowing the passengers to get on
and off the cars only by way OF the rear
platform. If the passenger had attempted
10 board the car in the rear and lost his
footing the car would have gone of and
left him lying unhurt on the street-7possi-
bly with scratch or a little bruise upon
him. It is scarcely possible for person
to be dangerously hurt by the cars who
tries to board them in the rear. 1t Is
surely no hardship to have to keep the
front door closed. In cold or even cool
weather the opening of it causes draft
through the car which strikes terror to
the man Of weak lungs. the woman in bad
health, and aged or infrm persons OF both
sexes. There is no considerable draft
when only the rear door is opened. 1t is
when the robust conductor (out in all
weathers and hardeneO opens the front
door aud stands in it dcfying the cold
blasts. as AJAX defed the lightning. that
the passenger riding for the benefit of his
health begins to realize that he takes bic
| life in his hands when he faces the stream
Of cold air which the conductor (thought-
lessly, not purposely) turns loose upon
him whenever on cold day he spreads
open both doors Of his car.
However this latter matter may be dis
posed OF, the former ought not to be
| neglected for even day. Require pas.
sehgers TO board the car in the rear. and
no more of them viii be killed or even
seriously injured in doing so.

The Chilean News.

The republic of Chile yesterday inaugu-
rated its new President. Admiral JORGE
MoSrT. and 1t Is to be hoped also inaugu-
rated wise and conciliatory policy for
dealing both with its own refractory sub
jects and, with foreign nations.
Indeed. we are told that this is the fact,
that most Of the adherents of BALNA-
oypA will be amnestied and that the cor
respondence with the United Stateo will
probably be brought to friendly conclu-
sion.
No doubt politics have had great deal
to do with the surly course OF the Chilean
government in dealing with the United
States. No doubt, also, the Chilean news
papers In their discussion of the matter
have made all that they could out of the
position of our Federal Government with
reference to the New Orleans lynchings,
and they may honestly think that what is
sau.e for the goose should be sauce for
the gander. But Mr.. BLAINE can probably
point out to them that the cases are
different. though it seems well un-
derstood that the Administration is going

for the outrages perpetrated upon our sail.
ors. There would be more unanimity
about this if there was no doubt of Mr.
EGAS's wisdom and sagacity as Minister
but anyway there is unanimty enough.
Chile has only two or three millions OF
people. and though it Is said that they are
very plucky, 1t could not hope to discom-
fit US in war. This its statesmen must
see, and see also that peace is the best
policy.
At the Navy and State Departments at
Washington yesterday there were great at
tempts made to pooh-pooh the newspaper
accounts of alleged naval preparations fol
trouble with Chile. Possibly the news
paper men pooh-poohed the pooh-poohers.
The late Mr.. FLORENCE in the Mighty
Dollar ironically explained 10 millions Of
his countrymen that in private life the
deliberate and wilful mis.statement OF @
fact is lie; but that when diplomat
mis-states a fact for his country's sake,
then il is - something else.

One of our most esteemed correspond.
epts writes to US that the DISPATCH does
not seem to be keeping step with the age
when il enioins letter-writers to be brief,
and says that otherwise it cannot make
room for their communications. Evidently
he is not familiar with progressive jour-
nalism. Many Of the newspapers in cities
much larger than Richmond have stand
ing rule excluding from their columns all
"letters from the people" not signed with
the full names of the writers. In this way
they reduce the number Of applicants for
space. Ninety per cent. of the persons who
desire to express their views on public
questions wish to conceal their identity.
We always have room--if not we are will
inc to make it-for ne,cs, but we think that
we are not unreasonable when we ask
other correspondents to be brief. On q
recent date We had thirty columns of mis-
cellaneous matter-,postly letters from

of the most horrible crimes in all the an

home on the banks of tho Neuse river,

The burning was not discovered, now

strong circumstances pointing To one,
Weightman Thompson, white man or

perpetrator of the foul dead.

Pearsall himself was murderer, acquit-
ted some years ago on the plea OF alcohoiic
insanity. Thompson was also tried TOT the
murder of his wife some twelve years ago
and acquitted for lack OF sufficient evil
dence, the trial having been moved by the
defence to another court. Thompson sub
seauently courted Pearsalps wife. She re-

Thompson then swore vengeance. but
little weight was given to his words. de
and Pearsall were boon companions, and
had been to Goldsboro' together on Tues
day. They were drinking and left the city
together in the same cart. and II IS known
that Thompson went home with Pearsatl
that night. From the best evidence OBJ
tainable, it is presumed that the burning
was accomplished about IL O'Clock Tues
day night, and at about o'clock Thomp-
son put in an appearance at one OF the
lower bar-rooms of the city.

When he was arrested to-day it transpired
that ne had hid in the woods valise and

chased in one of the stores in this city

the clothes in another town, but they bore

clerk OF the store that sold them to

Christmas-day was a very quiet one here.
Many people Utilized the opportunity to
visit their old homes in other cities, and
the day, which was damp and foggy,
seemed like Sunday.
Business during the holidays thus far
IS excellent. Many merchants got rid OF
nearly their entire stock. No one is CON-
planning.
With the single exception of a row in
a sa DON in the lower portion OF the city,
by which an unknown man was knocked
down by gang of intoxicated men and
badly beaten, there was no disturbance OF
any kind.
Christmas tree entertainments took
place at most of the churches.
