Our Foreign News, Our Teiegrams and Oul


Special Correspondence.


Day after day we present in the columns o
the HERALD news sent by telegraph and by
mail in such amount and of such value as
defes comparison with anything now or at any
previous time existing in the shape of journal
istic literature. Our Abyssinian enterprise,
which at the time commanded the attention OF
the civilized world, has not yet and will not
soon be forgotten. 1t is only day or two
since We gave the American public, by special
telegram the opinions Of the London press on
Senator Summers speech the day after they
appeared in London. The American people
see and acknowledge the enterprise of q
journal which seeks to serve them, and to
serve them with the best, and that without
miserable and restraining regard to cost and
labor.


We call attention to a feature of the HERALD
OF yesterday. There was the usual telegraphc
intelligence from Europe and from all the
centres of population on this Continent Over
and above this We had special correspondence
from Reno station, from Chile, from Peru,
from Brazil, from st. Domingo, from Hayti,
from Jamaica, and from three different centres in
Australasia, Sydney, Melbourne and yelling
son. We published also very interesting cor
respondence from China. In addition to this
we published special correspondence from
Paris, from Madrid, from Berlin, from Pesth,
from Constantinople and from Cork. All this,
too, aside from an interesting and well Sc
lectcd abstract of general European news.


If newspaper means anything il means
chat those who read it should get news. It is
our object to give our readers news, and news
in a cosmopolitan city like New York means
the news of the world. The reader of the
HERALD Of yesterday morning learned almost
all that could be learned of the present
condition and immediate prospects of the
Pacific Railroad, one of the greatest Won
ders OF modern times; found out almost
all that was worth finding out about
Australasia, where many of them have friends,
an6where the gold mania is likely 10 receive
fresh impulse from The discovery of the big
gest nugget ever yet found; about Brazil,
where much difficulty must he encountered and
overcome before monarchy can be firmly
established on this Continents about the West
Indian Islands, which can never be at rest
until they form part of the great republic;
and about China, one Of the greatest centres
of the worlds life, just opening its eyes to the
new civilization, and about the internal affairs
and foreign relations Of almost every country
in Europe.


IL ls not too much to say that no existing
journal in any part of the world can spread
before its readers so rich aud 80 varied q rcpast
in the shape Of foreign news 1t is but truth
to add that such repast is not unfrequently
found by the HEIALD's million readers.

torily. II is our conviction that every letter
which reaches the old Dutch church before
seven A. M. can be sent out by nine o'clock
and that by ten A. NJ every letter by the
morning mails for city delivery can be de-


spatched from the General Post Office; yet
careful inquiry leads us to the belief that this
is not done. We particularly believe this to
be the case with some of the minor foreign
mails, in which we have frequently known
letters not to reach point of delivery south
OF Grand street under thirty hours after the
arrival OF the steamer at her dock.


: Such a state of things in the city delivery
department does not conduce to the making of
1t scif-supportng. That can be attained only
by making the two cent city despatch portion
of the system prompt and efficient public SER
vice. That it is now very far from being done.
1t is a perfect mockery to say that note can be
sent to auy portion of our city by the city post
and reply looked for on the same day; yet
in European cities the reply within few hours
is the unfailing result. When such state of
things is attained here our city delivery will
be self-sustaining, AMI no preaching circulars
will ever make our people recur to it for their
city business, as is done elsewhere, until the
Rip Van Winkle in charge wakes up. What is
wanted is less attention to politics and more
attention to business. We call upon Post
master Jones to make searching inquiry into
this matter and find out where the fault lies,
and whose are the shortcomings, and if he
cannot get Yankees to run city delivery sys-
tenn rs efficiently as John Bull does we re-
commend him to send across the water and get
some of the s'blarsted" Britishers to do 1t for
us.

Almost every acre of land on or near it, is good for something. Coal is abun- dant, timber S plenty, mineral deposits are by no means scarce, water is plenty, and the climate of the entire route is all that could be desired.

He knows that it is the earnest desire of large major ity of our people to have mail service placed on the route from Prescott to Albuquerque, but we have not learned that he has made a solitary effort to have it itestablished. Indeed. we have an idea that he would like to see this town deprived of all mail facilities, and we are not quite certain but that he gave countenance to certain scheme, started in Washington short time ago, to have all of Northern Arizona served with mail from the Gila route. His motto seems to be, Every thing for Tucson and nothing for the balance of the Territory.

No young lady can be two well in
structed in any thing which will affect
the comfort of a family. Whatever pO-
sitiOn in society she occupies, she needs
a practical knowledge of household du-
ties. She many be placed in such cir
cumstances that it will not be necessary
for her to perform much domestic labor;
but on this account she needs no less
knowledge than if she was obliged to
preside personally over the cooking
stove and pantry. Indeed, I have
thought it was more difficult to direct
Others, and requires more experience,
than to do the same work with our own
hands.


Mothers are frequently so nice and
particular that they do not like to give
up any part of the care to their children.
This is a great mistake in their manage
ment for they are often burdened with
labor and need relief. Children should
be early taught to make themselves use
full to assist their parents every way in
their power, and to consider it a privil-
ege to do so.

pOrtanCe Of a thorough knowledge of
hOusewifery: but those who have suffer-

Children should be early INDUCED in
their disposition to bake and experiment
in various ways. 1t is often buta trOub-
lesOme help that they affOred; still it is
great advantage to them. I know a
little girl who at nine years old made a
loaf of bread every week during the WIN
ter. Her mother taught her how much
yeast, salt and flour to use, and she be-
came quite an expert baker. Whenever
she is disposed to try her skill in making
simple cakes or pies she is permitted to
do so. She is thus, while amusing her.
self, Tearing an important lesson. Her
mother calls her, her little hOuse-keeper
and often permits her to get what is nee
essary for the table. She hangs the KEYS
by her sides, andveTy musical is the jing-
ling to her ears. think before she is
out of her teens, upon which she has
not yet entered, that she will have some
idea how to cook.


Some mothers give their daughters the
care Of housekeeping, each a week by
turns. 1t seems to be a good arrange
ment and most useful part of their ed
ucatiOn. Domestic labor is bynO means
incompatible with the highest degree OF
refinement and mental culture. Many
of the most elegant, accomplished wO.

their household duties, and have honor

doing.

Marriages can only take place between
persons Of the same rank in life, and
sometimes it happens that there is only
one family OF peculiar class residing in
q town. y partner must then be found
for any of the manageable SONS and
daughters i'll some other locality. Thus
if the Governor at Nagasaka has grown
up children he must form alliances for
them among the children of equal rank,
and as there is no one near whose pos
itiOn issimilar to his own, an eligible par
ty or parties have to be sought for at dis
tance. Marriages generally take place
at an early age. When a youth has
seen a maiden whom he ewishes to make
his wife he plucks a branch from a shrub

and the lover knows his suit is rejected


without being subjected to the Disagree
ableneSS of q verbal REFUSAL if on the
contrary, she is willing to become his
bride, she blaCkens her teeth, and then
prOclaims her engagement. Such an cv-
idGnt sign of betrOthal prevents any 9TH

ing his suit To a lady whose promise has
been already given. Friends of both
