bold policy on the part Of the government for
the settlement Of our difficulties with England
would be acceptable to the American people,
but they are not prepared to sacrifice their
commerce and the market for their produc-

facturers Of New England unless the honor Of
the nation be In question. This new idea Of
such stupendous scheme Of protection will
hardly take with the American people. In

A report of the trichinfan disease


comes from Illinois, where NUM-
Der offatal cases have occurred. This
disease has got terrible character,
partly from the Latin shape of the
name. and. no doubt, q good deal
from the Nature of the maggots: but
it Is, after all, thing that need not
be so dreadful: The best cure of it
is caloric--a good boiling of the pig
meat, to begin with. The disease is
an aggravated form of the n1edstes,
to which pork was always subject,
and, in alf cases, those affected have
been eating the meat raw in the shape
of sausage or smoked bacon. Beef
and other meats may probably be
safely eaten in that condition but
your pig is an animal that should al

way before people use it as an. ali

There was something infinitely pathetic in
the picture of poor LeatherstOcking, his rifle
on his shoulder plunging into the wilderness,
never to return. But he was right. His in
stinct was a true one. If he had stayed till
the town finished growing up how out of
place he would have been. Civilization hires
her pioneers by the day, provides no asylums
for them, and is often ashamed of them be-
fore she contrives to push them along out of
sight.


We can fancy Leatllerstocking's struggles,
before he fully resolves to go. The very earth
is dear to his feet. Sunsets will not he as
beautiful from any other hills; he will thirst
with endless thirst for water from that spring.
If the boys he has taught and trained are to

in the ground within ten miles of his cabin.
He knows best where streets should cross and
public buildings stand. How clearly he pictures

The horrible scene in the Bowcry Theater
during a performance prOtracted into yester-
day morning in which an actress was attacked
by one of her performing lions, ought to have
the desirable effect of banishing such savageTy
from the stage. The employment of wild
beasts and the like, beside exposing both
actors and audience to great physical danger,
is debasing morally. In this case, more by
good fortune than anything else, no lives were
lost during the panic which the incident
created but when the lion next chooses to
fasten his fangs in the throat of his mistress
the result may be different.

The Anniversary Week being over in Boston,
the newspapers report that the short season
has been rather dull one, Notwithstanding
the unusually considerate behavior of the
weather. The old enthusiasm which once
marked these annual gatherings has, for
some sufficient reason, disappeared; and what
that reason is can only be cOnjectured. Pos
sibly it may be found in kind of safety ex-
perienced by those who have so long listened
to the same sort of speeches; have attended
the ea-drinkings of which one is exactly like
another and have been compelled to swallow
more annual reports, mostly briStling with
figures, than they could digest. A good steady
going charitable cause hardly needs jubilee
to keep it moving; and there is no great ques-
ton of moral reform which is at present agi-
tating even New England, the fruitful parent

two, who now are almost certain of

beaten, and by one so unexpectedly in
their way, that they will recover from

one single progressive step through the public spirit of

peculiarly private nature pointing solely to the benefit
of some individual No interest whatever is manifest
ed by our more intelligent and capable citizens in the
municipal affairs, and the meagre interest now
felt sought to be diminished by reducing the salary
OF the Mayor to nominal sum- and making him merely
parliamentary officer, and thus letting the city rely
tor an efficient officer solely on some eminent gentle
mans corporation patriotism-whch phase of the
sentiment we believe TO be attributable to that
noble organ OF the human family, the pocket than
any other, and what is worse, the pockets OF very
small men. We know of no law of statecraft more
inexorabe in its practical operations than that efficacy
and ability in officer must be paid for. Their salaries
should be the very last expense to be reduced in favor
of rerencbment If the Mayor does his duty in citv

PROsTITUTIoN.-The Westminster Review, for Jan

and common sense.


1t is difficult question: we would suppose, for
government to attempt to control by force and the
cessarly accompanying application of punishment
The long catalogue of crimes presents no one more
degrading to conception than that of mercenary
prostitution We say mercenary, because we believe
that any other kind is of occurrence. Whatever
may be the nature Of its beginning; when the novelty
Of indulgence and the heat and flame of the distemp
er shall have away ayarice usurps the place of
passion and the victim of her depraved nature,
or of mans serpent wiles falls still lower in the scale
of humanity, and is left without argument Of apology
or paation. We have faith in the efficacy of moral
suasion and Magdelen societies We have faith in the
teachings and examples of the virtuous. When these
influences fail of the accomplishment of reformation
ali others will prove vain and futile The selfsame in
fnence that would work a reformation would lead the
young and unsuspecting into paths Of innoceRce and
virtue. We see the effects of the removal of whole
some restraints in the emancipation of the coored wo-
men. Our streets and police records afford too
gIarng evidences of the truth that prostitution is run
ming riot in our midst and is especially observable in
that class Of population who have lost the authoritative
admontons and rebukes of mistress, virtuous her
self and soctous protect the virtue of those around
her, although her interiors and her slaves.
