Theiv confidence in our newspaper judgment is one of the most touching things ] we know of. In one breath they assert that j “the Hebaed is bound to break,” “it can't stand it,” etc., and in the very nest they slash right in with an admiration that is truly won derful (an infatuation, you may say), and do the very tiling that they have so often asserted was going to break ns. of Mr. .las.

If they only sell 1,000 they claim the right to dis tribute only one-fifth of the presents. The Herald, on the ether hand, will distribute every present it has offered.

Warlick, whose prudent boast is that he never did anything for money in his life. He holds tha' to work for money is essentially low and v. lgar, ond he sits back at hi3 ease and drawe interest on the money which his nceetors Lave hoarded up hundreds of years ago. He always creates a stir when he ap pears upon the street in his gorgeous landou, and 1 has nctriders to lay velvet carpets for him when he wishes to step from his car riage to the sidewalk. One of the merriest jokes that Mr. Warlick has is to allude to a certain Warlick upon Marietta “as his cousin,” when it is known that this Warlick, though now very well off, was formally nothing but a common workman. These three men cannot possibly be elect ed. The “wool hat boys” can’t stand them. Ana when it is considered that there is on the ticket, besides these, that unconscionable capitalist, D. A. Beattie, who is going to change his name because there is another party of the 6ame namo who has some con nection with a stock yard ; and those rich and haughty wags, Owen Lynch and Bob Farrar, who, though they were born im mensely wealthy, go to two railroad offices and work like galley slaves from six in the morning till nine at night on moderate sala ries, just for the fan of the thing, we can't see how it is possible for it to get a dozen votes in the city, aive from the very rankest rristocrats. It roust be changed, and that qnick ; onr wool hat protests againet it. I noticed with some interest what your cor respondent had to say in one of your recent numbers, in regard to the course which the Secretary of the State Senate ha3 seen proper to pursue in holding over. Clearly it must be thought by every onc not exactly seemly for Mr Cabiness to bold tbe offices cf Secre tary of the Senate and Solicitor General of the Flint Circuit at the same time. The same objection which obtains in his case, applies to tho case of his two assistants both of whom, I understand, have been appointed to solicitorships. Let it be nnderstood that we make no unkind allusions to either of these gentlemen, for we feel for them tho greatest respect and kindness—but we only intend to say, that in our judgment, their resignation of their posts as officers of tbe Senate, should have fallen immediately upon the acceptance of their present positions. This would have been right and generous so far as others were concerned, and have avoided all appearance of monopoly.

Boarbouize of Baris is the inventor of an in geniously constructed instrument, called the galvanometer balance, which is said to com bine with s perfect sensitiveness the most remarkable accuracy. In this instrument tbe magnetic needle is replaced by a magnetic bar oscillating inside tbe multiplier frame, tbe spires of which are horizontal. A current passing through the multiplier deviates the magnetic bar in tbe same manner as tbe lever of a balance wonld be affected nnder the influence of an unequal load in one of the scales; and farther, as in ordinary balances, the magnetic bar carries at tbe centre a needle which passes over n graduated sector, allowing thus a means of ascertaining the extent of tbe deviation. Tbe lower end of tbo needle has a screw thread cut upon it, and carries two email ad justable weights. A second rod, perpendicu lar to the first, also carries two small weights, arranged on each side of the axis of suspen sion. By moving these masses, the magnetic bar will be placed horizontal; tho influence of the earth being opposed by tho moment of the weight of the lever at a sufficient dis tance of the axis of suspension. These weights also allow of a sufficient displace ment being given them, so as to vanr the di rection of the general resultant of the forces which act upon tbe system, and thus regu late tbe sensibility of the apparatus by making this direction pass as near as possible the direction.

But during a two hours' walk in the streets of Loudon, within a half mile of Tralalgar square, about four o'clock in tbe afternoon, we parsed more than a dozen reeling drunkards, and in one case From tbe New York Tribuce. In my checkered life I have been a private soldier, and between 1849 and 1850 I was in tbe County Cork, stutioued at Ballancholy. Those of you who are Irish'meu will want no description of that beautiful valley of the Lee which w inds between the hills from Cork, and in summer seems like a paradise, green grass growing to the water’s side, and richly burnished with gold in the morning, and rr.dtly to crimson in the evening sunset. I went there on a November day. I was one of a troop to protect the law officers, who had come with the agent from Dnblin to make an eviction a few miles from Inniscarra, where the river Bride joins the Lee. lt was a miserable day—rain freezing into sleet os it fell—and the men beat down wretched dwell ing after wretched dwelling—some thirty or forty perhaps. They did not take much beating down; there was r.o flooring to take up; the walls were more mud than aught else, and there was but little trouble in the levelling of them to tbe ground. We had got our work about three parts done when out of one of them a woman ran and flung herself on the ground, wet as it was, before the captain of the troop, and she asked that her house might be spared—not rbr long, bat tor a little while. 8ne said her hus band had been born in it, he was ill of the fever, but could not live long, and she asked that he might be permitted to die iu it Our captain had no power; thc law it right or even pretty in him to do so under “'—b - nu.lde.sed ’ey the idea ol trade, could. i; :eu _^ e ; ve .. better li:es.' evseiibeiis wil! t.eie u'.aev. tho circumstances?

So you see : even those who have been “educated” to the e things, graduates perhaps of j Wall street and the Stock Exchange, don't always know everything; .and sometimes most “ignorant” of what they are most assured—make mistakes? Your light remarks about patriotism and State pride are very natural. I believe they are ignored by some private backers and brokers, dealers in Government, State, municipal and railroad securities, etc. I therefore have nothing to say about that, as one’s profession, or, if you please, his “legiti mate ’ business depends in a great degree, if not entirely, on his “tastes, education” and natural proclivities.
