The newspaper is the product of vast labor
and thought And yet, when you are face to
face with it. and it talks in snch an easy.natur®
way.making itself completely at home with you,
you are prone to forget at what cost it lias been
brought into life. It conies to you so quietly
and so smoothly, that yon may well be pardon
ed for tripping into the delusion that it springs
into voice and being something like Minerva

Mr. Walker, of the Produce Exchange, speak

‘‘These he considered would be thought the St.

be reduced, as the roates are improved. The
tonnage most be greatly increased during the
century. Since 1837, the canals had transport
ed over $7,000,000,000 worth of property, pro
ducing a revenue sufficient to pay for themselves,
bo that now they stand as having cost nothing,
together with having given the people the ben
efit of all that trade. The tonnage of the canals
for twenty-three years had been more than doub
le the tonnage of all the vessels entering the
pert of New York. The present outside capac
ity for the removal of tonnage Eastward was 4,
000,000 tons an finally.**

It is now definitely settled that the telegraph
wires in Germany are no longer to be affixed to
polos in tlw> open air, but are to be buried in
underground tubes. The lines on which the
principle is to be first introduced are those re
quiring a large number of wires ; and those first
on the roll are the line fr<*m Berlin to the Rhine
which branches to Mainz and Fmnkfort-on-tht-
Main ; the line from R rlin to Breslau, Posen
and Thorn : Berlin to Hamburg ; and Berlin to
Hanover and Bremen.
The October number of Demorest’s Monthly

Grange business.—The Executive Commit
toe ot the State Grange . I Georgia met in Atlan
ta T\itsdaj* on very inportant business. They
met to decide what offers they would accept, ns
made by merchants lor furnishing supplies, gu
anos. machinery, to tho various Granges or the
members thereof.
Offers amounting to several hundred in num
ber, and coming from all parts of the United
States, from merchants of high standing, have
been made in response to the Circular publish

offers are lUO percent, below the prices now

tract ot Jay Cooke A Cos., with the Novthan Pa

of. They agreed, further to pay interest annu
ally to the road, the amount of the interest on
remaining in their hands unsold, and this inter
est was to be considered as iiu advance payment
on the bonds. On the first of September last,
the interest due to the road by Jay Cooke A Cos.,
was over $3,000,000, and there was in tlui
hands at b ast $40,000,000 or $50,000,000 un

Additional Premiums.- From the following
communication it will be seen that, two ad

Registered Letters, the Third Assistant
Pos.master General is making arrangements to
secure better protection to registered letters in
their transmission through the mails. At pres
ent the railway postal clerks are obliged to re
c ip. lor each package, and the regist* red letters
are often mixed with other mail matter. It is
now proposed to forward all through registered
matter in separate registered pouches,with a sep
arate lock, to which only the postmasters anil
distributing officers will have keys. The postal
clerks will then be required to receipt only for
tl e registered pouch. It is expected thut the
danger of loss will be less by this new system.
Two thousand special registered pouches have
just been ordered. The receipts for registered
letters the last fiscal y ary* re $225,000, yielding
anew revenue to the government of $85,000.
There is a great deal of talk as to the cause of
the panic. High financial authority gives it thus:
During the l ist four years we have undertaken
to construct and equip twenty-five thousand
miles of railroads, involving an outlay of nearly j
$6,000,000,000, of which a considerable part
cannot lor years bring in any return. So long
as money owners were willing to buy bonds and
stocks, these enterprises sailed on a smooth sea.
The expenditures of to-day were met by receipts
of to-day, but when the uprising of the farmers
of the West, and other signs of dissatisfaction
with the management of corporations begot a
little distrust, the receips of the more doubtful
schemes foiled to come in ; th*ir treasuries were
depleted, and their bankers, who have gone out
side of their legitimate business to eimoree their
securities, have gone by (he board. This is the
whole istory of the financial crash of September,
1873.
Cheap Transportation. —The subject oi
cheaper transportation for the West is now en
gaging much at tention in the commercial circles
of New York city. Though there is a proposi
tion to add more tracks to the Erie Railroad,
the better op nion seems to be that New York
can only obtain cheaper freights by improved
wate lines. Ol these only two are presented as
available. One is the enlargement of the F.rie
Canal and freeing it from tolls ; and the other is
the adoption of the Canadian route of which we
have heretofore spoken. This rout contem
plates the connection of the upper hikes with
Lake Ontario by means of the Well *nd Canal in
Canada (now iu use, but said to need enlarge
ment), then the use of St. Lawrence river and
Lake Champlain, and a short canal connecting
Lake Champlain with the Hudson river. This
would be as short a water line to New York city
from the States west of Ohio as the Erie Canal
route, and would not have so much cansliing,
and probably not so many locks. The Sen
ate’s Committee on Transportation is now in
Montreal to examine this Canadian route and to
report what arrangements can bo made for free
transportation by it.— Col. Sun .

The “Brown Extra Cotton Gin” is favorably
knowrfin all parts of the cotton growing country.
The agents of this Gin sold upwards of Six
Hundred to the planters of the South, during
the past season. It possesses the maximum of
all the desirable qualities, without being compli
cated by any of the so-called improvements,
such us condensers, needle-teeth, card-cyJinder,
and extra brushes. It is simple, durable, well
made of good materials, light running, and is
unrivalled in the quantify and beauty oi the sta
ple produced. Possessing thes-, and many oth
er advantages, if has been received with greater
favor, even than in former years,when, as now,
it was a general favorite at the South. It is
made with a strong iron frame, combining
strength and durability. For perfect finish,
simplicity, fast and clean ginning, light draft,
and npJno'ity oi lint, it is without a rival.
To suit the preferences oi a portion of the
trade, some oi tho Gin* are made with wooden
irarnes of white ash, and are very strong ami
substantial; otherwise the Gins are the same as
those with iron frames, and are furnished at the
same price. When an order is sent it will be
necessary to name the kind want* and.
