D. Stone, Esq. Bat unfortunately for tbe girls, he’s a Ben edict. We alao had a moat weloome visit from our old-time friend. Dr. E. J. Eldridge, of Ameri cas Tbe sight of bi* rotund person and eomely, genial pbir. oarrled us pleasantly back to a jolly winter spent years tgo In a Northern eity—bow many we shall not sty, a* E'.drldge aluays was sensitive on that subject. A trzw German steamship oompany, plying between New Yotk and Hambnrg, and railing at porta on the channel In England and France, Is abont beginning it* trar.aatlantlo voyages. It will be known as the "E igle Line," and ten millions of dollars oapltal are invested In it. Eight new stoamers are bnilt and building for It, thoir capacity rangirg In tbe neighborhood of tblrty-flvo hundred tons eaob. They are to bear lbs names of tbo great German writers, Goetha, Schiller, Herder. Kiopstoek, Leasing, Wieland, Golleit and Kornor.

UbpxotttxsLY Dzcldt* the Tair.—The Graphic prints letters from B. F. Butler, Charles A. Dana, George W. Ohilds and Gen. Georgy B. McClellan in response to an invita tion to take passage forEarope in their balloon, reapeolfnlly declining to make the trip. Taey are very tbankfal for the invitation, of coarse; bnt quite too bnsj—can’t spare the time, by any means—can't avail themselves of “the prisSege " Now it is a real pity that Bsn Bat ter shoald be too busy to go on that trip. A large part of Massachusetts will regret it. It would be easy in that State to make np a parse to oompensst© Bntler for time Iofct on tho voy age, and particularly for failure to get back. Tbe Graphic oonld be vei/ liberal in its invita tions with entire safety. A Bid Sion —It is esid that the inscription M for sale,'* or “for rent, 1 * la posted on more than six thousand hoo*e* aud atoree in New Orleans. Tne people of New Orleans acd of Louisiana have been too busy for the last seven or eight years with their party politics and their quarrels and flghN over the public plun der to pay much attention to any other busi ness. Tbe ooneeqncne* is this < xtraordinarv increase of empty hons«*s and stores in the commercial metropolis of the State.—.Y. I. Herald. We expected better things of tbe Herald. This “bad sign" is not, as the Herald well knows, the result of “q-arrels and flghtA over the pnblio plunder" by the people. The only fight the people have ma.de is to keep them- salres from beirg plundered by the white thii'T *« and their binck barbarian allies of the Radical party. It is becar.se they have been worsted ia thiefight, that the “bad sign*’ is seen. Wbo believes that it ever would have been seen had Grant kept h‘s hands eff, and allowed them to reap tbo fruita of their well won viotory un der the leadership cf an boneat man, such as was McEnery. That was all that was needed to restore New Orleans and Loniaisna to a healthy condition, bat the thievea did not want any ouch contamination. They knew it meant rain for them, and so they called to Grant and be responded to their appeal* and turned them loot* again to plunder at will as before. With snch a government and such cffloials as the Federal administration has propped np in Louisiana on the point of its bayonet*—snth roguery, ruffianism, and wholesale corruption running riot, the wonder is that there are not twite six thousand booses “for rent ’ in New Orleans. What inducement ia there for a man to bay a stock of goods and rent a store when the this res steal ia that shape of illegal, crash ing taxes, one hundred per oent more than his profit* ? No wonder Grant postponed his booth- era trip last spring when snch ghests stood reedy to rise in hie path and ahow him the fruits of his wicked policy of Southern repression end Vo Hews* If no news Is good nttci, end ind.cates proa- perons times, the oonntry may boast a prosper ous condition just now. There U nothing to be found in tbe papers. Tbe great dailies of the North and West fill their ample spaoe with the’ tedions squabbles in France aud Spain—the dally crop of horrid murders, fires and acci dents, and goft'ip from tbe watering place*—s •tale and unprofitable hill of fare. It is • solemn fact lhat tbe American public don't rare s continental about Spain. No inter est otn be got np in 8panish affairs. France stands better—bnt France is adrift on s sea of chance, nonsense and chatter. Frauoe fa with out pnrpofe or policy. As for murder* tbe pnblio is surfeited with them. The daily snoper of horrors has palled tbe appetite. When we ocme to tbo springs— tbe tine once was, perhaps, when tbe attention of tbe oonntry could be arrested by tbe stun ning equipage of Cot Tom Higbfiyer and tbe rich laces, embroideries and robes of tbe divine Lilly Lillington, of Lilly Yale, bnt there's too much of it now s days. All the relish is lost In , the sbnndaoc© of the provisions, snd now tbe ungratefnl newspaper readers have utterly oeased to be oonvnl»*ed or even agitated on the question whether Miss Lilly or tbe widow Royall were more booomingly dressed at the last Sara toga or Long Branch Lop. The papers sndielegramshave ventured some sickly efforts to get np sninterest in races; bnt now that every cross-road has a race oonrse and tbe racing generally is very ind fferent, who cares who’her Tommy Noshes' b. zn Betsey nr OoL Jim Filbert's c. g. Brown Dick carries off the stakes. It is all utterly wretched, vulgar, oommon plac*, inconsequential and “no ac count." The papers, without exception, are doll and tiresome. There is nothing before the bouse or tbe oonntry. There's not an idea afloat of sufficient moment to arrest pnblio attention. Tbs most diligent bunt through a long list of exchanges discloses only that abhorrent thing in nature, a vacuum. Under these circumstances let ns turn to local topios. Let ns discuss the moral and material rarronndings. Let ns treat of corn and cater pillars—of rain and dronth—of bnds, bloEsoms and frait, and all the various ooncerns of homo, and let tbe ontaida world gang its sin gate. THE GEORGIA PRESS. Sow Turnips. The present dripping weather is rrost propi tious for securing good stands of this valuable winter crop, and should be improved by every farmer and gardener in the country. Aside from its importance as a pleasant esculent and anti- eoorbntio during tbe pork season, for the feed ing of stock, and its milk giving qualities, no better substitute for grain can be found. In England, tbe closest attention is bestowed to the rearing of turnips, and the yield per sere is most astonishing. Bone dust, snd the phosphates generally, Are extensively nsed, and seem better adapted than any other fertilizer to tbe production of root orope. One thousand bnshels is frequently tho produot of a single acre. The writer has reen over seven hundred bnshels of rutabagas taken from one acre on tbe sea coast of Georgia. This variety of tur nip is probably tbe most valuable, as well ss productive for this Iatitnde. Unlike tbe other species, it will continne to grow after a killing frost, and survive even the severest winter. Last spring the writer removed roots perfectly sound from his garden ss late as April. Ex treme spells of cold will bleach some of the leaves, bnt as soon as tbe weather moderates, new sprouts put forth immediately. The tops of tbe rutabaga are even superior as greens for cooking pnrposen, than the ordinary collard. In tbe spring, the roots can be taken np and stored In oellars, or banked like swoot potatoes. We have never known them in an experience of twenty-four continuous years, to go to seed in Georgia bnt onoe. This variety of tnrnips should be sown tbe latter part of Jnly or early in August, and always in drills. We have never seen them do well broad cast. Fair oropa may be made, however, even as late as September. Before planting, tbe soil should be properly eorichrd, and spaded np or plowed very deeply. Tbe beat stAnds are obtained when tbe gronnd is thrown into flat ridges two and a half feet apart, upon which after being made smooth and level with the hoe, the seed is deposited, and cov ered very shallow. This ensure? drainage, and prevents the packing of the earth upon the seeds in tho event of a heavy rain after sowing. Care shoald be taken also not to tnrn under just pre vious to sowing, any crop cf weeds or grass which may be growing upon the land, as its subsequent fermentation will destroy tbe young plants. The thinning preosss shoald begin very early, and be oontinaed from time to time nntil the plants stand abont eight or ten inches asunder in tbe rows. Missing plaoes may be supplied by transplanting, and indeed we have set out whole squat os in this manner, and realized at heavy crops as from tbe plants left in tbe orig inal beds. In cultivating, stir tbe earth fre quently, and jnst before tbe beginning of cold weather bill op the tnrnips so as to cover tbe tnbers completely, as a protection against sud den freezes. Should tbe plants not grow off read-ly, a top dressing of E. F. Coe's phosphate, or some other bone mannre, will aot like magio npon them. With anything like the nsna! supply of moisture In tbe fall months, the above directions, if faithfully followed, will ensure an abundant yield of this vegetable, which is so exoellent a concomitant of the poik and greasy diet of win ter. We trust onr planters will plant largely of tnrnips and bless their stars for doing so daring the ensuing winter. Whit's tbe SfAfter? With the mails, is a very pertinent qne9tion at present. We wonld really like some informa tion on the subject We would like to know, for instance, why it takes letters three days to go from Maoon to Washington, Wilksa conaty— a distance of not more than one hnndred miles, and why it takes.ifes days, as a rule, tar letters from Indian Spring to reach tbe same point (Washington). Tbe writer of this paragraph saw a letter—received in Maoon yesterday— that was mailed on the 28th of Jnly at Waahing- ton, and forwarded from Indian Spring to Ma con with the date. Jaly 24th, stamped npon it— four days before it teas iBritten! That rather beats Bannagher and suggests that there are spirits of some kied at work in the mailbags or poet effioes somewhere. If it is not an imperti nent question, we should like to ask the post master at this point if he knows the wbys and wherefores of this thusness, and if he can not apply a remedy ? So far, we have heard good accounts of his administration, but this looks like the machinery, cr some part of it, needed repairing or replacing. Simon Cameroa's Vow# Did the Charlestonians ever bear of Cameron’s crop of oorn in tbe streets of Charleston ? He says he mads one theie, and gets one of his Pennsylvania organs to tell the heroic story thn«: Simon Cameron, when Secretary of War in President Lincoln's Cabinet, made a vow to plant corn in the streets of Charleston. The fulfillment tbe LAncaeter (Pa.) Examiner gives in Mr. Cameron’s own words : “I did not for get that resolution, and when our troops gained possession of that eeditocs city I went there, planted the corn with my own hands in one of tbe streets, engaged a man to attend to it and cultivate it, and to this day I preserve tbe frait of that crop in my cabinet at home. I never hid any doubts as to tbe result of tbe straggle, nor had I any ecruplee abent using every proper means to accomplish that result in the shortest possible time.” Simon didn t tell this aneodote until h* beard recently of the farmers’ move ment. Now, we’il take onr davy that if Simon planted that oorn he never reaped a grain of it, and his oabinet store ia bogus. Txs Herald of Sunday states that Joe Jeffer son hsa hsd sn sttoek of psrslysif, snd that it is very doubtful if ha will be able to appear on tho stage st til tbo oomlng season. Da R L JEUdd;, of Forsyth, who baa been very ill for some weeks, is announced to bo in a more hopeful condition. We ohp tbe following from the last Monroe Advertiser: A Good Khoweio.—There has been fewer levies made fur the collections of ante-bellum debts in this oonnty, «noe the Sapreme Court of the I'aiud States declared tbe Homestead law txnconatitation&l, than in any oonnty in tbe State. Thia is a significant fact, demonstrating very olearly that our people are not only pros perous, but pay their debut. Old-tdc* Guiho.—An old negro woman at my plaoe says: *‘De way dey use to make ootton in my day was wid a plenty o’tick’ry. Duy didn't need no juanner den. And if yon will des gib me a few niggers and a good hick'xy now, I kin make any of dn land about here fetch good ootton, dat will beat any of your ju- aoner." Want doee her head lack of being level ? U. O Famsbo Monb'z County Rrinmcs—White polls 1,007; bl*ck poila 1.481; hands employed 2 (93; acre* of laod 277 081, va’ae thereof $1,380,549 ; town property $261,840; notes and money $414.041; merchandise $97,150; mills $52 655. Value of all the property in the oonnty $2.G26 - 403 The lncreaae in tne valuation of property smoe last fa’I amounts to $127,017. These etatittlica also show that there is a great disproportion between the cotton and oorn acreage in Monroe oonnty—greater than in any oonnty from which we have heard. Of cotton there ar* 36,842 acres; of oorn 23,012 acres. Mb. Rob car Campbell, probably the oldest citizen of Augusta, died in Clarksville lad San- day, aged 86 years. He had lived in Acgusta sinoe 1801, and had been one of the most prom inent and suoceaefal business men of that city. Tie Columbus Enquirer says it is very prob able the route by the Cbattahooobee river via Chattahoochee, Florida, and thence by rail to Jacksonville, will soon be reopened. Thx Snu has the following: Dxsobdebly Congrboation—A oolored couple raarched to tne front of the pnlpit in Aabnry Chapel Sunday night to be married. The oouple did not belong to the fancy and were dren-ed rather grot*sqnely. The assembled multitude of freed people received them with bursts of laughter. The pastor, Nobles, in vain tried to restore order, and to obtain it bad to dUmise tho congregation. So we are told by policemen. Large Ixvz-TMEtT —The four Bnilding and Loan AshocimUoia* in Columbus are now virtu ally carrying a half million of dollars for bor rowers. Tnis is perhaps more than the com bined capital of all the city banks. These Loan institutions have been great helps in the crea tion of bonses. Toey may wind np in seven years, and are compelled to do so in eight. ’Good Management.— The Savannah and Memphis Railroad, running only tweniy-eigth miles, on an average, las: year, has made run ning expenses, salaries, eta, sod cleared five hnndred dollars. Shows good management. The track hi now laid forty miles, and it is thought twenty-three more miles will be laid this year. The road ba? two engines and am pie rolling stock for present neeJs. ■ Mb. W. H. Waltlzb has taken charge of the editorial and bn*iness management of the Ringgold Courier. He evidently don't like In ternal Rsvenue ways, for he says “he had as soon undertake to keep up with a coon in tbe Chickamanga swamp, as to keep posted on tbe numberless rales of that institution.” The fine residence of Mrs. Jane Molder, of Stewart county, was bnrned last Tuesday, to gether with nearly all her furniture and clothing. Loss $4,000, and no insurance. Hon. Itebson L. Harms —We find tbe follow- lowing gratifying announcement in tbe last Union and Recorder: The pnblio will be gratified, throughout tbe State of Georgia, to learn that the distinguished jurist, nprignt citizen and geuial gentleman whose name Mind? at the head of this article has so far recovered his health as to drive ont npon onr streets and mingle with his old vi- vaoity in conversation with onr citizens. We trnst that bis health will oontinne to improve rapidly, and that he m»y ere long r<sume the Aotive duties of life, from wbioh he has been debarred for several months by disease. Judge Harris has for nearly half a oentury occupied h distinguished position before the public, and his fame is not oonflord to the limits of Georgia. It was rumored In Athens on Tnesday, that Chancellor Lipscomb, of the University, bad resigned that position, and that Prof. W. L. Bronn had been chosen to suooeed him. Prof. Frank Lipscomb, son of tbe Chanoeilor is dan gerously ill. Messrs. John B. Gordon, Y. L. G. Harris, of Athens, John Screven, of Savannah, and John 0. Katherford, of Decatar, have been eleoted Trustees to fi'l vacancies. About $5,000 worth of property was sold at sheriff's sale in Atlanta on Taesday to satisfy State and county tax fl foe. The Herald says as usual, “the Kimball house was sold to satisfy a tax fl. fa. issued by Collector Hoyle for taxes for 187L Itwasbidcff by Hon. B. H. Hill, for Joseph Thompson, Sr, and G. W. Adair, at four thousand dollars. Tnie house brings va rious prices—sometimes it sells as high as fif teen thonsani dollars, and then it drops to fonr or five, owing pretty tnnch to tbe state of the weather and the demand for that class of bnild- ings.” Bwpgp of A Maoon Yoluntezu —The Savan nah News, of Tuesday, has this item. . We observed yesterday in a magistrate's of- fioe, among numeroos other articles levied np on as the property of a party said to be a Northern man. for rent, a sergeant's sword. Tbe blade has inscribed on it “E. J. Johnson k. Co., Mecon Ga., M. V. 186i," npon the clasp of the belt are the initials “M. V.” A sturgeon jumped into a pilot boat off Ty- bee last Saturday and striking against a man therein knocked him down, severely spraining his ankle and breaking tbe knees of the boat. The man was thrown to the opposite aide of boat, and the water rushing fariously in, the sturgeon floated off. Thx Advertiser and Republican of Taesday says: A White Man Shot by a Xiobo.—Yesterday morning a tram filled with negro excursionists went down to station No. 3, Atlantic and Gulf road, to attend a camp-meeting or some other religions celebration down there. In the after noon tbe train retarning stopped some time at No. 3, where the negroes got out and strolled around. While at this place a difficulty ocourrcd between a negro, whose name onr informant did not know, and a white man nsmed J. W. Clark, tbe agent of the road, doing business there. In the oourse of the difficulty the negro drew a pistol and fired at Clark, the ball striking him in the groin and injuring him pretty badly. The negro then immediately disappeared, at least so it is assarted, and oonld not be fonnd any more. It is supposed he came on to Sa vannah with tbe train. Thx same paper, referring to a late letter in the Columbus Enquirer signed by tbe editor, A. R. Oalbcun, and which was mainly devoted to the grossest personal abase of a man named Strange, editor of an Opelika paper, makes these sensible and pointed remarks s We stagger through a legion of friendly ex pressions which Calhoun bestows upon Strange, such as “champion of cowardice," “illiterate, unprincipled scoundrel,” “white livered whelp," “brainless coward,'* “blackguard,” “liar," “bally," “drivelling fool," “brainless ass,” until onr brain whirls and we lay down the article in sheer exhaustion, with a sense of satisfaction that there is a limit even to the stock of epithets. Bat seriously, is this the “higher civilization” onr editorial friend has been preaching abont since te took the Enquirer? If he l* really dealing with a “bully” is it according to hia aeuse of honor and dignityftbat he dignsts tbe public with a blatant controversy with him? Southern gentlemen, (mark the word) ms a rale, if they are aggrieved, have another and quieter oourse—either silent contempt for the black guard, cr effective satisfaction for the mac. We believe Calhoun, who essays the role of Prophet, might in thia instance become an humble dis ciple and learn a lesson from the very people, the exponents of law, gentility and order, in wboee midst he has ca«t hie fortunes. Both parties to this affair are under bonds to keep tbe peace, and if Strange chooses to act tbe “bully"m the interim, Oalboun, aa the exponent of that “higher civilizition,” should at least spare the public controversy, which, even upon ordinary topics is unpleasant and nnsatisfao- loryto conservative and peacefully Inclined r *TirK*Griffia Star tells of a lady liviag near Gr.ffiu who bought a sewing machine six months *20 on credit, and to be paid for in monthly installments. She baa earned the money to pay for the machine by taking in sewing, and enough besides to pay for the cultivation of thirty-five acres of cotton. At the citizens’ meeting in Griffin, the other night, the following resolution was unanimously adopted: Resolved, That we ralae a ■ubneriptian of forty thousand dollars for the purpose of build ing an iron foundry and machine shops in Grif- n, aharee to be $100 each, Babseriptioa noi binding until $30,009 is subscribed,- unless otherwise ordered by stockholders; not more than 33 1 3 per eent. shall be eaTled'in" within rfxty days from the time of organization, ami future installments shall be called in aa needed on ten day*’ notioe. Kothxbg to Da—Upon this text ibe Athens Watchmen preaches the following level-headed sermon. We have beard Hundreds complain within tbe last twelve months, of having “nothing to do. So long aa cor corn, oats, bacon, hay, potatoes, onions, fruits, clothing, farming and other im plements, household comforts—nearly every thing we eat, wear or enjoy, is brought from diaianoe, it appears to ns there is much to do. We wanted a wheelbarrow the other day sod oonld not find one for sale, and yet we found w*gona here all the way from Michigan. We wanted a broom—it was from Ohio—and yet broom oora grows as well in Georgia as any where. We wanted a bucket—that was from the “big Norrid,” or enterprising West. This country is fall of water power and exoellent timber, and numbers of people oomplain that they have “nothiLg t< do” These game parties talk loudly aboat “developing oar resDuroes,” bit attempt to do it by beooming agents for life insuranoe company, or something of the kind. If they wish to develop our reeouroea let them locate a stern of a mule and betweeu substantial plow handles, or establish shops or manufactories for the production of tbe thoc- sond and one articles we are forced to import from abroad. So long as nnmbecs of people are idle and wn import everything we u.-»e, we cannot expect to prosper as we shoo'd. Thx Atlanta Constitution of yesterday oom plimenta Macon npon her liberality to the cause of education. It aays: To her eternal honor, be it sa;d, that the city of Maoon leads tbe oities of the Sooth in her practical encouragement of the great cause of education. It is a proud plume :n her cap, to be proudly worn. No n ggard baud is hew in fostering this traasoendant instrument of civili zation. But she has given, and continues to give, whenever asked, ever munificently. Her noble liberality in donating, we believe, two hundred thousand dollars to secure the location of Mercer University in her borders, ia a con spicuous instancs in point. While the location of that college was hanging in the balance, tempting prize, with many eager competitors, Maoon did not even heed the rivalry, but with her large-hearted munificence, she bid so high that all other offers seemed petty in oonttaxt. By her bold, ready generosity, she unde anoceu* inevitable, and all o-b*r rivalry was puerile child's play in oomptrison. In tbe same f>pl6n did spirit of mamfljence, her City Conno.'l has voted two large amonn*s of money to footer two edocationsl inetiintionsof different denom inations—tbe Wesleyan Female College, th-it unsurpassed female institute, and the Catholic Orphan?’ Home. All honor, dj we say, to Ma oon for her noble appreciation of education, as evinced in this donitiou of her wealth to its encouragement. Hlrkapeo Atrocities. The San Antonio (Tens) Herald of tb*231 nlL prints the following in evidence of the reign of terror which existed on the frontfer before the Kickapoo Indians weie hacked to their lair in-Mexioo and made a ease of: Mxnabbvxllx, Jnly 18,1873. Editors Utraldi At no time in the history of onr State have the Indians exercised snch oomplete control over the frontier as at tbe present. Since tbe German teamster boy killrd one Indian at McKtveU, 5 h inetant, np to this time, scarcely a day has passed that Indians have not been seen at some point in the country, but generally in the vioinity of Fjrt McKvrett. Mr. Hamilton, a surveyor, was attaoktd a few days 8go, on K:ckapoo Creek, and escaped on foot with the lc.ss of everything but his gun. A large surveying party (Mr. Polk's) waa forced to abandon its work on the Colorado and return to Austin. In Brown and Coleman counties stock and crops are neglected, and Indian soouting is tbe only occupation followed. So it is all the way up. Here is an extract from a letter from my sis ter-in law, a girl born and raised on the fron tier, written from Ctmp Colniado:— While Marion is gone I am in continual dread, and I do not know which I dread most, the probability cf hin never returning or my self and children being murdered while he is gone. Graoe and OUie b*vo been improving so nicely at school, but the excitement ba* censed tbe school to be dosed. A woman aud child livine near ns were murdered yesterday, and another ohild, a little girl eight years old. was carried off. Tbe name of the murdered woman was Mrs. Williams. Bbe and the chil dren were alone. She had completed*her morn log's work about nine o'clock, sod was rocking her little one to sleep when the Iadians entered. They shot her three times through tbe body, dashed her infant against the back of the fire place, snatched up the little girl and were gone in less than five inmates. Tbe wounded mother, in agony of despair, exhausted her strength in PDHtching up her infant from among the live, burning coals of the fireplsce, dasbeil a bucket of water on the bed, laid bar suffering, dying darling npon it, and then fell upon tbe floor to die herself.

A large crowd was present; bnt there seemed to be little disposition to purchase articles aa sou venirs. A mahogany chest of drawers, with a bookcase attached—an old, bnt well preserved piece cf furniture—was knocked down to Es quire Duveneck for $3 25 ; a favorite writing desk of the deoeased did better and sold for $15 50, very considerably more than its real value. The bed npon which it wax said the second great Ulysses was born fetched $5 50. There wax a lot of bocks sold, a very miscella neous eol!ec»ion, mainly comprising Patent Office reports, bound volumes of magazines and old school books, which might have afforded the fntnre conqueror of the rebellion his rudi mentary knowledge, snd realized about tbe value of so much waste paper.

Editors Telegraph and Messenger: Your word of cantion to planters in relation to the indiscriminate use of Faria Green on ootlcn or other plants is veiy well timed. Paris Green is an arsenate of oopper, and is therefore very destructive to vegetable and animal life. In its application it should be largely dilated with some sutstanoe which will oounterset its caustic effect. To thia end the “Whisenant Compound' was patented, and as the owner of the patent waived the royalty, it is now within the reach of all, at cents per pound, advising the use of 20 pounds to the acre. From the note of Messrs. Tift A Co. it will be seen that it does the work thoroughly, and without injury to tbe plant. Yours truly, Hunt, Raskin A Lamas.

World London Letter ] Misarably mistaken ia he who accepts the utteranoes of the London journals, upon cer tain satjects at least, as the r$fl a x of public opinion, or as the expression of the personal views of tbe writers in these publications. A carious system of roticenoe, almost of hypoo- risy, upon these subjects is practiced, which deceives no really ivull informed person, but at which no two holiest Eoglish j mrnalists can laugh without blushing. One of the sub ject* cocceruing which this hypocrisy i* main tained is tbe republican movement in England; another is th6 Roman Oatbolio movement; a third is everything which relates to the royal family. And for an illustration, let mo take the tapic cf the approaffiiog marriage Prince Alfred and M«rie Alexandrovna Raasia. Now all lhe journals, from the Times down to the Hour, have ‘gushed” over thia really pad and deplorable engagement as if it were the most happy and blissful of events. The Telegraph has gushed the most, but they have all gushed freely. They have told ns that tbe Dake of Edinbargh was everything that was noble and princely ; that of all the princes he was the most popular; that the match was one of love and pure affection on both sides; that so lively was the loya’ty of tbe English people that the approaching mar riage was regarded in every honsehold with as much pleasure and interest »s if it were an event in their own family. Not only is none of this true, but tbe exact roverse of all of it is true; and no odo knows this better than the writers who mike snch ingenious representations to the contrary. The Duke of Edinburgh is, of all the royal princbs, tbe one least esteemed and the one most disliked. Yon will hear in the I'uba and in society the most disgraceful and ludicrous stories about him. Many of these turn upon the eoonomical passion of this young gentleman, for— “Although on p'eisure ba waa beat, He hid a frugal min'Y* from bis boyhood up. Wnile he was a midship man he turned many en honest penny by sell ing the photographs of his royal mother, upon wbieh he had persuaded her to write her name, to his shipmates and other* at 10j 61 each. The money thus received, with other sums eupplied to him by his loving parent, he often loaned out at usurious interest to his young companions of the gun-room, taking preeions good care to ex act principal and interest at the maturity of the debt. The thnfty habits thus acquired have not been laid aside in later years, acd to-day this prinoe of the blood and tae future son-in- law of tbe Czar is actually iu partnership with a well known money-lender of the city, a Mr. L-—. Yon can imagine what d'sgnst such facts a* these, which are widely known, inspire in the breasts of the people who are now repre sented as “thanking heaven on their b-nded knees, with gratefol hearts, for the happi ness of onr noble sailor prinoe." Nor is this the worst of it. The prinoe has been * debauch©—although hia liaison* are said not to have been of the more expensive kind—and it has been with the utmost difficulty that the aversion of tbe Empress of Russia and of her poor daughter to this match has been overcome.
