that a festival to Cupidity would receive
a good deal more attention in Xow
York at least, than this one to Cupid.
The only event that at all served to
marie the day .hors, was its celebration
by the “shrieking sisterhood's" so -i.ey,
| Sorosis. This evidence of the Society's
io.itinned existence was a genuine sur

doubtless will be to many of your

I still lives, presumably as ready as ever

I In. Sorosis was born in February li,
185(, so that the meeting above
J mentioned was ' the celebration
[cl its twentieth birthday. And
I now that it has attained a marriageable
age, why can t some self-sacrificin'/
Mormon marry the whole concern and
transplant it to the blooming shores of
the Great Salt Like? Such an act of
benevolence is one which New York
could never rt p ,y or forget.
About the .ait trouble which one)
wool 1 expect to arise in a country
which lias ha I nearly two decades of
paper currency, is a redundancy of spe
cie, but just that seems now to loom up
before us. The Nevada mines, under
the impulse of new discoveries and im
proved pin-esses are turning out such
quantities of silver as threaten to great
ly reduce the value of the metal. In
consequence of this, our mine owning
senators, doubtless alarmed lest I heir

■cupied. For it is not to ba gainsaid
that despito Mr. Greeley’s grcathess as
a philanthropist and philosopher, the
former managemeut of tho Trjbme t'cpm
a journalistic point of view was nqt
equal to the present one. The Tribute
of to-day is the. finest specimen of that
one great result of the Liberal Move
ment, independent journalism. Jutj'ol
llics a3 in all the. great questions of the
day, it occupies the true position of a
great,metropolitan newspaper; neither
standing Aloof from the ■ eohtest, nor
held in the leash by either side, but af-
I ter grasping and defluing the merits of
a case with unusual clearness, dealing
its blows iu behalf of justice and public
policy, iu nsiiiqbavv ?ftu3s\h<ai,nSt.y be
• fo.sn-’x news- is usually cmapMfc
and 'above afl, Reliable. Its-’ foreigb
correspondence, is the best we have,
while its musical, dramatic, and art
critiques are by common consent,'stan
dard.
The Trif)wU's‘\ one. 'a,nd policy are
well-nigh unique in this country. They
evince a dignity, a moderation, a con
sistency, and a straightforwardness
which are in strong contrast to the in
sincere, harum-scarum style of journal
ism which obtains too generally at this
day.
in nothing are those qualities more,
clearly illustrate 1 than in the policy of
the paper towards its detractors.
I presume that no first-class journal
was over subjected to more persistent
systematic, outrageous, and irritating
attacks* than is Tie Tr.huxie Tram cer
tain of jis contemporaries. No piud is
too black for them to throw, no charges
top sidy or too improbable, for them to
t-jiteTaf? <m nmiiteam. Jlad tho Tribune
justified the expectation of its enemies,
by noticing these attacks, it would have
entered upon an cudless task with the
1 didicultyor constantly meeting charges
i so utterly silly that refuting them would
be in itself redioulous. But i ito this
j t 'ap-the..e4itor of The 4'ti'iUjut decline 1.
1 to fall, and now. afxCtCjvJrfitiw of frantic
endeavor to provoke soine deviation
train the cutting silence m.iin'oire t by
tti' > paper, its opponents now find Iheiu
selves in a pitafily awkward’ position.
To continue flic, one-side l light in the
expectation of being recognize 1 as ie
ligercnts looks hopeless. and to alum"
doa a field, where they are having their
own way unmolested,, would expose
them to even greater ridicule. It Us an
unpleasant, but deserve 1 doom a-., the
on i of which is not yet; but no tenni-
j nation of it can a feet the advantage
I which the Tribmv has glaired throngs
I the wisdom of a Chief, who with neither
I gray hairs nor t ie col l bio id of age to
I teach him f irbearaucc, lias rea l a les
j son in. firmness, temporanee, an 1 con
| troversiul tactics to the whole piofes
j sion.
The substantial proof of this is found
! in the growing circulation of the paper,
j which continues to increase ia the teeth
:of slander. Tho weekly edition espec
ially, is making itself more and more
strongly felt among tire thinking class
throughout the States,-with a corres
pondingly greater influence upon public
opinion. Happily this influence!is a
/safe one. Like everything else finite
the. Thbhna jii ay err, but at worbt, its
‘ errors are not on tlic-sidc of dishonesty
and corruption, while the great mass its
teaching is of a character to be welcom
ed in every American homo.
Crime seems to run in streaks. One
offense of any . peculiar character is
pretty sure to he shortly followed by
others of a similar description. For a
good while Xe-v York lias enjoyed, a re
spite from Post Office stealing, until
some ten days since, when a young
Pole employed as a letter-carrier was I
found to have been eugaged for .some j
time in rifling letters, over a thousand 1
of which lie had opened and relieved of
their contents if in money, but if in
checks or money-orders which he could
not use, destroying them entirely.
Now, another young man whose'Held of
operations was the registered mail be-;
tween this cit.v and a neighboring conn- j
ty, lias come to similar grief, and it is j
a safe prediction that the next few |
weeks will remit in bringing more cases !
to light.

pauses of conversation,! have seen that
expression deepen, or strengthen rath

Once in paricnlar T remember noti

jto distress and annoy her. lint since
| i. have hear l her story, J under stool
j not only tiiis, but many other'things
that seemed very strange to me.
Three years ago Miss Linsee was vis
iting a friend,.a young girl of about her
own age, at her home on the Hudson.
It was a large, rambling, country
j house, with an unusual number of sleep
ing rooms, aud*Jennie,, oa .her .arrival,
was the only guest, so that oureaeh si le
of hdr the rooms was u locciipied.
Tire evening she arrived her friend
i insisted on her going to bv 1 early, say.
ing that slie must be very weary, but
Jennie in listed that slio was iiiot : the 1.
and absolutely refused to po to be 1.
At last a regular romp "ensued, Jen
nie s trien i looked her guest into-her
: room, shouted good-night .through thu
key-hole and rail laughing down Lie
1 long hue ' '

I footsteps growing fainter and fainter,
and then turning-to tire long oval tnir'
