engaged.
The Dutch are about to commence
operations for draining the Zuydcr Zee,
which has been a gulf of the German
Ocean for six hundred years. The
Haarlem papers talk of submerged cities
which will be brought to view ; so that
there is a spice of romance infused into
the undertaking, reminding one of the
legend respecting Lough Neagh, so ex
quisitely enshrined in undying poetry

Tiie Russian artillery are now testing
anew rifled cannon, constructed to de
liver its shot with great initial velocity
viz : 1,5G0 feet in a second. The
weight of the ball is only fourteen and
a half lbs., and the cannon weighs but
thirty lbs (1,080 English lbs). The
Russian Government intend serving out
these guns to the whole artillery force.
These big guns, bv the way, are making
war rather expensive. The Puke of
Cumbiijge, in the course of a speech
the other day, said that the cost of the
81-ton gun would be about £15,000,
and every shot fired frrm it would cost
£25. At this rate war is becoming a
luxury which impecunious nations will
find it difficult to indulge in.
In San Fraawdsco the temperature of
January Is but six or eight degrees cold
er than in July From 9A.M. to 3
or 4 r. M. the day is usually clear and
comfortably warm, when cold winds set
in from the Pacific, frequetly.driving be
fore thorn the densest of fogs, and one
is penetrated to the bone with the cold
and humidity of the atmosphere. The
winds prevail until 7 or 8 o’clock in the
evening, when it again turns-warm, and
the nights especial'y if it be clear and
moonlight until 12 o’clock, is as balmy
can be desired. Then comes another ;
change; the temperature is lower and
the city is enveloped in fogs until late in
tb,o morning.
OFFICIAL CORRUPTION.
The recent developments in the case
of W. W. Belknap, the Secretsrv of
War, who bud been aroused of taking
bribes and using his office as a means of
corruption, which fact he confessed and
begged fir mercy, pr diced a sensation
over the whole country. His wife, who
has been a oouapicious figure in Wash
ington Society, was a confederate iui his
crimes and a bonificiary to the frarudent
ly secured, •uids.’ Her costly raiment
jewels and lares, dazzled in the eyes of
beholders, and she reignoi a queen
from whotne simple recognition was con
sidered an honor among - the ladies at
the capital. The developments of cor
ruption were made by the Democrat
ic Investigating Couirn tteo, from state'
m r nt made by one Caleb I*. Marsh tha 1
the Secretary had been selling post
traderships for a considerable length of
time for large amounts of money. There
is no doubt but taut similar systems of
corruption have been carried on by Oth
er of Grant’s officials, uninterrupted,
and that Grant himself has betn cog.
n izant of it, and perhaps such a state
of affairs might have gone on for a long
time hut fur the vigilance of the Denia
ocrats. Now that the work has begun
other exposures are sure to follow. —
Robeson and several others of the
cabinet will be pulled down next, and
the President himself made to tremble
in his boots, as there is little doubt but
that he has been in some way secretly
connected with the corruption of his of
ficials. The New York Suu has shown
where' Ingalls, the Quartermaster-Gen .
oral appointed over Meigs, an efficient
officer, some time ago made a present of
a costly watch to the President’s wife
and afterwards secured his present po
sition. This vile corruption brings
shame upon our government and the
stench from the present administration
is sickennig to every true American.—
Such a filthy fabric must surely crum
ble at the next Presidential election,
when the honesty of the lan ! call for a
full reckoning and constitute a rule of
purer and better men.
We once lead of a scaree-crow which
notonly frightened off every other crow
but frightened one so bad that he brought
back the corn he had stolen three days
before. If Uncle Ssm could only in
vent something to make the thieving
officials disgorge all they have stolen,
the national debt wou.d be reduced.—
Hartford Times.
Tiie London Press is severe on tho
KuHr.i.ijp Jicgiooo. Tho Standard says
“ happily the countries are few where
so gross an abuse of trust would be pos
sible.” The Times says “ even we
Europeans cannot but be struck with
the altered toces in which Amer
icans speak, if not of their insti
tutions, at least of the men who have
the present direction of them.’ 7 The
Telegraph says—“ the general effect,
beyond denial, has been to bring the
blush of shame and anxiety into the
face of honest Americans, 77 and the
News “ refers to the whisky fraud tn>
als, the Emma mine scandal, and the
downfall of Belknap, and says that
those scandals lift the veil from a class
of society which it was hitherto pretty
generally supposed had as yet escaped
the impurities of tho social strata be
low, and they lead one to fear that some
of the worst vices of .municipal govern
ment may be percolating into the fed
eral administration. 77
The thrill of horror and dismay
which ran through the country at the
news of .Secretary Belknap’s disgrace
will lose its compensating effect if the
event is regarded merely as a case of
individual depravity. It differ in de*
gree, but not in kind, from hundreds of
instances of official misconduct, a 1 of
which, it may be added, follow as di
redly as effect can follow cause from
the total absence in Washington of all
personal responsibility of anybody for
an)thing. Secretary Belknap has been
for six or seven years, as far as the pub
i : e was concerned, the shadow of a
name. If he wanted anything ,in his
department, instead of slaving and de*
lending it Prankiy in debate before the
country, he was obliged to lobby in
private with committees of Congress.—
On the other hand, nut o much as a
question could bo publicly asked with
relations to he w rkings of that de
partmeut without the consent of Con
gross. And so the rottenness was cov
ered up. until tfc tdvent of a Democrat
ic majority disclosed it to grace iu the
eyes ef the word in our Genteuniil year.

A Lucky Naval Contractor.
New York March 9—lt is report
ed in Wall street* that when Secretary
Robeson went into office he borrowed
81,QUO to make a presoutablo appear®
a nee ami that today ho is wortli not
less than 82,000,000.
It is the firm belief of those who
know what they are talking about that
millions upon millions have been squan
dered upon favorites by the De
partment ev r since the commencement
of th* war, and that the squandering
or plundering i. still a pleasant opera
tion.
Let uie cite briefly one case. A con>
tractor w o has hud hold of the navy
teat for years and who two years ago
lived in a 87.000 rosii mee, now iives in
one that cost, with its surroundings
8250 000.
’1 lie palace was built for himself by
day’s work, and has nearly three years
in course of erection. he furniture in
it came partly from Paris, and costs 870
000. The stable built near the resi/
dence is better fitted for God’s honest
offspring than fot the shelter of dumb
beasts.
But this is not all. Said contractor
in addition to the above, has become
tho owner, since his connection with
the Navy Department of hundreds of
acres of land and valuable buildings and
stores, which he has cither erected or
puichased. Indeed, he is ranked as the
wealthiest man in the county in which
ho resides, and that is .ot an hour’s
distance from the city. These are
the carts, and they carry their o wn com
ments.

Ten years ago, Messrs. Geo. P. Rowell &
C'o. established their advertising agency :n
New York City Five years ago they ab
sorbed the business conducted by Mr. John
Hooper, who was the first to go into this
kind of enterprise Now they have the sat
isfaction of controlling the most extensive
and complete advertising connection which
has ever been secured, and one whcli would
be hardly possible in any other country but
this. They have succeeded in workim*
down a com pi e x birsfness into so thoroughly
a systematic method that no change in the
newspaper system of America can escape
notice, while the widest information on all
topics interesting to advertisers is placed
readily at the disposal of the public.

THE NEW EAMILY
SINGER
sewing Machine.
With attachments
For All Kinds of Work,
♦
is fist winning favor in the household, aa
shown by the rapidly increasing sales.
This New Family Machine is capa
ble of a range and variety of work such as
was once thought impossible so perform by
machinery, We claim and can show th;U
it is the cheape.t, most beautiful, delicately
arranged, nicely a Ijlisted, easily operated,
and smoothly running of all the family
sewing machine's. It is remarkable, net
only fo: the range and variety of its sew
ing, but also for the variety and different
kinds of texture which it will sew with
equal facility and perfection, using silk
twist, linen, or cotton thread, fineor coarse,
making the inter-elastic lock stitch, alike
on both sides of the fabric sewn. Thus,
beaver cloth, or leather, may be sewn with
great strength and uniformity of stitch ,
and, in a moment, this willing and never
wearying instrument may be adjusted for
fine work on gauze or gossamer tissue, or
the tucking of tarlatan, or ruffling, or al
most any other work which delicate fihgers
have been known to perforin.
Ours having long been t he popular and
praqjjcal maebiSLos fof manufacturing pur
poses, some dealers, using *• the tricks of
trade,” take advantage of this in trying to
persuade purchasers that our Family Ma
chine is not equal, for family ser.'ing to our
Manufacturing Machines for manufacturing
purposes. But purchasers—and they are
apt tt/ examine carefully before choosing
have not been merely persuaded, but con
vinced that our new family" achine embod
ies new and essential principles—simplicity
ot construction : ease of operation ; uni
formity of precise action at any speed ; ca
pacity for range and variety of work, fine
or coarse - leaving all rivals beuind it.
