TO THE PUBLIC.
The publisher of the SATURDAY EVEKING MAIL aspires to make an earnest and sincere independent journal—one •which will avoid at the samo time, disreputable sensationalism, the truculenco of blind partisanship, and the moral cowardice which has made so many newspapers but the weak echo of that public sentiment which they should rriako and control. He believes that it is not necessary, in order to make an acceptable newspaper, either to be servile in one's partisanship or oblivious of any question or topic of the day. This truth, now fortunately well established, accounts for the wonderful influence of the modern press, an influence which belongs pre-emi-nently to independent and impersonal journalism.
Ho asks and expects for his enterprise only such patronage and support as it merits. Earnestly desiring the public approval, in itself an evidence of merit, ho launches his vessel npon tho uncertain waters, trusting and believing tluit its voyage will be prosperous and with a determination to stand by the ship, Ayhatevcr fate betides it.
THE PIETY OF CHARLES DICKENS. Before the echoes of tho last sad ceremonies connected Avitli the body of tho man dearer than any other to the English-speaking world, had ceased to resound through Westminster Abbey, many clergymen, from whom wo had a right to expect 1 letter things, were ready to sneer at his piety and doubt liis Christianity. We hold it to be true that a man's goodness is proven more by his infiuenco than b#y his words and actions. Tho infiuenco of Charles Dickens upon tlie world was all good lvis words were all good his private actions were not all purely good, because he lived so fast as to hasten his own destruction—of itself 0110 of the greatest calamities to civilization
Mr. Dickens was essentially a storv writer, a story writer different from mostothers in this: that every story written by liiin eradicated an evil from society, or impressed amoral upon tho English-reading people. 3 Tho world is far, far better for his having lived, lie has left behind him sermons which will be potent for good through all time. Tiny Tim, Little Nell, LittlejDoinbev with his unutterable longings, even poor, lost Sidney Carton, with his sublime death, atoning in a moment for tho transgressions of a life, will influence posterity for good long after the tradueers of Charles Dickens liavo mouldered and their words have been forgotten.
Mr. Dickens disliked cant. He sneered at the idea that sanctimonious visages or long drawn words were needed in approaching tho dear God jJtbove. Ho preached against tho Rev. Mr. Chadbrand, and tho missionaries sent out to Rorrioboola-Glia but he exalted the charity that was unobtrusive and sought tho poor and needy among the slums and alleys, and down by tho dark river-side. There was more true goodness in plain, honest Mr. Boflin, than in all these Pharisaical critics who hurl their futiledarts at the dear dead man in the Poet's Corner of Westminster. His genius discovered pearls of humanity in unclean ways, and he dared affirm that respectability was not goodness. All tho pompous formalities, all the high-sounding ceremonies and forms of earthly churches, have not as much true religion in them as Tiny Tim's prayer, "God bless us every one!" Tho triumph of purity and goodness in his works stamps him as a great advocate of unadvertised Christianity. His work has been greater and nobler than that of the best of us.
Wo cannot close this brief article without adding the ibttovrlng noble words of the Rev. Mr. Frothingham:
Charles Dickens, whose .untimely death

we mourn as one of our own family, regarded in tlic hearts of men with a freedom which very few have lcen able to obtain a man of the world, familiar with marble hails, equally familiar with the haunts of poverty and vice, honored by tho Crown, beloved by the poor,—Charles Dickens fully indicates tho infinite richness of this. He lias been the great genius of the most beautiful literature the soul of the beautiful was in that man he dramatized the golden rule he illustrated the parables lie was an apostle without calling himself he was 110 preacher, yet his loving words trickled Hk llirough the mag

V.'ho has not felt that that great charitv of his was born of that spirit of Jesus, who opened his arms and said, "Come unto me all ye that are weary and heavy laden, and I will give you rest'1 The dear man has gone, and yet he lives in so many hearts, lie told 11s how much good there was in those in whom the world saw none, That was the lesson for that apostle of charitv for which we shall calmly bless him, and bevond that sweet Nazarins who was his comforter. I believe as long as that image is in the world the standard of humanity will not, be lowered—the standard of our attainment will be kept high.
He made us all to be God's charity
WOMAN LOOKING UP. Lady Amberley, daughter-in-law of Earl Russel, and a leader of fashion in England, has taken tho platform for the cause of Women's Rights. Other eminent and distinguished English women have become champions of the cause among these are the noblest of living philanthropists, Miss Angelina Burdett Coutts In this country the cause grows stronger every day. Once let it be understood that it is not unfashionable or unwomanly to be strong minded and the rapidity with which converts are made will astonish the world.
The influence of Lady Amberly step will be felt not only in English aristocratic life, but among the women of America as well. Progress is the word. Women arc admitted to study already in the medical schools of Paris and St. Petersburg. Fourteen ladies are students at Zurich. Over two hundred women are employed in the Russian telegraph offices. In France, Germany and Russia, all over the contiuent in fact, the Woman Question is discussed and gains ground steadily. Turkey, even, has framed its laws to give complete protection to woman. We should not neglect to mention, as another sign of the times, the presence in Rome of Miss Edmonia Lewis, a sculptress of rising fame. This lady was born in a wigwam, her mother an Indian, her father a negro. Are not all things possible to woman, in the light of this girl genius, born out Of slavery and the wilderness, shining brightly among the art devotees Rome?
We are learning rapidly that there aro other things women can do besides getting married. The greatest error of our social system is just this: Women have been raised to understand that there was one thing more desirable than all others and to be attained at all hazards if possible—matrimony Men have believed themselves lords of creation for whose especial benefit women should dress and beautify and bedizen themselves. There are many things we say, that women can do, and bo happier for doing without detracting one jot from their womanliness or sweetness. No honorable employment is unwomanly. It will be better for society when it condemns as severely au idle woman as an idle man.
The greatest obstacle in the way of Woman's Franchise is that large class of women who would rather be parlor ornaments and chatties forever than un tho risk of being called masculine by demanding recognition and the opportunity to work out a destiny equal with men. But light is dawning. The Woman Question is no longer sneered out of society. It has able and determined advocates in all circles. Its converts are numbered by hundreds and thousands daily, and 110 one ever proves recreant to the faith. The ause of woman is inevitable and indomitable. When accomplished men will wonder that they ever tolerated tho old social system, as we wonder now that the institution of slavery was ever considered anything but the efinement of cruelty and tho most unjust of oppressions.
TIIK immense circulation attained by the New York Ledger, and twenty or thirty similar papers, is a matter of wonder to persons who have bestowed 110 thought upon tho subject. Statis tics on this subject would probably show that one-half the families of the country aro regular readers of this class of periodical literature—the Led ger alone being road by a million and a half of persons. Considering the fact that nine-tenths of tho matter in these sheets is of tho trash trashy, many intelligent persons aro inclined to look upon their influence as most pernicious and demoralizing to the literary tastes of tho people but when it is remembered that they aro read almost exclusively by a new class of readers who formerly had no literary tastes, It is not so alarming. A vessel must have motion before it ran feel its rudder. It is useless to begin cultivating literary tastes in the masses by inducing them to read Butler's Analogy, or tho Lives of the Saints, or tho works of Carlylo or Victor Hugo. The youth who aspires to become an athlete does not begin by pitching cannon balls in tho air and catching them on his naked shoulders. The first point in tho cultivation of literary tastes in the masses is to get them to read anything. It is safe to say that tho millions who are content with trash now, will need something better after a time. In the meantime let us be thankful that the masses read something.

THE DRY GOODS WAR. This is essentially tho ag of advertising. Shrewd business men vie with each other in tho infinite vaeiety of means used to make their names and business known. Colossal fortunes nave been made by such "dodges" as making "Spaulding's Prepared Glue" a household word mystifying people about "S. T. 1860-X," and inducing the unwary to road tho beginning of an exciting story which concludes with a reference to the New York Ledger for its continuation. Those advertising schemes, and a thousand and one similar ones, aro all legitimate and respectable. There is nothing malicious in them, and tho enterprising inventors have reaped ample fortunes, as judiadvertisers have always done.
Recently wo have had a sample of advertising in our midst which we cannot commend so highly. Anew business house was opened two months since, which has sought to advertise itself by violent and intemperate abuse of competing houses in the same lino of trade. It has made statements with a recklessness which shows, either an utter disregard for tho truth, or a mania for notoriety which is deplorable.
FOP
instance: it has charged that
the prices of competing houses have been extortionate, and their profits in consequence, immense, when it is a well known and regretted fact that the income returns of last year showed that the dry goods merchants of our city had made but meagre profits, and in many cases none at all.
The dry goods merchants of our city had earned an enviable reputation fcr fairness and honesty. Their enterprise has "been so remarkable as to give them reputation fay and wide. Many of our most active and energetic business men, young and old, have been in the dry goods trade. Competition has been active and determined at the same time that it has been generous and manly. Under these circumstances we must look upon the indiscriminate abuse of old and established houses by a new and rival firm as an insult to our whole population, as well as to those active and honorable gentlemen "who have been identified with the dry goods trade of our city.
We believe it to be a business idea as unsound and unsafe as it is dishonorable, that success can be achieved where condition is strong, only by pulling some one else down. If the charges made by the firm above alluded to were true, we would still think it exceedingly bad taste for it to indulge in indiscriminate abuse of its competitors. The charges being untrue in all respects, its new stylo of advertising must be looked upon not only as an exhibition of bad taste, but as unnecessary, unprofitable and malicious.
f- CIVIL SERVICE.. After the 31st of August the. Civil Service in England—the Foreign Office excepted—Avill be thrown open to young men who can pass thej ordeals of competitive examination^ The admission will first be to a period of probation, and they may be excluded if found unfit. By this plan, private patronage is got rid of, and competent young men of all ranks may havo a chance of obtaining a public appointment.
It is to be regretted that while England is taking a liberal step in reference to her Civil Service, our own government seems determined to perpetuate the reign of incompetence and' the distribution of offices according to the wishes of Congress, with little reference to the capacity of the appointees. It is useless to expect Congressmen to act from other than selfish motives, hence they will continc their opposition to a Civil Service which will shear them of the power and patronage which they depend upon to perpetuate their power. But the people i^and the press ^should speak out. Why should not the government be run upon the sensible and practical plan of railroads, banks and other large corporations If an official is competent to fill a position why not keep him in it regardless of change of party in power? If ho be incompetent why continue his official existence a single day? Yet men known to be en tirely honest and capable have been turned out at every change of administration to make room for incompetent nobodies. Are there not as good rea sons, and better, for a civil service as for an army and naval service? Men say that civil service means aristocracy. Are the army, and navy, and supreme bench aristocracies? Are railroad offi cials aristocrats because they hold their positions so long as they are competent to fill them Would it be possible for a railroad to bo run successfully if all its employees were subject to dismissal every four years and their places filled with incompetent persons? The peo-
Semand
le should think over this question and a change.
HEARTS are not trumps in the great game of life diamonds seem superlatively more compatible with the requirements of the present age. As a sentiment the heart is generally consid ered as very pretty, but as a fact of meagre value. It is all very nice for sentimental young ladies to converse about the powers of the little "thumper," but they would be shocked at the thought of "love in a cottage" were there no diamonds, or their equivalent in greenbacks, forthcoming and the rest of mankind really esteem it no higher than did the penurious Jew. Diamond is tho trump card, and all others- in the pack pay it servile hom®ge.^ If any man is dispose^ to doubt the truth of this assertioni let him awaken from his worse tha| Rip Van Winkle lethargy and look abfcut him.

TERRE-HAUTR SA rtj»DAY EVENING MAII, JULY 2. 1870.
A SAD SIGHT.
Upon a crossing of Western Row, in Cincinnati, there can be seen every day of the year a forlorn looking woman whoso eyes, from which the light of reason havo faded, are looking steadily for a form that will never appear. Be fore the sad war days when so many homes gave up their best and dearest this woman was a happy and contented matron. Her husband, actuated by patriotic motives, enlisted in the serv ice of his country in a regiment march ing to the front. Upon this same cross ing, at the spot where the wife stands now as wo write, he parted from her, After a few months of separation news came that he was dead—killed in bat tie. The patient loving spirit, whose world had been her husband's regard sank under the blow to rise bereft of reason, with only one purpose left. At sunrise of each day she repairs to the crossing mentioned» and scans closely every form coming from the direction in. which her husband walked away, Many times in the day some fanciful resemblanco in a passer-by arouses eager hope, only to be succeeded by despair. In summer she carries with her a faded umbrella for protection from the sun and storms. In winter she ptyces a small board under her feet to protect them from the cold and damp All intelligence has fled from her face, all feeling save the one sad, unutterable longing for the absent one. O patient sufferer, surely there is an Infinite Land in which your constancy Avill be rewarded!
THEY have a very comical system of passes in the theatres and places of amusement in the Phillippine Islands. When a native wishes to leave the apartment with the intent jon of return ing, he has his naked forearm, near the wrist, stamped as he goes out with a black die, which secures his readmission, and at the same time obviates all anxiety as to his losing his ticket. On his return this mark is easily wiped out. Tickets not transferable!
