CONKLING h"\s met the etiemy and "he is theirn."

SECBKTARY SHERMAN has called for another

per cents.

IN the death of Richard Henry Dana America loses her oldest poet and essayist—A man without fear and above reproach.

SITTING BULL, according to the latest and most reliable reports, has not crossed over the Canadian border coming south into the United States.

SENOR VIGO, the Spanish minister, was presented to the President yesterday* He will serve his country faithfully. His name is a guarantee of that.

CONOR ESS appears to be indisposed to have the regular army reduced at the present time. The Texas members particularly are opposed to any reduction.

THE GAZETTE observes with displeasure that the Indiana Senators voted with ConkHng against the President's nominations for the New York Custom House.

Now that he has been beaten in his fight on the New York nominations Conkling is said to be more wratful than ever against the administration of President Hayes.

DISTANT Dacotah is agitating the question of granting suffrage to women. Out there women are such a rarity that the men are disposed to be more clival rous towards them than they are in this region.

SENATOR CONKLING tried to bulldoze President Hayes for his removal of Arthur and Cornell and the appointment of Merritt and Burt to the Collectorship and Naval office at New York. He has been beaten, and that badly.

GENERAL SHERMAN is taking 'a pleasant railroad ride through the South to the sea. He does not meet with the same opposition which served to retard but did not prevent his marching to that same seaboard several years ago. J-

BEN BUTLER is credited with the' suggestion that if the economists of the Congress wish to curtail the expenses of the House in the matter of purchasing combs and brushes every year, they should advise the people to elect only bald-headed ia 's

himself. Benjamin

forgets that hi6 taid pate needs more combing down than many another well hatched cranium. $

PLAN BUCHANAN is reported as being in Washington, as large as life, and swelling with importance over the two votes he receive^ in the House and one in the Senate for United States Senator. Just new he is charged with the self appointed mission of organizing the next House of Representatives in which body he is cherishing the insane delusion that the so called Notional Fiatic party holds the balance of power Buchanon is induced to undertake the cultivation of this larger field of labor, we presume, because ot the remarkable success that attended his manipulktion of the Indiana Legislature.

VAGRANT VENDERS

fj,

An important matter was briefly discussed at the Council meeting last night. It pertained to the question of dUcou* aging the invasion of our c. itenerant vendors of wares. N«

man in business needs to be told what a nuisance they are. A two-fold objection can be reasonably made to them. In the first place, they swindle an unsuspecting public. And, as is always the case where a grab game is in progress, that portion of the community least able to stan^loss by foolish purchaser in which they are cheated, furnishes the first victims. They come here without business Character, and their stay is so short that it is not worth their while to attempt, by tair dealing, to establish one. They come at the harvest time of trade when unusual purchases are being made Generally they deal in that class of good,

with which the people are least familiar and in the purchase of which they can be most eaeily deceived. Selling inferior goods which are not expected to preserve their appearance for a longer time than is sufficient for them to depart with empty boxes and full purses, tKey clearly obtain money under false pretenses. It is against public policy, in the GAZETTE'S opinion, for them not to be placed under restructions as will discourage their coming here.

In the second place it is a fratld on our merchants engaged in the same lines of business. We have a large ana reputable class of merchants. They own property, or if not pay rent on property which is taxed. In this way they support the city through dull seasons of well as in flush times. Living here and dependent for future support upon their rectitude there is every motire for their dealing squarely with their customers and besides the} have something from which redress may be obtained if they defraud..

The GAZETTE very emphatically favors the idea which was broched by Councilman Schless at the meeting last night of having them present their peti tions for license to the Council itself. That body &hould exercise its discretion in the matter of granting a license at all, and when it does should place the rate at so high a figure as to make tbem bear their share ef the burdens of the Government sustained by the people to whom they calculate to sell their wares and from whom they expect to make their money.

STATISCAL INFORMATION. A great many years ago Daniel Boone was crowded out of Kentucky. It became too thickly settled to suit his disposition, He lon&ed for more elbow room. People jostled up too much against him. Since the old hunter was gathered to his fathers a ceaseless tide of travel has set in this direction, not only from the older Eastern States but also from the more crowded countries across the sea. If he were alive now he would not be able to breathe freely in all the region over which he hunted in his middle life, so thickly populated has it become. And yet the really vast resources of this country have scarcely been tax* ed at'all. The unoccupied land exceeds that portion which has been tilled and made subject to man. This is, perhaps, hardly comprehended by most people. It is difficult to realize the extent of the land we live in. For this misapprehension the maps are, in a measure, responsible. Especially is this so in reference to a correct estimate of the relative 6ize of the different States. People know, in a general way, that Rhode Island, Delaware and Connecticut have a small area in comparison with the great States of the West and South. But in the examination of atlases they have not taken into account the different scales, and many fall into queer errors about the size of States like Pennsylvania and Kansas, or New York and Colorado. They look at the county maps of the smaller and older States, and bring them in juxtaposition with the maps of thinly-settled communities, which are drawn on a much smaller scale. A few comparisons will serve to remove these misconceptions.

The area of the Spates ranges from Rhode Island with

So is Kansas.. Nebraska is equal in extent to Pennaylvania, and all the New England States but Maine. Texas alone comprises more than one-eighth of the territory of the whole. Texas, California, Colorado, Oregon, Minnesota, Kansas and Nebraska are nearly equal in extent to all^e rest combined.

If to these^States are added Maryland, Virginia and North Carolina, the area of these thirteen States is yet less by more than

And yet it would take more than five States of the siae of Massachusetts to make up Ohio. Ohio, Indiana and Illinois combined have an area ot 129,183 square miles, less by over

50,000

25,000

in excess of that of Missouri, though their area was ten times as great.

ed by four States. New York alone, that had less than one-twelfth of the area of these States, had more than double the population. Ohio, with only one-fifteenth of their area, had a population a third larger. Pennsylvania had a population nearly twice as large, though its area was 575,000 fquart: miles less.

And yet these stales are not crowded, by any manner of means, with people. A ride on any railroad throughout these Western middle States would reveal the fact that large tracts of unfilled land exist. And this i6 60 notwithstanding the fact that the tendency of all farming and businesK of everykind in cluster around and along these iron arteries of trade and commerce.,"

Any one who Was been abroad or traveled through the more populous portions of the astern States where the farms are 6mall and cultivated as in the iVest garden patches are cared for, will begin to comprehend the enormous possibilities of this great country in the matter of supporting a larger population. There is room in this- country for millions of people in the future, with emigrants from abroad and children sprung from the loins of those who have already only partially occupied their landed inheritance. Long after the present generation shall nave cea&ed to labor and is at rest, there will still be ample room for Uncle Samuel to give each of his sons a farm.

CONSUMPTION CURED. An old physician, retired from practice, having had placed in his hands by an East India missionary the formula of a simple vegetable remedy, tor the speedy and permanent cure for consumption, bronchitis, catarrh, asthma, and all throat and lungs affections, also a positive and radical cure for nervous debility, and all nervous complaints, after having tested its wonderful curative powers in thousands of eases, has felt it his duty to make it known to his suffering fellj#s. Actuated by this motive, and a desire to relieve human suffering, I will send, free of charge, to all who desire it, this receipt with full directions for preparing and u?ing, in German, French, or English.

An Interesting Letter From Him, Written at Ballarat, Australia.

The Imperial Governor of AusJraiia anrt His Suit Visit His

A "Place Where Beecher is tJa known, y?

20, 1878.)

Dear GAZETTE—VVe finished our stay in Melbourne Dec.

14th.

Since then

have been h^re. Our Melbourne season was a succession ot triumphs. On Friday, Dec. 6 h, the Impeiial Governor, Sir George Bowen and Lady Bowen and daughters and the vice regal suite all attended in regal style. The Governor was decked out with his garb of office as Royal Governor of Victoria. The ladies were in full evening dress, (low neck and short sleeves) and the Governor's staff and suite were in uniform. When the Governor attends here, it is necessary to put on a good deal of style. First he is 6ent a formal invitation to attend. This invitation is addressed to his private secretary. After cogitating over the matter for several days the secretary usually slips in quietly" some evening and sees part of the show, if he likes it he reports at headquarters that it is "O. JC." Then the manager receives a note 6aying that on a certain evening the Governor and suite will attend. The manager then gets a nice carpet to lead from the carriage to the Governor's box in front. Then calcium lights are used to light up matters when the royal carriage arrives. About five minutes before the carriage comes a courier on horseback is sent ahead to announce the Governor's coming. Then as he comes in the house the audience all rise to their leet, the band plays "God Save the Qneen," and all remain standing until the royal party are seated.

Our manager decorated our hall with British and American flags we had no calcium lights, so we did something better, we g5t four or five pounds of red and blue fire and from the time the courisr came until the ro\al party alighted we kept our end of tiie city in a blaze of blue and red lights. It drew an enormous crowd, and the hall was packed to suffocation Usually it is stylish for the royal party to leave the house shortly l«efore the entertainment ends, but in this case we managed to interest the crowd of kings and queens and empresses, and kept them antil the 'curtain fell. The governor and lady sent forClara and me, and we were introduced, and they were extremely gracious, and complimented us highly, the governor even going so far as to say, "Deucedly clever, you know, by Jove, beats anything I ever saw in London."

RAILROADS AND TELEGRAPHS. Here in Australia the government runs the telegraph lines and railroads, and I wish some of our "Notional" friends, who want the United States government to run the railroads, etc., etc., could see the way things are managed here. I can't see that the workmen are any^ better off here than in the United S'ates. The cars are small,poorly ventilated,badly seated, high prices for fare. The trains make bad time, only average about

18 mile6

an hour. The station houses

are fair, but the arrangements for baggage, or luggage, as it is called here, are miserable. They have no baggage checks of any kind you place a tag on your baggage, and at each station the passeneers go to the "luggage van.'Vand point out their trunks, etc to the baggage man, and a sweet confusion is often the result. Every little while the papers contain complaints about the inefficiency of the railroad management. The tele graph is similar. The charge is about the same as in the United States, but messages are delivered at hap hazard, sometimes you git

!em,

sometimes you

don't, and they are often delayed a long time. The railroads and telegraph will not compare for efficiency with the United States, and wages are no better than in the United 8tates. There are just as many growling workmen here as in the United States. At present there is a, seaman's strike going on in Sydney.

THE WEATHER..

It is becoming quite warm ndw" and by Christmas the mercury will be up in the nineties. We shall do our best to keep cool and fill out pockets at the same time. ..

There are Ho GOOD

TAILORS HERE.

I've had two good suits ruined by the intelligent cutters of this island, and I won't try again, but will wait nntil I can give Phil, schloss a chance. It seems to nie they try how bad they can cut things.

THE NEWSPAPERS

have an immense patronage here, and the advertising is overdone by every one, and at big prices. This or Sydney would be a good place for another daily. Sydney needs a morning paper. It has but one now, and this city would support another afternoon paper well. 9 EKTS AND PROPERTY are low here compared with United States prices. The stores and buildings, however are not as fine.

The newspapers here are very tiresome to read for one who is accustomed to American papers. They have no displayed head lines, and one has to read all through the paper to find( out any news.

Now in ah American paper one can read the head lines and in five or ten minuses get the pith of the whole paper, but here it is very different.

For example, yecterday there was a noted cricket match in Adelaide, also a game .in Melbourne. 1 had to. read three closeljr printed colunnt, of a lot of stuff, details of the match, before I could learn who was ahead, as the games were. un finished, (closed to-day) and the sum-

mary was not in type, and wouldn't you call that annoying. BEECHER UNKNOWN*

I have at last found one place where no one to speak of ever heard of enry Watd Beecher. I had occasion last nijiht to compare one of my committee to Beecher. I got off a real good joke, very funny, and I was most paralysed with iaughter for two minutes before I spoke mv piece. Finally I could hold in no longer. I got it off, and waited a second or two for the hearty applause I 'knew would follow but the laugh did not come. I tried again and explained the point, but it was "no go the audience was as etill as if listening to Eli

Perkins or Mark Twain. Then I went behind the scenery and butted my head against a brick wall until it (the wall) wan as soft as Earle's Hamlet,

I will write to you again Irom Adelaide. Just now it is awful hot there, and we wiil stay away as long as possible.

THE POPE'S ENCYDLICAL.

\VARJSIKG THE FAITHFUL AGAINST ,S- SVV SOCIALISTS. The recent encyclical of Pope Leo XII, dated Rome, December

2S, 187S,

was read in all the Cathdlic churches, Sunday. It is addressed •'To our venerable brethren, patriarchs, primates, archbishops and bishops of the whole Catholic world, in grace and in communion with the apostolic see Leo XII, Pope. Venerable brethren, salutation and apostolical benediction,"

It is a very lengthy document but the first paragraph contains the gist of the matter. It reads as follows

In obedience to the duty imposed by our apostolic office, we have not failed from the beginning of our pontificate in encyclical letters which we have addressed to you, venerable brethern, to pein*. out the deadly poison which is creeping through the inmost members of human society, and places it in extreme danger. At the same time we have pointed out to you the most efficacious remedies to enable society to recover its health and escape from the grave peril* which threaten it. But the evils which we then deplored have increased so rapidly that we are again obliged to address you, since the prophet cries in our ear6, "cry aloud, spare not lift up thy voice like a trumpet!" You readily understand, venerable brethren, that we now 6peak of those sects of men who, under different and almost barbarous names, are called socialists, communists or nihilists, and who, scattered through the whole world and closely bound together by an unholy alliance, no longer shelter themselves in the darkness of secrtt cabals, but boldly advance in full dayiight and labor to achieve their purpose long since formed, of undermining the foundations of all civil society. These are assuredly the persons indicated by holy scripture, who "defile the flesh, despise dominion and speak evil of dignities" (or blaspheme majesty.") They leave whole and intact nothing of all that has been wisely established by divine and human laws for the safety and honor of lite they refuse obedience to those higher powers to which the apostle teaches us that every soul mu6t be subject, which derive from God the right to rule, and they preach the absolute equality of all men in rights and dignities they dishonor the natural union of man and woman, 6acred even among barbarous nations, and they enfeeble and give over to caprice that tie by which human society is chiefly restrained. Seduced by that greed for worldly t'.ings which is "the root of all evil," which, while many have coveted, erred from the faitb," they attack the right of property sanctioned by natural law, and, by an abominable crime, while they pietend to pr'ovid for the necessities and desires of man, they labor to take from him and render cpmmon all that is acquired either by legitimate inheritance or by labor of mind or body, or by economy. And they proclaim these monstrous errors in their gatherings, they defend them in pamphlets and scatter thrm among the people by means of a cloud ef newspapers. It results therefrom that the venerable majesty of kings and emperors has become on the part of this seditious populace the subject of such haired that certain abominable traitors, impatient of all restraint have many times within a brief period turned their arms with impious audacity against the heads of states themselves.

THE SECRET OUT.

WHY THE STALE AND.STUP1D MOTHER-IN-LAW JOKE NEVER DIES. From the ciucinnatt GtazeUe.

A halo ot loveliness surrounds the young woman's head in the eye of the lover. Yet it may be a sill}' head, &nd incapable in practicie affairs. Slowly the halo is dissipated, and things appeaV in their natural colors are very commonplace, and are often found full of faults and anno ing ways. The husband may not tell his grief. He must let concealment prey upon his damaged heart, but he tries to get a sort of satisfaction in hostility to the mother of his disappointment.

This is not a manly satisfaction. Indeed, man has but little chance for manly satisfaction for this discontent. Even to admit his disappointment would confess himself a greenhorn, who was no judge of a woman. A man weuld as soon admit that he is no judge of a horse. So he gets a sort of satisfaction, withont confessing that his wife is not what he took her to be, by slights on her mother. And there is a reality in this, for he looks upon her as the first author of his woes.Generally he does not make operf war on own mother-in-law, but he joins in the general scoffing ht the mother-in-law.

Thus do we behold that the universal scoff at the mother-in-law is not merely a witticism for the benefit of the dull brains that have no invention, but that it has a. real cause, dowh deep in the springs that move human nature. And as it has a cause which is permanent, it must continue. The mother must continue to be a martyr to the man's disappointment in her daughter. Therefore, they who use this witticism, in order to avoid the intellectual strain and failure of an attempt at something new, can have the satisfaction that they are instruments of retribution for disappointed husbands.

RICHARD HENRY DANA. The telegraph announces the death of Richard Henry Dana, at Boston, on Sunday last, at the ripe age of

92.

He was

born in Cambridge, Mass., Nov.

17S7.

15,

He was educated at Harvard

university and Newport, R. I. studied law in Baltimore, Md.. in the office, of Robert Goodloe Harper, a distinguished barrister of Maryland, and admitted to the Massachusetts bar in 1811.

He took up his

residence in Cambridge, where he engaged in tbe practice of his profession and also engaged warmly in the politics of tbe dav on the federal side. He was elected to '.he Legislature of his native state, but his tastes being in a literary direction, he forsook active politics and soon found employment more in consonance with his inclinations and tastes in the projection of the famous North American Review. In this literary venture he was joined by a club of gentlemen of Boston and Cambridge. He and Pr«f. E. T. Canning were the pditors of the Review during the years

1818-19,

during which time

his literary efforts attracted considerable attention. His first poems, "The Dying Raven" and the "Husband and Wife's Grave" appeared in the New Yoik Review in

edited by William Culletl

Bryant. These with "Th® Buccaneer" and ether poems attracted considerable attention. In
