Some of the pexnmiary rewards of London journalism derive forcible Dlnstratkw from the will of the late Mr. Johnstone, piupiietoi of the Standard. Not inchiding real property of which be possessed something, the will distributes about 3,000,000, much of which must have been acquired from the sale of bis penny news-pajw. A union of two notable sorthern famines took plane in New York Tuesday by the marriage of Susan Francis Preston to Mr.

Henry Frost. Miss Preston is i daughter of General John 8. Preston, of Columbia, and a niece of Senator Wade Hampton. Mr. Frost is a son of the late Judge Frost, who was an eminent jurist of Charleston.

Since the beginning of the enterprise, goods have been sold to the value of $3,080,000, and have been divided among USB members as profits.

The bank of the society has received from the members 45,000 and has paid back to them in dividends and interest 978,000 while still leaving them share to f3i, ooo, which can be withdrawn whenever needed. Thia (a certainly an encouraging exhibit, considering the fact that the society began with but fifty dollars in its treasury. Considering, also, the provision made for the mental and moral improvement of the members, this workingmen's enterprise must be regarded as a paying investment in the best sense. in time, and if the English societies con tinue to prove successful, we shalfflnH them naturalized on this side of the water. The Wood funding bill was passed yes-terday by the house of representatives.

It provides for the issue of small government bonds, to be known as certificates of deposit, of the denomination of ten dollars; they are to bear interest at the rate of three per cent, and to be convertible into four per cent. bond. The objects of the measure, as explained by Hewr. TTood, Garfield and Chittenden, iKunui ana accelerate tmvjiny cess of re-funding the public debt, to United States securities and est the maintenance of the national credit a large class of people who at present are not fully aware to what an extent their own welfare depends upon the preservation of the public faith. These objects may, in a large measure, be promoted by authorizing the issue of four per cent, bonds of the denomination of twenty-five dollars.

The government cannot wisely and profitably assume to absorb all the small savings of the people. It ought not to go into the savings bank business and undertake to pay depositors on demand or at short notice, as was proposed by an amendment to the bill offered by Mr. Kelley but rejected by the house. Oovtebhob Bishop's message has the statement that there are now but 5, 1 acres of timbered land in Ohio against 8.749,838 acres in 1870. At the same rate of destruction but a few years would be needed to cause the entire disappearance of the forests of that state.

This reckless haste in felling the timber in order to secure an immediate return from it, is part and parcel of a system of farming under I which, to obtain large crops for a few seasons, the soil is exhausted without regard to after consequences. Under these circumstances, voices are raised in favor of forestry the apgiointment of inspectors of forests." and, in short, the i adoption of the plan in vogue on the Ku- ropean continent. But our people arc not at all prepared to accept such a system of government regulation and supervision. Probably, they may begin to consider the idea seriously when there are no forests left to protect. The pending bill to make United States notes receivable in payment of customs duties is objectionable chiefly because it makes no provision for a possible re-sus- pension of specie payments a contingency which cannot be regarded as If it should occur, the government's supply of coin for payment of interest on the public debt would be cut off and, unless new legislation could at once be secured, the public credit would suffer a severe shock.

It is to be hoped that the bill will not become a law without an amendment guarding against such a calamity. If Senator Windom really desired the welfare of the colored people at the south, and the elimination of sectionalism from politics," he could not fait to see that both ends would be reached by the death of the sectional party which, in the attempt to use the negro for the manufacture of party capital, makes htm an object of hate. Of course, the Iowa senator's emigration, scheme is not brought forward In good faith, but simply to give him the doubtful honor of leading the way, if possible, to another political debate. The enterprising town of Bradford is about to assume the dignities and responsibilities of city hood. At the election last November its inhabitants by an almost unanimous vote declared for a charter and the document itself arrived from Harris-burg Wednesday.

It will go into effect the first Monday in April next, when city officials to be elected on the 18th of February will take the oath of office. The new city will start off with something over ten thousand inhabitants. Success to it As expression of opinion from the legislature of this state upon, so important an event as the resumption of specie payments, is proper and reflects the sentiment of the people of New York. But as a rule declarations upon affairs belonging to tne sphere of federal power, if they are not of vital importance, should be discouraged. The legislature cannot exercise any influence to speak of upon national affairs, and where it has nq power its opinion is of little consequence.

He abcrt the same i meats of the day. as Baate hash to Frames, Bwitssriand and Germany. He was just on the border line. No party knew whether he belonged to them or to their enemies, and It is by no means improbable that he did not know himself, 1 tried also to nod the university, which is said to be one of the best in Switzerland, but whether my failure in this was due to the insignificance of the buildings themselves or to the Umited amount of time at my disposal or to my foreign accent, is uncertain.

From Basle to Heidelberg proved to be a longer ride than I had suppoeed and a longer than the time table gave one any reason to suspect. The railroad doe not run, like she New York Central, along the banks of the river, but runs at once so far Inland that no signs of the Rhine are anywhere visible. The windows of the right aide of the car looked out on the dense masses of the Black forest. The imps and fairies that formerly held Doanaston of these dark glens and trackless wastes, have been frightened away by the scream of the locomotive. Wall made carriage roads now thread the forest everywhere; they are waQ used, too, in summer by multitudes of traveler.

The Black forest, at least as seen from a railroad car, becomes somewhat moootoooua after a few hours. We saw nothing of any very great interest till Appenwaier was reached- We were then only a few miles from 8rraburg. The spire of the great cathedral, the loftiest In the work! without exception, which withstood so wonderfully the Prussian sheik in the terrible bombardment of 19M. could be distinctly seen, at least we were told so, after reaching Heidelberg. Away to the right, as we passed through Dos, we oouid seeand did.

The name Charles rest is significant The founder of the town had some difficulty with the people of Durlach and eat himself down here, with the avowed purpose of being contented and happy. He did all in hi power to huild a beautiful city around bin palace. His guccutwoni have followed la hi footsteps, till to-day not only a grand duke, but a king hitn-telf might be satiafled to rest awhile in Carb ruhe.

It is now the home of the daughter of a king and emperor. The wife of the present Tratid dake of Baden is the only daughter of tvainer Wilbelni. The venerable (ierman em jKjror usually upends some weeks of the summer either here or (n Baden, where the grand 'luUo has another palace.

Probably his duti nation was Heidelberg, and we must toe rapidly nearing the place. A few momenta and we were in the outskirts of the city, a few momenta more and the train stopped at the sta tion.

The first view of Heidelberg from the rail road is by no means impressive. A long bust neas street, a pleasant avenue called the Aulap, running between rows of trees and comforta ble residences, a river on one aide of the train, and naountains on both, it would be aome such I picture that a' traveler, hurriedly hastening tlirough, would carry away with turn. But there are few who can spend a week there without vielding to the fascinations of the i place. A walk at sunset to the old castle is usually sumcient to conquer -all but the most bstinate. He mo have a vivid ltnagination indeed, whose conception of what a grand old ruin should be, is not met and surpassed by thi huge mass which was once the princely homo of the electors Pali tin ato.

He must have a dull imagination Indeed, who can walk through the great court and into the high hall, whose vaulted roofs ban than three hundred years ago rang with the laughter of many of the moat cultured lords and ladies In all Europe, without seeing mora than crumbling stones and shattered statues. But to stand on the great terrace as the sun dips low in the west behind the Rhine, to watch the Neckar as it sweeps around the base of the hill at your feet, and on through the town and valley to resign at Man beim its personality in the waters of the more famous river, to look across to the Heillgen i herg covered wtb vineyards ami crowned with the rums of an old abby, to aee the broken towers and windows of the castle for a moment in the fading sunlight, and then the lighted gas ln the streets, and the long rows of lamps far out into the valley beside the railroad. This is tlie picture which all who choose may carry away with them from Heidelberg, and which, travel where they may, will long remain unrivalled. But the name of this town, tike that of Oxford or Cambridge, recalls at once the fame of its cjcrvataatTT. English and Ajnericans have expected to find there stately and beautiful buildings like those on the Cam or the bus or the 8t.

Charles. It is almost impossible for them to believe that the square, stuccoed, barrack-like structure which has been pointed out as the object of their search, is in reality the university Iteelf. Even the aruurancea of the most solemn-look- ng releasors, wbo neither Joke themselves, uor understand the jokes of others, are scarcely sumcient to convince them They must have misunderstood what was meant. The ear sometimes fails to catch the proper tneaning of German words. This surprise gradually van ishes, after a visit to two or three other university towns.

The buildings are about the same everywhere. When one considers the purpose for which they are designed, be will become gradually reconciled to the change which hia conceptions must undergo. The German uni versity is in every way a complete contrast to the English or American. The students are under no restraint whatever. They may attend lectures or not, ss they see fit.

The university as they see fit. The universjlv offlcen have far leas to do with the government of tbe students than tbe police. The one purpose of these institutions. Is to offer for a merely nominal price to tbe young men who wish to hear tbem, tbo best lectures on tbeol- ufejr, law, medicine, philosophy, sdence and art, which the wisdom of this century can For such a purpose, only plain lecture balls and well-equipped laboratories are need M. These are found at Heidelberg and in all 1 the Ot.hor OT ar4ww.li Ka, aama Mnlr IT.ii- those who wish to study, these Institutions are like rare tit-bits.

Tin of committees of the assembly ami iLiiin-d by the sneaker yesterday bears in the main the predictions of our i A'li'Hny eorrespondent. The post of honor, i at tin- head of the ways and means com- rnittce is chivalrously, or otherwise, anriied to Mr.

Alvord's rival in the late t'ontp-t. while Mr. Husted, the man who mailt- the sieaker. is content to remain in the lull ktrround and be the power behind i the throne. Of the Erie county members Mr Hurt! of the fourth district, is the iurky man.

Besides having been active the winning side, he is said to be relat- nl to Mr. Alvord, and he has his reward in the chairmanship of the committee on canals. Mr. Hayes, the chairman of last year, being this year placed at the head of the committee on affairs of cities. The canal interests of Buffalo and the state at large have no reason to complain of Mr.

Hurd's advancement. As an Erie county man he is of course thoroughly committed to the free ranal policy, and he will no doubt do all he can-in his important position to secure its success. Mr. Hurd's abilities are limited, but his disposition is all right, and we are glad to see him where be is. The other Erie county men, being new members, had no right to expect much and they probably are not disappointed.

Mr. Gentsch, of the first district, is sixth on the committee on claims, fifth on federal relations and fifth on expenditures of the executive department. Mr. Swift, of the second district, is on the committee nn internal affairs and public printing. Mr.

Roberts, of the third, gets the second place on the important committee on gent-mi laws is chairman of the committee on civil divisions and is also on privileges and elections. The fifth district representative, Mr. Johnson, who alone of his associates voted for Sloan, is shelved in the committee on petitions of aliens and on grievances. As for the democrats they are mostly nowhere. A KOBKOH CEIBI8.

The recent decision of the United States supreme court, affirming the constitution-: ality of the act of congress to prevent and punish the practice of polygamy in the territories of the United States, has created prcat excitement among the Mormons. It seem the latter fully believed that polygamy cimhl not be reached by congressional legislation, and that the statute would never be enforced. It has, indeed, Wen a dead letter for sixteen years. If now earnestly it wiH subject the Mormons to Rcriouj penalties and their polytramou.1 wires and illegitimate children to great hardships. The delegate of the territory.

Cannon, himself a Mormon, making considerable efforts to secure relief for his co-religionists. Under thne circumstances, a chance may he afforded to solve satisfactorily the problem of polygamy in Utah, if there is Kutfinent statesmanship for that purpose at Washington. The policy of the government must be to break up the practice in the future, rather than to punish offenses which were committed in the past and which trie government has so far failed to prevent or punish. If the Mor-iqq are disposed in good faith to give up the obnoxious practice, amnesty for the Mint should not be denied them. Judicious legislation, exposing those who in future enter upon polygamous marriages not only to criminal prosecution but also to dinad vantages in their property rights, abridging their freedom in the matter of the disposition of property by will or gift amt denying polygamous wives the right to Iw-ar the names of their pretendedJiu8-bawU, may go far to break up a practice which is now in any event doomed.

Ik common with other state executives Gov. McClellan of New Jersey calls attention to the subject of county and muni-eip indebtedness. As the result of his own inquiries, he finds that the nine cities of the state are burdened with an Aggregate debt of $36,502,722, or nearly one-sixth of their taxable property. While the state tax rate per $1,000 was but a dollar last year and will probably be reduced one-half this year, since the gen eral debt has Iwcome insignificant-, in amount, the rate in these cities ranges from $15 to in other words, of the $5,044,734 taxation levied upon the property of the citizens, only $223.998 is un account of the state. Under these cir-rumatances.

Gov. McClcJlan not only pointi out the necessity of "reducing city expenditures but takes occasion to say that the people must realize the fact "that this work is their own; that it is as much each man's affair as the managc-" mem of the business which yields him his daily support and that unless they take it up in solemn earnest very little good can be accomplished." It is time the el asses thus addressed by the New Jersey governor-began also to appreciate tnr fact that the dream of suffrage restric tion or of other radical changes in our yMem of municipal government, cannot realized, and tliat no step in the road to retrenchment will be taken so long as they continue to remain mere lookers on in Venice." There seems to be no doubt of the suc- Cfs of co-operative societies in England. Tltey now number fourteen hundred, and most of them are increasing iivmember-hip and influence. A notable instance ln Ioof of the floarUhiag oob-uuion of the movement afford bonds," which we suppose to tie the refunding bill recently approved by the common council.

The fame of this fickle-miiaded Alpine queen has gone everywhere, so that we knew what we urght expect We started early Monday morning, after our delightful rest of the Sabbath, but our Buffalo friends had taken even an earlier departure in the oppuaite direction. thought of them as we sailed up the lake, and hoped that Houthern Bwlteerland would 1hiw to them as many beauties as she had to us. UV white beads of mountains now, where on the Saturday before we had seen only thick, white clouds. Grand old Pilatus with his melancholy grayjface, looked majestically dowep upon us.

Above the peaks which encircled the lake, the snow-covered ranges of the higher Alps rose every few moments into view as we breathed the tresh morning air and azed upon this scene of wondrous beauty. We were sorely tempted to use our (strongest adjectives at once, but we remembered that if the Rigi was at all propitious, we would have still groater need of them before many bourn, and became more economical of our ammunition, firing only now and then in our excite ment a single barreled salute. We took our places, after much crowding, in one of the three cars standing on the inclined track waiting for the wild animal-like locomotive to butt them up the cliff. The little creature snuffed and snorted tremendously as it had a right to, for in some places the road rises A FOOT Df KVEKY POCB- Tbc contrivances for clamping the cars to the track, in case of accident, rose in interest with the steepness of the grade. There were times when we all gave up talking, and looked at these intently.

We were also somewhat comforted with the statistical report, which show this to be one of the safest railways in Europe. In a little more than an hour, this panting beast behind us had boosted us up to the top As we were on the right side of the car toward the lake, the views all the way up were ex ceedingly beautiful- We felt that in a meas ure we had outwitted this whimsical lady, by thus looking upon some of her fairest treasure before she was fullv aware of our presence. You are not only reminded of Mt. Washington I by this peculiar combination of the steam engine and the elevator, but, especially on a cloudy day, the scene at (he top will recall to remembrance your experience on the loftiest of the New Kngland peaks. Apparently the same crowd you saw five or ten years ago, wanning themselves between looks at the great stove piled with wood, are here undergoing the same piDcess.

The height of the two mountains is the same, within a few feet. But if the day is reaeonably clear the scene may remind you of Mt. ashlngton rather by contrast than by nsnmblance. An immense stretch of country spreads out before you, when you stand on that pinnacle of the White mountains; you look dawn on green neids, prosperous villages, teeming cities; beyond Portland yon may catch the gleam of the sun on the ocean. But from the Rigi you look out not only on fields and villages and cities and lakes, but on TOT BfOCaTPAJLLBB ALPS themselves piercing the horizon with their majestic white beads.

The most patriotic American will need to gaae on all tins only for a few moments if he is honest before being ready to acknowledge that while in general we surpass the rest of the world in everything, in this particular instance we must yield the palm. 1 bad found the companionship of my two New York friends, whom I had met accident ally at Geneva, so very pleasant throughout our whole Hwiss tour that I was loath to sav good-bye to them in lascerne. But the time had come for our paths to separate, they re turning to Paris and I going on into Germany. It was with something of sachjasa mat I looked back as the train niabed rapidly on over famous battle fields and the sites of Roman villas toward-the Rhine. It was at Bempech, a few miles from Uaosrne, that Arnold Winkeh-ied swept the long Austrian lances into his breast.

"to open," as be said, "a path to freedom'' His comrades pushed through the breach that he had made, and the phalanx that had stood Immovable before 0m bra 'onslaughts of a whole army was conquered by the aelf-aacri- fice of one man. Just before feaching Basle passed another batie-AekL St. Jacob's, where stands a pillar surmonn ted by a figure of Helvetia, with four dying soldiers, with the in scription, "Our souls to God, our bodies to the enemy." Here, it is said, in 1414, a little band of 1,300 Swiss stood for hours against a French army of 30,000, stood till all but fifty were struck down by the enemy's arrow or swords. I had expected, on leaving Lucerne, to rule all night, reaching Heidelberg early the next A.

It was a beauti ful moonlight night, and from the win daws of the hotel I could book down on the bCeok, limmerint waters of the Rhine At Andermatt we were within a few miles of its soaros, bat this was the first time I had ever stood by this river, whose banks beyond Mayeoce are lined with castles, whose very rocks have their legends, whose fame has been sung in a thousand poems, and whose name has a larger and more perma nent place in European history than that of any monarch, be be a Charlemagne or a Napoleon. There was time enough the next snorning, before the train started, to see snmething of this old town, whose pedigree can be traced back to a Bom fualiusi built by the Kmpetor Valeo-thuaa.

In making this cor-rection we are led to remark that the canal toll sheet is a fearfully complicated and difficult affair anyway. It should be first materially simplified, and then abolished. It is to be hoped that the investigation of the cipher dispatches will not be prevented or postponed by the lack of the necessary funds.

If these are refused because a two-thirds majority cannot be secured for an appropriation, the responsibility should rest wholly upon the republicans. Democrats could certainly not afford to share in it. The proceedings of the recent annual meeting of the Charity Organization Society are receiving marked attention from the prese of leading cities.
