My attentlon was strongly called to that fact some thine ago, when & traveling actruss, one of the Ravels—well known, 1 think, in the Statea —fell from u trapeze and instantly kilied herself, Under the pen of a skilled sensational artist this acchlent could have been developed Into a column or two of thrill- ng literature, that, read at the breakfast-tahle, wotthl have been cquul to a rare heefsteak. But the reporters wasted thetr opportunity, and the notlee appeared {n a few shart lluea, suying that Madame Havel had fallen in such a manner, from such o caunse, and with such a result, and the audience was dismissel; why, the bumble mechantc who was run over by the street-var had an obituary of cqual length. Binca nuthing is done in o hurry In this coun- try, there is no feverish rivalry” botween the néts-gatherers, and but little wear and tear of night-editors. Urobably they think that, If stale bread Is healthy, stala news must be equally conducive to long life; and, If {t Is wrong to pry iuto the future, it must be at least inju- dicious to follow tou closely upon the heels of the present. Fur this reason, It ls o common or‘?\x’:rnnm tor local ftems to begin with the wor “DAY BEFORE YESTERDAY;" and a musical or dramatic review is rarely, if ever, orescnted to tho public on the morning after the event, The critie zoes homie, cools oll, gets over the glamour of Margared's or Aida's eyes, and, as it were, slecps over the orchestra, breakfasts on the tenor, and dines upon the first lady; and in this manuer be pro- duces a afspassionate and just review, which s printed on the following day, and Is worthy of a place In literature. Forelgn telegrains are scanty,—conslating of & few lines [rom cach of the leading cotfee-mar- kets of the world, with a few more from tha seat of war; but such us they are. they ure bonest aud in their true proportions, and are not pudded for display. Brazl is not celebrated for lier enterprise In manufactures, and the ary ot manuincturing her own cable-dispatches is something that she has yet to leaen, NEWS ¢HOM HOME {s equaily scarce, and usually of no thritling fin- portance, For instance, we learn that a San Francisco pliotogeapher succeeded in “getting Rose Eytinge when she was In bathing oue days amnd that a Texas Judge sentenced a prisoner to be hanged the vext morning, because the prison was very cold; they had not bed-clothing onough for the prescut lmnates; and he did not want to prolong tho wretch's sullerings b{ keeping lim over winter, One morning searched the paper through to see what 1 could find in this line, and there were but two fteins, and they were comparatively unlmportant, One said that a certain violinlst, whuse name I torizet, had neeived In New York fruin Mexico; and the other was to the offect that a littls girl, 4 years old, bad been polsoned by wearlig striped stockings. And all of this timo the paper never mentloned a word about Cox's chances for the Speakership, - The Braxilian papers are not without humor, which Is not broad, but Is quiet ani of A VRRY ENJOYABLE NATURE, Here, ns elsewhere, the Pollee-Court roporter {8 tha butnorist,—proving concl ualvv.-li- that wiat Is one man’a misery isanother’s fun, all the worll over.

The conductorof the principal fllustrat- cd paper, the Jitustrated Keview, is an artist of unquestioned genlus, whose deawings, most of them volitical, are probably not excelled any- where in the world, His picturos are the em- bodlment of delicate humor without gross dis- tortlon and caricature, or uffenaive carncstness, —a conaitlon which our comic artists would do well to imitate, Leaving the mefinas and the svatem of By Request*? out of consideration, the newspapers of Riv—of which thero are perhaps a dozen of {mportance—aro of very creditable tono; and to bo o journalist down’ hers means somcthing more thau to be a Paul Pry or o Jefferson Brick, —— CAN'T DO WITHOUT IT.

PHILLIPS AND EMERSON. The Coinclidence of Their Recent Addresses to Boston Andiencos Gilves an Excelient Opportanity for Compnring the Two in Yoluta of Shnrply-Marked Difference, Spectal Correspondence of The Tribune. BostoNn, Feb. 20,—Marsachusetts has two men, now three score and ten fu years, but with intellect as clenr and strong as ever, whom Bos- toh from different points of view ahwava de- lichts to honor, One is Wendell Philiips; the other is Ralph Walde Emerson. Each has his own set of followers, but cach always has a crowd whenever he speaks. They arc charace terlstic New England men, and, whatever may bu thelr natlonal reputation, they never scem more at home than when spesking to a charac- teristle Boston audicnce. It has jast happened that they have spoken within twenty-four hours ol vue anotlier, on esseutially the same sub- Ject, fn this city, and the coincidence gives such an excellent opportunity for compating the fwo in° poluts of sharply-marked differcoce, thst I cannot but think that such a comparison will interest your readers. MR. PHILLIPS LECTURED on Sunday afternuon before tne Free Religlous Association. Here he wasat home. His wud(- enco welcomed tho freest statement of his uplnions whether in politics or religion. Tome the Interest of tho occasion was the man him- sell. 1t is not often that you can hear himnow, and the arch enemy may soon take him hence. o ls almost as much of a monument ot other days s his inthoate friend and co-worker, Will- fam Lloyd Garrison, who {s nowa halo and brisk old gentleman, liviog on borrowed time and feellng that he has dono good work for his generation. But his eye is not yet dlm, nor s that peenliar power which he learned forty years ago while stumping New England in the slavery agitation departed from him, With walstcoat ™ buttoned, a man of more than the avernge size, his presence commanding thourh not. Ime ng, he stood far an hour bes fure a thousand people, holding their clusest at- tentlon, never for a mument hesitating for a word, never taklng his eyo ol the people, sel- dom rising in his speech’ beyond the colloguial frecdotn of good conversation, 1IE SPORB SLOWLY, suggesting reserve strength, and confined his catures mainly to his rlght hand, and very reely to the use uf the extended forefinger, but there was such aignity, Just that remove from the audlence which taught thst, while he was oneof them, he wos yet. their teacher, in his speech ond in its method, that his discourse zeemed like the utlerance of a master spirit, and the charn of his wanner was not more marked shan the choicc and simple Englisn which he used, or the vigor and clearness of his idens. Once or twice be got blsses, as when hio turyed bitterly oo New Eugland for disloyalty o tho great American flea, but It was Sunday, nmll he withheld himself froma characteristle reply. MR. EMERSON TO-DAY, was almost the opposite of Mr. Phiilios yester- day, Natin nnIv £enso an orator, o tall, slender flzure,—now a Httle bout with ycars, his gray lialr straggling over & crown partially bald, his features more sharply-cut than cver, his tnanner 08 coy anid bashiul as that of a malden entering sociely for tho first time, his vyes ns sharp on his audience ns ever and hardly dimmed, he stood to-day fn the Old South Church before anawdienca of from 1,000 to 1,500 persons, in singular harmony with the Rovolutionary refivs around him. The feeling that it might bo Itulph Waldo Emeraon's last public appearance had no doubt quickened inany ta come, but it is no slight tribute to the respoct and affection which Boston fcels for perhups her grentcat genius that so large a number of peoplo guthered out of her busy streets to bear what the Concord philasopher had to say on “The Future of the Reunbllc." Mr, Emerson s no orator, and, apart from the delight which all educated peovle have in the welvome surpriscs of his discourse, there la nouw but tittle charm {n bis delivery, Ouc. bis very Lashifulness and hesltation, giving you the fecling that lie revercd his own thought and folt himself to be nothing, was THE SPELL WINCH NELD 1118 &vnmscl. but now his volce fs o broken that he cannot be heard, by inore than 200 people with distinct- ness, and only thoss who aro nearcat him can Iyol the old-time magic of nls winged words, Yet sometbing heid hia lurgo sudience to-day, It they could not hear nim, so apell-bound that you could almost hear a pln drap,—it may have been the eatisfaction of looking at the man himeelf, or tho hushed lccling of awe which wo all haye In the presvnce of enius, ‘Lhhe audiouce itsslf was characteristic, Literary and professional men wore numerous, Mr. Bronson Alcott, 3r.

IN COMPARING PRILLIPS AND BMERSON, vou cotupars the Artstotellan with the Platunlsi juth lectured on the future of the country, an buth urged that the peovule made the codutry but Mr. Phillips vapped New England richt and left, because he felt that Its presa and state i lind shown distrust In universal suffruge, while Mr, Emerson pleaded for tho rights of the fudividual as the surcst wuy to tive the whole vountry tts proper personality, The one went directly luto the causes of “distrust lo the fres vote of vvery wian, beeause of Its obuse fn tho citles, and charged thelr corruption where it belongs, with a severity which showell disteust and hates the other hefd the samo viows, aluded tu tho same things, felt the abuse just as keen- 1y, but spuke in terms which lndicated hape and od cheer and the bollef that this country is "3- great charity of God for the human ae THE ONE 00T HISSED; TUE OTUER WAS AL- WAYS APPLAUDED.

Scientific men regard It as his greatest discovery, and predict that it will some day prove of immense value, Menlo Park Is a small place on the line of the New York & Philadeiphia’ Rallroad, two miles north of Metuchin.

Bpectal Correrpondence of The Tritune, Dus Moixnas, Ia., Fob. 20.—Matters havo heen running nlong o smoothly with the public in- stitutions in this Stato for many years, under the flattering reports blennfally madeto the Legtstature, that everybody has supposeid that they were all right but some of them make a very bad showiug at the present seselon. PONT MADISON PENITENTIARY, The Committee to visit this Institutlon come back without a whitewash brush, and call tho attention of the Lemalature to tho discoverics they made. Tho fncome of the institution for the biennial perlod, aslde from the State appro- printion of $40,447.01, was 801,472.53, of which £72,330.03 was from convict labor, and &19,- 13259 from other sources. There during tho perlod convicts to the amount of 8,554 months, which, at $8.83% per month, the rate allowed by law for support, would make a total of ~ $71.283.31, which, deducted from the $01,47453, would leave o balance of $20,180.19. 'This being the case, the Committes do not undarstand ‘why the Warden should draw from the 8tate over 840,000 for nuprurl. of convicts, when, aecording to his.own boolks, the institution was scif-supporting, with a balance io its favor; mor Ll they ascertnln what had been done with the mmwfl' They olso found that over 85,000 bad been pald for tobacca for the convicts, to chew with thelr quid of desolation, The Warden hns sold the waste from the kitchen and table, as the Warden admits, to the amount of $500 per year, and put it {n his pocket, The Committee think it is double that. They also find that contracts have been lot for furnishing striped goods at t4 centa per yard, which experts have deciared would be profitable ot 23 cents: and they brought the sainples with them for leg- islative inspection. Theyalso find every dollar of the avpropriation for Improvements oxpaended, with very littls to ahow for It3 and, In this con- nection, they call attention to the fact that the coutracts, it let to the loweat bidder according to Jaw, bear tho singular colncldence that the lowest bidder for the four contracts wus ono and the same persou; and that the bids cor- responded exactly with the appropriations made by the Legislaturo for the fmprove- ments, They recommend that a Com- mittes be ° sent there to investi- gate the truc jnwardness of the ‘wholo maangement. ‘The Legtslature has adopt- cd the suggestion, and o Committee will zo this week: and it remains to be seen whether or not the thlnz Commitiee were mistaken la thelr conclusions, Warilen Cralg says they were, and ho can prove it.

The Black-Hillers have struck the rialt lead fn their proposition to divide Dakota Ter. ritory north sod south, on the Iundredth Moridian, just far enouzh cast of Ris. marck and the Missourt River to Include 600 miles of the fertile Valley of the Diz Muddy, They will have tho sympathy, and probably the active asslstance, of the Montana Delegate, tho Wyoming Delegate, the two Nebraska Scn. ators, and the wholo Minnesota delegation. ‘With such a local Influence, the Lincoln-Ter. ritory schemers stand a far better chance in Congress than when they were fightlag Wyom- iog and Montana. Even the Dakota Delegate, Mr. Kidder, will not growi very loud against the effort to divide Dakota on the Hundredth Merldian. If he does, the Hiils will aco that he never returns to Congress agaln {n tho capaclty of a Delegate. Iis per- sonal luterests would favor tho schome, na the division would take tha uncontrollable miners out of his district, anifl set asido his ambitious rivals {n Bisnarcik. 1lo would havo a far casler success in the next Republican Convention it he cou{v.l let tho division occur under his gentlo protest, ‘Fna new Territory would embrace the wealth and vopulation of the Ilills, Forts Sully, Staud- ing Rock, Rice, Lincoln, Stevenson, Berthold, Buford, the C|';y of Bismarck, the scores of stations on tha Custer and Fort Picere routes tothe Hills, tho rauches on the mail-routes to Bufurd, and 'ranf(ue River, and Fort Sullv,— vovering o totat distance of 1,800 miles. Then the Northern Pacific Extenslon west would givo the new Territory about 200 mliles of thu great Northern route to the Puclfic, and all tho population and development that will nccessarily follow tho bullding ol the road. As it stands, thcre aro forty-five miles of the Northern Pacific in tho pruposed division. Agaln, tha prospects of narrow-gauge rallroads from Cheyennc and Bisinarck into the killls arogood.

Fort Buford, 226 miles northwest of Iitse marck, complaing that the weather continues so mild that the work of cutting lee has been susponded, and bhalf u crop only has beon ,gathered, 1n order to fill the Gov- crnment {ce-house, a lengthy cold snap must occur, which 18 very improbable. The other important crop, wood, is Jarge. The minl wine tery and tho increaso of wood-yards amd chop- ners, have conspired to make tho article very plenty.
