The National will compare favorably with any of the British reviews. The contents of this number are as follows:—‘‘Dante,” “Godwin's History of France,” “The Modern Prench Grammar,” “The Works of Charles Dickens,"’ ‘The Nineteenth Cen- tury,” “4 Glance at the Fine Arta," “The Poems of Elizabeth Barrett Browning,” ‘Italy, Past and Present, ‘Notices and Criticisms.” In reviewing ‘‘Godwin's France” the writer shows that the principal part of the work is borrowed from the charming pages of Michelet, and cou- cludes by ridiculing with great effect the author's absurd affectation of the ancient spelling of foreign Proper names, in which, too, he is not always cor- Tect; as for example, in the use of the letter K, which was not a Roman letter. He writes Kymbri for Cimbri, and Keltic for Celtic; and Charlemagne he calla Karl, and sometimes Karl the Great; while Charles Martel is “Karl the Hammer,” thus trans- lating one half the name into German and the other half into English; for Clovis he writes Chlodwig; for Louis he writes Ludwig (just imagine Ludwig XIV. of France), and so of other names. “The New American Cyclopedia” is handled without gloves. An extract will amuse our readers:— We are aware that it isa serious matter to this work with any other language than that and admiration.

Nor are grammar and slang by avy means the worst faults of the latter, It is but rarely that we find either their ts or their dates correctly stated, bat calculated to mislead rather than to guide. Yet we must not blame the editors, It may be doubted whether any two men could have doue “better with the resources at their command. They cannot be ted to make brick without straw. If Diderot and Alembert, Ephraim Chambers and Dr. Rees, or Sir David Brewster aud Prof. Napier, could have been in their place, they could hardly have procured sufficient of the right sort of matter for a cyclopedia at the rate of two dollars per octavo page, in small type aud double colump—that is, about one cent and & half, or fourths of a penny, a line. We all know that if men ca- pable of writing what is worth reading contribute at this rate, they must have some stronger motive than the Aunount of cash they would receive at the eud of the month or quarter for any given number of lines or pages. This Will, perhaps, account for the number of persona that have so suddenly been made illustrious in the new cyclo. pedia, and it may also throw some light on the process: by Which certain manufacturing companies haye, ia an equally mysterious mauner, placed themselves above all rivals, 80 aS to serve as models forever after to all who are in search of ‘general kuowledge.” (For example, see articles on iron, and kindred subjects } Itwould be some. what amusing, if not instructive, to glauce over the nine volumes now published, and see how many\scores of per- sons have been mace famous in this way, ‘The manner in which the whole busiuess\of immortal. izing is done iu the new Cyclopwdia is yery simple.

Our City Letter Despatch—a Proposed form. Re! TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD, New York, July 2, 1360. One of the most important subjects to a commer cial community, except, indeed, it be next in va- lue to the press, is the perfecting of a system of postage. or mail—and such a one as cannot be tri- fied with by companies or individuals. In this re- spect we have—notwithstanding all the warnings the department seem to have received in succession, one after another—only to deplore the fact that we are still behind the age, and constantly subject- ed to enormous outlays, unsatisfactory negotia- tions, extraordinary delays and vexing disappoint- ments. If such “freaks” on the part of speculators are to be submitted to, the government had better at once withdraw the department altogether, and leave it in the hands of private individuals, who will, throngh compen with each other and an object to outdo each other also, very shortly carry our mail matter in one-half the time and at one half the cost. I had hoped, from some few external reforms which have been made—more by force of public ry than by consideration for public good— it a new era was about to dawn upon the postal | Qrrangements of America. But when I see it stated in public print that the letter carriers of this city amount in the whole to only ninety, it proves beyond a doubt that “not one-fourth of the city mail matter goes through the United States mail department.” The sequel to this is, that a “private express” will deliver letters abead of mail time. This canbe proved by any party placing two letters—one in an express box and another ina lamp-post box—addressed to the same spot. What such a city as New York requires is an ent delivery and collection from sunrise to sunset. The department now carry “city drop letters” for one cent, without delivery charge; and they now es notice that the mcroenp charge upon all letters to be one cent, in lieu of two. Let the depart- ment now sweep away this tax altogether, and de- liver all letters for the postage paid, and pay their carriers out of the department. It is this system which works so well in England, and ke 2 not here? The public can have no right to pay for what has already been obviously pre- But another and by far the most important point to be gained by such an arrangement is the saving in time by having no collection. Whilst a carrier can deliver about thicty letters an hour, allowing bw J two minutes for a servant to come to the door then fetch the dimes, they would be able to deliver four times that number by the public cansing ‘‘letter slips’ to be pent pisee upon their houses, thus saving all trouble waiting at the door. Will the Hrraxp turn the wheel ? An Americ: Vidoeq. [From the New Orleans Picayune, June 2 One Nathan Maroney has been convicted at Mont- gomery, Alabama, of robberies committed upon Adams’ Express Company, of which he was agent, to the amount of $53,000. He planned his rogue- ries so adroitly, and secured his spoil so successful- ly that, although suspected and discharged, it took ten months of constant surveillance by a skillfal de- tective, and a most ingeniously contrived series of plots, to get proof against him and recover the money. The exposure was so perfect that he final- ly pleaded guilty, and received the sentence of ten Years imprisonment in the Alabama Penitentiary. The police agent, to whom the affair was entrust- ed, was one Allen Pinkerton, a’detective policeman of celebrity in Chicago. He was sent for to Mont- gomery, and had the full confidence of the compa- ny, who, having paid the money, were extremely anxious to pt the faithless agent, and if possi- ble to recover the fifty thousand dollars, which ne ee convinced had not been parted with. ¢ rogue and his accomplice were hunted back- wards and forwards through a circuit of thousands of miles of travel; every movement, from day to day, and every night, watched and noted. Spies were set about them in their most confidential hours; their intimates were pressed into the service against them; and finally a detective brought into contact with the rogue, under such circumstances as to gain his confidence, be accepted asa counsellor, and obtain actual ion of the money in trust. Maroney stole the money from the private pouch of the ¢: company—ten thousand dollars at one time, fort, thousand dollars at another, and, we believe, thousand at another. The ten thousand mg were employed in the purchase of cotton in ith Carolina.” The forty thonsand dollars package was put ina box and sent by ex- press to Galveston, in Texas, under a fictitious name. It remained there till April, when it was ; ordered to Natchez. He went to Natchez for it, recovered it, and secreted it in Montgomery. Maroney had a wife, or rather lived witli a wo- man whom he made his wife, during these affairs, who was his confederate. She went North and took up her residence at Jenkintown, in Pennsyl- vania, with a brother-in-law, She came South, got the mouey and had it buried in her brother-in-law’s cellar.

Their route, after leaving Gregory’s was up Boulder creek to the snowy range. The party were obliged to shovel a trail hrough the snow from two to twenty foet for two miles before reaching the summit of the range, and in descend- ing the weater:. «lope of the renge about the same amount of shoveling snow was neceasary before reaching the margin of the Middip Park, The scenery in the Middle Park is re- Presented ag very beautiful and pleasing. 1t is one succes- sion of gently sloping hills, broad open valleys, and bot- toms greatly surpassing anything of the kind known on the eastern slope, both in beauty and richness of the soil and luxuriant growth of vegetation.

There ry ditch being dug which will furnish water to valuable claims which cannot be worked at present for want of water, The ditch will ly be finished in two or three weeks when news from this vicinity will be more cheering. From the Ai , there are various reports as to the richness of | ja and other guiches running into it, but which we do not consider reliable, We give them as they come to us. Sluicers are said to clear from = hundred to one thousand dollars per day working five men, and from fifty to seventy dollars per day to the man is considered no extraordivary yield. From a friend whom we know, and can depend upoh,we learn he has three claims in California gulch as good as there are in it, and has been working his claims for two weeks ; he averages from twelve to sixteen dollars per day to the man, and thinks ita fair average of the whole region. There’ may be a few cases where pockets are found that tarn out Jarge amounts, but such are rare. The whole gulch can hardly. be expected to be made of sudh pocketa. Business in this sity is, geacrally speaking, dull. There has been little or no improvement for the last two months. Real estate does not command ag good prices as some two or three months since. Money is Pie and tight. It being the basis of all business here, of course little can be done during such a condition of the money market. Money commands readily twenty to twenty two per cent month, with real estate security. ‘There is hardly a day passes ‘but we hear of Indiaus committing some slight depredations on st, lersor more Fomote settlers on e8 where there js little to fear from overpowering numbers of the whites.

Another murder has been committed in our midst. Frank Hadley, formerly from the eastern part of Ne- braska, was arrested on Friday last for the murder of J. B. Card, formerly from Quincy, Minois. The parties were driving teams in the employ of John Farrier, a freighter, ere returning to the river. Hadjey had beon in his em} some time. Card was hired at Golden City and was unused to driving cattle, and mate very awkward work of it, The wagon master was absent from the train most of the time, settling his business affairs preparatory to returniag, and bad left Hadley in charge of the train. Hadley took every occasion offered by Card’s awkward biunders in driving to curse aod abuse him, calling him all manner of names ex cept a gentleman. rd put up with it as best he could till on Wednesday night, on driving into a corral for the night, about four miles’ below this city, Card made another blunder, and was the recipient of the usaal Amount of cnrses and personal abuse from Hadley, Card remarked that he was dotug the best he could, that be Was unused to driving, that if he did not suit the wagon master who employed him, it was time enough to quit ‘then; that he did not consider him boss of the train and did not want any more of his abuse. Whereupon Had! told him he would show him he was boss and that ho must obey. He came up and drew bis ox whip to strike Card, but before striking dropped the whip and collared him. Card struck at Hadiny with his whip after being collared A rough apd tumble scuffle ensued in which Card seemed to havea little the advantage, when Hadley drew his knife and stabbed him fn the abdomen. On being stabbed, Card broke loose and ran around the wagon, followed by Hadley, knife in hand, when the erder any further ‘fighting.

Having read with attention and a great deal of intorost the newspaper accounts of the disease now raging 60 feac- fully among the cattle of the Siate of Massachusetts, I am reminded of similar cases which occurred in my prac- tice on the boundaries of Belgium and Holland, on the borders of the river Maaa, in the year 1830. Upon a careful comparison the symptoms appear to me to bear a great resemblance to the characteristics of the present epidemic, In April, 1830, I was called to the farm of Peter Thon- niesen, situated between Roermond and Maaseyth, Jost several bead of cattle, that three cows were sick, and that having great fear of losing all his cows, he had sepa- rated the sick from the well, believing the discase came ; % Conclusion that the mal'dy was caused by the weakness of the organs of life, which principally depend nervous and arterial systems. The eyes, and dull, the pulse slow and wavering, the a * were accom affected. “After these observations I began my treatment thus: Ttook from cach diseased cow theee to foar quarts of blood ; rubbed well the painful right side with acutely irritating liniments, prescribing also several powders herbs mixed in , to be give in the form of aa electuary—a table spoonful every three hours. I ordered the stable where the healthy cows were kept to be cleansed and well smoked wit a. berries, burned on coals, and fresh straw to be distributed. ‘On the second day after their condition was the same, with the exception of an imereased thirst. The drink I ordered to be given was lukewarm water, coa- taining linseed fowers. The same day I laid an iasue or fontanelie between the right fore log and breast of cach cow, to cause a Counter irritation and drain from the logs coutinuing the frictions with the liniments and icines. For the healthy cattle no change was advised. On the third day 1 noticed a saustactory change in two of the sick cows. They drank freely. ir eyes were a little liveher and their pulse more regular. I notwoed that the renal and alvine discharges were diminished in quan- tity—the latter being dry and combined with a slimy matter. 1 then gave a loovening injection and discoatia- ued the rabbing with lintments, but continued the use of my medicine, The separated cattle were still in a healthy condition Un the fourth day the same condition was observed as on the day before. Two of the recovering cowsshowet a decided improvement in the quality and quantity of their alvine secretions and stale setovs had drawn well, and much matter was discharged by them. I ordered the continuance of the mevticine as before, and a quantity of Doiled and pounded potatoes to be mixed with the drink. For the healthy cattle no change was presertbed. On the filth day I found two of the cows to be remarka- bly bettor—the third having died the preceding night. 1 discovered at the dissection that both lungs were much swollen, the left inflamed, and the cells filled w matter and black coagulite! blood. The liver and idneys were also affected; the excrements in the sto. mach dry, and seyers) red smelling air, cana), which was filled wi After having made these and other observations and dissections in similar oases, I believe that the principal cave of the disease Hes in tae weakened state of the or. preceding og leodiag je enfeocbled vitality aud the leetruction of the lungs. ‘The proximate causes of thia condition mar Ye found in unw! food, overtiowed or swampy n.. lows, wet and cod weather, malaria and frequent rough winds.
