A correspondent writing from Albany, X. Y., to tbeAnw, in relation to the number of distinguished embezzlers now confined there in the State penitentiary, says: Tliere Is Major Vlrgii Eggleston, formerly paymaster In the United States army, a very bright fellow, not yet middle aged, an excellent account ant, and very valuable to the contractors, who employ him in tlieir office. He was on duty away out at x'ortianu, vnvgotb wlien his accounts failed to balance by $12, 279 40. The facilities for balancing books there was not as good as in the army wleii tlte official report. '-Books lost in action," or "lost in crossing a river,' brought balm to many an officer's heart. Eggleston couldn't fix tilings tliat way. So here lie is for five years, to be followed by five more if be does not pay the $13,279 40. lie has been here a year, and hopes to get out in four more, not deeming it worth while to take a five year contract at $2,453 83 per anum If be can gtt out of it." From Palous. Mr. Lewis Stirapson arrived In this city last Thursday from the Palotis country, on the North Snake River, in Washington Territory. He reports everything up in tliat section of country as being in a flourishing condition, but no money tn the country. He says there is any quantity of wheat, oats and vegetables there, and that stock of all kinds are seal Eit, and tliat the winters tltere are so mild tliat the stock does not have to be fed Out inz tbe wink r. Mr. S. drove down here 83 head of beef cattle. lie says that that is just tlie place for emigrants who have come here .for the purpose of taking up farms and making Irames, as there is plenty of land tliere vacant and ot the very best quality. Mr. S. will return in tins spring. llttit fob Postage. Some people have either a queer way of doing brtslness, or else they are very careless and negligent.

This is, indeed, something tliat lias been needed in tliat room tor some time, but tlie County Court could not see it in the same light, but pre ferred ihe-Jmoks to be stacked one upon tlie other on some table.

How - often does man in tbe lournev of life pause on his weary way, and sighingly gaze on the joys of childhood, enjoying them without the maligrlty of envy t On the worldly pros perous and rich, on whose cup runneth over, men look too often with mi evil eye, liatlng happiness which they desire ; but the i idl est man in the world Is not so happy as a laughing child. And wherefore cannot man be as happy as a child? Wherefore, but from want of purity and from want of faith? Sad lecollectlous press upon the spirit, and doubts, with a cloud like density,' darken the way of life; so tliat when we are lifted a while by tbe light-heartedness of a tran sient gayety somewhat above tbe ordinary level of the tenor of life, we look to tbe past, and tliere Is tbe darkness of remorse; we look to the future, and tliere is the tufst ofdorrbf rfnd fears; and sadly we sink down again, moralizing ; b' the vanity ot. human joys. However, if we love joy, and cannot have It pure tn ourselves, It Is sonrething that we can sympathize with as it exists in toe sweet smues ana . musical laughter of children. So this sight ttnd thought becomes instructive to us; it is de light and it is philosophy; it is a iooking fftas to the mind a moral lookinir-erlass a meditative looking-glass, helping to cor rect tne ueiormines it reveais. ic is a tner ciral and considerate wisdom that thus ar ranges our lot in life, mingling the mass of society, so tnat youiu nnu maunoou, ciiiiu boodand old age from one community; thns all are sweetly dependent on each other; and for the protection which maturi ty bestows upon childhood, a return is made by childhood in the lesson which it teaches and in the picturesque beauty ot Its moral character. . which renders It so de- llfirhtfhl an object to contemplate. So mu tual dependence ami obligation form the bond of society and the principle of morals: and the dependence of all on the Supreme forms the basis of devout gratitude and the principle ot religion. Tuesday was an unlucky day for New York burslars. One fell from a balcony and fractured his skull ; another, closely JHinuied by the owner or the house, sprani mm a second story window and broke hi leg.

Tr t&Jff hn He was travel-stained ! and weary, and his eyes had a far-off wUtfiil look, as tliongh lie knew that rest was not tar from him be low, yet his tired tieart crave It ever so much. And as he humbly asked the lady of tlie house for a morsel of food, his vener able appearance and evident want aroused all her womanly generosity, and she pres ently set the poor tramp tlown to the re mains of the lamiiy dinner. "Poor old man." she nmrmered sympa thetically, as she saw him lean hack in, his cliair, Jeaving hi3 food nntouclied on" his plate "lie is too weary to eat," and she asked him if he felt ill. "Not exactly, mum." was the answer in a humble voice, "but mos' people cook tlieir roast beef till it's overdone, an' over done beef don't geu'lly agree with me." 'Y'hav'nt got any Wooster sauce, have ye?" continued the nieudicant " I uios' gen'iiy use it wuen oeet am c cookcu io sun me." Unfortunately the house of McCorinick was out of "wooster sauce, "but Mrs. McC. brought the mustard and a plate of nice pickles, observing with the faintesC trace of sarcasm in her tones that if she'd known tliat he was coming she'd have looked out for something better. - Ob, I ain't very pertick'Ier mum" said the old man, as lie helped hinself to another spoonful of gravy and a cucumber pickle, "on'y I jus' happ'n'd to mention asa AJ 11IIV1V MIVIV Kl livr UWI aavaaiaaa sweet for de?ert, overdone roast beet's more like a disagree with me," and the meekness iu the vagrant's wrinkled face was touch ins in tlie extreme.. as he looked humbly around the table. But Mrs. McC. was ratlier too far gone with speechless indignation to frame a suitable answer, and so the weary old man with a mournful sigli, went on eating, and developed a most singular and- wonderful appetite whicli Was gradually appeased as tne iour-pound piece or Deer was reuttceu to a mere si in pel ess fragment and the last boiled potato liad vanished from the dish. "I hope you've made a dinner," ejacula ted Mrs. McC.. in a fine irony. "Wall, ves'm : I've eat wuss wlttals." said tlie old mendicant, with deep humility, as he pushed his chnlr back from the table. aud appeared to seek something on the floor. "What is it you're a lookinz for?" de manded Mrs. C, with a snap iu her voice that reminded one of thcslamming down ot the lid of a chest. . "Notniir, mum that is. nothing par- ttck icr; l citdii t see no napkin, and thought! might adroped it ". uut ne never finished his speech, and five seconds later his locks vanished through tlie doorway with amazing celerity, and an infuriated female with a mop followed so closely behind that he got fully a half mile i rum ine nouse uciore pursuit ceascu auu he was able to light his cigar.

England Is a manufacturing country No raw material Is shipped from her ports. Nor does she produce the material to be worked up in her own factories. She buys raw material abroad and works it up. Sbe Dtiys tne rood or her operatives aoroad ana pays the, freight on it across the seas. And yet she is rich. . The countries that sell cot- ten, and wool, and Dread stuns to England are not tier creditors, : but her - debtors. When they want money to develop mines, to build railways, they borrow it from En gland, provided they can show satisfactory collaterals. How is it that the countries that produce the raw material and sell It to England nave less money than she? It is Decause tne labor bestowed upon the ma terial by the manufacturer exceeds in val- tbe material in its naturiel state. It it be cause vastly the largest proportion ot what i no consumers pay lor tne goods tney ouy is paid tor the labor that prepares it for use. It is because, to take a familiar article tor illustration, of the $20 you pay for a com mon coat one dollar goes for 'the material in its natural state, and nineteen for mak ing into a coat. The manufacturing coun tries will always be tbe countries to which the money will flow. . And since the r con sumption of manufactured zoods continual ly Insreases, the relative advantages in favor Of manufacturing countries must become greater. This fact lies at the bottom of any sound system ot political economy; The nrst condition of prosperity In any country is tbe building up of its manufacturing lu- terests.
