" A GRICULTURAL IMPLEMENTS of Ji. all kinds at inside figur hr t i- urvneirrs The Alsska Job. From the S. F. Examiner. Ever since tbe purchase of our pot' sesnioiiH io the i'ar North west, the legacy ot the late Mr. Seward bus been periodically brought betore the people hum one cause or another. A writer in tbe Evening Post, not Ion since, alleged that at urst every thing was life and bustle; traders wid prospectors penetrated every where, many ot the former realizing large fortunes. At Silka tlie,military did its utmost to keep tilings lively, an I succeeded in a way which disgraced both their eloth aud the country. When llie ni'St rush subsided, tho abairs aud claims ot the firm of IIutcbiiiHon, ivotil & Uo., uow the Alaska Loin mercial Company, attracted public aitenlion tor a time, until that power tul combination obtained the lease ot tl e lur-seal islands for twenty years. Much was suid at the time about the manner in which that lease was obtained, principally by would-be competitors of tbe Company, but the cry was hushed without leading; to any startling exposure from that period down Alaska has been kept out of sight and hearing of the peo ple of the United Slates as fur as it was possible for the parties interested to do so. One miliary poxt after an other was aban JuneJ, one trader af ter the other retired in the face of too powerful and unscrupulous competi lion. Occasionally some more ven turesome prospector made a discovery which would have paid him good wages for hard work, but in a few weeks the work was generally aban doued again and tbe miner on his way buck to i.ritish Columbia or San Frmciico, with a few dollars in his poekel, not made by delving iu the frozen soil of Alaska. Fishing ves sels cruising in those waters were somehow guided to tho poorest b'sh-iut-grouiids in the Territory, and all sorts of impediments thrown in the way ot this class of visitors. Dunns all this time persistent efforts were made to convince the general public, through the columuB of certain pa pers and magazines' that the country I 1. J' ..A-fl.nnnlk .1 we uuugni, ior i ,zoj,vvv was worm absolutely nothing, except through the medium of l'ie Alaska Commer cial Company. The Company with drew its business from Silka, once tho center of the fur trade of all that region, thereby causing a falling oil in Custom-house receipts, which necessarily had great weight iu lavor of the withdrawal of troops. About eight or nino momths ago ilie garrison of Sitka, the last in the Territory, wasordtred to the Depart ment of California, and with it the greater poriion of the inhabitants of the place also removed, some leav ing the country and others going to Fort Wrangel and the mouth of the Stiekeeu River, where the Indian are peaceable. This exodus from Sitka did not take place at once, but gradually, as people became convinc ed that uo permanent protection by means ot War vessels of revenue cut ters was to be afforded them. The monopoly of so valuable a maple as the tur seal skin is a mine of wealth in itself. But it appears that any thing else I1. is corporation desires if can have for the asking, and probably the officer who superin tends the killing ot seals, in accord ance wilh the ru'es will be removed next,- leaving the Company "monarch ot all it surveys," as much as ever the old Russian American Company waf and at far less cost. Mr. Francis, United States Coiisul iu Victoria, mentions at length in his reports the smuggling trade carried on wilh Alaska even now, and it can be easily imagined to what magnitude the traf fic would grow should all restraint be removed. Congress should with out delay commence a thorough in vestigation ol'thin Alaska job. AS" expectant bridegroom who ap plied for a marriage license in Minnea polis, Minn., got along very well un til asked the lady's name. "Name! name !" he exclaimed," there, I dou'l know. I've heard it. too, but let me see ,Msry Mary something. I'd know it in a minute if I could see it sny where!" But he couldn't "see it anywhere," and the hall completed license wa raid on the table until he C mid go up town aud ask Mary what her oilier name was. The newspapers which make a feature of indecent sensations unquestionably find their profit in an extended circu lation and it would be useli s4 in ad dress anj protests to them. Their pro prietors no doubt deliber tely calcula ted npon the morbid curiosity and depraved tastes of a large portico of tbe community oetore they embarked in this style of journalism. Tbe dis couraging feature about the whole matter is, remarks the Cleveland Jl'sald, that papers ot this sort seem to nourish more than those wo cb en beavor to keep their columns eleao aud reputapU.

There is, as everybody knows who understands our uewspaper literature, a lot of journals published simply for the purpose of getting advertising. Nobody reads lham, and even as a gift they are refused. Yet men ot L'ood sense in other matters will spend their money in advertising their wares in these useless sheets. What makes a journal desirable as a medium for advertising is, first, a targe circulation, and, secondly, the hold it has on its readers tbe moral . ... . . ? a ' . ana inieiieciuii lunuence it exerts upon' them. A paper may be printed by the million, and thrust as a gilt iuto every man's hand, aud yet as an advertising medium it may be ol no real value. But a paper which has the confidence of its readers, which attaches them to it, and steadily affects their opinions, provided its sales are great, is one into which a wise buSi utss man will get bis annofaueemeDrs, even at large cost. Vast sums ol money artfeyery yar watted in' advertising, simply trom a lack ot ufldsrslaoding of this very plain' principle. Busiutss men how ever, have much excuse lor" their folly ih this direction. The newspapers dd'nbt tell them honestly what they ill get for tbeir money.

The follow ing is Survivor Caud ford's stale meot : Tho ship capsized in a squall about four in the afternoon five miles from Dunnessc. I was one of the persons on board, all of whom, ex cept myself and Fletcher, I believe lost. I was one of ihe last on iht' ship. Captain Hare was near me when she went down. After cap sizing she carried wilh her a large number ot men clinging to her, or they were drawn . iu the vortex. A man near me said a vessel was close by when the squall came on, and therefore we will be sure to be pioked up. I was more than an hour in the water, bciuir a first rate swimmer. and many of my comrades called to mo to help them. I tried to assist two or three, but at last there were four clinging to me, and I was obliged to kick them off. Our ship left Ber muda throe weeks aero. We passed tl.e Lizard, the most southern poiut ot Great Britain yesterday, and ex pected to anchor at Spiihead about 5 iu the atlernoon. Tho admiral commading at Ports mouth has sent steamers to search in the vicinity ot the accident, but no further report has been received. It is believed the Eurydice had about 320 officers and seamen, of which 270 were youoi; men in training, besides about 20 officers and men taken on board at Bermuda as invalids. Dun nesse, off which the ship was lost, is a lofty headland, and well known to visitors to the Isle of Wiubl. .The Eurydice was commissioned in Ports mouth iu February, 1877, and went on a practice cruise to the West In dies, whence she had been for some days expected at Portsmouth. , Lloyds place tl.e number on boaf'J at 315. Two only are known to be sayed, though a telegram from Vent- nor statsB that a bark was Buen bear ing toward Duunesse just before the squall. Thore is some hope that she may have rescued others. In oonse qilence ot a ebb tido and north wind at the time, the bodies are uot expect ed to come ashore. All hands wero mustering on deck for prayers at the time of the disaster. But for apass, ing sohoouer, nothing would have been known of the disaster, as every thing on the tea was bidden from thoso on the shore by a bliir'diug snow storm, and it would have been thought the ship had none on to Spit head. At 3:30 the" Esplanade at Ventnor 4m crowded with visitors admiring tho Eurydice, which" was earring every available stioh of can vass. Mie sailed so close to shore that from the pierhead the cordage ot the rigging was visible. Suddenly tne sky became overcast, and snow and Blcet descended, quickly driving promenaders to cover, and In'ditrg the vessel trom vuw. When the storm lifted only the schooner Emma Lower ing and her boats' could be seen. Fletcher, the only survivor, states he was below, when bearing a noise on deck, he rushed up and found the Ves sel on her tide in a sinking condition. He had been in the water scarcely a minute when the vessel lurched tor ward and tank, drawing hiirdown such a distauce that be gaye himself up for lost, but a life buoy drew bun to the surface. The vessel lies, wilh her masts visible, two miles off Luo combe Chinea Point, where a ravine runs down to the sea and through which tbe wind blows wilh a lorce against which only a close reefed ves sel can' hind. Boats went out last night to search for bodies, but none were (bond. Several gunboats ure to day cruising in that neighborhood. An effort will be made to raise the vessel. Poktsmouth, March 25. A tele- grain siys it is feared that wilh the men who embarked at Bermuda aud probably from Admiral Key's squad ron in rforlh America and West In dies, the Eurydice had nearly 400 persons on board. A Call for Statksmi.i. Congress is made up mainly of very cheap men nd, mere politicians. Statesmen are as rare as violets in a new England March; Not to go'away from home, we wish we could' name one man (ram the state of Massachusetts in the halls of congress who has any claim to the title of statesman. Sena tor Hoar comes as near to it as any man we have there, perhaps, and yet it would be difficult to find him if the mantle of a really great statesmau were thrown over him From til pans of the country the people have chosen for tbeir representatives tor tbe moat part men who have made do study of any single public ques tion, snd who show themselves incapa ble of comprehending established principles and drawing logical corn elusions from indisputable premises. tPostm Globe. Eaves' locoifsislenccj. Mr. Hayes would do well to inti mate to Mr. Sherman that bis rcsig nition as Secretary of tbo Treasury would bo vary acceptable in as con veniently a short lime as possible. It is not just the most seemingly aspect to view a member of the Presi dent's Cabinet, who is properly con sidered as reflecting the mind of the President, whether he really does so or not, giving bis views ou the sub ject ot a State prosecution, and even so far forguttiug the proprieties of his position as to write a loiter to a convicted felon, assuring him ot bis sympathy and of his belief in his inno cence. Mr. Hayes must appear in no enviable light in the eyes of the na tions of tho world, when be appoints to responsible 6tliccs men wbo are charged in courts ot law with crimes that carry shame and disgrace and reproach to tho minds of the people everywhere. Wells and Anderson committed a crimo when they couutcd the vote of Louisiana for Hayes in stead Tilden. Sherman stood by and aided and abetted them in their law less acts. Hayes admitted their crimes when Le allowed tho Packard government to be superceded by that of Niobolls, and indorsed and made as his own,' those crimes when he selec ted Sherman, as one of Ids advisers aud appoiuled the lioturtiing Board members to responsible cilices. With these facts staring them full in tho face, how can the American people, whether they bo Democrats or Re publicans, or Indopeudents, white' or black, or any other color, have any confidence iu Mr, Hayes' purity of character or honesty of k purpose? Mr. Hayes may continue to banish wine from his Slate dinners, and etill . have his Sunday evening festivals of song at the White House, but instead of these things tending to elevate b'uu in the estimation of tho people, they will only servo to bring the reproach of hypocrisy upon him. We.jd'o.not object to Mr. Hayes' banishment of wine from his table and singing auu day School songs with Wheeler, Sherman and others, it his acts as l resident Iu the discharge ot his du ties were in keeping with these relig ious tendencies of his. It would bo much teller to have wine at the table than a lot of thieves around it, such as Sherman, Anderson and Weill.' It would be much betlcr for Mr.' Hayes to relraiu from slandering a people as noble and as honorable and as just as can' be found on earth,' than singing "Blest be tho tio that binds," and all the songs that re sound through the Presidential man- si ou. This is a practical age and a f radical people, and while. Mr. lays' hypocritical show of relig ious and sober tendencies may please all tiro antiquated grannies ot the, land, it will not satisfy the strong common tense 61 the nation. A Correct View of the Situation. It is rare and rcfreahihg to find in an Eastern jourA.ll of rank and influ ence anything upon thoChiuese qucs- . . : uou wuicu is rimer correct, or scum ble, or free from prejildice against the cause of free labor on this Coast. It is, therelore, with pleasure that we read in the Cincinnati Enquirer a very sound article upon the subject. It says: ' We are no alarmists, but the timo for action has Come. The heathen are at our doors. Congress must act, speedily and Vigorously. Tbe immi gration and transportation ot theso heathen hordes must be stopped.. The pitiful cry ot cheap labor, of treaties aud ot the value of Cbn eso commerce must not bo allowed to stand in the Way of our own preserva tion. The very life of our pceple is at stake: These Chinese are woise than the lice and frogs of Egypt- worse than war, pestilence and fam ine, for they bring wilh them . pesti lence and la mifi a, and decay and deg radation and moral death follow swift-" ly in .heir wake. . Tbcre is not one redeemiug trait to commend them to' our favorable consideration. Morally and physically they arc lower than the beasts. They are foiil and filthy; they are almost universally liars, gamblers, debauchees, and thieves;' they arc leprous and licentious, and full of all dnoloaiiiiess; they corrupt the young, and degrade all with whom they come in contact; they blast every business in which they engage; ubdor their blighting touch' every industry withers, and all pros perity vanishes; they rob men of the' meaus of livelihood, and polluto the very air of heaven with the reeking ol odrs of their foul dena and their more filthy persons. If God in His good providence has seen fit to afllct their native country wilh famine, and destroy them from tho face ot tho earth, this dues not argue that Ameripa should bo made to suffer ilb them. Bather should our peo ple staud by and see the judgment of God, and testify to His goodness aud' loving kinduess.
