appreciate his disinterestedness, for
ho labors for the popular good.
Tho value of tho telegraph monop
oly to those who own it may be gath
ered from tho fact that while they
make oath, that tho value of exist
ing lines in this country is about
$25,000,000, the Postmaster General
claims that they can be duplicated
for ton millions. This the president
of the Western Union tries to deny,
but tho Postmaster General is per
Klstont in asserting it. Tho question
to be decided is whether Congress
can bo induced to do any thing
against a monopoly which finds its
stock worth twenty to thirty times
above cost, which has no doubt been
correspondingly "watered."
MISCELLANEOUS.
I heard Bret Harte givo n lecture
hero a few ovonings since, to a large
audience and ono that was much in
terested. Ills description of the
adventurers who sought California
in 1849, and in tho early days, and of
tho moor that epoch, was illustrated
by felicitous incidents.
Hon. J. G. Wilson, our Congress
man elect, nrrlvedTicro this morn
iug. Ho looks thin and snys ho lias
been down with rliciiiiiiithin, wliloh
accounts for it.
Col. Chapman Ii here, honing to
Hicuro some aid for tho Portland,
Dalles A Salt Lake railroad. Memo
rials from Oregon and Tdaho, asking
Congrcs for u land grant to aid this
enterprise, were presented In
tho IIouso on Monday and were
ordered printed. It is not popular
now to favor land grant, but there
U much to bo said in favor of this
ono and it would iccuro to our Stuto
as nhort a route to Omaha from Port
land as exists from San rrancNeo,
and give tho Columbia river power
and prominence as greai coiuiiif.'-
elal point of the North Pacini'.
Wo have vigorous winter by.

that is enjoyable.

Yesterday morning I took a walk
to tho Government Printing otlleo
and was politely -hown over that
immenio establishment said to ho
the vastest of the kind in tho world,
r think it must be !W0 feet one wny,
with nil 1. 2Q feet the other. One
room contains 17.1 pree, moit of
which nro nlwiiy.- at work. Printers
by tho hundred stand at Uiuviimm,
and many of the employe are la
dles. It Is a very biiV place, and 1
was ussured that tho work, being
planned well, was executed with
economy to goverinent. The pri oi
J aro fed by females. Some of the do-
partments aro devoted to one branch

other. The building jtands four
stories high and combines within l(s
ftdf all necessary work for typo set
ting, stereotyping which is some
thing necessiry press work, and all
v of tho book binding business besides.
Tho paporSand materials go in on tho
j ground lloor and tho books aro turn-
ed out on tho upper floor. Theroaro
, tlftcon hundred employes In this Im-
l monso building, who arc employed
t tliojwliolo year, and tho Congre-ion-
al Printer has asked to havo ux.on-
sivo additions made to tho building
for tho reason that much of the
I Government work is now done on
I tho outside. I wn -hown linmen-e
S olios of iirinted matter that cannot
Imj finished as fast as needed for mi-
ion of want of room and haniN.
When It Is considered that all the
t blanks and blank booki for the de-
partmentd hero and for all the las
eminent otllcers of all sorts ehe-
whero aro prepared at this place, wo
I may form i-oino Idea of tho work
f done. Tho .Supremo Court Im many

I well experienced proof readers are

Wheat PnosrKcr in.Exui.and.
The Murk Lano Express, of Decem
ber 23d, contains an article on the
wheat prospect in England, from
which wo learn that only "about
one-half tho wheat intended to havo
been sown had been got in.and that in
the worst postiblo condition," owing
to the wet state of the ground and
that which had come up "looked wan
and sickly." "Favorable circum
stances between the present time
and harvest may slightly modify the
gloomy prospect now before in, but
they can no more brine n good crop
than exterior decorations can givo
stability to a houso on a bad founda
tion." Tho London Time says : "Judg
from present appearances, tho area
under wheat In wheat in 1873 will
provoono of the shortest on record,
and this following tho most Inferior
crop which has been harvested for
many years, must awaken serious
apprehensions on the part of tho con
sumers as well as producers. Per
haps a higher range of prices than
those of the present would, by increas
ing the already liberal foreign sup
ply, eventually prove the best policy."
