Editorial Gentilily.
-A well known correspondent of a
leading newspaper, in one f hh lt
tersj relating uj-iiitly to the journals and
journalists ot Chicago, took occasion l
remark itt a general way ti the follow
ing purpose j I sometimes wonder what
it is in the profession that stiffens the
backbone aud sours the temper. Vh
is it that the politeness, patience in u
word, the good breeding common to
other pursuit.- cannot exist in a first
class journalist ? This involves a too
sweeping accusation, fince there are
unquestionably to be found very many
first class journalists in the country
who are in the highest sense gentlemen
not indeed mere practice of con
ventional politeness and cunting-house
ailabiiity, but men considerate of tin
eeusibiatiea of others, and at all tim-s
cordial in giving proper attention to
those who may ask it of them. Still,
the complaint is not without a very
considerable foundation, especially with
respect to the journalists of the larger
-cities. Your metropolitan newspaper
man, from the managing editor down
to the police court reporter, is only less
inflated and elf-important than those
most pompous of mortals, railroad su
perintei dents and bank cashiers ; and
jas a rule the underlings outdo their
superiors in affecting airs, and in tlnir
arrogant efforts to impress the outside
world with an idea of their superiority
over ordinary humanity. We have met
many characters of this stamp in our
relations with the pr-ss. al5d have been
led to ask ourselves in the vein of the
correspondent quoted, what is there in
the profession of . journalism that
prompts or warrants such a spirit and
habits in its votaries t To those who
are familiar with the internal life and
wotkings of the daily newspaper, with
its continual drudgery and the exces
eive train upon the energies of those
engaged in its production, and who
know bow comparatively small is the
reward which ueh workers receive,
this pretension looks supremely ridi
cnlous. and intelligent men can hardly
fail to entertain a similar view, albeit
their judgment maybe tempered by
the respect they feel towards a respon
sible aud hon rablo calling. To our
notion there is no profession in which
gentlemanly, courteous conduct is more
demanded than in that of journalism.
flhe editor should feel that to his per
gonal defor'ment, not less than to his
ability as a writer and thinker, must
he look for consideration and influence
' The newspaper fauctum is do place for
a boor, and the man who cannot be a
gentleman is out of hts sphere in the
role of aD editor. We know that it
might be argued in defence that the
journalist is so frequently harrassed
and annoyed by all orts of people, with
all sorts of business with no interest to
anyone but themselves, that self-protection
forces him to adopt a repelling
manner and exercise it indiscriminately;
but the excuse is not sufficient.

DRIFT OF THE TIDE.
No one who is m the habit of travel
ing in the British provinces can fail to
be imprest d with the extraordinary
progress which public sentiment in
favor of annexation to the Uuited
States has made within a few years.
Tins feeling is much s.ronger in Lower
Canada than elsewhere, and there are
many reasons why it should be so.
There is less business transacted and
less money in circulation in Lower Can
ada than in tfpper Canada, with less
demand for labor, and consequently
more poverty Lower Canada is in
habited generally by a French popula
tion. French is the language usually
spoken, and the pe ple have inherited
the traditional antipathy to England.
An immense emigration from Lower
Canada to the United States has been
in progress lor years, and the accounts
sent back of the improved condition of
those who have emigrated, have served
to create a faVoratue impression on the
minds ot those who have ramained at
home in regard to the United Sato
and their institutions. A great majority
ol" the people in Qu bee and the coun
try parishes in that part of the Province
are to-d-iy hear ily in favor of annexa
ton. Montreal is more pr sperous, and
and the people sre better satisfied, but
still thererure many annexationists.
In Upper Canada there is not that
discontent with British rule manifested
that is freely expressed in L-.wer Can
ada ; but there are influences at work
in fivor of annexation which will even
tually be vcrv powerful. The opposi
tion to any movement which could re
sult in annexation includes politicians
of both the Liberal ard Conservative
parties; pensioners and o'her benefici
aries of the English Government;
the descendants of Tories of the Amer
ican Revolution who were driven out of
the United States for their opposition
to American Independence ; pauper.
and deseenden's of paupers, who have
been sent to Great Britain at the pub
lic expense; and the Irish Oranirrinen,
who are numerous, and as a class in
tensely loyal to the British Crown
When the new census is completed.
Upper Canada expects to show a pop
illation equal to that of all the other
Provinces combined, and consequently
to be aMe to control the legislation of
the whole Dominion, and its politician
hope to ru e the country. For thi
reason they ar generally opposed to
the idea.of annexation.
On the other hand, there is a large
American element in the population of
Upper Canada ; many of the most en-
erprismg business men are from the
United States, and tjiese are all fullv
alive to the advantages which would
result to Canada- from admission to the
American Union. Nearly all the
Catholic Irish, who are abundant in all
parts of Canada, are annexationists; if
there wre no other reason for such a
sentiment, the fact that the Orangemen
are opposed to it would be sufficient.
The rural population, aside from the
classes mentioned above, are generally
in favor of the change; they are con
vinced that if annexation should take
place, the introduction of Americm
enterprise and methods would increase
the value of their property, and render
all classes more prosperous. This
(cling has been gaining ground Knc
the abrogation of the reciprocity treaty
Throughout the L ower Provinces
Nova Scotia and New Brunswick -there
is a strong and energetie party in
in favor of annexation Under the
terms of the Canadian Confederation,
their representatives are in a hopeless
minority, ana trieir irmuence m the
general legislation for the Dominion
amounts to nothing The people arc
dissatisfied and di-contented with the
new order of.thinus ; there arc no im
portant ties of trade or intercourse to
attach them to the other Piovince-,
while every iustinct of self interest
would naturally induce them to d. ire
annexation. Besides, the American
Republic offers the most available
market for their productions of every
kind. These reasons for desiring a
change increase in strength and add to
the number of annexationists with each
succeeding year.
It will be seen that the causes which
have operated to excite a desire for an
nexation in Che minds of Canadians
must become more and more potent so
long as the present state of affairs con
tinu -i, while the obstacles in the way of
such an vent are constantly becoming
less formidable. If the annexation
feeling continues to grow in the future
in the same ratio that has marked its
progress for the last few years, it will
not be long before it becomes too
strong to be disregarded by those in
power ou cither bide of the Atlantic,
The Liquor Traffic lit England.
The friends of temjerance in Great
Britain seem to bo rousing to the im
portance of regulating the liquor traf
fic. We copy from a late English
paper the following mote made in
Parliament for governing that trade.
The movemeut seems to be for the
public good :
' Mr. Bruce, on behalf of the Gov
ernment, introduced a most elaborate
measure revolutionizing the liquor
traffic. As to new licenses, the justices,
whose decision hereafter will bo with
out appeal, will firt decide the num
ber of public bouses and beer houses
required in each ward of a borough, or
outside a borough in each parish. If
the licenses granted by magistrates
exceed a certain pmj ortiou, to be spe
cified in the Bill, the ratepayers may
reduce, but not increase the number.
Then the licenses will be sold by
auction to the highest bidder, who
will pay a minimum license duty in
the form of annual percentage ou the
gross rental of tlo-ir premise, the
licenses to last for ten years, annually
renewable upon god hetivior. A
pet-on may tender for all or any of
the licenses, and may Hppoint man
aners, who must be resident, and may
appoint himself, premises to be ap
proved by justices. As to exi-tiog
licensed houses, Mr Bruce recognized
in them a qualified vested interest,
lie therefore sub-titutcs for th present
annual license, a ten years' license
-object to a nv derate license duty,
after which it will be for justices and
ratepayers to determine the number
in each district, present holders of
licenses to have a preferential claim.
Mr, Bruce suggests that hereafter
local authorities, as in Sweden, may
buy up some of their vested interests,
putting in managers for sale of drink,
and thereby ensuring good order and
good liquor. This txpeiiment would
py. Meanwhile, every year would
o'iminish the number of licensed
houe", owing to severe regulations
and inspection. In London, public
houses and beer houses mu-t be closed
at midnight, in provincial towns at
eleven, ant! in rural districts at ten.
In the morning they will open at
seven instead of four On Sondas
they must open only between one and
three, and from seven till nine. Six
days' licenses may be taken. All
convictions will be endorsed on the
certificate, which will be absolutely
forfeited alter a certain number of
convictions. Special exceptions will
allow the supplying of tiavelers de
fined as per-ons not less than five
miles from their reside tees, the bur
den of proof to he thrown on publicans.
Persons falsely pretending to be traveler-
will be fined. The penalties on
drunkenness, whether it be in public
hoijxes or streets, are increased to 20..;
in default,- imprisonment, with haid
labor. Special penalties will be in
flicted on drunken pers ns in charge
of horses, bteam-engines, or other
special cases. Samples of liquor may
be taken by Inspectors and tested al
the Government Laboratory, and adul
teration punished by heavy fine for
the first offence, fine or imprisomeut
for the next offeree, and afterwards
heavier penalties, and eventually the
absolute forfeiture of the license. The
inspection of licensed houses to be
carried on independently of the police,
by a body ot Inspectors paid by the
Treasury out of the license rental,
estimated to produce jCL'0f00'J a year.
Adulteration being thus prevented,
vast numbers of existing licensed
h )use must close, and honest traders
and the community hen fitted The Bill
was adversely criticized, both by Per
missive advocates ami by advocates of
vested interests. If it should pass, it
will com into operation on the 1st ot
October in the present year, so that
but little time will remain for many
publicans to set their houses in order."

The Jt'irnt Telegraphic Iiistiuuient.
n
Al' Ijtercstin-: relic of the earlv davs
of telegraphy has, it is said, been dis
covered in Morristown, N. J. It is the j
first instrument by which messages j
were received and sent by the aid of the !
e'ectrie current. When Prof. M
was experimenting on the power and '
capability of electricity as adapted to
the tiaii-ini.-siou of words, he spent a
larg yVf tion of his Mneat Mori ihovn.
where he was a-sisted by Alfred Vail, !
Esq., a practical mat h Hist and iuven-j
tor. At the Speedwell yroti works of
that town, then owned ov the father of
Mr. Vail, the experiment on the wires
and on the construction of .suitab'e in
struments took place. On the comple
tion of the experiments and the re
moval of Mr. Morse to Washington to
bring his invention V-fore Congress,
Mr. Vail accompanied him, and, re
ceiving tfie appointment of as-istant
superintendent of telegraphs, he was
stationed at Baltimore at that end tit'
the expeumental line. The instrument
now at M rri,ifown was one of two
taken from Morrifown by Mor-e and s
Vail Mot so Using one at Washington, I
and V.dl the other at Baltimore The j
fir-t message sent was the now well
known " What hath God Wrought ? ' j

deney by the B bitoore 'Convention of j

itistrutut'Uts were in Constant u-ofor!
-ix years, when Mr. Vail, returning to
Morristown, brought bis with him. and
where it has ince rrtiiiined, in the po- i
session of his family. . Mr. Vail, dying j
soon after, his to-truu e'it was .peei tdy
o ft, by a clause in bis will, to bis cld-st
sou as a heir hom, whdo parts of in
rt'tuiiients made during the eftperim n
tal trials, wvrc left to Prof Morc, with
a request that he would give them at
some future day, to the New .Jersey
Historical Society. The old instru
ment works as v.vll as when fitst nude,
and Saturday a message was sent to
Xew.Yotk, and & rcp'y received at
Morrs;ojfn. An excellent photograph
of the instrument was l-o taken. atl
with it a visit was made to Pud'.
Morse, in New York, The Profc-sor
was delighted to see the repr -- ijjoo
of tft first instrument, fnvuig destroyed
the fef'ow instrument which he had
used tn 1$H. He rea ldy recognized
if, and wrote a certificate acro-- the
picture as toils being a true photograph
of the first ii.-strument ever used to
transmit public ur sages. He also
expressed a wish that the photo
graphs might be generally distributed,
that it might be con how Jittle. in
essential points, it differed from those
now in use. With the exception of
size and clumsiness, the instruments
are almost exactly similar. The dimen
sions of the instrument are sixteen
inches 5 in length, seven inches in
height, six inches wide, with two mag
nets of three inches diameter. The
paper used w is two and a half inches
in width, three pens being proposed to
be used. The Weight of the instrument
is' twenty pounds. Scientific Ameri

In a conversation recently with an
intelligent gentleman, one interested in
all tarlu processes and practicdly fa
miliar with many ptrts of farming, he
related the mitimr of making, or
rather pressing, cheese, practiced by a
neighbor of his a woman skilled in
household economy, and famous for her
nice cheese. With the number of cows
usually kept, it takes three days to
make a cheese. Her former method
was to run up a cuid each morning,
keeping them until the third day, then
mixing old aud new curds together,
aud putting them into the hoop and
pressing. Her practice is now to run
up tho curd and put it into the press
at once, the hoop being about one third
full. The uext morning the second
curd is run up, that which was in the
hoop was taken out, the cloth eh-uged.
placed iu the hoop again, the top of it
then scratched or broken with a fork,
and the second curd put iu, when it is
aga.u placed iu the press, where it re
mains all day. The third moiniig's
curd is then run up, the cheese takt u
from the press, turned, the xurlaee
hacked up with a fork, aud the third
curd agaiu sliced on, bringing the first
curd in the middle of the cheese. It is
then pressed sufficiently, taken out aud
placed in the curiug-room. Uy tins
process, the work each morning is
cleared all away and a good-sized
cheese ia produced, of superior quality,
and one as firm aud solid as ii all were
placed iu the hoop at one time. Maine
