When a stranger first reaches a village, he forms an opinion of that place from his hotel surroundings, while the press is regarded abroad as an illustration of the progress and intelligence of a community. A dead newspaper is usually found in a dilapidated town, and a live progressive town; gives support and encouragement to an enterprising press .A newspaper is more than a private en terprise, for it is a p;jblic teacher, a dis seminator of local news and a motive power in the developementand prosperity of a country. Then it becomes the duty of every true ctyizen tohfclp build up and support his county paper and tak an in terest in its welfare. If the citizens were to pay promptly for their local paper and aid the editor with cash instead of censure, then would our country press re joice in prosperity, it you wi&u a good paper, pay cash to' the editor and do nqt ask him to carry you on his credit for tsrp years.

It has the advantage of being Inter national. Tho Biitannica is lamentably deficient in American matter, and Apple ton's is silent on many foreign subjects 6f interest. In THE INTERNATIONAL the articles on foreign men, places, histo ries, laws, etc., are written chiefly by for eigners'bf distinction, while the articles pertaining to American interests have been prepared almost entirely by Ameri can editors. This gives THE INTER NATIONAL a COMPLETENESS want ing in other Cyclopedias' 3. It is the cheest Cyclopedia of its size in the wprJd'.'The Britanciea n its cheapest form 'costs $120. Appleton's in its cloth binding, cost $85, which is more than we charge for THE, INTERNA TIONAL in its finest Morocco Binding.

The vessel had on board thecaptain, his wife and niece, and Supt. Hale, of the Baltimore Copper Mill at Santa Rosa, and a crew of five men. While JUetween San Pedro and Martinez, the vessel was struck by a heavy surf and capsized. AH on board perished except the captain, three sailors and a boy, who saved 'hem selves by climbing on the bottom of the sloop, on the 30th of July. Two of the sailors .became crazy and said they-were going koi e, and imme diately plunged overboard They bad .no sooner struck the water than sharks de voured them. The captain, one sailor, and the boy remained on the bottom of the vessel eight days, sustaining life by catching turtles that would come near and sucking their blood.

At the latter meeting the attendance was large. Resolution were adopted that the President and family be invited to visit this pity, October the 19th, or such other clay as might be con venient.

It was the writer's privilege on Sunday last, August 7th, to visit the Primitive Babtist Church, a new and neat little church on the corner of Morgan & Dawson streets, and listen to a sermon from th text. "Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called and whom he called, them, he also justified, and whom he jus tified them he also glonhed." Romans 30. The sermon was delivered in a very pleasing manner and was comment ted on by those who heard it, as being a very fine sermon, and the minister made a good impression npon his congregation. We have often heard the Rev. L. H. Har dy, spoken of, but neve,r rxet him before. After services we were introduced to him by one of his flock, and he, by his open, out spoken manner we think will endear himself to any people. We can only say, the flock that has him for a shepherd are to be congratulated- We hope to hear him again. We think tfte people or Car teret made a good sejecori when they sent Rev. L.'H. Haitiy, to.

On Monday Mrs. Cleveland, accompan ied by her mother and aunJb, left Wash ing for a small sea-coast town in Mass., near New Bedford. General Groely, chief of the signal office is with his family, passing the summer there and Mrs. Cleveland, and her party are his guests. The president staid behind at Oak View not even coming intr town the morning of his wife's departure to see her off on the train. One can net ihiaroe him for preferring his country home to the White j House, for Oak View is doubly attractive at this season by con trasto1jhe official residence, of the presi dent, which is more a public office than a home at all seasons. On Tuesday a Ca.btyet meeting was held at Oak Vh-w instead fil the Executive M&non. The AUtcaey General and the Secretary of State were the only members absexii. Secretary Lamar and Post Master Gener al Vilas drive out every evening aud are the President's guests for the night dur ing this prostracted warm spell. Secre tary Bayard with one of his numerous daughters, has gone ;to Rehoboth Beach a sea coast report In th.e Secretary's native State, Delaware. There has been no nomination nade for the Postmaster ship here yet. It does not appear that tho President has so far given the subject his direct attention. The widow of the late -General W. S. Hancock has beeu mentioned in connec tion with the place, bu; it is not though.; likely it will be offered or that she would accept if it was. Iu the. meanwhile Frank B Conger continues to act as post master, oi wasuingtou. lie nas been a most. efficient and painstaking officer. aud has made many improvements in the local service, and has handled the im mense Governmental mail matter that ar rives at tho Washington office every morning with wonderful accuracy and despatch. His successor would do well to imitate his; example, i but Mr. Conger is too young a man tp waste lifc? talents by remaining in office. He has capacities that ought to win for him per gonal benefits. It may not be generally known, that all the immense; mail that comes fu and goes out oif Washington, for the U. S. Goverment, has to pass through the-city post office, Such is the case and when one reflects ou the ! great amount of woik done in the several de partments almost entirely by j means of the postal service,, an idea of the quantity of matter handled in the . post office may be conceived. There is very I little per sonally conducted businpss, transacted in the Departments. Specially when Con greg i npt in session. It is all dpnp by cqrrpsppndence and by attprneyg who are- in porrespondencp and by attor neys who are in cprrespondence with their clients. Any que ho lives at a dis tance from the seat of goyerment, having a claim, a grievance, or money or lands to redeem, can have his business negotia ted just as well by letter, as he poul$ b,y being pcegent in persjqn. The widow of the late Sanator from Illinois, Gen. John A Logan, has re turned to Washington, from j that State and is at her residence,, op the hills, at the northern ecjgp of tfce,.: pity. She is still suffering from the accident, she met with duriug her recent visit to Chicago, where she went to consult about tbe final resting place of her husband. To day she is reported as being much bet ter. '. j . - Eugene Higgins, chief of the appoint ment; division in the Tf easpry is away at Long Branch on, a three iveeksj vacation aud is enjoying himself with his usual song froid. Mr. Higgins is at present the best advertised, and tbe most abused man of the 'Administration. He takes it'ajl very coolly and was never known tp com plain off the inigpriminate and unproven charges that arp bjpiigkt against him. Once he was. heard to say, "Why don't some ope say something good about me, wheu I am so nmch abused I have ser ved a great many people, a good turn in my time. There are some who oright to remember, me kindly, and so there are, many, a timid frightened a,ppli&ant for offices, does remember Mr. Higgins with kindness, His cheerful good nature and easy pleasant manners have often restor ed confidence and awakened hope in the heart pf many a downcast man and women. He has tbe lnack of malting a refusal seem a benefaction, and no one can say he ever answered them roughly or rudely. He is a fine looking man and does not look his 'fifty seven years ip spite. c hs i grey hair and moustache. Bui thepublic are fiiore interested in abuse than in praise, so Higgins gets more than his share be--tween being the Bavsbas of the civil ser vice league and the scape goat of the Dem ocrktic party he has had a very unpleas ant sort of greatness, since now-a-davs greatness means .notoriety, thrust vpon him . But his friends know him to be by no. means as black as he is painted. The Siamese princes and suito arrived in Washington this morning. The prin jces are quite young, their ages ranging from nine to fifteen years.
