In the state of Illinois populur opinion is at last beginning to recognize womun's true worth. Mr*. Ada H. Kepley wua a short time since admitted to the Bar as an attorney, and now thoy have elected her a member of the School Board of the city of Effingham in which s e lives. 4 ♦ ♦ It lyu^topifopcatedly said that Life Saving Station No. 31 was of no u*« whatever, and some have advocated its abolition, but recent events prove concmHiveiy1 mm — mew ppimum- - «*■»«' erroneous. The crew were of great service on -Sunday • morning last and we hope no more will be said about abolishing "No. 31. In LiBfvj«u. u •- - iul* ruled that the name* of two lawyer* should be stricken from the rolls, on account of matter published in newspapers of which they were the editors. In his ruling the Judge said that the voluntary assumption of editorial duties by attorney* does not relieve them from the obligations of their oath* as members of the Bar.

If you purchase of your merchant, and do not find the article »s represented, you have your redress. But with peddlers this is not so; besides, they arc not infrequently robbers in disguise, ft is far better to have no dealings with them. Their wares and goods, though seemingly cheap, are not w hat they arc represented to be, and they arc tho dearest you can buy. It is best to let them go their way. Besides, those who dwell in your midst and share with you the burden* of your city or town should receive your patronage. — — — - m W ■ ■■■ There are some peculiarities connected f with the discipline of erring clergymen1 that the ordinary "lay" mind is o ecuaionally puzzled over. For instance, here is Rct. Shepherd Cowley, convicted of starving children. And serving out therefor g twelve months' sentence in the penitentiary. And yet ecclesiastical proceeding* cannot, in the opinion of Rct. Morgan Dix, bo commenced against him while Ira i* confined, as heiaunable to respond to a summons to appear. He therefore remain*, ecclesiastically, a clergyman in good standing, though he wears tho stripes of a cortvict, and is almost universally believed to bo justly condemned. Another one of those horrible affair* raited the "demand of justice" took place at Washington, on April 2nd. J. 11. W, Stone, a negro wife murderer wa*

The blood spurted from tinbody in hot stream* and on the head being picked up by a physician the lip* were seen to move as if about to say ftometkiiig. This is only out case among s score of o*hor» that should servo to disgust (lie r ^Siwitl *>orbarou» practice of hanging. < a > The ex-Einpra** Eugenie of France, now detlironedsand exiled, widowed and Childless, is on her way to Zululand, to visit the spot where her sou was slain. The voyage of sorrow, now being mode by a stricken and spiritless mother, it* full of touching tenderness, and all Europe sympathize* with the weeping voyager. This lonely and beautiful woman ha* experience4 great changfcs. But a few years since, she was the idol of France, but sorrow lias fallen u]ion her with a heavy hand. Husband and son and mother have been taken from her iu rapid succession, and herself driven from the land which "has witnes*ed her glory and her fall." The unfortunate Empress ut last finds her-, self among strangers in a strange land. But she is not friendless. Her sorrow and her tears liuve been the seed which have sprung up and given her an infinite number of friends on both sides , of the great waters, and as she goes forth on her sad journey, muny sympathizing hearts go with her. FOR OUR LITTLE FRIENDS. We know a little boy, In another state, by the name of Charlie, and lie is happy. The first thing in the morning he crosses the street to the jeweler's, borrow* hi* dog .Jip.and come* leading him triumphantly, over home by a string tied about his neck. Then the menagerie commences, and as they go upon the principle that "a turn about is fair plav," sometimes Charlie is the hero and sometimes Jip. The performance continue* till late bed time, tho arena being hounded by tho four wall* and ceiling of tho sitting-room. Tho programme is occasionally varied by th© contact of Tahby and Jip in close contest for the poaoetgkin of the premise*, in v»hich Tf-nnO Is ghnnrtlliy tit'tw ww ■■ Am Miud, I did not say the rest of the family were hnppv. When you want a first class circus lot your children borrow the neighbor's dog. This same Charlie came home from Kinulss f«»%r wcuks Mine© and, on being asked by hi* sister who was playing on tho Piano, to help horsing "Hold the Fort," he replied, "No, but I will sing that one about "I've only toon down to tho Club." PENSIONS. The recommendation of Commissioner of Pension* Bentley that Congress shall pas* a bill to restrain pensioners from recklessly squandering the money which they receive from the Government, is an excellent one, and it merit* the favorable «•*- r of Co- and prompt \ . » . ft might seem at I I first glance that thi* is a subject with „ £6'ngre*s La* nothing whatever I to do, uml that it has no more business to say bow or in what manner tho I pcqsioiiert a* -ill spend their money than it bus to say < much with regard to the various *alar d employes of tho Government. It in at be torn in mind, however, that the pensioners a ro not employes, and that they do not come anywhere near standing in tho same relation* with the Government tlrnt its employe* do. A pension, to put the thing inplaln hi n image, is nothing more or lo*s than a charity, and the Government has a distinct right, in law and morals, to say that its charitable dispensation* shall not be recklessly wasted- 'by those who arc in 1-ocoipt of thorn . -A (H'twinn is granted usually on account of wound* and disabilities received in the military or naval service* It i* nn assistance to a man who has been deprived of hi* frill opportunities for making h comfortable living, or to tt^e family of such a man, and the pensioner who celebrate* the receipt nl'hi* allowance from the (tension fund by going off on a big drniik there- / by demonstrates, a* plain a* can he, either that he is not a proper subject for tho Government to dispense it* bounty upon, or that he is so incapable of taking proper care of himself that *omo restraints ought to be thrown around him. — Tet.RORAPn. INTERNATIONAL STUDY. Onaof the grandest peq|eet*of modem times is tho system for the simultanoou* study of definite portion* of tho Holy Scripture*, which has come into practice within a few year* past. By moan* of it, millions of people, young and old, In various countries of the world, are brought into a common lino of thought and feeling every Sunday, and to some extent during other days of tho week. It i* always interesting to know just

wtoi a friend a groat way off » doing at any particular time. Honoe It is a very pleasant thing for U* Uj . Md girl, of oar iiUotic 8uu» owl «Ati« to kuo» that at gbout the avery Bunday when they are studying and reciting th*ii Scripture leasonS, the very same lesson* are being studied And recited by ten* of thousand* of others of their own ago in all the Western Btate* and along the Pacific coast. Wot Urn pleasing is it (or the boy* and girl* of England, Scotland and Ireland to reflect that their English -speaking cousin* in Augtrklia, India and South Africa are each first day of the week oe cupied with tho lesson* and good thoughts that Sunday bring* to them. It -'»me'<~-*a0 been boasted that the Bun never 0 — iown o» boat of British soldiers. Under thesaum figure it may be more truly said that the Sabbath sun is always rising upon , the study of tho international lemons, for not only do English and American youth give attention to them, but also, though in smaller proportions, tin**' of liitttiy other countries in Europe, Asia ' and tho the islands of the ocean. But the pleoMurc derivable from these thoughts is of lea* value than the promise of mental and moral good to those embraced in this vast oircle of through thoiu. — (Joldbx Days. a thoughtless boy punished. 8. B. Pkll. "I shall never forget," remarked a friend of ours once, "an incident of my childhood, by which 1 was taught to bo careful not to wound the feeling* of the unfortunate. A number of u* school children were playing by the roadride, one Saturday afternoon, when the stagecoach drove up to e neighboring tavern, and the passenger* alighted. A* usual, we gathered around to observe them. Among the number wo* an elderly man, with a cane, who got out with much difticolty, and, when on tho ground, hewalked with the most curious contortion*. lli* feet turned one way, hi* knees another, and his whole body looked as though the different member* were independent of each other, and every one wa* making motion* to suit itself. "I unthinkingly shouted, 'Look at old lifttJlebone* !' while the poor man turned his head, with an expression of pain which 1 can never forget. Just t hen, to my surprise and extreme horror, my lather came around the corner, and, immediately stepping up to the stranger, ^bliook. -hi* hand warmly, and assisted him to walk to our house, which wa* but a short dt«tani:<"I could er\joy no more play that afternoon, and when tea-time came 1 would gladly have hidden myself ; but I Knew that would be in vain, aft SO tremblingly wfcnt into the sitting-roty". To my great relief, tlie stranger did not recognize me, but remarked pleasantly to my futher, As he introduced mo : " 'iSucli a fine fellow is worth saving P "llow the words cut me to tho quick ! My father had often told me the story of a friend who hail plunged into the river to save me, OS 1 was drowning, when an infant, and who, in consequence of a cold then taken, had been made a cripple by inflammatory rheumatism ; and this was the man I had i node a butt of ridicule and a laughingHtock %\y companions 1 •*l tell you, boys and girl*, 1 would give many dollars to have the memory of that event taken away. If ever you are tempted a* 1 was, remember that, while ho good coiue* of sport whereby the feelings of others are wounded, you may to laying up for yourselves painful recollection* that will not leave you for a lifetime. — Ex. thoughtle^sjness. Iii general, I have no patience with people who talk about the "thoughtlessness of youth," indulgently. 1 had infinitely rather hear of thoughtless old .1 gw and the im>n)genee duo to that When a man lias done his work and nothing can in any way be materially altered in his fate, let him forget hi* toil and jest with his fate, if he will, but what excuse can you fipd for willfulness of thought, nt the very time when every crisis of future fortune bangs on your decisions? A youth thoughtless l when the career of all his day* do|»ends on the opportunity of a moment! A youth thoughtless! when all the happiness of hi* home forever depend* on th# chanooM, or the passions of an hour ! A youth thoughtless! when his every Act i* a foundation stone of future conduct and every imagination a fountain of life or death ! Be thoughtless in any after years rather than now — though, indeed, there is only one place where a man may be nobly thoughtless — his deathbed . — Kl'SKIM. The last regular toast at*the annual *up(>er of the Hibcrnia society of Charleston, 8. 0,, a few evenings ago. was this: "Woman — Aggravating as a sweetheart, lovable as a wife, sublime as a mother i the Incarnation of the holy thoughts that cluster around the name of home."

Mr. Editor : — The happy coincidence of i pleasant spring weather and Easter i week Is a fact worthy of the tbaukfril heart which follows — or should follow — all rare endowments of Providence — for surely jt is an unusually good fortune which the ladies- now eqjoy, in being permitted, at this early season, to air tiieir new colors of appropriate warmth, j symbolical of the flowers which array * themselves in purple and white through | the meadows. And Hie throng of pedestrians, among whom many unfamiliar faces are visible, testifies to the full appreciation of the oppQrt unity thus oiforded them. The pUcea of amusement, too, come in for a share of the holiday |>erquisites, and the "Pirates of Penzance" the English Opera Company, and the exquisite instrumental performance* on Thursday afternoon* at i the Academy of Fine Arts, have re- j ceived during the last week a very large attendance. On Saturday afternoon the EmniA Abbott (>i»era Company ren<\on*a, to e pacwea irouse, xtaase** charm- ! L»g ofmra of "Paul ond^ Virginia," and ! ; if, in the construction of the orchestral harmony of the composition there are very marked deficiencies, the opportunities afforded, and so well improved by the prima donna, for paraionate dramatic music, amply compensate for j the shortcoming* of the composer and, ' fn spite of all bias, win the admiration i of the audience at once. The old familiar French story is some- j what changed, for the soke of dramatic | effect, but the (Hire and happy, while | yet undiscovered, affection of the two ! gifted young people, who, reared under i the benign influences of a ]>eaceful tropical island, remain— even to maturity — in ignorant bliss of the sorrows of jmrting, until the sad truth is flashed upon them ; the melancholy results of separ- t at ion upon mind and body, the power J of* the imagination to annihilate space and call up ^entrancing visions of the absent one, and the final reunion when alas ! too late, one lies in the arms of | the other, but a corpse cost up by the j camel waves : — all Hhcse strong life pictures are impersonated in the opera with charming effect. T«> day our annual Spring Art exhibition open* at the Academy, and among , the list of Artist* who compete for the laurels some familiar names from your Own state are not wanting. The di*p)ay of tallent, much of which is the offspring of tho excellent tuition , of our own Philadelphia schools, is highly commendable to those who have | really made an effort, but as such ex- j am pies are unfortunately in a minority in the collection, it must to confessed that there are many pictures hung, from the brushes xif those too, whom we know can do better, and who should not be satisfied to stake their reputations upon second rate work, that make but a sad contrast with the superior production* along side of them. It is with pleasure that we Philadelphi an* Warn from the papers of the project to run a line of vessels from New York to Cape May, which shall touch along the coast at the various points of interest, and thus establish a very inviting mode of travel totween the*© (Hunts, and at the same time afford visitors at any one place th© privilege of (>ulling up stakes when weary, and trying another without, for a moment breaking the sweet spell with whioh the presence of mother ocean ever • charm* u*.
