The friends of Education in Cook Co., H.,
held Convention at Chicago, and after consid-
cradle debate on the interests and requirements
of Education, appointed a committee to prepare
amendments to the School Law of that State,
and system of rules to be introduced to the
Public Schools for their government.
Sanders Series of Readers, and Day and
Thompson's System of Arithmetics was recon-
nended for the use of the Schools in that coun-
ty.
BY the way, what is the reason that the State

cation since his election to the office-but we

Law AND ITS wHIMs.-When Judge Parsons
was practising lawyer he was once employed
to plead two cases in court, which were precise
y alike, but in one he was engaged for the de-
PENDANT and the other for the plaintiff. 1t hap
pened that both cases were tried the same day; he
spoke for an hour to the first jury and the case
was given to them and they retired. When he
appeared before the second jury he made use of
of very different arguments from those employed
by him before, of which the court took notice
reminding him that he seemed to have changed
his tone, and repeated to him what he had said but
few minutes before. Mr.. Parsons fixed his keen
eye upon the judge and replied: ''May it please
your Honor, l Might haze been aorong half an
hour ago, but row Ikao,o lam right" He pro-
ceeded. and, when the juries returned, it was
found he had gained verdict in both cases.

PURE GOLD Us. BRAss.-Horace Greeley lee
tured in Chelsea, on Thursday evening, and
spent the night there. In the morning boat over
he was the centre of attraction to large num-
Der who thronged the cabin, and all unconscious
ly he stood reading paper, unmindful of the
notice he was exciting. Everybody knows his
utter carelessness about external show, and the
characteristic dress which bears no smilitude
to present modes, the white coat and hat dating
long before the birth of present fashion. Upon
a seat somewhere opposite sat, in the elegance
of mode, gentleman, revealed from hat to
boots. He was said to be an ex-preacher, quite
noted for the facility with which he can change
his theological creed and also for the particular
niceness of his outside habits Looking with
sneering expression upon the philosopher, he
turned to bystander and whispered, "what
specimen of humanity!" The force of the re-
mark could only be appreciated by contrasting
the intelects of the two individuals. Strange
to say, nobody looked at the pretty clothes Of the
top, but every eye was upon the specimen that
the old white coat encased. Pathfinder.

Final Action OF the Conn mon Council
upon the Fugitive Slave Law.

The following preamble and resolution have
passed the Common Council of Chicago by a
vote of 10 in favor and against.
Whereas, The Fugitive Slave Act, recently
passed by Congress, is revolving to our moral
sense, and an outrage upon our feelings justice
and humanity, because it disregards all the Sc
curities which the Constitution and laws have
thrown around personal liberty, and its direct
tendency is to ALLEVIATE the people from their love
and reverence for the Government and lnstitu-
ton ofour couutry,-therefore.
Resolved. That as the Supreme Court of the
United States has solemnly adjudged that State
officers are under no obligations to fulfil duties
imposed upon them as such officers, by act of
Congress, we do not therefore consider it our
duty, or the duty of the city officers of the city
of Chicago, to aid assist in the arrest of fugi-
tives from oppression; end by Withholding such
aid or assistance, we do not believe that our
Harbor appropriations will be withheld, our Rail-
roads injured our commerce destroyed, or that
treason would be committed against the Govern
ment

This most excellent and charming lady had long suffered
