Local Matters.

BRIcK MAKING-The season thus far has been
unpropitious for this business, and builders suffer
great inconvenience in consequence, while brick
layers, who ought now to be reapng rich harvest,
subjected TO serious loss of time. But for this
their business would probably be better at this
ment than it has been III Washington for many
years.
A CRuEL WoMAS.-A German woman was OH
Friday last brought before Justice Dom, who,
upon sufficient testimony, bound her over to keep
the peace. II appeared that she had most cruelty
beaten, with a cowhide, her step-daughter, child
but seven or eight years old The vixen of a wo-
man defed every one. and declared when a child
her own she had right to whip her as she
pleased. The magistrate taught her otherwise,
and we presume that she will find even in her hum
BILE sphere that the opinions of her ncighbors will
compel her TO assume milder demeanor. That
thing Of public opinion in this country has been
called tyranty bat we think il gives very amiablc
manifestations of its tyranny, when it inculcates
mercy, temperance, and suchlike virtues.
MARYLAsD AvENUE.--We rejoice TO see that the
work OF grading this beautiful avenue is rapidly
progressing and that the Southern Liberties"
will soon possess one Of the most delightful tho
roughfares our city can boast. We will have now
an excellent route for pleasant level drive, with
out encountering the noise and impediments Of
Pennsylvania avenue; though we suppose many
years will not pass before this, too, will be pretty
densely built up, and have its lines of omnibuscs
running from the steamboat wharf the foot of the
Capitol The location of the Smi thsonian Institu-
ton, with its outrageous enclosures, and the Ma
tional Monument and its dependencies, are fortu-
incidents for the Islanders and will contribute
wonderfully TO the adornment Of our whole city.

Growth and Improvement of phiIadeIphia.

GREAT HoTEL-We find that the idea of a
great hotel in Philadelphia meets with very general
favor. The sentiment is nearly universal, that such
an establishment, while il would not interfere in
the slightest degree with the many excellent hotels
already in the full tide of successful experiment,
would attract additional thousands of strangers to
our city, and thus assist trade and business OF every
description. Philadelphia, it is conceded on all
hands, is one of the most delightful places of resi-
dence in the world. We have all the comforts, all
the convenience, and all the luxuries, and our
population is increasing at rate beyond all pre-
cedent. New towns, too, starting into exist
ence all around us, and when the Central railroad
shall be completed, the volume OF travel will in
crease 10 such extent that our present accommo-
dations, although ample under existing circum-
stances will prove altogether inadequate. mann
moth hotel therefore, ia absolutely indispensable,
and il should be in readiness by the time that the
great iron highway between this city and Pittsburg
becomes available for all the ordinary purposes OF
travel. II lie important, moreover, that such en-
terprise should commence speedily, for it will
be impossible TO obtain suitable site, any thing
like reasonable terms. Philadelphia Is entitled 20
something grand and magnificent, in the way Of a
central hotel, and the wonder Is, when the facts
are consideredj that some OF our monaires have
not before this, embarked in so laudable enter
prise.-Inquire.

prosperity OF the State for generations to We
glad to the list of delegates elected, the
names of men of talent, of sound Judgment of legisa-
tive experience and of the qualities of the poti-
elan, honesty of purpose. Many different policies have
already been discussed in different political papers and
candidates nominated for different offices in the Conven-
ton but we have nomination Tor the Office, most
important, In estimation, that OF Chaplain. The
members elect believe in the experimenting providence
of the Supreme Ruler Of the Universe and that he gives
wisdom to those who seek at the of light and
TRUTH and trust some of them daily bow in adora-
ton and worship at His throne Of grace. And will it
be appropriate for them untedly to worship God
and daily seek his guidance matters important
will be considered by that bodyl The influence of a
devotional exercise at the opening of the meeting in the
morning would have an influence upon all the proceed
ngs of the day There would be less bitterness of feel
ing less of party anmosty elimination and recrimna-
ton, of of responsibility to the present and
coming generations and above all the great and f.
nal Judge The influence of prayer in calming the dis
urbed feelings arising in exciting debate, is beauti-
fully illustrated IN what occurred in the Convention
which framed the Constitution of the United States
After long continued discussions of exciting questions
in the Hall of Assembly in Phila 1887, and there
seemed prospect of harmony upon points of vital i'm
portance and members beganto despair of forming unit
cd for these infant States and think of
turning to their homes without accomplishing the object
for which they had been called together, Franklin pro-
posed that Chaplain be called in and that prayers be
offered daily in the Convention. The proposition pre-
vailed, and their object was accomplished. And who
estimate the prosperity and happiness Of nation
the present day resulting from the humble bat
petitions which from day day. from the devout
men assembled thercl And what results may follow a
like course in Convention which is meet in our
State calculate only from the fact that the
benevolent being still presides the destines of
and ofnaons and still freely grants wisdom guide
the path of truth And what can be the objections

be opposed the ground of expense for that Office

ground Of sectarianism, for who would not willingly

by those who were present from this city, TO have

About nine o'clock the company began to arrive, and
the Reception Committee appointed by the various
Lodges of this city, entered the Hail. preceded by the
Newport Band. Shortly after the Delegates from the
various States Of the Union, entered in Regalia and
welcomed the city and the Order by brief per-

The present Population of St. Louis.

The ST. Louis Union of the 9Th inst. gives the fol-
lowing account Of the almost incredible increase in
the population of that city The editor says:
We have been informed by gentlemen now engaged in
this cy in taking the census for 1880 that popua-
ton within the entire limits Of the city, viii fall very
lttle if any, short Of ninety thousand souls. This
truly wonderful increase, and it is still more wonder
full when look the preparations for future progress
indicating that the city just beginning to grow IL
not unreasonable suppose that when the next censu:
is taken in 1850 ST. Louis will be the second city, in
west. what the city Of New York Is to the east.
In 1870 ST. Louis contained only p $40 souls III ter
years we therefore find she has nearly quadruped hen
population Is there any city in the Union that will com
pare with this ratio Of increase
