A LAWYER AND A PRIESTS IDEA OF REsrI-
ruTIoN.-In Chicago, few weeks ago, one
Of the most distinguished lawyers in that city
was waited upon by Bishop Vandeveld and
Father McElhern, Of the Catholic Church,
and presented with eight dollars which the
bishop said was restitution made to the law
yer by one of Father McElhern's flock, for a
wrong done to him to that amount.
"What was the nature of the wrong. or BY
whom it was done, the bishop and priest re-
fused of course to divulge, as the knowledge
of it had been obtained through the confess
sional. The lawyer refused to take the
money offered as it was, as payment in full
for wrong done. on the ground that wrong
could no. b" made right by money. The per-
son who did the wrong must confess the deed
to the injured party, that unjust suspicious OF
innocent persons, which might have been
arc used, could be removed, that the real of
fender could be forgiven, and the whole &C.
count squared between the parties. The
taking OF the eight dollars from some un.
known person, for some unrevealed wrong
was no Fighting of the matter at all. So the
lawyer argued, to which the priest replied BY
leaving the money on the lawyers desk, ant
politely and quietly retiring" $3.50

HEAVY RoBBERY CT GOLD DUST. - The
police authoriti es of New York have been
furnished with information respecting heavy
robbery of gold dust on board the steamship
Union, which reached that port on Wednes-
day night. Upon opening the wooden boxes,
they were found to contain shot and iron
weights, instead of gold dust. The boxes
were doubled cased, and banded with iron,
with seals nearly as good as new, showing
that the operators were skilled in their BUSH
ness. The amount OF missing dust reaches
nearly $4,000, insurance of which falls upon
two or three banking houses in New York.
The consignment to one firm is covered by
insurance in London. tits thought that the
robbery was committed at some point where
the steamer touched during her homeward
passage.

The New Orleans True Delta Of Wednes.
day says that on the previous day Lola Mon
tez had quarrel with her maid, who demand
ed payment for her work and dismissal from
service, and urged the demand with so much
democratic daring, that the Countess grew
furious, and forgetting her arstocratic dis
tincticns of rank, "pitched into her." vulgar
ly so speaking, and gave her what comical
Irishman, said to have been named Paddy,
once gave the drum.
The maid then proceeded to the Recorders
Office and obtained warrant for Lola Mon
tez's arrest which two officers of the city
police attempted consequently to execute at
her residence. III iagF
The danseose, however, refused to submit
to the law, and threw herself on her dignity,
an declared that she was countess The
officer declared that countesses did not pass
current in this country. Then drawing a
dagger the far Lola declared that she would
defend her own liberty and honor.
Matters had now arrived a pretty pass.
The flashing eye of the heroine Of Bavaria
was as fearful and brilliant asths bright blade
she hald in her dexterous hand, and the two
officers quaIed before her.
At length, when one of them engaged the
attention ofthe heroine in front, and with a
bravery which did honor to his Moslem badge
parted her passes, the other, by counter
movement, made an attack from the rear and
seized the countess by the arms Now came
the tug of war. The Countess lost her dirk,
but her teeth were left, and she used them on
the hands and persons Of her opponents with
an energy that proved their souIdness.
While this storm was going ON within, the
friends of the Countess gathered around her
dwelling, and appeared t. be sadly g'ieved at
the turn which things had taken. Some OF
them at length got into the room, and the
Countess by move, for a moment obtained
her liberty, at their request.
She then stepped up to the sideboard, seiz-
ed a small phial label led poison, swallowed
the contents, and then with triumphant
voice exclamed--''NowI shall be free from
all further indignity!" 1t followed, of course,
that the Countess tainted, came too, smoked
two segdrs, tainted again, anu the officers,
though doubling the reality OF the poison were
fain to leave their fair arrestee, under prom
Use made by her riends, that in due time she
would appear before the Recorder.
The True Delta concludes its statement by
saying that the matter has been compromised
between the mistress and the maid, and that
the poison has luckily turned out most haria
less.

The HOMESTEAD OF JErFERsoS.-A recent
visitor to Monticello, thus writes OF Jefferson's
once beautiful residence:
"The estate is now in possession of a naval
officer who makes it his summer residence.
We found on the first floor bust of Jefferso n,
portrait of Lafayette, one of Washington,
and couple of "Whig principles" written
on them. The estate is in very dilapidated
condition. The stone fences are falling
down. But a small portion of the soil is cu!-
tivated, the gardens bloom no more, and the
ivy clings bu: timidly to the walls. Mr.. JEFF
ferson had 81 me queer notions concerning his
domestic matters. He had subterranean pas
sages constructed, leading from his house to
the quarters of his servants, SO that they
could carry on their work, and still not be
seen by the guests. Among other things he
built a 'windmill,' on a high elevation, ESQ
my friend informed me, who knew him well
and was acquainted with all his peculiarities; }
but after its completion. having spent a con.
siderable amount Of money in its erection,
the question was proposed 20 him by his mill.
wright, 'How in the world were logs to be
raised to such height!' This was a poser
to Mr.. Jefferson. The mill worked admira.
BILE, but there was no way to get the materials
to it to work on, and so the project failed;
and portions of the sold mill stand u monu-
ment of his folly"

AQuAKER's REBUKE.-A young fop of an
infide turn, while travelling in a stage coach
sought to display his smartness BY attempting
to pick flaws in the narratives of Scripture.
After trying to snow the Inconsistency and
improbability of several events described in
the Bible, he referred to the life of Nebu-
chadnezzer, and argued that it was utterly
absured and impossible for man to forget
his human instincts, as to eat grass like q
beast. Having stated his views he asked the
opinion of the passengers, and among the
rest grave looking Quaker, who had hither.
to taken no part in the convers ltion.

The New-Englanders have been perpetual
ly charged with an excessive love OF money :,
But good system of education is beyond
doubt the most expensive of Injuries, and yet
it is one, in which these money lovers indulge
most literally. The annual appropriations,
says, Mr.. Everett in the Boston Daily Adver-
tiser, of the City oil Cambridge for the support
of her public schools, a city Of about 10000
inhabitants, exceeds the entire annual amount
Of all the funds bestowed upon Harvard Uni
versty, and applicable to the business OF in
structon since its foundation; that is of the
college proper, and not the professional
schools and schooling is more then half of the
entire expenditure oil the Commonwealth, for
the support of all the public establishments
and the salaries Of the public officers. These
munifcient appropriations are not provided
for out of the income OF ancient eudowments;
they are met by taxation from year to year.
Thus people, pretty roughly treated by fl p
pant tongues, in their municipal democracies,
voluntarily impose upon themselves the heavi-
est tax paid by any people in the world for the
purposes of education.
"T.ese LIBERAL pecuniary appropriations,
however, are but the first step; they give you
school-houses, school-libraries, apparatus and
| fuel, and the salaries of teachers; but the
teachers themselves are not to be had merely
by paying for them. A class of seiiful, ac-
compshed and conscientious teachers can
only be gradually formed. They must be
men and woman, a considerable part of them
who have chosen the work Of education as
the business of their lves-who give to it
their time, their abilities and their hearts.
Such class OF teachers is not to be had by
asking for it. 1t must foam itself in the
bosom of an intelligent virtuous community,
that knows how to prize them-that holds
them in high esteem, as some of its most hon.
ored public servants. There are portions of
our country-in which if you were to stud
them thick with beautiful school-houses, with
all their appliances, apparatus and libraries
you could not work the system for want OF
teachers, nor get the teachers merely by ad-
vertsing for them. Sir, l say it for no COM
plim emit in this place the sehool-teachers in
this community constitute class inferior in
respec liability to no other, rendering the most
impor tant services, by no means over-com-
pensated, rather the reverses l consider their
charac ter and reputation as part of the
MORALITY. Y. Observer.
