Boston Transcript, that there are from 300

ent time in Boston. They are mostly worked
by girls, some of whom earn as high as $14

of sewing machine girls is about Sc, being a
fraction more than shoemakers' average wages.

DESPERATE MURDER IN DELLA
WARE.

George Parker, negro of desperate
character, living near Dover, Delaware, got
into quarrel, on Wednesday week, with
bis wife, who was sick, and became so en-
ragged that he seized gun and fred at her
nurse, SCATTERING her arm dreadfully. Sew
oral white men, who hurried to the house,
we're compelled to retreat to the woods to
save their lives, as he attacked them with
savage ferocity. His subsequent conduct
is thus related by the Milford Beacon:
"This negro not being satisfied with his
evenings exploit, proceeded after night to
the house of Mr. George Slaughter, in the
same neigh borhOOd knocked at the door,
and, on its be ing opened by Mr..
Slaughter himself, he raised a gun to fire,
and that gentleman only escaped with his
life by slamming the door too in his face
and fastening it. The desperate being
thus disappointed, anda thirst for blood
still raging in his heart, went to bis own
dwelling and set it on fire, the light ofwhich
drew some of the neighbOrS to the scene
but, before any assistance could be render
ed, he had actually cut the throats of two
of his own children, one of whom he had
threw into the fire, where it was consum-
ed, and the other he threw into the yard.
By this time posse of men had arrived
from Dover to arrest the negro, who still
held possession of his gun and ammunition,
and, after firing several Intellectual shots at
him, the villain, taking his turn, also fired,
but without effect; one of the party, ia
king advantage of the opportunity, while
the negro's gun was unloaded, advanced
within few PAGES of him and fired, near
ly the whole charge taking effect in the
negro's face and forehead, but without
bringing him to the ground, merely stag
gering him for the moment. He was
however felled to the ground, secured, and
taken to jail" ...

ADVICE TO PARENTs.-Be ever gentle
with the children God has given you;
watch over them constantly; reprove them
earnestly but not in anger. In the forci-
bic language Of Scripture, "Be not bitter
against them 'Yes they are good boys,
I once heard kind father say, 4 talk to
them very much, but do not like to beat
my children-the world will beat them
1t was beautiful thought, though not ell
egantly expressed. Yes, there is not one
child in the circle around the table, health
full and happy as they look now, on whose
head, if longer spared, the storm will not
beat. Adversely may wither them-sick-
ness may fade them-a cold world frown
on them. but amid all, let memory carry
them back to home where the law of kind
ness reigned, whercth Other'sreproving
eye moistened with tear, and the father
frowned "more in sorrow than in anger"
Give your children fortune without edu-
cation, and at least one half will 60 down
to the tomb of oblivion-perhaps ruin
Give them an education, and they will be
a fortune to themselves and their country.
It is an Inheritance worth more than gold;
for it buys true honor--they can never
spend nor loose it; and through life it sv-
er proves friend-in death consolation.

SECRET CATHOLIC CoUNcIL.-We learn
from our Baltimore exchanges that Arch
bishop Kenrick recently convoked in that
city secret council of the Bishops of his
province where business of high impor-
tance was transacted by the help Of doz-
en- of pro-consuls of his Holiness in the
United States. We agree with cotempo.
rary that as long as the high representa-
tives of the Pope in America hold secret
meetings, no politician or editor has a
word iu condemnation, but when Amer
leans unite in private councils, loud are
the impreeations against them, and they
are called mid night assasSins, mur.
derers, traitors, Christless, Goddess, and
rufians! We hope that the Catholic press
will have no more abuses for the Know
Nothings, as We believe they have the
same right as foreiJn Bistop' to meet Sc
