: I
have been exposed, Of fatu;-iIl yasioNs1paces,
calls for immediate Interference Of the more
respectable and refined members of the faculty.
| Demonstrators should be careful-very careful,
indeed-how portions of human remains which
they may sell to students are disposed of, when
they have served the purposes for which they
were purchased. 1t may be replied, that heads
of colleges have no power to compel their pu-
pills, who purchase such things, to have them
secretly and thoroughly inferred; but it is our
opinion, that ample provision should be made
within the precincts of college areas for the
interment of cut-up subjects, and moreover,
that it be obligatory on those students who are
permitted to take subjects to their rooms for
| surgical practice, to return them again at the
peril Of suspension from college honors for
time sufficiently long to serve punishment.
These remarks are suggested by the report of

of human remains, in whole, or in part-Aoat-
ing in barrels, travelling by railroad, lying in
streets, or hidden under rubbish.
FASTING AND EcoNoMY. Good Friday was OBJ

Executive, in the State Of Iowa-the result

able fact, and one pertinent to the lasting
subject, that those places which, during the
! past year, have been economical, have not
been cursed with thievish authorities, which
have not speoulated too highly, or endeavored
to make tremendous fortune in a short time,
WHICH have carried on a safe, economical
trade, not loaning money at three per cent.
month, but doing in all things between man
and man as they would be done by-we repeat,
such places are found, in a great measure, to
have escaped the hard times. We opine, with
all imaginable respect to prejudices in this
matter, that if people for the coming year will
do business upon living, careful, economical
basis, ignoring wild speculation and swindling
of all sorts, that the result would, as a whole,
be quite as or more beneficial than any results
founded on going twelve hours with an empty
stomach.
PRICES OF SLAvEs.-"A.," writing from
Charleston, S. c., to the Cleveland Herald,
says:
saw several hundreds of slaves sold in Rich
mond in January, and here also, and some to-
day, ut from $500 to 81 ,S00--the average being
for old and young, hale and decrepid, probably
$1,000. Occasionally extraordinary ones as to
quality, as mechanics, will bring SO ,O00
Most of those saw were destined for the South
west, where their labor is more remunerative
for the planters there can pay double the price

to see the places Of their nativity; but, from
their manner and conversation, and music, too,
they appeared to enjoy travelling much more
than their fellow passengers of lighter hue.
PREACHING IN THEArERs A FAnuRE.-The
New York correspondent of the Boston j Jour-
nal writes in his last letter: The trial of Sun
day preaching in theaters has been fully tested
in New York. l think it will not be repeated
another year. AS q general thing, the pastors
OF the city do not approve of it. And the wis
dom of hiring theater at the cost of from
800 to $3.50 per night, calling people from
other churches, thinning those churches that
are kept open, and shutting up many that
would be open but for this, is not apparent.
| The great crowds that attend come not from
the masses that do not attend any where, but
from the mass who are among the elite of our
churches. On last Sunday the Academy of
Music held a large audience, but it was not
crowded of old. The National Theater is
closed as house of preaching Niblo's Saloon
will be closed with the last Sabbath in April,
and those who have led in the experiment are
satisfied that churches are the places to hold
services on the Sabbath.
No PLACE LIKE HOME FOR GIRLs.--We clip
the following from the Philadelphia Ledger
Half the victims of these houses have been
domestics-that is, most of them have prob
ably been servants in hotels or boarding
houses, but they have all lived out of the home
circle. This home circle is the only adequate
and most natural protection for an unsOphisti-
Gated woman-the true place whence man
may select virtuous wife, In proportion as
that circle is kept up and the females of fam

If this one fact could be borne in mind
by honest parents and enterprising children
there would not be many anxious to leave
homes in the country to seek precarious liv-
ing in factories or in the city, thronging them.
