The Mission Chapel School.

1t has seemed to me that brief statement
respecting tho -Mission Chapel Industrial
School might be of some interest to the public,
and of some service to the band of ladies who
are devoting so much of their time and money
to secure its prosperity. Permit me, then, to
ask a moments attention to the objects, results,
and wdntS of the school.
Its first object is to teach children plain sew
ing but, with this, many things of still great
er importance, viz ORDER neatness, industry,
selfcontrol, a regard for truth, virtue, in fine
whatsoever things are lovely and of good re-
port" Singing is made pleasant accessory
to the interest of the children in the school, and
poor mother is aided in clothing her little ones,
while they acquire a laudable pride to wear
garments of their own making.
Except during a summer vacation the school
has met every afternoon for sixteen months.
Beginning with twenty-six scholars, it had
present, April 20th one hundred and eighty
two-its average for the last three months be-
ing one hundred and fifty. Forty ladies have
given their best energies to its management
and instruction. Under their direction more
than three hundred and fifty garments have
been made, and the Sewing Circle of the Mis-
sion has doubtless added as many more-chief-
ly secondhand clothing reftted by them.
Does any one ask, how are the materials for
such generous outlay procured That is the
very object of this communication. The sec
ond-hand clothing is brought to the chapel by
the benevolent from all parts of the city. The
following list will show who have kindly aided
in procuring materials to be made up in the
school:

THE CUSTODY OF CHILDREN.-In Deem
Der last, John Latin of Brooklyn, N. Y, while
on his death-bed, executed an instrument sur
rendering his two children to the care and
management of a benevolent association in
that city. After the death of Latin, the
grandfather of the children claimed their Gus
tody and obtained a guardianship from the
Surrogate. The directors, however, refused
to surrender the children, and the grandfather
sued out writ of habeas corpus for their re-
lease. The case then came before Judge Nor
ris, who held that the father was in an enfee-
bled state of mind when he affixed his mark
to the instrument; that the transfer therein
contemplated was merely contingent, and
would not have deprived him of the custody
of his children in case he had lived-therefore
that it was a surrender unauthorized by the
statute, and, in consequence, void. He con-
sequently directed thatsthe children be deliv-
cred to their legal guardian, the grandparent.

out the entire neighborhood on Cove street.

1t had long been a matter of regret to scien-
tifc men, that four manuscripts, known to
have been written by Descartes, and bearing
the following titles Reconsideration on Sci
ence in General" Something on Algebra, y
Experiments" and "0lympica," had disap-
peared, leaving no trace of their existence.
Count Foucher de Careil has now discovered
copies of them in an old press, which had not

1t is stated upon excellent authority that the
negroes on the well-known Gusts estate, OPP
posite to Washington, who were freed by Mr..
Custis's will, are still hard at work upon the
plantation. Not one has been set free, and not
only that, they are treated with great harsh
ness.
The husband of Mrs. Peter Perry, of Port
Clinton, Ohio, was drowned recently. The
ment she received the intelligence of his loss,
up to the hour of her death, few days ago,
she never exhibited signs of sanity, being per-
fectly wild and delirious.
One of the surprises prepared for the New
England Knights Templars, now in Virginia,
was given at the Theatre Monday evening"
when at the close of the first act of the admir-

establishment of the occupants of the parquet,
a shower of roses descended upon them from
the aperture above.

The military critic of the New York Tri-
bune-whoever he may be--is of the opinion
that the first fruits of the European war will
be a succession of Austrian victories, provided
always 1t be true that the Austrian army, l20,-
900 strong, crossed the Ticino, on the day in
Dictated in the Adelades news He assumes
that the Sandman army, 10000 all told. con
centrated between Casale and Alessandria, at
a distance of not more than forty miles from
the Milan, one of the Austrian centres of op.
GRAFTON, will be annihilated, or sent headong
in defeat, long before the French reinforce
ments can reach the scene Of action.-C Chicago
Press and Tribune.
The New York Tribunes military critic is
usually very unfortunate in his Vaccinations.
They are apt TO be more oracular than relia-
Bile. He has been quite confident of seeing the
Sandman army "hurled over the Alps" by
the Austrians, to the everlasting confusion of
that bad fellow, Louis Napoleon He is likely
TO be disappointed, which, however painful to
himself will not be very disastrous to the
world.
Efforts are being made to supercede Mr..
Dallas as Minister to Great Britain by Mr..

viii do in the Northwest when they have fully
established themselves in possession of politi-
cal supremacy in that part of the Republic.
Moreover, the measure that has been adopted
here establishes an offensive prescription which
did not previously exist. The complaint
is, not that we have not gone forward fast
enough but that we have taken a step back
ward, and that, too, in direct violation
of the Republican platform and, worst of all,
it has been done to conciliate dead know
nothingism, which everybody has ceased to
respect, and which would have passed out of
sight and been forgotten everywhere, if it had
not been kept astir in this State by skillful
galvanism 1t is some consolation to know
that this Two Years Amendment will make
final end of it.

In Cincinnati the Know Nothings and Dem

the coming State election. The coalition is as
yet confined to Hamilton county, but is to be
pushed throughout the State, j. Scott Harri-
son, son of the exPresident, being the candi-
Wing and American antecedents, and the COM
bination is made with the full concurrence of
the Democratic party. He is to run as an in
dependent candidate, and the Democrats are to
give him their support. So says that bluest

The Maine Democracy invite Judge Doug

claim their determination to send to Charles
