Speech of Cassius M. Clay, at Cleve-
land.

We had the pleasure of listening to tn,
able speech of Cassius NJ. Clay, delivered
at the Academy of Music. in Cleveland, on
last Friday evening. On the stand with
the speaker were Hon. John Crowell and
Hon. R. F. Paine.
Mr.. c. revived the course of the present
administration, showed the relation of cap
ital and labor, the effect of slavery upon
both, and gave Douglas just 50 much cred
it as he deserved for his share in the con-
csption of the Kansas Nebraska bill.
His reference to the threats of disuniOn
from the southern men in case of the cleo
ton Of a Republican Speaker, was rich.
The Herald says;
When the event occurred they according
ly put on their coats, picked up their canes
and rushed of-to the Treasury to get their
per diem. The last that was heard of the
Shareholders of Kentucky and Tennessee,
they were drinking Catawba, and halloOiDg

some years ago; he is larger and his hair

days, but what was lacking in that respect
was more than made up in strength.
Mr.. Clay is one of the most prominent
candidates for the Republican nomination
for the Presidency.

HORRIBLE AccIDEST-A LITTLE GIRL
BURNED TO DEATH WHILE At PRAYER-A
shocking camphene accident occurred at the
residence of Mrs, Eckels, on Poplar street,
night before last. by which an only child.
a little girl about five years old, was fatal
ly injured, aud her mother badly burned.
The child had Just concluded its evening
prayer, preparatory to retiring for the
night, when the mother picked up a cam
phene lamp, which fell from her hand and
breaking. the contents were thrown all over
the clothing of the girl. She was almost
instantly enveloped IN sheet of flame, and
before it could be extinguished, was so
shockingly burned that she died soon after.
The mother in her efforts to save her child
from the devouring element. was also badly
burned about the body and arms-Ciacil-

Mileage Question in Congress.

John Sherman, of Ohio, Chairman of the
COMMITTEE Of Ways and Means, in the
House, has made a move to cut off the
roundabout mileage of Members of Congress
which. strange to say, came so near passing
that it wa ordered to a third reading by
the decided vote of l28 to #. 1t was f.
nally consigned to the Speakers desk by
some dsdge of the opposition, but it will
probably be got up again and passed. 1t
should BE-, and if a law, would save the
country some $780, 900 a year. 1t fixes
the mileage Of members at twenty cents for
every mile travelled by a straight geograph-
ical line, from the residence to the Capital,
instead Of the existing rate of forty cents
by the usually Travelled route. Railroads,
and other rapid modes of travel, have done
nothing to cheaper mileage to the treasury,
members coolly pOcketing all the advan-
tages, in addition to the $4,000 salary.
The bill may be killed. but Mr. Sher-
man is, nevertheless entitled to the thanks
of the country for having brought it for
ward. 1t is disgraceful to the members
who oppose a measure of such marked JUS
tice, and so clearly from mercenary motives,
The mileage of members is enormous
Simple justice to the National Treasury de-
mands that Mr.. Sherman's bill should be-
come a law. This ~meandering to and from
Washington at heavy expense. has been

The Columbus correspondent Of the Gin.
Commercial writes thus:
COLUMBUS, Feb. 81. 1860.
Senator Garfield delivered a very touch
ing discourse yesterday morning before the
convicts in the chapel of the Penitertiary.
His theme was .faithfulness drawn from
the parable of the talents in Matthew s
Gospel. 1t is not my purpose to sketch
the thoughts of the speaker-sufice it that
he addressed his peculiar audience with 4
pathos and power which affected many of
them to tears. While holding up the
mirror of their earthly homes, and remind
ing them of the innocence of their child
hood, the pure aspirations Of their youth, the
fond hopes aud the prayers of their moth
ers; the speaker suddenly faltered, his
voics grew tremulOus and be seemed suffo-
eating with sudden grief. Regaining his
self possession, he proceeded with deeper
earnestness, rendered doubly impressive by
a sadder tone. He said afterwards, that
he suddenly met the gaze of an old and
once loved school fellow in tie midst of his
strange Audience man. he said, whom
l was once proud to call my friend. When
his eyes met mine, he was almost over
whemned, and his own terrible anguish
manifested itself in convulsive signs. which
he supposed only by fearful efforts The
shock to myself, was almost insupportable.'
1t was the first time the speaker had seen
his convict friend since his Imprisonment,
and he had mcmentarily forgotten his as
sociation with that awful society. The
recognition was mutually instant. The
seven years term of the prisoner will ex-
pire in a few months, when he will COM
mence another term of eight years in the
Indiana P~enitentiary. He is young man
of talent, and during his term, has shown
singular dezterity upon several occasions.
in devising expedients to promote his es-
cape from confinement.
Citizens who h ard Mr.. Garfeld's dis
course, pronounced it singularly eloquent
and appropriate. 1t was very evident that
the sympathies of spectators were intensely
wrought by the effect produced upon con-
victs hardened by crime and evil a@ssocia-
tons.

word for our new Educational Monthly
successor to the Ohio Journal of Educa-
ton Our Teachers ought to have some

really worthy, who does not seek some aid
from communings with such minds, as Page,
Mayhem, Northend, Mansfield and Lewis.

learn which they ought to know. and might
know, by devoting a little time to reading
about their " business. Yet how few
teachers read anything of this kind. The
