Pretty old Prime Of Life.

Mic. LongwOrth is q rich wag in more
senses than one During the visit Of the
sOuthrons to Cincinnati he invited the crowd
to visit his mammoth wine cellars, and gave
magnificent entertainment at his prineely
mansion, at a cost of some $4,000. While
guzzling his sparkling CataWba which flowed
free ss water, the following COllOquy, among
Others ensued;
"What is your age, Mr.. LOngWOrth? ~ said
one of the Kentucky delegation.
"Can you not tell by looking at my hair2 "
replied he.
IWen, no. continued the Kentuckiani "in
our State we do not determine by that rule,
but the number of years man has lived"
al do" said Mr.. LongWorth, sand a very
good rule it is. Now, mark me; whenever
you see a man with hair as scant and grey
as mine, set him aOlon as being in The prime Of
hfs-Or about serenity ssvsR years old.

Hirh rIms For a Change.

The Democrats have now had possession
and control of the government for seven years
in succession. What is the upshOtl Disor
ganization for two months in the House, and
disuniOn threatened by the Democrats in the
Senate and House in every speech they make
-disuniOn if the majority of the people choose
their own President under the provisions Of
the COnstitution-treason in the Legislatures
of nearly all the Slave Ststes-citizens of the
United States imprisoned and expelled from
Slave States fol freedom of thought and speech
--missionaries of treason, like Memminger Of
South Carolina, going about forming cOmpacts
for rebellion-States arming as is South Caro-
lima and Virginia to resist the General Govern
ment-and the first steps taken for Sectional
Convention to perfect the treason threatened
from North Carolina TO Texas.
Is it not fully time the government was res
cued from such an administration!

Social Enlsrtainmonts in washington.


''Roderick Random" writes that Washington
is dull this winter, that the parties are extreme
ly heavy, and the dinners very slow, owing to
non>Organization of the House. We quote;
These social meetings are becoming each year
more showy and formal, and with each thread
of lace put about some funkY's sleeve, there is
bound another cord upon the freshness Of life in
which lies only real enjoyment.
The President will give but two more of his
serious evening levees. They are not very we'll
attended and Old Buck is a prudent man, He
will leave the Presidential Chair with a very
snug fortune, saved from his salary,
| Last Friday there were numerous parties,
dinners, DC.
Buchanan gave dinrer party, at which Mrs.
| Crittenden in full dress, was the attra c,ion.-
| It is said the young ladies' present were quite
eclipsed by her The same day, Breckenridge
gave a dinner in honor of Mr.. Bishop, Oommls>
sioner of Patents, who is about resigning, or has
already resigned, that he may canvass Connee
ticut, with the ultimate hope of "redeeming"
Connecticut, and getting nominated as Vice
President,lwith Breckenridge as President.
In the evening, Mrs. Senator GWin gave
grand party.
Of the Republicans, Charles Francis Adams
gave dinner party, the same day and Gov.
Seward bad a reception in the evening. The
same night the Germans Of the city seTenaded
Carl Shurz, the eloquent German, who has so
completely "used up" Douglas squattsT SOv~
reipnty.

The Report of School Commissioner Smythe
is document of 10 pages. The first AZ are
occupied chiefly with statistical tables relating
to the Common Schools of the State. Seventy
two of the sixteen hundred school districts of
the State have not reported, and as a cOnse-
qusnce the tabular statements are incomplete.
The total amount of School moneys received
during the year ending August 3lst, 1883, is
s. 2z5. .I29. The total expenditures were s2,-
$50. .O76, Of which sum 81, ,95l. .555 were paid to
teachers. The whole number of sub districts,
with school houses, in the State, is given at g.
762.
The number of while youth between 5 and 2l
years Of age in attendance upon the schools
during the year, as exhibited by the tables, is
males, 4s7, ,569; females, Ala, $685. total, s52,-
427. The number of colorsd youth reported is
males 6,sss; females 6.5ss; total lS. .4s7; max
ING the total number Of children, of all cOlOrs,
5,sl4 The number Of youth enrolled during
the year is 600, ,O34; the average daily attend
ance is $50 399. The number of schools in the
State is-COmmon II 1888; High I3l; German
and English So; COIored 1871; total IL ,67S. The
number of teachers employed during the year
was-males 10 1856; females 9,l5s; total l9, 544.
The number of tchoOl houses heretofore erected
g. .sO4; value of the same, $4, l29, ,699; num-
Der of school houses erected in 1859, ATS; value
of the same S2s2, ,44S.
The Commissioner recommends modification
of the School Law with view to secure greater
economy in the examination of candidates for
teachers, which has become heavy item of
expense to the State. He also recommends
some Legislative action in relation to the cOlOred
youth of the State, the number of which is
given at I2, ,s94, in 5I7 districts; of these dis
tricts there are I0l in which the number Of
children exceeds thirty, (the number requisite
for the establishment OF separate schools for
cOlOred youth, leaving 4l6 districts containing
eoIored youth for whom no schools are required
to be supported
The Commissioner favors the continuance of
the present school library system, which meets
he says, with general approval and is working
out the object for which it was established.

rhs Hnn. Iohn sherman.

The Albany Evening Journal pays the fol-
IoVipO we'll timed and we'll deserved compliment
to the Buckeye candidate
The Hon. John Sherman is man for all
time. During the Protracted struggle through
which he stood as the Republican Candidate
for Speaker, his bearing challenged the admirs-
ton Of friends, and the respect oi opponents.
Every man knows, and many of his opponents
admitted, that he was Just the man for the
place. There was a nobility of sentiment in
bis manner Of withdrawal, yesterday, that will
sndear him to the whole Country. Such men,
though beaten, cannot be subdued. For men
with the talents, fidelity and courage Of John
Sherman, there is bright future.

Wears surprised to see that some two or three
propositions have been introduced into the Le-
gislaturs to amend the Constitution. All Fueh
legislation is labor lost, and the cost Of enact-
ments and submissions to the people, no small
item BY the way, is just 50 much public treasure
wasted. The Constitutional Convention, with
great Difference be it spoken, embodied the
wisdom or the age, aud put up the bars against
anv enondation of their great work most effect

as well as unapproachable!

RepubIican National COnVentiOn.-New York
The Republican State Central Committee OF
New York met at Albany, Jan. 3Ist, and dis
eussei the question as to whether the time for
holding the Chicago Convention had better be
changed to an earlier day, and the mode OF
eleeting delegates. Gov. Morgan laid before
the COMMITTEES information showing that the
NAtional COMMITTEES had been consulted, and
change Of time was not thought advisable.
TIE manner of selecting delegates was then
considered A portion of the Committee favored
the Congressional district system, and others the
appointment of delegates by State Convention
The latter plan was adopted by vote Of nine
to four, and State Convention to appoint Del
epates to the Natiooal Convention is to be held
at Syracuse on the 1sth of April next During
the discussion the members expressed their
opinion as to who is the choice of the RePubll-
cans Of New York, and without any exception
it was in favor of VIM. H. Seward. New York

Our Hunting Grounds

The New York correspondent of the Phila-
delphla Press gives, in his last letter, the TO!
lowing gossip:
The rapidly increasing number Of English
noblemen and gentlemen who are visiting the
praIrieS and wilds of the West for sporting
purposes, has stimulated the curiosity and en-
thusiasm Of their brother Nimrods across the
Channel. lIencefOrth the Briton is not to be
the exclusive red-slayer, from foreign parts, d
the deer and the doe, the buck and the bison
and the varmints of the catamount species gen
orally, that roam over the vast, ilimita oil,
space out West His enterprise and his mark S.
manship are to be contested by the gentlemen
of France, one of whom, in the spirit of true
adventure, is already here, and proposes soon
To set the rudder of his countenance towards
the place where the sun sets.
The gentleman to whom | allude is Mr.
Charles Hedsieck, whose name on cartridges
of liquid characteri is familiar to the generous
and thirsty souls of this land lie brings with
him several specimens of beautiful and i'm
proved arms, and, as soon as the proper season
berkOns him on, will depart on his sanguinary
raid against the beasts Of the field and the
fowls Of the air that hold habitation amid the
rocky Businesses and great prairies of the West
The history Of the hunters, yet to be written
will form volume alike spiced with adventure
instruction, and amusement. Your readers
may, perhaps, remember Lord tore who re-

upon the plateau of the table lands between the
Sierra Madre and Sierra Nevada From the
character of his retinue- thirty men, sixty
horses. large baggage and provision trains, tons
of ammunition, and 900 worth of improved
fire-arms-he was the most formidable enemy
of game dom ever in those parts. Numerous
other English noblemen, and officers, and pri-
vate gentlemen, have been over the same
ground, proving that England, up to this time
has furnished more appreciative sportsmen
than any other foreign country. From the
continent there came, some five years since, the
Prince Of Nassau. who, a prince in character
as well as in name, thought his travels amongst
us incomplete until he roamed to the land of
the buffalo, and brought down his bull and
cow | need not alude 10 Mr.. Grantiey
Berkeley, whose exploits have latterly found
their way to the public through the press. We
now have the first envoy from the sporting
gentlemen Of France
