than on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday,
August 9th, 9th, and 7th to listen to the
representatives Of the educational interests
Of tho whole Northern States. The ladies
and gentlemen were eleven hundred in
number, six hundred of them were from
New England. W. II. Wells, Esq, Supt
Of the schools Of this city gave hearty
welcome to the delegates in short, spicy
speech and was handsomely responded to
by J. D. Philbrick, Esq, supt. of the Bos.

With music, by Prof. Root and his associ-

ID. The East and the West seemed to
join hands in cordial friendship.
Thursday was generally observed as
day Of Thanksgiving. We listened to
Rev. Bishop Simpson, of the N. E. Church.
His sermon is published verbatum IN the
Sundays Tribune. 1t was remarkable for
its power, showing also the perfect famili.
arity Of the speaker with the national re-
sources at our command. At times he
was exceedingly eloquent. This was the
closing passage: 1.-THE day ia coming when
the battle cry shall die away, when the
clear sunlight of Heaven shall drive the
smoke of cannon from off this land. O,
methinks I can see in that day the angel
Gabriel in the cloud and by his side the
sainted Washington, while right below the
Cross Of Christ is raised the glorious flag
Of my country with its stars and stripes"
Amid thunders Of applause the Bishop sat
down, his face radiant with the contempla.
ton Of his theme, "Power bclonseth unto
God"

The novel fashion of wearing stuffed
birds as portion of the head dress or orna-
ment for the bonnet, has given the taxi
dermists more work than they can do, and
so advanced the price Of birds that some
Yankee has patented new bonnet, with Il
cage in front, in which I've birds can DO
kept The cage occapies 50 small space
that not more than two or three varieties o [
birds can be covered at once; but the cage
is beautifully located between the two flow
er beds Of less than half an acre each. The
whole gives very unique and picturesque
appearance, and sets off the human face az
wire as did the head dresses Of Queen Eliz-
abeth's time, that were seven stories high,
the upper decorations being reached by
spiral stairs such as are seen in pictures Of
the ancient Tower Of Babel!
