The Noble Use of Wealth.

GEORGE PEABODY, Esq, has Just added Q
gift OF $500,0O0 to the Peabody Institute o.
Baltimore, an institution founded by hi;
munihcence some ten years ago. He has also
given $150,00O to Yale College, for the erec-
ton and maintenance of a Museum OF Natural
History. Besides these recent benefactions
Mr.. Peabody had previously given large sums
of money for educational purposes in this
country, and had made the most munificent
gifts to the city of London, where his wealth
was mainly amassed, for providing homes for
the poor. Such examples as these OF the
noble use of wealth, as well as that of the
recent offer by A. L. Stewart, of New York,
> of one million of dollars for the erection OF
tenement-houses tor the poor in that city,
will constitute precedents, we trust, which
will not be without future imitators.
How much more praiseworthy, in every
respect, is such use of wealth, than that
which lavishes it upon personal or family
pridei They to whom Providence has COM
mtted great wealth are in position to ac-
complish much for their iellow-men. They
can set on foot enterprises of benevolence,
which will be doing good work for huma-
nifty long after they shall have passed away.
Their works do follow them" Who can esti-
mate the benefit which posterity may derive
from the building of college, the founding
of a university, the establishment of library,
the endowment Of q museum, the building of
comfortable homes for the masses Of great
city, and works Of similar benevolenceP How
much more noble such use of money than
that which we sometimes behold!
1t is an encouraging feature of our times
that these great benetactions are becoming so
common. We trust that the minds of our
men of wealth may be still more generally
turned to this subject. There are number
less ways in which they might DO great good
to the public with their wealth. In our own
city, for instance, how much might be done
for the education OF the people in all
branches Of natural history, by taking our
Academy of Natural Sciences, with its
already splendid collection of materials. and
endowing it, even to the extent OF Mr.. Pea
bOdy's recent gift for a similar purpose to
1aiel Would, too, that some OF our rich
men might initiate in this city the example
of Peter Cooper in New York, and give us
an Institute modelled after that to which he
has given his name. The fields for efforts
OF this kind ale numerous and inviting. There
are splendid opportunities for men to link
their names with enterprises which will be
proud monuments to them when they are
gone. He who lives only for himself, or Tor
his own little circle, when Providence has
given him the means OF doing great good,
and OF reaching out far and wide with his
wealth, is an "uDfaithfuI steward" OF his
Lords goods, and will certainly not be
cherished in grateful remembrance by his
iellowmen

Mr.. WENDELL PHILLIPS, in an III advised
speech at the Cooper Institute last night, saw
fit to attack General Grant. OF course Mr..
Phillips has a perfect right to abuse General
Grant or any one else; but if he assumes to
speak for the Republican party, he transcends
his powers, and becomes an impostor. Mr.
Phillips is not member of our organization;
he has never lent us his aid, and does not
hold any position as an exponent of our
principles. We have faith in General Grant,
an abiding faith which cannot be impaired
by the attacks of all the Phillipses in the
world

A Change Predicted in Our Foreign Policy.
For some time there have been reports from
Washington OF radical change to be made in
regard to our foreign policy. Our Minister
to England, it Is said, has been directed to
make peremptory demand for the payment
OF the damages sustained by our commerce
during the war from Anglo-Rebel pirate ships
like the alabama and her consorts. We are
to refuse all offers of negotiation, reference
or the like, and to insist upon immediate pay
ment of the full sum as our ultimatum. We
are also to take decided stand upon the
Mexican business, to tolerate no hesitation
the removal Of the French troops from
Mexico, and to assume a protectorate over
hat country until the Juarez Govern
ment gets fairly under way again.
We do not pretend to know how much
truth there is in these reports, but they point
to course of conduct not unlikely to be
undertaken by the Administration in its pre-
sent emergency. A foreign war is an old
device for healing local dissensions. 1t is a
sort of "counter-irritant" which the political
doctors are fond of applying. There is little
doubt that our just claims against ENGLAND
may be so pushed as to force that country
into war with us; and probably we might
manage, without much trouble, to get up a
war with France over this Mexican business.
near as it seems to be to satisfactory set
tlement 1t is not hard matter to pick a
quarrel when there is determination to do
it. But whether great foreign war would
make our taxes any lighter, or our Govern
ment any purer, or really contribute to the
union and general welfare OF the whole coun-
try, is matter about which, among thought
ful people, there will be much doubt. Such
war might help the Administration out of
some of its difficulties, but would it benefit
the people2

BALTIMORE AND THE EASTERN sIJoPr
RAILROAD CONNECTIONS,

A movement is on foot to have the time
tables of the Philadelphia, Wilmington and
Baltimore Railroad Company so corrected OF
adjusted, as to enable passengers and mails
to make close connection at Wilmington with
the Eastern Shore. We are glad to see this,
since for purposes of business, a large portion
OF the trade legitimately due this city, now
passes onward to Philadelphia, that part of
our State being made as much tributary to the
advancement of Philadelphia and cut off from
us, as If it was portion of PENNSYLVANIA. For
long time constituting first class grievance
we trust it will be corrected before this move.
ment is through with; since if anything can he
peculiarly aggravating, it is to find that a train
by which the passenger might have reached
his destination either way, has passed onward
by twenty-five or thirty-fve minutes Elicit
ing at various times earnest circumstances.
we hope that on the present occasion the
matter will not be dropped until entire justice
is done. Let the merchants of the city es-
pecially look to this, if Baltimore is to prosper
