NEW YORK, August THE morn

from Washington Considerable feel
ing Is manifested among the sailors of
the navy and has crept out of disre
spect to the Navy Department as the
omission Of Congress Of any recogni-
ton of the service of that important
arm in the late war. The bounty bill,
appropriating an additional bounty of
800 to soldiers, make no mention OF
the sailors, nor are they anywhere
mentioned or rewarded for their
equally meritOTiOus services.
The sudden transition from slavery
to freedom. together with the immense
amount of suffering incident thereto,

IMPURE PUBLICATIONS The At
lantic Monthly Magazine has attained
a high position in American litera
ture as aIpopular standard periodical,
and in most respects very deservedly.
But we have of late been surprised
that the publishers should allow the
insertion ofa story so impure in matter
and so immoral in its tendencies as
Reade new novel, Griffith Gaunt. "
Il is being censured without mercy
both by the secular and religious
press. The New York Post speaks Of
it as the acorst of a bad school of ro-
mantle literature and advises parents
to keep it out of the hands of young
people The Round Table, one of our
best literary Yeeklies, says:
' 1t is not too much to say that Griffith
Garnt' is one of the worst novels that has
appeared during this generation, the
worst, perhaps, that has ever been pro-
duced by the pen of any writer of position,
| People supposed that the Atlantic Monthly
was as little likely as any magazine in the
country to give circulation to anything
morally unfit for introduction into fani-
lies. To this impression are due the extent
| and chara cter of its circulation. This be-
| ing established, it's publishers have no right
| to use it, as they are now doing, to insult
young girls and virtuous women, by thrust
/ ing upon them what no modest woman
can read without blush, and what no
/ man should think of placing before his
wife or sister or daughter; whose perusal
| modesty and purity cannot survive un-
tainted"
Another writer says:
GA more infamous tale was never writ
ten by Eugene Sue, and Miss Braddon is
purity itself by the side of Reade. But
Miss Braddon blunders sometimes in her
grammar, and her icentiousness is vulgar.
Reade writes In an exquisite style, and
therefore his scented filthiness' is inhaled
with delight by our first families

EROw CANADA.

New YoRK, August THE Her
aids Ottowa special says it Is conf
dentially expected in Canada that
another Fenian invasion will soon
take place. The militia are kept
drilling, and an attempts being made
to have Parliament prorogued IN the
latter part of this week, to avoid an
investigation of the Fort Erie affair.
Mr.. Jones complained yesterday IN
Parliament that the Crown lands were
badly managed, that a great revenue
was lost, and settlers were driven to
the United States where more en-
couragement was given them.
A Tribune Washington special says
Mr.. Cole, United States Senator elect
from California, declines to be del
egate to the Philadelphia Convention
He says his name was used without
his consent, and that he does not ap-
prove of the movement. The same
special says that Gen. Sheridan's dis
patch to Gen. Grant on his arrival il
New Orleans, after the great riot, wa
mutilated so as to make a false i'm
preston.

Educational.

WESTERN FEMALE SEMINARY
This institution, organized in some re-
spects after the celebrated Mount
Holyoke Seminary, differs from all
others of our Western schools for
young ladies. The government is
that of "a well regulated Family, where
each member shares the labor and
care for the general good, the domes
tic department being altogether con-
Quoted by the scholars, no servants
being employed about the establish
ment. The object of this arrange
ment, is, not economy in the manage
ment Of the Seminary, for such is
hardly the case, but system and order,
perfect equality and exemption from
caste, an, everyday. experience of life,
and promotion Of health and elasticity
of spirits. \ But it is not alone in this
feature that it differs from other Semi
naries. 1t is prominently benevo-
len institution, founded by liberal
Christian men, to offer facilities not
found elsewhere for the daughters of
Ministers and young ladies seeking a
liberal education, who are without
friends or wealth. 1t will be seen that
its rates are much lower than those OF
most other seminaries, while its stan
dard of scholarship for entrance is
higher, and many of It's advantages
superior. Its corps of instructors is
large, and the instruction and course
of study is of the highest order. Nc
institution in the West turns out, in
tellectually, better trained women. Il
is conducted upon the principle Of
purely disinterested beneyolence, the
object not being to make money, but
simply to be self-sustaining. The
Trustees have during the last year Sc
] lected as the principal Musical In
structor Mrs. READ, one of the frs
vocalists of the West. This addition
to the Faculty VIII add greatly to thu
attractions of the Seminary
The institution has probably th'
most complete and extensive build
ings in the West, thoroughly ventil
ated, fire proof, and provided will
suits of rooms for each couple of stu
dents. It's location, at Oxford, Ohio
within two hours ride of Cincinnati
is pleasant and healthy.
The writer, one of the proprietor
of this journal, has had seyera
years acquaintance with this Semina
ry, and will be pleased to give an
further explanation of its syster
and course of instruction that may b
desired.

THE CANADIANS ANTICIPATING
ANOTHER FENIAN RAID.
NEW YORK ITEMS.

New YORK, August Nineteen
cases of cholera including four deaths
were reported in the city yesterday,
a decrease thought to have occurred
from the change Of weather, although
1t was supposed that several were not
reported. The mortality report gives
the total number of deaths for the
past week at 949 of which 239 were
from cholera.
In Brooklyn but few cases are re
ported, and the accounts from the
Islands are more encouraging.
There was meeting of the Board
of Health yesterday evening.
Another cholera hospital was order
ed to be opened up town. During the
debate in Brooklyn, President Schultz
proposed to organize a corpse of
nurses to attend the cholera patients
at their own expense at Their own res
licences. '-s
Stephens, the Head Centre of Fen
ianism, is to start on a Western tour
during the present week. The usual
degree of activity has prevailed among
his followers lately, but nothing will
be furnished for publication.
George Andrews, formerly mer-
chant, was arrested yesterday, charged
with several forgeries on downtown
merchants. He was committed by
Justice Hogan, and will be examined
this morning.
The coroner S jury investigating the
deaths caused by the recent explosion
of Harris & CO. s. sugar refinery, on
Leonard Street, returned two verdicts
three of the jurors deciding that
the engineer, Philip Ryan, was re-
sponsible for the explosion, and three
of them deciding that the firm of Har-
ris & Co. were to blame for employing
careless people in the establishment
The demand of the journeymen car
penters and joiners of Brooklyn re
garding the quitting of work at foul
o'clock on Saturday afternoon has
met with the acquiescence of most Ot
the employers. The movement is con
sidered decided success.
Two young men named Charles
Fergus and Patrick McCunn engaged
in an alteration in Brooklyn yester.
day, when Fergus shot his antagOnisi
sthrough the head, inhicting a wounC
which was pronounced mortal by the
physicians. Fergus was arrested.

protest against the return of E. D

have been foully murdered, withou
our Government taking any cogniz
ance of the matter.
NEW YORK, August There is
very decided and favorable change i
the cholera to-day. Only five case

were fatal. In Brooklyn, howeve
there is no abatement. There are re
