HORACE GREELY A. SMART BoY.-Hor-s
ace Greeley is giving aCounselto Boys
in TAs Little Corporal, published atChi-.
cago. In the number for April he gives
a leaf flom-his own personal history :: )
When l was nine years old, there un-
espec.edly .appcaycd, one day, in my
fathers humble farm house, the clergy
man, doctor, lawyer and perhaps one or
two other magnates of our New England
rural township, who addressed my parents
tothis effect:
Your older son is so promising astudent
so easy and rapid q learner, that we think.
he should have better education than
our common school can give him. We
propose, therefore, that he be sent to Phil.
lips Academy. and thence to college,; and
We offer, should you choose to entrust him
to us, to see that he is thoroughly schooled,
without expense 10 you. ss.5s. -.
Ny poor but proud parents responded
with thanks, but decided thatthey would
give their children al the schooling they
could fairly afford, and shat this must SUI
fee them.
And among the many things for which
have cause for tilial gratitude, accord q
high place to this decision. True, had
they accepted the generous profer, ,Ishould
have learned much that still urgently
need to know; for / never was, even for q.
day, pupil in any seminary higher than
very common school; I prize the inde-
pendence thus secured far above the learn.
ing which it would have dearly purchased
I would like to read Homer and Eschylus,
Flato and Demosthenes, in their native
tongue; but not at the cost Of owing my
ability so to read them to the bounty of
some sect or educational society, who
would reasonably expect of me the cham
pionship of its dogmas in return. Iwould
not be bound, even by the silken ligaments
of gratitude, to what seems to me the
truth of to-day, ifI were thereby to be
rendered ever disinclined to accept and
welcome the deeper truth that may dawn
on my apprehension tomorrow.

THE CONFEDERATE DEBT.-The Washing
ton National Republican has an editorial to
prove that, if the Southern States are, accord
ing to Stevens theory and assertion, !" con-
quered provinces the United States as the
eonqueror, is bound, by the law of nations, to
pay the entire Confederate debt. The RepH6-
kcd1, says:
But it has been suggested that this pointha
been guarded by having the late rebels repudi-
ate those Confederate debts. A very little re-
SECTION, however, viii show that Reputation
does not remove nor cancel the liability, at
least, for the debts held in Europe We must
extend our views across the Atlantic for the
data for resolving this point. Take the case of
Admiral Wallace and his associates, who hold
millions of Confederate bonds, as an example.
They are all subjects of Great Britain, and by
the Jaws Of nations are entitled to call upon
their Government to protect and enforce their
legal rights as against the United States. Sup
pose the British Government shall entertain
their appeal and demand the payment of those
bonds ON the ground that they were created by
de fGcto Government and issued to British
subjects, and that the United States merely Oc-
cupies the position of conqueror of that Gov
eminent, what answer can we make to the de-
mand? Is it not obvious that we can makeno
substantial answer whatever if the Stevens
theory iSsound.

A HORRIBLE TRAFFIC.

The New York correspondent of the Mobile
.Adrertiscr, in recent letter, gives the follow
ing:
It is notorious that one kind of chidd-murder
.--fpticide--has become common practice
throughout the Eastern, Middle and Western
States. Persons whose nefariOus business it is
to supply the means to commit this crime carry
on a thriving trade in every large city. The
newspapers are impressed into their service.
and in the columns of every paper claiming to
be respectable, and some even entering house,
holds under the guise of religion, one may find
open suggestions of the means by which births
may be Limited. Nine women out of every ten
in the North know all about this, and thousands
employ the means and commit the crime every
year. And to such degree Of perfection has
this pernicious practice been reduced that not
JnOre than one instance in one hundred of those
that occur ever comes to light
New York is pre-emileutly infamous in al-
fording facilities for numbering the unborn. A
medical writer says that
There are in the city of New York alone over four
hundred regular and well known abortionists most
of whom do an extensive business, and some of
whom boldly advertise it In the leading daily papers
procured by these people as many living adj
vertisements- The ordinary fees range from one
hundred 10 I'VE QQuureQ NOllarS, ana WQer6 money
cannot be raised Watches ewelry. and even clothing
are given in exchange for the service.
z The murder shops located in various parts of
New York-mostly in the central part, from Bowery
TO Ninth Avenue, and from Fifteenth street to Canal.
Many of the most splendid mansions are used for
this purpose and richly fitted up with separate
accommodations for from six to twenty patients. So
secretly and dextrously are these places managed
that even the next door neighbors generally ig-
norant of the character of the house There may be
physician's sign, or perhaps only name, which is
generally fictitious But let the house be fine man.
sion on fifth Avenue, or miserable howell in the
obscure parts of the city the to which they
applied are equally horrible and murderous.'
Feticide and infanticide have reached an
appalling magnitude throughout the whole
North. New York supplies most of the means
for the former, but the crime itself is commit
ted in every village and town from the lakes to
the prairies.
So it is not only an education that will fit
them for usefulness in the world that Ameri-
can girls need. They need to be instructed in
morality as WELL If we go on at the present
rate, our women will soon become race Of
child murderers. Their account with God
must be settled with Him, but what of their
account with Society! They not only destroy
their children, but they also destroy their own
vlgor. They become weak, puny, miserable
things, and many of the children they permit
to live, are as puny as themselves.
