The Senate bill increasing the pay of officers
of the army was yesterday passed by the
House, with amendments adding bounties and
allowances. There is apparently to be no end
of this kind of extravagance-it is called
equalization" but certainly does not help
the balance of the gigantic debts of the
Nation with its disproportionate credits. 1t
does not help to pay the Debt. but steadily
provides for It's increase.

The dispatches from Japan via San Francisco
which we publish this morning, and which state
that the Tycoon had invited the representa-
tives of the Foreign Powers to a conference at
0saca, are probably of not so recent a date as
those received few days ago from Tientsin,
in China, announcing the death of the Tycoon.
The latter report is, therefore, not contradicted
by the news from Japan in this mornings

The arrest of the five magistrates of the
Corporation Court of Norfolk is proper
peace-offering to offended Civil Rights. They
refused cOlOred testimony, and it will be well
if they for once go to Jail for it. A United
States Commissioner who will promptly arrest
judicial breakers of the law Of the land is to
be prized-and such Commissioner Mr. Foster
appears to be. We hope his example will
become epidemic, so to speak, if necessary.

loving though INDECENT mother. AS We
looked at him closely, we we're struck
the heart broken expression of his coun-
tenanc, and the marks of recent tears on
his check. So, yielding to an impulse
which always leads US to sympathize with
the joys or sorrows of the little ones,
we stopped, and, putting hand upon
his head, asked what was the natter
lie replied by holding up his open hand,
in which we beheld the fragments of
broken tiny toy-a figure of COW.
"Oh. is that allI Well, never mind
it; Step into the nearest toy shop aad

pence into his hand. THAT will buy
one, will it not ?" ooh p replied he,

The wealth Of the world could not have
supplied the vacancy tnat the breaking Of
