there had been no secession, there would
have been no war; if there had been no war
there would have been freedom" 1t is a fact
that the war was not commenced for the pur-
pose of freeing men of color; for after the
war had gone on for a long time, President
Lincoln was willing to close the war on
certain terms which he put down in writing
and which terms proposed to leave you in

We obseryein the Indianapolis journal
that the resigning members are charged
with having mischosen the time for their
resignation, and it is said that they
might, without danger, have remained
leng enough to have perfected the proper
financial measures. There is probably
something to be said upon the other side
of the question. 1t is not impossible
that while the appropriation bills we're
used as lever to assist the amendment,
the amendment was employed to further

of air currents was measured. An in
spector, in reply, took a pinch Of gun
powder from a box, as if it we're snuff,
and let it fall through the flames of q

noted the time that the smoke took TO

satisfied Faraday, but he remarked on

Educsting Boys for the Sea.

The Commissioners of Charities and
Correction fer New York have applied
for the use of Government vessel to
train boys in seamanship and navigation.
A very large number of little stray waits
of society might thus be rescued from
evil courses and brought up to an useful
and creditable vocation. The project
seems very praiseworthy but if Con.
gress continues to legislste 80 that our
ship-owners cannot compete with those
of other countries, to train boys for the
sea is to disqualify them for other occu-
pations while they could not find employ
ment in their own, unless, as a last
resort, they sail under foreign flag.
The Commissioners are ready to place
two hundred boys more than fourteen
years old under proper nautical training
The number might be indefinitely in
creased. These boys are not convicted
of crime, but are forced into their pres
ent position by poverty. But thanks to
the protective system," they are left to
do whatever their idle hands and super
abundant energies may find to do. They
are not permitted to go upon the sea in
