One OF THE NoBLEsT CHARITIES of Penn
sylvania, and one which, very strangely. has
not been initiated by other States, is the es-
tablishment of Asylum Schools for the Or
phan children of deceased Union Soldiers
A review of these children took place on Sat
urday,in Independence Square, Philadelphia,
about eight hundred, of both sexes being
present. They included the inmates of the
school at Chester Springs the Catholic
Home; Northern Home; Lincoln Institution;
Church Home; St. Johns Orphan Asylum
and the Oolorcd Soldiers Orphan Home, near
Bristol. These Schools have been found to
be of real usefulness in educating and car
ing for very many poor orphans, and surely
nothing could be higher duty of the Re-
public.

STATE NORMAL USNERsITY-CLosISG EXHI-
rlrIoS.-Institute Hall, Friday evening, was well
filed to hear the closing exercises OF the Normal
University. They were preceded with prayer by
Professor Harkness, and chorus by the first
class, composed of young ladies and gentlemen
followed. The first oration was Progress, by
Harry Emmons, of this city. 1t. covered wide
range of thought and illustrated the progress OF
man upward in the successive stages OF the
world " intellectual Pleasures by Emma
Oakford, urged the pursuits Of mental culture in
preference to those more sensual but warned,
Revertheless, that even the pleasures of the intel
lcct had their dangers. A piano solo by young
lad, Master Muhlhausen, was well performed.
Know Thyself,' by jacob Craig, Jt., declared
the necessity for self study, and was meritorous
| production. Sue +. McAllister moraized on the
"Valuc of Time" in thoughtful and well con-
| sidered essay. A solo was then sung by Master
quality of "Self Reliance" very forcibly, with
some admirable and opposite Illustrations sallic
| j. McKeag followed with au essay on "Thc Mes
siah," an effort with earnest religious tone and
containing many scrptural allusions. The music
succeeding was a chorus by the class.
The further orations were " Intemperance,'
by Pierce E. Dowling, which contained many
creditable sentiments; Integrity by Robert
l.. Coke, brief compact and well spoken ad-
dress; and Little Things" by Harry Conrad,
which would, 10 doubt, deserve the credit OF
highest excellence, during the evening. The
essays were " Rural Scenes" pleasant study
of nature and natural bcautics,by Carrie Roberts
Birds" u simple and unaffected essay. which
contained very cheerful vein of thought, and
numerous happy alusiuns; and " Fashion, by
Lizzie Lancaster in which the tendencies of the
times were dclincated aud satrized with some
piquancy.
ColloauyN in French; q solo by Master
Macherct capitally rendered. and chorus by
the class, comprchcndcd the balance of the pro
kCramme. The audience was dismissed with q
Ibenediction by Rev. Mr.. Latimer

leon SHIP B UILDING IN 7,HIn
CITY.

Our recent article, Informing the shipping
interests that they can buy American built
ships at Clyde prices, if they will inquire
in this city, has attracted some attention, land
the Philadelphia North american quotes
at length from it, yesterday. II goes on TO
state some facts which the outside world
ought to know better than they do, and it is
gratifying to find that oar Philadelphia CO.
temporary, at least, appreciates them. Thus
rs to-
THE ADVANTAGES OF WILMINGTON.
"The Wilmington iron ship-buiders have
nm advantage over Boston and New York
in the cheapncss of living and the lower wa
gcs of labor. Ii costs less for money, labor,
real estate, salaries, materials, &c., at Will
mington, and hence the builders there are
not in the same boat with their New York
and Boston brethren, who want to reduce
the tariff or throw open the commerce OF
the country to foreign competition, or do
some other foolish thing. Iron ship-build-
ing is also carried on at Chester, twenty
miles below Philadelphia, for much the same
reasons as at Wilmington.
LET EASTERN BUILDERS TAKE TIE HINT.
"We suggest to the ship-bulders at Bos-
ton and New York that as they confess their
inability to get along ut those places they
had better remove TO some convenient To-
cation on the Delaware, where the national
government has located its ron-clad naval
depot for precisely similar reasons. The
experience of Chester and Wilmington
proves conclusively that ON the Delaware
American iron ship-builders can compete
successfully with the British. The reason
is here that we have the coal and iron right
at our doors. Had the government been
foolish enough to locate the iron-clad naval
depot at New London, the experience az AZ
Boston and New York shows that the iron
ship-buildng must have been carried on
there at disadvantage"
REASONS WHY WILMINGTON CAN BUILD
CHEAPLY.
wilmington and Chester receive thei
iron and coal from Pennsylvania at less cos
than Boston and New York. All the rail
roads that might be built could not alte
this, for the water carriage ON the Dclawar
is free of tolls, as il is also ON the Scliuylkil
below Fairmounl Iron shipbulding, TO h
successful in America under amy circum
stances, mus, be carried on as near ms posi-
BILE to the supplies of coal and iron. IN
attempt to carry on such an industry as thl
at points where the supplies cost most ma
be cnterprising, but Is based on no soun
principle of trade In order TO compel
successfully with tho Wilmington builder
the Boston and New York builders mu:
cheaper money, real estate, labor and III
tcrjals. which they show no disposition
attempt Instead Of this they desperate
resort 10 the irre trade remedy, and want
import their iron from abroad duty free, fo
getting that even then the advantage won
be with the Clyde builder who has the E
glish iron at his door,"

Additional accounts of Fridays storm at
Wheeling, West Virginia, and its vicinity,
show that the damage was greater than at
first supposed. A number Of vineyards were
ruined, the wheat and corn were cut off close
to the ground, and sheep and lambs were
killed in the fields. A numbhr of persons
were also injured by the hailstones, some of
them seriously. The town of West Liberty
near Wheeling, is reported in ruins.
