lnE SoROsIs SOCIETY, at late meeting in
New York, inlulged In an earnest discussion
OF the Social evil" The question was
brought up On proposition iu relation to
founJling hospitals, when Mrs. Cleme'Itinc
i. Eosc said she would advocate tho found
4 q hospital with all her heart aud soul, hut
she thought prevention was better than cure.
Tie evil would never be remcdlei until men
were Iruislied as we'll as women. Women
were ostracised, deprived OF every hope for
the future, while man, the enticer, scauccr,
the ncrpetratJr Of tho crime, held up his
head us high rs ever, AMI was to be met the
Eamc rs before In the church, the State, aud
worse yet, In the drawing-room. Founding
hospitals, under present conditions, were a
necessity, but she was afraid they would
tend 10 Increase crime, and that 1t would be
wcll at the same time to euderyor TO have
srch laws passed as would serve as a check,
and render the punishment OF the man equal
" that Of the women.
Mrs. Davis disagreed with Mrs. Rose In
The opinion that fUundling hospitals would
increase The number Of unhappy births. She
thOrght ex' steuco fact that we were bound
20 accept, and life q GA, Of which, II neccs-
sary, we should be taught the value.
Mrs. Oliver johnson desired to say few
words In relation to Mrs. Roses suggestion
Of strii gent legal measures for the suppress
siOu o. the crime Of seduction. She though.
these could be Of little use, Uulcss sustained
~ yuJllc op.ulou. Women ought TO try and
create such public opinion. and mote ont
to men the same measure Of Justice and
rtribution ms fell upon women.

WE RECENTLY called attention to the large
receipts from the sale Of poultry and eggs
raised in the Peninsula. The revenue OF
our farmers from this source can be almost
indefinitely increased; but il is not TO poul-
try alone, as minor means OF revenue that
our farmers should turn their attention. A
Dorchester county exchange estimates that
the people of that county alone, consume
every year one hundred thousand dollars
worth of western pork. We do not wish TO
provoke any controversy with the health
philosophers by recommending the use of
hog meat, but If our people will eat 1t, let
them raise it. 1t would be much more eco
nomcal than to raise grain and purchase
pork with the proceeds. The paper alluded
to truly ays,-''grain is the cheapest thing a
farmer has to sell meat the dearest he has
to buy" As good pork can be raised on
this peninsula as anywhere else and the im-
mense surplus OF fruit and vegetables often
left on hand and now wasted on account ol
inferior quality, or Of an over stocked mar
ket, could be fed to the hogs and thus be
saved. To achieve any success however .
better breed Of hogs than now roam al

m.,-,,,. rropeav ON staten Island

A horrible murder was committed on
Tuesday morning, near Tompkinsyllle'
Staten Island, N. Y. John Roach, a shoe
maker, thirty years old, in drunken fit,
went to the bedroom of Emma Harrington,
daughter of Roachs employer, beautiful
girl, aged thirteen years, who had just got
np and was tying her shoes He rushed
upon her and drew the keen knife across
her throat, severing the windpipe and IN,
flicting a cut from ear to ear. The girl fell
over Without a scream, and in a few min
utes expired. The mailman then rushed
from the apartment brandishing the bloody
knife, and alarming the household with ms
wild cries. Arrived at the shop, the muir
derer deliberately drew the knife across his
own throat inflciing l'righlful wound, which
resulted in his death in lew moments Inc
family was aroused by the noise, and immedi-
atey hasened to the scene OF the double trag'
cdy. The affair has cast n glom over the entire
village, where the murdered girl was mucl

We knew the brutal hanging spectacle OIL last

county, and that deeds OF violence had become
very common. but had no idea that the demoral-

The Virginin Notwithstanding "nem-
Ocrastc" about IL.

The Richmoud Dispatch, one of The most
prominent advocates Of The successful Walk
or party, has the following There arc two
classes of persons who are endcavorng to
force Virginia into the Democratic party,
whether She will or no Ono is the party Of
carpet bagsers and scalawags in this State,
who are OF opinion that they may do Us
damage with the President and Congress by
| calling our victorious party Democratic
| The other is the Northern Democrats, who
are very anxious TO muster us into their
ranks.
First. The victory here was won by an
alliance OF good men generally OF all polti-
cal shades Of opinion in other days, who
sunk all party preferences, all personal
| opinions, and joined in the common cause
Of rescuing the State from the dominion OF
Ignorance and dishonesty. They acted as
patriots, national and domestic. They ig-
noied the old party names, and associated
as comrades devoutly struggling for the pub
lie salvation. So it is the greatest absurdi-
ty--it is an insult TO the grand motives
which govern lhem-to call them by any OF
the oldpary names.
SecOad. The fight here was upon recon
struction, and the victorious party which
has set Virginia free stood upon General
Grants platform and that purity is now
absorbed in more important matters than
hunting Tor party name. They are cndeav-
oring 10 complete the great work that has
been 50 propitiously begun, and they desire
to go on in entire harmony with hhe FEEDER
al administration until it is consummatcd
Their party relations depend upoM The
events that are to follow. Those events are
to be controlled at Washington. Al pIesnt,
we repeat, they stand on the Grant platform
desiring, in proof of their sense of the favor
extended to them by Gen Grant, to 20 oil
in harmony with the Federal Executive
And
1hiri. II is plain that parties must be
reformed. Tue old issues and the parties
that were formed upon them must give
place to new issues and new parties. WI
do not believe there will ever be q Dcm0
cratic party in Nirginia or if there shoult
he, it will be so filtered in every respect thai
it will resemble the old one in name alone
The revolution is the theory of our Govern
ment has taken away the main pillar of The
old Democracy Nor do we think that 8
party bearing the name Wing will any more
, resemble that which existed before war,
The old parties must all pass aMay. The
new Congratulations out Of tie debris q
the old, aud their combination with the new
. issues that must grow onl oil The dew order
Of our political system, are nov. steadily go
!, ing on.

of the ''good old rebels who tried to drag

THERE SEEMS but one thing on which modern
Democracy is united, since it lost the "nigger

SINCE SUICIDE is easy of accomplishment and
quite customary in France, We wonder that Louis
Napoleon still lives. His prestige is falling OIL
and his hold on the Empire is relaxing Surely
he cannot contemplate the loss of power with
anything short of horror, and We can only nc
count for his failure to use the usual French
means of escape from overwhelming earthly
trouble by remembering that the Bonapartes arc
