THERE is seldom q great deal OF

The prOverb, moreover, has a
special force when cited Of quar-

although the New York Evening
Post has taken pains to find out
that no negotiation has been had
with a certain named insurance
company of New York, for the
purchase Of q paid.up life insur-
ance policy for President Grant,
we are BY no means confident that
some other company may not
have been applied TO, and that
there is absolutely nothing of the
reported scheme to so endow the
worthy party named. The usually
careful Boston Post was the first
paper to give publicity to the
report, and ito statement made
mention Of no particular in

said, however, that a broth

AN INcoNsIDERATE ACTION
One Of our exchanges is response.
BILE for the highly amusing state
ment. Gray hairs in Wilmington
must be exceedingly troublesome
at this time:
Down in Wilmington, some.
time ago, an old man who was
very feeble was helped across a
crowded street by a youth Of
twenty. A month afterward, the
old man died, and as an expires.
sion of his gratitude he left the
Igouth forty thousand dollars
And now no old mans life is safe
in Wilmington. All the young
fellows have had their ambition
excited, and as any venerable man
appears on the sidewalk, a dozen
chaps rush at him, grab him by
the trowsers and the collar and
back hair, and try. to carry him
arcoss the street, whether he wants
to 60 or not. When he gets there
a lot more fasten on to him and set
him back again, and then present
their cards. So the old men in
Wilmington are having a lively
time now, and they have got
to tack up the street when.
ever they go out for a
walk. Thus far very little cash
has been evolved; but all the
young study the obituary adver.
tisements carefully and when they
see the words: At the age of sew.
enty.six or sixty.six, or anywhere
in that neighborhood, they hurry
down TO the Office of the Register
of Wills and pore over the last
testament of the deceased. All
this goes to show how much dis.
tress one inconsiderate action will
cause,

AL their present troubles?
Il is appetising to witness the
ridiculous difficulties into which
the impracticuble dogmas Of the
Radical magnets lead them. The
degradation Of the workingman,
under the operation Of the recon-
struction laws, is fOrcibly put by
the Republican Of Washington in
the following excerpt. The argu.
ment applies all round. 1t op.
poses the intermixture of the diff
ferent races ia workshops:
because there is just cause OF
apprehension that the white
American mechanics Of the coun.
try, who have been moulded in
character and education by our
progressive institutions up TO O
higher grade Of self.respeCt, priv.
legc and social development, will
greatly suffer in consequence
thereof. Industrial institutions
already established, and habits Of
life involving necessities and
privileges, with corporations
corresponding to the same, are in
danger. It touched all that il
wrapt up in the social life of the
working class, which puts them on
an equal footing with other occu.

A PHILADELPHIA CASPER HAU.
sER.-Philadelphia is excited over
a singularly horrible and disgust
ing story Of crime in one Of its
Oldest and quietest streets. 1t is
reported in the Philadelphia Post
that one Joseph Herringer has
kept a younger brother Of his,
named John, u close prisoner in q
hideous sort Of coop in his house
for twenty years-that is to say,
from the time he was eight, till he
is now thirty years Of age. OF
course he is insane; but there
seems no reason to believe that he
was so when his cruel brother shut
him up. It is asserted as horrible
and indeed almost incredible
crime, and committed in order
that Joseph Herringer might keep
property which belonged rightful
" to the poor child whose liberty
be took, and whose existence he
has been able so long to conceal.

THE WOMAN QUESTION.

An enterprisirg body of men, some
twelve in number, are now engaged by
one fashionable establishment in New York
to make up female apparel The work
shop is in the rear, while the measuring
and cutting department is in front. As a
matter of deicacy the presumptive man
ager of the business is female, but the
actual head of the establishment is a
man, and his attention is given to the
main details of the house. He says that
his masculine mantua makers are
capable of doing work faster and better
than the females. They earn from
twenty to forty dollars per week
at piece work, where women usually
average from eight to twenty. Their
work is all cut out and prepared, and
they never come in contact with the
customers of the establishment It will
be readily asked now if men are thus
going to do that particular work which
has heretofore been the support Of the
women, what is to become of those who
are thus deprived Of their means Of living

The SCHOOL FUND.

We publish today one OF the most
elaborate financial statements, as to the
disbursement Of any public fund. that has
ever appeared in the official annals of this
State We allude to the apportionment Of
the school fund, by the State Superinten-
dent Of Education.
This statement will afford encourage
ment to all the friends of education in the
State. as showing what care has been ex-
ercised over the common school fund since
the departure from Office of the late State
Auditor. G. NJ. Wickliffe, and since it's
control has been left to the State Superin-
tendent and our present State Auditor,
Mr.. Graham.
We are pleased to learn that the portion
of this fund due to the city of New Or
leans is likely to be disbursed within q
few days, under an arrangement which
Mr.. Conway has proposed to the Attorney
General, and which will leave the suits
now in court to be settled in their own
way
