Futile and Absurd.

The late Governor Holden was a sbrewd
paragraphist, as to all matters wherein
immediate self was not involved. But on
sill things affecting his inordinate and
morbid ambi ton, and his insane prurence
for social recognition, his weakness
amounted almost to imbecility. These
cravings led him TO the perpetration of
follies and crimes, that were enough to
wreck far more solid craft than he sailed.
They inspired tip1 with malignant hate
for his better3, because they acre his
betters, and that he knew the fact they
filed him with al insatiate bitt. r0ets to-
wards all who he supposed were in the way
Of his aspirlngs ; and they made him the
agrarinn foe CT that social respectabiIity to
which he could not attain, though he
sought it e&geriy and with tears
The unfortunate man has given nc
stronger evidence of his uncured folly
than that foresladowed in the Washington
correspondence of the New York Tribune.
He is describedsas meditating an appeal
from the Court Of Impeachment, Which
convicted hin1, to the Supreme Court of
the United States. on the ground that,
inasmuch as seven Senators las he alleges)
were banned by the XVIII Amendment,
| the. judgment was an illegal one.
1t would be- a curious Subject of inquiry

Superior Court Of the United States could

Bot let US see how the poor creatures
plea would avail bin. Upon two of the
articles Of impeachment he was convicted
by vote of 36 to IL, upon one by vote
Of 81 to II, uron one by vote of 40 to 8,
and upon another by a vote of IL to 8.
| Suppose (which is Tot the CASEY that seven
| Senators, being banned. had no right to
vote, but that ell fifty Senators linstea d OF
only forty-nine) had been present. That
would leave 43 entitled to vote, two thirds
of whom are %. Taking the seoen from
! the Lhirty'si,c, (the lcwest "guilty " vote
given above,) and there still remains the
necessary number to secure the conviction
of the culprit.
Some men learn nothing from the les
sons of fortune or the logic of events The
most convincing experiences, instead OF
arresting them in their career or bringing
thoughtful pause. but seem to stimulate
them to fresh. more rash and more foolish
/ misadveptures. They are like the veno-

until he is blind. strikes futiliy abopt with
vain and furious lashings. One would sup

One of the events in the history of edu-
cation in the city of Washington is the
establishment of kindergarten Child
garden). The movement has been inau-
gurated under tne immediate auspices OF
Miss Elizabeth p. Peabody, of Boston.
Miss Peabody has been aided and encour-
aged IN the work by Samuel NJ. ArnelI, of
Tennessee, chairman OF the Committee on
Education and Labor, of the Forty first
Congress. Commissioner Eaton, of the Blu.
reau of Education. &c. MIR. ArneH has
subscribed 500 toward the enterprise.
A kindergarten is composed of children
between the ages of three and seven years,
whose faculties are there developed by re-
creations which make them aGectionate,
industrious and ready. refine their tastes
and manners, sire 1gthen their bodies, coax
into existence and activity their creative
powers, and provide the materials end op-
portanities for the exercise OF those DOW
ers. Froebel, the diecoverer of this sci
ence of infant development, devoted fifty
years to it.
