THE ANNIVERSARY EXERCISES of the Old
Mems Home were celebrated yesterday. The
objects of this institution are SO laudable
that it deserves to be we'll supported by
wealthy and charitable citizens. Age and
want are always an iIl-matched pair, but their
union is especially painful in the many cases
of worthy men who, after making valiant
struggle for many years in the battle of life,
fall as victims at a time when their faculties
are impaired and their energies paralyzed.
The good old men who are destitute of
money, relatives, and rich friends should be
we'll provided for.

10 Complete the Entire Road.

1t is believed that no other railroad corporation in
the country has ever made so large expenditure
from its means before Offering any OF its
rites to the public.
The Company now offer for sale the
Eight Per Cent. Mortgage Bonds
upon the Louisiana division of 22seS miles from New
orleans to the Sabine River. This will probably be
the most valuable portion OF the whole line it will
be the only rail communication by which the enor.
nous productions OF Texas reach the Southern
metropolis.
So important is this road considered to Louisiana,
that the State has made very liberal grants in aid OF
the enterprise, by direct donations by endorsement
OF its bonds and by subscription the stock of the
Company, amounting in all to over eight million
dollars.
The Bonds now offered are of two classes:-
FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS,
to the amount of s12, 800 per mile, and
SECOND MORTGAGE BONDS,
to an equal amount, both principal and interest
guaranteed by the State of Louisiana. The price of
the two classes is the same, and subscribers can
take their choice
The Bonds are only in the denomination OF $1,000,
or e2OO each interest payable January ana July, at
the rate OF eight per cent currency in New York,
per cent gold In London at the option OF the
holder, at the time each coupon ia due. Bonds can
be registered, II desired.
NO BETTER SECURITY HAS BEEN
OFFERED
to investors. The line is good and Important one,
and the stockholders have proved their determine
tion and ability to carry the work to an early and
successful completion, by the very large amount
they have themselves put into it.
The Bonds are largely profitable, as well as en-
tirely safe. One thousand dollars invested In these
eight per cent. bonds will give the purchaser
than sepentysepe per cent greater annual interest
than the same amount invested in the new Govern
ment Five Per Cents, into which the Government
Skies are being funded by the Secretary OF tie
Treasury.
At the same price, an sper cent. currency long
bond is far cheaper than a per cent. gold one.
Calculating return to specie payments in three
years. and taking the time that the bonds OF the New
Orleans, Mobile, and Texas Railroad have TO runs
years-we find that by compounding the interest of
each, every six months, at per cent, per
cent currency bond at 90 Will give IA return
of $2614.Is MORE than per cent. gold
bond at the same price, nearly three
times the amount of the original invest
ment.
While the purchaser OF the per cent. bonds of
this company can realize this special profit he also
holds the option OF taking advantage OF any tempo
rary advance in gold, as he has choice, at every
separate coupon day, OF gold interest at per cent.
| or currency interest at per cent.
The Bonds are dated May ], 1871 The first cou-
pom will, therefore, be fractional one, running
| from May to July 1. The price is 80, and accrued
interest at per cent. currency from May to date
| OF remittance.

The proceedings of the Rabbinical Con-
ference at Cincinnati affords another illus
tration of the tendency of the system of re-
lgious freedom prevailing in the United
States to promote notifications of the old
usages of the respective sects. This confe-
renee has formally decided that in the most
ancient of all the religious denominations
organized in this country, "a modern prayer
book is to be furnished, in which all allusion
to the return of Jesus to Jerusalem and
the idea of sacrifice and of
personal Messiah are to be omitted, while
''the service is to be largely in the verna-
cular instead of the Hebrew language" and
various other changes are to be made. In
nations where the jews are persecuted, or
where they are objects of political or social
prescription, it is matter of pride with them
to remain steadfast in every detail of the faith
and customs of their ancestors while here,
where they are left in perfect liberty to abide
by or depart from any or all of these details,
the disposition constantly increases to consult
personal convenience, taste, or reason on
points which are not deemed vitally essential.

On MONDAY evening public meeting will
be held at the Academy of Music, under the
auspices of the Commercial Exchange and a
number of our citizens who are interested in
the prosperity of Philadelphia and Pennsyl-
vania, to consider the relations between the
development of the Northwest by the build
ing of the Northern Pacific Railroad and the
prosperity of the trade, manufactures, and
commerce of our State and city. The
meeting will be addressed by Hon.
William D. Kelley and by Hon. Selucius Gar
felde, the Congressional delegate from Wash
ing Territory. Both of these gentlemen pos
sess extensive information with regard to the
Northwest, and their addresses will undoubt-
edly be both interesting and instructive.
While the Northern Pacific Railroad is ma
tional, it is also essentially Philadelphia en-
terprise, and this city and State will
derive great benefit from it, provided
our citizens take the active interest they
should in its progress. AS the meeting on
Monday evening will be especially for the
purpose of explaining the relations between
the development of the Northwest by means
of the Northern Pacific Railroad and the
future prosperity of the industries of Phila-
delphia and Pennsylvania, it is to be hoped
that there will be a large attendance of our
business men and others who have the ad-
vancement of Philadelphia interests at heart.

The Washington contractors have resumed
work, strong police force being on hand to
protect the laborers from being assaulted by
the strikers The latter demand So per day
for eight hours labor, while those who are at
work receive $3.50 per day. The Governor
of the District seems to be pursuing proper
course, despite the denunciations of Wash
ington journal. 1t is his main duty to protect
the laborers who are willing to work for lower
prices than those demanded by the strikers,
and this duty he is performing faith
fully. The strikers have a perfect
right to ask all they choose for their services,
and to take all they can honestly get, but they
have no more right to prevent other men
from working than they have to burn down
houses. workingman's capital consists of
his capacity for labor. Let him make the
most of this capacity, sell it in the dearest
market, and enhance its value by all legti-
mate methods But kicks, blows, and muir
derous attacks upon other workingmen whose
rivalry is dreaded, are not legitimate
methods for enhancing the price of
labor; and the whole force of civil authority
should be employed whenever its employ
ment becomes necessary, to put dowN such
riotous and diabolical demonstrations. AS
well might a merchant seek to destroy the
stock of business competitor whose rivalry
he breads, as one laborer attempt,
by force and violence, to keep
another laborer from working for compara-
lively low wages. Nothing could well be
more dangerous to any community than a
liberation of the absurd and dangerous doc
trine that any set of men can fix prices for
their products or labor by sheer terrorism.
The coal regions of Pennsylvania have suf-
fered SO dreadfully from strikes mainly be-
cause the local and State authorities have
shirked their duty in the matter referred TO-,
while the Washington strike will apparently
| be speedily ended by the prompt and proper
action of the Governor of the District.

A nameless little girl made Its appear.
sace last Sunday morning at the residence
of George w. Nash, and demanded the
protection CT this benevolent family. We
understand that due attention was freely
given, and all its wants properly attended
to. and at last account, the little stranger
was thriving under the kind treatment Il
Is receiving.
There is one thing In this connection
which should not be forgotten, and to
which we now specially call the attention
OF the reader. and that Is: that the large
amount of time necessary to be bestowed
in the entertainment of this new visitor
has not IN the least abated the zeal Of Mr..
Nash in his endeavor TO furnish his custo-
mers with everything In the line Of Hard
ware Goods and Agricultural Implemen Is.
But he who will find time to administer
to the wants of the needy, will also find
time to attend To his business, and he who
attends TO bis business will always find
time to supply his customers with every
thing thew want.

Fatal Stabbing ARRAY.

Las; Wednesday, about noon. ne ar the
Passenger House ON the Pittsburg. Fort
Wayne & Chicago Railroad at this place,
IN alteration took place between two
men named Shay and L. j. Henderson.
In which the latter stabbed the former in
the abdoDsn, inflicting what is feared to
be MOI al wound. The origin of the
officially which resulted IN this sud affair,
arose out OF quarrel which occurred
come days ago between this same Hen
derson. who was porter at the Fleming
House, aud one Murphy. the porter al the
Parker House, in which Henderson was
victorious. Shay, it seems, took up the
quarrel for Murphy. which resulted in this
sad affair. As We write the. officers of

as We cannot save the life of the murder

Why send the officers OF the law with
