LECTURE on SCorLAND.-Rev. Jas. S. Black
of Nashua, a native Scot, lecturcd in Salem
street church last night on Scotland and Scotch
men, in aid of the church funds He traced
the influences of the invading Celts, Saxons,
Danes and Normans in building up Scotch
character, as seen in the artistic designs of
their plaids, in their integrity and hardy
habits. Intelligence and modesty he considers
their leading virtues; bigotry and incompetence
their chief vices. The lecturer contrasted Scotch
with American scenery, the former compre-
hending within a small area the features of
beauty scattered over large territory here He
referred to the advantages enjoyed by Scotland
in her historians and poets, the antiquity of her
monuments, and her poetica local nomencla-
ture. Scotand's strong point is her learning
One in every five hundred of her population is
in a university, and if the same proportion
prevailed here there would be forty thousand
collegiate students in America The speaker
condemned our calling ourselves Americans or
Scotchman or Engshmen; that all English
speaking people should be, and ultimately will
be, united by a2ellowship deeper andi broader
than nationality
'fWhen man to man, the wide world DER
Will brothers be, and a. that"

CITY OF worcester, February IL, 1872.
DR.. Kelley stated that Mr. Jaaues had not
made the donation without consulting the tris.
tees, and that IL was their belief that A 1uiet
situation should be selected for such an insiitu.

argument; and that this was the most desirable
land, near the centre OF the city, that could, at
present, be secured. The new road, which IS
provided for, will bring the Institution within
half a mile Of the city, and of easy access.
The Front street hospital is suitable for the
present, and the conditions of the communica-

and the speaker hoped that the matter would
receive the approval of the city council.
The mayor stated that he had no doubt that

An Evil and its Remedy.

Last Fall political campaign in this county,
in connection with what's now going on in our
midst, has demonstrated to the satisfaction OF
large majority OF our party the utter ineffi-
cheney, pnfairness and evil effects of the pre-
sent system of selecting candidates for local
offices. and the necessity Of adopting some
other mode hereafter, to save the party from
disastrous defeat.
The greatest curse of the present system is
the combinations it brings about, and the undue
influence such combinations exercise in the
matter of making nominations, and which is
continued whenever vacancy in any office is
TO be filed.
For instance Under the present system a
voter may desire to express his preference for
A for one office while he wishes to vote for B
for another office. On going to the primary
meeting he soon discovers that he cannot vote
of A and at the same time support B for the
Office which he seeks, because the delegates on
the ticket are pledged to the support of G
for that Office. In this way the voter is baf-
fed at every step, and by the force of circum-
stances he is compelled to support the delegates
of one of the numerous combinations, or alb
stain from voting entirely.
Now, this is all wrong and has tendency
to weaken the party, and, ifnot corrected, ul-
timatey to defeat it. Where lies the remedy
In order to draw out the views and sentiments
of the most judicious and discreet of our party
on this important subject, we suggest the. fol-
lowing outlines of new system Let polls be
opened throughout the county at the proper
time, and let every Democratic Conservative
voter be permitted TO express his preference for
his candidates by direct vote. As soon there
after as may be convenient, let the certified
returns from the respective districts be brought
to the Court House and footed up, and let the
persons receiving the highest number of votes
throughout the county be declared the nomi-
nees. Whatever defects there may be in the
plan we propose, land there may be some, we
feel assured that the adoption of primary cleo
ton system is the only way " a fair field and
no favor" can be granted to all aspirants for
public honors.

grcss below zero, II woman, accompanied by
her little son, a lad of some ten years drove
into town from the north, and marketed at the
Ovid cooperage some 200 hooppoes, which she
herself cut and loaded the day before. The
foreman of the cooperage, Mr.. Rose, seeing
that the woman was in IL destitute condition,
invited her and her boy 10 his home, where
they partook Of a warm dinner The poor
woman's story was indeed pitifu one her

visions was out, with no bread for her little
one to eat she was forced to do something in
order to keep starvation from creeping upon
them.
Although not an expert with the woodlands
axe, she shouldered it and manufactured with
a right good will the two hundred hoop poles
which she sold at the cooperage. The fall fires
burned up the stock of wood and slaves, which
the husband had in readiness for market, ex-
pecting with the proceeds accruing from their
sale, to procure provisions for the winter One

stances in which the poor woman was placed,
