Mr.. w. j. Stillman presents an interesting
sketch Of an "English Art Reformer !"
Mrs. Oliphant's SAT his Gates" is, as
usual, strong and mastery !; SAKE Holn's
"Draxy Miller's Dowry," has a singular
rush and breeziness, this installment con-
tains an exquisite little hymn by Draxy

erfnl story in the Lancashire

rate poems are by Harriet McEwen KIM

Nor is it our prejudice noso that leads US
to prefer separate to mixed schools. What
governs our action on this subject is not
prejudice for or against color, but simply
such general considerations as tell for the
public good. We know that prejudice en-
tiers largely into the Judgment of some
others, but it does not warp ours, or turn
it aside one iota IRON the true position it
should occupy. We believe that no intelli-

BACKLOG STUDIES have been quickly APP
preciated by the press The New York Times
says that these sketches, "for light, airy, but
genuine delneations of character, have rarely
been surpassed by any writer of the present
day." The Boston Transcript says that TOR

humor, BACKLOG STUDIES are the best of
things in their way" The Nation thinks that
BACKLOG STUDIES No. Ill "renows and

the NJ Y. Mail says it is the 'best thing he has

says: "BACK-LOG STUDIES constitute de-

of the great Russian novelist. General
Custer continues his series, "My Life on

simplicity which well becomes the dashing
cavalryman. "The Women Movement in
Wyoming" is by General Edward NJ. Lee,
who held high position in the young Terri
tory when the franchise was given to wo-

OF stories the June Galary contains, be-

"Modern Languages in American Col

chapters of :" The Eustace Diamonds" "" A
Case of Conscience" by Ella Williams,
and "The Cave of the Winds" by Maria

by Nora Perry, Miss Woolson, and Mrs.

usual, discusses literature, science, art,
politics, and society, and the Club Room
adds humor and pathos.

schools elsewhere, without coming to the

schools elsewhere, without coming to the
conviction that separate schools are prefer
able for colored children, to say nothing Of
the whites. 1t gives them larger and
better field for competition and rivalry,
while it affords no ground for complaint as
between the children of the two races.
The very fact that the colored people of
this State have sought and obtained
Colored Normal School of their own-one
in which their race can be exclusively edu-
Gated for the position of teachers-is evil
dence of their own good sense in
this direction, if it does not justify
us in the position We have taken.
The Dispatch undertakes to show that
we have undergone a change in opinion on
this subject. We will not say that we
have not changed since we first came into the
State but it can draw no evidence of such o
change since our article of the 4th of May
was written and published. We were then
replying to specific point,-the point of
prgudice-and disclaimed the existence of
any such prejudice in our own case. We
discaim it now; but we recognize the
fact that there is such prejudice in the
State, and do not think it is confined exclu-
sively to the whites. On the contrary, we
think that such prejudices are just as wide
spread among the colored people as among
the whites themselves. Recognizing this
fact as one existing Independently of any
influence of our own, for we have sought
to create no public sentiment on the sub.
ject,) we have not only advocated separate
schools, but earnestly labored for Their
establishment wherever they were practi.

The Dispatch can hardly claim us as Q
convert to its own views. When it car
satisfy us that it occupies the same high
ground that We do-a ground not of pre-
JUDGE against color, but distinctly one o
merit and qualification without regard t.
color-then it may claim to have come t.
us as a worthy convert to worthy creed
not that we have come to the lower PLAN
on which that paper stands.

POSTAL TELEGRAPH.

The bill to establish Postal Telegraph
came up in the Senate Friday evening.
The bill is that drawn by Gardner Hub
bard, Esq, and proposes to incorporate
company which undertakes the transmits
sion of messages by contract, at greatly
reduced rates. The messages are prepaid
by stamps and are delivered through the
agencies now existing at the disposal Of the
Department. The government invests no
money and takes no responsibility, but to
enforce a contract in strict analogy to the
present system Of carrying the mails.
Without cost to the government this bill
offers to the people the advantages of cheap
communication by telegraph. 1t is great
popular measure which ought to command
the energetic support of every statesman.
Every man, woman and child, have an in.
terest in its passage. 1t is a burning
shame that such measure should be de-
layed and crowded into a corner of the
session. ~ g.a
The discussion upon the measure was
quite warm. The bill was reported with
unanimous approval from the Committee on
Post-offices and Post-roads. 1t was hotly
opposed by Roscoe Conkling, Nye, FIRE.
linghuysen and others, upon ground which
we cannot but conceive to be trivial and UNI
worthy of the dignity of the Senate. No
action was taken, and the bill goes over till
some new arrangement can be made OF
chance half hour to consider this great pop
ular measure.
The objections are inspired by the West
ern Union Telegraph company. Conkling
and Nye plead for it like paid attorneys,
This gigantic monopoly can muzzle the
Metropolitan Press and send its paid agents
to the lobby. 1t can bring pressure be
hind Senator's that controls their action
and thwarts the wishes and interests, o.
the whole people. 1t is high time for us to
DO outspoken against this selfish and
wicked determination to deprive us of the
privilege of cheap telegraphy which Europe
is now enjoying.
The men who lend themselves to this
nefarious business ought to forfeit the sup
port of their constituents whatever may be
their political affiliations. What would
be thought of the man who would propose
to abolish our system of three-cent postage
because if it mere abolished some private
express companies could make good
thing by carrying letters, yet this is pre-
cisely the position of Mr.. Conkling and his
associates. Government is watch dog
to see that people are not meddled with in
their business" says Mr.. Conkling. "Leave
everything to competition" A nobler and
humane ideal of government possesses oul
modern civilization and inspires more ant
more the enlightened nations Of the world
1t is, that government should protect til
sceak, educate the ignorant, open all door
of opportunity TO the poor, and bring do'c'

from the motives of expediency which
seem to be the only arguments offered to
justify such treachery-the Baltimore Con-

HNAKE III TO YOUR HOME.

1t is so much the fashion nowadays to con-
vey information, and moral truths and senti-
ments, in the form of stories, that even some
popular lecturers have adopted this style of adj
dress. The mass of people, especially the young,
demand stories to such n degree, that papers
filled with sensational novels and exciting,
trashy stuff, have wide circulation. To fore
stall this taste, and supply something better to
the masses, the publishers of HEARTH AND
HOME, in addition to the usual variety of that
paper have engaged corps of first-elass writers,
among whom are Jean Ingelow, Edward Eg-
gleston Mary L. Dodge, Louisa M. Alcott, Ed
ward Everett Hale, Elizabeth Stuart Phelps,
Harriet Prescott Spofford, Rose Terry, Maria r.
Oakley Lucia q. II unkle, and many others, who
furnish to this Journal the best original stories,
of the purest character and highest grade--thus
conveying much instruction in pleasing form.
Besides these, the WEEKLY HEARTH AND
HOME contains a large amount of first-class
reading, editorials, literature, art, science,
amusement; instruction for the housekeeper,
the gardener the farmer; capital department
for children and youth the news of the day;
flnancialhnd market reports, etc. Its engrayings,
costing over $25, 900 year, are of high order of
merit, unsurpassed by any illustrated paper in
the world Altogether, HEARTH AND HOME
is such a journal as may be safely and very pro-
fitably taken into any family. 1t is supplied at
the low rate of So a year; four copies for $ll !;
and ten or more copies for 80 each.
