THE CHAPLAINOY OF TIE HOUSE OF
REFUGE

To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:-
SIR-As the recent enle,te in the House Of Refuge
has called forth criticism OF the management Of
the institution, permit me through your paper to
inquire whether the fault lies manly with those
who have charge OF the industrial department or
whether these ebutions Of juvenile depravlty may
not be traced to neglect in the chapaincy, Has
the chaplain been father to the children acquaint-
ing himself with them personally and thus acquir-
ing knowledge OF their individual characters and
wants. aud getting into their very hearts by ten
der, fatherly sympathy, so as to sway them TO the
good, true and manly Has he not rather con-
tented himself mainly with addressing them publicly
once week, devoting large portion OF his time
TO newspaper corr espondence. He has, at least in
this way gained sufficient notoriety TO be appointed
to the edtorship OF paper. And is there not here
q gross dereiction OF duty? In the name of these
unguarded youth, / ask, are not their claims suf-
cient to tax the whole OF the chapain's timer
Should he not devote himself, publicly, privately
and all the while to making the children Christians
as the effectual way OF making them good citizens?
The place Is evidently no snecure Yet has not the
chaplain, in addition TO former neglect, been draw
ing his pay for two months past, while spending
large portion OF his time IN Boston and TINS at the
critical Juncture when the children have special
need OF loving father to go round among them,
take them by the hand and breathe into them the
spirit OF contentment, industry and pety, and lead
them gently to God and goodness.
And IS 1t true that, In view OF his prospective re-
tuition In seeking one to I'LL his place, have directed
attention to another ID. ID. editor, who has made
himself somewhat popular by writing novel, and
who, we informed, II he accepts the chaplaincy,
would make 1t a subordinate employment, and de-
vote his chief attention to bookmaking and news
paper correspondence For the good OF the chill
dren hope different selection will be made. Let
the desideratum be not so much one who wears Q
and faithful devoting his entire time to the work.

Meeting Of the Republican State Central Com
mittee-Appointment Of an Elector aud
Two Congressman at Large
Fornsy's Constant Fight

HARRISBURG, Pa, July rs, 1872.
The Republican State Central Committee met TN
this city this morning for the purpose OF norrnat-
ing an elector at large and two Congressmen.
agreeable to the late Apportionment law. which
gives the State OF Pennsylvania two extra Congress
men. There were seventy eight members present.
and the proceedings were characterized by harmony
and goOd-will throughout. From rumors current
In Philadelphia yesterday, it was supposed that
the committee seriously thought OF changing the
nominees for Governor and Auditor General, for it
cannot be denied that Hartranit's alleged CON-
nectlon with the Evans fraud has materially
weakened the present ticket. The committee
in secret thoroughly canvassed the pros and cons
Of the proposed change and concluded that il is a
bad policy to 'swap horses in the middle OF the
stream" II the party cannot carry their present
candidates to victory in October there is very little
hope that others would meet with better success.
William ID. FOrbin, OF Philadelphia, COlored, was
nominated for elcctor at large; Glenni W. schoaeId,
OF WARREN and General Charles Albright, OF Car
bon, were nominated for congressman at large.
The committee received reports from every
county in the State, and report themselves well
satisfied with the state OF affairs.
had conversation this afternoon with State
Treasurer Mackay. 1t was In relation to FOlney's
bitter fight against Hartranit and Cameron. In re-
ply to direct question concerning Mr.. Forney's
bitterness OF spirit, anu why he still maintained the
fight, Mr.. Mackay informed me that 1t arose from
ono cause only-the connection Of the Forney family
subpGnaed as witness by the committee last
not protecting him. Cameron occupies the
position that Forney cOvets-the United States
Senatorship, hence his fight with Cameron. Mr..
Mackay and others OF the committee, will net
admit that Cameron stands In FOrney's way, or
that any one stands in his way, for it Is not adj
mtted by Pennsylvania politicians that Forney has
any chance whatever of securing nomination.
Geary Is quietly ignored by every One and spends
his time recOuntng his many claims on the peo-
pie S gratitude, and says he will 90 down to his
grave covered with honor and possessing the hearts
Of all the people OF the commonwealth.

Curiosities of Instinct.

A fact connected with the history of the
Dissippus butterfly shows its astonishing
instinct. When winter comes, the fall
brood of larvae have only attained about
one-third of their growth. In this condi-
ton they would certainly all perish were it
not for the provision which each worm
is taught to make for its own preserva-
ton. Taking leaf of the willow,
it constructs with it comfortable
and singular house, in which it
passes the winter. When setting about the
work of housebuilding, it first fastens the
stem of the leaf securely to the twig by
silken cords, so that the strong winds of
winter cannot drive it from its moorings.-
1t next "gnaws off the blade of the leaf at
its tip-end, leaving nothing but the mid
rib" Then folding the blade thus pre-
pared into the form of cylinder, it sews
the edges together with silk, and, drawing
the long portion of the leaf which was left
after gnawing over the mouth of its cylindri-
cal chamber, it fastens it there, as door, by
means of silken threads. And here, in
closed in its leaf-home, it rests contented-
ly and safely until the bright, sunny days
of May call it forth to prey upon the fresh
leaves, to complete its caterpillar growth,
and to fulfill its destiny.
This singular fact was first given to the
world by the lamented Walsh, with whose
account of another remarkable fact in it his
tory, will close this paper. "Not the least
wonderful part of the phenomena is, that
it is only the autumnal brood of Larvae
that form pither-like houses to live in dur
ing the inclement season of the. year, the
summer brood having no occasion to shell
ter themselves from the cold. We
thus have an instance Of curious architec-
tural instinct being only developed in
alternate generations which is much the
same thing as if, with a certain race of
men, the great-grandfathers, the fathers
and the, grandchildren ran wild in the
woods, and the grandfathers, the sons,
and the great-grandchidre lived in houses,
and led the life of civilized human beings"

Don't Advertise.

Don't do it. Don't advertise your busi-
ness /; it is paying out money to accommo-
date other people if they want to buy
your goods let them hunt you up.
Don't advertise, for it gets your name
abroad, and you are apt to be flooded with
circulars from business houses, and to be
bored with drummers from the wholesale
establishments, all of which also results in
soliciting your order for new goods, and
money to pay for them, which is very an
noying to one of dyspeptic temperament.
Don't advertise, for it brings people in
from country Country folks, you know,
are of a'inquiring turn of mind, } and they
will ask you many astonishing questions
about prices, try your temper with show
ing them goods, and even vex you with
the request to tie them up /; which puts you
to an additional trouble of buying more.
Don't advertise it gives people abroad
a knowledge of your town, and they come
and settle in it; it will grow, and other
business will be induced to come in and
thus increase your competition.
In short, if you would have a quiet
town, not too large; if you would not be
harassed by multitudinous cares and per-
plexities of business; if you would avoid
being bothered with paying for and losing
time to read great cumbersome newspa-
per, just remain quiet; don't let the peo-
Pile know five miles away where you are,
nor what you are doing, and you will be
severely let alone to enjoy the bliss of un-
disturbed pose.-Gazette, Redwood city,

SHIPPING NEws.-The steamers "Geo,
b. Upton" Captain Roberts, of the Virgil
mia Packet company, and the "Wyanoke, p
Captain Couch, of the Old Dominion line,
met with a severe gale off Delaware bay,
during their last trip to this port. The
weather was threatening when they left
New York, and were the only vessels ven
turing out. When at the point named, the
wind suddenly changed from Northeast to
Northwest, and blew fercely for a
time. The foreyard of the ''Upton" was
carried away, but the vessel weathered the
storm without further damage. The signal
gun of the "Wyanoke" was swept over
board by the pitching of the vessel, and
several horses on board were killed by
being tossed from side to side in the heavy
sea. The lost gun formerly belonged to
the steamer Fulton" while the latter
vessel piled between New York and Havre
before the war. Both these vessels, not
withstanding the severe weather, came into
this port on time, and left at their usual
hour on the return trip.
