HONE SUNsHINE.-Many a child goes
astray, not because there is want of
PRAYER or virtue at home, but simply be-
cause home lacked sunshine. A child
needs smiles as much as flowers need
sunbeams. Children look little beyond
the present moment. Ifa thing pleases
they are apt to seek il; if it displeases,
they arc prone to avoid it.. If home is
the place where faces are sour and words
harsh, and fault-fin1ing Is ever in the
ascendant, they will spend AS many
hours as possible elsewhere. Let every
father and mother, then, try to be happy
Let them talk to their children, espec-
tally the little ones, in such way as to
make them happy.

Common Schools.

The following is that portion of the
Governors message to the extra session
of the Legislature, which refers to COM
mon schools
Through memorials from the State
Teachers Association, and from other
sources entitled to high consideration, I
was solicited to call your attention spe-
cially TO the importance of providing for
the creation of the office of Superinten-
dent of Public Instruction. No desire has
been manifested in communication with
the Executive Office to present the ques-
tons of schools and education for your
consideration, further than to ask the Gre
alton of this Office and provide for it pro-
per salary. L
need not say more than 1 have hereto
fore done upon this subject. Its import
ance cannot be over-estimated, and hope
you will not fail to meet the questions al
once in such manner as to meet the just de-
mands of the country. A report will be
submitted to you on this subject.

boring masses Of the Republic. Install
this party in power. and it would next
demand payment for all losses incurred
by the rebels during the war, including
payment for slaves. 1t would next de-
mand payment of pensions to rebel sol
iiers. This would be followed by the ex-
pulsion from the South of all loyal men of
Northern birth and native Unionists. To
the accomplishment of these objects they
are daily looking.
In conclusion, L would express the hope
that the time Of holding our State Con-

The Centennial Celebration.

The Philadelphia Press speaking of the
arrangements that are being made. for the
Centennial celebration in 1876 says:
The Centennial Commission yesterday
adjourned, to meet in this city on May %.
1t was in session just seven days, and in
that time accomplished an organization,
made itself familiar with the project, its
grandeur aud importance, and perfected
many minor details, among them the Sc
lection of the site for the exposition build
ing, and an invitation for plans and
estimates for the same. One of the best
results of the meeting was the cultivation
of a thorough good understanding be-
tween the commissioners and our authori-
ties and the people. However national
the character of the enterprise, the work
of arranging and preparing for it is large
ly local, and must necessarily be co-opera-
tive. We have shown to the commission
ers that we are willing to do our share of
the berculean labor incident, and we think
have won their affection and confidence.

that they can defeat any bill reducing the

NEWS FROM WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, November 20.
A bill has been prepared for Introduction In
Congress to consolidate the internal revenue
bureau with the customs bureau Of the treas
ury, and place all The collections OF revenue
BY the government under one head, with q
system Of special agents, who are to assess as
we'll as collect the revenue from Internal
sources. 1t ID not proposed, OF course, TO
change the mode of collecting the revenue
from customs. The bill, 10 Ia claimed, will do
away with o large force of officials. Inc, uding
The head of the internal revenue bureau and
some of the depnlies. and save ths govern,
ment many millions of dollars With this and
other bills relating 10 the same general qnes-
ton, It Is evident That the COMMITTEES on ways
and means will have The proper basis from
which to frame a bill Tor the early action OF
Congress.
A Wide difference Of opinion has arisen
In The House appropriations committee,
now In daily session here, over the postal
telegraph question. Some of the friends
of Ine system favor what Ia known az
the Hubbard bill, now before them, which
provides for the government contracting
with existing or new lines to do It's business
the same as 1t contracts to transport the
malls, while others favor the plan submitted
by the postmasler-general, 10 be endorsed, II
is said, by the President, for purchasing exist
lug lines and extending them. The commit
tee has decILed nothing. Postmaster General
Cresweli, in his annus report, recommends
that the government purchase existing lines
for the postal telegraph system, provided tnat
they can be obtained tor Twelve millions OF
dollars. If not. then he recommends that the
government build Its own lines, with all It's
operators made officers of the postofice de-
partment. This Ia, 10 briei, the whole OF his
Recommendation on this subject.
The secretary of war In his forthcoming re-
port will ask Congress for an additional ap-
preparation for headstones for the graves In
soldiers national cemeteries. Two hundred
thousand dollars were appropriated last ses-
sion, but 1t IL estimated that an appropriation
of half a million more will be required, In
Gliding one hundred thousand dollars for the
graves OF unknown soldiers, though 1t is sug.
gested that q monument In each cemetery OF
the unknown soldiers would be more appro-
pirate than thousands OF headstones merely
bearing the Inscription Of "Unknown."
