SOCIETY, REPORTING.

The Philadelphia Press makes the de-
mise Of the New York Fifth Auenue Jour
nal, ga rose-colored, sweetly-scented, and
effeminate newspaper" devoted mainly to
society" matters, the occasion to say that
"'society gossip" as the publication OF
personal paragraphs concerning fash
ionable people, the description Of toilettes
worn at balls and receptions, or the an
nouncements of marriages in high life,"
are called, has seen its day, aud henceforth
will be rsmitted to the very vulgar, and
perhaps abandoned even by them. It ap-
pears that the ladies of Washington have
declared war upon the prying, impudent
men and women who call themselves $50
ciety reporters" The Washington Re
publican contains whining article from its
reporter of this class, who appears to have
been led by the nose CT booted out Of some
house where his impertinence could not
longer be endured. Mr.and Mrs. Jenkins have
degenersted so rapidly and much Of late
10 fact, become so vulgar in the literary serse
that nobody with pretensions to respect
ability any longer tolerates either their in
quisitiveness or obsequious laudation.
Gossip, however, is always pleasant, and
can be made instructive as well as enter
tanning, and for such Of these writers as
have brains above the innumerable articles
of female hesdgear and dress there will be
plenty of employment in Washington and
al the large cities.

2 Senator James yesterday introduced
another funding bill, which has many Of
the desirable features Of other funding bills
we have already noticed, and some not to
be found in any of those bills. Il provides
for funding 10 six per cent coupon bonds,
for one thousand dollars each, all outstand-
ing legally issued bonds Of the Safe due or
to be due on or before the LIST of July
1874, and all past due coupons, and coupons
maturir G before that time. The nsw bonds
have forty years to run from July ], 1874,
but they may be redeemed at the option of
the State at any time after July /, 1884,
thus making then what are known as ten
forty bonds, The interest on these bonds
is to be paid semi-annually in New York
on the LIST of January and July
in each year, on and after the
1st of july, 1874. The faith,
honor and credit Of the State is pledged
for the payment Of the bonds at maturity
and for providing sinking fund for that
purpose and for the prompt payment of the
interest on them. 1t is made the duty Of
the State Treasurer to set apart fol. that
exclusive purpose 60 much Of the revenues
as may be necessary to pay the interest as
it falls due, commencing with the lst OF
July, 1874. The coupons of bonds now
held by educational institutions shall be paid
and not funded. If those institutions elect
not to flnd their bonds under this act, they
shall nevertheless be entitledto be paid their
interest at maturity. The bin provides fora
rigid examination and auditing of all
boms and coupons presented to be funded,
and registration of them in the Office
of the Secretary of State. The school
fund is to be funded and the interest TO be
paid in the same manner as with other
bonds Of the new series. No coupon of
bonds not now due shall be paid except those
coupons falling due on and after July !, 1874,
and these coupons will not be paid until the
bonds to which they belong have been ex-
aminad by the Comptroller and, if found to
have been issued according to law, register
ed and the registration indicated thereon
by the Comptroller and the Secretary of
State. Bonds that fall due between the
1st of July, 1874 and the LIST of July, 1884,
may be at the option of the State funded in
The new series Of bonds authorized by this
bill. Coupons Of bonds funded under this
law and coupons falling due on and after
July l, 1874, of bonds not now due which
may be examined, audited and registeredas
provided Tor in the law, shall be receivable
for all taxes or revenues due the State.
The ten-forty provision in this bill is not
in any of the other bills which we have
noticed. While judging from the present it
may be Of no Importance to the State, yet
other States have seen cause to.regret that
it was not a portion Of their law, and the
United States has adopted it.

RAILROAD REspoSs,BILITY.

a bill has been introduced IN the Legs
lature of New Y ork sfor the better protec-
ton of railway employees, and to provide
for their compensation for personal injury
while in the discharge of their duties"
which carries the responsibility of railroads
to avery advanced point, while it shows
the DRIFT of public sentiment in that direc-
ton. The first section provides that any
railway company in that State shall be liza
BILE for injury or loss of life happening 10
any ofthe employees, except where the in
Jury or loss of lie is the fault OF such en-
poyes, and that compensation or damages
may be recovered in an action in any court
ofcompesent jurisdiction. The second and
third sections provide that in case Of acct
dent to any employe without his fault, re-
suting in the loss Of an arm or leg, or per.
manent disability, The person SO disabled
shall be entitled to recover compensation or
damage in an action at law, to an amount
not exceeding FIVE thousand dollars, nor
less than fifteen hundred dollars; and IL
case of death resulting from such accident,
the legal representatives of the employe
NAV recover a sum not exceeding seven
thousand dollars, nor le's Than two thou
sand dollars, as the courts may determine.

THE SARRATH.

In England there is a set of men who
are earnestly engaged in the object of giving
the workingman some employment for his
time on Sunday, and making this the first
step to bringing Christian influences to
bear upon him. Mechanics institutes,
open libraries, harmless recreations of all
kinds, are advocated, end, where possible,
the theory takes practical shape. Il is, in
some measure, the going back to the time
when the parson preached to his flock in
the morning, aud took part in their game of
cricket, and the sports on the village green
in the afternoon. As an instance, there
comes to US en- account of the course ofthe
Rev. Frederick Silver, rector for twenty
years of paEish in Shropshire, at frs
noted for disorder and drunkenness.
He found Sunday the worst day of the
week. He wished TO reform this. Some
of his people suggested prsyer-meeting, and
other religious exercises. MIR. Silver thought
that other means should also be tried. He
commenced to receive mysterious boxes.
One Sunday afternoon a museum was
opened in the town. a hundred fine paint
ings were displayed; model of the Albam-
bra in Spain; specimens of coccons at work,
and the 136 colors which silk can take; q
fine model Of an elephant from 8 palace in
Delhi; cases Of coins from William the
Conqueror 10 Victoria; antique watches
and jewelry; autographs of great men; Or
pathological collections, intending Australian
specimens; different costumes, boots and
shoes, nets, implements and weapons from
New Zealand, Madagascar, North America,
Africa, China, and India. Mr.. SilVe" is said
to have been very successful as a reformer

A correspondent of the Memphis appeal
is wonderfully indignant at the Nashville
papers. BE says: "No set speeches are
made in our House and hardly any speak
ing is done at ALL" We take it that he is
some fledgling of the House who is more
gifted at putting himself and his measures
than he is at discussing any of the measures
before the General Assembly. We venture
the assertion that if a proposition were made
to prins a bill in order that the members, the
press and the public could get to read and
examine its provisions, this legislative scrib-
bier would be the first to cry out against
the extravaganza of so doing; and if an
editor was TO be seen day after day going
from committee to committee to get to read
the bills referred to them, this same anony
nous scribbler would be the first to cry out
Lobbyist" he is evidently disappointed
and disguised that he has not been made
hero Of by the Nashville papers. Heroes
are not made of such stuff. -r-r

THE last few months have br ought to light
some things at which simple, honest people
are disposed to open their eyes wide in
wonder, but the Springfield Republican
rather thinks the end is not yet. 1t feels
quite COZ fldent that 'Fhere are more and
bigger fish IN this Credit Mobilier pond
than have Jet been caugbt-bold, wary fell
lows, who keep in deep water, andare now
silently chucking at the greenness and con-
segment misfortunes Of their less expert
enced and less cautious brethren. They

of their knowiDgness."

Poor Colfax catches it on all sides. This
rather PecksnifiaR anecdote Of the Vice
President is related by the Washington
Sunday Chronicle: "The Credit Mobiier
investigation has given US many strange
and new characters, but It remained for
Mr.. Schuyler Colfax TO enact the role of
Truthful James," The honorable gentle
man called on friend the other day, and
sent up his card, bearing the following
inscription: your sorrowful but truthful
friend, Schuyler Colfax.' This last feat of
the Vice President throws Bret Harte into
the shade,"

THE doctors have decided that the late
Gov. Geary, Of, Pennsylvania, died Of sner-
vous prostration," but the people, or at least
the press, appear rather slow in accepting
this solution. The Philadelphia Age de-
clares that the symptoms must have been
very obscure, for the late Governor was ap.
parently in the full vigor of powerful
frame and in the prime of life; and the
Harrisburg Patriot says be was temperate
in his habits ana simple in his tastes
Never was there patient who seemed less
likely to die Of ''nervous prostration."

THE Rev. Mr.. Goodsell has visited Mrs.
Sherman, the "Connecticut BoTgia," and
reports that she appears 'to be q person
born with no moral sense whatever, with
not the slightest idea of right and wrong,
and yet not to be a person of loose habits,
deep passions, or of Ibidinous TENDENCIES"
The New York Tribune does not place i'm
p,icit faith in the opinion of the Rev. Mr..
Goodsell. That paper says it is hard to
believe that Q person with intellect enough
to conceive the idea of administering
poison, and with shrewdness enough to
conceal for time this particular crime, can
be totally deficient in moral sense. If she
did not know that Che deed was evil why
did she try to hide il?

THE Forrest divorce scandal, which oc-
cupied a large share Of public attention
good many years sgo, is likely to be re-
vived in a new form. Mrs. Forrest, who is
now residing at Staten Island, las notified
the executors that she intends TO apply for
dover in the es ate, on the ground that she
was never divorced from her husband. The
decree, at the time it was rendered, was
rather singular one; but as it was OBJ
tanned in New York court, no great sur
prise was manifested at the peculiar position
in which it left the parties. Mr.. Forrest
afterwards made an effort to get divorce
from his wife from the Legislature of
Pennsylvania, but failed. We presume
d the question of The marital relation existing
between the parties from the date of the
decree by the New York court, will be ad-
Indicated by Pennsylvania court,
That there is skeleton in every house
is proverbial truth. Sometimes the skel-
eton is concealed; sometimes all the world
can see it. At any rate, it is true. In the
Royal Palace at Rome it assumes the char
acter of domestic strife. Victor Eman-
uel, King of Italy, had for his first wife an
Austrian archduchess. She died in 1855, Ieav-
ing four children; Humbert, the Crown
Prince; Amadeo, late King Of Spain;
Clothilde, wife of Prince Napoleon (famil-
iarly called Plon-Plon), and Maria PA,
Queen of Portugal, Tbs gallant widower
contracted a second marriage, in the NOR
ganatic or left-handed manner, with TIE
Countess Mirafori, by whom be has had
several children. 1t is no secret that, for
some years, Victor Emanuel has been desi-
rous ofIsising the Countess to the position
of Queen of Italy, and that bis children by
the first marriage sse decidedly opposed to
such measure. Latterly, it is said, bis
Majesty has been more decided and explicit
on this subject; that Prince Humbert, heir
apparent to the Crown, has given him
notice that If such step were taken, he
(the Prince and his wife will feel COM
palled to leave Rome-perhaps to quit Italy.
The character of tie Countess Mirafori is
wholly unimpescAed.
