TO the Editor of the Ne,c National Era:
. DEAR SIR: By formal request of the
Trustees of this University " Committee of
Education" has been organized substantially
outside Of their Board. The object of this
committee is to solicit, receive, and disburse
funds for worthy students who are without
means. The need Of this help to them is
dpprrout 20 unc VINO VIII tnlnK how many Of
them are children of those who have heen
long held in bondage. Very few Of the four
hundred young men and young women now
here can pursue their studies without some
aid beyond that their fathers or mothers can
furnish.
The names Of the committee will assure
you that every dollar will go straight to the
object desired. The aid is rendered as loan,
without interest, to be refunded for the ben
eft Of others as soon as the first recipients
are able to make this return. If you can
send us much or little, you will receive the
thanks of the students helped to what is
more than money, and God will reward you.
Very truly yours,

Children Bought ln Italy for the
New York Market.

In the southern part of Italy many of the
peasantry are below the intelligence of the
Bedouins. They subsist upon the scanty
growth OF partly cultivated farms, and raise
barely enough to carry them through the
year. This is especially true of the dwellers
in the vicinity of the villages of Marsico-
vettere, Lacorenzana, Caleello, and Corlet-
to--all within radius of one hundred miles
of Naples.
Agents go out from New York about once
a year and visit these neighborhoods. Their
stories of the great prospects which are of
fered to the young in America are poured
into the ears of the peasants and ignorant
villagers. After the subject has been some
what agitated the agent becomes more ex-
plicit.
He approaches the father of a family, and
after commenting upon the beauty of his
children, tells the infatuated parent that his
boys "should be sent atA,nce to America,

Internal affairs. The unity and equality o.
this Republic are to IL, what the sea is to
Great Britain-a wall of defense. 1t is idle
for any nation to contemplate tho conquest
| Of this Republic while We are a unit at home
and the opposite is also true.
SOCIAL EQUALITY.
| In reference to social equality-the great
| bag-bear of the civil rights bill-which stalks
the chambers Of our white friends in as
frightening an attitude as Hamlet's ghost,
l deem it idle jargon. What is it but a
ghost of an objection, an exploded theory,
q false assumption, vagary of the magma
ton. 1t Is conscience making towards of
those who fear.
Who can deny that social equality is never
produced by legislation. Its agents are COM
merce, religion, science, art, and culture
and who can arrest them in their tendency =?
They will find their level as certain as water
does its. need not say any moro of this
public objection, as it bears its absurdty on
its face.
In closing, let me say that we are, doubt
less, fortunate in the reelection of President
Grant. The country is assured CT further
success. 1t is the duty Of Congress to MAIN
tain an equality in all respects Of its citizens.
Will Congress pass Mr.. Summers civil
rights bill, and cease the indigntics heaped
upon class Of citizens, not too bad to be
clothed in the country's highest garb of trust,
as ministers Of its wants abroad and con-
servers Of its interests; but yet arc too mean
when returned, to receive accommodation at
ordinary hotels. What holds good of an in
dividual, holds good of nation. "Delay
breeds DANGER Procrastination is the
thief eftime." 1t is just as right to pass the
civil rights bill tomorrow, as it will be a
thousand years to come. 1t is founded on
the internal principles of truth and Justice
We ask for no bill appeasing us-no law
whose remedy is so defective and partial as
always to enable the rich to escape punish
ment by reason of his riches, and the poor to
need justice because of his poverty.
If law is violated in Texas, infringing
upon the civil rights of any citizen, the ag-
grieved, if he be poor, is at disadvantage,
since, BY the right Of appeal, the rich can go
where the poor can never reach them.
Mr.. Carpenters civil rights bill, as reme-
dy for grievance, is defective in this re-
spect, as well as many others.
In hope that the unnecessary delay will be
averted by calm moments of consideration of
the necessity of immediate justice, and that
our good President will not be saddled with
fault not his, remain, truly yours,

Gradual Marriage,

There is nothing better in all of Theodore
Parker's writings than his little talk about
marriage, in which he says that happy we'd
ding is long falling in love. Young persons
think love only belongs to brown hair, and
plump, round crimson cheeks. So it does
for its beginning, just as Mount Washington
begins at Boston Bay. But the golden mar
riage is part Of love which the bridal day
knows nothing of. Youth is the tassel and
silken flower Of life; age is the full corn, ripe
and solid in the ear. Beautiful is the morn
ing OF love, with its prophetic crimson, violet,
purple, and gold, with its hopes Of days that
are to come. Beautiful also is the evening
Of love, with its glad remembrances, and its
rainbow side turned toward heaven as we'll
as earth. Young people marry their oppo-
sites in temper and general character, and
such marriage is commonly q good match.
They do it instnctively. The young man
does not say: my black eyes require to be
wed with blue, and my overvehemence re-
quires to be a little modified with somewhat
of dizziness andreserve." When these oppo-
sitions como together to be wed, they do not
know it, but each thinks the other just like
himself. Old people never marry opposites
! they marry their sinlilars and from calcula-
ton. Each CT these two arrangements is
very proper. In their long journey these
| young opposites will fall out, by the way, a
| great many times, and both get away from /
the road but each will charm the other back
again, and by and by they will be agrees ps
to the place they will go to and the road = Sect
will go by, and become reconciled. The

Riding - Hobby to Death.

The London journals have boen publishing
reports of the trial of "vilage Hampden,
who, with dauntless breast" threw himself
athwart the scientific theories OF his age, and
made bet of 81 500 that the world vas not
round but fat. The bet was taken, and the
best scientific men ana instruments were en-
gagged to settle the matter, the umpire being
the editor of the Field newspaper. After the
incest adjustments Of tho instruments and
the measurement of pool Of water, demon
stration of the conyexitg Of the surface was
furnished, AID tho world was shown to be
round. Mr. John Eampden was pronounced
a loser. Whether LIE believed that the world
had always been Eat or that it had become
hattened in the course Of years. is not stated.
The only thing to be regretted is that the
bet was not so arfSnged as to make Mr..

The Champion NumEsmaiist.

1t may not be generally known that DR..
Charles Spier, Of this place, is the oldest liv-
ing and most successful numismatist in the
world. He has been engaged in the collec-
ton of coins for over fifty-seven years, and
has now over $4,000 pieces, representing
every species OF coin ever produced in any
year, or under the dominion of any sovereign
or government, from the days of Semiramis
and the Pharaohs down to the present time.
His collection is worth hundreds Of thousands
Of dollars. He has over 10000 of his pieces
In the vaults Of the Bank Of California. and
1000 or over here. At the Bank of Califor-
MIA his collection Is pronounced the best and
most valuable in existence, not excepting
those of Queen Victoria and the Sultan Of
Turkey, which are particularly extensive and
valuable. A few days ago we examined the
1000 Of his pieces which he keeps here.
They prove a most interesting study.
