The first sale of greenbacks in the
State treasury-or rather which ought to
have been ~there-Was made on the 18th
inst, by Auditor Clinton, the sum of
100000 being disposed of at prices rang
ing from 58 to 60 cents on the dollar,
paid In State warrants. The State has
saved, or rather made, by this single
sale, about $4,000. We hope that Au-
ditor Clinton, will perseyere in his
good work.

THE COST OF WORKING THE STREETS
= UNDER AN ECONOMICAL BOARD.
The Daily state journal. [volume] (Alexandria, Va.) 1868-1874, 1873-11-18


FACT AND FIoTIoN.-A correspond
ent Of Notes and Queries, an English
periodical, sends to that journal commu-
nication in which he gives some interesting
particulars in regard to "Dotheboy's
Hal" immortalized in Dickens's 'Nicho-
las Nickleby," and which is no longer a
school. The writer says that Mr.. Shaw,
the original of Squeers, married cousin
of his father. Dickens, he says. was
in the neighborhood only one day
and got great deal OF gossip
from quandam usher of Shaw's and
"bad lot" who had been turned off for bad
conduct. Shaw is said to have taken
Dickens caricature quite to heart, and to
have become childish and paralytic and
soon died. His wife died broken-hearted,
and the school went down fast. York
shire schools are said to be bad, but not as
bad as Dickens made them. The
great moralist said his description
was not meant to apply to any
particular man or school, but that il was
type of Yorkshire schools in general,
which seems to be considered as true.
There is strong feeling of indignation in
Shaw's neighborhood against Dickens, who
is looked upon there as the author of his
ruin, as well as of four other large schools
in the village. SO there are two sides to
every story, and it is not always easy to
decide which is fact and which is fiction.

ONE of the benefcent features Of our
glorious Christianity consists in the fact
that, while it is radical in its theory of
individual rights, it is just as conservative
in It's relation to society, sacredly honoring
the individual in the presence of society,
and as sacredly honoring society in the
presence of the individual, and holding both
responsible to the God of both. 1t so
blends the two principle of liberty and
order as to afford the best solution of the
social problem poSsibles among men. 1t in
spires men with the love of law and the love
of right, and where it prevails and SO far as
it prevails it makes right and law equiya-
lent terms. While it patronizes no wrong,
upholds none, and apologies for none, it
always lends the whole weight of its moral
power to the support of law and teaches
all its disciples to be conservative of pub
lie order under the authority of law. This
one benefit Of Christianity to the world,
we're there no other, is quite sufficient to
entitle it to universal regard.-N. 7. Hde-

PREsIDENTIALIN INAUGURATION DAYS.
The fourth of March, 1877, the time of the
next presidential Inauguration, will occur on
Sunday. In 1921 the fourth of March oc-
Cured on Sunday, and James Monroe was
inaugurated president for his second term
on the following Monday, March fifth. In
In 1919, General Zachary Taylor was pres
ident elect, the 4th of March was Sunday,
and he was inaugnrated on Monday, the
fifth. The government was not affected by
the interregnum, and the people of the
United States were wholly unconscious
that they were without an executive head
for twenty.four hours.

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, city whose
name will henceforth be heard with
shudder, was formerly the capital of
Cuba. 1t is maritime city, and in 1858
contained population of "a ,253. 1t is
the second city in size on the island, and is
situated on the Santiago river, six miles
from its mouth, on the south coast. 1t is
well built, with wide streets, and houses
chiefly of stone. The principal buildings
are the cathedral, several other churches,
college, and numerous converts and
schools. Its port is four miles in length,
is well sheltered, is defended by several
forts, and is deep enough for ships Of the
line. 1t is Economically situated, being
hemmed in by mountains, but the climate
is said to be very unhealthy.

THE MODERN PULPIT.-Much of the
effort of the modern pulpit is devoted to
showing that things which unregenerate
manhood will persist IN are not so sinful
after all as Mother Church would have us
think them. Thus the devil is not more
likely to overtake clergyman whose colt
goes inside of two thirty-seven than the
occupant of that numbering pulpit on
wheels, which can only pull through
at the rate of two forty. Again, if the
deacon overtakes the Sunday-scnool super
intendent on the Brighton road, each feels
for moment the unhallowed carnal ambi-
ton to reach the hotel first, and in the
mortified in the flesh-as one
Of them must be-by getting
there second, why talk about the "old
man." and the slippery ways, and all
that? There be speedy saints as well as
sulky sinners. Morality must mix up
with everyday life and not keep aloof.
Have we not already pastoral pastors,
and church lotteries, and kitchens and
services for feasting as well as fasting !?
Have we not the namesake Of one theolog-
ical organ in the "Mambrina Pilot"
Have we not Flora Tempel and the (Hiram)
Drew theological seminary? Surely what
ever is, is right; and if some muscular
Christian preachers are less proficient in
bowling down temptations than ten-pins we
must value them for the good
they possess and not look for
what they have not. The centrifugal
tendency of the contribution box may
well be counteracted by the centripetal
power Of the church saucepan, and the ex-
celIencies Of cookery supplement the short
comings of preaching Whatever we'll
conducted people wish to do they must be
allowed to do, if not encouraged TO do,
and the pulpit's task to justify it. The
day of asceticism and severity, we are told,
is past, and from reading some Monday
morning sermons we are inclined to think
SO. The higher moral influence of "seven
up'' may soon be descanted upon.--Bos-
