Itisnot hard to believe that Dickenss early hard
oxperiepce was q grief even in memory. The despair
Of children - keen-as keen their innate sense OF
ius,ice Here is sad little story from Germany
the moral of which is applicable to any civilized
country In Murenburg a boy only ten years Old
lately hung himself in his school-room, leaving a
letter in which he placed his death at his teacher
door bequeathed his small property to his sister, and
asked pardon Of his father and mother for the sin
he was about to commit. Inquiry showed that
during the mornings lessons the boy was inatten-
tive and his teacher instead OF suspectlng fatigue
could think of no better remedy for this than CEN
suring and punishng him, in spite of his beng
usually a willing and industrious scholar, and OF
a constitution not strong. Taking exhaustion for
laziness the master struck threatened. and at last
locked him alone in the school-room, where the un-
happy and tired little fellow utterly hopeless, scrb-
bed his pathetic letter and went out of the world
School and family discipline has changed It's
methods much in late years, but there Is still
enough of the old obtuse system left to make this
incident suggestive.

As a phllanthrOpist and defender OF human

Always marvellous stories will be told to support
impossible theories. At Ironton, Ohio, Young per-
son was drowned. Search was going on for the
body, when an old woman appeared and asked that
Nh unwashed shirt of the boy should be thrown into
the river declaring that it would disappear directly
over tho place whero the body was. Need we say
that it was thrown in; that it did disappear, and
that the body was brought up just in that spot with

Two Temperance Conventions were held III
Albany, Yesterday; one was called the Temper
ance and Sabbath Convention, nnd the other
that of the Radical PrOhibitiOniSts. The latter
which is a third party movement, consisted OF
only eighteen OF twenty persons, and was of
little importance. The other numbered one
hundred and fifty delegates, who came IN
response to call, issued May q, inviting
every church, Sabbath school, Young Mems
Christian Association, and Temperance Society,"
in favor of maintaining the sanctity of
the Christian Sabbath and the suppress
sion of the liquor traffic, to send
one representative. The action of this
Convention was distinguished by great mod
Grafton and worldly good sense. 1t was de-
cided not to make separate nominations fer
the Legislature or State offices, unless the
candidates of both the great parties should be
men from whom Temperance measures would
receive no support. At the same time the
Convention appeared to be fully impressed
with the deceitfulness of all politicians. Not
the least quarter was given to Gov. Dix. The
Temperance men, however, seemed to think
the Civil Damages bill was worth quite as much
TO them as the Local Option bill. The idea
that any distinction should be made by the
Governor or the Legislature between ale,
lager beer, and cider. and the stronger liquors
was utterly secuted. In their resolutions,
Total Prohibition was laid down as the object
of their labors and the only result with which
they would be content. At the same time it
was noticeable, from the remarks of the dele
gates, that the Temperance cause is less VigOr-
ously supported than formerly. 1t is doubtful
if the Temperance men pursue any course in
this campaign which will differ from that
therefore, chosen by them. They will support
the candidates who are willing to show an
outward respect for the Prohibition move
ment. But their experience this Winter will
make them moro wary hereafter of mere pro-
feSsiOns,

Shall we not some of these days, have an Ameri-
can Alpine Club' The Alpine part Of the name
is not necessarily misuse Of things; and some Of
our mountain climbers doing great things IN the
way Of making the ascent Of sEow-peaks. Two can
didates for the prospective American Alpine Club
lately ascended Mt. Lyell, one of the precipitous
peaks of the Sierra Nevada of the Yosemite region
The peak is 1880 feet above the level Of
the sea, is covered with perpetual snow, and
traverscd by dangerous moraines and living glaciers
The adventurous climbers made the ascent on foot
accompanied by guide, carrying only their blankets
and scanty provisions, and travelling seven hours
over the unwasting SHOWS. The view from the sum
nit is described as sublime and amply compcnsating
in its revelations for the arduous and tolsome jour
ney I'D the mountain. Where is another snow-peak

The most marked and the pleasantest difference
between tho medical practice of this and the last
century lies in the growing agreeability Of modern
doses. The indescribably awful potions which used
to DO in fashion have given place to those for which
the average child might cry without being rdica-
lals One Of the most excellent medicines has been
latoly announced to be asparagus. This is said TO
be a cure for rheumatsm-a sure cure for
slight cases of the disease 1t is dose which can
certainly be taken with patience and equanimlty.

Reports from the temporary seat Of Govern
ment at Long Branch signify proposed
change in the Cabinet and some important
notifications in the diplomatic service. The
apparent reason why Secretary Richardson is to
be displaced is that Wall Street demands the
sacrifice; and the reason why Minister Jay is
not at once recalled from Vienna is that he is
specially useful there. If Mr.. Jay should be
recalled, in spite of his usefulness, the later
traditions of our foreign diplomacy would be
admirably observed. As for the reported
change in the Treasury Department, we prefer
to believe that the Administration Will be
able to give some better excuse for the step,
should it be taken, than that which is now
suggested for its action.
