TIE Galdry for April appears will
its ''usual supply of good things" a,
we so often read and as usual we find
the best relish in the latter part. "Wan-
derings' by Lady Blanche Murphy, is
a very interesting description Of Roman
Festivals. The first article Of Drift
wood tells one Of those saddcst Of all
sad stories, of the torturing of Iittl,
children in order to make them expert
beggarS. There is a good little article
on the " Newborn Republic " saying
what most of us feel. In the Scientific
Miscellany is an account of an investi-
cation into the origin of the PLAGUE
that for the last two years has been rag
ing in Persian Kurdistan." " Whether
this is the same disease that used to be
called by that name, the article does not
say, but says it came from the opening
of some caves where had been burned
forty years before, those who had died
of this disease.

To OLYMPIA FOR REpAIRs.-It is GER
tainly great pity and drawback for
this city to have no means by which
proper repairs can be made to al ocean
steamer when they are necessary and
be obliged to send them to other ports
to have the work done Instances of
such lack of advantages, that are pos
itively necessary to any commercial port,
should not be long suffered to exist in u
city that lays claim to the number of
sea-going and other vessels which enter
her port annually. Unfortunate as this
state of dockage opportunities is, it is
nevertheless true, and the steamer Gus
sic 7eJfair had to be taken to Olympia
for repairs, for which port she left last
evening in convoy of the steamer Cali
fornia, taking with her several tons Of
iron with which to repair. She is re-
ported to leak badly, caused by the Sc
we're straining and heavy seas she expe-
rienced in her long search for the
steamer Geo. s. W'igla.-Herald.

Dear Brethren: I take this opportu-

pointed Easter Offering for the {. En-
tlowment Fund of the Bishop Scott
Grammar and Divinity School" Al
though this fund is slowly increasing.
yet it does not gain as rapidly as it
should, in view of it's great importance
to the permanent foundation of tins i'll
stitution. The ground, building, libra
~ and apparatus which we have already
are a very good beginning, but they are
only beginning, and if we would make
this School what it should be, and put
it beyond the hazard of financial failure
we must not stay our efforts till it is
mrU and fully endored. Doubtless it
will take years to accomplish this, but
we who have upon as tho responsible
ties OF the present time, she I'D be ready
and willing to do our rart in this
important undertaking. I beg, there

giesations be called to this subject, ard

FASHION NOTES.

Frog green is the latest new color.
Opera cloaks are often trimmed with
tufts of roses.
The polonaise promises to continue
being worn all through the spring.
Jewelry made of jet and cut steel is
the proper thing for half mourning.
Fashionable young ladies are wearing
wide ruching of tulle about the neck,
a la Marie Antoinette.
The two new dress materials for
spring wear are India camels hair and
vigogne, light, soft, wooden fabric.
Long trains are now worn only for
occasions Of great ceremony. For Or
binary evening dress the demi-train is
in great favor. :
The latest revival of an old fashion is
the tight Medicis sleeves, with great
puff Mt the shoulder, such us one sees
III old paintings.

worn are much improved since the moo

GEO. r. CoLE's REpuBL1cANlsM.- The
Courier defends the action of the Pres
ident in appointing Geo. f. Cole to the
position of Postmaster at Portland. 1t
amounts merely to justification of po-
litical apostacy, recognition of right
to turn ones coat whenever it may
suit the interests or convenience of the
wearer. The Courier is fortunate in
the selection of its mode of defense.
It's editor, its owners, it's financial sup
porters, the clique that run it, and all
having any influence in directing its
policy, have need of the most charitable
construction of the very liberal views
expressed in support of Mr.. Cole.
The consistent men of the party have
long since ceased to ertany influence
in shaping it's policy. Renegade DEM
ocrats, and professional time-servers,
have seized upon the fruits of victory,
and are banded together alike by the
ties of a common interest and COM
mon infamy. ..
