Educate he Girls.

Inc tenderness displayed towards
our daughters in guarding them from
all knowledge of the.world, supplying
their every want, and freeing them
from the necessity Of exertion in self
support, is a cruel kindness. In this
country, where primogeniture is not
recognized, where property Is rarely
entailed, where fortunes are so contin-
ually shifting hands, where the rich
man of to-day may be the poor man OF
tomorrow, and where the petted and
INDUCED wife of the husband, neglect
full of life insurance, has before her the
possibility Of widowhood and dastitu-
ton, there Is nothing so wrong, SO I'M
Just, 80 wicked as training up women
to be SO dependent on Others, and OF a
| consequence, 80 forlornly helpless when
their dependence fails them. Every
girl, as well as every boy, should have
some honest, self-supp occupa'
tiom. There may never be need OF ~
practice on the part Of the girl; bat thu
accomplishment win be q valued ON
nevertheless, for 1t will give her cour
age to meet life, and whatever change
&c may bring her. The long and shor
Of the matter Is that girls must b
taught, as girls are taught, that It !
disgraceful to look to another for tina
means ofsupportwhich they are perfect
ly competent to acquire for themselves

lDoos qnd Sheep.

/ The slaughter Of, over one hundred
sheep along the line OF the Wilmington
and, Roading railroad, q few days ago, by
worthless dogs, Is causing to be discussed
the question which is now agitating the
Western and some OF the Southern
States, viz. whether dogs. in. sheep rails
ing communities are not q nuisance that
should be ab6ted by SUMMARY extermi-
nation. At late Western fairs other live
stock were we'll represented, but sheep
were remarkably scarce, the depreda-
tions OF dogs making it Impossible to
raise them in some sections, so that they
have almost disappeared from the West
efn States. The owner Of ten thousand
sheep in Illinois has been obliged to send
them to Colorado, his neighbors' dogs
! killing them at the rate of five hundred
IA night in some instances. In Virginia
the damage done by dogs has made
sheep raising unprohtable,, the ours
hunting them down in packs like wolves
Maryland also loses largely from sheep,
killing dogs, and the loss throughout the
United States from this cause foots III
millions Of dollars annually. 1t seems
decidedly unfair that one of the great
Industries Of the country SHOULD be par
alyzed by n breediof animals which are
of doubtful utility except ip,exIeme ca
SEES. and the suggestion OF some Of the
losers that the sheep owners should bant
together and hunt down the dogs may
yet be acted upon in some Of the South
ern and w esterll States, and measures
| equally; efficacious, though not so gene
RAIL- INDY become necessary in. our owr

In the course of lecture to working
men at Manchester, England, on the
18th ult., Professor Tyndall took occa-
sion indirectly to put himself right, or
at least to reply to the charge Of athe-
ism to which his address at Belfast gave
rise some time ago. Il In hisusual inter
esting way he demonstrated the crys-
utilization of atoms and descanted upon
the way atoms build themselves togeth-
er as a play of almost as wonderful AZ
the play of vitality itself. He added !:
I'VE are surrounded by wonders and
mysteries everywhere. have some
times-not sometimes, but often-in
the springtide watched the advance Of
the sprouting leaves, and OF the grass,

thought will never answer the question
by protesting the creed of atheism,
which has been so lately attributed e
me.
II am afraid that many OF the fear
that are entertained on these subjects
really have their roots In kind of skcp
ticism. It is not always those who are
charged with skepticism that are the
real skeptics--and I confess 1t is mat
ter Of some grief to me to see able, use

hands over the threatened destruction
Of their ideals. Iwould say, If I dared

east out this skepticism, for this feal
has its root In skepticism. In the hu

What Does this Mean ?


1t Is noteworthy, that all the frauds,
thus Far discovered, originated with the
Ring followers, and were perpetrated in
the Interest OF that interruptions faction.
Wherever = Democrat participated, it
was not in the interest OF the party OF
which he protested TO be O member, but
in the inte.eat of the Ring. The man
v no debauches the ballot, for the purpose
Of bene6tting his own party, 10 without
excuse; but he who sells himself to Rnoth-
ar party, thus, not only perjuring himself
before the law, but sbamefully betraying
the trust reposed in him, is doubly guilty.
1t iato such hirelings as these that the
Democratic party owes its defeat In this
city FOR years past They have sold ~
out again and again. But, while they
have thus infamously wronged the pertJ
: and people, they sae far less guilty than
some Of the protested Democratic lead,
ers. at whose instigation these yillainiei
were perpetrnted. We speak plainly
and mean precisely what we say. These
minor traitors have been only the phani
tools Of the bigger ones, who have beer
playinQ into the hands Of the Ring, ant
have shared its unrighteous spoils. w
speak advisedly, and know to anahsolut
certainty that of all the enemies wit
which the Democratic party Of Philadel
phia has had to contend for years pas!
none have been SO insidious, 50 yena
and 80 potent, as these sef-styled leac
ers.
We most sincerely hope that ever
Democrat connected with these fraud
will make a clean breast Of it, and di
close the names Of the men by whoi
they were corrupted. We know thu
there are prominent ones, who, to-da
are trembling for fear of such revel
tions. Unless justice is again thwarte
their trembling will not be without goS
and sufficient cause.
