The Ohio constitutional convention
has voted down an amendment en-
bodying the scheme of compulsory ed
ucation. While the advantages of ed
ucation are universally admitted and
the evils of neglecting it can not be
denied, there is a general aversion in
this country to such legislation as
would be required to carry out any
plan for compulsory education which
has vet been devised.

TIE DISTRICT IN CONGRESS.

At the meeting of the House Committee on the
District Eessrs E. F. Simpson and B. H. StIne-
metz, a committee from the Foundry NJ. E. church,
appeared in the interest of bill giving the trus-
tees Of that church the power to sell q parcel of
ground now in its possession. The bill was subse-
quently referred to Messfs. Hendee Pelham and
Clark. 1t Is understood that they will amend 1t
80 as to establish all the safeguards necessary,
and then report It favorably to the whole commit
tee. Tho bill in relation to tho National Gas and
Iron Company was referred to q subcommittee
consisting Of Messrs Harmer, Cotton Eldred9e
and Leach. The bill to incorporate the Washing
ton City and Atlantic Coast railroad, and several
other bills and memorials, we're referred to cub
committees for examination. The bill authoriz.
ing the Baltimore and Ohio railroad to construct
q lateral branch road from the Washington line
Of the main road to the Metropolitan branch was
laid aside FOR the present, as the subcommittee,
with the exception Of Judge Rice, had not fully
examined Its provisions. The gentleman named
however, stated that the bill should pass.
Mr.. Pelham, from the subcommittee to whom
was referred the bill providing for the purchase
of the Industrial Home School buildings in
Georgetown, gave notice that they were opposed
to Its passage. But, as Mr.. Barnum had sug-
gested that provision be made for the purct ase Of
q farm near Washington, the matter was again
recommIttod.
The subcommittee, designated to hear the gen.
tlemen interested in the bill fOrbidding the sale
OF liquors In the District, have appointed to-mor-
row as the day for arguments. It was desired
that the full committee be present; but as the
District day" In the House occurs next Friday,
It was not possible to use the session next Thurs
day for this purpose. The clergy interested vsre
averse to q day 50 far distant as the Thursday
and in consequence Saturday was
agreed upon. The members OF the subcommittee
agreed to be present II other public duties did
not compel their absence.

us to regard them as intended to be tho abode Of
life, but not SO yet. Only when the sun has lost
the fourth part of his heat in the Of Mercury
and in the case of Venus one half, will they be
inhabitable. When the sun has lost half Of his
heat, the time will come when Venus will be in
habitable. 1t will then be with her as with US
now. Sc we look forward for millions OF years
when she will be inhabited as this Garth is. 1t

ton to the great benefit Of the clear atmosphere
of America in observing these marks. In Eng
land they say they can watch them and see them
in tho periods of the rotation The large telescope
at Harvard and the other fine ones of Alvin Clark
and others fail to show them. The subject seems
to mo very much If it were an optical dolusion;
that she shines with SO much light that the eye
is deceived. Three other pictures Of Venus will
be shown, indicating on q more correct plan the
delicacy Of these markings. We see some signs
here Of an atmosphere, which is so necessary to
life. There you see tho twilight circle. Here It
becomes moro marked, and you see there is pos
sibilty Of life, 1t defends upon the existence Of
an atmosphere-ProE. Proctor.

HON. HENRY C. JOHNSON.

The nomination by the President of Hon.

Commissioner of Customs, is receiving cor
dial endorsement by the Republican press of
the State, AMI is highly gratifying to Mr..

as a recognition alike of his high abilities for

support Of TIE Republican organization in all
cases where it could ask or expect 1t. Mr..

and has, in every case, acquitted himself hon.

was nominated for Congress in 1868, but al
lowed his desire to promote harmony in his

he withdrew ssiss pane. During the past few
months he has been :s:aoken of frequently in
connection with the Office of E:@H-spant Gov

Congress from his district. Other candidates
can now congratulate themselves that he is ont
of the way.

termed political science, and his ability as a

HOUSE, THIEVES ARRESTED.

Yesterday afternoon Mr.. D. D. Russell, rooming
at No. sos Ninth street northwest, reported at
police headquarters that his room had been en-
tered by thieves and robbed Of quantity OF wear
ing apparel. Detectives Miller and McDevitt
were assigned tho case, and proceeded at once to
the apartments Of the gentleman, where they
found that the thieves had made pretty thor
ough haul, leaving behind an old hat and pair Of
boots, which had been exchanged. The detect
ives thought they recognized the hat as one that
had been worn by one Of a couple Of well-known
sneak and house thieves they had seen only half
an hour previous on Pennsylvania avenue.
They started out in search Of the men, and
soon accosted them, one having the hat and boots
of the gentleman upon him at the time. They
were taken to headquarters and gave their names
as Charles Ice, alias Robert E Lee, and John
Farrell, alias Dick Turpin. There was also found
on the person Of one of them q letter showing he
was in communication with q clique Of thieves
outside of the city, and only desired to make
good stake before joining with them.
They will be taken into Police Court to-day

JOURNALISTIC UTRORSA AND ARTISTS

JOURNALLSTS,AU THORSA AND ARTISTS
A correspondent, writing Of New York society,
says: 1.-THE pleassntest and least formal circle is
made up Of journalists, authors and artists. Very
few If any Of them are rich, and as they are
unable to deceive anybody, were they SO inclined,
by pretending to do what they have not done,
they are not tempted to talk Of money, or. to In
dulge In shams. Each man or woman comes on
his her own merit, regardless of who his father
or his grandfather may have been. At times
there is good deal Of official talk; but journal
Ism, literature and art have wide bearing and
large amount Of interest, the talk is not as prosy
as 1t would be If it concerned stocks, dry goods
or any purely commercial transactions. Such
companies as these are likely to be favored with
ideas and Intellectual conversation, to take the
place Of meaningless small talk and personal
gossip. Persons Of artistic taste and calling have
been more brought together in this city within
two or three years than ever before. At least
dozen houses are points Of reunion, and parties
and receptions are regularly given there every
season. The effect has been very good, and alto
gether pleasant; and the probability Is that from
this time forth new stimulsnts to culture and
thought will be given by this means"

MEMORY OF FACES.

When man has the painters faculty of
recollecting faces, and with 1t quick and re-
tentiye memory Of small facts, the combination
gives him great social power. This was Ma
caulay'scase. BE never forgot the face of q
man whom he had met in society, and with the
face he remembered all the salient facts con-
nected with the owner Of It. Few things are
more hattering to an ordinary mortal than
being thoroughly remembered by great lion
with whom he has perhaps had brief inter-
view several years before. doubt If this fac
ulty exists to any great extent among our pub
lie men; indeed, have often been surprised at
the absence of It. A Russian baron of the true
divine-right school once maintained to me that
this was an effect Of republican institutions, or,
what came TO the same thing, that the oppo-
site was the result Of monarchical institutions
He said that kings and princes were Obliged to
see great many persons, wherefore Providence
had conferred on them various means of being
gracious to those persons, of which prompt
recognition was one.-GalarH
