From the New York Tribune.

In the race for seats at Washington the
legal profession has generally the inside
track, but the home legislative bodies
contain better proportion of other
classes Of the community. The honest
farmer, the village doctor, or m occa-
sional clergyman, in his rural simplici-
", deems II an honor 10 be permitted
to write Honorable" before his name,
and is allowed the privilege, In some
remote districts where tho caucus is us
exemplary in It's deliberations as pray
er meeting, they rotate In Legislative
duty; and when they say, "It's Squire
So-and- Sos turn this year." that settles
it as effectually as if all the known de-
vices OF politics had been brought into
play in procuring the nomination. In
Delaware, which has the reputation Of
being quiet and sober little common
wealth, the newly elected Legislature
il is said, does not contain u single law
yer, and we dare say that the State will
not go to ruin in the next year or two
because of that fact. After all, the SEN
ale of The United States is the paradise
where lawyers go. Out Of less than
fourscore members about fifty belong
to that bonored class, and very curious
lawyers some of them are. These last
evidently got in there because they had
nothing to do-and they understand
perfectly the srt of doing cl il.

A Good Name.

Among oil the bountics OF this world,
woman can lay claims 10 none except
u good name. This is all she possesses,
all she can offer 10 any man; when this
10 gone, she stands o withered, blasted,
barren fgtree. The man who can
breathe the foul, scorcbing breath OF
scandal upon the fair fame Of woman,
and thus blast her all, is possessed Of o
soul as dark as orobns, or black night,
a heart devoid Of pity. an understand
ing unknown to shame.
II Is considered safe plan for n
young man never to trlno with the af-
fec,ions OF woman who whistles.

II is said that President Grant pcrsis-

will find out beyond controversy how
the people esteem him and his horde OF
relatives and rotainers, who have been
camping In tho public Offices since 1865.
The old war spirit is dying out, and so

After the Secretery finished reading his
report the Rev. Charles Hill addressed
the school upon the subject OF foreign
missions and what the sunday schools
had accomplished towards Christlhaizing
the heather. He said that it was the
boast OF England that the sun never sat
upon Victories dominious, and he was
happy to be able to say that the sun never
sat upon the Methodist missions.
After these remarks, Miss Maggie
Hayes sang "send Me-" for which she
deserves great praise.
The Rev. Mr.. Chatham then addressed
the school upon the subject Of the boys

cession very appropriate passages OF
Scripture. After they had finished
wreaths of flowers were entwined around
the cross, and immortal placed upon II
