TIE STATE ORPHANS EoME.-We
learn that then are now as many as As
children IN tie State Orphans Home.
This crowds things SO thai the teacher
has been oblige2 to share her COON with
some of the children, and shfe intirmarv
is used as dorneitory-leav5pg no place
for the sick. in case any sickness should
bappen there. 81 course this influx of
new corners has rendered Necessary the
purchase of additional bed clothing. We
understand that the Board Lave had
some informal talk upon the proposition
to erect new wing on the south side of
the building. We also understood that
there is an ample fund on hand to enable
them to carry this suggestion into execu-
ton. 1t seems to us that there .an be
no question OF the prapriety of neking
this nlarsement-indeed, if the neans
are at hand to do it with, there should
be as little delay as possible in doing so.
The building was built in its present
form SO as to make it convenient to atfix
wings and extensions of the main edi-
fee: the time has come when mere
space is needed; there is money enough
on hand to make the needed enlarge
ments with-then why should the work
not be done?

to address the public. There was a
Senator, as remember. and one or two
famous speakers. and they drew to-

speakers had concluded. and received
their various measures of applause, the
sooty Workingmen present began TO

who began III Il somewhat shy way to
give his views of the political situation.
The crowd evidently knew the value of
their man. and listened breathlcSsly to
his slow, opening sentences. He spoke
with decided English accent. and he

what he said wa> that half->hrewd. half

often finds i'll Scotchmcn. His humor
WAS from the first overtiowiug. break

of the slave before It's. and the great
hearted humanity which pervaded the
whole speech. 1t seemed to me the
