INSANE HOsplTAL.- The Commis-
sioners of the Insane Hospital at Warreu
opened bids for the erection OF the Hos
pital building, at Harrisburg on the
18th instant. After a full and careful
deliberatiou and examination they de-
cided that they can DO the work and
procure tho materials needed at a less
cost to ths Commonwealth than the bids
received. Consequently they rejected
the bids as they have right to do un-
der the act OF Assembly. Il hey will
Low 90 on with the work themselves as
rapidly as they find it convenient, under
their efficient Superintendent of con-
struction, Mr.. Sunderland, who lives OF
the place. We understand it is the in-
tention of the Commissioners to erect a
fire proof building in the most approved
manuer so as to be an ornament to the
State and satisfaction to all who may
be interested in it. In doing SO they
will eudeavor to save the Commonwealth
all they can in the purchase of material
and in Il e construction OF the building.
At present they have about 70 men and
a dozen horses and carts making the ex.
cavation. They find the best of gravel
and building sand where they dig for
the foundations. The Dunkirk Rail
road Company have run switch down
to point near the building on which
coal, lumber, stone, &c, can be easily re-
ceived. Mr.. Sunderland is also erect.

THE Conference Committee (the Sec
ond one) on the Finance bill has at last
framed a measure which will undoubte-
dly meet the approval OF the President,
if it does that of Congress. AS regards
expansion or contraction it leaves mat
ters as they are. The bill limits the
amount OF greebacks outstanding to
$3S2,0O0,00O, the sum now In circula-
tion. 1t also provides that S55,OOO,-
900 of national bank notes are to be
Withdrawn from States having an excess
of such notes, as application is made
from other States, and awarded to the
latter; provided that not over thirty
millions be Withdrawn during the fiscal
year ending June 30, 1875. This bill
is a substantial Endorsement OF Presi'
dent Grants position; that is to leave
things as they are and let Congrossmer
take the pulse of their constituents as te
what financial legislation is needed

BUSINESS MEMS VICToRY.-The
Oregon newspapers regard the recent
election as "a business mems victory"
1t seems that on the occasion OF the
election the business men of all parties
united in an agreement to close their
place of business ana go to the polls.
So new element made its appearance,
and there was "the absence OF the open
and notorious bribery which character
lied elections for some years" The re-
suit was the business mems triumph
when honest men who earn money and
pay taxes really take an interest in the
men who are to superintend their
affairs and apply the taxes.

A BLESSING IN DIsGUIsE.-A New
England philosopher has discovered
that the dull times are blessing in
disguise, because "there is probably no
other way of checking the feverish in
tensity Of American business life, AID
compelling the busy workers to take it
easy, than by just such an experience OF
dull times as we are now going through" "
1t is always well, says the Philadelphia
Ledger, TO look on the bright side of
every vicissitude of lite. Most Ameri-
can workers take less time for recreation
than is good for them, but few, except
those of the "Micawler" class can find
much of blessing in dull times Such
men may wait for something to "turn
up" but the great majority of merchants
and mechanics will be trying to turn it
up themselves. Moreover, there are
thousands upon thousands of work,rs to
whom work is necessity: They will
find no blessing in dull times. If dull
times could possibly make "a real vaca-
ton to be ,akcu up in the holiday
spirit" by workers generally, they might
prove to be blessing, but the poor can
not afford long vacations, whether en-
forced or voluntary.
