ORIGIN OF THE TERM "PRINTER'S
DGv1L.-Whcn Aldus Nautilus set
up in business as 4 printer in Venice,
he came into possession of little ne
gro boy. This boy was soon known
all over the city as "thc little black
devil" for at that time, negroes were
not often seen in Venice, and some Of
the most ignorant people believed him
to be either an embodiment or All emil
sary Of Satan, who aided Aldus in the
work Of his profession. One day,

strange andSpreading opinion, display

The Polytechnic School.

As the subscription list will be ready
this week, the people Of the State are here
by appealed to, with hope that they will
lend aid to this enterprise only so far as
they are able and willing. No one is eX-
pected TO contribute a large amount. But
all are entreated TO subscribe for a little
stock, and thus help to advance the interest
of an institution designed for instructing
and harmonizing our whole people. Every
share subscribed for will greatly help, and,
indeed, five dollar subscription will be
gladly received.
The extracts which through the eUer
geddg press have been brought before YOU,
will lead to a fair understanding of the
principal objects Of the enterprise, Though
until YOU and your neighbOrs become in
terested, the most valuable suggestions
can not originate, as such can only result
from continued conversation amongst many
persons.
II being known TO many of Won that /
am not native TenneSseean. consider il
prudent to offer as an excuse for the interest
l have manifested in this affair (Which
promises results of vast importance to the
State), that nv services would be as will
lingly rendered to any other section of the
country. showing a desire 10 establish
system for developing the brain anu muscle
of its people-(nOt that l put any great
stress upon my Own abilities to render as
sistance in such matters, farther than to
point out the necessity for improvement, in
the course of training the young men Of our
country)-and in this l shall never cOnfine
myself within the boundaries Of any State.
In conclusion permit me to state that my
arrangement with the present Board of Di-
reetofs, expires on the 18th day Of March,
unless the results of my eXertions are very
fiattering; therefore let me urge you to sub
scribe without delay. The money will not
be called for before April, even though the
first S75. 900 are subscribed before that time.
Hoping for your hearty cooperation, and
the continued assistance Of the press,
am, very respectfully yours,

eial debate.

dilatory motions, and a call of the yeas and
nays, Mr.. Hawley withdrew his motion
that Mr.. Roberts might be put, and imme
diately the yeas and nays were demanded
on the latter. a
Then followed a motion to adjourn, but
before that was disposed of, Mr.. Denning
presented petition of the Archbishop of
Cincinnati, Gov. Moves and other leading

Az ECONOMICAL WIFE.

The following letter from Lady Comp
ton to her husband, Lord Compton, af-
terward Earl Of Northampton, written
in the year 1910. the eighth year of
James l., shows that our grandmoth-
ers were not SO sparing of their hus-
bands purses, after all, as some would
have us think them:
"My Sweet Life-Now l have de-
clared to you my mind for the settling of
your state, i suppose that it were best
for me TO bethink and consider within
myself what allowance were meetest
for me. 1 pray and beseech you to
grant to me, your most kind and loving
wife, the sum Of 92600 (S13,0O0), quar-
terly to be paid. Also, would, besides
that allowance, have $500 (S3000), quar-
terly to be paid, for the performance of
charitable works; and those things |
would not, neither Will, be accountable
for. Also, / viii have three horses for
my own saddle, that none shall dare to
lend or borrow: none lend but i, none
borrow but you. Also, l would have
two gentlewOmen, lest one should be
sick, or have some other let. Also, be-
lieve it, 1t is an indecent thing for a
gentlewoman to stand humping alone,
when God hath blessed their lord and
lady with great estate. Also, when l
ride hunting, or a hawking, or travel
from house TO another. I viii have them
attending; so, for either of those said
women, must and Will have for either
of them a horse. Also, l Will
have six or eight gentlemen; and 1 will
have my two coaches, one lined with
velvet to myself, with four very fair
horses; and a coach for my women,
lined with cloth, and laced with gold,
otherwise with scarlet. and laced with
silver, with four good horses. Also, l
will have two coachmen-one for my
own coach, the other for my women.
Also, for that it is indecent to crowd
up myself with my gentleman usher in
my coach, I will have him to have a
convenient horse to attend me, either
in city or country. And l must have
two fcotmen. And my desire is that
you defray all the charges for me-
And for myself, besides my yearly
allowance, l would have twenty gowns
of apparel, six of them excellent good
Cnes, eight.of them for hecountry, and
SIX of them very excellent good ones.
Also, / would have to put In my purse
$4,000 100000, and you to pay my
debts. l would have 5000 $3.50, 600 to
buy me jewels, and f4000 (S20,000) to
buy me a pearl chain.
''Now, seeing l have been, and am SO
reasonable unto you, pray you do find
my children apparel, and theirsehooling,
and all my servants their wages Also,
1 will have all my houses furnished. and
my lodging chambers to be suited with
all such furniture as is fit, as beds,
stools, chairs, cushions, caskets. silver
warming pans, cupboards of plate, fair
hangings, and such ike.
$50 now that l have declared to you
what l would have, and what it is that
l would not have, l pray you, when you
be an earl, to allow me f2000 $4,000
more than l now desire, and double at

FRONTIER TROUBLES.
GoodIndIans and Fad.


CHEYENNE, Wyoming, Feb. 2S-The set
tiers in Soup Valley, Nebraska, apply to
Gen. Ord for protection against the Indians
who are becoming very troublesome. 9th
erwise they will be compelled to leave
their homes, some already having left.
Further advices from the Red Cloud Aeen-
CIV, shows that the number of heretofore re-
ported good Indians is growing less day by
day and that the search for bad ones by
troops leaving fort Laramie early next
week viii be successful.
Unsettled and unsatisfactory.
OMAHA, Feb. 2S.-An official telegram
received here to-day from Fort Laramie
says the condition of Indian affairs is un-
settled and unsatisfactory at the Agencies.
The good Indians seem to have been cor
rupted and are leaving for the North to
join the hostile bands. 1t is reported the
beef contractor has stopped the supply Of
beef, being afraid TO drive cattle through
the reservation. There seems to be no
doubt but that the column OF troops now at
Fort Laramie will enter the reservation
from that point, and it is thought they will
meet with some opposition. No trouble
with the Indians is at all probable south Of
the Platte in Wyoming territOrity. Neb-
raska is too far removed to be thought Of
in connection with the Indians. There is
not one in the State but what is peaceable.

to one cent per bushel; also bill giving
the st. CrOiX land grant to the North Wis

roads; also Mr.. Potter's bill to regulate the
rates of passenger and freight traffic by

1881, sSS g sz7,O22 Sc
| saw il stated in your paper last week
that the expenses of st. Mary's Orphan
Asylum, near this city, range from $1,000
20 $1,000 year, while the number of chill
dren averages 20 to so. At the lowest
figure this would show that these children
are fed, clothed and educated at an ex-
pense of one dollar week each. The
higher figure would make it Sl.50. This,
mind YOU, without allowing one cent for
salaries. As a matter of fact, no salaries
are paid, unless il be to a gardener for
raising ON the place vegetables which pay
his wages many times over. The good Sis
tiers receive no salaries, nothing but food
and clothes and grave when their life
work is done.
The st. Vincent De Paul Society, men
toned above in the HerGIds list, also ex-
lists in this city. The members are required
to personally visit the poor they relieve.
In this way they guard against imposition,
and at the same time give encouraging
words, advice, assistance in obtaining work
for boys, etc. The labors of this society
are limited by the small number of men,
bers who can give their time gratuitOusly,
and by the donations at their command.
Unable to occupy the whole field, they nat
Ilrally pay first attention to those of their
own faith. But isn't there room in Nash
vile for many other such volunteer Organi-
cations for the relief of our poor? Some
thing like the Robertson Association is
needed here III winter as we'll as summer
in panics as well as pestilence. l have
often seen it stated in your journal that the
Jews take care of their own poor. The
st. Vincent Society is doing much for the
Catholic poor. But what is to become of
the rest?
Your quotation from the Chicago Tri-
blme about the deplOrable effects of the
English poor laws in prOpaGating pauper-
ism, are suggestive. ''The State formally
assumed charge Of the extremely poor un-
der Henry VIII. and Elizabeth" and the
State system has become an intolerable
nuisance. But who took care of these poor
before the State took charge? 1t was Just
such brOtIerhOOds as that of st. Vincent
de Paul and such religious bodies, male
and female, as the Sisters of our st. Mary's
Asylum, who shrank not from the peSti-
lence last summer, but went from
hOyel to hOvel doing good. In ''merrie
old England Catholics were wont to turn
over their charities for distribution by the
old religious monks and nuns, whom the
Great Harry turned out en- maSse as cum
berers Of the ground. True, they were not
mOney-seiters, but for all that they were
useful members of society. Sworn to pow
erty themselves, they visited the poor in
person, and saw that the charities of chris
tians were not misplaced. We have made
immeRe progress in some things since that
day, but have We improved any in the
modes of fulfilling our christian duty to
poor and afflicted humanity?

A Unanimous Verdict.

SAN Francisco, Feb. z5.-The grand
jury this afternoon reported on the case of
Mayor Otis and Treasurer Hubert. They
say, after the most earnest and careful ex-
animation, they are unanimous in the con-
clUSOn that there was nothing in the con-
duc of the parties which would entitle
them even 10 censure. They the Treasu-
rer was guilty of a treble violation of law,
but there was no criminal intent, and fur
ther, that Otis had never advised, connived
at or consented TO a violation of law, nor
otherwise abetted any OfienSe which would
entitle him 10 the very pointed charge of
the County Judge to the grand jury.
