Our CHARITIES are again described in the
HERALD this morning, and especially with
reference to the manner in which the moneys
are disbursed. The entire community is
interested in the operations of these societies,
and will closely scrutinize any extravaganza
or unnecessary expenditure. Salaries, of
course, must be paid, and $4,5OO,OOO can
hardly be distributed without considerable
expenses, yet they should not be excessive.

The European journals recently report a
very atrocious murder as having occurred
in compartment of a railway car. Be-
fore this, there have been many cases of
robbery reported nor is the present in
stance the first in which life has been tax en-
under similar circumstances. The real
wonder is that there have not been more
of these occurrences, If there be anything
which would seem to be expressly calcu-
lated to afford facilities for robbery, or
murder, it is the compartment system of
European cars. One shows his ticket upon
entering one of them, and is then lock ed
in. No official will enter the car during
his journey and there are no means of
communicating with the guard save by
lowering window, and pulling bell
cord which runs somewhere along the out
side of the coach A man going, say from
Liverpool to London, might be assassipat-
ed before leaving the limits of the former
city, and the deed not discovered until the
arrival of the train in the latter city. No
brakeman, orlamplighter, or or conductor ever
enters an apartment; aud, hence, a rnbber
| or an assassin has many chances in favor of
his escaping detection. This compartment
system is the result of the desire oa the
part of aristocratic people to escape con-
tact with the democratic element and,
while it answers this purpose admirably,
it answers no other which has reference to
the convenience, comfort, or safety of the
passenger. In the matter of commodious,
| comfortable, safe railway cars, the old
| world is at least half a century behind the
new.

How Oysters are Born.

Our bivalve, however, does not spawn
after the manner of mollusks generally. 1t
is in it's own way viviparous. 1t does emit
eggs but, at the proper time, sends forth
from the ovaries and committed to the
nursing care of the gill and mantel. AT
first each egg seems to be enclosed in a
capsule. 1t is of yellowish color but,
as incubation or development progresses,
the color changes, first to gray, then to a
brown, afterwards to violet. This is a
sign that the time of eviction is at hand
for nature now issues her writ to that ef-
feet. And wonderful little beings they are
when the writ arrives to vacate the home
stead for whole troops of them can go
gracefully, and without jostlibg, through
the maziest evolutions in that finest sphere
"A drop of water. As cited by +. w.
Fellowes, in the american Naturalist, says
Mr.. Davaine "Nothing is more curious
than to see, under the microscope, these
little mollusks travel in drop of water,
in vast numbers, mutually avoiding one
another, crossing each others track in
every direction with a wonderful rapidity,
never touching and never meeting.'' The
parent oyster has, indeed, prodigious
family to turn out upon the world. But
when the time does come, though wiuter
be near, her actions are summary. and the
wee BARNS are every one ordered from
home. They are spit forth, or elected from
the shell. Filled with water, the valves
are suddenly snapped together. Every
snap emits small, whitish cloud. Though
little of the milky fluid be in it, this
whitish cloud is composed chiefly of the
tiny fry, for individually they are almost
invisible. Indeed. who shall count the
oysters offspring? Science, by her own
methods, has made the computation, aud
SO she gives us the astounding assurance
that a single oyster during one spawning
season emits 100000 embryos !-Profes-
sor Lockwood, in Popular Science Monthly
for December.

REPUTATION AND CHARACTER.-Reputa ta-
tion is what n person is accounted to be by
others character consists in what he real
ly is.
A great many defalcations have come to
light lately in business houses, as the re-
cords of the police courts and bankruptcy
court show. The defaulters in every in-
stance, are spoken of as persons of good
standing. OF course they necessarily must
have been such, or they would not have
been entrusted with such large amounts of
money. Beggers, paapers, and vagabon6s
have no opportunity to become heavy de-
faulters. On the contrary, defaulters are
men of comely exterior lives men who
dress decentIy we'll who attend church !;
who maintain o good outside show in their
way of living. They enjoy a fair reputation.
Yet how different, from all these appear
ances, is their real character When they
look at themselves, they behold a sight
quite unlike what they seem to be to the
eyes of the community.
A character which cannot sternly stand
the test of stlict and searching self exam
ination is not good character. If young
men begin life with the daily nabit of re-
viewing their own conduct, and resolutely
changing it whenever it fails to square
with the strictess standard of distinguishing
between right and wrong, they will never
become defaulters. They Will prove equal
to any trust which may be reposed in them,
because they will be guided by a compass
equally we'll adapted to smooth seas or
rough, and which, under all circumstances,
points towards a sure and safe harbor.
The morning star and Catholic messenger., 1874-12-27

1t is an unspeakable relief to come upon
branch of the public service which ia
conducted with knowledge and honesty.
On this account there will be few more in
teresting reports published this year than
that of the Light-Hous Board of the
United States. Twenty five years ago the
condition of our coast in respect to- light
houses was disgraceful. 1t is now admir-
able, and it is improving every year until
we may expect in twenty years more, or
less. to have the American coast as fully
protected by beacons as the coast of Eng
land or France is now. When we consider
what the Lighthouse Board calls to our
notice, that we have on both oceans q
coast Of 6,50O miles, besides the shores of
the Northern lakes. it will be seen what a
great feat this is. 1t will have been ac-
complished, and great part of it has al
ready been accomplished, by the skillful
service of the Light t-House Board, which
has always had corps of able and faithful
men selected from among the educated
officers of both services. The recent tour
of inspection undertaken by Major Elliott
is only the latest of long series of like
researches which have been worth in the
saving of life and property thousands of
times more than they have cost.
