ANOTHER GREAT PHI1ANrnnop1sr. Mr..
Willard Carpenter, of Evansville, Ind.
has decided upon step which will place
him among the great philanthropists of
the world. he announces that he will
give $1,000, 600 to found free college
for poor students, clothing, tuition and
food to be furnished for nothing. Pro
vision is made for tho support of n
faculty of instructors, and tho whole
fund is to bo placed in the hands of ten
trustees. five of whom shall be residents
Of Of Indiana and five of adjoining States.
Dir. Carpenter has not quite completed
his plnn, but he hopes to witness the be-
ginning of the enterprise before his

Perhaps, after all, we have to rely on
the fashionable dress-makcrs to deal the
death-blow to polygnmy. A Salt Lake
City correspondent snys that one of the
chief causes of dissatisfaction in Nor
mondom il the introduction of fnshiona-
able dress-mnking and tho consequent
creation of taste among the Mormon
women for finery. They have disco
vered that where q man has half dozen
wives, it is impossible for him to foot nll
the millinery and dress-making bills,
and consequently number of the ambi-
tlous have become warm advocates of
m"nosamy, as they perceive such state
enables them to crafty the dress pro-
pensity. Very few of the Mormons are
able to pay for the fashionable costum-
ing OF tivo or ten wives. Before bustles
md other paraphernalia were intro
auced' the saints had an easy time. MS
their wives dressed in the coarsest me-
terial. Let Utah be colonized by fn-
shionable dress-makers, by oil means.

CONSCIENTIOUS JoURNAL1sM.-It ia n
conceded fact :hat the press exercises a
potent influence i'll guiding md control
ing public sentiment. It should, there
fore, be governed Ivy fixed principles,
the most important of which is q consci-
entious adherence to truth. As it is con-
iessedly I'M engine Of great power, its in
fiuence will he either salutary OF banefll,
according to the tone, matter and cha
racter of its articles. In our Judgment,
truly says the Seneca Falls Rereihe, the
press should bo conservator of good
morals, and not prostitute it's proper
functions by pandering to n vitiatei tnsto
IN publishing articles of n sensational
character, which have no foundation in
fact, for the purpose of notoricty. Such
popularity will have q mere cphemcral
existence, and will be certain to meet
with n proper retribution in the loss of
confidence. To maintain proper re-
spectnbiiity, the press should not be per
verted to lBnoblc purposes, and be made
the vehicle of scandal or mischievous
gossip. It's usefulness will be commen-
surate with it's high and elevated tone,
and the exclusion of all matter which is
of dubious character or offensive to de-
cency or good morals. It should nppre-
ciNte the responsibility of its position,
and like faithful sentinel on q watch
tower, guard every avenue or portal in
its domain, warn against impending dan
ger, supervise with scrupulous fidelity
the material interests of all who have
confidcd to it the sacred trust. Tho
proper Office of the press is not only to
disseminate news and to entertain, but
to instruct and to inculcate lessons of
practical vnlue. 1t embraces within its
Jurisdiction every phase of society, the
rights and interests of which should not
DO ignored nor disregarded. It should
be the aim and purpose of all editors to
make their journals eminently useful in
the advancement of all objects tending
to the public good. In striving to attain
this end, they will adorn their profess
sion and receive tho plnudits of u CRATE
full people.

Some little excitement has been ere

public profession of faith in Christ in Oc-

eighteen years of her life, confined a great
part of the time to her bed. ''Affliction
cometh not forth of the dust. neither
doth trouble spring out of the ground"
During her long period of trial and suf-
fering, she was enabled to consider those
important truths and contemplate those
prospects connected with future state.
She had learned by grace and experience
the unsatisfying nature of all things
earthly. From her testimony, in view of
approaching dissolution, she hoped,
through the merits of an all-sulficient Re-
deemer to attain to that eternal home.

Acrostic.

Mid all of life's transient, ficcting pleas
ures,
In all are found, but few true, real treas
ures
Some are genuine, but most are only
seeming,
Soon to cast off, as false in their gleam-
ing.
Round you are entwined in life's early
morning,
Only bright roses of innocence and faith
adjoining,
Such claims and loneliness, as queen
might deem blest,
Always to retain, if with the same quiet
rest.
Happy have 1 been, when in my day
dreams
A:companion I've had atown Loves pear
ly streams,
Memory speeds back with willing feet and
greeting.
In turn the forms that are but seen and
fleeting.
Like bright seraphines, who come on the
lone starless night,
Then as quickly vanish, casting DER the
heart a gloom and blight.
Oh may times effacing fingers cause to
depart,
None of thy sweet graces from the tablet
of my heart,
A FRIEND.

Mr.. Editor Tho school of Miss
Fannie Burke closed on the 18th
inst, and her examination OF her
pupils, in the presence of their pa
rents and quite number OF visiting
friends, was eminently satisfactory
to them; and creditable to their
teacher. The writer is not inform
ed as to the grade of Miss Fannle's
school, but Judging from the skill
and qualifications of the teacher and
the advancement of the pupils, some
of whom are young men and ladies,
high up in the teens it is, or ought
to be, first class. The patrons of
the school are certainly fortunate
in having obtained an instructress
for their children who is SO amply
competent and qualified, and is to
the "manor born" and they should
by all means make every effort to
secure her services as long as she Is
willing to teach, as she is a most
estimable young lady, and has been
reared among them and has the
love, confidence and respect of the
whole school.
The final exhibition at night. The
declamations of Masters Walter
Wallace, Jr., WilIio Wallace, Willie
Doyle and Frank Vincent were de-
livered in a style which showed
that they had been carefully in
structed in elocution. The origi-
nal essays of Misses Carry and Jea.
ME B. and Miss Lou Barnett, were
written beautifully and read by
them with considerable power of
eIocution. L" What I Lore" was de-
claimed by all the smaller boys and
girls. When they advance in years
and other loves begins to steal into
their hearts may their dreams, be
as rosy and bright as they are now.
The charades, ten in number
were got up in excellent style, and
performed admirably, under the
combined management of Mrs. D.
II. Wallace and Miss Fannie Burke.
When all acted their several parts
SO we'll it would probably be best
not to personate any, but Misses
Jeanie and Susie, and Master Joe
Burke, Misses II. and G. Bennett,
Master Walter Wallace, Jr.,
Mr.. w. Nc, Mr.. E. G, Mr.. II. and
Miss NJ. E., acted conspicuously well,
The tableaux scenes were splendid,
in which the little :boys and girls
acted. Mr.. II. Barnett delivered a
short valedictory address in a style
which gave promise of future
Clay.
There was quite large crowd at
night to witness the performances
and Judging from their applause,
they were highly entertained. L
don't think the exhibition as a
whole can be surpassed by any
school in this, or any county in the
state. REMLAP.
