Bows ana girls Together.

Marital happiness has come near to perishing
utterly out of the world through misapprehen.
sion of the relation of the sexes and it is for the
properly training her boys to love and protect
their sisters, and for sisters to be unselishly
loyal to their brothers. 1t ia as much q mother 3
duty to train her son to be good husband as
her daughter to be good wife, and no hearth
is the paradise 1t might be II there are in 1t con-
Hicting opinions in regard to the natural duties
OF husband and wife. To begin when the boy
and girl are first able to express their prefer
enoes and their pleasures, and also the might
makes-right opinions, which the lower nature
always endeavors to fetch early to the surface, is
the only safe time and plan for the mother, if
she expects to perfect the characters of her chill
dren. The boy should be taught respectful con-
sideration and proper relinquishing
of his personal comfort for the sake Of
his sister, and the reason for this small
sacrifice should always be given to
him. He should be instructed that 1t is noble
and many, and that there is pleasure in even
little everyday heroisms and that the strong
est must be gentle and helpful to the weaker,
or they will loes the honor and glory OF seeming
to possess power. The little girl should be en-
couraged in her natural tenderness and its pret-
ty Manifestations to her brothers. She is hap
pier in their strength than in a consciousness OF
being endowed with 1t herself. And yet she
need not be instructed that she has no force OF
character. When she must help or protect b er-
self, she should know that she has reserved
forces that are always to be in waiting for the
time of necessity. In the family circle the
mother is constantly in possession of opportu-
mites for bringing out and perfectng the manli
ness of her boys and the womsnliness of her girls
and she oan and ought to commence this in-
struction Just as soon rs they can understand

The Teachers Institute at Dover, last week
appears to have been, like the one at Middle
town, very decided success, as an interesting
resume of the proceedings which we print else
where, sufficiently indicates. We are encouraged
in the conviction that the work Of public educa-
ton is now making fair progress, and that there
is an awakening interest and spirit amongst
those engaged in it. 1t may be said, doubtless,
that these evidences Of growth and development
will be regarded with general pleasure by the
people, who are probably ready to assume the
risk of public education being ultimately public
injury.

The case Of Charles o 'Conor is very singu-
lar one, and az hs remarked with grim humor, on
Sunday, g. it seems to be quite interesting to you
medical men, but it's not at all SO to me-" The
doctors pronounce his stomach absolutely W orn
out, and refusing to perform its natural func-
tions, but yet, since this condition WAS reached,
he has lived some two or three weeks, and from
day to day, eats OF various articles of food which
his palate seems to crave. Sunday he ate
pear; yesterday he expressed desire for some
caulifower, which was procured from belmont
cos. He seemed, during yesterday, much brgh-
ter and better yet those familiar with the case
say that in spite of these apparently favorable
symptoms there is no evidence that the stomach
has resumed its functions, and that death must
inevitably ensue after the tissue OF the patient
has been absorbed.

We should suppose that Senator Bayard
would not have much thanks to bestow on the
Gazstte and other Democratic newspapers, which
hasten to deny . statement in the New York
Sun, charging him with having been in Mont
gomery, Alabama, in 1861, consulting with the
chiefs of the rebellion, and debating in bis own
mind whether to join them or not They agree
in rspelling the charge, with apparent warmth,
and Say that "the present Senator Bayard" WAS
never in Montgomery in his life, and from 1850
to the close of the war, WAS not south Of WASH
ington. The fact is.-as many Of our readers
hardly need to be told-that while tit WAS rot
''the present Senator Bayard" who went to
Montgomery, it was his father, Hon. James A.
Bayard. II the Democratic papers are so recent
full Of the charge Is applied to the son, they
thereby only.throw inferential blame upon the
parent. What "the present Senator's" feelings
were toward lhe Rebellion might become an in.
terestng question, too, the facts in relation to
the Delaware militia of 1861, and Senator Bay.

Mr.. Henderson's stump speech to the Avery
jury, going out Of his way to assail the Pres-
dent, in three distinct illusions, is generally
condemned, except by those who are bent upon
misrepresenting and abusing President Grant,
and who systematically distort everything so as
to put him unfairly before the people. The
Gazette, We observe, eagerly joins in this, and
goes to the length of insisting that "the
President is on trial" That its own IDEAS how
ever, are as crooked as the Rings whskey, may
be fairly inferred from the following paragraph
in its article on the subject
:" Grant and every high officer who has oc-
cupied the position in the Interior Department
that brought them in connection with the
'Whskey Ring is on trial The conduct of
that officer is on trial"
Can anybody straighten this out, and make
it anything but nonsense?

The National Bureau Of Education has just
published an interesting and timely circular, q
pamphlet Of 1870 pages, presenting "The Con-
stitutional Provisions in regard to Education, in
the several States" The greatly awakened in.
terest in all educational subjects, and especially
with reference to the proposition of fixing .
school guaranty in the national constitution, will
make it very welcome circular. Some of the
States make elaborate provision. for an educa-
tional system in their constitution, and Others
allude to it briefly or not at all. In the oonsti
tution Of this State, the only reference to the
subject is contained in this paragraph
The Legislature shall, as soon as convent
emily may be, provide by law, for
establishing schools and promoting arts and sci
ences."
This was first placed in the Constitution Of
1792, As section IL of article VIII and WAS con
tinued in the present one, of 1882.

The CnrdinaIate.

The delegates from the Holy Father bearing
the appointment Of Cardinal McCloskey and
the berrettd, which signifies that honor, arrived
in New York yesterday. They were met in
the bay by the Committee Of Reception, and
Mgr. Roncetti replied eloquently to the adj
dress of welcome, after which the distin-
glished visitors were escorted to the house Of
the Cardinal, where brief speeches were made
by His Eminence and Mr.. Charles O'Conor.
Elsewhere we give the particulars Of these
interesting proceedings, with sketches Of Mgr.
Roncetti, DR.. Ubaldi and Count Marefoschi.
Some days viii pass before the formal in
vestiturc of the new Cardinal, and
it is not known what ceremonies will
be adopted in the way Of presenting the
berTetta to His Eminence. The whole ques-
ton is 50 novel that we presume the authori-
ties Of the Catholic Church in New York viii
be compelled to make precedents instead Of
following them. 1t is still uncertain what
will be done about the black horses. The
committee Of Irish Catholic gentlemen are
still busily engaged in endeayoring to find a
pair worthy in al respects 70 draw the coach
Of prince Of the Roman Church. In few
days. however, We presume the whole matter
will be settled, and We shall see then the most
extraordinary ceremonies ever seen in the

One more of the lingering mementoes Of
another time has just passed away in the per-
son of Judge Roosevelt. Seventy-nine is not
a very great age; neither did the face or
figure so familiar for q generation to city
people indicate in any peculiar degree the
ravages of time; yet the contrasts with the
present suggested by the merest memorandum
of the events of his life act unconsciously on
the mind in moving him further and further
into the past until we find ourselves almost
fancying him man of century since. He
lived in time when gentlemen were candi-
dates for Aldermen, time of which the gen.
eral public has little or no knowledge. He
lived before the deluge of municipal democ-
racy came down upon us with such fury as to
sweep away from the public all the advantage
of the possession of liberal laws but the
deluge was SO active that his not remark
ably long life stretched over to the
time when the public began to be
encouraged with the hope that the waters
were likely to subside. In the earlier times
we had healthier conceptions of republicauism
and democracy. All were equal in politics;
so that man of honorable descent and aristo-
cratic family was at least as good as a rough.
But we got over that, and the time came
when equality" assumed its levelling point
from the lowest grade, and when the en-
deavor to put man of such class rs the men
with Knickerbockcr names into Office was re-
scented as an attempt upon the reserved rights
Of "the honest masses the honest masses
being in this case the name assumed by the
swindling rogues, many of whom are now in
prison or in exile. 1t seems, therefore, tc
give Judge Roosevelt an age much greater
than that to which he really attained to re-
member that with his name and family associa-
tons he was once q foremost man in our
local politics. No better wish can be INDUCED
over the old Knickerbocker's coffin than that
the time may be again upon us when men Of
equal social value and instructed talent, of
equal uprightness and purity in their concep-
tons of the true meaning Of democracy, may
make themselves felt in the government of the
city whose prosperity and welfare he 50
greatly desired.
