nually expended in the performance OF
these dutiesa sum exceeding TWO ana
half millions of dollars, The people OF
Ohio feel profound interest in what are
known as the benevolent, reformatory
and penal institutions of the state
In order that the General Assembly
might, from time to time, receive full and
accurate information as to the efficiency
of the management of these institutions
and ofthe county and city jails, in6rma-
ries and warehouses;, it was eacted in
1867 that Board of State Charities be
established. 1t was intended that this
board should be composed Of citizens Of
intelligence eand benevolence, who would
serve without compensation. They were
ITO investigate the system OF the public
charitable and correctional institutions
of the state, and to make such recon-
mendations ae they might deem neces-
sary." They were also required to make
annually full and complete report of
their doings to the Legislature. In pur-
suance of this law Board was organ
lied, which at trihing expense to the
state, did much valuable work. by rea-
son of their investigations and reports,
Important improvements were intro
duCe into the iniirmaries and jails OF the
state, and the general efficiency OF our
penal and reformatory system was IN
creased. In 1872 the General Assembly,
without due consideration, it is believed,
repealed the act creating the Board.
respectfully recommended that the
Board of State Charities be reestab-
| lished.
1t is believed that an Investigation in
the interests of economy will discover
that several offices, somewhat expensive
to the state, may, without detriment to
the public service, be either abolished
or so consolidated as o accomplish ma
terial saving to the treasury.
Agreeing generally with the sentl-
ments of Governor Aliens recent mes
sage, desire especially to concurin what
is said on the subject Of the National
Centennial Celebration.
No community in the world has been
permitted by Providence to enjoy more
largely the blessings conferred on man
kind by the great event l776 than the
people of Ohio. Ohio and her interests
had no existence an hundred years ago.
They are the growth Of less then centu-
ry. The people naturally wish that their
State, and her history, and her advanta-
ges should be widely known. No other
such opportunity for their exhibition
will probably occur for several genera
tions.
Let your session be short-avoid all
schemes requiring excessive expendi-
ture, whether state or local, and your
constituents will cheerfully approve the
appropriation required to secure to Ohio
fitting representation in the approach
ing celebration of the nations birth.

A FATHER ATENGES A DAUGH
TER'S WRONGS.

Your readers cannot fail to remember
the famous letter written by M, Alexan-
DIRE Dumas, apropos of case in which
the father of the seduced girl took sum-
mary vengeance on her lover. The bril-
liant essay writer made great stir, but
the subject of his pen was meanwhile
forgotten. 1t was only to-day that the
father was brought up for trial, at the
Court of AssizeN of the Seine, in the hall
in which the Cassagnac case was recently
tried. Only those provided with tickets
were admitted up to ten o'clock, but at
that hour the court was densely crowded,
the insatiably inquisitive women being,
as usual, in the majority. The act of ac-
cusation simply recapitualated the facts
of the case, and related how Marambat,
as soon as he was informed of the affair
by friend of his daughter, went to the
shop where her seduCer was employed,
and, the latter being out made an ap-
pointment at cafe for the following
evening. On the young man then refus-
ing to marry the girl, the father plunged
knife into his side and inflicted what
was at first thought to be mortal wound.
Marambat, the father, is employed in a
jewelers. shop of the Rue st. Jacques,
and is forty-nine years Of age, but his
gray hair makes him look much older.
He gave his evidence with quiet self
possession which must have been sorely
tried by the questions put to him by the
President. Imagine an English Judge
asking a prisoner if he had never allowed
his daughter to sleep out, and on the
man replying, eyes, twice; the first time
it was to 60 to the play" adding, "That
was fatal license; it was with one of
her female friends she went to the thea
ter" "That was a great imprudence on
your part, and, without accusing your
parental tenderness, one may say that
you were wanting in foresight" Henry
Robert, the lover, asserted, with cynical
coolness, that he would not marry her
on account of her frivolous behavior, al
though he did not accuse her of infdelity
to him. He declared that he had never
promised to marry her, and, when con-
fronted with the girl in court, he met
her fearful assertions to the contrary
with distinct denial, Mile. Marambat
confessed that there had been no prom
Use of marriage prior to her fault, and she
had to listen to the evidence of her en-
ployer that she had once been out with
him for drive, though nothing compro-
missing had taken place. There was lit
tie novelty in the s peeches for the prose-
cution and defense, except that in the
latter the barrister adopted Dumass
theory that a man was justified in killing
thief who stole bis property. The
general feeling of the witnesses and
court seemed to be in favor of the lover,
and the jury, after quarter of an hours
deliberation, returned a verdict of not
guilty, a conclusion which seemed to give
great satisfaction to all the ladies pres
ent If ever one man owed another a
debt of gratitude, Marambat is deeply
indebted to Alexandra Dumas.-Paris

HARRY HOLLOWAY, Superintendent of

Journal, and near relative of Senator
Morton, has been indicted by the U. S.
Grand Jury for receiving a bribe of two
thousand dollars from W. G. Mason, to
secure said Mason mailbag repairing
contract, by which the government was
swindled. Holloway, on being indicted,
resigned his Office and sold out of the
Journal, thus clearing his decks for ac-

KIssAxE, an Indian chief, believed to
have been one hundred years old, died
recently in Washington Territory. He
belonged to the Cowlitz tribe, which has
dwindled, in twenty years, from about a
thousand persons to thirty-three, whisky
and smallpox having mainly done the
work. His tribe long ago was converted
to the Roman Catholic faith; but he, al
though of exemplary habits and ready to
help the priests, would not join the
church until 1872. He was buried in a
suit of fine black broadcloth, which he
had owned thirty years and worn on
great occasions.
