King Malietoa Of the Samoan group is altogether
too modest monarch. In his Stcinberger procama-
tion he states by cay Of apology that he is unac-
customed to the manner Of civilized nations'-and
yet in the same paper We find the following: If
any person holding any Office in my government
opposes my will shall have him removed from his
Office" Tho King certainly holds enlightened views
in regard to his civil service, and if he had only
embraced in his menace of removal the friends Of
any who had the hardihood to oppose his will as
well as the reckless officials themselves no one
could have discovered by internal evidence that the
document did not emanate from Washington.

Prof. Henry gives us slight insight into
the future as well as the past by telling us of
both the projects and the completed work of
the National Academy of Sciences and tho
Smithsonian Institution. Students OF the

Of the Washington meeting, new hints as TO
the origin of cold spells; it seems now to bo
ascertainod that when we have a cold snap
here, the inhabitants of Alaska may be ENJOY
ing their nearest approach to warm weather
Prof. Mayer has the good fortune to turn out
one or two notable discoveries every year, and
this time he comes before the Academy OF
Sciences with suggestion of interest to every
lOver of music and it may here be mentioned
that some of our mast successful makers OF
pianos acknowledge that they owe several of
their best improvements to the researches in
acoustics that hay heeu made within the last
ten or fifteen years 1t seems to be the rule
rather than the exception that work done solely
with view to gaining scientific knowledge,
brings up some unsOught practical application
of valde.

One of the five Republicans who are charged
with selling out to the Democrats In voting
AGAINST the Brooklyn charter, has mustered
courage to demand an investigation. His four
colleagues skulked in the background, and
seemed at a loss to comprehend his sensitive
ness in regard to personal honor The Assem-
bly,, under the lead of Mr. Fish, extended the
investigation to all the Republicans who cut
loose from their party under such suspicious
circumstances. This was wise. The Legisla-
ture has had the negative virtue of not doing
anything that was notOriOusly bad. The
breach in the Republican ranks has thrown
the legislators into panic, and some of them
think that the only way to save their reputa-
tion such as it is, will be to adjourn speedily.
Let these timid souls go to the bottom of this
scandal, and then find heart to dispose OF the
important measures which are now before
them.

The newspaper press of the United States was
before that of any other country in accepting
Woman's work. For years past many accomplished
ladies have been regularly employed by our daily as
well s weekly papers, and their contributions have
introduced new grace we'll AS q greater variety
into the character of journalism. 1t is proposed by
a number OF those engaged to commemorate their
progress in the profession during tho coming Cen
tennal Summer. The "Seventy-six Club" composed
exclusively of journalists, invite their asso-
cates of theUnied States and Of other countries to
participate with them. They have made arrange
ments for accommodation in the Exhibition Build
ing and have also accepted the prollered hospitality
of the Philadelphia Press Club. The President Mrs.
Il. g. Bladen, wishes the cooperation of her sister

New-York tribune., 1876-04-21

The Young women's Christian Association has
issued circular to shopkeepers, making an urgent
appeal in behalf of female clerks who are required
TO stand continuously while at their daily duties.
We are glad that the ladies of this useful ASsocia-
tion have taken up tho matter. THE TRIBUNE has
many times protested against the cruel wrong Of
keeping women all day and day after day in at
ttude which is not only fatiguing but serious in
jury to their health, and it is satisfactory to know
that great many establishments in which womGn
are employed have modified the rule which was
formerly almost universal. The ladies of the AS
sociation take sensible course in adding to their
civil circular resolution, that in making our pur-
chases wo will give preference to those houses who
thus care for the welfare of their employees"

that he intended marching on the Mexican
