ABOUT SUNDAY SCHOOL CHILDREN
fdtoT Star: The large and beautiful process
sion OF handso.uely-dressed Sunday school
children which yesterday passed through
our principal streets, with flags and banners
nylng, on their route TO the Smithsonian
GROUNDS, gave great salts. action to all who
saw them- In this beautiful park apprO-
tIIate ceremonies were held pi eparatory to
tne enlloren having a fine free 'omp upon
ne 1eautlIul green and handsomely cultt-
Nateu lawn. These grounds are now much
Iequented oy children and their nurses.
InIS community is fortunate in having q
band Of vigorous, ell-ipstructed, healthy
children, who II few wears S.nI os called
upon TO occupy the places now held by OIL
persons. The procession reminds me of
letter received this morning from Dr. b. r.
Hayward, OF North Carolina, in which he
speaks OF the great healthfulness of the city
OF Raleigh and institutes the following facts
regarding the health Of the children of the
Sunday schools OF that city: "In the
city OF Raleigh there are sixteen hun
dred and forty Sunday school scholars, and
during the twelve months last past there
has not been among them single death.
This, think, is an extraordinary fact and
shOuld be generally known" Probably the
habits and principles iDculcated to Sunday
school children by their teachers, while 1t
instructs their morals, also serves to pre-
serve their health. Further statistics on
the mortality OF Sunday schools may de-
veop this fact.

The Analostan Regatta.


OfENlNG or THE ROWING SEASON.
The Analostan Boat Club formally dedi-
Gated their beautiful and commodiOus new
boat house Saturday afternoon. The pro-
gramme consisted OF ''single, sliding seat.
working gig race" three boats entering; a
fouT-osred shell race, three crews entering;
and race between the winning shell crew
and picked six OF the club. The club house
was crowded with invited guests, and the
river banks were lined with spectators,
while ipDumerabIes small crafts fitted about
on The water.
THE FIRST RACE
was Tor very handsome boat flag presented
by the ladies of the club three onarfers of a
mile down the river and return. The con-
nstants were M6Ssrs. Hall, Elliott and Jones'
nan won the race by three or four lengths,

[From Appleton's Journal


1t is notorious that woman will submit,
to every suffering and undergo every penalty
required by fashion. She will sacrifice her
beauty and comfort i'll dress, and jeopardize
her dearest prospects of life to the require
ments of usage. A wedding tour may have
untold sdiscomforts it may embarrass her
modesty. endanger her connubial bliss, injure
her health, lay the beginnings of chickering's
and differences; it may have every known
disadvantage, but it will be insisted on if
society utters its bchests to that effect. 1t is
women who are specially anxious that mar
riagcs should multiply, and yet it is women
who have given the wedding ceremony such
elaboration of display, and loaded it with
such costly expenditures, that marriage, with
majority of men, is rendered impossible
Fashion, or common sense, or some other
power, should dictate that marriage cere-
monies ought to be smplean transformations,
and that, after the ceremony is performed,
the calm Of some sweet seclusion is abso-
lutely necessary, not only for the future
health of a wife whose nerves are already
overstrained by the excitement of what is to
her tremendous event, but the foundation
OF an intercourse between the newly-married
couple that shall be sweet and lasting. Have
any of our people the courage to defy usage,
and act according to their own inclinations
at this important period

Loving and Being Loved.

Perhaps, says the Home Journal, there is
no more painful time in woman's life than
the time of transition, when the assiduous
lover is passing into the matter-of-fact hus-
band, and the wooer is gradually changing
into the master. Women, who are so much
more sensitive than men, more sentimental,
too, and less content to trust in silence to an
undemonstrative affection, are, tor the most
part, happy only while they are being made
love to. 1t is not enough to be loved; they
want to be told twenty times day, and to
have the harmonies of life enriched by a
crowd of occasional notes." embroidering
the solid substance by which they live. Men
on the contrary, get tired Of making love.
When they have wooed and won, they are
content to be quiet and to take all the rest for
granted. They are not cold, however, be-
cause they are secure; and to most-and
these the best-practical kindness is better
than tlattery, security ranks before excitement
and hysteria, and life passed in serene friend-
ship, fearing no evil, knowing no break and
needing no praising, is better than life passed
in perpetual turmoil of passion, where there
are scenes and tears, and doubts, and broken
hearts, If there are not endless courtships and
fatlguing demonstrations.

What the MOrmOnS Believe.
Mormon in the New York Evening Post

A Mormon in the New York Evening Post.
The Mormon people no more entertain the
idea OF removing from Utah than the Bos-
tonians reflect on the possibility of evac-
uatlng Boston. l cannot express a conviction
of their permanent residence in any stronger
terms. They believe that when the Millen-
lum, OF which there are no present indica-
tions, shall come, the saints of the Lord will
be gathered together in Jackson county,
Missouri, where they will reign for 1000
years, all the rest of the world, even inclu-
ding Boston, being destroyed. Whom they
will reign over, by the by, has never been
told us. Until that glorious day shall come
they are directing their main efforts to the
upbuilding of Utah. The only foundation
for such reports as are frequently seen in the
newspapers is the sending out of an oc-
casional colony into the neighboring terri
tories, chiefly as missionary station for the
conversion of the Indians. The Book of
Mormon teaches that the American Indians
therein termed Lamanites, are the descen-
dants OF the lost tribes of Israel, and that
while it is the duty of the church to convest
all nations to a savage knowledge of the
truth, its first endeavors are to be for the sal
vation OF these remnants of the fold.

Modern and Ancient NayieS.

Modern naval architecture has largely bor-
rowed from the ancients. Only within about
twenty years America and Europe adopted
the ram both for offensive and defensive
purposes in naval warfare, but the war ves-
sells of the Greeks and Romans were built on
the same principle. And the extent of the
navies of old is something remarkable. The
tonnage of the British navy, the largest of
this day, is about 100000 tons, but the
Athenians, 335 years before the Christian era
being republic with less than 1900, 900 of
inhabitants, sustained a navy of All rams,
with tonnage of 103,577 tons with 10000
men, and the Romans, in single naval bat
tie with the Carthagenians, brought into
action 1854 rams, of 1913, 1857 tons manned by
100, 600 fighting men. The fleet of Xerxes,
which the Athenians defeated at Salamis,
consisted of 1907 rams, 280,627 tons, and
manned by 340, 900 men.

gone in as body, and, from the woods in
which l fought, advanced on the village, that
its destruction was certain but he was fully
confident they were running, or he would not
have turned from me. l think (after the
great number of Indians there were in the
village) that the following reasons obtained
for the misfortune: His rapid marching for
two days and one night before the fight, at
tacking in the daytime at 10 n., and when
they were on the Qui vive, instead of early
in the morning, and, lastly, his unfortunate
division of the regiment into three commands.

a young man, member of the Ohio Legisla-
ture, and ambitious to show off his accom-
plishments. One day he concluded one of
his speeches with quite lengthy Latin quo
tation. After he had taken his seat portly
member from Mama sedately arose, arrested
the attention of the Speaker. and proceeded
to declaim Wyandot Indian speech in the
original tongue. At its conclusion he SOL

upon the member in wonder and amazement
until he finished, then, catching glimpse of

Hens is curious animals. They don't have

is generally put inter pillers and made inter

WASHINGTON, August 18th. 1876. {
S1R-The House of Representatives of the
United States on the 10th inst, passed the
following preamble and resolution
WHEREAS, the right of suffrage prescribed
by the Constitutions of the several States is
subject to the fifteenth amendment to the
Constitution of the United States, which is
as follows: Article XIV, Section 1.-The right
of citizens of the United States to vote shall
not be denied or abridged by the United

and whereas, the right of suffrage so pre-
scribed and regulated should be faithfully
maintained and observed by the United States
and the several States and the citizens thereof.
And whereas, it is asserted that the exercise

with the spirit of the above, you are to hold
all available force under your command, not
now engaged in subduing the savages of the
Western frontier, in readiness to be used
upon the call or requisition of proper legal
