MAJOR GEN. ScHoFIELD.- San
Francisco ALa Of March 81, says:-
After careful consideration of the prop
osition of the President, urged by Gen.
Sherman. commanding the armies of the
United States, and backed by Secretary
Taft. the present Secretary of War, Maj.
Gen. John NJ. Scho6eld, for the past six
years commanding the military division
of the Pacific, has accepted the Superin-
take MS ueparVure uIS uv" n1ru Va
usefulness. The desire on the part of
President and Gen. Sherman is to elevate
the status of the Military Academy, the
nursery for officers of the army, who are
hereafter to manage its affairs, and to
this end it is known the elevated char
acter and distinguished history of Gen.
Scho6eld, both as military commander
in the field and in the administration of
military affairs, and as statesman OF
broad and expanded ideas as exemplifed
in his career as Secretary of war in one
of the most critical periods Of the coun-
try's history, and in the reconstruction
of Virginia, will give the most ample
assurance. We feel safe in asserting no
appointment to the position could be
more acceptable to the country, and it
will tend greatly toward strengthening
the faith in the determination of the
administration to put the right men IN
the right places. In accepting this trust.
Gen. schofeld has the precedent Of Ad-
miral Porter, who, in the navy, ranks
with Gen. Sherman, the head Of the
army, who has for several years past
been in charge of the Naval Academy
at Annapolis. Gen. SchOfeld's history
is SO we'll known that it would seem su-
perhuous to recount it in detail here.
His name is identified with many Of the
most important events Of the late war.

A SISTERS LovE-Who can tell the
thoughts that cluster around the word
sister? How ready she is to forgive the
errors and foibles of a brother She
never deserts him. In adversely she
clings closely to him, and in trials she
cheers him. And when the bitter voice
of reproach is poured into his ears, she
is ever ready to hush its harsh tones,
and turn his attention away from its
painful notes. But let him move in a
fowery path, and she hangs clusters of
smiles about him. In watching his ia
vored career and listening to his eulogy,
she feels the purest satisfaction. The
cold grave cannot crush her affection for
him. 1t outlives her tears and sighs.
And hence. she often wanders to the
spot where he reposes with the fragrant
rosebush and honeysuckle, and plants
them on his tomb. And who will dare
to affirm her love perishes when shs
fades away from earth May it not live
far off in the glorious land and 1--we on
increasing in fervOr and intensity, dur
ing the endless ages of eternity =?

Regulations are being prepared at
the Treasury Department for the issue
Of silver currency under the new law.
Treasurer New has been in consultation
with Secretary Bristow on the subject.
The silver currency will be issued only
as a substitute for fractional currency
delivered at the department. II is not
yet decided whether the department will
bear the expense Of transportation Of
silver from the treasury to the bankers
and others applying therefor. There are
now s20,00O.OoO Of silver and silver
bullion in the vaults Of the treasury.
Enough will be provided to redeem all
the fractional currency in circulation as
rapidly as the same can be presented.

THE FALSE PROPHET.

The condition of Turkey becomes more
hopeful for Christians every day. The
financial state of things is worse and
worse. and the worse the better for civil
lizatiOn, liberty and peace. The Turk
ish government is simply an armed oc-
cupation of the Levant. religious and
wicked despotism, holding three times
its own population under the iron heel
of military subjugation. The provinces
now in revolt confidently rely upon the
Christian powers to help them. or. at
least, to maintain neutrality. There is
little danger that the great crime Of the
Crimean war win be repeated. The
world now sees, aud many bitten mon
ey-lender now feels. that the vast expen-
diture of life and money to uphold Tur-
key was the greatest blunder of the age.
Whom vast Christian population is
crushed to the earth by power whose
only principle is the propagation of Mo-
hammedanism by force. the process of
recovery must be slow. But it is writ
ten, we believe, in the book of Divine
prophecy, that this false prophet will be
overthrow. And no future event ap-
pears to us more evidently approaching
than the downfall of the Turkish En-.
pire. The wish is apt to be the father
of the hope, and we are quite free to say,
that in the drying up of that great river
of blood, we see the resuscitation of
Christianity in the East, the union of
Western with Oriental civilization, the
practical connection of Europe and Asia.
and a long stride toward the enlighten-
ment Of the world.
Even BlacksOoods Magazine has at
last come to say these words which we
said twenty years ago;
sit seems to US that the integrity and
independence of the Ottoman Empire.
which it was the object of the Crimean
war to uphold, are complete illusions"

PRAISE THEM.-Praise people when
ever you can truthfully, instead Of blam-
ing them on every possible occasion. Ev-
erybody needs little encouragement in
life, and there are more opportunities of
giving it than is generally realized. In
general we are quick to notice defcien-
cies and faults in husband, wife, child
and friend but scores of good qualities
and numberless pleasant attentions pass
unnoticed, as a matter of course. If the
breakfast is late, the coffee poor, the bis
cult burned, we are ready enough TO find
fault, but if everything is nice and good,
how often does the care-taker hear a
word of commendation If Charlie
comes to table with soiled hands and
rough-and- tumble hair, or if Susie leaves
her room in turmoil and disorder, they
are reprimanded. But if the boy is nice
and tidy, and the girl has put her room
in good order, what then ? Is some ap-
probation of these things shown

LABOR.

1t is a common, though mistaken idea,
that labor was imposed upon man as
curse. The first we read of Adam after
his creation is that he was placed in the
garden of Eden s4tn dress and keen it,
and, sin or no sin, the Creator destined
man to work. 1t was heather poet
who said. at is a slaves duty to plow,
and a treeman's business to enjoy the
fruit of the blowing" unhappily, this
opinion is shared by many, even among
farmers and mechanics. In schooling
their sons they aim not to make them
educated farmers aud mechanics, but
rather to shun these avocations because
they are connected, as they suppose,
with degradation and drudgery. The OBJ
iect should rather be, to honor the calling
of the father, by teaching the son to
bring more knowledge and practical
wisdom to the compounding of soils and
the construction of labor-saving ma
chimes. If mere blind unthinking force
moved the plow and the saw, we should
not be able to boast our present advance
above the beasts. Instead of toiling
wearily by some mountain stream, In
telligent man damned up its waters, and
compelled it to saw, and grind, and spin
for him. Instead of the dim Indian
trail or rude highway designated BY
marked trees he constructed roads of iron
and harnessed to caravan of wagons {
steed whose muscles are steel, whose
nerves are brass, and whose heart is thu
fire of red-hot Lehigh. He has subju
gated the winds and waves to his will
and even the lightnings of heaven be
come his messengers and leap away +
do his bidding. The design of labor
saving inventions is to bring the power
of the wind to the relief of the hands
thus providing leisure for social inter
course, mental cultivation and religion
duty .. V. i.

The spring has been a very exception
al season in Great Britain. We publish
ed, week or two since, accounts of the
heavy fall of snow in Scotland, by which
the railroads were obstructed and trains
detained for several days. The weather
last week was very severe in England,
Wales and ireland. On Thursday, at
London, snow and rain fell. At Shelf
field the snow was nearly foot deep.
At Nottingham seven inches of snow
fell In North Wales the ground was
covered to the depth of nine inches. At
Dublin foot of snow fell the previous
night.
The same sort of weather extended to
the continent, on Friday, when heavy
snow storm prevailed throughout France.
The snow was unusually deep at Bor-
deaux and Marseilles. A Paris dispatch
wintry weather has been known in Paris
at this season for fifty years.
