ST. NICHOLAS FOR SEPTEMBER-H Has, among
its most interesting articles, delightful little
story by Eliza Wood called ''The Land of the
Grigs; :" a good common-seuse Talk with Girls
by Oliver Thorne on "a Taste for Reading" and
a very funny poem by Laura E. Richards, entitl-
ed 'John Bottlejohn."
"How the Children Cruised in the Water
Witch" by E. W. Olney; "The Races at Shark
Bay" by Rebecca Harding Davis, and "Rosy," by
Children's Party" contains some practical hints
on a very good way to be benevolent; and the
number abounds in poems, ofwhch Bessie Hills
"Ny Ship on the Ocean," and Carrie w. ThOmp-
sons 'Fwo of Them" are very sweet and dainty
bits of verse. Then, too, there are several excel
lent pictures scattered through the pages such as
"a September Evening" and "By the Brook
side" and the very eomcal sketches of 'Little
Johnny and the Mosquito" and "Whtewashing
the Baby"
The article on sour Colonial Coins" with its
thirty illustrations, and the amusing poem of
"The Buekskin Breeches," have a centennial
interest; while Mrs. Olphant's admirable paper
on Windsor Castle" and the sketch of the
brave Florentine, ''Ferrucci," convince us that
some interesting events did really happen before
the 4th of July, 1776.
The generous installment of Mr.. Brooks's ''Boy
Emigrants" is full of dramatic incident, and
frightened by three excellent engravings, and
the departments as lively as ever, the Letter
Box" being unusually large

UNIFORM SYSTEM OF BANKRUPTCY.
Mr.. Thurman called up the Senate bill
to amend the act to establish uniform
system ol bankruptcy throughout the
United States. Mr.. Thurman explained
that the object Of the bill was to put an
end to the discordant decisions which had
made the bankrupt law one thing in one
district and another thing in another dis
trict.
The bill amends the bankrupt laws so
as to ptovide that no voluntary assign
ment by q debtor or debtors Of all his or
their property heretofore or hereafter
made IN good faith for the benefit OF his
or their creditors, ratably or without
creating any preference, and valid nc-
cordIng TO the law OF the State where
made, shall Of itself, in the event Of his
or their being subsequently adjudicated

bankruptcy, be bar to the discharge Of
such debtor or debtors.
After discussion the bill was read a

Our dispatches indicate that scarcely
light enough will be left in the public
buildings Of the United States to make
darkness visible, the appropriation for
such purpose having been exhausted.
Orders have been issued by Secretary
Btistow to cut of gas, fuel and water
from the postofIices, custom houses, and
other United States buildings in New
Orleans, LouisyilIe, Cincinnati, New
York and Boston. We presume similar
orders will be shortly issued to Postmas.
ter Rawling OF this city.
Thus is made manifest to the people OF
the country the neglect Of the public bus
iness, consequent upon the miserable
wrangle for political precedence which
has characterized the proceedings in the
House during this entire session. Post
Master General Jewell when consulted by
the Committee on Appropriations MS to
how much reduction could be
made iu his department, intimated
that he would cut down the postal SER
vice to suit the appropriations Treusu.
rer New when similarly consulted,
plainly informed the committee that it
didn't make any Difference to him what
reductions were made, as he did not in
tend to stay longer than June. From
these officers Secretary Bristow seems to
have taken the cue, and is promptly
taking steps to avoid deficiency bill.
From the darkness and the coltlness and
the dryuess of the public buildings, the
employees of the Government and the
public can admire the brilliant political
lights that glimper and simmer and

National Capitol. The handwriting on
the wall is "Meac Meme TSkel UphaHia."
