Mrs. MATTE II. PARRY, Of Wisconsin,
the eloquent lady lecturer, has just com
pleted the most telling course of lectures,
for good and for moral effect, that has
ever been delivered in this city. Her
lectures in then effects, have tended to
harmonic all the moral sentiment of the
place and thus utilize it for the special
hen. fit Of the more unfortunate and the
erring ones of the great family, and
brotherhood of mankind. Mr. Parry's
lectures have been largely attended, and
have also served to increase her populari-
~ as moral lecturer. On Mond y
evening, Mrs: Parry lectured to large
audience on the snbject of Temperance
and she deeply interested and moved her
hearers upon that subject, which Can but
arrest the attention of all lovers of hu
manity.
Mrs Parry finished last evening, the
last of the course Of six lectures. Her
lectures have all been remarkable, radis
cal and logical every sentence was
clothed with honor and reasoning. that
carries conviction with it. At the close
of the lecture last evening. there were
some steps taken toward organizing an
association of the Liberals of Buchanan

A BUCHANAN COUNTY PATRIARCH AND
HIS PosTERITY The BULLETIN office
was yesterday, the objective point of an
unprecedented though not unwelcome
invasion. Mr.. Charles Hoover Sr. for the
last 26 years resident of Newton Town
ship, in this County, an unusually hale
and sprightly old man OF &c years, is the
father of seven sons and daughters, and
thirty three grand children ell of whom
live in this county. Yesterday being
the 50th anniversary of the old gentleman's
marriage he took it into his head TO
gather his numerous progeny together, at
Winthrop, and to treat them to a ride to
independence on the cars. They arrived
nearly fifty in number. without accident,
and spent the day in seeing the sights of
the city. Among other places OF interest
they visited the BULLETIN office, the
whole company trooping up the stairs
with the patriarch and his venerable
spouse in advance, the former carrying
in his arms one of the latest com
ers Of the third generation, these follow
ed by sons and sons wives, daughters and
daughters husbands, and the small fry
in regular graduation. They filled the
sanctum and pervaded the office, leaving
no space unorcupied. The mystery Of
the types engaged their close attention,
and they surrounded the presses in so,id
phnanx and round eyed wonder Their
curiosity satisfied, they took their depar-
ture. the hale old ancestor still marshal
ing his healthy looking brood OF children
and grandchildren, intent on improving
their time to the best advantage Mr..
Hoover is deserving of pension; lie has
done well for his country.

EVIDENCE as to the merits of the Bulgarian
people and the degree in which they deserve
the sacrifice of other people on their behalf,
accumulates daily. Writing to the Paris
Temps from Sistova correspondent, alluding
to the discomfort which reigns in the Russian
army, says that one of the chief causes of
this state of feeling is the disillusion which
enthusiasts have now experienced concern
ing this exceedingly wel'to-do peasantry.
"For myself" adds the writer, 81 admit that
without expecting to fiud very manly quail
ties in a race which has been trampled under
foot for four centuries, never thought that
under servile and sheep-lke envelop so
much spiteful covetousness and such beastly
and ferocious passions could ferment." The
correspondent has sought in vain for some
extenuating circumstances for the conduct of
the Bulgarians both toward defenceless Mus
sulmans and dead Russians. At the Shipka
Pass he saw Cossacks fogging the Bugari-
ans off the fallen Russians, whom they were
engaged in plundering. "The Bulgarians,"
he adds, shave fallen in the social scale sew
eral degrees below the Greeks, the Servians,
and the Albanians. They have only one
quality; they work hard. And this quality
is due to the predominating passion of their
race-an unlimited cupidity, joined with a
sordid dissimulation. n This cupidity
has destroyed all other sentiments; and this
is why these men, who haggle over a morsel
of bread or handful of straw with their lib
orators, show themselves ferocious and pitt
less for defenceless persons" At Kezanlik
alone, says the correspondent, 300 out of 500
Jews were massacred in cold blood.

THE Government printing office at Wash
ington has just issued pamphlet report of
the proceedings of the International Confer
ence of Education, held at Philadelphia last
year. There has been some waste of paper
and ink in this publication, for the Confer
ence seems to have produced no results of
practical value. 1t is a pity that, when the
subject to be discussed was so vast, the speak
ers could not have travelled out OF the ordin.
ary routine. 1t was interesting to hear, no
doubt, that the systems of education in the
Hawaiian Islands and Japan have pro6ted
largely by Western example; that the pen
sioning Of school teachers in Sweden has
been found profitable on all accounts; and
that the Scheol-Inspectors in England are
often young University graduates of no ex-
perience. But these are trivial details in
comparison with the main subject under in
vestigation. The question which most con-
Germs the friends of rational education every
where is not the amelioraton of the condi-
tion OF the school-teachers, but the methods
oil instruction. 1t is a common mistake for
teachers, when they come together in con-
Vention, to assume that their own interests,
as individuals, are ose of paramount impor-
tance, whereas the fundamental thing Is the
benefit of those taught.

A STORY is told of another failure to mar
ry King Louis of Bavaria. The handsome
prince had gone so far as to allow the photo
graph of the bride proposed to be sent to
him; then he excused himself, pretending
that the lady had a low forehead. He de-
clared very frankly to his president of the
council that the sight of face with such
contour would irritate him excessively. he
does not possess the same taste as the an
clients, as sung by Horace, and the Greek and
Roman statues appear to him insipid from
the sheep-like straight line of the nose and
the receding brow. In vain was it argued
with the patron of Wagner that the most
beautiful women of antiquity endeavored to
obtain a small forehead by dressing their hair
as low as possible, and that now in the East
the women bring it almost to their eyebrows,
which is considered mark of beauty; moth
ing could induce the king to change his reso-
luton. Bavaria will have no queen, unlike,
Spain, who is preparing TO welcome new

DURING recent lawsuit to try the right to
asource OF water,iS was demonstrated official
ly and scientifically that the small river Aach,
which rises near the town OF that name in
the Hoehgau, and falls near Radolfszell into
the Lake of Constance, is fed by the Danube
between Mohringhen and Duttlinghen. On
that line of the Danube which makes its way
with difficulty through the rocks of the juras-
sic ground, the bed is intercepted with deep
holes, into which a great part OF the waters
OF the river disappear, and rise again 600
feet farther on under the name Of the Aach.
Consequently the Danube is tributary of
the Rhine. The place where the Danube
loses itself ia the ground is only six leagues
distant from the sources of the Aach, yet the
ingredients such as tar and tallow, thrown
into the Danube only reappear in the springs
OF the Aach sixty-three hours later.

THE Bangor Wing takes the PRESS to
task for using these words in an editorial ar
ticle Tuesday morning: ''The work Of re-
construction has apparently been finished by
the return to full selfgovernment in the
Southern states," and it intimates that the
above quoted sentence is at issue with the
declaration in the Maine Republican plat
form that "the States of South Carolina,
Florida and Louisiana were fairly and legally
carried by the Republicans at the November
election of 1876 for the State and Ma
tlonal tickets" Nothing in our language
justifes the inference our contemporary
draws, as the readers of the Whig would
readily see had that journal done US the JUS
tice to quote the entire paragraph from
which it takes one sentence.
