WH1rEs and blacks have separate
churches and schools in New Orleans, and
very properly. IT. as is reported, Governor
Nichols has put Pinchback on to white
school board it will cause great dissatisfac-
ton. It ought not to have been DONE
rhe::white schools should have white school
boards and the colored schools should have
their own boards, as the colofed churches
regulate their own affairs, and have their
own eolored preachers. As = general
thing colored children do not want to at
tend school with white children, a. they
are in the minority and contentious are
continually arising. Under the civil ser
vice reform policy Of the Administration
there was no necessity Of thrusting Pinch
forward on this occasion, as he is not Pc
caliarly fitted for such position.

THE cause of the fall of the roof at the
New York Post-ofice, whereby several
mea were killed, is being investigated by
the Coroner of that city. The superinten.
dent of the work Of alteration says that the
truss was not properly made, that it was
not fastened to the roof as it should have
been, and that its end was not propely sup.
ported, these defects causing the roof to fall
in when the temporary wooden shores or
supports were taken away. He made no
special examination of the truss or of the
work, either before or after 1t was set, but
blames the contractors for having neglected
to do their work properly, and defends
himself from the charge of neglect of his
duties of superintendent.

THE dispute between two women as Ia
which Of them shall be considered the
legal widow of the late DIR. Felix Trust
Goaraud, has led 10 interesting develop
lnents. The common supposition undoubt.
edly was that Gouraud was Frenchmau
and that his patent stuff was one Of those
mysterious articles which Partisan chem.
lists furnish for the regeneration Of the jaded
danes Of fashions capital. But it turns
out that Gouraud's original name was
Trust, that he was not a Frenchman, but a
Londoner, and was first newspaper re-
porter and then dancing master before lie
went into the wrinkle-smoothipg business.
Probably the stories of the lives of some
other patent preparation venders might lie
equally surprising to those who use their

POISONOUS LITERATURE.

The promise is that public attention viii

hardly say that euch an enterprise vii

The field in which operations are de-

Importance of the work TO individuals ano
to society there can be no question what
ever. There are two classes of pernicious
Literature against which combat ought to
be made; that which is publicly sold and
is not illegal, and that which is circulated
secretly and in violation of the laws. Both
classes present formidable obstacles; the
first because the law will not stop it, and
the second because of the silent, insiduous
and obscure processes through which it is
distributed. What those processes are is
little known to the general public, and
there would be obvious impropriety in at
tempting to detail them here.
The victims of the scoundrels who con-
duct this nefapious business are the young,
Boys and girls in seminaries and even in
their homes are reached and tempted to
purchase, with the result that teachers
aud parents, who think they have guard
ed every avenue Of approa ch, and unsus.
picious of the presence Of evil, while the
young minds entrusted to their care are
being poisoned to their deepest depths
There is nothing upon earth SO corrodipg
to the yonng as an obscene book; and these
publications of which we speak are the
yilest Of the vile. The worst indecencies
that'are Aaunted upon the stage are far lese
hurtful to youth than an infamous mar
rative over which he pores in secret. The
written story leaves an impression which
is ipdelible and Mhich,supplies an impulse
lnc''cuiaoie. 1he harm that u DeIng done
by the lewdness Of such base literature i,
appalling, and hastens the youthful mind
to the committal of the viIest crimes. Par.
ents, therefore, cannot be too watchful in
guarding against the entrance of this vile
trash into their hands, if they wish to pre-
serve the purity of their youths.

ALTHOUGH men are accused for n,

as few know their own strength. 1t is in
men as in soils, where sometimes there is
a vein Of gold, which the owner knows not
Few are qualified to shine in company ;
bat it is in most mems power to bs agree

sation runs SO low at present, is not the
defect of understanding, but vanity, ill
nature, stieclalion, singularity, positive.
ness, or some other vice, the effect of
wrong education.
Small! causes are sufficient to make man
uneasy, when great ones are not in the way
for want Of u block he will stumble at a
straw.
The humor Of exploding many things
under the name Of ,riaes, fopperies, and
only imaginary goods, is a very false
proof either Of wisdom or magnanimilv,
and d great check to virtuous actions. For
instance, with regard to fame: there is in
most people reluctance and unwilling
ness to be forgotten. We observe, even
among the vulgar, how fond they are to
have an inscription over their grave. 1t
requires but little philosophy to discover
and observe that there is an intrinsic value
in all this; however if it be founded in
our nature, as an Indictment to virtue, it
ought not TO be ridiculed.

receives, AID the sincerest part of our de.
votion.
