Matrimonial advice.

The Methodist bishop of Texas has been adj
dressing his conference OIL the subject Of
young ministers marrying, in very pleasant
and practical strain. Young preachers, with
clean shirt fronts aud finger nails, were, he
said, above par, but should remain single
till they had flushed their studies. If
ayoung minister" said the bishop, marrics a
beautiful young hldy hn nlilst love her and,
loving her, he must talk to her, and, talking
to his studies" Then the worthy old man
went on to say that he determined when he
joined the conference in youth not to marry
until he should finish his course of study.
There were as fine looking and charming
young ladies OIL his first circuit rs the United
States afforded. Put he armed himself against
all the glanccs and smiles of the fair young
damsCls. When in the province of God II be-
came necessary for him to select u companion,
he was competent TO select the proper person;
aud when he lost that dear one by death, and 1t
became necessary that he select one to take
her place and be u mother to tho pledges of
love she had lett him. he found one good, true
aud peerless lOung preachers whose boards
are not fully grown could not always select the
right one to br travelling preachers wife.
lie knew man who married while n local
preacher and when Hiterward ho joined the
conference II was discovered thAt he possessed
considerable genius, but that his wife was an
unculiy iyatcd woman who did not know how
| to dress herself 81 that when he was appointed
| IN an important city station his wife wore
brogan shoes and the ladies' formed commit
tee and went aud dressed her, TO the husband S
unuttcrablc and abiding shame.

National Police Detectives.

Tho eighteen great natiopal detective corps
are about ready to begin operations. Every
man with claim which has not been paid by
the Secretary of the Treasury, or which that
officer has refused to personally examine into
and Determine, Is now expected to rush into
the arms Of the generous GLOVER, who will at
once listen to the details of his grievance aud
arraign the Secretary for not unlocking the
Treasury and paying these demands. These
disappointed claimants aud all their friends,
and they are legion, will testify against
all the Secretaries since 1865, for thoy have
all treated theui aud thoir claims with like
neglect. Every man who has grievance
wants an investigation, and he will carry his
grievance to some one Of the eighteen chief de-
tectiyes who have been detailed to hear them.
II matters little what his grievance is. 1t may
be disappointment. in obtaining an appoint
ment that was awarded TO some one else. A
Washington sojourner with grievance is the
rule, and one without a grievance is an excep-
ton. The great national detective corps is
now dividedin eighteen divisions or sections
aud, on an average, they will take at least
5000 printed pages Of testimony each. We
may then look for 10000 pages of printed
testimony and 10000 pages of reports from the
chief detectives making in all 100000 pages Of
printed matter, for the purpose of gratifying
the " malice, envy, hate, aud all uncharitable-
ness" of a few disappointed politicians who
should carry their grievances into the courts,
instead of the committee.rooms, and would do
so il they had any real foundation. The
preparation and printing Of these books ire
ports and testimony will cost hundreds Of
thousands of dollars. And this detective corps
is prUfcsscd school of economy.
