POOR GIRLS.

The R,ruI World says: "The
poorest girls IN the world are those
who had never been taught to work.
There are thousands Of them. Rich
parents have petted them they
have been taught to dispise labor,
and depend upon others for living,
and are perfectly helpless. If mis-.
fortune comes upon their friends, as
it often does, their case is hopeless.
The most forlorn and miserable wo-
men upon earth belong to this class.
1t belongs to parents to protect
their daughters from this deplorable
condition. They do them great
wrong If they neglect it. Every
daughter should lie taught TO earn
her own living. The rich as we'll as
the poor require this training. The
wheel OF fortune rolls swiftly around
the ich are very likely to become
poor, and the poor rich. Skilled to
labor is no disadvantage to the rich,
and is Indispensable 10 the poor.
Well-to-do parents FL 7st educate
their chlldreD to work. No reform
is more imperative than this"

self and the Senate. 1t can be asserted
positively that no nominations will be
made for the New York Custom offices,
but that Cornell and Arthur will be al
lowed to remain until the expiration of
their terms. The action of the Cabinet

nothing more than surrender of Evsrts

committee was selected for the express
purpose of defeating Evarts' intentions.
Several Senators called upon the President
yesterday, and to-day report that he has
evidently modified his views and predict
that he will not give the Republicans any
further cause for criticism. He is prepar.
ing a special message to be sent into Con.
gress when it assemblies which will em.
brace his views on Civil Service reform.
but will discuss other topics, principally
among which will be Chinese immigration,
and he is having daily consultation with

The Dairymen's Convention.

The thirteenth annual convention Of
the American Dairymens' Association.
which has been in session at Cleveland fol
several days, wound up its business on
Thursday Of this week. The proceeding,
embrace large amount of speech making,
but there was little action that was of a
sufficiently condensed character to come
within our limits. We have not, therefore,
attempted the task of reducing them to q
scope to bring them within our limits. We
however give the following article from
the Leader:
We surrender large part OF our
space this week to the proceedings of
the National Dairymen'a Association
now in session in this city. The i'm.
portaEce of this interest to the coun
try, and to Ohio particularly, can
hardly be over-stated. The dele.
gates themselves supply all the nee
essary statistics connected with
their business in their proceedings.
They form body of more than two
hundred men, who will compare fa-
vOrably with as many representa-
tires of any other occupation in the
soundness of their views and the in.
telligent interest they take in what
ever will advance their prosperity.
IL would be too much to expect that
a convention of this size and char
acter could meet anywhere without
gathering together greater or less

The Ohicago Minister on HalL

The question raised in this country by
Beecher's sermon regarding future place
of punishment, and the controversy in
certain Now England States among con-
gregationalists, led the Inter-Ocean to in
terviswing some forty orthodox clergymen
here Sunday. The result was that very
large majority Of them-of whatever
evangelical church-repudiated Beecher's
doctrine, some with fervor and savage
zeal, and others mildly, while few were
non-committal, or inclined to explain away
without endorsing Beecher's words. On
the other hand, DR., Thomas, of the Gem
tenary Methodist, and Swing, of his Cen
tral Church, preached inconoclastic SER
mons to-day, which almost totally repu-
diate the accepted idea that hell exists
as place of torment. agony or terrible
punishment. Their sermons lean decided
ly towards the Beecherian Interpretation
of Hades than toward the other extreme.

Victor Emmanuel is now making things
a little uneasy, by what is represented as
serious illness as Italy, it Is believed, is
more or less involved in the diplomacy of
the Eastern question. His malady is rath-

goes from one end of the scale to the 9TH

the conscience Of Bourbon Democrat

We think it is safe to say that the
danger of further dissensions in the
Republican party, by reason of fresh
efforts to turn out the present New
York Custom House officers, without
charges and against the strong ex-
preston of the Senate, has passed
away. If there is to be further troub-
lie on this subject, it is not likely to
originate with the President or the
Administration. Conscientious Re
publicans who believe it the chief du-
ty of the hour to maintain the power
of the Republican party intact,as tine
most efficient means for protecting
the National credit and the National
Treasury, will see to it that any 9TH
er person using this question to dis
turb the harmony of the party shall
be held to rigid responsibility.

not agreed with The locusts in their
mountain home, and very few come

of this particular hopper, though
very wide, is somewhat restricted at
the West, as it does not jump over
the Sierra Nevada or Cascade Rang

facts, the chronological Commission

advantage over the insect by new

England has intimated to Russia, that
the Sublime Porte is desirous and ready
for opening peace negotiations, and the
look thus given towards mediation: ssvors
of a cessation of hostilities, and opens the
way towards the establishment of perma-
nent basis of settlement. Russia's reply
to this approach on the part of England,
is said to be favorable for negotiations,
but the proffered mediation meets with
less respect. ENJOYS may be sent by the
Porte directly to the Russian Commander
in-ehief, and instructions have been given
to the Russian commanders to receive and
consider any proposals for a truce that
may be offered. This is about the state of
affairs, but there is much speculation sur
rounding this subject, which time will un-
