Richmond, Va, is highly amused ovel
the eappearance of the Henry Clay statute,

dirt, which has just received a pair of
hands of snow white Italian marble,
ordered by the General Assembly, to
place the mutilated ones.
The trade-mark treaty, just concluded
between the official representative Of
Great Britain and the United States, is
important In It's relation to American man
sfactures. 1t provides that the subjects
or citizens of each country shall have equal
rights with those of the other in every
thing relating to trade marks and labels,
after fulfilling the formalities of the laws
Of the respective countries. American
manufacturers who have complained be-
cause inferior goods, with an imitation of
heir brand, have been pushed upon for
ign markets, ought at once to make appli-
@cion in Great Britain fer registration
under the new treaty.
In Berlin there are about 100 females
employed in the telegraph Office, and
among them are to be found women of
good standing in society. Those who en-
ter are trained in the necessary theoretical
and practical knowledge in a special
school, established by the Post-Ofice
authorities. The preliminary examination
is higher in It's requirements than in Eng
land, comprising English, French, geog-
raphy and the construction of German
sentences. A three months course Is re-
'luired in the practising rooms, where the
management of the apparatus is taught,
and a practical examination is then
passed. Lectures upon physics and
chemistry are then attended twice a week
for five month"; after which an appoint
ment is given. Then another written
and verbal examination must be passed
upon the internal management of the tel
egraph service, and the uses of the va
riOus portions of the apparatus. When
all these trials have been successfully
passed the candidate receives a perma-
nent appointment. The service is in
great aemand, and the work of the ladies
Is said to be highly satisfactory. tit
Lord Macaulay, the great essayist and
historian, wrote these words: "Children,
look in those eyes, listen to that dear
voice, notice the feeling Of even single
touch that is bestowed upon you by that
gentle hand Make much Of it while
yet you have that most precious Of all
good gifts-a loving mother. Read the
unfathomable love Of th Sc eyes; the
kind anxiety of that tone and look, how
ever slight your pain. In after-life you
may have fnends-fond, dear, kind
friends; but never will you have again
the inexpressible love and gentleness law
ished upon you which none but mother
bestows. Often do 1 sigh in my strug-
giles with the hard, uncaring world, for
the sweet, deep security 1 felt when, of
an evening, nesting in her bosom, I list
ened to sore quiet tale, suitable to my
age, read in her tender and untiring voice.
Never can I forget her sweet glance
cast upon me when 1 appeared asleep
never her kiss of peace at night. Years
have passed away since we laid her be-
side my father in the old church yard
yet still her voice whispers from the grave
and her eye watches over me as I visit
spots long since hallowed to the memory
Of my mother"
