GOVERNOR CORNELL, of New York, de-
serves the thanks of every patriotic citizen
for interposing his official veto to bill
providing for pensioning school teachers.
The fact that such bill could be passed
by an American legislature is discouraging
and shows tho ease with which foreign GUS
toms may be engrafted upon republican
institutions. Gov. Cornell adduced strong
reasons against the policy of pensioning,
which should never be pursued except
where the vocation is extra hazardous to
life and limb, as in the case of soldiers, the
police and fremen. School teachers should
receive sufficient compensation from the
p,:pie, that, when incapaciated byage and
infrmities, they may possess reserve fund
of their own upon which to draw. II PEN
sions were paid to instructors Us well as to
the classes previously named, it would be
beginning towards making large portion
of the community a charge upon the state,
and of suLverting the most cherished fea-
tnres Of our government. In pensionins
the judges of the supreme court of the
United States the system was carried as fa1
as can be tolerated; but unless the people
exercise that eternal vigilance which hal
been well said sis the price of liberty, the
subversioE of our most valued rights is OIL.

Jokes on the Fair Sex.

''In the bright complexion of my youth
I'll have no such word as pale, and she
reached for the ge-box with the clutch
Of an angel.
Il can't 60 to Europe" a lady is reported
to have said; lam reading forty-five con-
tinued stories, and my limited means would
not let me pay the postage
A little girl at school read thus: "The
widow lived on a limbacy left her by rel
atise." "What did you call that word?"
asked the teacher; ''the word is legacy, not
limbacy," But" said the little girl, "my
sister says must say limb, not leg" There
was San Francisco girl afflicted with this
painful disease. She sleeps meath the
weeping willows now.
Burglars broke into the house of hor-
ribly ugly old maid the other night, and just
as they approached her couch, the woman
who was dreaming she was being proposed
to by handsome young man, rose up in
bed and exclaimed: eyes, love, will marry
YOU" The frightened burglars sprang
thirty feet through the window sash, and
never stopped until fifteen miles from town.
A lady of experience gives advice On kiss
ing to a younger lady friend, as follows:
BE frugal in your bestowals of such favors
In the first place, would cut off all cous-
ms, uncles, and brothers in law; let them
kiss their own wives and daughters; and 1
would not kiss the minister, or the doctor,
or the lawyer who gets you divorce. Now
this is woman Of some sense. She sees
the harmlessness of an editor man.
A hairpin is very useful article to a
woman. It serves the purpose of tooth
pick, button hook, and hair fastener; but
all this is no excuse for having one in your
vest-pocket when your wife doesn't know
where it comes from.

Opposition to Evening Weddings

From the Cincinnati Catholic Telegraph.
We trust that we shall hear no more of
afternoon or evening weddings in Catholic
churches. We have frequently given ex-
preston to our strong objections against
the celebration of marriages in the afternoon
or. evening. We do not wish to hurt the
feelings of any person concerned, but
speaking broadly and generally, we should
be heartily glad to see custom SO thor
oughlv opposed to the spirit of the church
abolished altogether. It will not do to
plead the paltry excuse that late hour is
more convenient for such affairs. The real
truth of the matter lies in the fact that at
ternoon weddings are fashionable. The
wealthy Episcopalians of the eastern cities
are returning to the practice Of their Trans
atlantic coreGgionists in celebrating their
marriages in the morning, in some cases
accompanied by the communion service of
the book of Common Prayer, which is a
mutilated copy of our own Solemn Sacri-
fee of the Mass We merely mention this
fact for the edifcaion of those who are
trying to be fashionable; in fooling them
selves to the top of their bent it wonld be
well to include what is good in their slavish
imitation as well as what is simply sidicu-
| lous.

The reduction of the rate of interest,
which is regarded as blessing to the very
large borrowing class, and especially at the
VESTS not favorable to those who are almost
most entirely dependent upon incomes de-
rived money at interest. In the old states
there are large number of people of this
class, and their complaints are frequently
voiced through the press. When one re-
members that while any person to whom a
few years ago $4,000 in government SKIES
was left as a legacy would have then
received 81, 500 a year, to-day that same
beneficiary would get only 1872 year, the
difficulty of making''both ends meet, when
also the cost of living has increased, is very
obnoxious. ----------

NEW YORK sENATORSHIP.

On the 25th, the ballots were taken, at each
of which the democrats raised the point of or
der that quorom had not voted. The chair
decided the point of order was not well taken,
as quorum of the convention had voted and
declared no choice. There is now some more
talk of republican caucus, and still more of
adjournment without election.
On Monday 9th ballots were taken for each
vacancy, without much change from previous
votes.
On Tuesday, 2sth, Senator Sessions was in
dicted by the grand jury for bribery. Two
thousand dollars bail was furnished and SEES
sions released The grand jury have also, it is
said, found indictments against A., D. Barber
and E. I. Phelps of lobby fame. It is expected
that others will be indicted soon. The moict-
ment of Sessions destroyed all chances OF an
immediate compromise on an election or adj
journment ballot was taken with the usual

On Wednesday, 29th, the regular ballots
were taken with the usual results. There are
indications that the struggle is approaching an
end, but they may disappsint as heretofore.

/ thought was singing my boy to sleep
with the little ballad of which the above Is
the chorus; but the blue eyes opened, and
the quiet voice said, Mamma, you amt
always gentle" In self justification 1 re-
piled, "but you know, darling, mamma has
to scold when you're naughty"
"Yes'm." The argument dropped; so
did Inc little head upon my bosom. I did
not finish the song, nor have I sung it
since. Tenderly tucking in the little truth
teller, reproached myself for deserving
his remark, and gently questioned the truth
of my answer. Do mothers ever have to
scold? Has scolding any legitimate place in
the family government? How is the word
defined? Railing with clamor; uttering
rebuke in rude and boisterous language. !"
Is this helpful adjunct to parental author
ity? Why do Christian parents sometimes
scold? For two reasons, it seems to u.s..
First. for lack of self control; second,
from habit. Children are often terribly
trying, and loud and angry tones seem a
safety valve FOR our stirred tempers. Be-
sides, we feel that gentleness alone can
never safely steer the family bark over
lifes troublous sea. Force, frmness, de-
| cision, sternnsss, even severity, are oft7
necessary. A suitable degree of these Il
not incompatible with gentleness. It X
not synonym for weakness. The gentle
ness that makes one great, comes From
subdued strength. This lovely fruit of the
spirit proves an element of power. The
soft answer" often costs the answere1
dearly. Sweetness Of spirit is the out
growth of self-control. Serenity of soul
whatever be the constitutional character
istics, comes most frequently from lone
self discipline and prayful struggle.

Two lovers were out for morning walk
in the leafy aisles OF a New Jersey forest.
The birds sang blithely upon the boughs,
the early sunshine quaffed the dew from the
grass and petals, and all nature seemed to
lejoice like a bride on her wedding day.
The maiden gathered violets, arbutus, and
cowslips, while he gathered what he sup
posed to be white kitten that had taken
refuge in the hollow of long departed tree
Miserable fate! Strange catastrophe! I'm

MISS ANNA DICKINSON says she IS
through with public speaking forever,
though it would give her great deal OF
satisfaction to express her views on the
condition of political affairs. Anna says
there is an element of the republican party
which ought to be cut off-that it is better
that the party should remain in the minor
ity until they can gain sufficient legitimate
strength to succeed again than that they
should be loaded with such an element, re-
ferring to the Conkling crowd.
