THE VIRGINIA HISTORICAL SOCIETY,"
We have been gratifed at the widespread
favor with which the new series of valua-
BILE publications Of the Virginia Historical
Society has been received in this country
and in Europe. The current number OF
the Pennsylvania Magazine of History
and Biography, published by the Penn
sylvania Historical Society, devotes over
two pages to review Of the last publica-
ton of our State society, The Dinwiddie
Papers, Vol. L., which is most warmly
commended. 1t says:
"The letters in the volume before us cover five
hundred and twenty-eght closely printed octave
pages, and the reader will at once appreciate how
impossible IL Is To compress within the limits OF

Nominally, Imprisonment for debt is
abolished in this State by statute, but in
reality we continue to incarcerate hu-
man beings because they are unable to
meet their liabilities. One of the curl
osities o. the law on this point has just
been unearthed in Monticello, Sullivan
County, N. Y. Four years ago man
was arrested there on an execution foi
thirt, dollars ard sent to jail. He has
ever since remained a prisoner, and
seems to be quite content with his lot
and the care the law has bestowed
upon him. Special legislation has been
invoked in order to have the man liber-
ated, Senator Low having introduced a
bill in the Legislature empowering the
Sheriff to turn the insolvent debtor out.
What is needed is general law cover
ing such cases 1t is not in Ludlow
Street Jail one that men have been kept
confined for years because they could
not pay their debts, but the practice &c
imprison insolvent debtors seems to
have contributed a fair share to the
inmates of the iails all over the State
The Legis' AZURE should make haste to
do away with this relic of barbarism.-

Thrift Defended and Commended.

Both the ability to make money anG
the disposition to save it are highly
commendable. People say, every day
IF | were able, | would do so and so. u
They then realize what they lose by not
being able. Few men have reached
middle age without having seen chances
to engage in pro nising enterprises ex
cept for lack of capital capital thai
they would not stand in need of had
they been saving. Every right-minded
man must be sick of listening to the
filings that are made at rich men, simply
because they are rich. 1t is rebuking
economy and thrift, for few men, how
ever large their income, become ricl
unless they possess these qualities. Let
it be retained in mind. too, that the
proligacy of the m my make the few
rich. Ii every man and woman would
save all that he or she could, there
would be less money to flow into the
Golfers of the ''bloated bondholders.
There are dozen persons, who do not
practice the habit of saving, to one who
does. consequently the money from the
d zen pockets is gradually going into
the one.
No matter how small salary a man
gets he should make an effort to save
portion of it, and, barring sickness OF
other misfortune, he can usually do it.
The savings of one week may be small,
but the savings of many count up.
Saving may be an effort at first, but
finally it becomes easy. and not only
elsl but pleasure. 1t does not call
for stinginess or meanness. Itcalls for
self denial and thoughtfulness. Money
is the right hand assistant ofthe nobler
aspirations of humanity. The rich good
man is of more account in the world
than the poor good man The former
is he who builds hospitals, schools,
churches and galleries of art The
plans and desires of the other stop
short o fruition. It is discredit to
man to spend his money foolishly.
Many a Young man thinks it gives him
an elevate standing in the ewes o. So
c;ety if he scatters his money with
lavish hand. 1t does not, except in the
eyes of the poorest part of society. 1t
is evidence that he is not rightly
balanced. That for which we give our
strength and youth we should retain, if
possible. Money is the recompense for
labor, and labor demands our strength
and consumes our youth. The result
should not be frittered Chicago

The most accurate figures which

and its religious condition in 1880 are
as follows: Total population 1,4S3
millions, divided up into eight millions
Jews, LIS millions Mohammedans, AS
millions Christians and S35 millions
Pagans. 1t will thus be seen that the
number of those who may be ranked

Speaking about histories of the
United States for schools the Mobile
(Ala.) Register says: ut is important
that children should not imbibe err
roneous impressions in regard to the
history of their country. They should
not be written from preiudieed or
partisan standpoint. They should give
facts, and not indulge in dispositions.
Especially should we of the South be
careful that children do not receive err
roneous impressions in regard to the
great struggle between the sections.
We do not think that school history
should treat the war from a Northern
or from q Southern standpoint. 1t
should simply give record Of events.

White reports that only about half these
scholarships have been in use at any
one time, and that many districts have
never sent to the university a student.
This state of things appears to be
largely due to the failure of teachers
