Discussing the Educational sBill
i'm the Senate.

WASHINGTON, March 90 German pre-
sented and read the e.memoriali. of the Balti-
more yearly meeting of Friends, urging the
Senate to ass the education bill now be-
fore it. German in presenting the ,lmemc.
rial, remarked that the society of Friends
had themselves contributed $500. 900 to-
ward the education OF all classes of litter
ates in the South, and were much inter
ested in the question of education every.
where.
The Senate took up the ill reported
from the Committee on Indian Affairs pre-
yiding for the allotment of the lands in
severalty to the Indians on the various res
ervations, and to extend the protection of
the laws of the States and Territories over
the Indians. An amendment was adopted

chase price paid to the indian tribes for
any of their lands shall be Withheld for 25
years, interest to be paid during the time

The Oldest Magazine in America

Although nearly every one knows Of
Godeys Lady's Book, it is not generally
known that it is the oldest monthly publi-
cation in America. Established in 1880, it
has outlived all other magazines, and might
with propriety be called the mother Of mag
and women remember it as un entertainer
when tAeir hearts were young. and young
people associate it with their first introdue-
ton to stories of romsnce. And the rising
generation find it as pure and interesting
as did its parents. ay, as its grandparents
did in days Of "Auld Lang Syne." 1t is an
old and well remembered landmark in our
American literature, and we doubt not that
many of our readers will recall with it
pleasant memories of other days. The
young editor and proprietor, who now pub
fishes it, has evidently determined that all
who seek to renew their acquaintance with
the old favorite shalln be disappointed
AS viewed mechanically, it is excelled by
none. while its corps OF literary contrib
utors includes many of the best known
names of magazine writers. 1t certainly
speaks well for it and our peopls, that.
the enormous efforts made
by the publishers OF the numerous penny
it finds such large patronage,
not only in America, but all over the
world. Although its low subscription price
80 90 year, may somewhat influence It's
large circulation, we are inclined to ascribe
its popularity to intrinsic merit, and we
most cordially bid the old book God-speed
IN its second half-century.
