A Plano Made OF Pretty Girls.

A strawberry and ice cream festival was
given in the North Avenue N. E. Church,
Allegheny, last evening, under the auspices
ofthe Ladies' society, for tie benefit of the
Woods Run NJ. E. church. A novel and
very taking feature was the "Aumani-

from all who we're not willing to place in

which opened the door to the ante room on

aud shoulders of nine Young ladies were
visible above q screen extending the
length OF the room. All the young ladies
wore masks and from their necks hung sus.
pended cord on which was printed musi-
cal note. 1t did not take the audience long
to discover that the "humaniphone" was
simply human piano. 1t was played by
Miss Nellie Schoysr. With q wand she
walked back and forth and each young

ask to be married. There is indeed much
necessity for more discretion among the
ministry in some Of our States. In many
places ministers are to be found who are

CONVICT LABOR IN OUR PENTTEN
TIARY.

The Board of Public Works meet on the
22d inst, and il is understood that the sub
iect Of convict labor will be one important
subject discussed. Governor WILSON, we
learn, in his reply to the letter addressed
to the secretary of the Cigar Msnutactur-
ers' Association, in regard to the employ
meat of conviets in the cigar manufacture,
Is in favor Of sboishing, as soon as prac-
tcable, all employment of convicts in our
peDiteDtisry that will ipjIre our industries
By competition. The finances Of our State
are now 10 such a condition, he thinks,
that this can soon be done, and it is
thought that he willrecommsnd measure
looking to this end in his next message to
the Legislature.
The position taken by the Governor and
the expected action Of the State Board OF
Public Works, viii be gratifying to the
people of this section of the State. Convict
labor has already driven one important
Wheeling industry wagon making) almost
out of the field, and is now fastening its
teutscles upon others. The nesrneas Of
the Penitentiary to Wheeling makes the
convict labor problem a very threatening
one to some of our industries, if the Legis
lature does not take the matter in hand
This we now hope and believe will be done
The convicts will be employed in such g
roy as to de ,lcp tho State rather thar
SAD the life of It's industries.

Many OF our citizens regret that these two
excellent educators are not on the Exam
ing Board. No other position 30 greatly
demands the best talent. 1t is certainly
unfortunate that the Law provides the nom
ination OF teachers for this institution by
the county superintendent. And when au
officer is so disposed he may exclude the
better teachers from the Examining Board,
although were their names presented they
would frequently be chosen unanimously.
ANY intelligent teacher would prefer being
examined by Board Of Examiners com.

stitnte has been success. and Harrison

IMPRISONMENT FOR DEBT.

Governor HILL last week signed the bill
passed By the New York Legislature, lin
ting to six months the confinement in
prison, for debt. So much so good, but it
would have been better had the disgrace
full law been wiped entirely off the statute
books. This will Iberste the victims now
languishing in Ludlow Street Jail, because
they are too poor to pay their debta. 1t is
remarkable that this bsrbsrous law has so
long been in existence in the great Empire
State. 1t is one of the most foolish ideas
ever concocted by human brain
to think that poor men can pay
their debts by putting them in prison. II
men pay their debts they must have some
thing whereWith to pay, and how else can
they have this except by being allowed the
privilege Of making it2
In our State men can not be imprisoned
on account of debt, unless it is contracted
by fraud or deception. In this case it is
not in fact for the debt but for the crime
of fraud or deception. They are thus sub.
isct to the criminal law. Such a law as
this ia all that is Just, in our State or any
other State, end New York could profit by
adopting il.

THE A. N. 4. CONFERENCE AND MA.
FRIMnNy


While several religious denominations
have recently been giving considerable
discussion to the question of marriage
and divorce, they have been sll eclipsed BY
the rules adopted by the annual conference
Of the African Methodist Episcopal Church.
Rules were laid down for the guidance Of
their members in making a matrimonial
choice, one of which is this: Parents
should look more carefully after their chill.
dren and see when and how they marry.
Instead of marrying for money or on &C
count OF personal attractions, the manner,
mind and morals of the young man
should be considered, and the character
and common sense of the young woman.
We recommend that youngmsn and young
women be rational in selecting life part.
ner and not take the rake or tartar an
indolent person or fop."
Another rEis adopted was that efforts
should be made to seoure stringent divorce
laws and that ministers ahould never
with but few exceptions, marry divorced
persons, and should use more care in
