Worry.

Why is it that we allow ourselves to
be worried? In many instances, the
smallest trihes completely upset us, and
then we fret, rush about and try to do
several things at once, and all the while
doing nothing. This way. of living
makes life intolerable. Teach yourself
to keep cool, and what is undertaken, do
it Understandings. Life is to short to
fret and worry. Try to get along with

plaster" and makes labor lighter. Be
in good spirits and work will be easier.

the doings of the arrangements Of the
different Soldiers Orphans Schools in
Pennsylvania
EVENING TELEGRAM,
Floundering in the treacherous quick
sands of disgrace, every attempt of the
branded managers Of the Soldiers Or
phans' Schools to get out of the trouble
only makes their position still more I'M
comfortable. The effort 10 break the
force of public censure on account of the
recent outrageous treatment Of the Ex-
ecutiye ofthe State and the gentlemen
who accompanied him upon the occasion
of his visit to Chester Springs is charac-
teristically puerile and discreditable
The publication of card" of explana-
ton and disclaimer by any of the mis-
used inmates of these schools will only
more firmly convince the people of the
State that all that has been charged, and
more, is true.
EVENING BULLETIN.
The Mercer Soldiers Orphan School,
near Erie, threatens to turn out worse
than any yet examined. 1t is to be hop
ed that the Governor will light doWn
upon it without loss of time. But why
does be not insist on DR.. Higbee going
with him
When the proprietor of one of the
better class of Soldiers Orphan Schools,
like that at Whitehall, refuses to show
his books to the Governor and Attorney
General, it can only mean one thing
that the profits have been so large that
he cannot afford to have them seen.
PHILADELPHIA TINES
The Soldiers Orphans School investi-
CATION appears to be of the kind that in
vestigates.
EVENING STAR.
Superintendent Higbee is now fairly
under fire, situation for which he has
only to thank himself. Had he dischar-
ged his duties to the Soldiers Orphans
Schools as he should he to-day ould
not have cause to vince at the broad
sides being discharged at him from every
section of the State.
HARRIsBuRG PATRIOT.
The story of bad bath-tubs, ragged
clothing and diseaae that came from
Mount Joy was bad enough. The incl
dent that betrayed a wretched system Of
discipline, if not a more reprehensible
condition of morals, at Chester Springs
was worse. But when the children lat
Mercer, lean, ragged and homeless, pre-
sented their petition to the Governor
asking for protection from manage
ment that starved them the very limit of
infamy was exhibited, and if the inhu-
man managers are not sent to prison the
the laws of the State have been enacted
TO poor purpose.

| Eight hundred men were at work
at the Mccormick reaper factory
yesterday morning, out of the l, 400 who
stopped February 18th, owing to the re-
fusal of the company to discharge the
four non-Union men. The workmen held
a meeting in the morning at which they
conceded the right of Mccormick to en-
ploy and discharge whom he chose, but
made some minor demands before return

extended fourteen inches across the back

THE APPROPRIATION BILL.

The Herald of this morning puts in 9
whine for Executive approval of the ap
preparation bill, and says the Governor
will not like to accept the responsibility

Territory shall not be paid" ETC.
Reference to the House appropriation
bill as printed this morning (the Council
bill is yet to-be added Sshows that the
total amount is about $l7O, 200, and the
first items in the bill are appropriations
for the salaries of those Territorial officers
whom the Governor claims it as his right
to appoint, and which right the Council
refuse to recognize by declining to con-
firm the nominations he has sent in.
Unless the Council shall confirm the
nominations which His Excellency has
made for the Offices referred to, we hold
