asserts
i£«j#,that the increase' in 1flie number of adnlt 'persons in the United States who can vs w^jneither read nor write furnishes a powerful argument to the advocates of the 3#^fc«policy of making at least primary educaton|compulsory. Thus, in 1840,the num-••••w-ifc-eber of adult whites who could neither, jead nor write amounted to 549,850, and 'the same class in 1850 had increased to -S62 89& tfnd in lMO to 1,126,678. As '?.f^he census returns for 1870 have not -been completed, it is impossible to ascertain the exact number of the illiterate pe/sons a: present in the United States but it is estimated that, to the 1,126,575 illiterate white adults of 1860 must be added 91,739 colored illiterate adults and 1,655,800 adult freemen, so that the numin ifaitf country wly) can fead nor -'Write most exceed 2.874.111, and be very nearly three millions.
FROM the Chicago Republiean.yte learn' ihpt the ^umber Of attendants at the FeWle Stlffrige Convention which'" took place in Lower Farwell Hall, on Saturday afternoon, was not so great as to indicate such a sense of suffering on tho part of the sex as to demand much commisseration, even from themselves. In .r. respect to the sexea, about the usual three-to-one proportion was observable the whole number being not to exceed sixty ^persons and perhaps falling somewhat short of that figure. The

What may be the character of the in ^jhabitanU of Spanish America, when the "present motley race is crossed with Amer~.ican blood? This is a question we cannot answer. But it is to Gr&t Brhaifi that the power of the United States is most tt formidable. They can, to a considerable degree, control our intercourse with Ja maica. They mar^beqpmc the ally of the black population in San Domingo*. They may even acquire the possession.of Cuba and in ever & be our rival

Startling Words from Henry Ward Beecher. Henry Ward Beecher preached preach ed on Sunday last a remarkable and start ling discourse, which will create a sensation, if anything which he says in the Plymouth pulpit can effect sveh a result. His text was from the words of Christ— j((l"XQth»it meje can do nothing." John fb^Mihg'hirdiscourse, which was an argument against many of the received orthodox views in regard to the character and attributes of the Almighty, he •aid: "T-h(S modern-view of God's sovereignty is unscript'ural. ^Monarchy grew out parental relations. The word King formerly conveyed the idea of a father and the most resplendent form of fatherhood,, enriched, glorified, ennobled. For the last three thousand years monarchy has been transmuted into a different thing it is odious and ceases to convey the same idea as in Oriental times. Not one person in a thousand ever sees the Governor of New York. He has no personal relation to the governed. He acts merely in accordance with law. No term is.so little calculated to cause a pleasurable thrill as to call God King. Kings to-day are at a discount. Once they were "every inch a king," then they dwindled to the shoulders, and now there is only a head with the crown on it, the rest is the peo4 pie.
Christianity is not only educating men to be better, but to conceive of higher ideas of goodness. We come to know God little by little. All that fills our ideal of human excellence we look for in
him. As mankind rises so do their conceptions of God rise. Men will always follow their ideas of what is true and high. Theologians must keep pace with the srowth of manhood and the best as-
£lUfher
ii rat ions of the best men. There is a moral government than we have yet beefi taught, for ours ha* been drawn not from the strong but the weak side of humanity. God is our Father, but as he ia infinite so he is better than any earthly father. "He so loved the world that he gaveTiis only-begotten Son."
I know I differ from the teachings of many of my brethren when I say it ia blasphemous and infamous to say that God site on his throne creating men that he may damn them. He gave his own son to die that mankind may live. Frame "rvi your conceptions of God from all that is best and noblest in the human relations, ,v5s "and you will be nearest the teachings of the New Testament. There is pleasure in independence, but in dependence also, life has its reclining moods, when it longs to lean and rest. "Without me ye can do nothing," says Christ but he says it a« tjie loving mother says it above the cradle of he? child, and oar hearts should rejoice and say: "I can do all things through Christ, who strengthened me."

A Mistakes IIUMI
That man makes a big mistake who •apposes his persoaal aflfctn take up any (real portion ot pablic iltwlios. Hi is assailed in the newspaper, llor instance. Ho reads it in tho morning in a high state of excitement. He can't eat his breakfast in consequence. He imagines the pablic is equally excited about it, and hasn't the least doubt but what the pablic is going without its breakfast as well as he.
When he goes down town ho is "«-Hw certain everybody in the street car is thinking about that bewqtaperk^tacM, it not talking about it. He meets peopfeon the streek He feels they **t 'Sinljiipg about that article, and the blood mounts to his temples every time a man fodks at him. He daren't looked around him when'he passes a yroapof men, for he knows they ar6 pointing him oot and perhaps laughing at him. He wonders, when ne thinks of it, that, his wife and children didn't, call in the neighbor^ and publicly discard him before he left his house.
Presently he meets an old friend* To his surprise his friend greets him cordially and makes no allusion whatever to the subject uppermost in his mind. At length he falters forth: "Did—did you—did yon see it?" if "See what?" says his friend with a puzzled air,, "Why that—that articfe on me in the paper?8
On you?—in the: paper—(suddenly recollecting), I did see it. That Id, I glanced over it. Fact is I had forgotten all about it." i.,
Glanced over it! Forgottonf all about it! Great heavens! can this he ptisbible?: So thinks the victim of the terrible newspaper outrage. And then if he has atyr sense, it may creep through his hair (hat "leal large
perhaps the publi" large don't feel that consuming interest, in 1iis' affairs' ner thought they did. People are too much engrossed in their own annoyances .and troubles to give much heed to those of their neighbors.
Out of 4 ten thousand rieaders of a' daily paper eight thousand would probable overlook the Item entirely, one thousand might read the heading, five hundred glance over it, four hundred and eighty read-it through and forget it the nept. Minute, nine think about it once during the day on seeing th? subject of the article, and one (the subject) get outrageously mad, believing the eyes of the wofld are inextinguishably fixed upon him for the remainder of his life.
It is very hard to make men believe this, though. We have recently had an illustration of the wav in which an individual sometimes makes himself publicly notorious in attempting to "set himself right" before the public when few besides himself knew he had been set wrong, allowing that he had been. A newspaper paragraph appears regarding some person whose name is kept in the back-ground, and it is forgotten by every one as soon as read, except some man who insists on wearing the coat. We will call him John Smith. John feels immediately impelled to publish a card over his awn name, calling attention to the paragraph, declaring he
is the individual mefcnt, and
"it's no such thing." That is the first the general public know such a para graph had been published, that there is a man by the name of John Smith in the city, or that he was the man indicated!
Some people might save themselves a heap of trouble by discarding the ide& that the public are overseeing their litjtle personal affairs to an absorbing extent.— Oin. Times.
A New
Version of an
Old
Story.
I commenced being good at a y^ry early age, and built myself up on the best models. I was yet an infant, whep 1 read the affecting story of hacking down the cherry tree by George .Washingtbn, and his manly statement to his 'father that he could not tell a lie. I„ read the story and it filled me with a desire to sur? pass him. I was not going to allow any «uch a boy as George Washington, if he did afterward get to be President, to excel me in the moralities. Immediately I seized an axe, and cut down the most val* uable cherry tree my father hadj and more, I dug up the roots and burned the branches, so that by no means could the variety be produced, and I went, skating one Sunday, so that I might confen jthe, two faults, and be wept over and forgiVen oh account of my extreme truthfulness. The experiments were, I regret to say, partial failures.. I was very much like Washington, but the trouble was my father did not resemble George Washington's father, which was essential to the success of my scheme.. "Did .you cut down the cherry tree?" asked he. "Father, I cannot tell a lie, I did it with my little hatchet," I answered atriking the proper attitude for the old gentleman to shea tears on me. But lie didn't shed. He remarked that he had rather I had told a thousand lies than to have me cut down that particular tree, and he whipped me till I was in a state of exasperated rawness. MY skating idea was no less a failure .I broke through the ice that Sunday and was pulled out. with difficulty—and a boat-hook. As I lav sick for a month with a fever, I didn't get a chance to get off the Washington remark.—Mark lwain..
A CHICAGO paper says: "Mr. William M. Ampt, Prosecuting Attorney of Hamilton, Ohio, tried bis first case on Tuesday. Charles Wilson was indicted for stealing a 'horse.' The jury returned a verdict of not guilty, and the defendant was discharged, because he stole a 'gelding.' Mr. Ampt, who is of strong German proclivities, is now devoting himself to ass-idnous study of the city directory and Mr. Greeley's voluminous works on farming, in the' hone of finding out the generic difference between geldings and horses."
THE furnace-owners of Western Pennsylvania held a meeting in Sharon, Penn., one day last week, at which forty-eight furnaces were represented. It was contended at this meeting that the high price required for Lake Superior iron-ore is an injury to their business, and committees were appointed to confer with the ore and railroad companies, to secure, if possible, a reduction of the price of ores, and of the expense of dockage, lake and railroad freights, labor at furnaces, &c., that they may produce pig-iron at less cost, and thus meet competition. 2
BARON VON RICKTHEFEN has been making some geological explorations on an inland tour from Canton to Pekin. He reports that the province of Shansi, which lies west or south of Pekin, has an immense extension of coal and iron deposiu. The southern half of the province^ and probably the northern, is an almost continuous coal-field, containing anthracite of the best quality, in layers from twelve to thirty feet thickness.
MR. BUCKINGHAM SMITH, once United States 8enator from Florida, died recently at Belle Vue Hospital, Nt»w York, of combined consumption and diabetes, hastened by an overdose of chloroform. He has been in impoverished circumstances, of late, and was taken to the hospital while unconscious in the street. Mr. Smith was once Secretary of the Legation to Spain and translated the life of De So* to and other works from the Spanish.
THE Peruvian Government has started an exploration of an almost unknown region under its nominal jurisdiction, bat no* in the possession of hostile Indians, to the eastward of the Andes. The first
report* are chiefly interesting as showing that the Indisns are so far acquainted with metallurgy as to have iron rounderies in successful operation, with furnaces, anvils, and other appliances, using also coal in their process.

As we glance back over the work accomplished in- seven short months, we are sure onr customers will not wonder at our feeling a little slated at our nnusoal, bnt not to us, unexpected snccess. Onr first visit to Terre Hrate convinced us that here, of all the cities in this State, was most needed a reform in tke vicious system upon which the Dry Goods business was being conducted. The motto of this sys-* tem was, "Secure the very largest profit possible bn every dollar's worth of foods sold." We believed a change was needed and that the people would generoaslya support any firm who, disregarding the machinations of the old high-priced stores, would dare to write over their doora this opposite motto, ''Sell every dollar's worth? of goods at the smallest possible profit consistent witli safe business principles." Ia pursuance of this idea we marked out our course and have pursued it without fear or favor. We expected opposition, for we had been informed of the .plans laid for oordiscomfiture. We were not even sure that thia opposition might not take the form of personal violence, so when the high-priced stores took this way to bolster up their failing fortunes, we were hardly disappointed.
