Mr. Boucicault proposes to bring out "Led Astray" in Liondon, this Summer, with Mr, C. R. Thome and Mr. Stuart Robson of the Union Square Theater in the cast. The sale of seats for Miss Cushman's readings, in the Acadmy of Music, has been exceedingly large. In the first entertainment she read selections from "Henry VIII." From 1853 to 1873 the Reformed (Dutch) churches have grovrn from 332 to 481, the ministry from 332 to 501, the families lrom 26,642 to 41,244, and the communicants from 36.597 to 67,123. Miss Genevieve Ward, formerly known in New York as Madame Guerrabella, is continuing her dramatic successes in London. She has lately appeared at the Adelphi in the Sea of Ioe." . , , The United Brethren have just dedicated their first churcn in the city of Philadelphia. It seems 6tranee that in a city ot near 800,000 people and 500 church edifices this denomination has not been represented. The New York ladies to whom was intrusted the funds raised at the WallackDaly matinee performance at the Academy of Music, for the benefit of the poor, have returned one-third of the $30,000 to be distributed among aged and indigent actors. Laughter, pure and simple, says the Saturday Review, involving no call upon the thinking faculties, bringing with it no afterthought of seriousness, is necessary to the happiness of collected humanity, and it seems that what Is called burlesque Is the most convenient means for attaining this end. Salvini has returned to New York from Havana, and v ill begin his farewell series ot performances in the United States in New Haven, on Monday, the 27th instant. He will visit Boston, Hartford, Baltimore, Philadelphia, and- other - Southern -cities. Salvini's farewell appearances in New York will begin on the 8th of June. The growth of the Episcopal church in Colorado will authorize its admission as a diocese by the coming general convention, to be held in October next. There are now thirteen churches building in the territory with, a fair prospect of having several more built during the spring and summer. Manager Max Strakosch has resolved upon another visit to the West before the close of the operatic season. Ills prima donnas will be Madame Pauline Lucca. M'He Torriani and Miss Annie Louisa Cary. He will open for one week at Pike's Opera-house,on Mon day evening, May 18. During the visit, we presume, he will produce Verdi's last opera, "Aida."

Itmolved, That the aecretary of the Pen ate be Instructed to present these resolutions to the House of Representatives. The resolutions were agreed to, and Mr. Boutwelt then began his speech. He spoke of the pure purpose of Mr. Sumner in private and public affairs, tnd said that although at times in Advance of the -people of his state in - hla hontiliv to the institution of slavery nd the reconstruction or the government on the basis of freedom, he uever misrepresented Massachusetts. In the raune of liberty be was an apostle, a martyr, and Anally a conqueror. HI lite, as be often nald, was a lifo of controversy. He was devoted to Hhortv. Not to EneL'sh liberty, or to American liberty, but to liberty. He accepted Jn their fullest renne the words or Kossuili. "Libert" 1m liberty, as God is Ciod." Mr. Bornner wa a follower of Ideas, and. Inclined to trust to' general declarations, and to ' embody thexu in the constitution and laws. He was impatient of delay, and accepted reluctantly those amendments to the rnnktltntJon which to others seemed of suf ficient force for the protection of FEBSOHAI. ASD PUBLIC KIOHTS, therefore in Ithe business of the government and for the time in which he lived, ür. bum ner was not always a practical statesman, hnt hli name will always stand nmong i greater leaders In tne contest for the overthrow slavery, and his lanors, nunj uio niunn?i ia the cause will Justly claim eonslderai Ion In a her lands and from future times. His life. character and public services, especially in favor of human llDerty ana anmrau iwnoe, win ever be held la grateful remembrance by hta countrymen, and the knowledge thereof transmitted to posterity as an example for future generations. Mr.Tnnrman, of Ohio, alluded In feeling terms to the friends bip wnicn naa exuiea Between the diseased senator and himself, and arid he desired to speak not of the politician or the statesman butoi tne man. luesirutuig pecuu.ri t it, of Mr. Sumner's mind were breadth rather than accuracy, devotion lo a great ideal without due regard to Its unavailable limitation. Intellectual rennement, and taste marked his conversation and tne amiaoiuty, mgn breedlne and politeness of his character will ever commend our respect and admiration i tnalr over his crave rar belief that he was freat in intellect, profound In learning, sincere r hia mnTlctiontt. intense in hla frtendshiDS and amiable in Intercourse, ana wnoiiy Unas' aaiiahia bv corruDtion. All this I can truly say. and more than this, be would not, If living, wish me to say. He would not ax It me to surrender my well maintained opinions, or to applaude his views or ms course wnen mey were upmwhm io th deliberate iudiment of my own raind. Mr. Spencer, of Alabama, tspokeof the many good traits in the personal character of Mr Sumner, of his ability as a statesman, of his eflorts against the evils of human slavery. lr. Morrill, of Vermont, referred to his per sonal loss and to the greater loss of the Senate , itself . by the death of Mr. Sumner. He a'luded to his bril liant efforts in the Senate and said that by a life and unselfish laboring of unstinted in tne- cause of humauity. he secured tne undying gratitude of an emancipated race, and the general ap proval of nianaina. l pon intern auonai law ne was more proiounaiy leameu mau upon the subjects which mo6t contributed to build ud and suppoit bis reputation.

Mr. Pratt, of Indiana, said, as a legislator and statesman, Mr. Sumner deserved to be held up aian example to others. He was earnest and unswerving in nis convictions, rhu aeoted his .rears from early manhood to the overthrow of human Blavery and the cause of civil rights. 11 was no mere passion for notoriety that Inspired htm. Henceforth Mr. Knmner would divide with the martyred Llntoln the love and respeat of the colored rare. No one ever ventured to assau me purity or Mr. Sumner's public or private life. In conclusion be sent to the clerk's desk, and bad read, the Dream ble and resolutions adopted by the colored people of Loginsport, Ind. Mr. Sargent, of Calafornia, spoke of the courage, manliness ana nign acmevemenia or Mr. Sumner. . . Mr Sherman, of Ohio, said thai ai no previous period of Mr.Sumner's life would his death have caused such a general sorrow. The heat of recent conflicts was passing away, and Charles Sumner was by the Judgment ol his associates here, by the love and confidence of his confluents, by the general voice of the people, the fore most man in tne citu aervice oi the United State. True, the criticism ef his course Is that he has often been so eat r lo the advance that be did not sufficiently look to practical measures io secure the progress already made. Mr. Sumner was aggressive. He could brook no opposition. He was alwaya for a clean victory or a clean defeat. He would not yield even on minor points, and would often fight for a phrase, when he endanfered a principle. He would sometimes urn his warfare upon his best friends when they did not keep exactly abreat with him. This feature of ms character lay at the foundation of many of his controversies with hla associates and was the weakest points of his character. Mr. Sherman spoke of the industry, fixed convictions, steady purpose and honesty of Mr. Sumner, and concluded as follows: "May we be so guided nere mat wnen our time comes our associates may De ante to truiysayoins something of the good that is this day said of Charles Bumner.

A mesace beinsr received from the Senate In reference to the death of Senator Sumner, Mr. V.. B. IIoar,of Massachusetts, offered a resolution, that as an additional mark of respect to the memory of Charles Sumner, long a senator from Massachusetts, and in sympathy with the action of the Senate, business be now suspended in the Houie to allow fitting tributes to be paid to his public and private virtue. The resolution was adopted, and Mr. E. R Hoar addressed the House In eulogy of Mr. Sumner. Mr. Hoar alluded to Mr. Sumner's life, and gave a brief history of his career to the hour of his death, which he attributed to the assault of Preston Brooks. Tkere was
no doubt that ha died a martyr for the cause of liberty, as well as they who
fell on the field ot battle. The bludgeon preceded the bayonet, and the battle the civil war, which began long before 1861, and did its work of death as surely. ir more slowly. Mr. Hoar paid anign tribute to Mr. Sumner's great honesty and Integ rity, and , summed np by applying to htm the emogy tnst has been pronounced on Milton He allnded to Mr. Sumner's dying remark that .

F. hoar, of Maasaehustta, Congor, of xBicoigan, ana runups, or nansaa. ine most notable speech was that of Mr. Lamar, of Mississippi, as follows: Mr. Speaker: I rise to second the resolutions presented by the member from Massachusetts. I believe that they express a sentiment wnicn pervades tne Hearts of all tne people, strange as In looking back upon the past, the assertion may seem. Impossible as I would have been, ten years ago, to make, It Is not less true that to-day AiisMSNippi regrets tne a earn or cnariea Sumner ana sincerly unites in payiag honors to bis memory, i It is not because of the splendor of bis Intel ect, hot because of the high culture, elegant scholarship and varied learning which revealed themselves so clearly In all bis public efforts as to Justify the application to him of Johnouua iciixiiiuiu expression: tie toucnea ho ming wnicn be did sot adorn not this, but be cause or those peculiar and strongly marked moral traits of b Is character, which gave color In g to the whole ten er of his singularly dramatic public career, making him, for aiflong period, to a large pon ion of his countrymen, the oDject ot as deep and passionate a hostility as u auHwrc ne was one oi enmusiastio admiration, and which are not the less the causa that now nnites all these parlies, so widely differing, in m common sorrow to-day over his lifeless remains. Mr. Lamar went on to speak of the nign moral qualities of Mr. Sumner, and or tne characteristics which . brought the m ufctr tons ienator. Just passed away. Into dlrec' and bitter antagonism for years with his own state and her sister states of the South. Charles Sumner was born with an Instinctive lore for freedom, and was educated from his earliest infancy to the belief that freedom is th natural right of all having the outward form f man. io oenoid a human being or a race of human neings : deprived or . what he deemed their natural right to liberty for no crime they had committed was to feel all the belligerent Instincts of his nature aroused to combat. The fact was to him a wrong which no logic could J ustiiy. It mattered not to n.m now numoie id tne scale of rational beiuir .i Li ...1.1 . i . . ... . ; t tue suuieci oi wis restraint miKQi ne. now irir hie skin, or how dense his lgnoranee. Behind ail that, lay for him the great Drinclnle that lib erty is the birthright of all humanity, and that every lnoiviauai oi every race who has A SOUL TO SAVE Is entitled to the freedom which mav mihi mm to won out nis salvation, it, matters not to him that the slave might be con ten tedwith his lot, that his actual condition mltht be mea surably more aesirabie than that from which it naa iranspiamea mm, mat it gave him pbysi cal comfort, mental elevation, and religious truth possessed by him in no other condition, that his bonds bad not been placed upon his hands by the living generation. That the mixed social system of which he formed an element that had been regarded by the fathers of the reoublicand th hw statesmen who bad risen up after them, as too complicated to do Drogen without danger to society Itself, or even civilization, or finally that a natural s'ate of things had been recognized, and explicitly sanctioned by the very oreanic law oi tne repuouc. v eighty as tnese consider atlons might be, formidable as were the dlfflcul ues in the way of the practical enforce ment or the great principal, he held it not the less that It must sooner or later be enforced, though Institutions and consututlous should have to give way alike before It. But here let me give this great man the Justice, which amid the excitements of the struggl between the sections now past I may have been disposed to deny him. In his fiery zeal and his earnest warfare against wrong, as he viewed It, tnere enterea no enauring personal animosity toward men whose lot it was to be born to the system which he denounced. It has been the kindness and sympathy, which in lufse later years be has displayed toward the impoverished and sunermg people of the south em states that has unveiled to me the generous ana lenaer neari wnicn Deal oeneatn the bosom of the zealot and has forced me to vleld to him the tribute of my respect, I might even say of my admiration, itor in manifestation of this has there been anything which a rroud and sensitive people, smarting under the sense of recent discomfiture and present suffering.might not irangiy accept, or wnicn coaid eive them Just cause to suspect its sincerity , for, though he raisea nis voice as soon as ne believed THE MOMENTOUS ISSUES of this great military conflict were declded'on oenair or amnesty io me vanqaisbcd, and though he stood forward ready to welcome back as brothers, find to re-establish In their rights as citizens, those whose valor had so nearly riven assunder the anion which be loved. lie slwavs lDsisted that the most ample protection and the largest safeguards should be thrown around the liberties of the newly enfranchised African race, though be knew ver well that of bis conquered fellow-citizens of t ie south by far the larger portion, even or loose who most heartily acquiesced in and desired the abolition of slavery, seriously onestloned the expediency of investing in a single day, and without any preliminary tutelage so vast a body of Inexperienced and unlnstructed men with the fall rights of citizenship and suffrage. He would telerate no half measures upon a point to him so vital. It was certainly gracious act towards the South. though it unhappily jarred upon the sensibilities or tne people at the other exextreme of the Union to propose to erase from the banners of the national army tb s mementoes of the bloody Internal struggle which might be regarded as assailing the pride or wounding the sensibilities of the southern people. That proposal will never be forgotten by the people so long as the name if Charles Sumner lives in the memory of man. but while it touched their hearts and elicited their profound gratitude they would not have asked of the north such an art of self-renunciation. Conscious that they themselves were animated by devotion to constitutional liberty, and that the brightest pages of their history are replete with evidence of the depth and sincerity of that de votion, they can but cherish tne recollections of battles fought and victories won in defence o' their hopeless cause and respecting as all true and brave men must respect the martial spirit with which the men or tne nortn vinaicatea tne integrity of the Union and their devotion to the principles of human freedom, they do not ask that, do not wish the north to strike the mementoes of heroism and victory from either the records on monuments or battle flags. Thev would rather that both sections should gather up the glories won by each section, not envious but proua OI eacn oiuer, anu regara mem as a common heritage oi American vaior. Let us hope that future generations when they remem ber tne aeeus oi HEROISM AND KV0TI0X done on both sides will speak not of the northern prowess, or the northern courage, but of the heroism, fortitude and courage of Americana in a war of ideas, a war in which each section signalized Its consecration to principles as ea-'ih understood them, ana tne uoertyoi theeonstitntion received from their fathers. It was my misfortune, perhaps my fault, personally never to have known this eminent philanthropist and statesman. The impulse was ortec strong upon me to go to h lm and to offer him my hand and ray heart with It, and to express to him my thanks for his kind and considerate course towards the people with whom I am identified. If I did not yield to that Impulse, It was because the thought occurred that other days were coming in which such a demonstration might be opportune and less liable t tcinconstructlon. Suddenly, and without premonition, the day has come at last to wnicn, lor sucn a purpose, mere is no vorn Orrow. My regret is therefore intensified by the thought that I failed to apeak - to him out of the fullness of my heart while mere was yet time. . now oj ten is it uia death thus brings unavailably back to our remembrance opportunities -unimproved, in which genet ous overtures prompted by the least remain nnoffered, frank words which rise to the Hps remain unspoken and in justice and . wrong with which conscience renroached us remain unimpaired. Charles Sumner, in life, believed that all occasion for strife and diitrust between the north and the south had passed away, and that there no longer remained any cause iot contiuuea estrangement between these two portions of our common country. Are there not many of us who believe the same 'theory? is not tnat the common sentiment, or, if not, ought it not to be of the great mass ot our peopie norm and south? Bound to each other by a common constitution, destined to live together under a common government, forming uuiteaiy but a single member of the great family of nations, shall we not now at last endeavor to greet each other once more in heart, as we are already Indissolubly linked to each other in fortunes. Shall we not, whilst honoring the memory of , THIS GREAT CHAMPION of human liberty, this feeling sympathizer with human sorrow, this earnest pleader for the exercise of human tenderness and heavenly charity lay aside concealments which serve only to perpetuate misunderstandings and distrust 2amd frankly confess that on both sides we most ear
neatly desire to be one one not merely in polit
ical organization one not merely In identity of consuiaiion, one not merely in community m language! and literature and traditions and country, but more and better than al that, one aiso id reeling and in heart. Am I mistaken tn this? Do these concealments of which 1 apeak stilt cover the animosities which neither time nor the march of events have vet suffered to subside? I cannot believe it. Since I have been here I have scrutinised your sentiments as expressed not rnerelr In r a bile debate, bus la the abandon of personal confidence. I know well the i sentiments of these my southern trends wtiose hearts are so enfolded that the reeling of each is the feeing of all. audi see on both aides only the seeming ;of a constraint which each apparently hesitates to dismiss.

MEMRERS OF THB FAMILY. A short time ago it, was announced that the old man Bender, of Kansas notoriety. naa oeen ionna in toe mountains some as m . . distance south of Bait Lake City, and of bis arrest and imprisonment. A correspondent of the New York Herald writing from Salt Iake City under date of April 9th, t-ays: The following is the description given of the old man Bender in the circular issued by the authorities in Kansas: Old man Bender Is fifty-five t sixty rears old. about five feet seven inches in height.ron.nd should ered, dark complexioned; has heavy beard, cut BDort; nair long ana a art, mixed with gray; heavy eyelashes, sharp nose, hands spare, with prominent cords on the backs; trait alow and sluggish, weight 140 to 150 pounds. , lie had a sleepy. aowncast iook, ana was grim and surly in nis aeportmenc Iiis voice seeni to come rather from the breast than the month. lie speaks English in a broken manner, his native tongue being Low Dutch, lie has been wandering now ten months over the plains and in the mountains, so that he cannot now appear with "beard shortcut;" it is long and matted with dirt. His complexion is not dark; but with that exception the old man Bender that we have here answers in every particular to the above description. There is nothing ot a fierce murderer's countenance about him. but there is in his whole appearance so little of human intellect that it is easy to believe that he is one of the quartet who murdered and robbed the unfortunate, strangers who chanced to call at the ranche for refresh ments. This Bender was capable of witnessing all such work, and taking any part in it without the slightest inconvenience. A glance at the prisoner here to-day would satisfy any reader of human character that he was capable of doiDg his full Bbare ol the Bender work In the way that the Bender family did it. He is not A DEMORALIZED BEING! he never had a conception of morality he knows nature's wants, and be has thouzht of nothing higher hence to human brüten of that order the Kansas eeries ot murders was a possible and likely thing. In these particulars, then, the prisoner answers phy sical ly, mentally and morally to the Bender of Kansas. The presence of such a stranger in a thinly occupied country where he was apprehended was at once against him. He could not tell where became from.and when informed that he was apprehended on the charge of murder, and that he was supposed to be the notorious Bender, he threw up his hands and drew attention to the fact that the little finger of his rieht hand was entirely gone, and half the little finger of bis left hand wasa'so gone, and added that he could not have committed so many murders.that he was physically incapableof much bad work. Here the French axiom was clear-MHe that excuses accuses himself," and to that he is said to haye remarked "Bender bad not lost his fingers!" Shortly after his arrest in Sevier county he was taken to San Fete county. where there was a jail. Wrile he was held there, a young man, a straDger, asked t see the prisoner, and the jailor admitted him, and the visitor and old Bender had a familiar talk, and gave evidence of a personal acquaintance and interest in each other, in old settled countries this might seem too great a freedom to be permitted, but in the western wilds there is no rule beyond the whim or disposition of the moment. The stranger left, and has since been tracked and arrested as young Bender, and in three days more will be in the same oaiaboae with his father. He answers to the official ad vertisement in all particulars except that in the circular be is said to nave a scar oq one hand, while the scar is found on the other on the young man now in prison in the South I QTJESTTONKD THE OLD MAN to-day, and with the aid of a Mr. W. L. Crane, who was in the office of the county clerk, in Pike county, Illinois, in 1866-7, 1 am satisfied that he answers to the Bender o Kansas. The prisoner admitted that he had brother-iu-law of the name of Scbmidr, who died in Pike county at that time, and that he had been appointed the administrator of his small estate, where and when Mr. Crane bad occasion to see him, and immediately recognized him in jail to-day. Bender admitted to me that he was farming in Kansas after that, and a Mr. E. F. Milhoan, who had been in the employ of the government and supplied the Indians on the Osage reservation, assured me that he had almost daily seen the prisoner at Bender's ranche for months, and knew him to be Bender. Mr. Milhoan was -engaged in con structing a road past Bender's place to the reservation, ana saw no difference in the Bender there and the Bender here than fatigue and restlessness. But the two women are still at large. Late in the fall a woman came out of the monntains Into the outskirts of Provo. forty miles south of this. She was almost naked, and seemed at times mentally deranged. She told contradictory stories of her past life; but gave out that she had been disappointed in love and had Wandered from Colorado into the mountains in Utah. Pity for a woman in distress induced a Mormon sister to give her a home and clothes, and after a little stay the strange woman left again for the mountains. There seems a nrobability that the whole Bender family has been in the Watsatoh range of mountains all winter.

SUGGESTIONS OP MR. JOHN BIOELOW NOT A SHOW BUT AN APPROPRIATE CELEBRA TION A BRIEF PLAN OR STNOPSLS, AND ITS FEATURES OF SIMPLICITY. Nearly a year ago Mr. John Bigelow wrote quite an extended article on the subject of an anniversary of the first century of Amerl can ireeaom ana growth, rnis letter was published in the New York Tribune, "and, appearing at the time when the Philadel phia mongrel show was being hatched, it attracted attention from its candid and sensible presentation of . the question. In the meantime, the Philadelphia centennial bubble having got into congress is creating a great amount of contusion and dissatisfaction, and while the whole affair is muddled inextricably, Mr. Bigelow sends a second letter to the Tribune, giving some suggestions as to the appropriate celebration of such an event. He says that "two impressions seem to have got possession of the popular mind which have contributed not a little to prevent the development of the latent fceliDg of the country on the subject. One is that any appropriate celebration must involve the expenditure of a large sum ol money, and the other, that there is not enough time left to ' do anything worth doing even if the laree sum of money were in haod to do it with." Both of these impressions he believes to be erroneous, and he then proceeds to give what he regards as an appropriate and possible celebration of the important event. For thia purpose he would suggest that the president invite the "requl site number of the most competent men in the country to report to him in as concise a form as possible, WHAT HAS BEEN ACCOMPLISHED during the first century of its national existence in all the different departments of human activity with which they are respectively best acquainted, giving as far as possible every result that would be in any sense a measure of our growth in civilization.' This work could be committed to fifty or a hundred and fifty persons, as circumstances might determine best. He then proceeds to enumerate some of the leading subjects, for sach an exam
ination and report: x. ronticai economy, and incidentally of the various systems oi labor, free and servile, wages, wealth, credit, and the liDancial,vicissitndes of the country; 2. Law and jurisprudence, national and international, including our different systems of proceedure; 3. Education and educational institutions; 4. Religious and ecclesiastical institutions; 5. Humane and charitable institutions; 6. Literature and typography; 7. The press; 8. Electricity and magnetism, and their practical adaptation to the uses ol society; 9. The progress of art, industry and invention, as revealed in the collections at the patent office; 10, The postal service, and its laws of growth and perfection; 11. Agriculture; 12. Population, and the reciprocal influence of our legislation and immigration; 13. The natural sciences ; 14. What has been accomplished toward developing and utilizing the mineral resources of the country; 15. Medical science and incidentally of longevity; 16. The fine arts; 17. Commerce and navigation, ocean, river and lake, and Incidentally of marine and naval architecture; 18. Manufactures; 19. Military and naval inventions, discoveries and achievements: 20. Changes and ameliorations in t he social condition, clothing, nourishment and employments of the people; 21. The Aboriginal and the African Americans; 22. Climatic and meteorologica Studie. Then he proposes that, after these investigations, the reports should be digested and reduced in contents. Then, with the aid of this digest, the president should prepare a discourse of not less than fifteen, or more than thirty minutes, in which he should Interpret the occasion to the world, and in doing so give the most compact possible statement of the essential product which the first century of republicanism In the United States has contributed to human civilization. On the 4th day of July, ISTß, let the president repair to the capitol, or as a special homage to the place in which our people . formally1 ' proclaimed themselves free and ' independent, to Independence Hall , in, Philadelphia, attended by his cabinet,-, by . congress,, by the Supremo ! - Cotirtj,ll ir-by - the diplomatic corps;;and' by tbe'KPVeniors of the several states and territories, and in the presence of these several representatives of our federal Villi j !.' l la Ol ,Jii I ! :.-. It' -s -j.u ;.. k j lijiiii
aid staU sovereignti and of all friend' J . foreign powers, let him pronounce his discourse.' Simultaneously with its dsllveryVT it should be transmitted by the comMrjed - -aid of the greatest ot - American discoveriea and ' inventions, the electric telegraph, to 1 every postmaster in tho republic, and to every agent of the republic in foreign countries throughout the world. The presi- -, , dent's discourse woald necssaaril v be a com- , munlcatlon of " . ; . SCPREXE INTEREST TO ALL THK WORLD. ' . It would be more widely read or listened to : probably; that any single speech that was ever uttered. IU effect would be incalculably enhanced by the fact that it would strike the whole world simultaneously, instead of reaching portions of it, accompanied by the ! criticisms and qualifications which usually' limit the range and power of all human '' discourse. No sovereign or potentate has ' ever had such an opportunity of impressing the world; and the opportunity is rightfully ours, for it is by virtue of onB of the greatest ' triumphs of human genius the achievement of an American that it , is become ; humanly possible to render the ,, opportunity so ' available.1 Among the features of thia plan which Mr. - -Bigelow, thinks should recommend it. are " ' first, because "It is a nat enal Interpretation of the west," and "the president speaks flir the whole nation, to the . whole world." - -; Secondly, in this way the celebration ia brought to every man' door Instead of requiring everybody to go to one place, as Philadelphia for Instauce, and "the president's discourse would of iUelf guarantee the success of local celebrations' an d ' thirdly, it would be ... . COMPARATIVELY INEXPENSIVE. ' ; ' "," "
To these augzestions he also aid others
looking to an increase of its educational inluence. ' He says: "It might be worth whl'e to consider the propriety of offering prizes -tor the best tragedy, the best comedy, and the best opera, each illustrating some period of our national history and the ' manners of our people, the successful pieces to be played in all the theatres and opera houses of the country on the night of the anniversary, the author to be entitled to a " ' '
ouiau ruvauv ior eacu subsequent representation." In closing he says: It has been ,' his purpose rather to assist in determining the direction In which a practicable mode of celebrating our great national anniversary 1 1 is to be found, than to find one himself; and he hopes that he has made it dear that there is "ample time left ns to have an adequate celebration, and one, too, that mcy be grand ' even in its simplicity, without costing the federal treasury half the president's salary '- for a single year." ; . . , . : INDIANA TAXES.

The school tax collected amounts to more than the state tax by a hundred thosand dollars, while the county taxes are over three times as much as the state.
