There were many pretty female faces at the Philomathian last Thursday evening. The significant paper of Mr. John H. Lawson, no doubt causeu the females to come out in force to ascertain what Mr. Lawson knew about marriages. His subjectwas, Human selec- tion, its application to marriages. His reasons were good and diction smooth and logical. He said that the animal creation consists of individuals. Human selection is the superintendence of man’s supervision over natare’s creative power. He concluded by giving several reasons why per- sons should mary. 1st. Never let your marriage re- duce you in social rank, let it, if possible elevate you. 2nd. Never marry an unhealthy person. 8d. Steer clear of dangerous rocks of hybridity, in other words seek that type to which you are mostly to attain. 4th. Never marry unless there is an apparent way of support, either that you already have something or available means therefor. The paper was discussed by Mr. T. M. Dent, who agreed with the essayest to some extent. Mr. Hall created great laughter and _serverely criti- cised city young ladies who go to the country. Mr. Morris of the Indianapolis World and Cleveland Plaindealer didnot agree with Mr. Lawson. He thought that persons should marry poor if necessary. His address was frequently applauded and seem- ed to meet the approval of all who heard it. Hon. Solmon G. Brown will read next Thursday evening, on our Present state of Knowled ge. see RELIGIOUS NOTES. Rev. W. H. Holmes has returned from Caroline, Co., Va., to his eharge in this city, the Israel Bap- tist church. Throughout this city religious interests have been fully developed this winter. There are but few churches which have not gone into special revivals this season, and the result has been nearly a thous- and conversions. The Virginia Avenue Baptist church, is busily engaged in ar- ranging its subscriptions and _col- lections of $1,000, on Sunday, May the 8th. This is the week for the calling to the permanent pastorate of the Zion Baptist church, @ minister. At this writing great excitement prevails among the members, and much anxiety among the aspirants for the position. As the public generally is in- terested in the welfare of this large and prosperous field, the ouly names discussed so far, are Revs. William J. Howard, the present supply, and John Ander- “son Taylor of Richmond, Va., with the chances in favor of the first named. The churches of Washington with their Sabbath Schools, are iv a better condition than the pas- tors; for they can and do hold con- ventions, associations, and unicns among themselves, but the minis- ters cannot bold a conference, even for the accommodation and reception of visiting miuisters to this city. The above shows that the church- es are looking forward to living issues, while the preachers are living only by the dead. The Wheeling Street Bethel A. M. E. church, Dr. Asbary pastor, and the Nazareith Baptist church Lincoln st., Rev. C. C. Laws, pas- tor, are anticipating a good time. A Pittsburg letter tells of the people in general; but more par- ticalarly of the moral improve- ment of the people. Rev. Henry Scott writes from Providence, K. I. that the Congdon street Baptist church, of which he is pastor, and in common with other churches, is in a prosperous condition. Rev. H.N. Jeter of Newport, says he is not behind in his efforts. The funeral services of the late Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, were among the most effective scenes of earth, expressive of human sym- pathy and appreciation. Besides the double honor with which he was counted and shown by God’s people, the day was de- voted to, and consecrated into. a public holiday by the city authori- ties, to his sacred memory. Be— tween 30,000 and 100,000 people looked upon _his ever memorable remains. He was a member of one of the largest families iu the United States and was among the most remarkable men of the world. —— arr THEY SAY THAT, There was another peculiar case of dropsy on Capitol Hiil. The patient has left the city for her health. This is # case for investi- gation. Gentleman do catch on? Dropsy is agreat word when females become indisposed. What of it? Dropsy is a good recommendation tor a promotion in a 5th grade school. It had better Drop betore a bumb- shell is exploded. These men cannot be ignorant of facts. It is agood case for the Commissioners. R. H. J. Taylor puffed him- eelf to Liberia. He cun beat them all. Men in authority ehould first find out who commits an error before they accuse worthy young ladies. Matthews will be chief of the Bureau of Printing and Engrav~ ing. ; Judge Snell of the Police Court will succeed Ion. Arthur McArthur. Capt. Wall and Mr. Hewlett were only infun. The captain is a good and upright man. Mr. Hewlett felt like joking and the captain went on the war- path for him. Help those who don’t help you and you will be rewarded after many days with a rebuke. Persons who become too busy to see you after their ends are accomplished are often compelled to do that which is to their detriment. Use a man all you can and tell him afterwards that you have no time to comply with his request. If there areany guilty - of this please catch on before itis too late. Officials who make promises and don’t fulfill them are in dan- ger of being decapitated. Honest men generally do what they say. Negro pimps are numerous in the government departments. Captain Wall should not be abused, he is the most liberal Negro in the community. He pays for what hegets, which is mure than many dv who have more money to spend. The buok buyer who bought some stolen b oks trom a mes— senger in the Interior Department should be made tv ehow up. He told the Secretary that le didu’t know the man. Let Mr. Lemar investigate it or call on the Begg as to where it received its infurmation $20.00 books sold for 75 ets is a greut speculative deal for the book buyer. “Trath bas a quiet breast,” says Avon’s bard, but when the breast is racked with a cough it can not be qniet. Try a bottie of Dr. Bull’s cough syrup. The cough it will stay, the soreness allay, and you will bless Dr. Bull for many a day. 25cents. CLARA TO LOUISE. Dear Lou :— My last letter to the Household was crowded out I suppose, at any rate it did not ap- pear as it should in answer to your very interesting letter of March 12th. You must admit that our position relative to morals in the community is being sustain- ed every day. 1 understand that there is another case of dropsy on Capitol Hill. The ladyis said to be giving in a state of decline, hence she has left for her health. Rather cold part of the country to go to cure consumption. Con- sumptives generally go to Florida. I shall wait and see what actions will be taken by the officials before I make known to the commission- ers their duty. It is about time this matter should come to a halt. I suppose that you have beard of Mr. Trotter’s sick- ness, the death of Miss Georgia Dyson, and trustee Johnsons’ son Henry? I understand that Mr. Trotter is improving and will no doubt be out in afew days. Mr. Johnson has our sympathy on the death of his sou. Miss Dyson was a most estimable lady from one of the first families in this city. It has been but a few months since her mother died. The family has met with sad affliction within a few months. One by one our friends are passing away. I should like very much for the school board to cousider the pro- priety of increasing the number of admissions to the High school. I[ only make this as a@ necessary sug- gestion, believing that it would tend to satisfy all. It is very un- tair to have pupils graduating from the High school and only a certain number are allowed admis- sion and the others are not permit- ted to go backward or forward. This evil should be remedied im- mediately. The two cuts that appeared in the Critic of our sapervising prinei- pals with a sketeh of their lives were very commendable. I think there could be a better © system for the government of OUR SCHOOLS. We shall first take our High school. The principal should be allowed to make such changes as in his opinion will better promote the success of that school. I un- derstand that there are three pro— nunciations of latin; two with En- glish, Continental and the Ro- man. What will the pupils know when they come out of school? It the principal isto blame it should be known and on theother hand if the teachers will not be governed by the principals the board of trustees should take it in charge. Men in official positions are often governed by social influence. If our High School is governed upon such a basis the Commissioners should take theschool in charge. Lam in favor of abolishing the board of school trustees andallowing the Superintendents and the Com- missivuers to control the schools. Oar schools never were better gov- erned than uow under the super- vision of the Distriet Commission- ers. I would suggestin place of a board of trustees a board of corree- tors, with power to make such recommendation to the Commis- sioners necessary forthe better government of the schools. Let this board pass on the intellec- tual and moral fitness of teachers and thesame reported month- ly to the Commissioners. I understand that there are some teachers who refuse to say the Lords Prayer. Ifsuchis the case I hope that our supervising principals will investigate it. [ shall visit Philadelphia next week to attend the first ball and carni- val by the Edmonia Social Club, which I understand will be quite a grand affair. Until then Remember yours truly, CLARA.
