Tiie days of the sweet girl graduate, the ripening masculine student, the rosebud orator and the blooming can didate are upon us, and we take occa- siou to lift our voice in an appeal for a helpless and long suffering people. Naturally, the appeal will go direct to the class known as “ye locals” of the commonwealth, whose duty it has been to deal enthusiastically with the hurrah season, which lies well in be tween spring and the heart of sum mer. The evil complained of is the reck less and stupied application of the laudatory division of the English lan guage to every one whom necessity or pleasure brings pleasantly before the puhlie. It is an evil felt as deeply by the various locals of oertain commu nities as by the people whom he af flicts^ and bat rarely appreciated ex cept by very young or over ambitions subjects. Why it has grown to pro portions sufficiently large to draw forth comment it is difficult to Bay, nuless it be that susceptible reporters, drawn into s self commitment upon special occasions, have set np a high pressure gauge, and are forced in all instances to insult or toe the mark.— Sowing the wind, they reap the whirl wind. It really seems as though the good old fashioned modes of mention are lost forever. Forty years ago a young lady having read in public an essay might open the morning paper and find it stated that “Miss Curlyhend entertained tho company present with an original composition entitled Thoughts on a June-bug.’” Only this and nothing more. Bat the mod ern reporter wraps himself aronnd the subject much more elaborately.— Taking from bis private drawer hia list of English and anglicized adjec tives, be indites: “Bat the event of the evening was tho recherche treat ment which that novol subject, Thoughts on a Junebng,’ received at the talented hands of Miss G'urly-head. Tuking the bug when he first hurled his rainbow form into the mellow tmimer of a breathing corn field, she followed him through all the devious rulings of his short Lmt active wi lt. Whether ho hung upon the pauses, aud he hears his brokeu sen tenons fall into the listless >-ars of a wearied crowd. In tho morning be has it* “Hon. Percival Jones on lost evening uttered one of the most elo quent addresses ever delivered in this city. He spoke to one of the largest and most enthusiastic audiences ever assembled in oar midst. Taking np the speech of tho scalawag recently outlined in these columns, who aspires to represent this county, he literally tore it to tatters. He brought to bear upon the subject all of the powers of a richly stored mind, and the charms of wonderful eloquence. Hi8 denun ciation was terrific. He bnrled upon the record of his opponent a flood of sarcasm, irony and invective that fair ly made the flesh creep. Once when he raised his right hand aloft and ot tered the stinging sentenoe, ‘ho is a liar,’ his magnificent appearance elec trified his audience into demonstra- tions which prevented his continuing for five ruinates.” The reporter, however, does not paase at this. The male graduate, the newly admitted lawyer, the lately arrived physician, the numerous can didates, tho enterprising showman, all sit easily upon his shoulders and are borne without a jostle. A reform is necessary somewhere. A suspicion has arisen that exaggerations are creeping into print, and there is a Laggard look about the average re porter’s face which bespeaks a strain that cannot much longer bo endured. A EoRltitsiorTf The horrible particulars of a col ored woman who was compelled to stand by and see her daughter burn to death, is given by tho Athens Man ner. It seems that some bands on Mr. D. W. Elder’s place, near Goshen Academy, were clearing off a new ground' and burning the logs and brush. After dinner, most of them left for home, a colored woman and her daughter, aged about eleven years, remaining behind to attend to the fires. It soems that tho little girl begun to punch at a large heap, in full blnzo, when one of the Jogs rolled off, catebiug tho child l>o- ueuth it and holding her seonrely. Her .screams brought the mother her assistance, and the woman did uli , . . in her power to release tho prisoner, golden plumes of the ripening gram, j but tbfl lQg ^ gQ heftvy that her nr httfiari in f.hfi ItZ&GlOllS . .. , , . T ettorts availed naught. In the rneun- THGLIXE-KILN CLUB. buriod himself in the luscious depths of a rosy peach, she was with nim, explaining his every movement, aud mingling Lor gentle philosophy with the hidden emotions of his little wayward life. Her rioh, sympathetic voice fell upon her spell-bound hear ers like the dew of heaven upon the thirsty fields, and beneath the tender charms of her fancy they nestled, even as a lost traveler nestles in the shad ow of a great rook in a weary desert. When she ceased, a burst of applause shook tho building, and flowers rained at her feet until upon her cbeoks the roses cast their tints and flashed a tableau few who witnessed it would care to forget.” But this is only one division of the hurrah season. While it must be ad mitted that ye local, cast in upon a college commencement, is apt to let his fancy tune flight, yet there are adjectives called forth by a political campaign which cau ever bo reached amid the epbomeral sweets of com mencement. Your true reporter of the modern pattern does his loftiest work upon the platform, side by side with the orator of the evening. It may bo that tbo contest is for a seat in tho Legislature only, but it is all the same to him. Nor does it affect his spirits when the orator stammers, time tho flames were slowly devour ing tho child, whoso moans wore heart-rending. She was sometime burning to death. When help arrived they found only the charred body of the girl and an agonizing mother, who had been forced to stand and witness her child slowly tortured to death be fore her eyes. A number of oak logs taken from an ancient bridge in Germany havo been secured by a Boston manufactu rer, who will convert them into chairs and tables. The timber was first used in 780, and remained in the wa ter for about 1,100 years. It is in a remarkably fine state of preservation, and shows no signs of decay after penetrating two inches below the sur face. _ When a friend asked a reformed inebriate the cause of his reformation, he said: “As yon are married you will quite understand it when I say that getting tipsy made me see my motb- er-in-luw double.” A Chicago paper says that it wasn't Jesse James who was killed. Well, if it wasn’t Jesse, ho must be mighty proud of himself after reading tho certificate of angolic character given him in tho funeral sermon Detroit Pros Preu. As soon as the club had opened in due form, Brother Gardner announced thnt the Hon. Chatteraugus Tomp kins, of Montreal, wbb in the ante room, and desirous of addressing the meeting. The visiting committee was instructed to bring bira in, and after a short delay, a broad-backed blook man, with an eye like an eagle and a mouth betraying great firmness of character, made his appearance and was given a general introduction. In taking the platform be announced that ho had made the tour of the world three times, received the forty- seventh degree in the Sons of Malta and would address the dub for a few minutes on the subjects of economy and philosophy: “What am economy ?” he began, as he got a brace for his feet and looked Pickles Smith sqnare in the eye. “I answer dat economy am de art of ex tractin’ de most valne fur de least money. Economy am de art of mak ing time count. Take de plumber, fur instance. All he wants to begin life on am a solderin’ iron, a fire pot an’ a bar of salder. Economy does the rest. Ho gits pay fur de hours he sleops as well as fur de hours he works. Likewise, moreober, fur his helper. Time am cash to him. Eb- cry five minutes gone while be am huntin’ fur a leak am so much added to his capital. Take de house painter. If he kin kill fo’ minntes gwine up a ladder he knows he kin kill seben cornin’ down. Ebery minute he gains am dead cash. He could save ten cents a day by economizin’ on cigars, but he doan have to. He can save fif ty by economizin’ on de man who hires him half a day. “Praotic economy, but let philoso phy entor into do practice. Doan’ scold de old woman fur partin’ de partaters so thick when yon have just traded a grindstun, which cats nuffin’ an' am alius on hand, fur it dog which eats all do tiiuu an’ am inissin’ when a tramp comes along A shotgun may be worf mo' dan a watch, but when you git d<- gun you mils' buy fodder fur it. “As fm philosophy, do mo of it you have de leas you fool de want of in ey. Philosophy buys green wood an’ lets it season in do stove. Philoso phy gives a hoes fodder just before feedin’ time to save oats. Philoso phy puts three chillun in a bed to save kivers. Philosophy is in no hur ry to pay debts. It reasons dat do man who has owed a bill fur six months receives a warmer welcome when ho comes to pay np dan dechap who got trusted only yesterday. Use philosophy in your families. If de ole woman wants a new bonnet tell her dat she mus’ have a dress an cloak an’ parasol to match. By goin’ widout de bonnet she saves do ex pense ob all do rest. If do chillun cry fur maplo sugar, feed ’em wid fif ty cent syrup. De sweet am what dey cry fur. De same rain storms which stops your work in do garden will wash whitewash ofi de walls an’ fen ces, so what you lose by de wet you make up in de sunshine. True econ omy will adulterate castor ilo wid ker- osino, so dat de dose will act on de stomach an’ cure a soi^o froat at de Bame time. True philosophy will neb- er waste breath in statin' de case artcr de judge has passed sentence. Wid dese few disaffected imprudences I will now expand. An Atlanta man has been sentenced to twelve months on the chain gang for stealing the zinc lining from a bu'.h tub 0i,000,000 Por the Education ortho Freedman of the South—A Rich Donation. Norwich, Cobs., Special to tho Philadelphia Times. John F. Slater, a wealthy gentle man of this city, has signified his in tention to create a fund of $1,000,000, to be known as tbe “ John F. Slater fund,” for the education of the freed- men. The fnnd is to be invested in tbe hands of trustees, who are to ap ply the income according to the in-. strnotion of the donor. It is under stood here that tbe uct incorporating these trustees is to be presented in the Senate at Albany, New York, to day. Mr. Slater thus explains, in one paragraph of bis letter to the trustees, his general object; “The general ob ject whiob I desire to have exclusively panned is tbe uplifting of tbe lately emancipated population of the South ern States and their posterity by con ferring on them tbe blessings of Christian education. The disabilities formerly Battered by this people, and their singular patience and fidelity in tbe great crisis of the nation establish a just claim on the sympathy and good will of humane and patriotic men. I cannot but feel tbe compas sion that is dne in view of the prevail ing ignorance, and which exists through no fault of their own.” Mr. Slater leaves the trustees the largest liberty in making suoh ohanges iu the methods of applying the fund as may from time seem wise. He suggests that the education of teachers for the colored race may be the wisest pur pose to which tbe fund can be put, if, after thirty-tbree years, tbree-fourtbs of the trustees shall, for any reasoD, agree that tbero is no farther ase for the fund in tbe form it is now insti tuted. He authorizes them to apply the capital to the establishment of foundations subsidiary to the existing institutions of high education, so as to mako them more freely accessible to poor colored students. Under the prosont institution of tho fund he specially wishes t hat neither principal nor income be expended in land or buildings for any purpose than that of safe and productive investment for income.

I think you ought to feel like a young colt.” “Wall, I suppose things do look a little bright—just a little—but I don’t see any occasion for shouting. Fact is, twenty-one of my ewes had single lambs when they might as well have bad twins, and I don't look for mneb of a price on wool this summer.” Whew 1 Coming up these stairs takes tbe wind out of me,” remarked the gentleman wuo climbed to tbo ed itorial room to give advioe about ran* ing the paper. “1 aut so glad,” says the editor, shaking him by the hand, and tbe gentleman thinks the editor is delighted to sec nim.
