The Banks are very kind and do not cliarge tlie orphans for accommodations. Checks are, therefore, most desirable. 2. Post Office orders cost very little and are very convenient. 3. When checks and Post Of fice orders are not in reach, let ters should be registered. 4. When you enclose a check, an order, or money, tell the names of the contributors. If from a church, or Sunday School, give the name, denomination, and Post Office. If from a Lodge or Society, give the name, number and Post Office. Do not say from “our church,” or “ our Lodge.” 5. If the OitPiiANs’ Fkiend fail to report the arrival of a letter, be sure to write again. 6. Direct your letter.s to ORPHAN ASYLUJI, 4^tf OXFOKD, N. C. JIOW TO SEND A BOX. 1. Be sure tlie box is strong. Then fill it with something which will not spoil on the wav, and which will be worth more than the co.st of transportation. 2. Never put in the same box articles which will spoil eacliother. Horae-infide soap i.salwa3-s needed liere ; but it should not be put in a box with sugar. 3. Do not put in any candj', prize boxes or fire crackers, or powder. 4. Before nailing on the top, put in a list of the contents with names of the contributors. 5. Mark on the box ; Orphan Asylum, Oxford, N. C. C. If convenient, pa}"- the freight j but, whether you pay the freight or not, iii sending rail-road or steamer, mail the clerk’s receipt that we may know where to find the box, if lost. 7. Watch in the Orphans’ Friend for the report on every box and help us correct any error you may discover. HOW TO SEND A BA«. 1. We will furnish bags at anj' time for valuable contributions. 2. Let the bags be strong and put in them such articles as will not be injured by rough handling, or by boxes piled upon them. 3.

Mills, Esq.—Dear Sir In November we remitted to you the sum of 850.00, and ou the 10th inst. the sum of 805.00, a total of 8115.00, being the proceeds of two entertainments given by the Goldsboro Dramatic As.sociati()n. Inasmuch as tliis Association and the Misses Aid Society of this place are almost identical, we desire that the amount, $115.00, should be placed to the credit of tlie Misses Aid Society, and added to the aniouut of their form er donations. We ask, therefore, that you make this transfer and give to the Misses Aid Society all credit aud praise for tlie total amount of the series of enter tainments. Ilopiiiig you will comply at once with tiiis request, we remain, Yours very truly, J. B. Whitaker, Jr., j li, W. IlERFEEltON, 1 9 P. L. Castex, f g T. E. Eobinson, 3 Wilmington, N. 0., Peb. 10, 1877. Mb. j. II. Mills—Dear Sir :—I en close clieck for 8187.25, net proceeds of a concert lately given under our auspices for the beiieiit of the Oxford Orphan Asylum. In acknowledging this amount idease understand that it is from us, a committee from St. John’s Lodge, No. 1, but tliat many of our bretliren in Wilmington Lodge, 319, rendered most effective aid in singing —-this sliould be acknowledged tlirougb us as well as the kindness of the ladies and gentlemen who took part in the entertainment. Yfoiu'S respectfully, James Sprunt, Gh’ni’n. J. McD. Pbench A. David, > Com Williamsbobo, N. C., ) Pebruary 14,1877. ) Mr. j. H. Mills—Sir;—Tiie great est desire of my Jieart is in some way to be useful to and serve tlie oi'iilians at Oxford. I have exhausted my im agination trying to study up some way wliereby I may be of service to them. I am a man of limited means, and a small family to support; but it will be a great aecoimuodation to me if you will inform me how 1 may help to sup- ]iort and comfort the iioor orphans. God bless the orphans. Eespcctfully, Wm. II. Davis. Canvass for the Orphans’ Peiend. We will furnish sample copies as ma ny as desired, and there is no better way to aid in the orphan work. Some have nobly aided us in this way. Would that many others could be found who would take the same interest. —M. Menier,the famous French cliocolate maker (formerly a wholesale druggist), was speak ing not long ago in the French Chamber of Deputies on his fa vorite subject of taxation, and liad just made a remark contrast ing circulating capit'al with fixed capital, when he was rudely in terrupted by the Bonapartist edi tor, Paul de Cassagnac, slioutiiig, “Chocolate, for example.” Menier, b}' no means disconcerted, replied tliat M. de Cassagnac might well know something of this suliject, for lie (Menier) liad supplied Cassagnac’s uncle with a large quantiti’, for which he had never been paid. Now, if the nephew would pay tlie outstanding ac count, there would be an illustra tion of the transformation of cir culating capital into fixed capital. Cassagnac, offended, appealed to the president, but without win ning miicii sympatliy. At this moment a stranger in the gallery opportunely sliouted, “ Vive Na- poiiian IV.,” and the attention of tlie liouse was happily diverted from tlie personal squabble wliicli liad arisen. Girard College.—The rigid rule excluding clergymen from Girard College in Pliiladelpliia, .seems to have been relaxed dur ing the period of the Centennial Exhibition, as no questions were asked of strangers. The terms of Girard’s will do not practically exclude religion from the institu tion. On the contrary, two ser vices are lield in the chapel daily, laj' sermons are preaclied on Sun days, a Bible service is held on Sunday evening, and a Sunday School is in successful operation. A new and elegant chapel is in process of erection to meet the requirements of tlie college. Coiitril>utioiis to tSic Orphan Asy lum at Oxioi'd for the week end ing February 20th« 187’7. IN CASH.

Correspondents so often ask wbat the Legislature lias done foi- the oi'plians, that we find it neces sary to keep a standing answer to the inquir}-. The Constitution of North Carolina sa}’s : ‘There shall also, as soon as practicable, be measures devised by the State for the establishment of one or more Orphan Houses, where destitute orphans may be cared for, educated and taught some business or trade.’ Every member of the Legisla ture, before taking his seat, sol- emnlj' swears, “that he will sup port the Constitution and laws of the United States, and the Consti tution of the State of North Caro lina, and will faithfully discharge his duty as a member of the Sen ate, or House of Representatives.” Both political parties have been in power since the present Con stitution was adopted, and the only appropriation made to tlie orphan work was the gift of the crape used at the funeral of Gov- eiior Caldwell. 10-tf.
