Such foolishness ought to be stopped. Washington, l).V, May 15. There has lieen coisilerable gossip during the week Relative to a very imiKu tant changelu the cabinet. It is said that the President wished to i have Mr. Conkling at the head ofthe cabinet, aud that t jie present Sec retary ofthe State,) Mr. Frelinghuy sou, is to lie seiit toj England as suc cessor to Mr. LoweH, and that Mr. Conkling is to tak his place. If this chiiiigii is intended, it Will have to lie made stMin, lifccause both ap pointments must lie con tinned by the Senate wjii-h is well up with its work. If the Mouse were equally for ward, there would lie-no reason for . j - continuing the session longer than until the middle of June. The fam ilies of some Senators and memliers have: aIre;Mly departed for their homes,or forsiininieiresirfs, though as yet, we have had very little ofthe "etherial mildness" that poets attri bute to this season f tlieyear. A bill making the Agricultural Depi'ittneiit one ot the Executive Departments of the Government passeil the House on Wednesday by a very large in:ijiuily,"and, if thin bill hisses the Senati,asit is thought , it will do, the Commissioner of Ag riculture will become a member of the cabinet, with the title of Seci-e-tary of Agriculture, who will be pro moted to the eabiuel oflice, in case this bill liecomes a liw, has not yet been ; the subject of much specula tion. The present head of the Bu reau is very popular but ihere will no doubt Ik' ot her applicants for the place with its enhanced dignity. The cabinet ofthe President now consists of seven members, ha ving charge resiiectivelyl of the War, Navy, State, Treainry, Interior, J ust ice aul Postofiice Departments. Some.other civilizedjcountries have twelve Executive Departments, com prising, liesides the above-named d'. visions, Agriculture, Education, Commerce, M.anufactnres, ami Pub lic Works. j ; There is a bill Uefoi'e Congress aiproiui;ting 10,000,(M0 for plir jMises of education, to be distribut d to the several States and Terri ories in proportion to their illitera cy as shown by the late census. If this bill sh ill lie passed, it will be a step toward thtv assiimption by the Federal Government of the educa tional function that by the public school various States, and is now divided systems of the at no distant day, we may have another cabinet officer, to lie known jas the Secreta ry of Public Instruction. There could Winnch said for and against such a measure. The old question of State rights wojild lie revived.

There are so few such that we look, with feelings akin to wonder, on such a specimen of mankind. A Judge in New Orleans has at tempted to establish a censorship of the press.

The editor dis regarded the injunction, and was put in prison by the court for con tempt..,.. It has lieen heretofore thought that since censorship was abolished, the press was free to-publish' anything, but res ion si bl e c.jvilly and criminally for its publications. ; ' -" - 1 Professor Dabney, State Chemist, 1 showed the Xcirs-Obxerrcr speci mens of cotton seed oil cake, from the mills at NcHberne. The seed are hulled and1 ground up into meal and then the oil is pressed out by powerful hydraulic presses, extract ing from each ton ofiieed, 40 cents, anil when refined .". to (10 cents per gallon. The residum, the cotton seed oil cake, sells at the factory for $23 to 30 per t on, and retails at $35 per ton. The hull taken from the seed are also valuable, so that not.li- iug is .lost. It ought to.be remedied. The Milton Chronicle thus remoans its sad condition. "We have no appe tite to eat and our sleep is terribly disturbed, all because our "lilierties" are depredated on by not. allowing us to vote for United StvtesDistr!ct Judges, Attorneys,' Marshals, Rev. enne officers and Post masters.

A Story About Lincoln. exoov. hick is a fktu roMrXCJ MEMORIAL VOI.I MK. ; While , otiieially, resident in Washington during the late war I once had occasion to call upon President Lincoln -vitli the late Senator Henry Wilson, uon an er rand of public nature in which we were inutuallv interested, j In the recognizeil order of pmvdeut' a member f the lloiis if Hepresent atives, as I then was, could not in times of pressure for audicm-c with the President gain admittance so long as mere were Cabinet mii"is' ters, inemliers ofthe Diplomatic Corps, Senators or Justices of the Supreme Court desiring audieii.-e with him, and' all civilians must wait their opjiortunity until alter meniliers of Congress and officers of the army and navy, and of the civil service and others had had their turns reflectively. Having a joint errand with Senator Wilson, could avail of his privilege of earlier ad mission; but we were obliged to wait some time in the ante-room before we could be received, 'and wheu at length the door was ojiened to us a small lad, perhaps ten or twelve years ild, who had been waiting for adinission several days vyithout success, slipiMul in lie-' tween us, and '. approached the President in advauce. The latter gave the senator and myself cordial but brief salutation, and turning immediately to the lad said, "And who is this little boyf" --"During the conference the Senator and myself were apparently forgotten. The boy soon told his story, which., was iu substance that he had come to Washington, seeking, employment as a page iu the House of Repre sentatives, and he wished the Pres ident to give him- such an appoint nient. To this the President re plied that such appointments were not at his disposal, and that; appli cation must be made to the dooi keejier ofthe House at the Capitol. "But sir," said, the lad, still un daunted, "I am a good boy, and have a tetter from iny mother, and one from the supervisors of our town, aud one from my Sunday-:' school teacher, and they all told me that I could earn enough in one session of , Congress to keep niy' mother and the rest of in comfort able the rest of the year.'' The President took the lad's pajiers and ran his eyes over them with that penetrating and absorbant look so familiar til . all who knew him, aud then took his pen and wrote ujhhi the back of one of them: "If Capt. Gnoduow can give a place to this good little I toy, 1 shall be gratitfed," ami signed it; A. Lincoln." The boy's face became radiant with hojie, and he walked out of the room wit h a step as light as though all the angels were whisper ing their congratulations. Only after the lad had gone did the President seem to realize that a senator and another iierson had been some time waiting to see him.; Matrimonially Mixed.

The pulpit has its human as well a-- its' divine side. We plead lor it, t hcrefore, no Hieiietit of t lie clergy' iu the matter of criticism.:.' Within' tvi fain limits it is as subject to . critH-ism un the oar or the rostrnm.' The prencber is just as much a man as the lawyer or the lecturer. He draws tijioii the- same vscaladar'a-s ' rfor words, aud his muid is subject to the same laws of thought. The Kiuie principles of (iriynin and Khetoric apply to his discourse, and he is bound by the same pro prieties of imtthod. diction amtac- t tion. In all these resjiects he: stands Is'fore his audience on the ( Siime platform with other men. As a public uiau he has no right, therefore, to claim immunity front just criticism. 11 is theme m.ty be I diviue, but it is iu human hands. The treasure may lie heavenly, , but it is iu earthen vessels:- ' If the preacher uses bad grammar or re a sons illogically, it is no more sue religioiiA tosav sothau it would be if he were a lawyer, or a common. lecturer, or the editor ' of a secular . v..- .1 ':n urwHiuirr. ui uir ii uigiiv m nature or oerverHeiiess wheu it is demiuidod that the preacher shall, in all that is essentially human as Mitainiug to his calling, measure up to the staudard of public taste(, The dignity of his iheuie and. his (success, so far as that which is human , minister . to suciVss, de-. letid materially on his doing this Hence the necessity of assiduous, eft'.irt on his part in 'order to reach the highest possible attainment in knowledge and culture f(rthe work of the ministrv as Well as for auv other calling. i, '. - : j Having said so much on this line we cannot be misunderstood when we say that there is a sieeies of criti cism rife in all the laud, touching the pulpit, which is doing an im- . 1 mense amouutof harm. Frivolous ".."" and itmorant Dersons. who are iles- titute of taste, or have a iei verbd taste, forget that the pulpit has a ' divine as well as a humau side that It differs at all. from, the stage or platform that its theme are uot human inventions but heaveu given that the ureacher comes as an empassador of God to proclaim a message from the King eternal to guilty world, aud that his missions s of the most aoleiun import. They therefore enter the sanctuary a they , would enter the theatre ur the lecture-room, and much for the same purpose to be eutertained. Coining, therefore, not worabi ers, but only as pleasure seekers, their attention is directed chiefly to the maii aud his manner. It is not so niuch-jcAat he nays as how he says it that impresses them. The human part is to them the matter of prin cipal moment. The sermon is then Judged entirely by the standard of their conceptions, which leave oat entirely the most important cuar -acteristicM of a true sermon. Vfe -say the standard of thttr conctp tionu, and their conoetkiM have . lieen formed without any ' true mislel, for they have, erhaps, never in their lives so much as read a single standard sermon.
