Hut d, of Ohio, has ac cepted an- invitation to address the Virginia Democratic State convention, which meets at Richmond next Wed nesday,'; . Imports by silk manufacturers last year exceeded those of the previous year by thirty per cent. ; in other words, every husband whose business pros pects improved during the year had to pay for more than the usual number of new dresses. A London physician cured a lady of deafness by taking her into the Cathe dral tower near one of the bells as the hammer fell upon it. The forceof the sound fractured the obstruction to the ear. Gov. It. B. Hubbard, of Texas, has accepted an invitation from the literary societies of the University of Virginia to deliver the annual commencement address on the 30th of June. A Confederate soldier, named Moore, crawled out under the fire of two armies to give relief to a wounded Un ion captain. He recently received in formation, at his home in Arkansas, that the captain had bequeathed him $20,000. Each of the four weeks in June will witness the holding of a national conven tion. The Green backers meet at Chi cago on the 9th, and the prohibitionists at Cleveland on the 17th. Mr. John McCullough is quoted as saying that he tries to make Othello his most finished role; that he loves Virginius, and finds in it his greatest profit; and that he finds in the South a keener appreciation of Shakespeare than in the North, which he attributes to the facfthat the heredes of life are more thoroughly cultivated there. If the Women Desert the Church ! New1 York Sun. Is the church losing its hold on the women ? If so, it is in greater danger than it ever was in before. An observant Englishwoman is satis fied that there is no room for doubt as to the fact ; that the peril is real and imminent She asserts that among the most intelligent women in England un belief is spreading year by year, and at a rapid rate. The educated country women of Harriet Martineau and Frances Power Cobbe are not poring over the Bible and prayer book as their mothers and grandmothers did. They are reading Darwin and Spencer, Hux- ey and Tyndall. Is this true to any appreciable extent of the educated women of the Tjnited States ? We know it was not true even j so recently as Margaret Fuller's time. J Unbelieving or doubting women were as rare here then as white blackbirds. But since then there has been a notable increase in the number and improve ment in the quality of girls schools; well equipped colleges for young wo men have sprung up ; colleges hereto fore sacred to the education of the young male of the human species have opened their doors to his sisters ; even conservative Harvard has somewhat tardilv and grudgingly shown a disposi tion to adjust itself to the changed con ditions. The American girl of 23 who has Mhad advantages," to borrow a New Englandism, is a Very difierent young person irom tnat otner American gin whom her father courted, loving ner ail the better perhaps for her simplicity, sweet ignorance, and undoubting piety. This modern girl has studied, more or less thoroughly, the higher mathe matics and the natural sciences; she has read or skimmed the books .-of the day ; she has heard some of the lecturers ; she keeps the run of the magazines; she has her reading club, possibly a social literary club as well; very HKeiy sneis writing a novei, or getting ready to do so by assiduous magazine practice ; she has her head full and her hands full. Certainly the Church does not fill the same place in her thoughts or in her life that it did in her mother's at her age. Still it remains to be proved that she is ceasing to be a Christian and becoming an unbeliever. If she is, the outlook tor the unurcn is disquieting. Ever since it was writ ten, the preachers nave oeen iona of quoting a verse setting forth that woman was "Last at His cross and earliest at His grave." From time immemorial the clergy and the women have been close allies. The day that saw this alliance broken would be a cloudy day ior ine rormer. What would they do for hearers? In very many of the churcnes or tnis city, anvwhere from two-thirds to nine- tenths of the weekly congregation are women. Moreover, or tne compara tively small number of men who are habitual or casual cnurcn goers, . now manv would have been in the pews if they had not been attracted, coaxed, or gently coerced thither by women V T I - I - .

Salelgh. Observer, ; t , The report ot the Superintendent of Public Instruction, which now lies be fore us, is hot soi complete as we would like to have it, but it presents a very interesting resume of the operations of the department during the past year. Mr. Scrbdr:o!Ugli. tells us that there are in the State 1,000 whites between the ages of six aiid -twenty-one years, and 154.000 colored; children. Of the f or"mer 153,000 attended school during the year, and of the latter 85,000. The State is divided irltQ aboiit 4,000 school districts. are about four Bchool districts to a town- i ship. The white children have 2,500 school houses and the negroes about 1,000, but there were taught 600 white and near 2,000 colored schools during the year. The teachers are paid about $22 per month ; $183,000 being expend ed for the teachers of white schools and $110,000 for the teachers of -the negro schools. Daring the year thef-school fund received.from.tbe, poll tax $156, 000 and from property $132,000; from other sources about $80,000. Wake being the most populous county in the State, leads off with seventy-six white teachers and seventy-four colored teach ers; 4,276 white children and 4,465 ne gro children attended sehool during the year, while 2,570 white children and 2,000 negro children did not attend at all. We spent for white schools $10,190.00, ' and for negro schools $9,327:00, ami the treasurer has on hand $5,422 for school purposes. There is indeed no reason why there should not be greater educa-. tional facilities iliioiighout the State than have been provided, for we began the year with $123,000 cash on hand, and after defraying ail expenses carried over $147,170 to the next year. In other words, we have $150,000 of thei school fund on hand bearing no interest, Which, as far as we know, ought to expended in establishing more schools. And it appears that where these facilities are provided the children avail themselves ofthemtothe fullest extent. For in stance, Cherokee county, we know, is sparsely settled, but having forty-nine white schools, nearly all the children there attend school and reap the educa tional advantages afforded them. She has 2,921 white children between the school ages, and of these the report shows that 2,822 attended school last year. These schools cost $1,198.11. The balance in the hands of the county treasurer is only $111.08. What she raises she expends,; the children get the full benefit of the tax. In like manner it may be that if there were additional educational facilities afforded through out the State and the balance in the hands of our county treasurers was ex pended in establishing: other schools, many or those children who have not gone to school this year would attend. It is, perhaps, proper to say that this subject is not under the direc tion of Superintendent Scarborough, but rests with county officials. BITTEN BIT A DOU. A Terrible Case of Hydrophobia in IiOuisvlllc. Louisville. Ky May 14. It is some time since a case of hydrophobia has oc curred in this city, but to-day two horri ble cases of this disease are chronicled. The persons afflicted are Preston Fore man, a plasterer, living on sixteenth and Harney streets, and his little boy of seven or eight years. Several weeks ago the child was bitten by a dog, but its parents paid no attention to the matter, and the wound speedily healed. Three days ago the little fellow began to exhibit strange symptoms of sick ness, which gave his parents much alarm. Since that time he has constant ly grown worse, until now he is suffer ing from what is thought to be a gen uine case of hydropnodia. lhe cmid froths at the mouth, snaps and snarls 4ike a dog, at times is seized with agon izing sprams, and exhibits other symp toms of rabies. Up to to-day Foreman has shown no symptoms of madness. This morning he complained of feeling badly, and soon began to act strangely. It was not long before he began to rave like a maniac and to show signs of ra bies. He began to froth at the mouth, howl and shap like a dog, and tried to bite whoever came near him, ." About 9 o'clock this morning, he went out on the street where his uppearanee created a pertect panic, lie. was terriDiy vio lent, and threatened. everyone: whom he saw. Fortunately neiid not suceeed in injuring anybody y one negro was struck on the head and knocked down, but he was not badly hin t- People living in the neighborhood were terrimy scared at the violent, behavior of the man. A policeman was sought for, and Officer J. P. Mc Whorter soon arrived on the scene. He gave Chase to T.he, ; mani ac and caught him at the corner of Sixteenth and Prentice streets. The policeman - called others to his assis tance, and with the help of four negroes Foreman was secured and bound about the hands , and feet. A wagon , was procured :ahd Vthe madman plac ed in jail in a straight-jacket. Old Slaves Just fee tti off Ittarrled Lumiikln (Gs.1 iiideeiirtipnt.
