EDITORS CONMSB WITH LEGISLATORS. Tbe Editorial Committee are Heard by tbe Judiciary Committee or the Twe. Houses A Memerial and Iflli Presented by the Editor ial Association. Tbe State Editorial association at its late annual meeting, held in Harrisbunr en the leth or January, appointed a special com mittee te examine tbe libel law ofPenns efPenns sylvania and report te the Legislature by memorial and bill if any changes were - deemed necessary. I be committee select ed consisted of Clayten HcMichael, A. E. McClurc, D. H. Neiman, E. O'Neill, Jas. R. Willard, H. M. Jenkins and W. U. Ilensel, te whom was added Themas Clial fant, president of the state association. The committee met the judiciary com mittees of the Senate and Heuse in joint meeting Thursday and were courteously received and honored by a large attend ance. Tbe bill prepared by the editorial committee had been read in place in the Senate and was before the judiciary com mittee et that body for consideration, and Mr. McClure, in the absenre of Mr. Mc- Miebael, the chairman, presented the memorial signed by the committee. He also briefly cxplaiued the bill, saying that it had net been subjected te careful legal criticism, and that it was intended te be suggestive te tbe Legislature rather than te be presented a as measure that the newspaper press bad matured and perfected. Mr. Chalfant and Mr. Hensel followed in brief explana tions of the desire of legitimate journalism te be protected against tbe inequalities of the law which often operated harshly against reputable newspapers. All of the editorial speakers paid high tributes te the libeial libel laws of the state aud de clared mat tney t a voted tue strictest ac ac ceuntability for the abuse -df the prerega tives of the press. Senators Hall and Heir and Representatives Ruddiman, Wolfe, Nilcs and ethers had a free collo quial discussion of the bill with the edi tors, and several amendments were sug gested, which the editorial committee cor dially approved. It is believed that the judiciary committee will favor the pas sage of a bill embracing the main features of the measure proposed by the editors. The Proposed New Libel Lair. TJie following is the new libel bill pre pared by the editorial committee, and new in the hands of the Senate judiciary com mittee : An act te define liability and pleadings iu actions for libel. Section 1. Be it enacted, etc.. That in civil actions for libel there shall be no re covery of damages for tbe publication of papers relating te the official conduct of officers or men in public capacity, or te any ethei matter proper for public investi gation or information, where the fact that such publication was net maliciously or negligently rrnde shall be established te the satisfaction of the jury. Provided, however, that this section shall net be con sumed te prevent recovery for actual damages sustained by reason of libelous publications, where direst damages are averred and proven. Sec. 2. That in civil actions for libel the defendant or defendants may enter a gen eral plea of just ideation, and if the alleged libel be matter proper ler public investi gation or information it shall be a question for the jury te decide, under the instruc tions of the court, whether the publication complained of is substantially sustained by the testimony, and if se sustained there shall be no recovery of damages. Pro vided, however, that this scctieu shall net be construed te relieve the defense in any degree from aggravated damages in case of failure te sustain the general plea of justification, nor of exemplary damages iu any case where, under existing laws, exem plary damages are warranted. Sec. 3. That any person feeling ag grieved by a publication may institute one crimal and one civil action, or either, in any country where the alleged libel has been published or circulated, but no mere than ene civil and one criminal action shall be brought for the same publication, nor shall additional actions be brought for tbe republication of the same libel pend ing tbe trial of an action already instituted, but any repititien of the alleged libel after suit has been brought or complaint made may be admissible iu evidence en trial in aggravation of damages or sentences. Electric Signals. After Satisfactory Trials they Will be Placed en the Pennsylvania Kailread The Pennsylvania railroad company has been experimenting with electric signals and they having at length proved satis factory it is prebable that they will be placed along the whole line en the read. The experiments have been in progress for the past two months en the eastern slope of the Allegheny mountains between Gal litzin aiulAlloena. This new invention for the automatic working of signals by means of electricity is owned by a Bosten firm, and it is design ed te give it a fair and full trial en the eastern slope, with a view of extending it eventually along the entire line of read iu case it works satisfactorily. After con siderable experimenting and rearranging of the simple contrivance, se as te have it answer all the requirements necessary, the signal new works admirably, and it would seem that as long as train-men attend te their duties the possibility of accidents from collisions, trains breaking, tracks be ing impaired, etc., is absolutely prevent ed by this appliance. Iu addition te the telegraph towers there are block-signals erected at intervals of two miles or a little ever, but these de net require any person te attend them, beyond the lighting of a lamp in each by the watchmau at night. The ends of the rails opposite each block are insulated, and a circuit is thus formed running along both rails of the track, cast and west, but detached by tbe insertion of a "web" between the joints at the insulating place, se that this circuit is complete between each set of blocks, the signals of which the clejtrictty moves. When the wheels of an engine or car run inside of the clock the red light, or "ban ner," is automatically set, thus notifying any trains following that the distance te the next signaling place is net clear. The making of the circuit by the wheels sets this signal, but the moment they cress the insulating point at the next one the cur rent of electricity is cut and the white disc takes the place of the red, showing that the track for a distance of two or two and a half miles, as the case may be is en tirely clear. Should it happen that a rail breaks between any two signal stations the interruption te the circuit will cause the green signal te be shown in each of the towers connected and the train-men thus notified te proceed with caution. Te make assurance doublysure a " tell-tale " wire is run en the telegraph pests te the several telegraph towers, and this is ar ranged te operate by electricity a minia ture block in each, just as the insulated i raus weric ub: large ones, a battery of I two potreaiy is required at each block. There are eight of these signal towers en the eastern rJepe. When the electric sig nal is in operation, the track must be en tirely free of cars, as the circuit would otherwise be cut, and the lights or "blinds" in the block stations at both en trances wenld give tbe notice te put train-men en their guard. . m i . Iadiaa E4aeatl ia Yirjtlala. The effort has been for a natural, all round growth rather than a rapid one. Beeks, of course, are for a long time of no avail, and object teaching, pictures aud blackboards take their place, with every ether devicejthat ingenuity is equal te, often en tbe spur of the moment, te keep up tbe interest and attention of tbe undis ciplined minds that, with the best inten tions and strong desire te knew English, have small practice for preliminary steps. A peripatetic class was thus uVvistd te re lieve the tedium of the school-room, and had te speak literally and figuratively, quite a run. It usually began with leap frog, and then went gaily en te find its "books in the running brooks, sermons in stones," etc. Geography is "taught with meulding sand and iron raised dissecting maps : arithmetic at first with blocks. The Indians are particularly fend of each, and the advanced class is quite expert in adding up columns of figures, as long as a ledger page, and equal te practical prob lems of every day trade and simple busi ness accounts. Nothing, however, can equal the charm of the printed page. It has the old mys tery of "the paper that talks.'.' "If I can net read when I go home,' said a young brave, " my people will laugh at me." The gratitute of the St. Augustines ever their first text-book in geography was touching. Reading, writiug and spelling are taught together by the word method and charts. Later, attractive lit tle primaries have been very useful, and unbound numbers of children's magazines such as are used in the Quincy schools. Most of the Dakotas can new read at sight as simple English as is found in these, aud are beginning te take pleasure in reading or iu listening te easy versions of our childhood classics of Robinson Cru soe, aud Christopher Columbus, and Goerge Washington with bis little hatchet . One of their teachers who tried the hatch et story en them in preparation for the 22d of February says : " Such attentive listeners I never saw before. They were perfectly enraptured. Thev understood everything, even te the moral. A few days after this I was annoyed by talking in the class. When I asked who did it, every one blamed his neighbor. I said, " New boys, don't tell a lie. Who will be a Geerge Washington ?" Twe boys at once steed up and said, " We did it." Anether teacher was less successful with her moral, in trying te explain a hymn they had learned te recite : " Yield net te temptation, for yielding i-sT-tin ; Each victory . -will help yen some ether te win." The next day ene of the girls came te her, exclaiming, triuniphautly, " I victory ! I victory! Louisa Bullhead get mad with me. She big temptation. Ijl'jJ-t Jier. I victory !" A love letter picked up en the fleer of a school with Hampton's views en co-education need net inevitably shock even ped agogic sensibilities. Writteu iu an un un kuewu tongue, however, with only the names te betray it, a translation by the private interpreter seemed only a proper precaution. If I coufide it te the gentle reader, the Indian levers will be neither the worse nor the wiser, while some ethers may find in it valuable suggestiqaj for similar correspondence. ' Nermal Scheel, Feb. 3, 1879. " Miss : I said I like you, and I want te give you a letter. Whenever I give yen letter, I want you answer te me seen. That's all I Want, aud I will answer te you seen after. When you give me let ter, it raises me up. It makes me heart glad, sister-inlaiB. When I talk, I am net saying anything foolish.

Ludlow, in Harper's Magazine for April. Converts te Unitariaalsm. New Yerk Independent. Within a year two of the ministers of the New Yerk and Brooklyn Congrega tional associations, Mr. Miln and Mr. Sheer, have (reue ever te the Unitarians. I following, alter a considerable interval, i Mr. M. J. Savage and Mr. C. F. Dele. Neither of them has been driven out ; but each has discovered tbat he did net belong where he was, and has left, as in duty bound. A man who believes himself still in substantial harmony with the general faith of his denomination and in sympathy with its purposes has no right te leave it at the clamor of mischievous people ; and one wbe finds himself out of such harmony and sympathy cannot in honor leave tee seen. There is in all the leading religious de nominations, at the present time, se much liberality that one very seldom needs te leave them, unless he has given up the faith of the Gospel. It is becoming mere and mere evident in the Congregational, Methodist, Presbyterian and Episcopalian denominations that the miner differences are of little account. The cengregational cengregatienal ists, eight years age, deliberately took down the fence separating Calvinists from Arminians. Prominent Methodists are said te be Calvinist and are elected te positions of high honor. A Methodist bishop denies the resurrection of the body. Scores of Episcopalian ministers, and net they alone, decline te assert eternal punish ment. Let a minister new net be quarrel some, let him held his belief in a peace able way, and he may remain in almost any denomination, and yet held te the specific doctrine of any ether denomina tion which can charitably be called Evan gelical. If he be pious, devout, earnest in bringing men te repentance and faith in Christ, few will ask what are his private speculations. It fellows that few will new leave our Evangelical denominations en Mr. Slicer's request of liberty un'ess they want liberty te disbelieve the essential doctrines of the Christian faith. As we suppose, that is Mr. Slicer's position, The Unitarian body has in it a geed deal of faith ; but the faith is of home growth, while the imports will be chiefly of unbelief. Mr. Sheer says that he has net for some time preach ed the divinity of Jesus Christ, and we are surprised that he should se lately have allowed himself te be elected one of the officers of the Congregational club of this city. Names r reaasylTaala Streams. Scheel Journal. A gentleman who has given attention te tne matter, says : " rne use of streams in Pennsylvania, with Indian aames, in the January number of The Journal, is inter esting, bat would be much mere se were their signifiance also given, as .well as some et the beautiful Indian legends con nected with them. If a teacher were te have his pupils leek up these Indian names and their meaning, a fine oppertu nity would be afforded for lessens in the history of ear state and the location of our streams and rivers. I append a short list of names, mostly in the Lehigh Val. ley, and the meaning of as many of them as occur te me : Catasauqua, originally Caladaque means " parched land." Hokendauqua, from Hockyendogae, " searching ier land." Coplay, from Copeeehan, " a line run ning stream." Towamensing, " wilderness." " Mauch Chunk, " bear meutain." Wyoming, from Maughwauwarae, " large plain." Susquehanna, " bread, shallow river." Wyalusing, from M'chwihilusing, "beautiful hunting ground," or "home of the great patriarch." Wysauking, " the place of grapes." Tewanda, from Tewandee or Awandee, "at the burial place," or as thought by some, from Gowanda, " a town among the hills by the water 6ide." Chemung, ' big horn." Tiega, " (be meeting of the waters." Kittatinny, from Eautatinchunk. Lehigh, from Lechaw, " west branch." Other names that might be added are : Pohecoco, Quakake, Aquashioela, Nes Nes quehening, Shenandoah, Mabantange, Tamaqua, Pecene. Orieatatien rf Cathedrals. I have said that the west front is gener. ally regarded as the principal front of tbe cathedral. But this results rather from the fact of its being the point most remote from the altar, which, with its surround ing sanctuary, was always placed, accord ing te tbe customs of these early times, if net toward tbe exact east, at least in an easterly direction. This choice of location arese -from the custom prevalent in tbe Middle Ages of keeping a " vigil " en the night previous te the festival of the par ticular saint in honor of whom the church was te be dedicated, and taking the point where the sun arose iu the morning as the place toward which the altar of the new structure was te be turned. That is known as the principle of ori entation. But as the precise point where the sun first appears is found te vary very considerably during the course of the year, it fellows that the position of a church which is dedicated te any saint whose festival falls at midsum meras that of St. Peter or St. Jehn tbe ISantist will nlinvr n. fwinsirlAralilA vnnn. tieu from that of another whose saint's day occurs at Advent or Christmas-tide. In cither case, however, the great painted window ever the altar was se placed that it might catch tbe first rays of the morn ing sun, and thence diffuse its returning light ever the whole interior. And this great window was always rich with all the glow of pictured legend and saintly device the culminating point of the series of "storied windows richly dight," which were continued round the walls of the churcb, and lent such a charm of warmth and color te the whole of its spa cieus interior.: Arthur UUman, m Har per' Magazine for April. "Dec" and" Jim.' An xnterestinc Incident at the White Heuse. The White Heuse, since General Garfield entered it, has been the scene of many interesting inci dents. One of these, worthy of special mention, occurred this week. After the public had been notified that no mere peo ple would be admitted, a rough-looking man passed forward and attempted te pass the guards. He was stepped. He tlieu asked them te take his card te the new president, and alter a great deal of persuasion succeeded. The guard took the pasteboard tremblingly te General Garfield, and be immediately directed that the visitor be admitted. The latter, with a pleased "I knew he would see me," went up te the president's office. General Garfield welcomed him with outstretched hand, and said : " Halle. Dec !" ASMI1U VU The two shook said : hands, and "Dec1 "Jim, you've had a geed many soft things since yen left the towpath, bat I guess this is the softest." "Oh, I don't knew," replied the presi dent. "But it's better than the towpath, Jim, and a geed deal easier?" General Garfield replied in a manner in dicating his opinion that any dety, if properly performed, would be "hard," and be held a long tete-a-tete with his visi ter, who was one of his old friends of the towpath. The freedom of the cenversa- tien was a considerable surprise te several distinguished gentlemen present, one of whom tells the story. Christianity and the Obelisk. Frem Evans' Oration at the Obelisk Unveil ing.

And Moses .has come here, long before this obelisk ; Moses, the greatest lawgiver the world ever saw ; Moses, with his ten command ments, is in possession of the churches and of the schools and of the literature and of the morals of society. Egypt is perpetu ated net only here,but throughout our sys tem of civilization, by the cry of the infant Moses, which has been expanded into a voice spreading ever the whele modern world. Twenty-two years after this obe lisk was raised at Alexandria, te mark per petual dominion', there was born in the neighboring and subject province of Pales tine another infant, destined also te death. Christ, the' Saviour, born then, has been a power and a light before which all kings and conquerors, all dynasties, all princi palities and powers have fallen in obe dience. Before this obelisk from Alexan dria reached our shores we had heard of the names of Moses and Christ, and had seen the morality of Moses and the re ligion of Christ made a basis for civilization, for society, for national strength and national perma nence, which will last forever, and forever, and which can never be overthrown by any of tbe causes that overwhelmed dy nasties and rubied nations."

In the Legislature of Ohie, some years age, there was a warm dispute whether a certain proposed railroad should com cem com reenco at a t;iven point down or at a cer tain ether point up the river. " Who ever heard," said a dewn-the-river advocate, "of beginning anything at the top? Who ever beard of building a chimney freLi the top downward ? Who ever saw a house begun at the top ?" Up jumped a Dutch member from aa up-the-river county. " Meester Brezideat, de jentlemans zay dat dees beeznes ees-all von boemboog, pecause vee vants te pa geen our railreat mit de top ev de shtate, und he. make some seely combariaeas apeut de house aud de schimney.
