Some sharp girl will refuse to join, knowing that the indignant. oung men will be particularly attentive and grateful to her on that ac count; when the other girls perceive this they will begin to drop out of the re form movement until none are left • but those who would receive no attention any how. - • A Wickedness Denounced. We recently published the charge of a Protestant Bishop/of-one of the North ern dioceses, in which be thought proper to warn his people against the growth of the horrible crime of fceticide. In a re port of a sermon delivered in the Balti more Cathedral on the 14th, the Catholic Mirror represents Archbishop Spalding as saving: - "Finally the most reverend orator said that he could scarcely trust himself to re fer to what was still behind, and was far worse than all this—an abomination lead ing to the depopulation and desolation of the land; to excesses worse than the mur der of the innocent by• Herod, because committed not so much through sudden passion or the motive of cruel ambition, but with deliberately wicked purpose; a practice worse, probably, than any ever generally adopted even among heathens, but which, nevertheless, was becoming frightfully common in this enlightened age and country, and which was even oc casionally defended as an evidence of growing enlightenment. •He would not refer more particularly to a turpitude too shockinglo think of, one which should not even benamed among Christians; but he deemed it a sacred and solemn duty to give this warning, in general arid sufil- ciently intelligible language ' as, though these horrible and unnatural excesses re ferred to were -almost unknown among Catholics, and were not as yet, thank God, believed, to have reached this lati tude, at leaat to any great extent, they were fast approaching us, and threaten ing the ruin of our people, body and soul. He wished to put it on record that the Catholic Church utterly abhors such abominations in every form and sha'pe, and under whatsoever pretext they are practiced, as an atrocious violation of the divine commandment, "Thou shalt not kill.' " • 4ikay Spans Over the Ohio. Roebling, the. builder, thinks bridges across our great rivers should be constructed with less 'than five hundred feet span over the main channel, and that the length should be governed by local surroundings, but he is'opposedto struc- tures on the coinmon trues plan, and would substltate another, combining the suspension with the arch and trussplans, which, he contends, would ensure perfect safety and durability. He condemns the common truss bridges, because it does not , admit, safely, a length of span Much greater than tour hundred feet; and be cause the increase of expense is dispro portionately great when it exceeds three hundred feet spars. Mr. Roebling is also opposed to narrow bridges,and expresses the opinion that those of. hirty or forty feet wicitlfare safer; as being less affected by motionof cars,: or force, of:wind.'

It Is intimated, however—though with what;degree of truth cannot well be as cermivd—that not more than two such letters of invitation will need to be mail ed, as all other gentlemen that, have been mentally lielected by the General are now:in Washington. PITTSBURGH - GAZETTE : THURSDAY, FE Turkish shops and Baiiids. An eastern bazaar is usually conceived of as possessed of Oriental magnificence: The reality hardly comes up to tha ex pectation. They- are quite:eclipsed, I think, by a modern European street of well furnished 'stores. Yet I can well un leratand how in a past age they may have acquired their reputation, and they are by no means contemptible displays at present. The principal one I have en tered is perhaps half a mile long, with side issues at right angles, say at an equal aggregate length. It is of brick or stone, arched overhead, with windows in the arches sufficient to admit the light. In the center is ,a passageway, eight or ten feet in width, and on either side contin uous; ranges of shops,,,or stores, as we should term them. The goods are all open and displayed, but back of them are magazines and stories, for . further sup plies. The avenue was thronged when I was ( in, one to - three thousand people, I should judge, being present, and as Turk ish; trade is carried on with an immense amount of chaffering, the scene was yery fide y. Small shops, hardly larger than si: y eight , or ten feet, -'for - the sale of ,go s, or the use of mechanics, are also ere through the city . But the ci i pr', cipa. traffic seems carrxdOn in the bah ar—those dealing in similar articles constituting one bazaar.—bt M., 'in Springfield .Repubfican. The Last. Donis of a Prince. Details of lliti moat touchiing nature are given of the last days of . the young Prince Royal of Belgium.- His intelli gence was developed in an extiaordinary manner, and he was, moreover, posses sed of a generosity and nobility.of nature rare at any age. From the 14th to the hour of his death he was constantly de lirious, and heat was I ,onlyimaintained by bags of hot sand, renewed every hour. In the intervals of delirium his intelli gence never totally left him. He expired with his father and mother at each aide of his bed, in presence of the Duchess of Ursel, Mistress of the Robes; MM. South oz and Doines, his tutors, to whom he was tenderly attached; Drs. Witmer and Henriette, two Sisters of Charity, and two servants in attendance; while the King's chaplain chanted the prayer for the dying. He breathed One deep sigh and died. The Queen, who had not quitted his bedside or changed her dress for fox ty-eight hours, was carried out of the room in a fainting state. The King became so frightfully excited that it was thought that bleeding would be neceseary. The Prince was laid 'dressed in white, on the bed on which he died, a crown of fresh white roses on the pillow, a statuette of the Virgin at the foot of his bed, and the toys with which he last played on the counterpane. Everybody has noticed the delicate white bodies of frogs, devoid of their colored coats and trowsers, stretched out on ice in the'vrindows of restaurants, and looking like very diminutive-babies in primitive costume. The number of these succulent little fellows that are daily consumed in this city is not small, and a large part of their come from the romantic bulks of the Calumet, south df the city, employing the services of quite a number of fishermen. It is said that some of these experts become - so skillful that theycan ,tell, in a bed of mud, ex actly where a frog has burled himself. As high as five dollars each hai been paid by our medical colleges in winter time for living frogs. The reptiles are used for experiments in galvanism. .As nothing else will answer, the professor must have a supply, even if the ice be a foot thick. The same people who in autumn ; Lring frogs to Exench restau rants, procure them in the dead of winter. When first - taken from the frozen mud •they are as stiff as the imitations of them in cast iron that we see in ornamental fountains. In a bath of tepid milk, they noy„ only become active but hungry.. The price is sometimes as high as a dollar each. The following are the most amusing and easily prepared: Yellows—Sulphate of copper and sal amoniac- equal parts dissolved In water. 2d. Onion juice. Both colorless when first applied, but visible when heated. Black —A weak In fusion of galls, show upon application of a weak solution of proto-sulphate of Iron. 2d. .A weak solution of proto-sulphate of iron; gives a blue when moistened with a weak solution of prosslate of potash; . black; when•moistened with infusion o f galls.

Children are qualified bldisings; but whether altbgether or only partly so, they are necessary. Wipit sort of a plight sh.mid we reach In a century or so, without them? pitiable, no doubt. Then let us - be kind to the young folks. Let us recollect that we were once such, and likely enough,, were just as colsy. rollicking, nonsensic al, mulish as any that we see about us, and whom we are apt to censure as a nuisance. Children are properly never a nuisance, though sometimes, as in case of a young gentleman and lady, who like to be alone, they approach that style. The worst of children at Such that Is, they blab any. little tokens orfamlllarlty and affection whiclu they , observe. "Ps, I see Mr. Fergu son kiss Aunt Marrlota in the parlor "or "Mint Mary had her aryl around Xr. Ferguson's neck," and kindre4' expressions, though true - enough, ire not pleasant to be noised -abroad by stentorian' lungs. Slightly, a nuisance then, possibly, but rarely otherwise. touts Bniurre, in 1840, by perm's- Bien of the Britis h Government, removed the remains of Napoleon I from St. Helena, and depOsited them. on Decem bei 15th of that year, in the hotel des Invalides. On January .08th hot, 'the French Senate had before it two petitions calling for the removal of the remains of . Louis Philippe from England to France. .The grounds brought forward in one of these petitions were • that Ahe late King had brought the bones of Napoleon` 'from St. Helena, to Prince; but the Senate re jectedthe petitions, laying down,,"that the pious duty of,restorirhg these 'noble ashes Wtheir native soil belonged exclu sively to the family of the illustrious dead."
