“peakek MaARpDEN, of the Massachusetts House of Representatives, told a good story at the New England Club dinner, a few days ago, illustrative of how people sign petitions without reading them. A petition was recently received in the House praying for legislation to tix more definitely the rights of colored children in the public schools. The petition had been widely circulated by coler- ed people, and it bore the signatures of judges prominent business men, and various public viticials, without regard of color, The pre- Ritible of the’petition read, When presenjed: — "We, the undersigned, parents of colored ghildren,” ete, ,

Marrarw Arsoip.—The paper read before the Literary and Scientific Assvciation, last evening, by Mr. T. A.

of one who represents advanced thought and culture ia English society, We must say that those who spoke on the subject of the paper showed much metaphysical acumen, and their commenta were appropriately criti- eal and appreciative. Som: of the speakers | thought that Mr. Arnold, while dissenting sola SOC of ti 8 rece.ved interpretations oft poly wrig, did not furnish , substitutes to re- place ‘the <discardetl dogmas.
