I A BociAi/Xjrr.vsrv.? During several days
of last week there was in . session in the
godly' city of Boston a free-love con?
vention. 'Boston is a favorite meeting
place far the adherents of the peouUar
doctrine of. universal bawdyism. The
free-ldve doctrines attained their life on
New 'England soil, and Vtlie i Mossaohu
eetts metropolis jw annually scandalized
by the utterances of the apostles of the
system. Few people outside the range oi*
(nose revolutionists can adequately con?
ceive tho nature of one of these meetings.
?hey are composed, as . might be sup?
posed, altogether of pas.iee females and
oiddle-aged men, soured With the world

roungwomen,are frequentlyto.be found,

usually of'that age and condition of

place in the Paine Memorial Hall, m
euildingrecently erected to the memory
qf Tom Paine, the infidel. Manv of the
Boston proprietors of public nails have,
qf late years, refused, very properly, to
Sit their rooms to the free-lovers. The
aine Memorial Hall supplied the de?
ficiency, and thither the apostles went.
The -first business was the annual puss
age of resolutions. These resolutions
were to tho effect that marriage, is a curse,
and advocate the levy of n tax oh nil the
property of the nation to. pro vide for the
ohndian bora 'ant of wedloek. This is
the underlying . principle of the whole
free-love movement A Mrs." Briggs, of
Hew York, made a speech full of pro?
nounced lewdness, and' atated that she
had four children on&vats very desirous
of having. . a .good many mores but she
did nnthnveJtime for them; Other reso?
lutions were fVSsed eondomnlug prudery

"A cotiplo of strong-minded females
aoyr passed onmnd the boxes to collect
the shekels from the -audience. At the
same time, a Shaker, Miss Mary Knights,
dressed in extravagant, costume, and cur?
rying a little cane in her hand, took the
E' latform, shook out tho shirts of her
loonier gurment, and went to work.
She lelated her experience, among the
Shakers, snng n Shaker song, and then
subsided. A maiden lady, of uncertain
age, well known in a certain suburban
town as "Old Liz Crosby," indicted
some rhymes npon the audience, and es-.
pressed her wish to have the race played '

^Uuience with such words as 'practicul

like. Mr. Barker, of. California, sang a
song at the lost speaker, and then John

Speaker was indignant, and went for

Father Cluer suggested.) divorce, do. A
3oman asked the audience to repress

of said sureties have become embarrassed
in business, and to the best of your com?
mittee's information and belief, others
have little or no property in their own

the State Treasurer has failed, as re?
quired by law, to secure oilier sureties to
hw official bond, in place of the person
who has died, of those who hnve an in?
sufficiency of estate. The committee are
dearly of the opinion that the required

totally insufficient, snd should be
increased as was the bonds of Connty

it bus been supposed that in that un?
steady sort of proceeding, known as the
march of civilization, the simple and
vigorous manners of the ancient time
had been left behind. A California tale
would appear to prove that a mistake.
A San.Francisuunt wont from his home,
like Enoch Arden, and stayed away long
year*! giving no sign. The gentle xVnnie,
lift pining in solitary state, at last be?
lieved him dead and wedded an entreut- |
ing Philip. But Enoch was not dead:
one day, returning to the town, he found
his Annie soateVl at another's hearth. I
He was not at all unhappy; his resolve
upbore him. Not weakly did he say, "11
will go hence and trouble her no more." j
He was determined to arrange affairs for
that Philip, and accordingly he cried,
??What, ho! Come on!" Philip came on
?with two soft, persuasive pistols.
The gentle Annie, joying in the sight,
perceived her Enoch was unarmed.
Quickly she ran to bring a bowie knife,
and laid it on the door: then brought
two pistols, and there laid them, too.
not daring to go nearer the combatants.
And so the right went on, the lovely
.Annie smiling in the background.
Wounds and gore abounded before the
police appeared and stopped the stern
encounter. Philip and Enoch are in the
city hospital, and Annie, who is de?
scribed as extraordinarily homely, is
pmlsxbly preparing a lecture on trie af?
fair.
A comparison of the official returns ot
the New Hampshire election with those
of 1H74, fails entirely to show any sign
of that ??reaction-' upon which the Re?
publican party papers made haste to con?
gratulate themselves. Seldom, indeed,
is a political battle more completely des?
titute of positive results. The aggregate
vote for Governor, 79,202, is greater by
7,727, a little over ten per cent., than the
corresponding vote of last vout, and the
gain is divided almost evenly between the
two parties. The Republican vote is in?
creased from 31.13K to 3i),"285, a gain of
5,147; but the temperance vote has fallen
off from 2,131) to 751, and us most of tho
missing votes were undoubtedly trans?
ferred to the Republican candidates, the
Eroportion of the reserve vote received
y the latter is not much above 3,400.
On the other hand, the Democratic vote
is increased from tn.?OR to 39,103, a gain
of 5.02.?, so that the Deiuocrnts have, at
li'ast, quite held their own. In the Con?
gressional districts, they have done more
than this. In 1873, the aggregate vote
for the three Republican candidates for
Congress was 33,1*3. and for the Demo?
cratic ?candidates, 33,113. This year the
total Republican vote for Congressmen
rises to 33,013, and the Democratic vote
to 30,268. So large a vote is remarkable
in an "off year," and it shows how in?
tens?? is the public interest just now in
national politics. ? l'hUwlvl}>hia 77mm.
Mr. Merritt Galley, of Rochester, New
York, it is claimed, luis invented, and
now has on exhibition at Washington, a
telegraphic instrument for automatic
transmission, in which the objections
urged against the automatic in common
use seem to be entirely obviated. The in?
vention is emphatically '?automatic," a
single operator with a key-board not only
preparim; and accumulating the message
matter for transmission, but at will
transmitting any portion of tho same to
its proper destination, having perfect
control of his entire work, even over u
number of lines, while sitting at a single
instrument. He also exhibits an instru?
ment which requires no perforated mes?
sage strip, but by means of a peculiar
but simple mechanism, accumulates mes?
sage alter message, held within the in?
strument until such time as the line can
bo secured, when, by the stroke of a
single key, thev are sent into the line
complete. If this latter feat has been
accomplished, then wo are soon to wit?
ness a revolution in the scienco of tele?
graphy.
A rather stout black man, giving his
mime as John Hunter, appeared at tho
Washington City Police Court, recently,
and asked for a warrant against Carter A.
Stewart, the well known colored barber
and hair-dresser at Willard's, for alleged
violation of the provisions of the Civil
Rights Dill. His request was refused,
because barber-shops are not included in
the schedule of inns, theatres, Ac. He
then appeared before District Attorney
Fisher, and that officer made out the in?
formation, at tho some time informing
him that the case did not, in his opinion,
oome tinder the law; and on this infor?
mation, he asked for a warrant, whioh
waa s second time refused. He charges
that on Wednesday last, be went to
Stewart's barber-shop and asked that bis

allow it to be done in bis shop, on the

an interest in work' for young men. They
come as representatives of the Yonng

The association has greatly inc * ?
daring the post three years. The ooj<
of the associotion is to reach young- 1
with Christian influences, and* in dc
so, save many who have no home
loinilj associations. A surprising
that none of these associations have
come denominational, but welcoming
active mem bei** all young men, ho
ter to what church their preferences
dine them, they have brought yot
men together socially, opened to theirl
knock reading-rooms filled with good as-J
sociations ana innocent amusements?
giving them the .benefit of lectures, am- a
sical entertainments, and otherwise much
improving the young men with 'whom
they come in contact. This, however, is
not oB for which this noble association'S'-\
exist-s; for underlying is a steady effort to.2
culminate their membership into a strong
and perfect haxmiony with the church of
God." I
Services, conducted by Messrs. Hall %
and Cree, will be held in the 'different
churches, this moming. afternoon and
evening, and we&hope they will receive'
the hearty co-operation of the Christian? $
people of our city.
