I do not like to sow the seeds of suspicion in the minds of parents about their children, but there are thousands and thousands of parents in our great cities who think, who know, that their chil dren "never He," and yet their tongue is like a bended bow. They think their children never drink; but there Is not a fashionable saloon with in a mile of their homes that the boys are not fa miliar with. They think their children never do U' virtuous things; and yet they reek with unvlr wb0' wh#n they return to their father's houses, are sunnosed to have been making visits to this or that person. It Is a mere guise. ^ ^ ThepracUceof allowing children to go out at night to find their own companions and their own ,a?HUSt'V^ut leave one in twenty un scathed and without danger: but I think that nineteen out of twenty fail down wounded or de stroyed. And If there Is one thing that is more im perative tliun smother it Is that your children should be at home at nikt- or irtrhth?Lmare?abr0aa' you Shall'be abrOatl J^th them. There may be things that It Is best that you should do for your chil dren, though you would not do them for your 8elves;but they ought not to go anywhere at night, to see sights, or to take pleasure unless you can p with them, until they are Sowntoman's estate and their habits are formed. And nothing is more certain than that to grant the child liberty to go outside of the parental roof and its rI bZfeSi'i6 da?;to?f 0f night Tb^ind on^ bad, and that continually.

Acts Approved by tne President After Congress Adjourns. To the Editor of The Evening Stab: In Friday's star you say, in relation to the cap* tured or abandoned property act, which President Lincoln approved eight days after congress ex pired, that "Congress re-enacted the act of March 12th, section by section, in what 13 known as the act of July 2d, 1804. By that means all the pro visions of the act were made valid and thus con troversy and litigation avoided. In that way the act of 1864 superseded the invalid act, and It Is the latter that hns been administered by the court ef claims.'' in this you have been misinformed and are entirely in error. The act of July 2,1804, In stead of re-enacting the act of March 12, "section by section," proceeds throughout upon the recog nition of the validity ot the former act, and ex tends and amends it in some particulars, and leaves others and the most vital parts unchanged. Section 1 provides the places where "sales of cap tured and abandoned property under the act of ap proved March 12,1863," may be made. Section 2 enacts "that in addition to the cap tured and abandoned property to be received, col lected and disposed of at provided in taid act, the Bald acrnts shall take charge, &c., of abandoned lands, houses and tenements," and "that the first section ot the 'act to provide for the collection of abandoned property and approved March 12,1863,' Is hwby extended so as to Include certain other property mentioned In the confiscation acts fie.," "and section six of said first mentioned act is hereby amended so as to include every discrlptlon of property in the acts of July 13.1861, and July 17,1862, aforesaid.'' Section 6 repeals so much of "tne fourth section ot the act approved March 12, 1863, as directs the manner ot distributing fines, Senaltles and fofeitures." congress would not ave repealed what never had any fore. Seectlon 7 provides that property seized upon inland waters by the naval forces shall not be regarded a prize, but "shall be promptly delivered to the proper offi cers ot the courts or as provided In this act and In the said act approved March 12,1883." There Is nowhere in the act the slightest Indica tion that Congress regarded the act of March 12, 1863, as invalid. As shown above, It Is many times cited as the art approved March 12, and if it had been considered not to be in force it would have been confirmed or re-enacted. That was not done, but with more additions and the repeal of part of one section, all its other provisions were left un touched. Especially is that the case with the third section, which is not even referred to in the act of July 2,1864, and yet It contains the provi sion giving to the Court of Claims Jurisdiction to hear and determine claims o( loyal owners for the proceeds of property taken under that act. The court- of Claims derived its whole jurisdiction in captured or abandoned property cases from this third section, and that court gave judgment in favor of more than 500 claimants for sums amount ing in all to nearly ten million dollars, and many of the cases-went to the Supreme Court on appeal, and that court took Jurisdiction without question ing the validity ot the act. Seo Hodges, case 18, Court of Claims Reports, p. 700. If a committee of Congress made a report against the validity of the uct. Congress did not follow it, but proceeded upon exactly the opposite conclu sion. Reports ot committee do not make the law, they bind nobody, und are nut to be set up to overcome the action of Congress itself, the execu tive and the judiciary. ?

The commissioner* took considerable testimony, all of jrhich was taken down by a stenographer, and wrill be published with the report 01 their conclusions in the matter. Mr. Lyman said to-day that the investigation had taken a wide scope, the commissioners having found it desirable to extend It, owing to the ex cited state of public feeling in Philadelphia, due to a large extent to the attitude of the press to wards Mr. Harrlty. There had heen some hostility to the commissioner*, be said, on the fiart of partisan newspapers, because the nvestigatlon was a secret one. They asserted that the result would be a white-washing report. The Cuiumisslonejs thought It advisable to con duct their investigation with closed doors, as the objects which they sought to obtain might other wise be defeated. But they proposed to publish all the testimony, so that anyone could see on what their conclusions are based. "Ot course," said Mr. Lyman, "I can say nothing as to wnat the result of the Invest lgatlon will be." When the commissioners return to Philadelphia next week they may take additional testimony, If It is found that points in Mr. Uarrlty's statement require 1U NO FlKAMCrfAL PANIC. yir.

Chicago Bucket Shops. From the Ohicairo Mail. The biggest winning made in any of the bucket shops in a single day during this pork corner has been $13,500. There have been bigger stories told, but the manager of the biggest bucket shop here gave these figures to the writer yesterday. He knows whereof he speaks, for a private wire en circles all these shops, and they are as closely allied as the pool rooms are In the height of the racing season. It has been a nervy thing for the bucket shops to run "wide open" in this pork deal as they have, and their courage probably has been due largely to the tact that they were as much In the dark over the corner as anybody else. They were not uble to settle definitely that there was a corner. So long as they were in that frame of mind they did not hesitat# to take any bets that anybody wanted to offer, for the bucket shop theo ries are that because a man thinks be knows a thing is no reason why he does, and that a man wit h a pointer is not nearly so dangerous a char acter as he thinks he i& ? If there was a faro bank that gave out publicly that it would allow anybody to bet anything from $50 to $10,000 on the turn of a card, It would attract gamblers here from all over creation. In fact, a house that advertises that it will allow a man t o bet $250 on the turn of a card Is considered a shining mark among the professionals But so far the large bucket shops in this city have actu ally allowed their customers to bet any sum? $10,000, If they so desired?on the course of pork; anil the worst slap any of them has gotten so far has been the loss of $13,500 to a lucky gambler. On that day (Monday) that shop lust $14,500 more than It took In. That loss was not comparable to the ones It received last Noveinljer when the whole list of stocks at New York was advancing. In a single day in that month the same concern which lost $14,500 on pork Monday lost $40,000 on stocks. The Depth of Imitative Perfidy. From the Cornhill Magazine. Queerer still than the caterpillars which pretend to be leaves or flowers for the sake of protection* are those truly diabolical and perfidious Brazilian spiders which, as Mr. Bates observed, are bril liantly colored with crimson and purple, but "double themselves up at the base of leaf stalks so as to resemble flower buds, and thus deceive the Insects upon which they prey." There is some thing hideously wicked and cruel in this lowest depth of imitative infamy. A flower bud Is some thing so Innocent and childlike; and to disguise one'self as such for purposes of murder and rapine argues the final abyss of arachnoid perfidy. It reminds one of that charming and amiable young lady in Mr. Robert Louis Stevenson's "Dynamiter," who amused herself in moments of temporary gaiety by blowing up inhabited houses, inmates and alL out of pure lightness of heart and girlish frivolity. An Indian mantis or praying insect, a little less wicked, though no less cruel than the spiders, deceives the flies who come to his arm under the false pretence of being a quiet leaf, upon which they may light In safety for resh and refreshment. Yet another abandoned member of the same family, relying bodly upon the resources of tropical nature, gets itself up as a complete orchid, the. head and fangs being moulded in the exact image of the beautiful blossom, and the arms folding treacherously around the un happy insect which ventures to seek for honey in its deceptive Jaws. Decline of the Billiard Tahie New York Letter in the Providence JeuraaL I met a man to-day who, when 1 last aaw him, was a conspicuous personage in the billiard table trade, and was surprised to learn from him that he was going into other business and that the hit Hard supply trade was at a very low ebb. You re member that a certain very Urge western Ann of pushing men some years ago began extending their trade in billiard tables farther and far ther until they gobbled up one after another of their rivals and about two years ago practi cally monopolized the business, ft now ap pears that they have overstocked the bar and billiard rooms, have cut down and recon structed about all of the old-fashioned tables that needed It and now have little else to rely oh than the very minute business ot supplying the few pri vate families that can afford tables of their own and haven't got them already. Part of the largest billiard table factory in the country is now rented to a manufacturer of cheap pianos, and the largest billiard table manufacturers are now directing their attention to the manufacture of bar-room counters and saloon fittings generally.

Dancing or KiMing. T. W. H. in Harper'* Bu>r. It. may be assorted, in a general way, that wher ever In the United States you do not ami dancing you nnd kissing. In communities where dancing was disapproved I have seen "string gimes"vailed for and carried luto pracUoe at entertainments held In school houses and even at church sociables. In such places church member*?and, for aught I know, deacons?take part In the amusement; and I have seen It develop a (riskiness, so to speak, in grizzled men, which made t hem, one would say, anything but seductive or beguiling to the young and fair. Among t hose of earlier years kissing bc comes in such communities a systematic pursuit, like hunting or fishing. Young girls wiiomc pa rent s object to it are neglected or disliked: a young man in such a village told a friend of mine, with some indignation, that she was thcouly girl In town whom he had uot kissed, it is of no us*' to object to It as Immoral where the church mem bers are committed to It. perhaps It ennnot be called Immoral; but when society ha* reached a certain stage of refinement these games \ anish.

Hardly had the girl fallen dead at his feet, when he pressed the muzzle of tlie weapon to his own forehead, and sent a ball crashing into his brain, lie tell near the girl.
