A. J. Grover on the education of the Freedmen,
concluding in these words, "The Fifteenth Amend-
ment—suffrage for the negro, land for the landless
—are important, but education for the children is
indispensable."

The Troy Times, in its New York correspond-
ence, gives the following :

" The largest owner of personal property in this city,
and in the United States, is Commodore Vanderbilt, who
is said to hold twenty millions. The Astors, whose chief
wealth is in land, have about five millions in personal
estate. Moses Taylor has about four millions, of which
his coal stocks, in connection with that of his son-in-law,
reach one million and a half. George Law has about two
millions, while out of the estate of the late John J. Phelps,
amounting in all to eight millions, about two-thirds are in
personal property. These last-mentioned men were not
ambitious of being numbered among our real estate
lords. Their moneys had been made by handling per-
sonal property, and they preferred to keep it in this shape.
They wished to have their pecuniary resources ready
for action at a moment's warning, in order to take
advantage of any opportunity. If a certain stock fell in
price they wanted to be able to buy it up, and having the
control of vast amounts of cash, they could enter Wall-
street at any time and cut right and left with gi eat effect.
Such active, nervous, resolute men do not care to be
troubled with the slow details of real estate. Real estate
is like forces shut up in a stronghold, while personal pro-
perty is like soldiers in the field. There is a constitu-
tional difference bet ween Commodore Vanderbilt and Wm.
B. Astor, which is shown by their aptitude for their pecu-
liar positions. Astor sits in an office in Prince-street and
simply holds on to his land. His life, compared with that
of an active business man, is a mere vegetation. He has
none of the excitements of gain and loss, and never knows
what it is to corner a clique or be cornered himself. Row
could such a man as Vanderbilt endure this life ? It would
bo like cooping the eagle.

The Evening Post, noticing the mania for new
railroads raging extensively at present all over
America, estimates that
" There are now building, and in various stages of com-
pletion, 1,000 miles of new road in New York State, in
addition to the 3,500 miles already in operation. How
many miles of new road are building and projected
to be built soon, in New England, a Massachusetts jour-
nal cannot ascertain, but estimates quite as many as in.
New York. It notices also that the manner of build-
ing railroads has very much changed in the last few years.
Private capital is drawn upon to a very limited extent
and States and towns furnish the funds. Recent legisla-
tion in New York very mush facilitates the bonding of
towns in aid of railroad enterprises, and it looks as thongh
the State was to be called upon to build all the new roads
in Massachusetts hereafter, or in New England, for that
matter, if one end reaches Boston. Indeed, in view of the
cheek of the Massachusetts Central folks demanding a
.big loan before they have done a stroke of work, it would
not be strange if the State should be called upon to make
the preliminary surveys for the next project."
The Springfield Republican, while condemning
the intention of making the Alabama claims a poli-
tical issue in the autumn elections, as it properly
belongs to the arena of diplomacy, censures the
tone of some literary and commercial organs of
opinion which attempt to create a feud between the
State Department and Senator Sumner on this
question—

" When the Alabama Treaty was rejected the whole
country expressed its satisfaction, not only with the vote
of the Senate, but with the argument of Mr. Sumner, who
in that matter uttered the voice of the Senate. But, since
that time, timidity, envy, the pride of opinion and the old
prejudice of the pro-slavery party against Mr. Sumner,
have been at work to cavil and disavow what he said,
and what the Senate did. By dint of much industry, and
the air of great wisdom and moderation, the malignant
enemies of Mr. Sumner, combining with Englishmen on
both sides of the ocean, and hesitating good men, who
dread to be extreme in anything, have got up such a
show of disagreement with his position, that the English
begin to hope that we shall recede from the ground taken
when we rejected the Seward-Clarendon Treaty. Nothing
would bo more unfortunate for them than to act upon such
a hope, and nothing would be easier than, by an appeal
to the American people on the direct issue, to convince
them and the whole world that our position is taken, once
for all."

Colonel Benton, Commandant at the Armory of
Springfield, Massachusetts, has sold over 100,000 repaired
Enfield muskets to the Turkish Government, and is now
shipping them by way of Boston and New York. The
Turkish officer who made the purchase says these guns
will be converted into breech-loaders snd placed in the
hands of the Turkish militia.—The awards at the Baby
Show at Tremont Temple, Boston, were distributed on.
Monday night, June 21. The only premium for triplets
was to the mother of Nellie Hope, Norah Faith, and
Hannah Charity Coughlin, of North Brookfield. The
handsomest girl baby was that of Alfred E. Stratton of
Bostofl, the fattest baby a nine months' old boy, belonging
to R. N. Ash of Somerville, and the smallest was Alice
Hillock of Charlestown, two months old, and weighing
four pounds—only one pound when born. An exhibition
of coloured babies will take place in Boston during the
present month.---A Portland n a cured one of the most
dangerous cases of cancer by d, mking red clover tea and
applying a red clover compress, and thinks it will prove
an infallible remedy in all cases.—At Stettin, in Prussia,
a project to establish a line of steamers plying between
that seaport on the Baltic and Chicago is beipg agitated.

ever discovered for the cure of liver complaints, diseases
most disastrous in their effects, deranging all the propel
functions of the organs affected, inducing restlessneso/
melancholy, weariness, inability to sleep, and pain in the

LAD VERTISEMENT.I—Henceforth no oue will doubt the valuable
properties of Du Barry's health-restoring Revalenta Arabia'
Invalids' and Infants' Food, since to the thousands of blessings
it has already received from Invalids whose position had been
deemed hopeless, we may now add that of his Holiness the Pope,
whose health has been perfectly restored by it after thirty years of
unsuccessful medical treatment. We quote from the " Gazette du
Midi," July 25th Rome, July 21, 1866. -The health of the Hell
Father is excellent, especially since, abandoning all other rale'
dies, he has confined himself entirely to Du Barry's Revaleett
Arabica Food, of which he consumes a plateful at every mesa
It has produced a surprisingly beneficial effect on his health, we
his Holiness cannot praise this excellent food too highly." " f
