INSURGENCY OF School KNOWLEDGE.
/" The youth who fancies himself educated
because he has fully mastered ever so many
branches of mere school learning, is labor
ing under deplorable and perilous delu-
sion. He may have learned all that the
schools, seminaries, and even our miscalIed
universities, necessarily teach, and still be
pitiable ignorant man, unable to earn a
weeks subsistence to resist the promptngs
of perverted appetite, or to shield himself
from such common results of physical de-
pravity, as dyspepsia, hypochondria, and
nervous arrangement. A master of Greek
and Hebrew who knows not how to grow
potatoes, and can be tempted to drown his
reason in the intoxicating bowl, is far more
imperfectly educated than many an unlet-
tered backwoodsman."

the Iron city a great deal of trouble. He is deter
mined to show them that Joe Barker is Mayor, and
that his enemies shall taste the sweets of the dungeon
he so long enjoyed. He has arrested the Sheriff for
miSdemeanor, the Catholic Bishop as nuisance and
and the City Council for conspiracy, and threatens
to imprison any judge who on habeGs earpus dis
charges any of his prisoners. After he had commit
ted the city council to Jail, he closed his remarks
with the following emphatic language:
