INVENTION TO EXCLUDE DUsr FROM RAIL.
ROAD CARs.-The flying of dust when dis
turbed, rises from under the car, and goes
out at its side, and then passing through the
window spaces and ventilators, fills the cars.
To prevent the rising of the dust at the sides
OF the car, near the wheels, series of Stats,
placed in horizontal frame, extending the
length of the car. The frame and stats re-
semble the ordinary Venitian window blinds.
The Stats turn on their axes, SO that they
may be adjusted TO any degree of oblquity
When the cars are in motion. as is well known,
strong current Of air passes in through the
Stats on each side of the car and being stron-
ger than the current under the car, drives the
DUST out under the cars at the rear end Of
the whole train. The dust cannot pass out
on the sides of the car-the strong current of
air coming in through the stats preventing it,
and driving it entirely cut of the way Buff

The NoRTuMEN AT MoNHEoAN.-We some
weeks since noticed the fact that DR.. Hamlin
OF this city, who visited the island of Monhe-
gan, in quest of curious figures said to exist
upon rocks there, was successful in his inves-
ugation. He took casts of the inscriptions in
plaster from the face of the ledge in which
they appear. Fac SMILES of these casts will
be sent to the Archaeological Society at Co
penhagen. Drawings of the same have also
been sent to Rev. DR.. jerks, distinguished
antiquarian of Boston, by whom they were
at once recognized as Runic characters, but
their translation will have to come from the
Copenhagen Society, which possesses the
means TO give it.-Bdngor Journal.
UNIVERSAL EDUcATIoN.-It is impossible
for US adequately 10 conceive the boldness of
the measure which thus aimed at universal
Education, through the establishment of Free
Schools. AS fact, it had no precedent in
the worlds history and as theory it could
have been refuted and silenced by more for
midabie array of argument and experience
than was ever marshaled against any other
institution of human origin. But time has
ratified its soundness. Two centuries of sue
cesstul operation now proclaim it to be as
wise as 1t was courageous, and as beneficent
as it was disinterested. Every community in
the civilized world awards it the need of
praise; and States at home and Nations
abrI ad, in the order of their intelligence, are
copying the bright example. What we call
the enlightened nations of Christendom, are
approaching, by slow degrees, to the moral
elevation which our ancestors reached at a
single bound and the tardy convictions of
the one have been assimilating, through a
period of two centuries, to tie institutions of
the other.-Rorace Mann
