Tbs News from Europe.

The advices by the Fulton and Palestine,
the latest to the oath ult, state that the
weather in France was most discouraging,
and the harvest must be unfavOrable. France
admits breadstufs duty free At Liverpool
brsadstuffs still tend upward ewing to un-
favorable weather.
The general news is also Of interest It is
confirmed that the wonderful Garibaldi has
commenced operations in Calabria. Large
bodies of revolutionists had landed, when
they were Joined by insurgents to the number
of 1000, with whom they retired tempora-
rily to the mountains. Two companies Of
NeapOlitan dragons had gone over to Carl
baldi. His forces on the mainland amounted
to quite formidable army. Meantime pre-
parations for the defence of Naples were going
on, though the sdWces indicate that the city
viii be captured with comparatively little
trouble, on account Ofthe general dissatisfac
tion which prevails sgsinst the Government

In reference to the enlistments in progress
in England for Garibaldi's army, an interest
ing conversation took place recently in tn
House Of Commons. An Irish member, in
terested in behalf of the Pope, called attention
Of the government to the violation of tn
neutrality laws. Lord Palmerston replied
that twas impossible to execute them agains
volunteers; that when enlistments were mad
in Ireland for the service of The Pope, tn
interference of the government was thwarte
by the pretence of the recruits that they wer
going to work on the POpe's railroads. an
that Garibaldi's men would doubtless claim
be going over to Sicily to see how Mt. Eth
was coming on, which they might very we
do owithout violating the laws Ofnations.

The PnhIIe schools.

The Schools of the City, after the Summer
vacation, opened on Monday with full at
tendance generally, a few of them over
crowded with pupils. Among those so re-
ported are the Hicks Street Primary, and al
so the Rockwell Street Eagle Street and
Brownell Street Primary Schools The Board
have under consideration measures to relieve
those Schools by renting additional rooms,
and sending pupils to other schools. While
upon this subject, we trust the Board will abb
rogate custom which is operating very in
juriously to the public schools in one Ward
a. least, the Third. 1t is the granting Of per-
missions to parents residing in the Ward to
send their children to public schools out of
the Ward. So many Of the bestpupils ofthe
Ward have thus been withdrawn from the
West St. Clair Street schools, as to seriously
trench on their prosperity and standing, and
to threaten not only the diseontinuance OF
the Grammar Department but the vacation
and sale of the sch ool building. Both these
projects we understand are favored by the Su-
perintendent, and some of the leading men,
bers of the Board of Education.
Now if there is Ward in the city which
more than any other needs good Free Schools
it is the Third, and nothing could be more
suicidal to the system than the discontinu-
ance lately proposed. The property of the
Ward pays full proportion of School taxes
in the city, and it has plenty of children of just
the class, in the main, that the Free Schools
are established to educate and make good
citizens Of Many of them are the "rOoI
mans blessings" and they have just as good
a right to School privileges, and of the best
grade, under the wise and benign free schoo
system of Ohio, as the sons and daughters o
afauence. The distinction made in granting
leave to attend schools out Of the district wa
never contemplated by the school law which
places all children on perfect equality. Tit
practice diminishes numbers, and, worse than
that, disheartens teachers and degrades schools
If parents choose to send their children IL
private schools it is their privilege, but it i
not Just to the district to allow any to los
their interest in the public schools OF thei
own Ward, and to do nothing to maintain
their character and efficiency, by granting spe
cial privileges.

How OH wells are Worked.

A correspondent of the New York Even
ing Post thus describes the manner in which
the various wells in the oil district are oPer-
ated. He says: The wells are all after one
model, the artesian, varying in depth from
seventy-five to four hundred feet, an iron pipe
of fTe-inch bore being inserted in each, and
driven to the rock, usually some thirty-fve
or forty feet below the surface. A pump is
inserted through this opening with tubing
sufficient to carry it to the proper oil open
inp. and by means Of haxseed bag the
waters from above the oil are shut of, and
the oil thus prevented from rising outside
the pump. The pump is then worked by a
steam engine, and discharges mixture
Of oil and salt water into a large vat stand
ing near, where the oil Immediately separat-
ing, runs of at an aperature in the top into
smaller vat, and the water is drawn of by
suitable opening in the side. From thu
second vat the oil is drawn Immediately In
to barrels and ready for market. The eI'
pense of running pump is said to be not
over six dollars per day.

Two NOBLE BoYs.-A correspondent OF the
Independent inst. Louis, Missouri, communi-
Gates the following story as strictly true
A few evenings since, two little boys, about
FIVE years old, were walking together along
one Of the fashionable streets of our city. As
they were passing q private residence they
stopped, attracted by the roses and honey
suckles that filed the small front yard with
fragrance and beauty.
After looking for some minutes silently
and wistfdlly, the following dialogue took
place: -,
WilIe-"How 1 wish we had some Of
them"
Freddy-"But It would be wrong to take
them"
Willie There are so many of them, and
they are so pretty, Do you think it would
be wrong to take Just one2"
Freddy-gY Yes, it would be wicked"
Willie" Yes, it would so; come, letus 60
away"
During all this time Mrs. B., the lady
of the house, was standing, unseen by the
bows. looking through the closed blinds at
tentively listening to the conversation
When the last remark was made, she threw
open the blinds, her eyes brimming with tear
and cried out:
"You dear, noble little boys, come here
and you shall have every flower in the yard
Beautiful as are the flowers, they are not t
be compared with the beauty of your homes
hearts. Your mothers should be proud 0
Won and you of them. If either you sRoult
ever be President of the United States, as
hone YOU may be, may you never forget how
vo5 resisted this temptation. And she liter
| slly stripped every rose and honeysuckl
/ from the bushes, and sent the boys away
with their arms full Of flowers, and with
thousand blessings on their heads.

Land Sale In Iowa---IIomestead Law.


President Buchanan has issued his procla-
nation for the sale, in November next, of one
aud quarter million acres of public lands in
the State Of Iowa These lands are situated
ia the Fort Dodge and Sioux districts, and
are SAID to embrace some most excellent
land.
Were the Republicans in power, remarks
the Iowa City Republican these lands, in
stead Of being sold to swell the Golfers of a
spendthrift Democratic Administration, would
be given to the hardy pioneers who might
choose to settle upon them and improve them.
Every new settler, who strikes his tent on
the wild, unimproved territory of the coun-
try, suffers privation and hardship enough to
receive his lands free, without being obliged
to work to pay for them. He more than re-
munerates the government in the improve
ment Of the land, in converting it from
wild waste to beautiful farm, the abode Of
peaceful and legal citizens. Governmental
parsimony to our brave pioneers and settlers
is thing which not only recoils upon the
Justice and magnanimity OF the government
itself, but recoils upon the best and msst per-
manent interests of the State.

great strife was on Sheriff. The fight was
Myers and Anti-Myers who a Jew demo-

The raging Democracy were out last night
in all their ruggedness. They had she old

saw such another sight. No pen can describe
the scenes which were witnessed at the polls
in almost every section of the city. One un-
acquainted with the facts, might have imag-
ined all the menageries of the country "bust-
ed up" and the animals engaged in promis-
cuous battle. Night was made hideous with
wild yells, and wilder profanity. Here a
fierce scrimmage; there an irresistible rush
and miscellaneous knock down. Here and
there the ballots were scattered to the four
winds, or tumbled into the gutter, and every
where, almost, riot and disorder reigned ram

The Cumberland Civilian is the third Bell

pOunced its preference for Lincoln to any
other candidate than its own. The Civilian
says; ,..,,-..L-.
We are not ignorant Of the fact that there
exists in this county very warm sympathy
for The election Of Mr.. Lincoln in preference
to any Democrat not only upon the part OF
the naturalized citizens, but also among the
native born who are opposed to the Democra-
cy. This sympathy might lead them to vote
the Republican ticket, if by so doing the
sham Democracy could be beaten in the
State; but knowing this cannot be effected,
they intend to vote for Bell and Everett fol
the great-the predominant-the ruling and
controlling sentiment Of our people is for the
defeat of the DemocAcy-frst by Bell and
Everett, if it can be, and if not BY them
then by Mr.. Lincoln.

The Chnrge Confessed.

The Peoria Democratic Union, a Douglas
paper, admits that the offensive language said
to have been used by Douglas, in regard to
Henry Clay, at CarrOlltOn, H., in 1874, is
genuine. That journal says:
Some years ago, Douglas was candidate
for Congress in the Sixth Congressional Dis
trict of Illinois. Hon David NJ. Woodson
was his opponent. During the canvass, they
smoke at Carrollton, and in his speech at that
place Douglas used the following language;
"Henry Clay is a black hearted traitor, and
the only American statesman who euer sold
himself for British qold"
