The Ohio Educational Monthly.


The November number of this journal is
received. A slip accompanying the number
recommends the articles as being all short,
which, it says, is az improvement. In aline
of improvement so practicable, perfection is
attainable. The leading article is a bio
graphical sketch of female education and
the late President Wilbur, of the Wesleyan
Female Seminary; the two, according to
the biographer, being contemporaries. 1t is
stated, also, that he had conviction that
"he was called, in the Providence Of God,
to labor in the educational department of
the Church" Such demonstration of the
divine supervision of the choice of teachers
should make people careful how they thrust
themselves into the work of female educa-
cation, without a conviction of divine call.
Extracts from the Diary of a School
Examiner" relate how dull young man ap-
piled for teachers certificate, and was re-
jected, kut he persevered, and after strug-
Cling with adverse circumstances for six
years he acquired a fair English education,
and might have done well; but alas he
turned his attention to saving money. "He
loaned out his hard earnings at a round in
terest. The first usury he received was like
the smell of blood to lions whelp." From
that he went on, seemingly Lavingno higher
aim than to acquire competency, a sad
spectacle to the educational mind.
An article entitled "The Head and the
Heart" commences with the declaration
that THE popular mind is attaching undue
Importance to the intellect, to the dangerous
if not the shameful and sinful neglect of the
heart" This is probably from an enemy of
the public school system, who wishes to
make out that education is not sufficient to
make men wise and good, wealthy and
happy; therefore we read no further in such
educational heresy.
An article on Zone of the Neglected Stud
les" recommends the teaching of the English
language in schools. Such an innovation
should be well considered before it is intro
duced.
An article on "Reforms and Reformers"
shows the benefit of Utilization as an aid to
teaching; but the following declaration
which we find in it shows that it is too heret-
ical for our readers "a Jewish Sanhedrim
could not be more Pharisaical than is the
orthodox; of so straight faith that he leans
backward, and his sublime gaze is elevated
above the wants of common mortals."
A communication shows that the public
school gymnasium-business is working. The
editor states that hereafter the Educational
will be sent to no paper which does not
exchange with it, as the Cincinnati papers
will keep the world sufficiently informed of
its existence. This is neat acknowledge
ment of the position and influence of the
metropolitan press.

BrummeI on the Police Cnnts.

The following grievous complaint against
the police we find in the Times:
''The idea in uniformiDg the police was to
give them genteel and respectable appear
ance. 1t was supposed they would take
good care of their uniforms, and renew them
as often as gentility of appearance required.
The idea is not fulfilled. Some of the po-
licemen have worn the same coats for two
years, had them darned, patched, aud
mended in all sorts of ways. Other uni
forms have actually become greasy, and look
disgustingly on the backs of their wearers.
We suggest to the Mayor and the Chief, that
it is about time for dress parade, that, if for
nothing else, those policemen whose uni
! forms are about worn out should be COM
PEELED to get new ones.
This should be seen to at once. What we
bargained for was genteel police. Inas-
much as the public are to dictate when the
police should have new coats, would it not
be decent and proper for the public to pay
for them? The pay Of policeman does not
make very large bank account especially
as it is the duty of every public officer to
have wife and contribute to the census-a
duty which his country expects of every
| Cincinnatian now, until we show our heels
| TO St. Louis.
1t may be quite as important that the
policeman's children should have bread in
their stOmacbs, as that he should have new
coat on his back, even if Brummel is dis
gusted. Good men outside the police have
worn their coats two years, and are going
on the third. In ancient times great coat
was hereditary. If they are darned, patched,
and mended in all sorts of ways, they show
frugal wives, and the patches and darns are
more honorable to their husbands than all
their bright brass buttons. The police are
uniformed for the same reason that soldiers
are: so as to be easily distinguished and not
to fall on each other by mistake. Infinite
confusion would follow if the police should
get to arresting each other as suspicious
characters. Their distinctive appearance
provided for, the public has just as much to
! do with the gentility Of the police as with
that of their wives. The police are intended
for working men, not for dandies.

The EaqUirer thinks the Mayor will need
no investigation to serve out the policemen
who arrested two of our pork-packing mer-
chants in the street on Monday, on suspicion
OF being suspicious characters meaning that
the Mayor should make them walk the plank
1t is by no means uncommon to arrest per-
sons on suspicion in this town. Why should
pork packers be exempt from the lot of or
binary mortals? And what are the signs by
which the stars are to know the P. Ps. un-
erringly2
p If it had been some poor devil who was
arrested on suspicion, instead Of letting him
90 in the street when they found he was the
wrong man, the "beaks" would have searched
him to see if they could not find a weapon
on which to lay acharge, and If every thing
else failed, they would have fallen back on
charge of vagrancy, on which divers fees,
costs and imprisonment would have re-
suited. The P. Ps. got of altogether too
easy. Let the blessings Of our police ad-
ministratiOn, like the dew of Heaven, fall
alike on rich and poor, that all may see how
good it isl

The RIectlen.

An election for President took place
throughout the United States yesterday, ac-
cordinq to previous announcement. A re-
port oft SO far as received, will be found in
our telegrapbic department. The returns
indicate the election of Mr.. Lincoln. Ex-
tensive notice has been given of various
ulterior consequences of this event. These
will probably begin to-day. It is ex-
pected that Gov. Wise will commit hari-kari
at once, and die like a Japanned Roman.
Mr.. Keitt will perform his promised feat of
rending the Union from turret to foundation
stone, burying himself in the ruins, like an
other Sampson Agonistes. Mr.. Yancey will
save his treason for domestic use, and "make
the most of it." The inability of Mr.. Breck-
inridge to decide in his own mind whether
the election of Lincoln is cause for seces-
sion, will disable him from taking any act.
i've part. Mr.. Bell will toll the knell where
Everett goes.
According to previous announcement, the
cotton States will secede to-day. There is
some danger that resolution will be frit-
tered away by the States waiting for each
other to lead off. There is an unaccounta-
BILE apathy on the part of the States imme-
diately in contact with Abolition danger.
In the next number of the PREss we shall
probably be able to give the result of the
election, and to announce the secession, un-
less the South concludes to wait for an overt
act, in which case it may be regarded as
indefinitely postponed.

Loves of the POets-POpe's Passion for
Indy Mary WOrtley MOntnHu.


Richard Henry Stoddard has Just pub
lished an interesting volume, entitled the
LoVeS and HerOineS Of the Poets, after the
style OF Mrs. Jameson's popular work, and
in long note, introducing Pope's epistles
10 Teresa and Martha Blount the editor thus
alludes to the poets passion for Lady Mary
Wortley Montagu:
He continued the correspondence warmly,
but was not answered in the same spirit.
She gossiped about what she saw in her
travels, but avoided any allusion to his pas
sion. Her letters were brilliant and enter
tanning, and must have delighted him as a
wit but they were not satisfactory to him as
a lover. After an absence of two years aud
half she returned to England with her
husband, and took up her abode in London.
Pope engaged house for them in Twicken-
ham, where he was then residing, and the
next summer they moved thither, and he
was happy. He renewed his intimacy with
Lady Mary, who was frequent visitor at
his house. He wrote notes TO her, and
verses, and got her 10 sit to Kneller for her
portrait for him. They were the best friends
in the world. By and by there came
change.
Their friendship cooled; their intimacy
ceased; they hated each other. The cause Of
the rupture was long a mystery; but years
afteTwaid, when they were both in their
graves, it came out that at some i'll chosen
time, when she least expected what roman
GERS call declaration, be made such passion
ate love to her, as, in spite of her utmost
endeavOTs TO be angry and TO look grave,
produced an immoderate fit oflaughterj from
that moment he became her implacable
enemy. After this unfortunate affair with
Lady Mary, Pope returned TO his old al
legiance with Martha BlOunt, and for the
rest OF his life was content with her love, or
friendship or whatever she gave him.
In regard TO the nature of POpe's relation
with Martha Blount, the editor believes that
the poet loved her, in his youth, as much as
he could love any one; but that being, for
some reason, averse TO marriage, he subsidized
from a lover 10 friend He managed her
affairs; quarreled with his companions in her
behalf; left her his fortune; was, in short,
the best friend she ever had She died, nine
teen years after his decease, in the seventy
fourth year of her age.

TRBM MRNDOUS
CONFEDERATION At COLUMBUS!
TIE CITY IN .
DANGER OF DESTRUC TIONl
Governor DennisOn Telegraphs
that "Thc Town is Burning
Up," and Sends to Cincinnati
for the Steam Fire Engines,
Houses Blown UP to Arrest
the Progress of the Flames.

Private kilograms inform us that fire.
broke out last evening in the Neil House,
which was completely destroyed, with all
the adjacent buildings on State-street. The
0deon Hall was to be, and doubtless was,
blown up to arrest the progress of the flames,
which threatened to consume great part of
the entire city,
Governor Dennison telegraphed here:
1--WE are burning up. Send as soon as pos
sible from your city (Cincinnati) two steam
re-engines and 1000 feet of hose" These
kilograms fortunately fell into the hands Of
Tully E'Hommedieu, Assistant Superin-
tendent of the L. NJ. R. r., who was, at last
accounts, making every effort to comply
with the request of the Governor.
The immense damage can not be stated, as
there are no means of determining how far
the fire will spread. Columbus is in immi-
nent danger, and we should not be surprised
to hear of millions of dollars of loss by the
devastating flames. Intense excitement
reigns at the capital; all the inhabitants are
out of their beds watching with terrible
anxiety the progress of the flames; every
body being in dread lest their own domicis
be burned, before the fiery element can be
extinguished.
The following telegraphic dispatch. by the
Associated Press is the latest we have re-
ceived:
COLUMBUS, o., November IL A. M
Last evening about one o'clock, the Neil
House was discovered to be on fire in the
upper story. The fire spread rapidly, owing
to the difficulty in getting water so high.
The house is now mass of ruins, and the
flames are spreading to the adjoining build
ings. Governor Dennison has telegraphed
to the Cincinnati Fire Department for as
sistauce. An extra train, with ire-engines,
will leave there at two o'clock this morning.
The telegraph wires, with one or two ex-
ceptions, are torn down.
PRESS OFFICE, 2:15 A. NJ.
The steam fre-engine "E. G.. Megrue,"
with an ample supply of hose, has been sent
to Columbus per special train, to render such
assistance as may be in her power.
