APLEA FOR INNOCENCE.

Mr. Wigfall objects to the admission Of
Kansas to the Union on account of "its bad
moral character" He says he is unwilling
that "Texas should associate with such q
State" We must say that this is an objec-
sion worth considering. If Mr.. Wigfall can
show that the morality Of Kansas 10 at so

HYDROPHOBuA CURED.

A gentleman from Waterloo, Black
hawk county, relates TO US q very singular
case which came under his notice at that
place last week. There vas an individual
there on q visit to q sister, who nine years
ago was bitten by . rabid dog. Four times
every year since that time be has bad rcgu.
lar paroxysms. Our informant relates that
be saw him during one Of them. lie is con.
scious when they are coming on, and giving
notice to his friends, is properly secured.
This time his elbows were confined behind
him With cord, and his feet were fastened
to the bed. Soon after he fell into spssms,
during which he growled and barked almost
precisely like dog, snapped bis jaws, and
frothed ut the mouth. Several of these
paroxysms succeeded each other at short
intervals, leaving him so utterly weakened
each time that il seemed impossible for him
to revive. However, be vac out again the
next morning, and did not seem very df-
fereht from Usual, except be was extremely
weak and pale" ..
The above, from the Dubuque Herald,
having found its way into the Burlington
Hdpkeye, o correspondent Of the latter pa
per proceeds to supply "two most remark
able facts connected with this singular
CASE" which, he declares, are omitted in
the Herald's account-to-wii:
"One is that this man has lived in Water
loo just nine years, Gust the time he has had
the hydropbobia.) lie was taken immedi-
a.ely on moving there. ....... ..-.
The other fact is that after the attack has
been on him twelve or fifteen minutes, let
an adult person suddenly cry out in bis
presence and hearing, =" What is the matter

AMERICAN EDUCATION,

A writer in the Atlantic Monthly, has the
following remarks on American Education:
Al! feeding establishments have something
odious about them-from the wretched
couutry-house where paupers are farmed
out to the lowest bidders, up to the common.
tables at colleges, and even the fashionable
boarding -house-a persons appetite should
be a, war with no other purse than his own.
Young people, especially, who have bone
factory at work IN them, and have to feed
the living looms of innumerable tissues,
should be provided for, if possible, by those
that love them like their own flesh and blood.
Elsewhere their appeti,es will be sure to
make them enemies, or, what 10 almost as
bad, friends whose interests are at variance
with the claims of their exacsing necessities
and demands.
Besides, all commercial transactions in
regard to the most sacred interests Of life
are hateful even TO those who profit by
them. The clergyman, the physician, the
teacher, must be paid; but each Of them, if
bis duty be performed in the true spirit,
can hardly help a shiver of disgust when
money is counted out to him for admins.
some precious life, for sowing the seeds of
Christian civilization, in young, ingenious
souls.
And yet, all these schools, with their
! provincial French, and their mechanical
accomplishments, with their cheap parade
OF diplomas and commencements and other
public honors, have an ever fresh interest
to all who see the task they are performing &
| in our new social order. These girls are
not being educated for governcsses, or to be
exported, with other manufactured articles,
to colonies where there happens to be sur
plus Of males. Most of them will be wives,
and every American. born husband 10 a pos
sible President of these United States. Any
Of these girls may be four years queen.
There is no sphere of humsn activity 90
exalted that she mas not be called upon to
| fll it.
But there is another consideration of
far higher interest. The education Of our
community to all that il beautiful 10 flowing
in mainly through its women, and that to q
considerable extent by the aid of these
large establishments, the least perfect Of
which do something to stimulate the higher
tastes and partially instruct them. Some
times there is, perhaps, reasons to fear that
girls will be too highly educated for their
own happiness, il they are lifted by their
culture out of the range Of the practical
and every day working youth BY whom they
are surrounded. But this is risk We must
take. Our young men come into active life
so early, that if our girls were not educated
to something beyond mere practical dutics,
our material prosperity would outstrip our
culture, as it often does in large places
where money is made to rapidly. This is
the meaning, therefore, Of that somewhat
ambitions programme common to most
Of these large institutions, at which We
sometimes smile, perhaps unwisely or un-

potic rule did not work the abolition Of the
baser passions Of human nature. But halt
a century elapsed, and this free governmen,
is ruled by despotic interest, the Republic
sinks into the mirs Of Slavery and corrup-
tion, sinks deeper and deeper, and the hops
Of humanity sinks With il. The advocates
Of despo'ism predict its downfall from day
to day, and proclaim with exultation that
the great experiment Of human self govern
mens has failed. II is in vain that the best
men Of the nation, Ike the prophets Of old,
rise Up against the growing Generalization.
They are sneered at and prosecuted, or, at
best, their efforts remain isolated and ap-
parently frui,less. Suddenly great start
ling outrage is psrpesrated; the slave
power, with its train Of corruption and
Decentralization, shows itself in its naked
deformity, and threatens to swallow down
the whole future Of the country in one
gulp.
Now the popular conscience wakes up.
The people Of the North rise to q last great
effort. The frst attempt to rescue the de-
velopment of the Republic from the grasp
OF that desposic power fails, but the move
mens grows in dimentions and intensity.
We press on aud on, and the day of deliv-
erance is at hand. Oh, il comes at last
How We have longed to see it How We
counted every minute by the impatient
throbbings Of our hearts! We rally in
formidable array; every 6bre Of our being
srembles with eagerness for the greatest of
struggles; every pulsaiicn Of our blood
beats the charge! We place one Of the
puress, noblest and ablest men Of the nation
at the head of our army-vic,ory is within
our grasp.
No man in whose soul glows a spark Of
sympathy for struggling humanity, can now
stand idle. No heart that was ever fred BY
the divine breath Of liberty, can now remain
cold. lGreat applause.
Let Wisconsin stretch her hand across
the grear lakes and grasp that of New York.
Let it be known that New York aud Wis
consin, who stood together to the last for
Seward in the Convention, will be the 6rst
and foremost in the battle for Lincoln and
Liberty! Enthusiastic and loud cheering. !
