odicus TO the people. This ia the universal

most radical Administration journals, proof
Of which is seen in the Offering Of such

highly educated critics. We would not

observed one sipgularity about the pupils

We knew two families in Southern Ohio
many years ago: the parents of one family
bought land for their children, the parents
of the other educated their little fock.-
The result was that the latter grew up and
took position among the directing class of
society, while the former were unknown
except in the matter Of property. One
ounce OF cultivated brains gives man or
woman more influence than one hundred
acres of cultivated land, where the owner
is obliged to borrow information from his
neighbcr. Educate your children then,
and draw on them in age for the invest

where they will be more carefully looked
after than they will be at Fayette. We are
a little partial to this University, because,
perhaps. it is the only college we ever enter.

Denfln OfCuhaa.

Isabel Cubas the popular danseuse, died
in New York on Monday evening, after
long and painful illness. Her disease was
consumption. She retained her conscious
ness almost to the last. and made her will,
in legal form, during the afternoon.
Cubas was born at Valencia del Cid, in
Spain, in the year 1887. She was conse-
quently twenty years old when she
died. Her parents and grand parents were
very clever artists, well known throughout
Spain. At an early age Cubas displayed
extraordinary skill as a dancer, and soon
appeared before the public, travelling
through Russia, Turkey, Austria and
France. Her last appearance in the Old
World was at the Lyceum, London, under
the management of Celeste who thorough
ly appreciated her wonderful powers. eE
Some time ago she became an American
citizen. She leaves daughter aged about
six years. Hermother, sister and brother
are in this country, and well provided for.
AS a dancer, Cubas was unequalled in vo-
luptuous expression and tropical grace.
As woman, the sincere grief Of her many
friends is her best eulogy. Descdnce en- pas.

FEELINGS OF THE PEOPLE.
Two years ago the people expected
Richmond to fall, and were disappointed,
for the majority had made up. their minds
to 90 back contented. j do not think they
would do so now. The flower of the South
are either dead or MANNED for life. Every
house is house of mourning. They feel
that they have or will lose all at the close
of the war let it end as 1t may, and they are
determined 10 die game. While many are
sanguine of success, the majority know
that If Johnston cannot hold Dalton, that
Atlanta is only question of time.

These hotels were never anything to brag
of. Now every guest must furnish his own
room, or do without sheets, blankets tow

as often as they are vacated. For breakfast

= FUTURE PROSPECTS,.
The last conscription has taken all white
males from seventeen to fifty. The militia
of Georgia and some other States includes
all between the ages of sixteen and sixty.
The older men is estimated TO number In
Georgia fifteen thousand, all of which have
been called out since the LIST of May. From
this 1t Is readily seen that Johnston's army
Is all there is to whip, unless Sherman gives
them time to raise another from infancy,
for until then the conscriptions must here
after come from the burying-grounds. aa
at SUBSTITUTE MEN.
The last conscription not only held all
substitute men, but all the principals some
of whom had as many as three substitutes,
having been put In from time to time to ap-
pease the law, but this time there was no
dodging. For to appease party in the last
Confederate Congress who wished to make
jeff. Davis dictator, they compromised by
giving him the power to suspend the writ
of hdbeas corpus. Many took leg bail, when
orders were given to shoot all caught in
running through the lines. Two men were
killed a few days before the writer passed
on the same route. One party, who was
over age, was sent in irons to Carolina,
where, by their law, he would fall under
age, and be put into the ranks. Other oaths
were set aside and entered under age, and
sent under guard to the conscript camp.
Others, with pockets full of exemption pa
pers, were taken off from their horses in the
streets and sent to camp.

The OLD AGE OF A PUGILIsT.-A New

saw crowd on the steps of the Astor
House yesterday. They were watching the
attempt of the great pugilist, Tom Hyer, to
ascend into the house. His tall form was bent
by disease; his once firm step tottered; his
great strength had departed. Withcrdtches
slowly and with anguish took one step at
time, as an infant would go up. It was
