Education,

suppose you think if babies were
let alone they would walk and talk
sometime without learning but that
is . mistake. They never would
There was once a mother and baby
that were caught in the woods some
where in India by hungry wolf, who
ate up the mother, but let the child
nurse with her little ones. So he
grew up in the forest with the young
wolves, and ran like them on four
legs, and learned to bark like them,
and to kill and eat animals without
cooking. And when the boy was per-
haps ten years old he was caught and
tanned. but the kind people who took
care of him tried to teach him to be a
man and not beast, found him very
hard to learn. He had lost the first
ten years in which other children learn
more than they are apt to think.

Rather Hard on the Doctor.

At the recent election merchant
presented himself at the polls, accom-
panied by a well known physician,
when, with view to avoid taking his
turn in The long row of voters, the ply
stefan interceded for his friend, and re-
quested that the crowd would give
him the head of the line. on the ground
of being under medical treatment.
The merchant looked. as he was, in
the prime Of health, when Fred Wal
ter penetrating the dodge, spoke out !:
81 say, doctor, is that man under
your treatment"
Yes, sir" said the doctor with ex-
quisite politcness, he is now under
my treatment. assure you, and !
have been his family physician for the

years"

another chance he's outlived DIR

doctor didn't.

The reduction of The government
expenses and the opening to trade all
that portion Of the South now under
Federal control will exercise a power
ful influence upon the finances and the
future prosperity Of the country. The
accounts from all parts Of The interior
in regard to the growing crops are
very favorable, and the reduction OF
the army will send home large mum
Der of consumers to become produc
ers. The South has cotton, tobacco
and money to pay for our manufac.
lures, and there will, no doubt, be an
active business done with that sec

And yet--oh. keenest sorrow
They're coming, but not all;

Americans have been too often reproachsd
with hyperbole, and their talk about whipping
tho world has been too often ridiouled by for
eign philosophers ignorant Of our real powers.
But the present war has shown that what seemed

arc rather under than above the factA Here u

made miracles practical and achieved the Inn
possible. Our history reads like . romance,
but It b plain history after oil. Ten years ago
the man who predicted that we could raise an
army Of million Of men would have been I'm
prisoned as q lunatic but there ID tho army.
Ten years ago no one dreamed Of iron-clsd bat
teries; but there Is Heet Of them. Ten years ago
the idea Of thousand pound cannon ball would
have been scofNed at but we have used such
balls In this war. Everything that our foreign
critics have asserted to DO beyond human
power to accomplish we have performed. They
said that we could not raise one grand army,
and we have raised dozen. They said that
we could not retake q single fort, and We have
reduced them oil. They said that Sherman
could never cross the mountains or reach the
coast, and he is in Savannah. They said that
they are oil sealed up. They said that we
could not sustain national debt, and we do
sustain IT, They said that we could not con-
tinue the war, and we have continued it. They
said that we could not survive the loss Of our
commerce, and we have survived it. They
said that cotton was king, and we have de-
throned it They said that we could not con-
quer the South, and it is practically conquered
to-day. Upon every prophecy, great or small,
they have been beaten. And yet our power
has not been half developed at the North. The
country is giant, but it is young giant,
capable of greater feats in tho future We
have within our borders everything necessary
10 make us successful in war and comfortable
in peace. We are completely independent Of
the rest of earth. No other government
ever instituted has shown itself so powerful as
this republic. Look at the facts and the
figures; regard the present, not the old fogy
past; recognize what is accomplished, and then
say what will be the future Of o nation so
glorious in its earliest infancy. We assert,
without fear of reasonable contradiction, that
no one can set bounds to the greatness Of the
United States; and that, in the event Of
foreign war, we shall not only defeat the Euro
pean Power with which we are engaged, but
we shall actually dictate peace in the capital
| of the enemy and annex its territory to this
government, If it be worth annexing.

Here, then, was his opportunity. He might at

be 10 isolate the part Of Grants army on tho

Could not Lees troops once moro be estab-

Deep Bottom, and, cooperating with The rebel
iron-clads, seriously cmbarrass the rc-cstablish-
ment Of Grants base at City Point; and might
this not even compel him 10 open another line.
All this was possible; and this was the pro-
grammc. For while the iron-clads came down,
