THE CHRISTMAS TREE PRESENTATIONS
in some of our village churches on Christ
mas-eve, were occasions of great interest
both to children and parents, so much so
as to bring out large audiences. In making
the presents some little freedom was taken
with some of the older children, and the
odity of the articles provoked some little
merriment. The Village Editor came in
for sack of xxx Ashtabula Mills Flour,
which, while it reminded him of the fact
that the bottom of the barrel at home
had been reached, was, from its tiny pro-
portions, altogether insufficient to meet
the emergency. A sturdy friend who had
complied with about every otherrequire-
ment of a good citizen, but that of increas-
ing the census, was presented with very
apt little illustration Of his deficiency.
Many bookswere pres'nted and some quite
valuable ones. Supt. Cory received a
volume of Smiths Bible Dictionary, and
Pastor TuTnILL, another, together with a
handsome double gown.

The Secessionists Of Texas have, by one ruthless
sweep of legislation resolved that the whole OF the
great school fund Of that State shall be exclusively de-
voted to White children. Such flowers of speech as
that tbs school system Of New-England was mag
nifcent failure" and that education itself was a
questionable blessing, were sbsurdly not wanting to
decorate this wholesale sacrifice. There was propo-
son that colored assessors should be allowed to col
lect freedmen schooltax; but this fell through under
heavy majority. The constitutional amendment,
that ono person shall be Representative or Senator
unless he be White citizen of the United States, and
resident Of Texas for the last five years next preced-
ing his election, was proper corollary to this act.
The sovereign State Of Texas is plainly taking ways
and means to educate itself out Of the Union again; but
VIC deeply question whether it shows even Machia-
yean prudence to legisate against Southern Blacks
and Northern Whites at the same time IL is good
way of not educating the Whites to shut the freedmen
out of school. How Texas makes an oracle OF its
White IRnoramus
