The Question Of Gssstsss conc sSRFa.

Houston, on the 4sh oeJuly, the present
year. From them we learn that collecs 4
tion Of excellent textbooks we're adopted.
and recommended for use in the pablo
schools ofthat State. A memorial on the
subject Of education was ordered TO- DO !,
presented to the State Legislature. That
memorial contains, among others, the
follow ing well.stated truths which are as
happily adapted to Georgia IS TO Texas:
+ "The question of greatest concern to
the people Of this great State ct this
time is-How shall the children Of every
citizen be best educatedH The labor
oeustion is one vital to the physical CONF
fort of society, and rightly answered,
may lead to such development Of the
material resources Of the great Common
wealth az will enrich its population fog
ages. Education, ifit may have much
to do with the right solution Of that
question, has mere to do with its, right
direction than all other possible consider

"The development of the South de.
pends upon educated mind. Considered,
therefore, merely in its connection with
convenience, comfort, riches, and pleas.
ure, education occupies the most exalted
p sitie,l, as the key to prosperity and
success. But the safety and integrity OF
society, the preservation and administa.
tion of the constitution and laws, all
depend on cultivated mind. Virtue and
knowledge are the pillars of liberty. In,
their absence, or With their decay, civil
liberty degenerates into despotfsm, and
republican law is substituted by the
tyrans's will. The preservation and
maintenance Of our rights, the peace ana

depend upon the harmonious develop.

The Texans recommend the establish.

might, at it's next session, With, q great

project of building up such schools in
this State. We hope that some public
spirited Senator or Representative will
agitate the question on that occasion. 49,

A MODEST MAN IN "A PREDICAMENT.-
Mr.. Tom Loughrin is poted all over the
city for his mudesty. He stands six feet
two in his stockings, and at least six feet
of him is made up Of modesty. At an.
early hour yesterday morning Mr.. L. was
making his toilet at his residence on
Pratte Avenue and walnut street he was
standing in front of his mirror, with only
one garment on-and that a rather short
one-,and had lathered his face prepara-
tory to moving his beard, when he was
startled by shrill scream from Biddy,
his servant girl, and his wife called to him
that Biddy was Oh tire. Mr.. L., with an
admirable presence of mi"d, seized a
quilt from the bed, aud reaching the bot
tom Of the stairs at two jumps, soon en-
veloped the flaming damSel in the folds
of the quilt aud smothered the flames be-
fore the girl was Sc. louSlv 'rjured.
While Mr.. L. was thus engaged some
zen ladies from adjoining b"u>es, hear
ing the ScreamS Of the girl, rushed in to
zee what was the matter. They arrived
in time to see the tall fmm Of Mr.. L.
beuding over the girl, and instead of re-
treating when they ro,iced his Georgia
costume, they stood lmking at him with
admiring eyes. Tom looked around and
saw the ladies, aud remembering that he
had not finished his toilet, v ent up stairs
a little faster than he had come down,
The ladies Uttered, and at every litter
MI. L. accelerated his speed, and when
he reached his room he was cove. ed with
a profu>e perSpiration. He says it was
the most embarrassing position he was
ever placed in, and hopes never to be
caught in such tx against. Louis

AMI roar ..'
The French master is now very sick
at ST. Cloud, and his wife and "whelp,"
as the Fanbourg St. German calls the
prince imperial, are en- route to Barrett.
The Empress has no element ofa govern
ess, She belongs to the Josephine and
Hortense type Of woman, gay dresserS
and sweet coquettes, but there is not a
drop of the blood Of Catharine de Medi'
els or Marie Therese about her. The
prince imperial is as yet o doll finger,
who nobudy has gauged. The Emperor
himself, worn down by the exceSses Of a
life, alternately imprisoned and absolute,
must be nearly at the end Of his reckon
ing, and even now they whisper" un-
ceasingly that he is drawn to the exit
door. His reign has been to you, who
see it from without, a stately, heartless
one, bad in the beginning, but vindicated
by brilliant achievements. 70 those who
have looked upon it within, it is marked
by worse than the elderly debasement Of
courts. partaking at times of the licen.
tiousneSs of the stews. The affair of
Margot is not yet stale, so that may
tell it to you.
Margot is common lorette, known at
the balls Of the Rue des Victories. She
was beheld of the Emperor in the Bois
de du Buulogne. He dispatched after
her. and discovered her residence. Wis"
it's were frequent of e?enings, no pains
being taken to appoint n more secluded
rendezvous, and with these the Empress,
though well apprise'', made no interfe-
renee, her habit being to give all liberty
to her supreme. One night word came
to the household fnr the Emperor, Rue.
He was found there in state between q
spas'n and paralysis. They brought him
home. Everybody gas alarmed, and Jou-
bert, his physician advised more abste.
miousness. As for Margot. the Empress
sent to her, persuasively asking that she
he allowed to defray her expenses out OF
France, at least out Of Paris. Msrgot
saucily replied that she had as much
right, ETC., and shouldn't be betrayed, or
persuaded OfrourSe it was not etiquette
10 broach the thing to the Emperor, nor
how could he retort upon one whose
magnetism had been so Irresistible.
Therefore Margot, who told the story
freely, grew in great request, and Ameri.
can gentlemen who danced with her q
few weeks ago. state that her heart
melted but day and q week to the lul-
perial charms; that she is still the same
susceptible siren, and able to keep her
voilnre and driver.-PariS Sept. 4, Cor.

ri*lly important. A large Oat crop

Wheat. The same reasons should in"
fuence US TO rai>e large crops of Wheat.
Owing to urp prutracted summer droughts,
corn is always liable to make failure as
in the past season. The earlier varieties
of heat supply US with food early in
June. The crop can be putin now and
there will be no further trouble in plough"
ing or hoeing. At harvesttime it is safer
from negro thieves than most crops as
they are too lazy to steal anything they
would have to thrash. The wheat crop
is one of the most suitable for receiving
the application of commercial manures.
Two hundred pounds of Peruvian guano
on fair land will generally secure twenty
bushels Of wheat and be followed the
next summer with such a coating Of
grass and weeds that when turned under,
the soil is considerably improved. Reese'S
Pacific guano is also used largely in
Maryland upon this crop to which its
analysis shows it specially suitable. 1t
will be well tQ follow Mr.. Hull's practice
and thoroughly prepare and enrich with
domestic or commercial manures few
acres for the wheat crop and sow clover
seed with the wheat and thus get seve-
raj good crops from one seeding. If it
turns out we'll enlarge the crop another
year and then Reaping and Moving
Machine can be purchased which will re-
lieve you somew hat from depending so
much on freedmen. If the seed is at all

Smut can be prevented also by diss0lving
one pound of bluestone in water enough
to cover five bushels Of seed and soaking
a few hours .-
Clover and Grass Seeds This month
and early in the next are the best for
sowing clover and grass seeds. They may
be SoWn alone but it Is usual to sos them

are the. best crops in which to seed.
