A Western paper tells a good story NJ
high-bOrn, chivalrous Kentucky lady comm,
to sudden grief at the public discovery of a
blood relation. The establishment of free
speech in the South often exposes the high
born defenders of the caste ofcolor to damag-
Ing retorts when they put on airs, an anus
ins instance of which is reported to have oc-
CURED recently at Louisville in fashionable
oireie' 1t seems that well-dressed apparent-
white lady visited Louisville, accompanied
oy pretty child, and put up at one of the
iiis'ciass hotels. She was treated with due
courtesy by the landlord and servants. until.
a' u'ilher, another lady suddenly rose from
'no 'apie ana pointed her out as a 'nieeer,"
whereupon she was at once turned out of the
doors by the shocked and astonished landlord
who had been before the disclosure all obse-
quiousness To think that "nigger," because
she was as white, and fashionable. and ladv-
Ike as genuine Kentucky belle, should pass
herself OIL as white woman 1t was fearful
in the Kentucky view of the case. Being
gone with her child, the table was purged, and
kentucky chivalry breathed freely once more;
when, 10 !! a horid Northern Radical lady who
happened to know all about the other two.
rose and informed the guests that the ''niegerv
who was turned out, and the genuine white
lady who had procured her expulsion, were
sisters-one the daughter of Keptuckv
"high-toned" father by his slave, and the 9TH
er his daughter by his wife; and she, being a
Northern woman, accustomed to proper he
havior in public houses, objected to the con-
duct of a hotel where pretended lady was al
lowed to turn her sister out of doors before
all the guests, and create an mlady-like row
at the dinner table! ...'.....
IL was OF no use for Kentucky chivalry to
frown-the speaker was lady, and pistol,
and bowie-knives were not to be thought Of
1t was useless for the Kentucky belle to look
shocked, as well as decidedly frightened under
this terrible public disclosure of the chivalric
family skeleton, for the speaker was person

Ihere Is bill before the New York Lepis-
latllre, IL 1t has not passed, which proposes to
authorize very useful undertaking. II is
bill to incorporate a 'Householder's Mutual
Savings Bank" The institution SO depomi-
mated is to be compelled to receive deposits
from any person and to pay interest thereon
like ordinary savings banks. certain per
centage of the deposits may, at the discretion
of the trustees, be employed in purchasing
mainder must be permanently invested on
bond and mortgage, or in State and United
States stocks. In business hours, plans of
such houses as the bank agrees to build, ale
to be exposed in book open to inspection.
If any deposition wants house, he has SIM
ply toselect his plan, enter written applica-
ton, and make special deposit of Is per cent
of the contract price. He thereupon goes in
to possession Ofthe house at reasonable rent
Fer annum. Each payment of rent is added
to the previous Is per cent. special deposit,
with interest at the usual rate and balance
struck annually between these credits of the
CepositOr and the taxes, repairs, &c, which
the bank has had to expend upon the house.
The rent is always the same, with compound
interest in the depositor's favor. In few
years he will have been credited with the en-
tire price ofthe house, and will receive deed
of the property; or when the amount of his
credit is halfthe price, he can take deed aad
mortgage the remainder.
An indirect benefit is conferred by the DOW
erful encouragement to thrift held out by this
scheme. Its direct advantage is, that the Or
binary profits of house rent, after slight de-
duction for expenses, are restored to the ten
ant
The experiment is not altogether new. In
stitutions somewhat similar have been quite
successful in Germany, and in this country
workingmen's "Unions" have been formed for
the same purpose. Stockholding companies
have made the attemptin New York, but with
limited success. There are to be no stockhOld-
ers in this case. The bank will be managed
by trustees, who have no pecuniary advantage
over any depositor. The trustees are to be
held strictly accountable for the faithful per-
formance of their duties, and their officers are
required to give bonds.
The bill has been drawn with great care, and
is heartily commended by all who have ex-
amined the subject. Some of the best names
in New York are to be found In the list of
corporators.

The Department Of Education.


The act establishing at Washington De-
partment of Education, passed the Senate on
the last day of February, as it came from the
House eight months before. The new depart,
ment or bureau as it should more properly be
called, is established for the purpose "of COL
lecting such statistics and facts as shall show
the condition and progress of education in the
several States and Territories, and of diffusine
such information respecting the organization
and management of schools and school sys-
TENS, and methods of teaching, as shall aid
the people of the United States in the estab-
lishment and maintenance of efficient school
systems" The former branch of this enquiry
is of very great Importance. 1t has hitherto
been almost impossible to find out precisely
what educational experiments are in progress
in the different States OF what results have
been reached. Obviously it is very desirable
that such information should be easily access
ible to all who are concerned in the work of
public instruction. A sufficient illustration of
the general lack of adequate knowledge of
foreign school systems and methods of in
struction, may be found in the remark of Mr..
Randall cfPennsylvania, who said, discussing
this very measure, that he s"would not give
the school system of Connecticut for all the
systems of the rest of the world" 81 consid-
er," he continued, shat in that particular,
Connecticut has reached the highest point of
ALL" This Chinese contempt for "outside bar
barians" will be cured by the operation of the
new department. 1t was in the same spirit
that somebody proposed to send aschool lhouse.
with patent desks and seats, to the Paris Ex-
hibition-as if school-rooms and improved
desks were unknown to the benighted nations
of Europe.
To provide for the diffusion of this useful
information, the act directs the appointment
in the usual way of Commissioner of Edu-
cation, who is to be allowed three clerks
The Commissioner is to report annually, and
in his first report is to present statement of
the several grants of land made by Congress-
to promote education and of the manner in
which the several trusts have been managed.
We are glad to see that the President has
nominated Mr. Henry Barnard for this nos;.
ton. Mr.. Barnard's work in life has been an
admirable preparation for the official duties
to which he is now called. The school sys-
TEN OF Connecticut, though not perhaps the
best in the world, is deserving of high praise
and owes much of it's excellence to Mr.. Barn
ards early labors. In Wisconsin, he has been
less successful. In Maryland, where he>has
lately been engaged, he is said to be eSertinS
powerful influence in the right direction
His journal of Education has been an in
structive and useful work. His private libra
nv contains probably the best collection of ed
ucat;onal documents in the country. Mr..
BARNARD will find in the work laid out for
him by Congress an opportunity to render
still more conspicuous service to the cause
with which hehas been 50 long identified
