of Brown University, and Superinten-
dent Of Public Instruction in Massaehu-

thinly attended, in consequence of the

He talked straight out hard sense,
without q waste, injudicious or su.
nerAuous word. His argument de-
monstrated beyond controversy the
superiority Of public over private
schools, and the interest and duty
of all to sustain them, whether rich or
poor. Having never looked particularly
into this matter before, we confess to
the fact of being q convert to his view,
so far as that is concerned. And we
regret that the mastery argument was
not heard more generally By all our
citizens, alike interested in the instruc-
ton of youth. Without all reference
TO individual interests or preferences
il costs more to any community TO dc
without public schools than it does to
support them. And no expense should
be spared 40 make them Efficient, agreea-
BILE aud respectable enough to be at
tractive TO the rich aud poor alike. For
the masses, the issue is street education
against school education. And one costs
millions, with crime into the bargain,
while the ether is the most economical
as we'll as the most thoroughly certain
plan Of successful instruction.

Valuable Papers Found in am Old

From the jackson (Tenn) Wing. March q.
On last Sunday evening, as little Johnny
Trice, a son Of +. j. Trice, Esq, of this
city, was playing in a lot in the rear of his.
fathers residence, and but short distance
from the Mobile aud Ohio railroad depot,
be discovered piece Of paper projecting
from the top of an old decayed stump. 1t
happened that a revenue stamp was affixed
to that portion Of paper exposed, which
attracted the attention of the little fellow,
who is not more than eight years old, and
caused him 10 ego for il" as he imagined
il was piece of fractional currency. Pull
ing the paper from its partially imbedded
position, he discovered that there were
others buried deeper down in the loose
trash, with which the stump was filled.
Gathering mp all the papers he had found,
he carried them home and showed them TO
his father, TO whom he told the story Of
their discovery. Mr.. Trice saw at glance
the great value of the papers and i'm
mediately repaired to the spot where
they were found, and instituted more
thorough search, which resulted in bring
ing 10 light two more papers, one Of them
a note for a large amount.
Through the kindness Of Mr.. Triee, and

Company In this city, in whose hands the
papers have been placed for safe keeping,

Also several mortgages on property in
