\ Rhode Island horse fancier who
thought he knew thing or two recently
snapped white horse for a cream color
ed one, paying something ''to boot"
More lately he traded off his cream-color
for beautiful glossy coal black horse,
paying boot" again. Very soon, how
ever, the coalblack horse grew rusty,
and, in spite of all his efforts, has turned
into the identical white horse which he
first traded off!

the charges brought against him, and
after touching up Drake and Hender-
sons official careers, closed by abiding to
his own character and fame, ard asserted
that bis election would have the effect to
greatly increase foreign immigration to
Missouri. Henderson and Drake respond
ed with much bitterness. The result is
in much doubt. Schurz is certainly the
choice of large plurality, but if all the
others should combine they may defeat
him.
Wfs6oNsIN.-The contest IN our own
State promises to be as exciting as in any
Of the others. The leading candidates
are all at Madison and the final struggle
has fairly commenced. Apparently
Washburne has been gaining the last few
weeks, and his friends claim his election
as sure The Carpenter men, however,
by no means concede this We shall
be much surprised if any one receives a
majority on the first ballot. Carpenter
has much positive strength, but we be-
lieYe it has been overestimated by people
generally, as his adhersnts have loudly
claimed his election from the start; others
an tieipate his election from the reputation
of the party as prompt pay to recruits. :"
But the reasons which made such pol.
icy necessary in the days of our weakness
no longer exist, and probably will not
affect the present contest
1t Is possible that the important ques-
ton will be decided in caucus before our
next issue, and in any case we shall doubt
less be able then to speak far more GER
tainly in regard to it, than now.
A writer from Washington to the
Racine Ad0ocate says that Hon, B. T.
Hopkins does not now favor the election
of Matt Carpenter to the Senate, and
explains this change by saying that when
Mr. Hopkins declared in favor of Carpenter
hehad given the subject but little attention
and supposed that that gentleman's cleo.
ton was a foregone conclusion, and had
not calculated on the powerful opposition
which has since been aroused against him.
LEGIsIArURE.-The Legislature meets
at Madison to-day. Probably but little
will be done this week farther than to
perfect the organization, and after that
the business of choosing U. S. Senator
will occupy The most Of the time till it is
finally disposed of. The prospect is that
the session will be short one

\ Scotch pedestrian, attacked by three

courage and obstinacy, but was at length

discover that the entire treasure which

Cooperative Education.

Germany, which in the walks Of general
literature aud philosophical criticism, has
done 30 much for civilization, has now
in successful operation in the Town Of
Reuttingen self supporting cooperative
industrial school, upon system which, it
appears to us, might be adopted with ad
vantage in this country.
The institution was opened in 1884 by
H,rr Werner, the son 5fsthe Finance Min
lister, the object being to show the possi-
bili,y Of using the work of poor and desti-
tute children as q capital for making such
institutions self supporting. The instifu-
lion had many troubles; but in 1910 Herr
Werner was able to buy four COWS and TO
rent some land. 1t was favorite idea of
the founder not only to give his pupils the
opportunity q seeing different occupations
and to choose freely from them, but also to
keep them, from fourteen to eighteen, out
of the way of the temptations oflarge cities.
Outside children were, therefore, admit.
ted; but they were obliged to pass a full
year at probation and to remain four years
as apprentices.
In 1857 Herr Werner founded a. paper
mill and a Credit Institution, in which every
one belonging to the institution could take
Q share. The next year there was fam.
The Charleston daily news. [volume] (Charleston, S.C.) 1865-1873, 1869-08-24

Inc, and large number Of children were
taken into the Institution for Q stipulated
sum paid by tho community. A water mill
was then bought, and farm Of 800 acres,
with SO oxen, 10 horses, cattle and sheep,
was conducted entirely BY two men and
these children. The farm Was very profit
able, while the paper mill, with the help Of
twenty workmen and one hundred girls,
made every day about twenty hundred
weight Of beautiful paper.
The mother house contained the differ
ent bureaux under the csre Of ten persons;
the needlework department with forty girls,
the tailor and show workshops with from
thirty to forty. The Gottes Hu!fs Goods
help) contained the church and school rooms
for four hundred boys, the dining rooms
and the sleeping rooms for the boys and
workmen.
This institution is now both large and
rich. The knitting and crotchet work and
net work Of the girls is sold for from thirty
to sixty thousand forms year. There is
q cotton mill, wool factory, chemical Ia
boratory, q kinder garden, hospital, q
bank, ribbon factory, machine, black
smiths and shoemaker's shops, furniture
factory, q tannery, school Of design and
engraving, large steam works and two thou
sand acres of land. There are 900 ohil
dren from ten to twenty years Of age, and
$50 adults, in % different establishments,
entirely self.supporting. The capital build
ing, although the work was all done by
members of tha Institution, cost 100000
All this is guided by one head. All this is
the work Of one man, backed by the sup
port and confidence Of the whole town in
which he lives.

We ABE informed that convention OF the
County Commissioners was held in Columbia
few weeks ago. The ,bjsct was to consider
the present township law, with its great and
unequal burthens. and to memoria!ize the
Legislature, asking repeal OF ths law. This
is move in the right direction. II the County
Commissioners are in earnest. let them recon.
mend sHst the old system OF assessing and col
lecting taxes be again adopted. In this con'
nection, the Lane 'ster Ledger says: 1.-THE
"salaried oficeA0f County Commissioners are
" conceived to be equally unnecessary and bur.
" "densome to the people. The experience Of the
"past shows that competent. efficient commits
"sloners may bs obtained for all necessary pur-
"poees in connection with the roads and
bridges, buildings. the poor and schools,
without taxing the people to pay such com
" "missoners."
