Our Normal Schools.

1t will be seen by an examination of the
report of the Board of Education and the
correspon dence of the daily papers OF the
State, that quite controversy has arisen
among the friends of education as to whether
it is best to give up the present system of
normal schools and create one central school
or whether it will be better, for the present
to be satisfied with what is reasonably good,
rather than attempt that of which the result
is uncertain.
On the one side, it is claimed that Yer
mont is unable to support three normal
schools, and that one school centrally located
and well supported would produce far better
results than a larger number of schools in
adequately supported. The other side are
willing to admit the force of this argument
to certain extent, but believe that the
proper time for such a consideration has not
yet arrived. They say that the present
schools are prospering, and that while one
first class normal school may be sufficient for
Vermont, three reasonably good schools are
better than one of the same kind.
Could the passage of an act be secured
guaranteeing the support of normal school
equal to the best in the country, we could
find no reason to oppose the suggestion of
the b lard of Education. But it seems clear
that the people Of Vermont have not yet be-
come sufficiently familiar with these schools
to be so perfectly satisfied of their necessity,
as to be willing to make large appropriations
for their support, and no one really expects
the present Legislature to vote much money
for educational purposes. The schools at
Randolph, Castleton and johnson each have
at present about one hundred and fifty pu-
pills. Their influence is slowly permeating
the minds of the friends of education with
the idea that teachers should receive especial
training for their vocation as well as mem
bers of other professions.
1t will not be very long before the State
will be prepared to establish school that
will fear no comparisons. When that time
comes we shall gladly support the proposition
that one normal school is sufficient for Yer
mont. But at present it seems to US unwise
to give up the three schools which are Ger
tainly accomplishing very excellent work in
preparing the way. for something better by
and by.

This is very timely present. The money
value of the donation amounts to between
$4,000 and S5,000-and becomes of greater
significance when coupled with the fact, that
Messrs. Mason & Hamlin have been unable
to answer the cash orders for their instru-
ments for several years past. Much as mu-
sic adds to worship at home, it is of greater
value in the foreign field, in giving interest
to religious services. The instruments thus
generously given, will be placed in semina-
ries and training schools, at the principal
stations not already supplied. They will do
much not only to encourage the hearts and
to increase the influence Of the missionaries
but to promote the - service of song in
many lands and languages. Missionary

New YORK POLITICS. of the
way politics is managed in New York may
be learned from the following from the Ma
tion:
The state of politics in this city is this ::
Last spring when the New York charter was
passed, the Republican members of the leg
islature were induced to support it, under
an arrangement by which Republicans were
80 have proper share of the principal off,
ces. The arrangement was carried out, and
it created body of persons known as Tam
many Republicans" who are powerfully.
and as it proves overwhelmingly, represented
by the Republican Committee, which is
charged, in New York, with the care of the
rights of man and other interests of that
nature. The '' Young Democrats" or the
new Democratic opposition to the Tammany
Ring, have now had the grace to nominate
Mr.. Ledwlth, and invite the Republicans to
help them elect him, as the first and best
means of overthrowing the rule of the Ring.
A portion of the Republicans are ready to
do so, and d meeting of the committee was

CONDENSED WIsDoM.-The following par
agraph is in the last installment of Mrs.
Stoves serial, "Pink and White Tyranny, -
in Old and Neto:
There comes time after marriage when
husband, if he be any thing of a man, has
something else to do than to make direct
love to his wife. He cannot be on duty at
all times to fan her and shawl her, and ad-
mire her. His love must express itself
through other channels. He must be full
man for her sake, and, as a man, must &c
forth to whole world of interests that take
him from her. Now what in this case shall
woman do whose only life lies in petting
and alteration and display?
We can't think of but one other :" sphere -
left for her by the men of this generation,
and that is the " clinging vine.'

The WafchHan supports its declaration,
made last week, that Mr.. Tilton and Mrs.
Stanton were in favor of the - abolition o.
marriage by quoting paragraph from a
newspaper editorial, and line from some
reporters account of speech of Mrs. STAN
ton in favor of greater facility of divorce.
Courts would say that such evidence, if good
for anything, doesn't support the declaration

SOUTH CARoLINA.-The election in South
Carolina, which occurred last week, is re-
ported to have resulted in the election oil

Democrats have gained four members of
Congress in Pennsylvania and one in Indiana.
The majorities both of Republicans and Dem

one Republican in Indiana has but four
