Convention.

The Nashville Banner, in speaking of
the Educational Convention, takes occa-
sion to recommend the removal of the
question of schools as much as possible
from politics. We are glad to see the
Banner make the happy suggestion at a
time when it is likely to do so much good.
We subjoin the following extract from
that paper:
I'VE commend to the attentive perusal
of all interested on the subject of popular
education, and especially of those preju-
diced against and opposed to it, to the re-
marks OF the various speakers. There is
much suggestiveness, pertinent to the
times, in the sage reflections of the veneer
able DIR. Sears, who maintained with elo-
quent force the necessity of removing the
question of public education from the
whirl of politics. A school system as a
means of party enginery could nave no
more stability than parties themselves,
whereas, it should be enduring as Govern
ment itself. No party could have, nor
ought to have, perpetual existence. When
they outlived their usefulness, or become,
as all parties would necessarily become in
time, corrupt, they would by almost uni
yersal consent become extinct. These are
historical truths, worthy the thoughtful
consideration of politicians.
Herald and tribune. [volume] (Jonesborough, Tenn.) 1869-current, 1870-12-22
EVNnudc.

In that hour which of all the twenty
sour is most emblematic Of heaven, and
suggestive of repose, the eventide, in which
instinctively Jacob went into the heids to
meditate-when the work of the day is
done; when the mind has ceased its ten
sion, when the passions are lulled to rest,
in spite of themselves. by the spell of the
quiet, ~star-lit sky-it is then. amidst the
silence of the lull of all the lower parts of
our nature, that the soul comes forth to do
its work. Then the peculiar, strange work
of the soul, which the intellect cannot do
observation-disclosures. Awe, and worship,
aid wonder, are in full exercise, and
Love begins then in its purest form of
mystic alteration, and pervasiye and unde-
fined tenderness-separate from all that is
| coarse and earthly-swelling as if it would
embrace the All in its desire to bless, and
lose itself in the sea of the Love of God
This is the rest of the soul-tbe exercise
and play of oil the nobler powers.

The committee to memorabilia the As
sembly ask that the present law be so
amended as to create State and County
superintendent. They also ask that a
commission of nine citizens distinguished
for their learning and friendship for the
cause ofeducation," whose duty shall be to
prepare a school system suitable to the
wants of the State and ~ommensura with
the demands of the times.
If the General Assembly will make
such a change in the law, we can make
something out of the present system, but
as long a. it lacks the two essentials of
every school system, State and County Su-
perlntendents, it is sure to give dissatis-
faction and in the end prove a failure
We hope the Assembly will heed the adj
vice of the educators and remodel the law
so as to meet the exigencies of the age
These slight changes will greatly increase
the efficiency of the present school system.
We do not want a law that does not recog-
nize any intelligent head. 1t is unreason-
able to expect anything good of such asys-

OLD DOMINION
Cider and Wine


TNHE Old Dominion is the most popular
l. Mill sold III Virginia. we having sold
nearly four hundred ourselves. 1t is made
with two tubs for pressing. so that the
Mill and Press can both be kept constant

Instead OF the old fashioned graters we
have adopted the crushing rollers. which
all admit to be the best mode of extract
ing the juice from tho apple. This mill
can be run by hand or horse power.
