KING WILLIAM continues to postpone the

known to himself. The German people and

He said that it was the first time the question
had ever been raised at any clinique. Just
then some ladies came in and the rib objec-
ton was removed, but hope the seeker after
truth will not forget my little protest against
this as first class petrfaction, and if it shall
appear that have added one ray of light to
this troublesome matter | shall feel that my
friend did not pay his quarter in vain. Sc
riously, this Cardiff Giant in my mind, is one
of the cheapest of put up jobs. 1t is NAL
formation and an absurdity from beginning to
end, and can not be viewed in any light but
swindle upon any and all possible theories.
No man thinks it petrfaction, for it is an
intolerable absurdity. What tell you about
the ribs is only one of many ridiculous things
that might be said. and yet do not remem-
Der that any other writer on giants has touched
upon this point. AS a work of art there is
neither skill nor wit of design, and the only
thing to admire about the whole show is the
sublime impudence of the light-haired ado
descent, who tells you his fathers fed their
flocks on these same hills where the giant
walked in the glory of his manhood. and how
he, blue eyed baby, squirmed about the very
spot where this mighty creature lay so long
buried 1t is touching, this eloquencc, in one
so young, and yet l shall continue to be I'M

tranquility of repose which, as the learned
counsel in Bardell VS.. Pickwick so feelingly
declared, not evena custom house can afford.
l beg pardon, it was my purpose to write
concerning some matters of greater interest,
but the giant beguiled me and must refrain
now from some political talk. As to affairs
generally, they are dull. Wholesale mer-
chants are doing large business because they
have so materially enlarged their field these
last few years, but small dealers are not so
fortunate, and mourn over the dull retail
trade. Yet the streets are rather lively, for
the vast troupes Of itinerant players and sing
ers are equal to that. The season is forward
and glorious, betokening righteousness. A
little way out of town is teeming life-pastor-
al youths following the pillow in contented
mood and caring little about the forthcoming
ward caucuses-while up and down the side
walks of the city and out upon the pretty
mall little sixteenth amendments trunde their
hoops in gleesome way, getting brown in the
soft spring sun, unconscious of that impending
fate which may so soon make them political
blondes. CosMoPoLITE.

siding within the district; and each division
or district is divided by the State superintend-
ent into school districts of convenient size,
to each of which there is to be local super
intendent of national Schools who shall select
the location for the sthool-house and provide
for its erection, protection, repairs, necessary
fuel, &c. School books, such rs are pre-
scribed by the State superintendent, are to be
furnished at cost, except for poor children, who
are to be supplied gratuitously and 1t is pro-
yided that no school books shall be used or
instruction given calculated to favor the pecul-
lar interests of any religious sect AT the
same time it is also provided that all the in
structors of these schools are to use their best
endeavors to inculcatc in the minds of the
pupils the principles of piety, justice, and all
the moral virtues as the true basis of republic
can government.
For the support of this national system of
education a direct tax of $50, 900, 900 is to be
assessed upon the States, the money assessed
and received in each State being expended
therein for educational purposes, as provided
in the act.
The nineteenth and final section of the bill
shows that there is to be no collision between
the contemplated national system and the ex-
isting State school systems, or such as any
State may hereafter establish. Wequote from
tnlS important SECTION as iOltONSs
"Any State may, at its election. in lieu ofthe
tax provided for by this act, provide for all the
children within its borders, between the ages
of six and eighteen years, suitable instruction
in reading, writing, photography. arithmetic,
geography. and the history of the United
States If any State shall, before said last
named day, DULY l, 1871 by a resolve ofits
Legislature. approved by the Governor, en-
gage to make such provision, and shall notify
the President Of the United States thereof all
future proceedings for appointing the officers
provided for herein. or for the assessment or
collection of the aforesaid tax within such
State, shall be suspended for twelve months
from said date. If, at the expiration of said
twelve months, it shall be proved to the salts
faction of the President of the United States
that there is established in said State a sys-
tenn of common schools which provides rea-
sonablv for all the children who dwell there
in, where the population is sufficiently dense
to enable schools to be maintained suitable
instruction in the aforesaid branches, no fur
Their steps shall be taken for the appointment
of officers or the assessment of tax therein"
Thus. the one evident purpose of this edu-
cational measure is to insure the universally
of the common school system in the length
and breadth of the country.
