EDUCATION OF AMERICAN YOUTH.

70 the Edlt0r or The Trt6uHc.
SIR: Any one cOnversant with the public
and private schools OF NewYor during the last twenty
years must have remarked their steady progress in
ly everything good. am amazed therefore that Amer
parents should send their and daughters abroad
TO be educated except In where young men take
complete at of the great British universities
To send boys girls to schools the Continent for
two or three years is grave MISTAKE. Nothing can take
tue place OF good home influences combined with the in
struction proGercd Ivy such schools abound In New
York, Boston, and other American cities.
The greatest objection to American schools -
especially those for girls is that they are
too fashionable Yet, thoro schools where
the chief object IL the attainment OF knowl-
edge and where the influences healthy and refining
There schools whero boys and grs, having finished
their prescribed course, know something which viii be
of usc to them: where sound cducaOn-lncudiDg, IN
the Of boys some knowledge Of industrial arts
AID rural economy, and in that of girls, household
duesis given by competent teachers. No better pre-
pardtOry training he had than that at public
schools After passing the highest grades Of these the
pupil is ready for tho academy or college.
would advise young to enter college at 16 IT,
graduate when thoroughly quaii1ed, commence the

will be fitted TO commence real life work. specially
caution American youth OF both sexes not TO hurry
through academy college into active professional or
business life prematuTciy for this haste Is the chief
cause OF the ruined health imperfect education, aud con-

1t is generally thought among us, that you are tie
most honest Radical IN tho North, and when any wrong

those negroes who raised their weapons rt against the
white men, and even then were killed and but one

the negroes were instructed to assemble on that day

left their guns Oh deposit in house only few yards
from the public square, it is surprising that moro damage

was in our office the other day during one
of these attacks. Major Brown. of Mex
leo, was present and proposed TO relieve
him in five minutes, which he did most
effectully. The followingis the prescrip-
ton: Take a desert spoon fun Of common
soda. such as is used in making bread.
and Dissolve it thoroughly in quart of cold
water: with this shampooni the head for
about five rninotes, scratching the skin OF
the head aud back of the neck well with
the finger nails; then rinse the head with
clean cold water. Major Brown says he
has used this remedy in perhaps thor

remedy is for. nervous headache, and is

A Costly Brick.

was to receive from them large amount
ofeOnnterfeit greenbacflss so perfect in
imitation that they could not be detected
from the genuine, even with the aid of a
microscope. In due time a package was
received at the Express Office for John,
with s94.50 charges. With great exer-
tionhe obtained the eiiisite sum and in
breathless expectancy, at the dead of
night. a lnoc king was heard at the door of
the Express office--in stepped John ac-
companied bys.a friend,' TO witness his
sudden transition from the vale OF poverty
to the 1l;ip of luxury and ease. Painting
like lizzard he paid the s9f.5O, obtained
the precarious treasure, and histened TO
a scene of quiet where he opened the
packrge; but instead of the countless
thousands of ..the queer" a rusty brick
presented itself to hi; ;astonishingivis
Accompany ing the aforesaid brick was an
epistolary document Informing JolIu that
the lice" were on the track OF all par
ties interested. and this (the bricll) Was
sent as a ..blind, y but that the ''queer"
would soon be Forthcoming, and on no
