American Education.

The country has, in fact, been under
gross deluson on the extent of our popu-
lar education. We have Judged of it from
a few New England examples, and from
the general interest for it shown by some
of the Northern States through which the
New England population has largely
migrated. AS a nation, we have no ade-
quate provision for it; and it is a startling
fact, as we have shown, that, according to
the official language of the Washington
Bureau, ga case on trial before a jury
stands chance of having in the different
States from one to eight, and on the aver
age from one to five, jurors who cannot
read and write. According to the Circular
of the Bureau for the last year, at the last
general election the non reading and writing
voters outnumbered the preronderence of
the majority in seventeen States" clad
less than one fifth of the illiterate voters
combined, they could have determined the
election This is an unexpected state of
things; it is alarming; it should not be toll
Grated one year longer if we belieue educa-
tion an essential condition of republican
government. The National Bureau has
not come into existence one hour too soon
The fact that we have at last such a
Bureau is all indication that the national
mind is becoming conscious of the need of
a national reform in regard to primary edu-
cation at least.
This growing conviction reaches farther;
it touches our whole system Of education
There is an increasing belief that our higher
as well as our lower education is essen
TALLY ill-founded. Our collegiate system
is a jumble of experimental follies involv-
ing an immense waste of money, of devoted
men las educators,) and of inadequately
trained minds. 1t is, summarily, a huge
scheme of sectarian competitions, compar-
atively unproductive, and tending to a
deterioration of all the higher aims of
collegiate or university training, and of
the professional competence and char
acter of the country, And hence, accord

Not Complimentary.

Apropos of the recent elections, the fol-
lowing is capital, and will be especially
rclished by gentlemen who have been
unsuccessful in their aspirations for office:
In one of the towns of Pennsylvania the
freemen had for many years deposited their
Such thing as a Wing or Republican was
unknown, and prior to the Grant and Sey-
mour carpaign no local Republican ticket
had ever been run. At that time, however,
the politicians of an adjacent township
thought it an opportune occasion to attempt
the establishment, in that town, of a
Republican organization. TO this end
they persuaded certain Dir. Green, who
had recently settled there, to become their
candidate for some minor office, hoping to
procure for him a few votes under the pop
ularity of the great name of Grant, and
thus to get an entering wedge in the local
affairs of the township.
The day of the election arrived, but Mr..
Green was unable to get to the polls by
reason of sickness. In due time the returns
were published, and Mr.. Green had just one
pote. Chagrined at this, and annoyed by
the accusation that he had voted for him
self, he announced that if the person who
had voted for him would come forward and
make affidavit to the fact he would reward
him with a good suit of clothes. A few
mornings afterward a burly, stupid-looking
Pennsylvania Dutchman called upon Mr.
Green, and abruptly remarked: 81 wants
dat suit Of cloes.'
"Ah." said Mr.. Green, "then you are
the man who voted for me?"
Yah, I'm de man.
care you willing to make an affidavit of
it,"
Yah, | swear to EN-
Mr.. Green, accompanied by the intell-
gent voter, went to the office of the justice
of the peach and the required affidavit was
made; after which the clothes were pur-
cahsed and given to the deponcnt.
SO delighted was Mr.. Green to be re-
lcyed from the unpleasantness of his situa-
ton, and SO glad to learn that there was

another righteous man in the township,
that he had taken the Dutchman' Repub-
licanism rs matter of course. However,
at parting he said: "Now, my friend you
have your suit of clothes, just answer me
one qnestion-IIow came you to vote for
