THE body of: Abraham Lincoln was
removed few days ago, at Springfield,
ILL.,, from the temporary vault built by
the Monument Association, to the crypt
in tho vault under the Lincoln monu-
meat provided for its reception. The
condition of the body showed that the

easily recognized, but the skin was very
much discolored.

TALE OFlA HAEDKERCHIBF.

There is one touching incident in
the life of William Writ. II his
younger days he was victim to the
passion for intoxicating drinks which
seems particularly the bane of the
profession. Afiianeed to a beautiful
and accomplished young woman, he
had made and broken repeated pledg-
es of amendment, and she, after
patiently and kindly enduring his
disgraceful habit, had at length dis
missed him, 6eeming him ineOrrigi-
BILE. Their next meeting, after his
dismissal, was in public street in the
city of Richmond. William Writ lay
drunk and asleep, on the sidewalk on
q hot summer day, the rays of the sun
pouring down on his uncovered head
and the flies crawling over his swoll-
en- features.1 -l-.r 81
As the LADY approached in her
walk, her attention was attracted by
the spectacle. strange to her eyes, but
alas so common to others who knew
the victim, as to attract little remark.
She did not at first recognize the
sleeper, and was about to hasten on.
when she was led by one of those i'm
pulses which forms the turning
points in human life, to scrutinize his
features. What was her emotion
when she recognized in him her dis
carded lover. She drew forth her
handkerchief and carefully spread il
over his face. and hurried away
When Writ came TO himself he found
the handkerchief, and in one corner
the initials Of the beloved name.
With a heart almost breaking with
grief and remorse, he made 3 new
vow Of reformation. he Kept that
vow and married the owner of thai
handkerchief.

Education In Ohio.

The Seventeenth Annual Report Of
the Commissioner of Common Schools
of Ohio is just from the press and
ready for distribution throughout the
State. II Is a pamphlet, or took
rather, of 2SS pages, and most com
pletea in the statistical details Of the
grand school system of Ohio. We
have at intervals during the prepara-
ton of the work gathered and pub
lished its substantial points. but we
will here briefly advert to it again :
The aggregate school funds for lS69-70,
including 8 balance on hand Septem-
Der lst, 1869, Of 81, 1897, ,732. 20, was So
364. T65.70; for the same preceding
period or ls6S-69, including about a
proportional balance on hand, the re-
ceipts were IS, BIS, $50. IS 4; showing an
increase in one year Of 81, ,04S, ,SSg.O o.
On the other hand, the grand total of
expenditures for the year lS69-70 was
81 ,15O, ,566.OS; for the preceding year,
or 1S6S-69, $3.50, ,792 SO; increase OF
expenditures in single year, S6l9, :
T73. %; leaving a balance in the treas
ury September 1st, 1870, Of S2r2l4,-
1882. & -I
The report contains an interesting
table concerning the school statistics
of the United States, compiled from
the most recent information. From
this we CLEAN that New York, with a
population of over one anda hall mill
lions greater than. Ohio, has school
children fbetween five and twenty
one years. 10 the number Or l ,463, 299,
while Ohio has ], ,02S, $50 children aged
between the same years. Pennsylva-
mia, with q population Of almost a
million in excess of Ohio has only
975, T5S school children between the
ages of six and twenty-One. The
number Of school districts or schools
in Ohio is II, IA; in New York, II, $50;
in Pennsylvania, 1871. The num-
Der of male teachers In Ohio is 9,17l /;
female, II, ,455; male teachers in Penn

Mr.. Henkle, the Commissioner says
in his valuable report that the eduea-
tional activity in the State for the year
ending August 81, 1870, was fully
equal to, if not greater than the pre-
vious year. In many parts OF the
State the zeal Of the people is quite
marked. No city or village, he obs
serves, that aims at an increase in its
population and wealth can afford TO
neglect its schools. A consciousness
of this fact has resulted in the erection
of a great number Of imposing school
buildings, whose cost has greatly in
creased the local taxation. But IS q
man is willing to give his purse to
save his life, so villages and cities are
willing to be heavily taxed to preserve
and increase their commercial life.-

the mystery. A day .nt. two since,
