A HUMAN PRoDIGY.-The newspapers OF
late, have been busy chronicling accounts OF a
most remarkable prodigy in human nature. 1t
is that of a colored man, who is able to wind ind
up and then unwind his intest!nes; TO snllt
his heart from it's natural position into the
stomach on the right side, then on the left,
natural resting place, and also to perform other
internal contortions which are astonishing and
seemingly impossible. The Wilmington Com
r,erclaI of Saturday says: This morning, Ueo.
Thomas. for this is his name, called into our
office, % and we saw him perform and traced with
our own hands, the truly remarkable external
changes above alluded to. OF course we were %!s
amazed, bewildered, at this spectacle which
Psychologists have failed to account for, or ply

GENERAL BLAIR ON THE STU CATIoN. N.-Gene- !,
rol II p Blair. who is at Montgomery, Ala, /
as one of the subcommittee in Ku-klux, made
remarkable speech in that city on Thursday
night He urged the South to take active part
in the next Democratic national Convention TO
nominate candidate for President Ii they
abstained from sending delegates to the con
vention it would be claimed that their refusal
was on account of the new departure OF the
northern Democrats and OF their own rebelllouS
nroclivities. He avowed himself no friend OF
the new departure, but believed in the patrlo-
tism of its supporters, and was willing to hight
the Radicals in any shape the Democratic party
might determine. He thought that the new
policy had been disastrous, and had deprived
them of success, because 1t was confession OF
their inability to carry the election on their own
principles. Still, he did not feel despondent'
General Grant, said the speaker, is now dc
tator in the Republican party and ssplres to
be such in the country at large. believe ne
will dictate his own nomination, but, then, L
know that some of the most conspicuous, able
and courageous men who stand highest In the
Radical party will leave the Republican party
when Grant is nominated. General Blair
went on to say that, instead OF gong lor ne"
departure he would prefer to go for a man who
re presents the new departure Rather than &C
back on his principles, he would choose a lie
; publican and go for a man who would be n0ml
mated by the disaffected Republicans, or wha
would be BETTER one who night be nominated
by the Democrats in their own Convention
They could all vote for a Republican who wa
in favor of universal amnesty aud oppose, t
e the Ku- Klux bills and military laws. Th
e e most ancient Bourbon in Alabama could vot
h for such Republican in preference to Grant
II He pointed to the example OF Virginia, whlc
had adopted the policy advocated, and asked
= q shall the Democracy of the South hesitat
to follow the counsel Of the Old Dominion
:. In Missouri they had followed her eXampi
i and trent their bonds His colleague, III tt
L. Senate, Carl Schurz, led the entire Germ;
at element there to remove distranchSement.
I'd his Judgment, if the Democratic party, inste'
of adopting any new departure shall put to
a ward man, or accept one put forward!
at others, who is sound on the prnti lie OF unlVe
sal amnesty and opposition to the militia
as laws, he will receive the entire German vote
or the United States, numbering from five hu
dred thousand to eight hundred thousand.

tic Legislatures have refused to amend this
horrible system, and the Legislature of last
winter, at the dictum of Senator Bayard, an
nulled the charter of what is known as the
Estate Normal Institute" in Wilmington,
because its Principal, Prof Harkness, made
assertions not as CALLING by half as these asser-
tions from the Journal, the Democratic organ
of Sussex.
When a motion was made in the U. D
Senate, last winter, to print 2O,OOO copies OF
the Report of the Commissioner OF Educatlon'
Senator Bayard "moved to strike out as untrue
and Ibelous, the statement rejecting upon the
school system of Delaware" Here are the
statements, relative to Delaware. made by
Commissioner Eaton in his report:
"There is no State supervision, no provision
| for training teachers, p9 school law adequate
| for keeping schools open; municipalities may
tax themselves for school purposes, or not' a.
they see fit. Wilmington afording the mos mos
favorable results, the schools in the Stat'
generally are of an inferior class, and so far
organized under the school law OF the State pro
vide only for the education Of the whites.

ity of the School Laws and statements OF Froi
Hardness, who was applied to by the CommlS
sioner, after he had failed to get the desire

Wright, who "could give no information

Senator say of the extract above, written by
carpet-bag Democrat (recently converted

The Episcopal Convention at Baltimore re-
ceved the Report OF the Committee OF hive
Bishops, which, among other things OF some
what more importance, recommended that the
official dress of the clergy should be regulated
by due legislation Where there is a surpliced
choir, the surplice shall in no case reach
below the ankles "a provision full OF thrilling
interest The Bishops are to content them
selves with their present robes; and well they
may, for nothing handsomer could be devised,
AS for the ministers, they must wear "a white
surplice, black or white stole, black gown
and bands, and black cassock not reaching
below the ankles" Lay readers may wear the
black academical gown. Clerical gentlemen OF
this city and of the school of St. Albans, who
have invested their money in gorgeous and
yariegated altar raiment, will have to send II
down to Chatham st. or pack it away until
better times Moreover, the Bishops would
prohibit incense, cruciGxes, candles (excep

been saved if they had been properly arranged

Our SCHOOL SYSTEM The Sussex Journal,
published at Georgetown, thus speaks of the
public schools:
There are men in this county who are worth
thousands of dollars, have children who learn
all they know at public schools, who refuse to
buy necessary books for them, and always vote
against tax. We are ashamed to record it, but
it is fact, and hundreds OF names Can be
given Of such penurious, dwarfed human beings
In this town, the capital Of the county, the
seat of whatever learning we may have, there
is one old, ugly, uncomfortable school house
(built by lottery money!. Two teachers en-
ployed at $25 per month, Tor from 6 to
months in the year, to teach 50 or 80 children.
There are few if any classes In these schools,
because the teachers cannot get books to ar
range these classes. Twenty-Five halt grown
boys run about the streets idle, every day, who
cannot read half dozen lines correctly, o.
write a decent note. The people take M
interest in education. The youth of our tow
are allowed to grow up in Ignorance, loaini
about stables and hotels. These are unpleas
ant truths, and we dislike to put them in print
but how else can we excite public attention t
this vital subject2 There are no cducations

attend academies and colleges. Individual
who have money, and desire to educate thel
