TALL STEALING.-Talk of the three or four
millions stolen by the Tammany ring in New
York. Here is small specimen of how the
petbaggers, with the help of Grants
bayonets have robbed the south.
The debt of Arkansas, in Jan. 1866, was
$3.252,4Ol. Five years Of carpet-bagger rad
ical rule have swelled the debt to $l9,530, 900.
North Carolina, in Jan. 1866, owed Ss,7Gl,-
245. Six years of radical bayonet rule has
raised her debt to $35,OoO,OOO.
South Carolina, with a debt of $4,000, 900
at the end of the rebellion, is now blessed with
a debt of s32 ,OO0, 900
And so on, through the whole list of south
crn states And these states have not mile
of railroad, not q foot of canal, no public
buildings-no anything to account for a dol
lar of all this expenditure The money was
literally stolen, every dollar of it. And Grant
has organized hell in those southern states
under the ku.klux bill because the people
grumble at these robberies and refuse to pay
the enormous taxes levied to be still further
stolen

MINISTER SCHENCK, who went to England
with so much ectat few months ago, has got
into trouble. He appears in an advertise

famous Emma Mining Company of Utah, and
the chief endorser, If not pedder of Its stock !
Now for first class envoy at the court of St.
James to be engaged, at the same time he is
supposed to be looking after the interests of
the nation he represents in turning penny
by the questionable practices of stock jobber,
is decidedly not CONNIE il Jaut So even
Grant, by the side of whose gold operations
on the famous "black Friday" Schenck's little
mining speculation is the veriest trihe, dicldes
that Schenck must he recalled. All which Is
bad for Schenck Had he stuck to "draw
poker" for which his reputation in Wash
ington stood number one, he might have
fleeced the millionaires of England without
stint and been none the worse for reputa-
ton; but to engage in stock gambling-bah
Even Grant can't stand that.

here which varies from three quarters of q
mile to 500 feet in width and extends up the
river about six miles: and is from ten to six
teen feet deep, thus affording an inexhausti-
Die reservoir.
The dam across the Fox river is 400 feet
long. and 151 feet high.
These dams are about 8 of a mile above
the confluence of the two rivers, and natural
depresslons occur-one leading from point
above the Illinois river dam to the pond made
BY the Fox river DAM Through this, race
has been dug. From the north end of the III.
inois river dam similar depression occurs,
running nearly mile to and leaving the river
at considerable distance before finally enter
ing it at point little above Fox river. In
this another channel has been cut. Between
these channels, and crossing them, there are
several smaller ones occurring at regular in.
tervals, thus affording the finest natural tail
races and places for using water power that
could be devised.
The dams are made of cribs, the interval
filed with gravel. For two months daily
about thirty teams were employed hauling
gravel for the Illinois river dam alone. Mr..
VIM. Norris who had charge of this department,
asssres us that in his thirty odd years in max
ing railroad embankmen3s, he never saw
such mountain of sand and gravel removed.
Messrs. Colwell, Clark & Co., built both
dams under contract from the Water Power
Co.. and it is needless to add that the work
was we'll and faithfully done.

THE STECK PIANo.--We feared that the fatal

Roor & CADY, by the Chicago fire, would inter.
fere for a while ut least, with the western ssfe

for the Northwest. We observe, however, that

and fastidious connoisseurs; and we make bold
to say on the strength of this that, all things
considered--purity and sweetness of tone, price,
finish, and the various technical qualities which
are most esteemed--the Steck Piano is every.
thing that its makers claim, and that those who
buy it are certain of getting thoroughly good
instrument at n moderate rate.

sale OF the Steck Piano, and has one at her rooms
that any one desiring to purchase is OF liberty

There is something wrong at West Point.
Whether the present chief officer of the military
academy is deficient in executive ability, or
whether his administration is troubled by unu-
sual outbreaks of disorder, we are unable TO say.
1t is certain that court martials' and disorders
have, cf late, drawn much more attention
to that institution, than it usual receives. Just
now, they have "Cadet Smith" before another
court martial, the troable, in this case, growing
out of the annoying treatment be has received
from some OF his fellow students. 1t is mani
fest that some of the students have been acting
in concert to drive him out of the institution;
and it was supposed that they would now sue
coed; but their testimony before the court mar
tial does not amount to so much as was ex-
pccted, and it is otherwise suspicious.
Cadet Smith is what is called an "octoroon."
he is one of the most intelligent and capable
students in the school. 1t is said that he has
not always been meek under insulting treat
ment In fact he has sometimes fought his
battle reseutfully." Before the court martial,
we are told, he appears remarkably well, aud
manages bis case with ability. He is entirely
self.possesscd, bright and cheerful as
cricket" and cross-examines witnesses with
much shrewdness and sagacty, his questions
being ...well .worded and sharply pointed" The
aim of those who are trying to make out case
against him is to show that Cadet Smith has
lied" They have not yet succeeded. One re-
port Of the trial says ITO the surprise of
everybody the charges that seemed so con
elusive have gradually become rather foggy." 1t
is plainly conspiracy of students who assume
that their dignity demands hislexpulsion.
But the disorders at West Point are not all
connected with Cadet Smith. There have been
rufianly proceedings that have no relation what
ever to him. Three students of the lowest class,
it appears, went TO some place, in violation of
rule, and drank whiskey. Discipline followed,
and the result was that the whole class took a
pledge of total abstinence, to remain in force
while they are connected with the academy.
This pledge did not please certain young "gen-
tlemen" of the Oldest class; therefore, they went
at night TO the rooms Of the three disciplined
students, dragged them out, dressed them in citi-
zeus clothes, took them by force to old Fort Pat
nam, lett them there, and forbade their return
TO West Point on pain of being tarred and
feathered. These students have now returned
through the interference of the officers Here
is matter for another count martial of much
more importance to the public than that now in
progress but we dc not hear what proceedings
are intended against the perpetrators of this ruff
fianlv outrage

school mouse Ventilation.

In order to decide upon the best mode of
warming and yentilatjng a room or building, it
becomes an important consideration to know to
what purpose it is be appropriated. Whether
it is to be used for drying lumber or crowded
with beings consuming great amount of air
by respiration Again, IN the latter case there
should be distinction between a room occupied
by persons engaged in manual and one devoted
to mental labor. Also, whether every room in
u large building is to be crowded with individu-
ais; if so, the demands Of ventilation become
vastly more important than when only one room
is to be SO occupied. With these suggestions
showing the necessity of dividing the subject,
we will con6ne our present remarks to the heat
ing and yentilating Of building to be occupied
by several schools.
Before proceeding to the subject itself it will
be advisable TO consider what conditions Of the
Child's body are best calculated to carry on the
mental processes required of them in the school
room. 1t has long been a received axiom, "keer
the head cool and the feet warm" In no con
dition is this more desirable than during mental
labor The heat of the head being increased by
an active use of the brain, it becomes injuriou,
and interleres with its highest activity to in
crease its temperature by other means. Hence
the necessity during school hours of keeping th,
feet of children warm aud the head cool. 1t il
for the purpose of accomplishing this that tn,
following plan is proposed,
In building constructed with basemen
and first and second story, occupied as schoo
rooms, let the basement be well warmed an,
the heat be allowed to come in contact with tn
floor above; this serves to warm the floor of til
first school room; as the air in the basement
not used for respiration, it is not necessary this
it should be changed, therefore it requires n
means Of ventilation. By this plan we have III
floor of the first school room warm. To suppl
sufficient quantity of warm air for the respiri
ton Of the children upon this floor is the ne,
consideration. This can be done by fiirnac
