send her in the country to a relatives,
and Tor that purpose ordered buggy.
He was too much taken up with the
things Of this world to spare time to go
home himself; aud then he thought
there was no use for his doing SO, as
Eliza didn't know of Arthur's where
abouts. How mistaken he was. Before
Arthur left the hotel the first time, he
had written to Eliza. Aud while the
Old gentleman was pouring over business
letters, his daughter was preparing to
take her final departure from under the
parental roof.
Imagine hia consternation when the
servant returned aud informed him that
Eliza had gono, and no one ON the place

Letters aud everything else were
thrown aside, AS soou rs this intelligence
fell upon his ears aud almost in less
time than it takes US to record it he MAS

Sure enough, when he got there he
found that the bird had flown.
Up stairs, in the garde aud every
nook and corner were searched, but no
trace of the missing girl was discovered
After awhile note was found upon
the bureau drawers. 1t was one that
Eliza had indicted to her father pre-.
paratory to leaving.

seemed almost convulscd with the emo.

Here is the note
"MY DARLiNd FATnERsEDon't get
angry with me, I am doing, no more
than you would do under similar circum-
stances. You know I love you, dear
father, but love Arthur also, and you
told me l should never marry him. 1
believe if you knew how noble and gen.
erous he is, you would not be SO opposed
to our union. Please do not abuse him
any more. for before you get this he will
be the husband of your daughter,

AS soon as Mr. Boyer had finished
this note, he sent his store for his sons.
When they came, hasty directions were
given to each of them as to how and
where they should search.

While the newly married couple were
discussing the difficulties through which
they had gone, rap was heard at the
door. Thinking that the carriage had
come, Arthur walked to the door, and
opened it.
Had the earth opened under his feet,
he could not have been more surprised
than he was in beholding at that time

and tremendous shrek escaped her lips.

particular cases TO the general rules ~
seems to us that our School system Is
now halting in an illogical and there
fore false position, from which there
are but two. ways Of escape, the one
way back ward andthe other forward.
The back ward way is, to repeal all
taxes, and .slet Education take care
of itself" solely according to the
wishes and means Of the individual.
Let us be thankful that the people
are already too wise to consent to
that. The forward way is, to enact
that, in order TO secure to the tax
paying citizen that full measure OF
immunity and welfare by means OF
general education for which he Is
compelled to pay, the children must
be sent to school, or else equally
educated at home. That is to say
though the sound of the words has
all unpleasant twang to some-we
must adopt the principle OF Compul'
sorry Education.

THE low VOTER.
A. F. Sperry. Editor.
Compulsory Education.

We are glad to see that this subject
is receiving attention now in various
quarters, journalistic and legislative.
1t is one of the great "reforms" yet
before the American people. True,
there are some, even at this late day,
who "don't believe itright that they
should be taxed to pay for the school
ing of their neighbors' children;"
but fortunately one needn't waste
much time in arguing with them
about it, as that matter is already
settled.
Thefacts and principles upon which
our present system Of taxation for
Public Schools is based are these:
The safety Of the state depends upon
the education of the people; the
welfare Of the citizens depends upon
the safety Of the state; therefore it is
right that the citizen should be
taxed to pay for that general educa-
tion which is necessary to his own
safety, as part OF the running
expenses Of the state.
But herein has always been a
logical defect in the system. If the
safety of Mr.. Jones as citizen de-
pends upon the education Of the
people to such a degree that, as is
admitted, Mr.. Jones may justly be
taxed to pay for the education Of Mr..
Smiths children, it is evident that
this education Of Mr.. Smiths. chill
dren must be matter of actual
pecuniary Importance to Mr.. Jones,
and something which, when he has
paid for it in the way of taxation, he
has a right to demand. Then, If Mr..
Jones has paid his school tax, and
Mr.. Smith is freely allowed to de-
prive him Of the full benefit Of that
tax by keeping his, Smiths, chill
dren away from the school, Mr.. Jones
has just right to complain. He
don't receive the full measure of. that
for which he Is compelled to pay.
To make the matter more apparent,
Ilet us enlarge 1t a little: Suppose that
Mr.. Jones is a wealthy bachelor,
and that all the other people in the
District are poor folks with many
children---a not impossible case by
any means. Now the same argu-
ments by which it is proven that
Mr.. Jones ought to pay School tax in
that District are precisely the argu-
ments by which 1t is also proven that
Mr.. Jones has just and legal right
to insist that his neighbors' children
in that District shall be educated at
least to the extent for which his
money is supposed to pay. ia
In other words, and to come from

The great item of news about the
Franco Prussian war is that the city
of Paris capitulated last week. The
dispatches received here up to yester-
day morning were very meagrc and
quite conflicting but from careful
scanning Of them we gather that the
propositions for the surrender of the
city were made about the first of last
week, and discussed until last Thurs
day night, and then signed. The
garrison of the city surrendars. A
contribution" of $4,000, 900 francs is
imposed upon the city. 1t appears
that the German forces occupy at
present only the Notifications around
Paris. Dispatches as to the general
terms of the capitulation are very in
distinct. We cannot gather surely
whether the agreement includes an
end of the whole war or not. 1t ap-
pears that French National Assem-
bly, is to be summoned. The FEEDER
al Council of the new Empire Of Ger
many is also to meet, on the Sth inst.
King William has gone, or soon will
60, home to Berlin. More definite
news as to the whole matter must
soon be received. Great riots in the
city, and perhaps horrible scenes OF
suffering and crime, are among the
things we must expect to hear of. 1t
would seem that a general peace must
soon come, at any rate, even if not
already decided on; and then France
will probably be left to reconstruct a
Government for herself.

back of the first hog slain by the
Colonists. A forefatler of Col. Stout's
carried the pig-skin wallet with him
through the French war and Indian
war, and was shot beside the brave
Gen. Wolf on the bloody heights Of
Abraham, in September 1859. The
pocket-book, containing some En-
glish coin, found its way back to the
right family, and held nothing but
English coin and Bank of England
notes until the Revolutionary war.
Col. Stout's grandfather marched

through several terrible engagements,
and when he fell at Richmond the

are already sending immense quan.
titles of food into the city. The Ger

peace. Outside Of Paris, some OF the
French are "stupifled" by the arm

a Coop TIIING.-The Bunker
Hill Farmers Club" was organized
something over year ago, in the
community about 6 miles southeast
of Knoxville. It meets every other
Friday evening, at the SchooIhouses;
and it has now become a live and
flourishing institution, attended with
interest and success. The good it
has accomplished since its,organizaT
ton Is plainly visible. ~ AT the
meetings Of the Club, the. Farmers
discuss aiItopics pertaining to farm
ing, &C., and contribute such items
Of information and experience as
they may deem proper. Thus a
double good is accomplished. The
Club has already received from the
Department of Agriculture Mt Wash
ington many packages Of valuable
seeds, of various kinds, and numer.
Gus interesting documents. The
meetings on Friday evenings are
open to the public; but Of course only
members of the Club can share its
special benefits.
We remember that, two or three
years ago, before there was any such
organization in this region, we urged
tho forming of such Clubs, and re-
published considerable matter PER
tanning to them. And we are partic
.ularly glad to know that at least one
such organization is alive and flour
ishing in the County now. There
are, we think, two or three others;
but we have no definite news from
them lately. There ought to be at
least one good, live, and permanent
Farmers Club in every Township.
1t would pay the Farmers well, in
more ways Aan one.
j. NJ. Welch, Of Knoxville, is Sec'y
of the Club above named, and will
doubtless furnish cheerfully any
information asked in regard to the
manner of organizing and conduct
ing, &c.
