showing proportional expenditure of Is per

country, the interest on the Pacific railroad
bonds, and the organization of the. new Terri
tories
The above gives fair comparison of the
ordinary expenses of the two administra-
tions, and if the Democrats can take any
comfort from the figures they are welcome,
or if they want more comparisons of the
same kind they can have them. But they
must distinctly remember the costs of the
rebellion in all calculations are justly
chargeable to them. Tweed and Hall
might just as consistently hold the Repub-
licans of New York responsible for the high
taxes there, as the Democracy can hold
Republicans chargeable with the cost Of
the rebellion.

THE high appreciation for general edu-
cation entertained by the German people
is we'll illustrated i'll the following extract
from Senator Schurz's recent speech at
Nashville. In speaking of the need of
popular education, he said:
am German, ard every German heart was
lifted up by those great deeds which were per-
formed recently in France They say Germany
has great soldiers and great determination. Do
YOU know who performed those deeds that are
held up to the world as beacon lights to follow?
Not the German general, but the German IAN
schoolmaster could do such things in Germany,
why should he not be able to do them in Amer
lea? If he could do them at the North. why
could he not do them in the South ?. -
And Just here we ought, perhaps; to say
word concerning the education of girls.
Many people believe that the education of
girls is of minor Importance that they do
not need the thorough training of boys.
This is a very grave error The mothers
of the rising generation shape the destiny
of the country. Frivolous, fashionable
girls, whose highest aim is to dress in
"style,n have but little conception of their
high and noble mission in life. If we
could reach the ear of mothers, to say to
them few serious words, it would be to
direct the minds and tastes of their daugh-
ter to books and music, and the domestic
duties they will sooner or later be called
upon to discharge. In doing THE, there is
no need to lose sight of that true taste in
dress and those higher accomplishments
which will enable their daughters to fill
enviable positions in society-on the con-
trary, it is the surest guarantee that
at the proper time in these matters
they will be guided by that good
judgment which is so essential to the
accomplished lady. 1t is sad sight to sec
a bright girl in her teens giving her whole
attention and time to the follies of fashion
and pleasure. These things will force
themselves upon her consideration soon
enough after her mind is matured and her
physical form developed and will even then
have allurements strong enough to
tempt her. How foolish in mothers though
to allow them to take away the girls
mind from books and those thoughts and
pursuits which are to determine her whole
future, aye even eternity, at n time when
she is peculiarly subject to the temptations
such devotion brings.
The education we all need as a people is
a thorough and practical one, for girls as
we'll as boys-one that will give our aen
and women strong hearts and clear heads
to do well their. part in life. We need
agitation on the subject of how to educate
girls as well as on popular education.

We are always glad to get news items
from our correspondents and friends
in East Tennessee, But in order to
make such communications available and
interesting, two things are essential, first
that they should be brief and pointed, and
second, that they should be sent as prompt
ty as possible after the circumstances they
narrate occurred. Some of our friends
will find that we oftentimes shorten their
articles; this we are obliged to do, in or
der to find place for them at all.
Our space is limited and in order to give
news from all sections and to interest all
classes of readers, we find it necessary to
be always brief and to the point. Seeing
this, our correspondents would greatly aid
us by making their communications short,
and thereby save us the trouble Of cutting
them down. An article, pointed and racy,
fifty lines long, will be read by thou
sand readers, where one hundred lines
long made up Of in,nldteridL facts will not
be read by hundred. Our correspond
ents who want their articles read will,
therefore, see they are as much interested
i'm being brief as we are. The cry of edi-
tors is always brcUHy, and point. We
hope our suggestions will be noted and
improved.

STILL MORE INTERESTING FIGURES"


The National Democratic Committee has
issued an address in which the compare
tive cost of the administrations of Grant
and Pierce and Buchanan is shown SO
unfairly and falsely that it is worthy of
notice. We find in the Democratic sheet
of this city the following summary of its
statements:
INTERESTING FIGURES.
The National Democratic Committee has is
sued brief tabular statement of Government
expenditures under Grants administration, as
compared with Democratic administrations. The
Lincoln administration is omitted in the COM
parison, because it had the expense of the war;
The cost per capita, exclusive of interest on the
public debt, according to the Pierce administra-
ton, was 81 sc ; according to Buchanan's,
50 10 and according TO Grants, 81 90. In
Guiding the principal and interest of the pub
lie debt, the amount per head in population
of forty millions is, under Grant, $40 ~. The
figures further show that Grant spends per year
$3.50, 1876, 355, exclusive of principal and interest
on the public debt being more than Polk, Van
Buren,, Pierce and Buchanan spent in four
years. The total amount of taxes collected for
the last fiscal year is placed at Sal, 205, OOO
These tables are all compiled from official re-
ports submitted to and printed by Congress.
We proposeto show that these figures are
not correct The sheet referred to unso-
physically remarks that the cost of
Lincoln's administration is not included in
the comparison, because it had the Eek
penses of the war; to bear.
Well, pray tell, are the burdens of the
war yet removed? Are not two-thirds of
the taxes the people nooO pay directly a
burden imposed by the Democratic rebel
lion? We will show that they are. The
fret ,,,icranracantationo of tbic onpn,ittaa
is in deducting only the interest on the pub
Tic debt, as all the burden imposed by the
war. Let us see how this is. We say that
if it had not been for the Democratic re-
bellion, we would not only not have our
present public debt, but we would have no
pensions OF bounties to pay to soldiers, no
national cemeteries to maintain, no in
creased expenses of Army and Navy
to provide for, no assessors and col
lectors of revenue, no whisky taxes
to enforce by an army of officers,
no expenses in negotiating public
loans, and no increase of thousands of
clerks in the Departments at Washington
to keep accounts of taxes collected, pen
sions paid &c. All these are expenditures
for which the Democratic party are as just
ly responsible, as the Democratic thieves of
New York city, Tweed, Hall & Co., are an
swerable for the enormously high taxes
heaped upon the people of that metropolis
because of their gigantic robberies. If we
want, then, to make a fair comparison be-
tween the expenditures of Grants Admin
istration and that of Buchanan's let us de-
duct the extraordinary expenditures en-
tailed by the Democrats in their unholy
war against the Government, and see how
the usual or ordinary expenditures COM
pare. Let us compare, for example, the
following:

Make them Think.

A young man was urging his com
panion to seek the salvation of his
soul, but was answered that he did
not think much about it.
"Then you do sometimes think
of it." said the other.
Yes, when you, or some one else,
makes me, but / put it out of my
mind as soon as / can"
And this is true of most uncon-
verted persons. They will not think
of God and of their own spiritual
interests when they can possibly
help it. We need to use our best
efforts to make them think. This
is not done so much by long weari-
some appeals as by brief, pointed,
afectionate seed thoughts dropped
into the heart at opportune moment,
and left to germinate there under
the warm beams of the Spirits
power.
But this seed-sowing must be fire.
quently and wisely done. We
should choose time when no one
else is near, and never let an oppor
tunity pass when the soil of the
heart is especially prepared to re-
ceive it. Many bereavement has
been the means Of bringing the
thoughtless and careless to refec-
tion and conversion, because a friend
has wisely improved the hour when
the heart was softened.
Many are hnidered from making
this effort, from a feeling that a great
deal ought to be said, and they are
unequal to the task. But in all ordi-
nary cases your words should be
few A single sentence well put,
showing your deep interest and feel
ing, is often more powerful than 4
sermon. Even 4 tear or an earnest
grasp of the hand, has stirred the
heart to its depths, showing that
others were deeply concerned for
the souls welfare.
Pray earnestly for the friend be-
fore you address him, and the way
will open, and seem easy; follow mp
any impression that may be made by
little earnest notes and frequent
words of loving counsel and sympa-
thy; but above all pray much, and
never doubt but your prayers will
be heard and answard-S. s.
