PEABODY AID FOR PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

Some interest is felt i'm several towns
and districts in East Tennessee, as to the
conditions upon which aid for schools can
be obtained from the Peabody fund. We
have before us the proceeding of the lastan-
nual meeting of the Trustees in which we
find Or. Sears, the general agent, explains
the conditions referred to. In his report
we find, for example, that schools in the
Sd and 18th civil districts of McMinn, and
in the 18th district of Washington coun-
ties have been aided We find also that
money has been given to schools in Jones'
boro', Cleveland, Knoxville and other
points. Further aid is offered, npon con-
ditions, in substance as follows That the
district schools shall contain at least 100
scholars, with an average attendance of
50, and with competent teacher for every
80 pupils.
If the people in such schools pay for cur
rent expenses, &c, at least twice the sum
received from the fund, DIR. Sears will pay
to each such school $500. To schools OF
one hundred and fifty he pays $3.50. To
schools of two hundred, 5000 and to those
of three hundred, 81 900. To colored schools
he pays two-thirds of above rates. In or
der to secure good faith on the part of
schools receiving aid, DR.. Sears requires
that some responsible and wellknown citi-
zen of the county shall consent to see that
the conditions stipulated are fulfilled. .
We give this information with pleasure
and trust our people will avail themselves
of the benefits of this great public munifi-
cence. 1t was given by Mr.. Peabody, be-
cause he knew that as a people, depressed
by the ravages of war, we would be slow
to expend money in this great and good
work. 1t was given to aid the South in
building up a system of public schools, the
value of which no one BETTER appreciated
than this great public benefactor. We are
entitled to its benefits and we trust the
friends of education, whenever necessary,
will avail themselves of them.

ONE of the most remarkable of the recent
developments in France is that Ganbetta
reappears in the counselsOf that unfortunate
people. He has recently made speech at
Bordeaux, in which he favors Republic
on the model of 80 and looks to the recov-
cry of Alsace and Lorraine in from ten to
twenty years. 1t would seem to us that
after his dishonesty and unscrupulousness
as shown during the war, he ought to have
no influence in the Assembly, but, there
is no predicting what Frenchmen will

Colorado is Stock Ccuntrys

With q constant increase of new sub
scribers, and careful reading of our
paper by many, it is necessary to repeat
leading facts in regard to the resources
of Colorado, and the subject of stock
growing is one about which, people in
The States, are constantly ehqttirings-
We would say, then, that highly favor
able as Colorado is for crops fall kinds,
Il is atill moro faFF6rabls ftit EtoHkj ard
for the special reason that there is good
feed through every month in the year.
The native grass which looks SO
worthless to strangers, and which gives
the plains desolate appearance on ac-
count Of its gray color, is exceedingly
nutritious It is the absence Of rain
which gives it this color, which makes
it rich and which Is the reason why
tits gfa&ing IS Hs good iii Winter az il
Summer, for it cures as it stands, and
it is uninjured by moisture. That is,
there is just enough rain falls to make
it grow, but not enough to soak and
rot it after it is grown. We have,
therefore, vast extent of grazing
ground, embracing thousands of square
miles, on which stock Is Kept both
Winter and Summer, without other
care than of hefding; Whether shelter
ought hot tt be Provided and hay cut,
is another question, but it is fact,
that fully million head are kept the
year round without either
It is true that in some places grazing
is better than in others, and as water
is indispensable, the valleys Of our
rivers and streams are first occupied.
The valley of the Platte, for q distance
cf 100 miles cart dt dc; Is docttpied ty

ing 100000 But there are many ranges
still unoccupied, both on the mount
aiiis ard d1i tile plains. and whoever
wishes to engage III the business can
find ample opportunity.
But it is important to understand
that not every man is fitted for this
pursuit. Capital is required i'll the first
place, and then, one must have taste
for it and be willing to undergo the fa-
tigue and exposure arising from the care
and st least from the oversight of cattle,
Some, particularly young men, are apt
TO think they will have nothing to dc
but get a few cattle, turn them lose,
and let them increase without further
thought or care Such will certainly
lose what they may invest. Those who
have succeeded in stock growing, are
active and sharp business men, who are
constantly on the watch, and of these
there will be enough, in few years, tt
occupy the greater part Of this vas
range, and whoever would enter int
competition with them must be equally
industrious and active. Of course
only few, comparatively speaking, arr
fitted to succeed in q life requiring Wig

The solitary instance in which any
attempt is made to specify the items of
the various accounts. occurs in the war
rants drawn i'll favor of the New York
Printing Company on May 20, 1862.
On this day four different payments
were made amounting to S15, 951. 81,
and all representing the single item of
"blank books" It may be remember
ed that IN March last our neighbors in
brooklyn were greatly startled to find
,tilat tiIe Eagle, while devoting itself to
the advocacy Of public economy, had
pocketed somewhat exorbitant pro-
fits out of the printing and sta
tiorery bills of Kings county
The price OF blank books was clearly
brought out III the course of the inves-
tigation which ensued-a manufactures
having declared their market value to
be seyehty five cents. We may safely
assume that the books used. by the
county offices of New York do not ma
terially differ from those used in Kings
county. At this rate the modest bill
of the New York Printing Company
ought to represent q, ,268 blank books
"a mountain of stationery which we
leave TO the imagination OF our readers.
The Eagle refunded some few thousand
dolla1s, on the score Of exorbitant
charges. Let the public have a sight
of the details of the New York Print
ing Company's accounts, and we shall
see whether they also cannot be CON-
PEELED to disgorge. To assist in form
ing an idea Of how grossly the commu-
nifty has been swindled under the heads
cf expenditure given to-day, it is only
necessary to add that for 1869 and
1870 the stationery and printing bills of
Kings county amounted to $48, 073 O4,
and Here overcharged at that, while
for similar period of two years there
was expended for printing and station
cry by the County of New York the
sum of $2, 272, 643, 80, or nearly forty
eight times as much. Does anybody
suppose that the business of New York
county requires forty eight times the
for stationery that is found
sufficient for the County of Kings?

A Baltimore KIept0maRiae Shot Dead.


Shortly after 2 o'clock yesterday
morning William L. Porter was shot
and killed on Union Dock by George
Phillips, the driver of one of Oler's ice
carts. The deceased had the reputa-
tion of being river thief, and the
stealing of ropes from vessels in the
harbor was his chief employment. At
the time above indicated Porter had
procured boat on the soulh side Of
the basin and started on his nightly
raid He had been seen several times
during the night by private watchman
Willing. and watching an opportunity,
he ran his boat between the two YES
Ea1s living near the foot of West Falls
avenue. Geofge Philips had gone to
the wharf for the pttrPdss OF Loading
up his wagon with ice, preparatory to
going on his route, and the watchman
communicated to him what was going
on. They then started together down
the dock, and Phillips, got over fence
and on pile OF lumber, when Porter
was in full view. He called to him
s8TT8fAl times to stop; and, Porter hav-
ing paid no attention to him. fired at
him with q navy revolver, that he had
taken from the hands of the private
watohman. The shot took effect III the
back OF Porter, and near to the spinal
column, and it is supposed caused his
death soon after. He was subsequent
ly found in his boat, with several
pieces of rope he had stolen, together
with two case knives, which he had
Ealen from the house of his mother.
Phillips was arrested. Porter, the de-
ceased, had for years led the life OF a
river thief. HIS mother was aware OF
his propensity, and had frequently re-
monstrated with him, but to no effect
It appeared to be mania, and he could
not resist the temptation to deprecsate
upon the property of others until his
life paid the penalty.

The latest Dog Story

The Marshtield (Mo.) Citizen gives an
instance of remarkable intelligence on
the part CT dog of that town. The
dog had been deeoyed toSpringfield by
some teamsters, and chained up. MI
Abbott, hearing of his whereabouts,
sent word to release him, which was ac'
cordingly done. Frank at once made
for the depot, and patiently remained
there until train-time After waiting
there for several hours, two trains came
laundering along, one bound east, and
the other west. Franks tail now gave
evidence of unbounded JOY, and with
out going through the usual ceremony
of the ticket office, he jumped aboard
the eastern train, determined to dead
head y it if possible. Upon arriving at
Marshfeld, without making any lnqul,
ries as to what place it was, he bounded
off the train and made his way home,
seemingly "the happiest dog alive. =
What makes it remarkable, is the fact
that he came alone, and was the only
passenger that got off at this point, anc
still more that he should get on the
right train at Springfield, even Whel
! the western bound train started a lev
minutes before the eastern.
