Encourage Education.

The subject ofeducation, says the Knox
vile Chronicle, has received more atten-
ton at the hands of the 41st Congress,
than was ever given to it by any former
legislative body. Some of the very best
men in it have given the subject great
| study. AS result, several bills are now
before Congress for legislation. One OF
these. introduced by Mr.. Arnell, of Ten
nessee, is of particular interest to the
| South. Its provisions are as follows:
"That all sums of money arising from
the sales of the public lands ofthe United
States during the year eighteen hundred
and seventy one, and for the term of four
years thereafter. be. and the same are
hereby, devoted to the exclusive use and
support of common schools III the States
of Virginia North Carolina, South Caro-
lima, Georgia, Florida, Alabama. Missis-
sippi, Tennessee, Louisiana and Texas.
2. That the Secretary of the Interior shall
disburse the same, through the Bureau of
Education. under rules and regulations
approved by the President. and that a
special report giving in detail the place of
expenditure of each and every dollar of
said sum-, and the results arising from the
same, shall be made by him annually TO
the Congress of the United States"
This bill, we are informed on the high
est authority, is very favorably received,
and will be pressed by some of the oldest
and ablest members of both Houses.
1t is hardly necessary for us to urge the
necessity for such a law. The South.
desolated by the war needs just such en-
enlargement from the General Govern
ment. If the Commissioner of Educa-
ton could be given some discretion in the
disbursing of this fund, so that he could
apply it to localities where the people
would cooperate with him, and by their
own efforts add to the fund the Govern
ment gives them, it would serve both to
encourage and aid them in the good work.
DR.. Sears. in disbursing the Peabody tund
has acted upon this plan, and we know
it has served to provoke efforts in behalf
of education i'm communities where other
wise the seed would have fallen among
one and have brought no yield. We
suppose the second section of the act was
intended to grant such discretion. Ifnot,
we hope the necessary amendment will
be made. If it shall happen that the bill
is not finally acted upon during this ses-
sion, W. hope it will be promptly pressed
in the 42d Congress, and it may OOH be-
come 4 law.

III LAST APPEAL.

On next Saturday the momentous issue
of Free Education or No Schools, In Wash
ington county, will be decided by the suf-
frages of her people. 1t is a solemn issue.
A duty is connected with this public action
which is inseparable from a good and re-
spectacle citizenship. An imperative OBJ
legation rests upon all alike. Away with
the absurdity Il have no children t. edu,
cate and am not willing to be taxed to ed
ucate the children of Others" the only ar
gument we have ever heard against the
school tax. This supreme selishness is
detestable, unworthy of the man who bears
the image of Him who created all minds
and demands the expansion and c%ultiva-
ton of their energies and powers. What
if you have no children, are you therefore
not interested in the welfare and progress
of the country which depends upon the
intelligence and intellectual refinement of
the people? Will you see school houses
untenanteA, and children growing up in
ignorance, and vice, and Incidence, its ma
trral consequences, before you will unite
your purse-strings and give less than the
widows mite" to avert this burning dis
grace and everlasting disaster? Are you so
incased in avarice that you willnot spare
from your earnings, hard though they may
be, a mere pitance for the good of others
and your own indirect advantage? The
great and noble-hearted Peabody, the ben
efactor of the world. had no children, and
yet, when he died. he bequeathed, as a
legacy to his fellow-creatures, on both sides
of the Atlantic, millions for the purpose
of education. Our own county has been
a beneficiary of his unparalleled generosi-
to, to the amount of thousands, and now
shall we SO disgrace and d~isllonor ourselves
as to refuse to increase this benefaction
that inures only to our personal advantage?
The man of liberal sentiment must be
smitten with moral blindness and lunacy,
who will oppose the proposed school tax.
The system may present some defects and
some obstacles to the full attainment of its
objects, still, at the same time, it is far
better than no system at all. We prefer
other systems ourselves, but take this n
because we can get hone better. The man
who votes against the proposition from a
p~ecuniary consideration, and we can con-
ceive of no other reason, is narrow-minded
and soul-contracted. and is perfectly COM
placent over his hoardings, whilst the
youth around are growing up in profound
ignorance. BY all means. vote for the
school tax, and honor yourselves besides
beneftting others and promoting the inter-
ests of the whole community.

WASHINGTON, March 5.-The Forty

Although the day without was most incle-

the spacious galleries of each house till
they literally overlooked into the adjoin-

came to take the places of those just retir-

In nine cases out Of ten, says the
Hearth and Home, no mans life will
be q success if he does not bear bur-
dens in his childhood. Il the fond.
ness or vanity Of father or mother
have kept them from hard work if
another always helped him out at the
end of his row if, instead of taking
bis turn at pitching of, he moved
away all the time-in short, if what
was light always fell 10 hin, aud
what was heavy about the same work
to some one else; if he has been per-
mitted to shirk until shirking has
become q habit-unless q miracle is
wrought, his life will be failure, and
the blame will not be half so much
his as that of weak, foolish parents.
On the other hand, if a boy has
been brought up to do bis part, never
allowed to shirk any legitimate rs-
sponsibility, or to dodge work whether
or not it made his back ache, or
soiled his hands-until bearing heavy
burdens became a matter Of pride,
the heavy end Of the wood bis from
ohoice-parents, as they bid him
good bye, may dismiss their fears
His life will not be u business failure.
The elements Of success are his, and
at some time and in some way the
world will recognize his capacity.

There is a good story told in Washing
ton about Chinese servant employed by
Admiral Porter, that on reception day the
duty of attending the door was assigned
to All Sin. Accustomed 10 the social
usages of his own land, where visitors
rank is indicated by the size of the card,
and where a huge yellow one meant the
presence of a prince, he treated the little
bits Of pastebosrd with contempt. While
nodding his head and tossing the bits of
paper uuceremoniously in the basket, the
gas collector happens to present his bill.
The long yellow slip took All Sin. With
profound salaams he bowed the astounded
gas man into the presence of the amazed
family.

Small Mouths.

What am about to record may surprise
some people; but have always noticed
that in women who have an extremely
small mouth there is seldom observed that
amiableness of disposition and character,
which is 80 frequently found in those who
have handsome mouth of moderate size.
It would seem that too small mouth in
dicates a weakness which degenerates into
afectatiOn. The last mentioned quality
seems TO be so inseparably attached to
smallness Of the mouth, that even those
females who have an ordinary mouth,
when they are going to be affected, always

I'D the IeveliDg Of an ancient Indian

At the leveliDg of an ancient Indian
mound near st. Louis, Mo only a few
days ago, very interesting specta
Gle was presented. Among those who
witnessed it were Professor Marsh, OF
Yale College, Or. Briggs, of St. Louis,
and General A. J. Smith. The
mound was originally forty feet in
height, oval in shape, and about 300
feet in length. About twenty years
ago there was a house on top of it,
and graveyard on the side. During
the progress of the work the labOrers
have dug up the bones of three races,
first those of the whites, second those
Of the Indians, and then of the mound
builders. Prof. Marsh secured thin ty
skulls of the mound builders, Que
alone being perfect. These were
found in two vaults, one a square
structure, the other of crescent form,
and both about fifty feet across.

1t IS known that in early life Sam
Houston abandoned a just-wedded
wife and the governorship of Tennes,
see, and for many years lived in vol
untary exile among the Indians. The
reason Of the freak has just been dis
covered. He learned within a few
hours after his marriage that his wifi
did not love him, but had been urged
into the match by an ambitious fami
ly, while loving another man. He a
once left the place and by his subse
quent exile gave the lady right t.
the divorce which she obtained.
