Mr.. Pierce. of VI ssis,ippi

--Mr. Pierce, OF NJ ssisSippi, has IN
troduced a bill into the House Of Rep
resontativcs which provides that the
moncy arising from the sale ofpublic
lands shall be used for tho support Of
public schouis, one-half TO be distribu-
ted annually and the other half iuvcst
ed in u permanent fuLd, Of which the
interest shall bc used for the same
purpose. All States and Territories
which will avail themselves of this
act and agree to educate their chill
dren between the ages Of six aud six
teen ar: to 10 entitled to tho advan-
tages of it, the conditions being thai
.thoy make annual school reports to
Congress, educate all children. and
submit to such other terms as Con-
sress may impose. Such a plan as
this would doubtless be very beneficial
in many parts Of the South, wbere ig
norancc and the poverty produced by
q great war have rendered the people
unwilling aod unable to provide means
of educating their children bpt 10
the North, where nearly every Stato
has a common.school system Of its
own, such provision seems unnecessary.

style and structure, met the Chicago

that il only who proiesscd TO sell the
ale drank it, Mr.. Lii must DO doing .

with some surprise that we learn
that MIR. Lill, at Chicago
rcbnild meeting the other night, stated
his burned brewery would never be
reconstructed, as he was sick of The

added, but oil his employees were
