1t is only necessary to look at the
personnel of the two parties to see
how the unsupported talent and con
spicuous virtue of the country grav-
itates toward the Liberal side.-
Most OF the great leaders of the Re
publican party stand with Greeley
and Sumner under the Liberal flag,
and the two great war Governors,
Curtin and Blair, are arranged by
their side. Gov. Chamberlain
reaches his hand across the country
to take that of Gov. Brown. Gen.
Banks, and Barlow, and Slocum
support TrumbuIT and Schurz and
Julian. All the distinguished war
Democratic ere with us, except Gen.
Butler, who sticks to Grant out Of
spite and to punish Massachusetts,
Republicans. Indeed the parties
are strangely divided, the profits are
on the Grant side, but the prophets
are on the Greeley side. II is as
true now as ever that where the
buffalo falls the vultures gather.

Are We an Educated People /?
We often boast of our educational
facilities, our civilization and our
refinement. We talk Of our high
schools, our colleges and our uni
versities, With feelings of pride,
we speak of our splendid buildings
erected for the education of the
young, our costly apparatus ana our
vast endowment furds. We are
very slow to acknowledge that We
are not an educated people. If we
will look at the statistics Of the Ed
ucational Bureau we will find some
alarming facts. The circular of in
formation for the year 1870 shows
that the nOR-reading voters were in
the majority in seventeen States
The number of illiterate adults in
our country is estimated at about
six nj lions. Add to this the three
millions illiterate persons between
the ages of ten and twenty, and more
than a million under ten who have
no prospect of an education, and the
number is swollen to upwards of ten
millions. What over ten millions
of illiterate persons in this highly
favored ~ land Of ours; this land
of civilization and refinement; this
land of schools and churches!-
This is sad thought.
These figures may be a little ex-
aggerated, yet We should feel con
scious of the fact that We are def
cient in education.
Is our government doing her du-
tY? How much money has been ex-
pended in the. erection of the forti-
fcations and lighthouses which
stud our entire coasti How vastly
more beneficial would it be TO our
people if this large fund of money
had been expended in building up in
stitutions Of learning! Where one
life is lost or would be lost by ship
wrecks if there we're no lighthouses,
thousands die from an Ignorance Of
health, food, drink and ventilation.
Where one life is saved by fortifica-
tioas, thousands may perish on &C
count of the unskiifulness Of an un-
educated people. Education is the
nations mightiest means Of defence.
The intelligent educated German
army in the late European war was
the most powerful military force
ever known. SHIREs.

Hope.

Hope
It is the souls youthful impulse
by which we are cheered and COM
forted in the yicissitudes and adver-
stiles OF our present lot; and
through which, as seeking a more
endearing substance than it yields,
we receive accessions of courage
and of strength to "press forward
toward the mark for the prize Of
our high calling of God in Christ
Jesus" It is the light of human
life, which else were cherries to
us. 1t comes to us like an envoy
from the Son of Righteousness,
with healing in its wings and mes
sages of joy upon its half parted
lips. It comes to us in 'the day of
darkness, which are many" aud
cheers us with indications of a
bright tomorrow, It finds the sky
of life with clouds upon it, and
tinges them with radiant hnes;. and
even when the storm is dark bursts
through its gloom, and spans the
armament with its bow of promise.
It finds us sinking, and arrests us
ere we fall. It finds MS cast down,
and stretches out its hand to raise
us. It never leaves US nor forsakes
us, but at our bidding word it
keeps back the invading pressure of
terrible despair, beckons us awav to
the green pastures, where the still
waters, which refresh them, are ra-
diant with the smile of God. 1t
tells us of a better portion, and that,
however it may have failed US in
our time of need, the world has
pleasant places, and it is "good for
us to be here" It comes to us
when the heart is sick and ready to
faint, and enlivens us with friendly
words. It invests the spirit of
heaviness with the garment oil
praise. 1t lifts up-the hands that
hang down, and when joy comes
not with the morning, it ''giveth
songs in the night" 1t transposes
itself into expectation and inspires
us with fresh trust to quietly wait
1t invades the domain of disap- |
pointment and the chill recesses of
deep grief, and people them with
glad thoughts and happy sights. It
speaks with soothing tones to the
i'll fortuned, shipwrecked and bro |
ken-hearted brother in his voyages
of life, and encourages him, amid
'sthe waves of this troublesome
world, to attempt the adventurous
way once more. It fenews the face
Of things and transmutes TO a
seeming preciounesss the crude,
rough elements it touches. Oh! it
has a charmers power. There is a
before it and a Garden of
Eden behind; before it is despair,
arnentatiOnh and woe; behind is the
of joy, thanksgiving, and
,he voice of melody. It is well for
5ur present happiness, well for our
immortal yealning, that Hope doth
sbide. tits the light that hallow
,th with blessedness our present
OF; and, when abiding in compan
onship with Faith, guides us to that
,igher happiness we long for, and
ghich we find not here. Hope
cans on Faith, and Faith leans on
Hope; and under their united min
stry we are both enabled to main
ain our lot in time, and work out
or eternity our souls salvation.

Johnson,s P,rocalmationr.. !.


General Andrew Johnson now
claims that his heart was overGowing
with the milk Of human kindness
for his erring and misguided Ten
nessee brethren during the late war.
With tears in his eyes, and with
wooing voice he is now telling all
about how he lOyed and protected
his people. gaqa aas 30 l.fib, aa.r .
While the war was raging our old
men left behind, with their little
goods about them, were constantly
robbed and imprisoned, and as they
daredlnot leave home, no doubt they
believed that it was against the viii
and consent of the genial and low
ing Andrew. But to yindicate the
truth of history, we lay before our
readers the following proclamation
which brought woe, misery and de-
struction to more than a thousand
hearthstones in Tennessee. jain
ExEcUrIvE OFETcE.
NASHVILLE TENN, May 8, 1872:
Whereas, Certain persons un.
friendly, and hostile to the Govern
ment of the United States, have
banded themselves together, and
are now going at large through
many Of the counties Of this State,
arresting, maitreating and plmder-
ing Union citizens wherever found.
Now, Therefore, ], Andrew John
son, Governor of the State Of Ten
nessee, by yirture of the power and
authority in me vested, do hereby
proclaim that in every instance in
which a Union man is arrested and
maltreated by the marauding bands
aforesaid fVs or. more Rebels from
the most prominent in the imme-
dIate neighborhOod, shall be arres-
ted, imprisoned and otherwise dealt
with as the nature CT the case may
require; and further. in all cases
where the property of citizens, loyal
to the government of the United
States, is taken or destroyed, full
and ample remuneration shall be
made to them out Of the property or
such rebels in the vicinity, as have
sympathized with and given aid,
Information or encourage
meht to the parties committing
such depredations. hea f.I
This order win be executed IN
letter and spirit. All citizens are
hereby warned under heavy penali-
ties, from entertaining, receiving or
such persons 50 band

Signed, ANDREW JoHNsoE,
Military Governor.
Thus were our people compelled
to suffer for the acts OF others, over
whom they had no control, and un-
der tliis license, had men robbed,
plundered and murdered our people,
and the ears Of General Andrew

The Romanee 0f Arilhmetic

Chambers Journal has a fine ar
tiele on this subject, some ex-
tracts are given > i''s
The most romantic OF att num-
bers is figure nine, because it can
be multiplied away or got rid OF
anyhow. Whatever you do, it IS as
sure to turn up again as the body
of Eugene Aram's victory. One re-
markable property Of this figure
(said to have bsen first discovered
BY ". Green. who died in 1917 Is
that all through the multiplication
table the product of nine comes to
nine. Multiply By what YOU ike,
and it gives the same result. Be
gin with twice nine, Is; add the dig
its together. and I and S makes 8.
So it goes on, up to eleven times
nine, which gives 80. Very good;
add the digits; 8 and 8 are Is, and
| and s are nine. Going on TO any
extent it is impossible to get rid Of
the figure nine. Take a couple of
instances at random, Three hun-
dred and thirty-nine times nine ATE
3,05li add mp the figures and they
give nine. Five Thousand and sew
enty-one times nine are 45.6s9; the
sum of these digits is 27; and 2 and
are 0.
NJ. de Maivan found ont another
queer thing about this number;
naameiy, that il you take any row of
figures, and, reversing their order,
make a substraction sum of it, the
Total is sure to be nine.
