National Aid to Education.
SPEECH OF
Hon. James A. Garfield,
IN rns house OF FnEpREsENrATIyEs, FEBnuAnY @. Is

IN THE HOUSE REPRESENTATIVES,, FEBRUARY 6, 1872
The house having under consideration the
bill to establish an educational fund and Ia
apply the proceeds of the public lands to thu
education of the people, Mr.. GARFIELD
said:
Mr. SPEAKER: Tn the few inmates
given me shall address myself to two
questions. The first is: what do we pro
pose by this bill to give to the cause
Of education? and the second is: how
do we propose to give it? Is the elf.
itself wise, and is the mode in which we
propose to give it wise =? This arrange.
ment will include all have to say.
And first, we propose, without any
change in the present land policy, to
give the net proceeds of the public lands
to the cause of education. During the
last fifteen years these proceeds have
amounted to little more than thirty
three million dollars, or one per cent. OF
the entire revenues of the United States
for that period. The gift is not great,
but yet in one view OF the case, it is
princely. To dedicate for the future a
fund which is now one per cent. of the
revenues of the United States to the
cause of education, is to my mind a
great thought, and | am glad to give it
my endorsement. 1t seems to me that
in this act of giving, we almost copy its
prototype in what God himself has done
on this great continent of ours. In the
center of its greatest breadth, where
otherwise there might be desert forev-
er, He has planted chain of the great
est lakes on earth, and the exhalatiOns
arising from their pure waters every day
come down in gracious showers, and
make that blooming garden which 9TH
erwise might be desert waste. And
f,'om, .onr great wilderness lands it. is
that their proceeds, like the
dew, shall fall forever, not upon the
lands, hut upon the minds OF the chill
dren of the nation, giving them for all
lime TO come all the blessing and growth
and greatness that education can afford.

Lifting the Veil.

Between the here and the hereafter"
Heavens repose and earthly strife,
Hangs mystic screen dividing
soul from soul and life from life,
Soft as the dew falls on the water,
Or as mists DER mound and dale
Noiseless as bud unfolding,
Is the lifting Of tue veil.
When we pine with restless longing,
Some long vanished form TO view,
Seems This veil luminous ether,
Sanity faces beaming through,
And we almost catch the whisper,
Soil as sigh OF summrrs's gale
Almost see the beckoning finger
AT the lifting Of the veil.
Yet when all our soul is weary
OF lies turmoil. pain and whirl,
And we strive to rcnd the curtain,
LO we beat 'gainst walls of pearl
We have missed the crystal doorway,
Or the keys celestial fail,
While we wait without impatient
For the lifting Of the veil
When the face we love grows palli
Clearer, purer, day by day,
Till we see the spirits luslre
Shining through its vase Of clay;
When the jewel leaves its casket,
How we mourn and weep and wall,
AT the beckoning of the angels,
At the lifting of the veil.
To the Infinite Creator,
His grand universe is one,
Far off corridors uniting,
Sea and sky and earth and sun;
1t is all our Fathers mansion,
And the loved our hearts bewail,
Have but reached an inner chamber,
AT the lifting Of the veil
Though we cannot hear their footsteps.
AS they journey to and fro,
In those hidden, shining chambers,
No!seless rs the falling snow
Though we cannot see the vcstments,
Silvery white as moonbeams pale,
We shall meet them rs fair angels,
AT the lifting of the veil.
With HIS present works so mighty,
And his splendors spread abroad;
What must be the secret places
or the Palace of our God?
Not with sorrow, nor with anguish,
But with rapture should we hail
Every beckOning of the angels,
Every lifting of the veil.

Many persons, even III this day Of
progress, Imagine that in the transplant
ing of evergreens it is muck safer aud
more certain Of successful results to
connect with each tree ball of earth,
and hence many noviees yet continue ia
eXpend labor and tino, unnecessarily, in
mId-winter, transpanting evergreens
with large balls of frozen earth attach
ed. AL this belongs TO old time ignor-
ance, causing great amount of useless
labor without insurng any additional
success. Fol- years we have removed
evergreen trees, varying in size from
two IT, thirty feet high, at any time from
early April to the last Of June, and then
again from the first If September to the
last of October, and our practice has
been to pay little or no attention TO the
ball, but in digging the tree save as
many of the roots as possible, and neyeE
to permit them TO become drv. All
that needs primarily to ensure successful
transplanting Of evcrgreens is to keep
the roots all the time III DIST. One hour
OF tall exposure TO a drying wind is al
most certain death, as all the roots of ey.
ergreens have upon their surface resin
GUS compound, readily dried by the Mt.
mosphcre, and when once dried, insolu-
bIe IN water. Remember, then, that the
great secret Oi success-aside from tho
systematic process of labor belonging to
th' transplanting of any tree--lies in
never permitting the roots to become
dry or exposed au hour to drying wind
or sun.

What Is the daily bread,
Father, we ask Of Thee;
We, who must still be fed
Quito Thy bounty ireee
Not at the household board
Is our deep want supplied
Bins may be amply stored,
And souls unsatisiled.
For not by bread alone,
Can we, Thy children, live;
Some heavenly food unknown
Thou unto US must give.
We ask not meat to nurse
Ambitions vain desire,
Nor greed of gan-lhc curse

Not the poor, tasteleSs husks
That swine have torn and trod
And ground with beastly lusks
Let the clod feed the clod
Nurtured we all must be
By Thy sweet word alone
Asking this bread of Thee,
Thou wilt not give stone.
Thy life, o God Thy word
Outspoken through Thy Son |
In Him our prayer is heard rr
Our hearts desire is Won.
To sacrifec-to share
To give, even us lie gave;
For others wants TO care
Not our own lives TO save -

Thus be ii ever found
Our meat to do Thy will
This is the living bread
Which comelh down from heaven,
Whcrewith our sonls are fed

And Christ-like symmetry.
Who seeks this bread, shall be
Nor stinted, nor denied.

which the oil company supplied Erie
with oil. OF course this forced the stock
of the oil company down, and Fisk, it
is understood, bought in Stokes's inter
est for $4,000. Mrs. Mansfield now
joined her energies to those of Stokes.
She claimed that Fisk owed her some
$4,000, and in proof of this claim put
in copies of batch of love-letuers writ
ten to her by Col. Fisk, which were said
to expose all the secret operations of the
Erie and the Tammany rings. Fisk Sc
cured an injunction from Judge Pratt,
forbidding the publication of the letters,
as they were ruled to be scandalous and
irrelevant. During the pending of GER
tain suits between Stokes and Fisk,
Mrs. Mansfield gave the original letters
to Stokes, who Immediately made use of
them. He held them over Fisk's head,
and threatened their publication. Fisk
acted like diplomat. He submitted a
proposition to Mr.. Stokes for arbitration.
Stokes, against the advice of his coun-
sci, accepted Mr.. Clarence Seward, one
of Fisk's counsel, as arbitrator The
letters were placed in Mr.. Peter B.
Sweeney's hands for safe keeping. Mr.
Seward found against Stokes on all
points but one, awarding him $4,000 as
the price OF the letters. Stokes com,
planned that he had been swindled,
nevertheless he accepted the $4,000.
The immediate cause of the assassina
ton was probably the reception of the
news by Stokes that Fisk had, on Satur
day, obtained anindictment against him
for perjury, and that he was infurjatec

A Monster Establishment.

Krupp's great iron works at Essen,
Germany, cover nearly eight square
miles. and one and a halt miles are
under cover They furnish employ
ment for 10000 men, who do their
work under discipline as strict as that
of the military service. Castings weigh
ing forty tons have been made several
times IN these works, and ten and
twelve-ton blocks are everyday sights.
There are forty-nine hammers in the
works, of which four or five are twenty
five tons, three or four fifteen tons, and
a large number five and ten tons. The
greatest of all the hammers is a wonder,
and cost 100000. It's foundations are
one hundred feet deep, consisting of
three tiers-the first constructed OF solid
masonry, the second of the heaviest and
stoutest oaks to be found in all Ger
many, and the third of cylindrical seq
ments of cast iron upon which the anvil
block rests. The head of the hammer
weighs fifty tons. Its face is of steel,
and in making 1t, after the steel had
been cast, and while it was molten, cast
iron was poured into it IRON the back.
Everything that belongs to it, and to
the engine that operates it, is in dupli-
cate and triplicate. Four steam cranes
serve it, and tn sc are each tested to
bear two hundred tons, and are intend
ed to bear forty-ton ingots, which are
the largest cast. In 1866 sixty-on
| thousand tons of steel were turned out
| from these works.
