READ AN Hour DAY.-An English
paper tells Of lad who at fourteen was
apprenticed to a soap boiler One Of his
resolutions was, to read an hour a day, or
at least at that rate, and he had an old
silver watch, left him by his uncle, which
he timed his reading by He stayed seve.l
years with his master, and said when he
was twenty-one he knew as much as the
young squire did. Now let us see how
much time he had to read III seven years,
at the rate of an hour each day II would
be 2, 555 hours, which, at the rate Of eight
reading hours per day would be forty-tive
weeks. equal to twelve months nearly a
years reading. That time spent in treas
uring up useful knowledge, would pile a
very large store. Surely it is worth trying
for. Try what you can do. Begin now.
In after years you will look back upon the
task as the most pleasant and profitable you
ever performed.

CINCINNATI.
The shingIedecker Scandal.

CINCINNATI, July 2.-Thos. L. Bond,
who made the mrrderous attack on the
Rev. J. J. Thompson, was brought before
the police court this morning, Mr.. Thomp-
son having so far recovered as to appear in
the introduction of The case. Prosecuting
Attorney Campbell said that they were pre-
pared to prove that for the prisoner to have
been able to see any improper conduct from
the dining room through the door ajar, as
had been stated by the prisoner, the shut
ters of the only front window in the room
must have been open which would have
revealed everything to persons on the
street.
Mr.. Thompson made brief statement in
which he said he did not know who struck
him, and in reply to a question from tie
court, said there was nothing improper oc-
Cured between Mrs. Shingledecker and
himself.
The defence waived an examination, and
in default of $1,000 bail, Bond was COM
mited to jail.
Bond has recently written letter to Mr..
Thomson, asking for an interview that
| would enable him to make amends for
what he had done. Everything combines
to confirm the belief entertained by Mr..
Thompson's friends from the first, that there
were no grounds whatever for the suspi-
cions that provoked the terrible assault.

ufus to Immigrants-The Tax Ques-
tIOn.
Correspondence of the Union and American.
JGHNsoNvHIE, TENN, June %, 1S72.-
Col. Killebrew's presence here a few days
since seems TO have wrought some changes
in the minds of the people in regard to
schools. He does, and every other intelli-
gent man should, advocate public schools,
and we can never get immigration turned
to our county until we have some good sys-
tenn of public schools. Col. K. was in our
county, and made speech in which he ad
vocated public schools, and l, as citizen,
am proud to see the changes that have
taken place, whether from the cause of the
above alluded to speeches or some other.
Last July we had an election to see wheth-
er we should pay tax for school purposes
or not, and am sorry to say there was not
exceeding eight votes cast for the tax. 4,
And now to-day we have had another
election for the same purpose and to show
the result and changes that have taken
place will give you the figures of the votes:
There was only seyenty-fye votes cast and
seventy-two of those were for tax-and but
three for no tax. think IN a few more
years our county will awake and throw off
the lethargy that has been hanging over 1t
for the past twenty years. -
Our soil is unsurpassed by any in Ten
nessee, our facilities as good as any other
county and if we were taxed properly and
then have the tax judiciously expended in
building good schoolhOuses, good churches,
good public baildings, and last but not least
good county roads, we would not have any
trouble in getting immigrants t. come to
our county and develop the many resources
| we have at hand.
On the other hand if we never have
| any good public arrangements we may
never expect to have any immigration.
Nor should we. If we have not energy
and enterprise among US to have good pub
lie arrangements we ought to live on in
bliss as long as we could. q believe igno-
rance is considered bliss.) If so, this has
been our unfortunate condition too long,
and hope the day is not far distant when

matter as our voters did here to-day.

NiIe-2S DAYS with LIvingstOne.

New YORK, July "A Herald dispatch
saws that letters have been received there
from Stanley, the Livingstone explorer, of
which the following is a summary from
Unyanyhube, where Stanley arrived Sep
tember last: He intended advancing on
Uiiii, but Mirambo, King of Ujowa, de-
clared that no caravan should pass Ujiji eX-
cept over his body. The Arabs declared
war and anticipated victory. gave assis-
tance the first day in the contest with him.
The Arabs attacked the villages and cap
tured, killed or drove away the inhabitants.
The third day the Arabs were ambushed
and routed with terrific slaughter. My
own men after considerable difficulty reach
ed the suburbs of UiUi. l entered firing
guns and carrying the American flag. The
astonished natives 1ocked out in crowds
with deafening shouts. l noticed in the
centre group of Arabs strongly contract
ing their sunburnt faces, looking at a grey
bearded white man wearing a naval cap
with faded gold band and led woollen
shirt, preserving the demeanor of calmness
before the Arabs. inquired, CDR. Living
stone, presume" He smiling answered
eyes" He informed me that he started in
March 1866, with twelve Sepoys, nine
Johanna men and seven liberated slaves.
He travelled up the banks of the Koruna.
His men got frightened, deserted him, and
reported Livingstone dead as an excuse for
their desertion. He crossed the Chambezi
and found it not the Portuguese Zabezi, but
wholly separate river. He found it was
called further on the Luallaba. He explored
seven hundred miles and found that the
ChanbeZi is doubtless the source of the
Nile, and that the length of the Nile is 1900
miles. 1t is not supplied by the Tonga
nycka. He reached within 190 miles of
the explored ground when he was obliged
to return to Ujiji destitute. He here met
me. We both left Oh the 10Th of October
and arrived at Unyganyembe at the end OF
November. We spent twenty eight days
exploring the district together. Livingstone
left at Unyganyembe to explore the north
side of Taniavyika lake, and remaining $50
miles of the Lulaba river. This will oc-
cupy the next two years.

TIE OLDEST HOTEL IN THE
WORLD.
From the New York Tribune


Of all the hotels in the world, the vel
oldest is a lone one in California, on the
road between San Jose and Santa Cruz
Imagine ten immense trees standing a few
feet apart and hollow inside; these are the
hotel, neat, breezy and romantic. The
largest tree is sixty-fVe feet around, and
contains sitting room and that bureau oi
Bacchus wherefrem is dispensed the thing
that biteth and stingeth. All above this
tree is garden of flowers and evergreens.
Ths drawing room is a bower made of red
wood, evergreens and madrona branches.
For bed-chambers there are nine great hoI-
low trees, whitewashed or papercd, and
having doors cut to fit the shape of the
holes. Literature finds place in leaning
stump, dubbed 'the library" If it were
not for that same haunt of Bacchus, it is
certain that the guests Of this forest estab-
hshment would feel Ike nothing so much as
dryads. E
