DESTRUCTION OF THE PREscoTT PAPERs.
Among the minor and still very serious and
irreparable losses occRSloned by the Boston
connagratlon we regret to be obliged to
chronicle the complete destruction OF the let
tiers, papers, and manuscripts Of the historian
Prescott. During the absence In Europe OF
the members OF the family into whose pos
session they had come, these valuable docu.
ments had been stored "iOr safety" In one Of
the splendid warehouses which disappeared
like log huts In prairie hro under the stress
OF the tremendous conhagTatlon. Mr.. Pres
colts physical innrmity had made 1t neces-
sary for him TO cause copies TO be taken OF
an immense number and variety OF ancient

Graphic Picture or the starvation OF Her Farm
LLbOTeTs.
A meeting was held not long since In
stratford, England, with the object Of form
Ing a branch Of the General Agricultural
Union, aud OF improving the intellectual
and physical condition OF the agricultural
laboror through the medium Of rise OF
wages The proceedings were opened by
the chairman, Mr. Henry BrOokos, of Ching
ford. There were. he said, 10000 agricul-
turOl lubmcrs In England, Of WHOM l4O,
had iOiurd the union. How foolish, then,
was Ii MT for Right Reverend Bishop to
talk Of puUlling the agitation by ducking
agltatOrS In a horse pond. He (Mr. BrOokes)
had never heard at labOreTB' meetings q
word iadCailis m Intention TO resort to Vio-
lence against farmer or landlord, but those
who cOunseled physical force should nrGt re-
member comparative numbers. Mr.. Redsell,
q labOrer from OckendOn, In Essex, drew
fearful picture Of tho priyations OF his class.
He had seen bis own father dividing q piece
of dry bread among his children, leaving
none for himself, aud his mother had wept
and wished her children in the grave rather
than see them dying Of slow starvation be-
fore her eyes. The average wages In his dis
trict were fifteen shlllngs when the sun
shone; when It rAiued there was nothing.
How could family be supported on this
sum after ~ year were spent In pur-
chasing tools He would tell them.
The father of the family started
from home nj half-past four In the
morning with bit Of dry bread aud cheese,
and when he came home at night his vile
had prepared for his supper what was called
"slnker," and sink Ii did, for 1t consisted
OF tho cOarsest -four. 1t was put In cold
water aud II soon sank TO the bottom. For
dellcACy they had, but rarely, ''plugger,"
consisting Of the worse refuse Of Irish pork.
Such were the lAbOrers' necessaries; such
were his luXurics. In simple but most torcl-
HE language tho speaker proceeded to de-
scribe the condition of the lAborer and ell
cited frequent cries Of "Shame!" and other
demonstrations Of sympathy from his audi
tory. In conclusion he gave his opinion that
the labOrers should have lSs. or 81 week.
Mr.. Smith, n farmer Of two hundred acres,
said that the farmers could vel afford to pay
better wages aud he recommended all agrl-
cultural laboreTs to Join the union. Mr.
Haynes, a Warwickshire labOTeT, who had
reared family Of eleven children, and who
had never had more wages than lis. week,
corroboTated the statements Of the previous
speaker. A resolution declaring that the
efforts the agricultural laborers OF this
country are making to better their condition
and prospects by means OF national union
are deserving OF the strongest sympathy aud
support Of the public at large" was carried
unanimously aud the proceedings termi-
mated.

ly annihilated time itself. Threading
oceans and seas, it has united continents
ana islands, established a common nation
atty upon the earth and bound its most
widely scattered populations into n uni
versal family. How compare the useful
career of Morse with hat of the Diamonds
crowned tenant OF the throne, or the mar
tial hero whose history is written in blood
and chaptercd with woes?
Prof. Morse was born at Charlestown,
Massachusetts,, in 1871, and consequently
was eightY-one years of age. Though a
graduate Of Yale College, after receiving
his diploma he yielded to the inclinations
Of his nature and turned his attention to
the Fine Arts. He executed several
paintings of exquisite excellence. But he
was born to a nobler and higher destiny
and what that was has already been told.
Art, Science and Philosophy will weep
over his Wondering clay, and perpetuate
the memory of his person in costly monu-
mcnts and statuary, whilst his fame with
the blessings OF his invention having en-
comprised the globe, will ever keep pace
with the rolling ages.

Rhode Island follows the suit of New
Hampshire and Connecticut, and alongside
with her neighbors takes a proud position
in the extending line of Republican tri-
umphs. The election was for a State
ticket and Legislature, and passed off with
an absence of undue excitement On the
Sd inst. Padelford, Republican, was
elected Governor by a plurality of 1857.
Stevens, the Republican candidate was de-
featcd $50. on account of a local disturb>
ance. The balance of the Republican
State ticket was chosen, and the Legisla-
ture is overwhelmingly Republican. The
canvass was made on national issues the
popularity. of the Administrations put to
the test, and the result is a sweeping vim
dication of the President. These cleo
tions indicate that the Cincinnati Conven-
ton of the "Soreheads" and malcontents
will be a failure, the magnitude of which
will be only equaled by its disgrace.

A MANUAL OF ENGLISH LITERATURE
A TEXT Book FOR SCHOOLS AND
COLLEGES by John S. Hart, LID.
pp CSC Messrs Eldredge & Brother,
Philadelphia.
We think teachers will find the work
in advance of any other textbook on the
subject, in the comprehensiveness of its
plan, the freshness of much of its mate
rails, the sound judgment shown in the
critical opinions, the clearness with which
the several topics are presented, and the
beauty as well as the practical convenience
of its mechanical arrangements.
This work is intended to answer two
purposes. In the first place, it is a text
book. in the second, a book of reference.
And it is happily arranged for both these
purposes. In this volume Prof. Hart has
embodied the matured fruits Of his lie
long studies in this department of let
ters. We have glanced hurriedly over
the book, but find it a charming book
for teachers. The reputation of the su-
thor is fully sustained. Er,

THE ENSU OF 1870.

On examining the census CT 1870 We
find some startling facts relating to The
educational interests of Tennessee. Ii
the first place, there are 3e4,66S person.
over ten years ofage who can neither read
nor write. Between the ages of 10 and
21, there are 1895 illiterate. o.
adults male and female, there are 225
713 illiterates. There are i n the State
68,S25 white woman and 63,24S colored
who are unable to read or write.
In the second place, an other lamenta.
BILE fact is deducible from the last census
During the decade the white population
has increased from S26, 722 to 93G,119
making an increase of IS per cent. Du
ring the same time.ssthe number of litter
ates has increased from lila to 106,-
53S making an increase of so per cent.
In other words, while the white popula-
ton, in last ten years has increased 13
per cent, illiteracy has increased so per
cent. This illiteracy to day is increasing
in greater ratio.
1t is not necessary to argue the causes
that may have impelled to this alarming
condition of our educational interests.
The fact that illiteracy is on the increase
in the State cannot be concealed. HUI
initiating as it may appear it is neverthe-
less true. The pulpit, the country pa
per, and every available means must be
used to create a public opinion in favor of
universal education. Something must
be done to check the tide of ignorance
that is flowing upon US. The State of
Tennessee must offer better facilities for the
education of her children, or crime and
Ignorance and poverty will be our fate.

DETECTION OF GREELEY.

Those, who regarded the hostility OF
Horace Greeley to President Grant and
his administration as a periodical aberra'
ton Of his eccentric nature, will be un
deceived by his late pronunciarnento in
favor of the Cincinnati Convention. To
defeat the decided preference of the Re-
publican party and humiliate the country
by the ascendency Of Democratic ideas,
Horace Greeley is willing to forego q life
long advocacy of Protection theories, and
c~ralesce with the Free-Traders he has so
soundly abused. How the Tribune phi
losophcr can reconcile his past history
and present course, according to the uni
versally recognized standard of honest con-
sistency and sincerity, we are at a loss to
imagine, and can explain his f%actious con-
duct upon no other ground than the sig
nal failure of his efforts to shape and con-
troll the Administration and consequently
a decp-seated personal iIl-feeling against
the Executive.
1t is idle and foolish to say that Greeley
has completely destroyed the magnetic in
fuencc and prestige of his name, and the
services of his pen and voice will have no
effect against the probabilities of Grants
success. He still has his friends. follow
ers, aye, even uorshippcrs by the thous-
and, yet the Republican party is not dis
organized, fatally weakened, nor discom-
flied by bis desertion. An increased ac-
tivity upon the part of Grant Republi-
cans will more than neutralize his mad and
unreasonable ,ppos ton. 1u view of
Greeley's eminent and invaluable services
in the formation and successful enterprises
Of the Republican party, we sincerely re-
greet that he has abandoned the bulwarks
and safeguards this party has thrown
around our restored country. and joined
the ranks of the mongrel horde who are
fighting without a principle. and only for
the fat places of power and Office. The
confirmed detection of Greeley, Schurz,
Sumner and others is no occasion for des-
pair, but should inspire US with a fresh
zeal and spur US to renewed activities.
The people demand harmonious action
and brave resolution Of the Philadelphia
Convention and they will do the rest of
the work at the ballot-box.

DEATH OF PROF. MORSE.

The extensive mortality of late among
great men is a frequent observation. The
remark is so common that We all verbally
believe we have few characters loft that will
compare with those of former ages, in
genius, culture, and in the number and va
riety of grand and useful achievements.
The passing away of Samuel Finley
Breese Morse, the illustrious electrician.
invests the assertion with more solemn
and serious truth than the death of any
single individual of the present
time. Cadmus arranged the simple con-
struction of the alphabet; Archemidcs
invented the lever; Euclid demonstrated
the truth of geometry Calico robbed the
stars Of their mysteries and discovered the
perpetual motion of the earth Pythagoras
gave us the gamut and the imperishable
wisdom of a true philosophy; Cicero and
Demosthenes furnished the models of the

tremendous forces to the uses of commerce,

Collecting the scattered and fragnentary
deductions of scientific experiment and
observation. and applying to them the
Jasson of his theories and the results of
his own study, he devised the Won

THE NEXT STEP.

The County Court in levying q Schoo,
tax did a noble act for which much praise
is due that body. There is something
else to be done besides levying the tax
The schools must be made as efficient as
possible under the circumstances. The
school officers, the teachers, and the
friends of education generally should GO
to work in earnest ard cndeavor to show
the people that good schools can be main
tanned.
The DIRECTORS to a school tax will have
nc argument if we are able to make the
schools efficient. This must be done. 1t
Will require work. 1t will take time to
bring order out of confusion, but it can
be done. Let US set about the work at
once. There arc several districts in the
county that have no Schools. These we
find, generally oppose the school law, or
rather argue against free schools.
A good school in a district is tho best
argument We can offer in favor Of educa-
ton. Let us endeavor to present this ar
gument to the people in every district in
the county. We have young men and
young women Too, who are to able teach on
schools. They need to be encouraged.
They ought to have good wages and then
the people may expect good work.
If We can succeed in building up our
own Schools. the cause of free Schools will
be strengthened in our Owl and the sur
rounding counties. Let us make an hon
est effort and we shall succeed as certain
ly as we try. Teachers, school officers,
and friends of education, make an eff
fort.
