The curious little Republic Of San Ma
TinO IS just now attracting some stten-
ton IN Europe. 1t contains about
twenty-five square miles, and is situa-
ted in Italy, net far from the city Of Ri
mini. 1t is now a community Of about
eight thousand Inhabitants, and its ex-
istence dates back TO the year I1S3, when
q hermit named NaTinus built him a
hut on top Of the hin upon which il IL
located. There have been attempts to
annex it, and it would not be surprising
II the italian policy Of Capitalization
should now seek to absorb it. 1t is not
probable that any such attempts would
succeed, If made, as the weakness of
this Republic would be its best protec-
ton, and as the people would Oppose
any annexation. Iney once had the

EnUCATIRN.

Whether deliberate, intentional, I'M
mitigated Misrepresentation may be re-
lied on to achieve its ends, is a problem
which the Nashville Banner seems de-
termined to press TO a solution. In its
issue Of Thursday last it says:
The Memphis APPEAL is now seeking
TO advertise itself by flying in the face
Of the almost universal sentiment Of the
press OF the State in favor Of free schools
and liberal and sufficientschoOl system.
The APPEAL is suddenly seized with a
heart-rending sympathy for the over
taxed people, which is not appreciated
by the people themselves, whose chill
dren are growing up in Ignorance, or
else in its communicating atmosphere.
The APPEAL pretends TO yield to the
popular demand for a school system, 50
far as TO be in favor Of one that can be
established without means. AT all
events, 1t indirectly, yet impotently and
vainly, seeks to kin the educational
movement by raising q demagogical
alarm about the State debt and the peo-
Plies poverty, while manifesting, SEEM
ingly, greater concern and a deeper in
terest in the question of the immediate
future of State bonds and the well-being
Of wealthy bOndhOlders.
The Banner must have used hydraulic
pressure IN eoncosting the above tissue Of
misrepresentation, or it could not have
compressed 50 much Hntruth in 50 small
a space. The APPEAL has said nothing
about Estate bondsi' or "wealthy bond
holders" But because we dared to sug-
gest the propriety Of the Legislatures
adopting such school system Is q tax
ridden people were able to pay, ergo, we

APrArN ISSUE OF rACr.

1t is impossible TO induce the AuG-
l0ache TO face plain question of fact.
On Thursday morning ii accused the
APPEAL Of favoring both Bowen and
Dorsey for United States Senator for
Arkansas, in order that it might have
an opportunity for rehashing its stale
blather about Inconsistency" On Fri
day morning the APPEAL exposed the
falsehoOd of the AUdldnche; showed that
it had favored neither Bowen norDorsey.
1t was supposed that common decency
and shame would induce the Ayalanche
to retract its falsehood. But it neither
retracts nor attempts TO prove its asser-
ton. 1t says:
An editorial in the APPEAL of the
ninth, on the deeencies and indecencies
of journalism, and another in yester-
days issue of the same paper, would
look beautiful if ranged in parallel col
umns, just to illustrate the difference be.
tween precept and practice.
This is the AUdldnche's response to
the request We made, that it would
either correct its statement, or substan-
tate it. The question is not as to "the
difference between the preeept and prac-
ice" Of the APPEAL; but did the AUd-
lanche tell the truth when it asserted
that the APPEAL had favored both
Bowen and Dorsey? Unless the Aua-
Ionche retracts its charge or proves it,
twill be guilty ola baseness of which no
honorable journalist could be capable,
and TO which no man who ever had the
instincts Of a gentleman could sink. Can
a good citizen or an honest man hesitate
as to hisduty undersuch circumstances?
We have stated already in the most en-
phatic manner, that the APPEAL has
not favored either Bowen or Dorsey for
Arkansas United States Senator. The
Avalanche has declared that it has ia
vOred both, and made the charge
the basis for revamping the same old
about inconsistency. We de
manded the proof, and in reply we have
the above. This equivocation and
evasion win not do. If the avalanche
neither retracts nor proves its assertion,
it will have shown itself so regardless of
its word, and so apt in the arts of
that it will no longer
be entitled to notice or respect. 1t may
orate about smallpox to its hearts con-
-ent; it may ransaek our columns with
he vain hope OF finding something to
iamn and that viii injure; it may empty
is filth upon Us every day, and it may
axe advantage Of typographical errors,
out we cannot permit it to fabricate
charges for the purpose of rehashing its
)alderdash about inconsistency.

OAKEs AAEs has furnished a list OF
Congressman to whom he gave or sold
shares of Credit Mobilier stock. His
testimony, with that which has gone
before, has fixed the direct or indirect
ownership or interest in the Credit Mo
bilier upon nearly all whose names APP
peared in the list published by Colonel
H. S. McComb. In most instances the
stock was held in the name of Cakes
Ames. Some paid par for it, and some
paid nothing Some held stock to cash,
and others gave it up when they ascer-
tanned through Jere Black, counsel for
McComb in the Philadelphia suit, that
their names had come out there before
the commissioner. There was great in
terest manifested Friday on all sides TO
hear the personal explanation of
James Brooks, and nearly the whole
House crowded around him. Jere Black,
McComb, Oliver, Ames and Cushing,
counsel Of Cakes, and Messrs. Ames,
John B. Alley and j. NJ. S. Williams,
Of the Union Pacific road, were all on
the floor. Mr.. Brooks was heard atten-
lively, but the almost universal verdict
is that the explanation only served to
further eomplieate the whole case. Mr..
Woods resolution to throw the investi-
cation open TO the public was presented
by request Of members of the commit
tee, and would have passed but for the
objection of Mr.. Perez, Of Mississippi,
who seemed to have no other motive than
to make himself conspicuous.

arHE A1ERuOAN CoNFLICr..

The american Conflict, written by
Horace Greeley, was published by D. ID
Case & Co., who were compelled, 4. -
the first volumewas in type, to keep press
es running night and day to supply the
demand of agents. No book previously
published had met with such a rapid
sale, excepting, perhaps, Mrs. Stoves
famous novel. Nearly, if not quite, two
hundred and fifty thousand copies of the
first volume were disposed Of, and the
sale was still going on successfully when
the second volume appeared. The pub
fishers were justified in supposing that
the second would have as extensive a
sale as the first volume, as every one
who had purchased the book for its his
torical value would surely get the com
plete thing. When the sale of the sec
ond volume had reached some sixty or
seventy thousand copies, and lightning
presses were rushing it off by hundreds
every day to meet the urgent call of
agents in the field, Mr.. Greeley signed
the bail-bond of jeff. Davis, and from
that time the sale virtually ceased.
That stroke of his pen cut Off thousands
of dollars from the profits Of the publish
ers, who had depended on the sale Of the
AA5b AD1uu4C W NQhNA PCAAaNlf Ne--N -
pected their reward out of the sale of the
second, and took also good deal OF
money out of Mr.. Greeley's pocket. In
letter of Mr.. Greeley's, made public
since his death, he alluded to two nota-
bic things in his life, first, that he threw
away the United States Senatorship
when he published an article in the 7ri-
blae, following close upon the end Of
the war, in favor of universal amnesty,
and, second, threw away fortune when
he signed the bond for the release of
Jefferson Davis. Undoubtedly, the last
has reference 70 the sale of
The american Conflict. And that he
did sacrifice a fortune, or a good part of
one, is evident from the fact that, so far
as the sale extended, he was paid by the
publishers fifty thousand dollars. Out
of this, probably, it did not cost him
over five thousand dollars for the work
of assistants, so that he cleared hand
some sum, but it is supposed that he
saved only very little Of it, as he was
giving, giving, giying--and
very many times to people who imposed
upon his eredHlity. The book now is
sold to some extent, netting to Mr.. Gree
ley before he died only about one hun
bred and seventy-five dollars a year,
however. It never recovered the fatal
blow ii got when the autograph of the
great philosopher helped to release the
sutocrat of the great rebellion.

John" IN VIRGINIA.

The last time / saw Ben. McCulloch,
the great Texas Ranger, was in Virginia.
We were on the road that runs from
Aqua Creek to Richmond. 1t was in
March, 1860. He was in company with
DIR. Carter, who was TO deliver a seces-
sion speech that night in the African
church at Richmond Doctor Carter
had lady with him, and I heard him
tell her that be had many time killed
a deer in the morning, and worn its
hide for a dress the same day. Ben.
was shot at the battle of Pea Ridge.
The first time I ever saw Roger A.
Pryor was one Saturday in March, 1861,
when be addressed a secession meeting
at Danville, Virginia. All / heard him
say was, " | am for secession, immediate
and eternal" Just then there was q
row, and l left. l went down to the
tavern, and had sat there but a few
moments when q friend, who represent
ed big scale house on Broadway, New
York, came rushing up to me, and We
went under the railroad bridge that
crosses the Dan river, and that fellow
laughed so long and loud that was
afraid we'd get m0bbed. Says I, "What
in thunder ails you?"
Then he told me. They had g eolOred
band up at the meeting of about four
instruments, and just as Pryor got go
ing, that cuss went up and gave the
leader of the band a dollar to play
Yankee Doodle. They commenced
to play it, hence the row. Only think
of Yankee Doodle at u Secesh meet
ing. If these darkies had ever gone
back on us, the mildest treatment we
could have expected would have been a
present of two waterproof OyercOats.
l got into another episode last week.
l was sitting subdued and quiet in a
hOrse-car. / wasn't aware that 1 was
occupying more space than was desira-
bic. The conductor came along. He
had a tin plate, stolen off some dog
collar, hitched to his hat, and says be,
4" Make a little room, sir"
Says 1, "YOu want me to make little
room, do you?n
SAYS he, Yes, I dO.n
SaysI l, "What kind Of a room do you
want, a bathroom or q billiard-rOom?
Says he, Sir, there is room for eleven
on this seat
Says 1, Sir, there isn't"
Says he, There is eleven on the other
side.H
Says I; 81 see it, and there is ten on
this side now, and you tell me there is
room for eleven more
Says he, " l mean there is room for
one mOre.n
Says l, "Well, why in thunder didn't
you say 50? one isn't eleven.u
He smiled with such an expression of
entire woe that the driver shouted
''whoan to his horses.
l had just one more controversy in
that car. It was with man who looked
as if he had swallowed an entire Sunday
school class, and the straw hat Of the
last scholar had stuck in his mouth.
His cheeks pulled out so that if q pin
had been stuck through them the hole
would have whist ed. This man insists
that there was always three feet to q |
yard. told him 60 had seen a yard (
with over a hundred feet to it.n

MEASURING THE BABY.

We measured the riotOus baby
Against the cottage wall,
A lily grew at the threshold,
And the boy was just as tall
A royal tiger lily,
With spots Of purple and gold,
And q heart ike Il jeweled chaiice,
The fragrant dew TO hold.
Without the blue birds whistled
High up in the old r0of-trees,
And to and fro at the window
The red rose rocked her bees;
And the wee pink fists Of the baby
Were never moment still,
Snatching at shine and shadow
That danced on the lattice still!
His eyes We're wide as bluebells-
His mouth like a flower unblown-
Two little bare feet, like funny white mice
Peeped out from the snowy gown;
And we thought, with thrill Oi rapture,
That vet had a touch of pain,
When June rolls around with her roses,
Wen measure the boy again.
All me In a darkened chamber,
With the sunshine shut away,
Through tears that fell like a bitter rain,
We measured the boy to-day;
And the little bare feet were dimpled,
And sweet as a budding rose,
Lay side by side tOgethe
In the hush Of a long repOSe..
Up from the dainty inflow,
White as the risen dawn,
The fair little face lay smiling,
With the light of heaven thereon
And the dear little hands, like rose leaves
Dropped from a rose, lay stiil-
Never to catch at the sunshine
That crept TO the shrouded sill!
We measured the sleeping baby
With ribbons white as snow,
For the shining rosewood caskeJ
That waited him below:
And out of the darkened chamber
We went with a childish moan
To the hight of the sinless angels
Our little one had grown!
