Our Sunday readers should not fail, in
their perambulations through the city to-
day, to call at the store window Of P. l..
Nichols Seed Store, Is North Summer ST.,
ard see group of the most delicately tint
ed blooms in the way Of Cactus and Or
chids, rare and exceedingly fine plants.
The bloom of the Cactus measures ten in
ches in diamater, is of rich scarlet, tinged
with purple, while the color of the flower
of the Air Plant is soft blending of laven-
der, solferine and yellow. The mother
plant of the Epiphyllum, now in bloom, was
sold in this city some time since for one
hundred dollars.

The trial in the case Oh Dsn' ocoUee Ior
the killing of Ben. A. Parish, OF Edgeheld,
about two weeks ago, which sad event &C.
Cured at Bowling Green, mas been COZ
Guided, and the prisoner was pound over In
the sum of 81 500 tS appear for trial before
the Circuit Court of Warren county. The
outline of the facts as established on the
trial were as follows:
1t appears that in the afternoon proceed
ing the killing, Parrish was sling on the
back porch of the Ritter House at Inc ue
pot here, when Scobee approached, ana
some words passed between them, which
eventually led to fight, bat strange to say,
neither the prosecution, nor the defense,
succeeded in ascertaining anything definite
concerning this difficulty. A half hour
transpired between the time when Scobee
first spoke to Parish, as above indicated,
and a second fight, which occurred
between them, in front OF
Pennebaker's saloon, across from the
Ritter House, but no evieence could be, or
was introduced, to show where either of
the parties were during that half hour in
which the first fight took place. The Sec
ond fight occurred, it seems, in front OF
Pennebaker's, Scobee getting the worst of
the difficulty, though neither of the COM
battants were hurt; and after this rencOntre,
according to the accoun: brought out by
the prosecution, Scobee came up into the
city, purchased pistol, aud though, when
purchasing the weapon, he stated that he
was "going home to Kill a dog, he returned
to the depot, and, while en- route tbither,
said to two men: ''Ill fix him, (referring
to Parish) inside of twenty minutes" Pro-
ceediDg to the depot, he found Parish at
the Ritter House, and at his (Scobee's) in-
stance they made friends, Scobee taking a
drink of whisky and Parish cigar in
Newton's saloon. A few minutes there
after, friendly conversation having taken
place between them, they went over from
the hotel to the office of the bulletin board,
staid there few minutes, and then started
back together towards the Ritter House,
Scobee going somewhat in the advance OF
Parish from the office. 1t was on their re-
turn from the bulletin board, aud when
about twenty steps in front of the Ritter
House. that Scobee shot Parish in the back
of the head with pistol, the wound thus
inflicted terminating in the latter's death
about o'clock that night. In his dying
declaration, Parish stated that there was
no difficulty, nor quarrel between Scobee
and himself after they made friends, as
above related. Scobee, on the other hand,
was proved to have said that Parish drew
knife on him, while Parish denied having
drawn a knife, or having one about his per-
SOD, excepting a small p3cket-knlfe, which
was found closed, in his breaches pc 'ket,
while his dying declaration was being
made.

EDUCATION IN VIRGINIA AND
THE SOUTH.

It is with reasonable pride that Virgin.
ian may read the report of DR.. Sears, Sec
rotary Of the Peabody Fund, made to its
trustees, in New York, last week. In North
Carolina the condition Of the public schools
and education generally is far FROM salts
factory" and there is want of ''hearty CO.
operation on the part of Der public men. y
In South Carolina where the negroes are in
supreme control ''nothing was realized from
legislative appropriation of 100000 for
educational purposes" and ''most Of the
public schools are closed" 10 Florida
''three fourths of the youths of the State
are yet unreached by educational facilities. T"
The State superintendent. Of Alabama,
sends "despondent report i" in Mlssis
sippi while 125, 900 pupils attended 1850
common schools, there are 1A8 7S0 pupils
attending 400 private schools. Ia Texas
the state of affairs is reported as SO "unset.
tled," that DR.. Sears declined to make any
donation from the fund when applied to by
the agent Of that State. The numEer
Of public schools in Virginia to August,
1872, was 1905. School population, ALL
021 of persons between five and twenty oue
years Of age. Colors White, 247, 002 ;
colored, l64, 019. Of the Peabody fund
1928, 900 was appropriated to Virginia schools
during the past sch elastic year !; graded
schools received the largest share. The
total amount appropriated to schools of the
State was $38,200 It is matter of re-
joicing that the highest officer in Virgins,
fully sympathizes in considering the
necessity of educating the whole population.
The New York Tribune" speaking of the
address Of Gov Walker at the State Agri-
cultural College, lately says editorially
that "Gov. Walker sees, as all liberal men
do, that the moral and mental necessities of
oegro just now demand more attention than
his political needs The education of newly
nfrancbised colored men is among the para
mount requirements of times"
