"A well-infoTmed London correspondent writes
that the Shah of Persia is only gigantic adj
vertisement for Baron Reuter-, at whose in
stance he visits Europe according to this cor
respondent, Baron Reuter- obtained extraor-
binary concessions from the Shah last year,
which give him the power to establish a mo-
noPoly and jurisdiction in Persia greater than
ever the East India company established in
India On the 18th Of July, 1872, when the
famine was at its height, the Shah granted
Reuter- the privilege of building railroad be-
tween the Caspian sea and Persian gulf, and
the building OF this road will open a military
road for Russia to the Persian capital. Know
ing that Russia and England have long been
rivals in Persia, Reuter- was sharp enough to
understand that the possession of this road
would be of immense national value to either
country. England did not seem TO comprehend
the scheme for some time, but is now thor
ougliy alarmed, and when the officials heard
the Shah was coming, they thought it would be
a good time to get something out of him, to i'm
press him with the power of England, and to
persuade him that England was a better aliy
than Russia. Subsequently they found it was
Baron Reuter- who must be persuaded and i'm
pressed, and nos the Shah, and that he must he
paid an enormous price for his railroad fran
chise.

Inc temperance people undertook to bother
Ben Butler when he was making his Fourth of
July speech At birmingham by putting the
awkward question where he was in the present
campaign (for governor) on the temperance
question, Butler replied with his usual audacity
that "asking questions Of . Fourth of July
orator Is like vhIstliDg at funeral.- This
created laugh, but the temperance folks were
pertinacious, and for once the General was
obliged to beat . retreat, under cover Of q song
by the Hutchinson family. In the course OF his
address, however, Butler made pretty strong
point to the effect that Massachusetts, has now
more laws on her statute books in the way OF
restriction upon the sale Of liqusr, then can be
executed IL has been demonstrated in that
state as elsewhere that tits useless to make coer-
eve temperance laws which cannot be en-
forced because public opinion is against them.

The directors Of the Smithsonian Institution
have kept steadily In view the benevolent de-
sign OF Its founder, that IL should be an agency
for the "the increase and diffusion OF knowledge
among men, until now the Institution has q
q worldwide fame, and its various valuable
publications, relating to almost every subject Of
scientific knowledge, are eagerly sought for by
the Swans Of all nations. A very large share
of the credit for these contributions to science
is justly due to Prof. Joseph Henry, the secre-
tary and director, under whose immediate per-
sonal supervision these publications are made,
and who has general charge of the conduct of
the Instituu ton. His has been a labor of love-
however, and since his assumption of the i'm
portant duties Of his position he has worked
continuously In the interests of science. One
Of his latest labors in this behalf is the perfect
ing Of arrangements for the immediate trans
mission by telegraph between Europe and
America Of accounts of astronomical discoy
cries, which, for the purpose of CO Cooperative OBJ
servatiOn, require immediate announcement
Among such discoveries are those of planets
and comets, OF Of'bOdies which are generally so
faint as not TO be seen except through the tele-
scope; and which being in motion, their place
in the heavens must be made known to the dis
jant observer before they SO far change their
position as not to be readily found. Professor
Henry announces that through the kindness of
Cyrus W. Field and VIM. orion, of the Allan
tic Cable and Western Union Telegraph COM
pany, respectively, all such information will be
transmitted free, both to and from Europe and
from the Smithsonian to the different observa-
tories in the United States. Hereafter. there
fore, whenever any celestial phenomenon is
discovered in the United States the information
will be transmitted through the Smithsonian
Institution to Greenwich, Paris, Berlin, and
Vienna, and from those points to the different
minor ObservatOries throughout Europe. Any
original discoveries in Europe will be commu-
nicsted by cable direct to the Smithsonian,
which in turn will transmit the fact to obserya-
tories in the United States. By this means the
entire scientific world will be made aware of
new discoveries simultaneously, and by COM
parisOn of observations and deductions import
ant results in the direction of astronomical
knowledge may be obtained.

ThJ Public School.

Superintendent Crawford has is.
sued an order closing tho schools in
several townships. Again is heard
tho monotonous old cry Of ono money
in tho Treasury" Last session the
Legislature appropriated 100000
Tor the maintenance Of schools, bo-
sides making other provisions for
raising funds for tho same purpose
We ars surprised 70 hear that these
appropriations arc already nearly ex-
hausted.
Many schools have recently opened,
and now unless they arc supported by
private contributions, they must be
closed. This is scrious misfortune.
1t has tendency to form in children
desultory habits Of study, fatal TO n
proper training OF the mind.
The whole system Of free cduca.
sioh IN this State is faulty, not only
IN practice, but in theory. Wo believe
that tho school officials arc anxious to
perform their duty but they arc
prevented from doing so, partly from
tho novelty Of the system itself, and
partly from other causes. We pro.
pose in this article to touch upon the
