An Advanced Educator.

Not long ago New York publishing house,
being in want of a New England agent enter
ed into correspondence with several applicants
The letters of one person-who was and still is,
Superintendent of Schools in an Eastern city
conveyed a favorable impression of the writer,
and at the request of the firm he went to New
York, and had an interview with the publish
ers. The favorable impressions were confirmed
by the applicants appearance and demeanor,
and the firm thought they had found the right
man. But, taught by experience, they did not
make him direct offer. but said that they
would be glad to receive a proposition fir m
him at his leisure. On his departure, he was
requested to state the amount of the expenses
OF his Journey, and the sum named, $50 was
handed to him by the liberal publishers. Two
or three days later, the representative of anoth-
ct New York house, also in want of a New
England agent, happened to be in the store The
common need of the two firms was talked
about, and e caller inquired if they-the firm
first mentioned-had any correspondence with
Mr.. EYES," was the answer; she had
come to New York at our request." The rep
resentative remarked that Mr-had also in
tervewed his house, with view to obtaining its
New England agency. "Why," said his colo
cutor, astonished, 1--WE paid him $50 for the ex.
penses of his tripr' $50 did we," answered
the other. In this manner the enterprising
Yankee accomplished a visit to New York and
got paid for his time at the rate of about $40
per day. He evidently possesses marked quail
fcations for educating young men for Congress,

The House spent its spare time last week
discussing the salary bill and really made
progress in the direction of repeating the pres
ent law. Mr.. Hale's bill did not meet the
views of the House, part wishing to make
Its provisions more sweeping, and another
part desiring to pass compromise measure
putting the salary at $4,000 and actual travel
ling expenses. The adoption of Mr.. Orth's
order directing the committee to report bill
repeating the present law, and determine the
compensation of members on the basis of the
average salary, mileage etc. except Thanking,
OF the 41st Congress, indicates that the
House will adopt measure of that charac-
ter This also reduces the salaries of fine cab
met and many other other officers. The de-
bate the past week shows that the leading
Republicans are in earnest to conform to the
wishes of the people on this subject. On the
other hand, our readers must have noticed
that nearly every leading Democrat who has
spoken on the question, except Messrs. Cox,
Holman and Potter have opposed repeal
Conspicuous among these, are Messrs Ran
dali of Pa, Lamison of Ohio, Kendall of Ne
vada, Grassland of KY, Conngo of Mo-, and
Stephens of Georgia. The latter gentlemar's
declarations in favor of an increase of Con-
gressional salaries to $4,000 and that in the
better days of the Republic its great men took
back pay, will comfort our Democratic friends.

Current Notes.

The Pittsburg Commercial declars that Cos
sidcation of the brain is what ails the Demo-
cratic party" upon which the Brooklyn ar
gus remarks that that is probably the testi-
mony of a convalescent.
The Chicago Times boasts of the growth of
that city in manufacturing industry, the capt.
tai in which increased, according to its state
ment, 7O7 per cent. from 1860 to 1870, against
PIP per cent, in New York and 23S per cent
in Philadelphia, The manufacturing pro-
ducts of the Garden City are estimated at
about $13O, 000, 900; and, if this account may
be credited, they are the best in the United
States,
The so-called workingmen of the city, who
met at Cooper Institute last night, made a
very bungling job of their demonstrations.
1t is not wisdom in the honest laborer or me-
chanic, who lives by the employment afford
ed him by capital, to make absurd demands,
which, if complied with, by running capital,
would ruin labor also. The men who in
scribe on their banners the destructive mot
toes of the Commune are not ''workingmen'
but lOafers, who live in idleness on the hard
earned money of the true "workingman."

LAST Thursday evening, workingmen's
meetings we're held in New York and Bost on
and their resolutions would lead us to believe
that there was a concert of action between
them. The New York meeting was of so hi
arious a character that one would never i'm
agine that the participants or their families
were stared in the face by gaunt famine. No
one believes that such is the case. The lead
ers in these meetings are for the most part
foreigners who have left their country for
their country's good; idle, mischief makers
and cowardly vagabonds who would delight
in riot and pillage if they could induce others
to engage in it. They are the leaders of
strikes and the men who in prosperous times
paralyze industry by impossible demands,
while in seasons of financial embarrassment
they appear with wild schemes and class ap-
peals that in other countries, with less intelli-
gent laboring classes, would lead to serious
consequences. These communists would be
vagabonds if the accumulated wealth of the
country should be divided per capita every
five years. In the New York meeting, the
papers note the absence of Irishmen, the
speakers and leaders being principally French,
Germans and English, with few native
born citizens. The proceedings were of so
doubtful character that George Francis
Train, who was present, refused to speak.
Fortunately the meeting and its wild decla-
rations find no welcome with the great mass
of laboring men of the country.

PRESIDENT GRANT EULoGlZED.

OF PRESIDENT GRANT EULoGlzED.
Mr.. Beck, prominent Democrat, paid a high
compliment to the Administration. He COM
meDded the President for his wise and moder-
ate course in the Virginius matter, and stated
that while it had beenIpossible for Gen. Grant to
have plunged the nation in war and aggra ndize
himself. he pursued noble, conservative
course. The Administration, indeed, received
quite as much commentator from the Demo-
cratic as from the Republican side.
SECRETARY RICHARDSON ASKS FOR MORE
MONEY.
Mr.. Richardson, in conversation, this even
ing, said that his letter was prepared in ac-
cordance with the statement made in his an
nual report that, unless business revived and
receipts ceased falling off, there would be a
need of providing increased revenue. Finding
that receipts continue to fall off, he had felt it
his duty to make the suggestions contained in
his letter. The Commissioner of Internal Rev
enue was to be credited for the schedule, as
containing those items on which taxes can be
most readily raised in an emergency, The old
duties on tea and coffee will produce $4,000, 0OO
on the proposed internal taxes over $32 900, 900,
as follows: ten cents on whiskey, $6,OO0,OO0;
four cents on tobacco, 50. OOO, OO0 manufactur-
ing gas, ", 100000; gross receipts on railroad
passengers and freight, street cars. express
insurance and telegraph companies, $2,650,0 600.
Schedule Il, revised stamps on legal papers, etc,
will bring $10,0O0,000. The total asked is $52-
100000. Mr. Richardson also stated that about
$17 1000, 600 had been drawn from the $44, 0O0,-
900 reserve, and that he should draw another
million tomorrow, In answer to question as
to the amount of deficiencies, he said no NOR
tai man could tell; thai it depended entirely on
the business condition of the country; that it is
too early to make a definite estimate; that he
could only say he wanted more money, and
that the revenue continues to fail off. The
Ways and Means committee will make their
annual visit to the Secretary tomorrow, and
formally discuss the subject. Judge Kelley is
pronounced in hostility to more taxation, and
will lead in the House against it, opposing even
any further tariff increase.

THE STATE AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE,
MEETING OF TRUsTEEs.-The annual meeting
of the Trustees of the State Agricultural Col
lege was held in Skowhegan on Thursday af-
ternoon and evening, at the house of Hon. Alb
ner Coburn, the President of the board All
the Trustees were present with the exception
Of one, as follows: Abner Coburn of Skowhe-
gan, Samuel F. Perey of Naples, s. F. Dixie of
Bath, Lyndon Oak of Garland, VIM. p. Win
gate of Bangor, J. C. Madigan of Houlton, and
s. L. Boardman of Augusta. T. S. Lang was
absent.
The reports of the different departments of the
Faculty were presented by President Allen,
who was present. The reports of the Farm
Superintendent, J. r. Harrington, and of the
Treasurer, Isaiah Stetson, were also presented.
That of the Executive Committee shows what
has been done in the matter of improving build
ings the past year. The report Of the Trustees,
to be presented during the legislature was per-
fected during the meeting. This embraces in
detail the reports of the different departments
of the college, and gives detailed account of
the years operations. 1t calls attention to the
pressing needs of the institution.
There are now 100 student at the institution.
On account of this and the small number of in
structors, some of the Professors are obliged to
do double duty. For instance there has been
vacancy in the chair of chemistry during one
term-the place being supplied by one of the
Professors, whose time can scarcely be spared
from his special duties. One reason for this is
that the Congressional endowment is smaller
than desirable, and can only be used for pur-
poses of instruction.
The Trustees have called to the chair of
Chemistry, Prof. Oberton, a graduate of Cor
nell University, who has very high testimonials
of eminent qualifications for the position All
the Professorships are now full.
There have been larger number of donations
than ever before to the library, museum, and
farm; large number of agricultural imple-
ments of the most approved patterns have been
given. Among the items, greatly appreciated,
is the gift of $50 volumes for the library from
q Hallowell lady. The library has outgrown
its present circumscribed quarters, and some
thing has got to be done speedily to provide en-
larged accommodations. President Allen is
very popular with the students. all the Profess
sors are giving the utmost satisfaction, and the
college seems to have growing hold upon the
people
