As all good boys and girls who
have studied their biographies know,
the ingenious State of Connecticut
has heretofore, since Roger Sher-
mans time, rejoiced in two separate
and distinct Capitols-the Legisla-
ture sitting in one of them one year
and the other the next, and the Gov
ernor and his suite trapsing about
in a peripatetical sort of fashion, be-
tween the two. This used to be re-
garded as giving the land of red
flannel sausages dignifed promo
ton over the more modest States of
the Union, this double breasted
Capitol business did but of late
years even the Oldest of The wooden
nutmeggers have grown tired of
having two places where the Law
could be launched upon their con,
traband ingenuities, SO they mus
tered a reform party and agreed to
decide by ballot which one of the
txo. Capitals, New Haven or Hart
ssord, should be considered, to the
complete exclusion of the other, the
seat of government. This is how it
came about on Monday that they
held an election there and by its
terms decided to dispense with the
luxury of New Haven and be con-
tent with Hartford-which latter
place is now solely the Capital.

4 LEAF FROM THE ENLIGHTENED
THEOLOGY OF The TINES.

When we come upon something
which illustrates that a broad, hu-
name, healthful spirit of charity
is succeeding to the old I'M
reason of the theologists, and
that that which is beautiful and
harmless gets vindicated in the
places where all that was not severe
and gloomy used to get anathema
tised, we can see where q beni6cent
and significant morality may come
to supersede character of religious
teachings which is SO fast losing its
power as that many good men not
religionists, have felt apprehensive
that with the decline of the influence
of the pulpit there might succeed a
jewellery Unpopular depravities whose
decentralization would more than
offset the narrowing bigotries Of
superseded clergy. Toward the lat
ter part of last month John Coon, a
noted billiard player of Chicago,
died and ct his funeral, the Rev.
II. W. Thomas of the First MethO
dist Church of that city preached
the funeral sermon. From his re-
marks as reported by the Chicago
Times We extract the following by
way of illustrating this hopeful ad-
vancement in the tone of popular
religious teachings:
Mr.. Coon was a representative man
a representative of that large phase of
life which We call amusements, and OF
the special department of billiards.
That amuSements have their place in
the economy of life no one can doubt.
Life is not all labor and rest. 1t wants
diversions as well. And that he who
helps in the best ways TO meet this COM
mon want of nature is doing q useful
service to mankind, 1 cannot doubt.
That the game of billiards. though l
know nothing personally, or from ex-
,erience about it, may be useful as an

temptation, and for bad
nds, is equally certain. Gambling in
billiards. or in any other way, is wrong,
hough l think it is less wrong to

Common schools in Columbia

The Legislature has ordained a sys
tenn of public schools in this State and
made provisions for it's perpetuity
Under the law, the County Court, last
Monday, very wisely elected a County
Superintendent good, faithful ano
iudicious man-and we presume that
the system will be puS in practical oper
alton, as soon as circumstances will ad-
init, through out the County. But the
object of this article is to call attention
to it's operation in Columbia particular
". and we trust that tue PdtreS UTbis
will at least consider the feasibility o.
our suggestions. Our object is TO get as
much of the fund, donated to the ctil
dren of our State, by the noble and gen
orous Peabody, as possI Die; and the con
sideratiOn OF few facts Will enable Us
to see how it may be done. But, first,
by the provisions of the act, which ha~
lust become a law, COlum bia will be
entitled to abOut 81 600. There are IT,
this district, by the last census, !, 465
children, between the ages OF SIX and
eighteen. OF these ! 900 live in the city,
and forty per cent, or 400 can attend
school. Now the 81. that comes from
the tax under the ACT will only employ
five teachers, at forty dollars month,
and these teachers Cannot instruct, IN
I'D uDgraded school, more than 400 pu
pills. or 80 to each teacher. This leaves
$50 or exactly G2IZ per cent OF the 400
unprOvided Tor, and who will have TO he
educated, if at all, privately. The Dot
cannot be schooled for less than tivv
thousand dollars annually, in private
sc ools. This added to the 3, 900 con-
sumed by the public schools will make
n grand Total cost OF 81 900 which II Will
require to educate the 400 children IL
Columbia. II suitable buildings can be
secured and the schools properly gra-
Sed, the same numb r can be educated
for s., 100; and this is the way we pro-
pose TO r4lse the money: The tax will
entiIle Columbia to - 600, and If we
have graded school with 300 regular
attendants, in the same bullding-i5 is
not certain that they must be in the
same building. if tLey are under one
Eystem-we will be entitled to $1,000
annually from the Peabody fund. This
is the only thing that will have to be
done TO secure the Peabody fund Will
the people of this place pay $1,000 tor
educating 400 children, when, by tao
and display of common sense they can
accomplish the same end, with -, 200;
and, 81 900, o. nearly One-thlrd OF this
amount, Will be donation? We do not
believe they will. If the schools are
graded and we secure the Peabody do
nation, the Corporation will not have to
pay more than $500 or a 81 COS to pay
rents and iucidentals.
The value of graded schools cannot be
Over-estiInaied. One man, in such
schoOl, can teach fifty pupils with more
ease, than he can twenty, in one That IS
not graded. We have taught in both
..isssIiied and unclassihed schools, and
Laenlv appreciate the difference be-
Tween he TWO, and the superior advan-
,r .es OF the former. y graded school
