EDIIoH lRUE NoRIHERNER:
We find the articles on school manage
ment published in your paper quite interesting,
and should like to hear the subject more fully
discussed. In the mean time, we venture to
send few items Of general news.
Temperance prayer-meetings, ice-cream fes-
rivals. plc-nics, and croquet parties are the
leading features OF interest with us at present.
On Friday evening meeting was held for the
purpose of organizing Woman Suffrage Asso-
cation, and judging from the goodly number
present the people Of Decatur, especially the
ladies, intend to know what the right Of suf-
frage involves and to whom 1t belongs.
Those oil our young ladies' who have been
away at school are now with US, and we under
stand they maintained high and honorable posi-
tons in their classes and examinations.
Our MON School is closed for the summer.
! The Friday evening entertainments are missed
/ by soDe, but ten cents worth OF ics-cream and
an evening at home may be quite as beneficial.
Prof. Burked is making tour, and intends to
stop at Danville for water-cure treatment. We
hope to hear from him occasionally through the
Decatur Republican, for many OF our citizens
are extremely solcitous about him. II he
should receive an offer, while absent. OF $4,000
per annum, and accept it, we should experience
an irreparabe loss.
The young man who wrote the touching vale
dctory on huckle-berries, Is nov cerking in a
grocery store. We should not be surprised
after harvest to see hlm specializing in hay, for
he had ample opportunity in the High School
last term to learn all about the profit connected
with that business.
A member of the School Board and another
citizen of Decatur we're conversing few DAYS
since about the remonstrance mentioned IN a
letter published in your last issue, and the
former made free use OF obscene and indecent
language. We expect one having charge oil
the educational interests OF our town, to pre-
sent qualifications of different character from
these.
The articles published in your paper few
months since, concerning the Decatur Higt
School. were pronounced false by Mr.. Black
man. IL is the opinion of many intelligent
people. that when he becomes patron OF sait
school. and helps to support a; he will investi
gate more closely, aud possibly form more cor
rect conclusions. We trust he will not accuse
as, Hke,oise, OF classifying; for, even though
We had eudeayored to be strictly truthful, ant
such charges we're not credited, they would moi
sound well. &c az the least.

RICHARD HENRY SroDpAED writes as
follows, in his introduction to series
of papers begun in ScRIBNER's for July
and entitled, "Studies of some British
Authors :"
Mr. Frances Gallon, al Englishman of
letters, of scientific turn of mind, pub
lished three or four years since, curious
volume. the thesis of which is that genius
is hereditary. 1t is maintained with
consider bic ingenuity, but not, think,
with much success. There is world Of
difference between genius aud talent, but
the difference, which most men feel,
though few can define it, Mr. Cation
doesnot appear to perceive That talent
is sometimes hereditary he occasionally
proves-never, think, that genius is.
Such, at least is my impression, and |
propose to test its correctness in the
following paper, in which | shall endey.
or to trace the ancestry of some notable
English authors. As | have no theory
to prove, shall not attempt to settle
their Intellectual status. There can be
no dispute about genius or talent where
the greatest are concerned.

the stakeholder was found guilty and

Many Of your readers will remember the
account of these events, as they were
published in tho newspapers of that day,

G.. Whittier's touching poem, The

of these incidents, he says:
"why that brand is highest honor than its
Upon old ar mortal Indictments was prouder

And thy unborn generations, as they tread our
rocky strand
Shall tell with pride the story Of their fathers

After the events above related Mr..
Walker returned to his old home in
Massachusetts,, where he remained for
time. He then went to Sheboygan,
Wisconsin, living there a few years, and
from thence removed to his present
home in this country. He purchased
and settled on his little farm eight years
ago, and here he spends his time 10 the
cultivation of fruit, of which he has a
fine assortment, and from the sale of
which he derives his support.
The money collected for him at the
reunion, amounting to $50 10, was crate.
fully received and was quite acceptable,
as his only means Of livelihood is what
he obtains by the cultivation of his little
farm. II. Ii. Hour

Mr.. G. I Adams Jr. has written
brief reply to Mr.. McCrary's letter upon
the subject of railroad supervision by the
Government, and, as we have summarized
both the original Window letter of Mr..
Adams and Mr.. McCrary's elaborate an
swer, this last contribution to the discus
sion also calls for passing notice. in it
Mr.. Adams says I" that the difference be
tween him and the gentlemen with whom
he Is arguing lies in the fact that he does
not and they do believe that the difficult
ties and inequalities which are apparent
in the operation of our railroad system
are well understood, are easily formulate
ed, and can with little difficulty be re-
dressed through legislation He adds
that he himself at one time thought,
as they do now, that the remedy for
these existing evils was simple, and that
the potent arm of the law could readily
apply it but his experience as railroad
commissioner has convinced him that he
was utterly wrong. We quote from the
remainder of his letter, as follows:
81 know of no legislation worthy of
place on the statute book which is not
deduced from long and patient study of
individual facts; you cannot deal with
any great evil until you have carefully
investigated the phases through which it
makes itself manifest. | object to the
McCrary BILL that it formulates evils
before investigation, and establishes rem
edies in advance of experience. l would
suggest exactly the opposite road as the
shortest way to the desired end |
would in word, put the horse before
the cart Create, through commission,
your machinery for the investigation of
concrete cases, and from the study of
these cases assure yourself of the nature
of the difficulty, end then proceed to a
remedy. = = We both agree in
the fact of an existing difficulty You
say that its cause is apparent, its remedy
obvious, and you consequently at once
proceed to legisate it out of existence.
Our total abstinence friends entertain
the same views as 20 intemperance. And
for twenty years and more they have
been leg,slating drunkenness out of the
community. | cannot see that they made
any great degree of progress. 1t will
be the same as regards transportation.
We may bungle and wallow through
failures to result, or We may reach it
through investigation and the study of
cause and effect In matters of little
moment it is of trifling consequence
which course We pursue. The question
of transportation by rail is not one of
little moment
As we have already said, Mr.. Adams
seems to us to have pointed out the path
in which our legislators can most wisely
walk in dealing with this grave question
of governmental policy. Congress has
adjourned leaving the McCrary bill on
the senate calendar, and therefore moth
ing whatever will be done in the matter
at present. At the next session 10 the
coming winter we hope that that meas
ure will be taken up and passed with such
amendments as will limit the immediate
powers of the commission to investiga-
ton and advice-Dctroit Tribune.
