A Washington correspondent of the

the FIRE of Russia and the United States,
and was in reality only a part of the
scheme of Bismarck to convulse Eu

tention of Bismarck to acquire a foot
hold in America, and with the assurance
that we will not permit the transfer of
colonial possessions in America from
one European nation to another, is pre-
pared to ally with the United States in
the event that Germany determines to
force her aspirations.

NaehVille banner, zoth.l
While candidates for the Legislature
are offering themselves over the State,
il is important that their constituents
should know their position on the sub
iect OF school legislation, The State
should take no steps backward in her
noble position on the subject OF Tree
schools. If any legislation be had on
the subject it should be to improve and
not to cripple the efficiency of the pres
ent law. Too much labor and too much
money have been spent in bringing Ten
nessee school matters 10 the condition
they are now in TO permit any tamper
ing with the law from hostile or so'called
economical motives. The past two
years experiment of the system proves
that there is vitality in it. They have
also shown TO friends of home education
where the weak spots are, and 1t would
be strange if some important amend
ments are not suggested before the next
Legislature.
It is to be hoped that the Legislature,
while yielding to the cry for economy
and reduced taxation, will at least not
cut away the county supervision. AL.
ready inconsiderate persons are advising
that step as an economical measure.
Such course would be penny wise
and pound foolish policy. The county
SUPPLEMENTARY is the right arm of the
system, and if that is repealed, it would
be shorn of its strength. In no way can
thirty.fve or forty thousand dollars Of
the school fund be more economically
spent than in paying fair salaries to the
most efficient school men in the counties
for their services as superintendent.
In these times of agitation, on other
subjects, school interests are liable to be
and hence our note Of warn
ing. We hope that educators will be
active during the coming month, and
stand by to protect our educational in
terests. Democratic administration OF
the State government hath no prouder
mark on its record than this feature of
its policy. Our civilization is not SO
perfect that we could now put premi-
um on ignorance.

A Boon for Ihe D,ing.

A correspondent Of the St. Louis Re-
publican says:
Overlooking the valley of Mexico
there is a beautiful town called San An
gel. Its location is elevated, the climate
is that of perpetual spring, the atmos-
phere pure aud balm, the scenery beau.
tiful as in the garden of the Peris No
lovelier scene was ever gazed upon by
mortals. The ancient inhabitants Of the
valley appreciate its. beauties and de-
lighted in its climate. Hither they we're
accustomed to resort long before Cortez
looked down upon the city of the Aztecs.
Recently this place has become ia
nous place ofresort for consumptive pa
tients. Some astonishing results have
followed residence here by patients
stricken by the destroyer of life, tuber-
culis pulmodalis. In one case a gentle
man in the last stages OF the disease was
sent hither by his physician. He ex-
peeted no favorable results, but thought
to crafty his patient he would send
him there to die. The patient went The
sulphurous water, the pure air and the
pleasant climate had a wonderful effect.
The patient began to improve, slowly at
first, but more rapidly as his residence
was prolonged. In a few months he
could not only walk without help, but
could run and leap like a young man.
In five months be left San Angel in TO-
bust health, and now physicians unite in
writing San Angel as their prescription
for consumptives. Hundreds Of persons
who have gone out, declining from the
ravages of the fatal disease, have re-
turned in a short time cured of their ills.
Sunny rooms are the thing. The TEN.
perature Of San Angel never exceeds
seventy degrees, and rarely descends be-
low sixty degrees. A great many sick
people now 20 to this fav0rite place.
San Angel is a beautiful village, and
irst-rate accommodations may be Sc
cured at reasonable rates. In years
many invalid Americans will resort 70
this place, where they can have all the
advantage Of climate, with all the com.
fort to be had in a populous city, whose
inhabitants are noted for hospitality and
rein ment

PlTTsBURG, September 26.-The firing
at Briar Hill mines, near McDonald's,
last night was done by an advance of
fifty strikers upon the pickets of one OF
the Italian mines. Three volleys were
fired without effect. The shooting was
irregularly returned by the Italians. No
one was injured so far as known at noon
to-day. Considerable excitement exists
at the different mines, but no further
demonstrations were made by either
party. A portion of the Italians went
to work this morning.

An ItaIIan incident.

New York Post Letter.l
A few evenings ago Mr.. Massari, a
deputy from one Of the southern provin-
ces, was returning home through the Via
Passini, when he was attacked and Sc
verely wounded. One of the blows just
escaped the carotid artery; another was
aimed at the breast, but Mr.. Massari
caught the arm Of his assailant and was
slightly wounded in the hand. A third
blow was in the side. A young jeweler' s
clerk came to the aid Of Mr.. Massari,
and between them they succeeded in dis
arming and securing the would-be assas-
sin. The latter is a man who was for
merly a jailer, but having received some
injury was lately pensioned of. His
pension not being sufficient for his needs,
the young man decided to come 10 Rome
and ask for a situation. Mr.. Massari
knew something Of him. and 10 Mr. Mas
sari he recommended himself" Mr..
Massari promised to try and find him
something to DO, .but was unsuccessful.
" lost patience, and again urged my
case upon Mr. Massari, who finally told
me that he had not been able to get me
q situation, and returned me my papers.
This was yesterday. / lost my head
then, aud you know what / did" Such
is the confession made by Marenda, the
young bandit who sought the life Of a
man because he had not found him the
means Of increasing his fortune.

Mother and Daughter in France.

A writer on French Girls says:
Many a girl in France has never slept
outside of her mothers chamber until
she leaves it to be married, and at the
worst, she is no farther off than the next
room, with the door open between. Such
unceasing neighborhood brings about an
action which may be not only intellec-
tual and moral, but possibly physical
and magnetic too. Hence it is that
French women exercise such singular
power over their girls, and that their
girfs so generally become an exact repro
duction of the mother under whose con-
slant eye they have grown to woman
hood. Between the transparent frank
ness Of the child's nature and indefati-
gable proximity Of the parent, we hear
of the regular transmission of those
types of character which seem to remain
UNMARRIED in so many French families of
the upper class, and which may almost
be said to belong to them as their names
do. The same qualities and the same
defects are reproduced among the old
nobility IRON generation to generation.
When a wife comes in from another
origin, she may try, perhaps, to intro
duce new elements; but they get effaced,
or at all events weakened by the old ira
ditions with which they have to contend;
so that the main features of the house
continue to be recognizable, the child
appropriates them and hands them of
again when she, in turn, becomes a
mother"

COTTON MANUFACTURER IN COUNCIL

sueb is the caption of morning dis
match from Boston. The substance IS
that the cotton spinners were in con-
vention yesterday at Boston. A
committee appointed previously reported
in favor of reducing the production of
the cotton mills one third, and to further
establish the relation between supply
and demand. The report says reduc'
ton is imperatively required, and they
recommend that the working time be re-
duced to four days of ten hours each per
week, or such other time as will reach
the same result in three months. The
report was accepted. Also proposi'
ton recommending the manufacturers
of New England to reduce the product
after October l, and inviting all the
manufacturers of New England to
meet again in Boston, Mass, on the
2sth of October to take such further
action as the state of business then may
require. The moneyed power OF New
England is the power behind the throne.
1t has shaped the political ideas OF the
day for many years and gives forth the
policy of parties. AbOlitionism was
born in New England, nurtured there
and transplanted along with Yankee
capital and muscle, to the West. New
England ideas not only brought on this
war, which incidentally abolished slavery,
but have kept the cotton States in the
condition of provinces since the war.
The fruit of such a policy begins to
ripen and will be most bitter to those
who nurtured the crop. The moneyed
aristocrats of New England are losing
their supremacy. Their policy dictated
to the government first ruined the South
next affected the West and now the re-
action is felt at home. When the pocket
nerve of the New England Yankee is
touched, his heart, likewise, IS reached,
for be carries his heart in his purse. One
section of the country cannot be held
down for years without becoming siekly
and the disease must ultimately spread
over the whole body. New England
begins to feel the symptoms Of decline
and a waning of power. This may be
bealtbful for the country at large, which
has heretofore been made tributary to
one little center. When all have an
equal chance, all viii prosper and not
till then.

The First Lover.

Jacob, the last of the Hebrew patri
arcbs, is one of the first lovers, in point
of time, to whom we are introduced.
Judged BY modern standard, his con-
duct in the ordinary affairs OF life, was
far from blameless. 1t was not quite
fraternal in him TO bay his older brother S
birihwright for me of postage, when
poor Esau was starving; nor was it alto
gether filial to obtain by fraud from his
aged aud bliHd father the blessing of the
FIRST born. His loyalty and devotion to
Rachel, however, compensate for many
defects, and we cannot withhold our sem
timental admiration from the lover who
served fourteen years to obtain the wife
of his choice and a comfortable indie
pendence. After serving seven years
for his true mistress, aud then having her
sister LEAH put off upon him by trick,
it is as creditable as it is singular that
be should have the amiabiity and pa
thence to repeat his service for the pos
session Of Rachel. In these days Jacob
would have acted very differently, fear
He would have regarded his first seven
years as eutirtly lost; would have quar-
relied with Leah, even procuring Ill
vorce il necessary, and angry with the
whole Laban family, would have left
Rachel, so far as he was concerned, to
pine in single blessedness.
Masculine constancy must have sadly
deteriorated since that good old time;
men now will hardly tarry seven weeks
for any one wife when so many other
wives may be had. Take pattern by
Jacob, We unstable lovers; learn to labor
and to wait
