LETTER FROM WEST VIRGINIA.

ED. Esprit During the month OF Aprll,
last past, l had the pleasure OF meeting
our old friend, Mr.. John B. .Noll, OF
Woodsfield, in attendance upon term of
the Circuit Court in Tyler County,W Va,
and while was very glad to see him, l
was impressed with the habit that friend
Noll has contracted of,speaking in whis.
per (p) Verify we are the creatures Of
habit. May long life and much OF it at
tend our friend!
1t may be that friends in the dark { y
hills of Monroe would naturally suppose
we were deficient in our system of gene
raj education, but as matter OF course
they would be mistaken in such suppo-
sition. Wehave very good free school
system, but, without the experience OBJ
tained by a longer trial, l do not like the
workings of the system here so well as
that in force in Ohio; still we have about
eighty schools in this county, think, ,aad
about equally divided, according to popu-
lation, between six districts, townships,
in each of which school is keptin opera
ton from three to ten months each year
and the salaries range from $40 to $50
per month, according to the size of the
school, and grade of certificate held by
tn e teacher.
Ourt achers' examinations are conduc
ted by three examiners, one Of whom i:
the County Superintendent.and the othel
TWO chosen, because of their supposed
fitness for the position, by the President
of the different Boards of Education, who
meet once year for that purpose.
think I like our system of appointing ex
aminers better than yours.
Imust stop for the present, as busines
presses; just out of one term of ou
County Court, and next Monday on
Circuit Court will be in session and it ba
for some time past and will still requir
almost perpetual labor to he ready, g.
} farewell till the rush is over, and the
again you may hear from GANo.

EFThe Freedmen's Savings Bank,
which was gotten up with the same loud
professions Of philanthropy that origi-
mated the Freedm ems Bureau, appears to
be turning out like the latter institution,
a gigantic swindle 1t has received,
chiefly in small sums from Negroes, s,over
four millions CT dollars, and refuses to
pay out, without two months notice, e,any
sums exceeding FIVE dollars. Much of
its money has been used by The Wash
ington ring and similar borrowers.
This philanthropy for Negroes seems
to have been nearly always so managed
as to run money into somebody's pock
cts. There is danger that the very name
of philanthropy will soon become sy-
nonym for sleeps clothing on wolf.

EE 1t really seems that some other.
wise sensible persons are seriously con-
sidering the subject of burning instead
of hurying dead bodies.
They may fnrni III reasons plenty as
blackberries, but people will not consent
to having the remains of their loved
ones broiled, baked and burned. The
feelings revolt at the idea.
Philosophers and savages may ap.
prove the practice, but ordinary human
nature never will.
The idle takers and writer's who are
agitating the subject would be as well
employed in looking after the future dis
position of their spirits.

Why Penknives p

Isn't it about time that people stopped
talking about Dc1tkniVcS? In my "pin-
ion pencil-kniveS would be- a far more
fitting term. Now. in old times, the
hnuSe-canarieS used to tell u> Jack-in-the
Pulpits how human folk wrote although
with the quill> of the grey-goo>r family,
and that ~ il was necessary accom-
pli>hment for ladies and gentlemen to
know how Ia make pen, everyone wlsh-
ed to have u very sharp knife orthe pur-
pose. Hence it was quite recommen-
dation to any knife To- call it penknlte.
But who Uses penknives now-a-dayS;
Very few, if the birds know anything
about it. Gold pens. steel pens,
and even lndia-rubber pens have
left the goose question nowhere.
a, far a. peopl" in generala are concerned;
and the few folks who Use 'quills' rarely
take So-callcd pcnknife TO them. They
use patent quill-cutterS-that is when
they don't buy the quill-pens ready made
Yes, patent quill-cutterS, that open
their brass mouths with click and bite
the quills into pens before YOU can say
Jack Robinson.
So, my boys and girls, lets put an end
to this small sham, and abolish the word
penknife. Call the useful article with
which YOU do 50 much damage pocket
knife. a mrniture->cratcher, chestnut
peeler, a chip-maker, anything but what
it isn.t-a penknite.-From "Jdch-'n-the-
Pdpu," ST Nicholas for A"g"st.

Internal Machine.

PHILADELPHIA, July 20.--On Satur-
dav information WAS received by the
detective force that Mrs. ChaS. y. Henry,
wife of carpet desler, corner Second
and South streets, received an Internal
machine containing three pounds Of pow
der. 4 note accompanied the box,
stating it contained some newly pat
ented article. The circumstances
being deemed suspicious, the box
was very carefully opened, without
accident, the entire. family standing
around it at the time. The box, whic h
WAS one foot long and eight inches wide,
WAS filled with powder, on the top Of
which run through holes in Il strip
where about fifty matches with heads ar
ranged to almost touch sliding lid
which was covered with sand paper. If
the box had not been cautiouSly ly opened,
an explosion would have occurred, injur-
ing and probably causing the death of
the entire family.
