Mere Taxes.

Wcprcccivc form the newspaper report
Of the proceedings Of the Teachers AsSo-
citation AT Macon, tha. State Commissions
CT Orr recommends that county officials
shall be armed with the power of taxa
ton in their several counties, to help to
educate cvcrybodys children with the
tax payers money. When and where is
this rage for taxing to end? Federal
taxes, State taxes, county taxes, mupici-
pal taxes arc already hoapcd upon the
toiling tax payer until he is literally stag
gering under the multiplied cxactioms
and groaning for relief, yet here is
another taxing power to be set to work,
ifSchool Commissioner Orr's statesman
ship be taken as the guide.
Instead ofimposng more taxes We ara
i'll. favor of repeating this whole common
school humbug, dismiss!ng its officials,
returning .he money wasted rpon it into
the Treasury ard reducing the taxes to
the lowest possible rate We are not to
be awcd into acqnicsccncc i'll this attempt
to 1ankecize our system Of schools by
prevailing mania upon the subject. 1t
unsuited to our situation, and above all ,
it is unjust. Education is not Il work pro-
per TO be done by the Government. The
Government has no right to tax us to
educate another mans children TO
impose upon us the performance of
another mans duties Let it compel
every man to fulfil his own obligations.
Let it enforce the performance of moral
| duty where the moral Law attaches it. 1t
is in vain to say that there is no other
mode Of securing general education. No
honest and earnest effort TO devise Il Just
and efficient scheme suited to our situa-
ton has ever been made. IL seems to be
Imagined that everything done by the
Government must be effected through
the taxing power.
We would like to see an efficient system
of education established which shall be
suited to our situation and wants, supper
ted by legitimate means. We do not
believe there is q man in Georgia, able
to work, who cannot give his children II
good solid English education, if he really
wishes to do it. 1fhe is unwilling to do
it, it is grossly unjust to impose it upon
others.

is much more concerned with the case
/ against the latter than the former. Con-
viction, in the case of Huinbert, means
another deficiency levy and self interest
causes us to hope he will not be found
guilty. We confess our surprise that
the amount charged; on theState account,
against him.. only $4,000, ms bis def
cheney, ut the time of his arrest was COM
monty reported to be nearly three times
that amount. His acquittal in thepresent
case, however, will not affect his settle

besn made with the County Auditor. He
has declined to turn over his books, show
ing disbursements &C., to his successor,
stating they were his private property,
purchased with private funds which ap-
pears strange, as the Corresponding books
of some of his predecessors are on file in
the Office. AS regards the case Of Gov.
Moses, our impression is that the State
Treasurer will learn something about his
duty, in she matter of accepting paper /;
and dishonoring the same when presented.
Altogether, both cases (as they have been
served by order of the court) arc Of great
interest to the community, and we express
the hope again, that Exfreasurcr Hum
bert will be found Innocent, and our
County spared the infiiction of another

Promptly at 4 o'clock we're to be seen

two others, presiding with great compo-
sure over the ice cream in process Of
preparation, amid the clattcr ofplatcs
and the buzz and whir of the ireczers. The
entire hall was under the supervision of
two ladies more advanced in years and
experience; and by their oversight and
directions the afternoon and evening
passed off witt, great order. From carly
after the opening until 10 =. NJ, there
was continual come and so of!hc young

hold their regularity one would take them for
religious community rather than collection
of savage tribes; at the first sound of the
bell which called them to prayer or to Mass, to
instruction or to catechism, theysmight be seen
leaving every other work, even their meals,
and proceeding without delay to the place of
devotion. But it was especially during the
Forty Hours Alteration, which took place dur
ing the last three days of the mission, that
they gave the greatest proof of their love and
faith in the Most Holy Sacrament of the Altar.
One could see them on their knees for hours
together praying with fervor and devotion
really touching. Above all 1T was delightful
to see such among these good Indians as we're
preparing for Holy Communion with what
fidelity and regularity they visited our Blessed
Lord during those days of grace and benedic-
tion when He remained exposed on the altar
to receive their supplications and affections.

very useful in Europe. His friend actually
planted the tubers and they grew nicsly.
But when the seed balls were ripe, he took
these instead of the tubers, and fried them
in butter, and sprinkling sugar and ciuna-
mon over them, placed them before some
company as great rarity. or course these
balls tasted digustiugly, and the assembly
concluded that the fruit would not ripenin

and burned them. A gentlema an who CHANGED

potatoes as it lay in the ashes, when it
broke open, and he noticed that it was

it very palatable. The new vegetable was

History of the Potatoe.

1t seems scarcely credible that only 100
years have elapsed since the general intro
ductior of this we'll known and universally
cultivated esculeut into Europe. But such
is the fact, and 1t has been proposed to hold
a jubilee IN Germany in this y ar 1874, in
honor of the centennial of the potato.
When the Spauiards conquered Peru. in
the sixteenth century, they carried some
potatoes to Europe and sent them to the
Pope. The new plant was cultivated a
little in Spain, Italy, Burgundy, and the
Netherlands, and from a certain resem-
blance to the truffle, an esculent fungus
growing in the earth, the Italians gave
them the name of Tartuf, or Taratufoli,
whence the Germans derive their word
KartoffeI. The French called them e Ap
Piles of the EARTH" Pommes dc terre, while
in Austria and portions of Germany the
equivalent expression, Erdapfel, is used.
John Hawkins first introduced them into
England in 1865. Water Raleigh brought
them there 1884, and finally Admiral Drake
1886. The latter sent some to friend to
plant, with the remark that the fruit was

X. y,

The county os Waterford has had sin
guIar history. The city, for about two or
three centuries, was thoroughly Danish, of
which abundant vestiges yet remain. The
Ring Tower " on the Quay-still standing
is a fortress built by Reginald, King of
the Danes of Waterford; who, in 1896, was
killed by Sitric, King of the Danes of Dub
lin. 1t was here, at Bannow Quay, near
the mouth of the harbor, that the Anglo
Normans landed, in May, 1169, and here,
on the 18th of October, HI, at Crook,
Henry II. first set foot in Ireland, Raymond
lie eros and Strongbow having previously
made good their footing. Yet Danes and
Normans have passed away, and, ages
afterwards. of the 122, $40 inhabitants, we
find 1887, or more than 30 per cent,
speaking the native Irish-the self Same
tongue that the Morse pirates heard them
utter ten or eleven centuries ago when they
made their first predatory descent on the
coast. OF no other people in Europe, save
the allied Welsh, who speak the Cymric-
branch of the same Celtic-can such a
remarkable statement be made. In 1861,
the number of Irish speaking persons was
81 100, or more than d. per cent of the
then population and although the falling
off has been considerable, in the ten years,
it is uot-immigration,t the spread of edu-
cation, increased travelling accommodation,
and mortality of the aged considered-
more than should be expected. The barony
