The school enrolled 100 pupils with good
average attendance. Mr.. Cox is a capi>

year. Miss Bowers has given much at
tention to the subject of teaching and is
thoroughly posted in her department.
The school receives $4,000 from the
Peabody Fund. The school building i:
too small to accommodate the school and
to give the teachers a fair showing.
The school at this place was a failure.
Mr.. Basket lacks energy. His school
room was out of order. Everything wa,

returned so we can not report the en-.

beginners. While the spelling books is

ferably for children. They make better
advancement, it is moro satisfactory to

BUILDING SCHOOL HOUSES.

Good school houses are prime %necessi,
ties. The location is a matter of great
Importance. This duty falls upon the
District Directors. When a school house
is to be located the interest of the district
should DO carefully consulted. Every
man can not have the house located ct his
door, neither should any one expect such
a thing. A situation convenient and &C.
cesSible should be selected. A good
btls to the land in the name of the Dis
trict Directors is one of the first things
that should be secured.
The houses should be we'll constructed.
Convenience ard comfot; IRE necessities.
ltic not uncommon to find school houses
entirely devoid of convenience, comfort,
or taste. a school house should be
something more than a square boa. A
light, airy. and cheerful room adds much
to the interests of the school, to the health
of the pupils, and to the encouragement
of the teachets.
Some appropriate style of architecture
is very desirable, for the exterior of the
country school house ought to be attrac-
tire to the eye. We are preparing some
suggestions on this Subject which we hope
soon to be able to publish.

A Good Deed Brings SI,OOO,OOO
10 IA Florida Man.

We find the following in a Jacksonville
(Flar) paper of recent date:
More than twenty years ago Major
Waldo A. Blossom, who is now in Jacks
sonville, was a resident Of Washington.
While there, chance cast in his way q
young man, named Larimer, in whom lie
became deeply interested. Larimcr had
been led astray by the influence of wick>
ed ASSOCIATIONS, and was utterly diSsolute
and dissipated-to all appearance a NOR
al and physical wreck.
ltis more than probable that Major
Blossom discovered redeeming qualities
in the young man, Notwithstanding the
depths to which dissipation had brought
him, for the Good Samaritan" rescued
him from the gutter, gave him a pleasant
home, assisted hint by counsel and the
aid of fine social influences to make him
self a new man. After his reformation
was effected, the young man returned to
bis parents, who resided in Colorado, and
for a number Of years his generous bene-
factor heard nothing from him.
Iu December of last year, Major Bios
SONS attention was called to an adver>
tisement in a Boston paper over the sig.
nature of Larimer, irquiring the address
Of W. A. Blossom. Ho responded to
the inquiry, and soon received a letter
from the parents of his former protege,
informing him that their son in dying had
willed his property to aim in gratitude
for the kind deed of years agone.
The letter which fcellingly alluded to
this act, gave the sequel to the reformed
mans life. He applied himself vigorous
ly to Business, became an honorable mem>
Der OF society, and IN a few years amassed
a large fortune, all of which, valued al
81 ,OO0, 900, will fall into the possession
of Major Blossom ae*t June.
No act of genuine charity is ever lost.
Somewhere in the conservatory of good
deeds the plant will put forth its blos>
sens and shed its perfume, perhaps in
balm and brilliance of the Eternal Morn.

THE PROSPECTS.

AS sanguine as we have been for Gill
lcnwaters in this county we must confess
that we have been equally surprised to
loarn this week from the good citizens
from almost every neighborhood in the
county that his prospects are so aattering.
In many neighborhoods in the county he
will not loose a single vote. The few
gentlemen about this place that have
heretofore opposed him have learned this
week that they have but little chance to
secure u respectable minority for their
man, and learning these facts nave been
very quiet. Many colored citizens who
have always supported Mr.. Butler, are
nov opposing him ard ate working mans
fully in the cause for one who has never
deceived them. The democrats of the
county who have not had claims in Mr..
Buffers hands for collection favor Gillen-
waters, and many Of the good citizens Of
that party have assured US that they will
give him their support.

MEMBERS or, CONGRESS- AS
CLAIM AGENTS.

The newspapers devoted to Mr.. But
ler's interests in this District constantly
teen with eulogies on that gentleman's
efforts in Washington in the way of pros
ecuting claims against the Government,
and one would suppose from reading them
that every pensioner or ctHer claimant
was evcrlastingly indebted to Mr.. Butler
for the Successful prosecution of hisclaim.
Hwould seem that everything depended
upon his energy and skill in managing
the several Heads of Departments so
as to allow of the payment of de-
inands upon the Government.
Let us look at the subject for a mo-
tncnt and see if he is justly entitled to
the amount of credit he ~arrogates to him
self in this matter.
In the first place the question CT allow
ance or difalloSance Of any claim pre-.
sented to the Government must depend
entirely or the merits of the claim itself
OF. upon the proof filed in support of it.
No fraudulent CLAIM ear be successfully
prosecuted unless fraud is practiced upon
tho department i'll which it is paid by
fling false aiidayits in its support. On
the other hand, all honest claims are al
lowed on their merits alone. They need
nc bolstering in the Departments if they
are properly made ont and the necessary
btoof is furnished. This is the duty of
the claimant or his Attorney not that of
The member of Congress from the Dis
trict in which the claimant resides. He
i<not allowed to practice as a claim agent
in any of the Departments of the Govern
ment aud it is no part of his duties to
look after claims. His services, if rot
improperly employed, are absolutely un>
necessary. The law fixes the conditions
upon which claims are allowed and all the
claimant has to do is to comply with them
and his demands are cheerfuHy acccded to.
1t is as much the duty Of the head Of a
Department to allow an honest claim as it
is to reject q fraudulent on and the duty
of acting either favorably or unfavorably
devolves upon him alone after all tie
proof has been fled in accordance with the
instructions furnished to the claimant.
1t is the duty of the representative in
Congress to assist in making laws, not to
execute them and whenever he attempts to
or ~intcrrer es with the latter he steps out
side of his sphere Of duty and hinders
rather than actcss,erates the machinery of
Government.
These are the plain facts in Che case as
every reasonable man knows who has de-
voted a moments thought to the subject,
and the statement that a member of Con-
gtess spe nds his time in looking after pri-
yate clai ms only goes to show that he me-
elects the public interests in a correspond
ing degree.

WO MEN OF GENIUS.

Have we not seen women distinguished
in all the noblest arts? In statesman

mics the palm of excellence to yenobia ?
She was the queen of a State no larger
than one of u smallest provinces, and
yet she knew how to keep one of the
ablest and most powerful en.perors of

If you regard mathematics as the most
abstract anG the most difficult of sciences,
give honor then to Cornelia, the second
wife of Pompey, who won no less renown

from the modesty which made her esteem
