A Paving Joke.

Mr. Charles Heber Clark, better known
as Max Adeler, of the Philadelphia Eceniny
Bulletin, is the author Of a comical work
entitled "Out Of the Hurly-Burly." On
the appearance Of his book Max was seized
with desire to perpetrate practical JOKE.
and accordingly sent to each Of the Eu.
ropean rulers a complimentary copy, to-
gether with note expressing wishes for
the good health, etc, of the recipient. 1t
is hardly probable that he expected to hear
from the eminent personages upon whom
he thus bestowed his favors, but it has
proved that in casting his bread THAT is his
book upon the waters he has found it after
SO many days. In other words, he has
received acknowledgements from the Kings
Of Italy, Belgium, and Bavaria. the Crown
Prince of Germany, and the Emperor of
austria, the latter OF whom sent him the
Golden Motto medal. Mr.. Clark has GER
tainly every reason to be satisfied with the
result of his Joke

The Need of Repose.

''Repose," says writer, sis the secret OF
power in persons, pictures, statues, archi.
lecture, books and nature, as if it were a
means Of retaining as well as disclosing
lie, and health demands frequent pausing
to restore the balance of the system and
keep up perfect calculations. The night,
If spent in healthy sleep after proper even
ing hours, reduces the worlds chaos and
we are new every morning. Who does not
know the magic of a brief pause in the
midst of the worst confusion A calm of
five minutes will invite back our vagrant
ideas and powers. So the home should be
like hush and lullaby in this headlong,
whirling, noisy, furious and distracted
world of the nineteenth century, nook
apart from the thoroughfare-a grot or
bower under the sky, where the beautiful
Spirits Of the air will hover and dance. Its
atmosphere should be little oriental and
cheering, as if exhaled from peoples and
balsams."

The Tideless Lakes.

=, Nearly every season paragraph goes
the round of the newspapers asserting that
the movements of tide have been noticed
IN the great lakes. 1t is we'll known, how
ever, that such is not the case. In order to
es.aolish the fact, however, one way or the
other, one of the ablest officers connected
WIN the United States lake survey at
Oetrolt, michigan, for several seasons carried
OUT series of observations at several
points upon the lakes, the effect of which
would be to show that there was tide,
providing such flow of waters existed.
The result, however, was established with
out doubt that no tide was peroeptible at
any OF the points or II SO not to exceed one
or two inches, which was practically no tide
at all

1t is a pity that the class Of agitators al
the South who misname themselves Con
servatives' continue to put obstacles IN the
way OF the thorough and speedy education
of the masses, both white and black. Igpo
rance is the fruitful parent of disorder and
oppression. Only an educated people can
be free. 1t is an easy matter to lead lgnO.
rant voters to their own destruction and
the ruin Of their neighbOrs. Crafty dema.
gogues at the South have found this out
long ago, taking q leaf from past experience
at the North. If carpet-baggers have taken
advantage of the negroes, fiery demagogues
among the Democracy have been no whit
slower to intiame their passions and preju-
dices in the hope OF drawing the black
men into open hostilities. In that case
the weaker party would be driven
of which the agitators are well aware.
The remedy for this state OF affairs
lies primarily in education. According to
the census of 1870 there were 4,i3S, 206
persons in the United States who could not
read, of whom $3.50, 424 we're in the sixteen
former slave States, that have population
of 1887, GA. This illiteracy is not confined
to the negroes exclusively. Arkansas has
population of 362, lis whites, and 64,095 of
them, over ten years of age, can not write.
1t has IL, 356 colOred Inhabitants, AZ ,699 of
population of 52l 1854, and there are 22,059
whites over ten years of age who can not
write. OF it's 445,608 negroes, 257.9 $40 are
uneducated. On the other hand, Kansas,
with population about equal to that of
Arkansas, has only 1878 inhabitants who
can not read, and in the other States of the
West the same comparative proportion
holds true. When the North is taken
into the account, it is found that the
proportion Of illiterate whites at the South,
compared with the North. is four to one.
Here, then, is the cause of the social and
political chaos IN the Southern States. The
masses are ignorant, and dependent for
their knowledge Of events on the oral com
municatiOns OF their leaders. This is as
true of uneducated white men as of the
black. The remedy is a system of free
education, which, for reasons best known
to themselves, the Southern States hesitate
to adopt Perhaps the conservative lead
ers are afraid that the black man, with an
education. will leave them far behind in
the race for riches, distinction and political
position. Their selfshness may prove their
destruction. State governments that rest
upon ignorance are edifices built On quick
sand.-NeU York Commercial Aduertiser
