THE RELIGIOUS WORLD.

In his treatise on compulsory educa-

In his treatise on compulsory educa-
ton, Mr.. Dexter A. Hawkins says:
Between the years 1867 and 1869
one-half of the population of France
could neither read nor write; and out
of this one-half came, during those
years, Gmety-five per cent. of the
persons arrested for crime, and eighty
seven per cent. of those convicted OF
crime In New England only seven
per cent. of all the inhabitants above
the age Of ten are unable to read or
write; yet, out Of that small minority
of illiterate persons comes eighty per
cent. of the criminals. In New York
and Pennsylvania seven crimes are
committed by ignorant persons to one
by educated persons; while through
out the whole country the ratio is as
ten to one."

Dangerous Freaks of the Mfssisa:ppi.

There is imminent danger that Il
fresh stroke of bad luck is impending
over Memphis. For some years the
narrow isthmus, fifty or sixty yards
wide, that separated the Mississippi
from Loosahatchic and Wolf rivers,
has been steadily wearing away.
Civil engineers and property-holders
have not been unmindful Of the fact,
andnow and then have visited the place
where the waters Of the great river
have at last opened a way across the
country to Memphis. What may be
the consequence of this diversion OF
the foodtide of the Mississippi, it is
impossible to predict. The rivers cur
rent, as we are informed, expends its
whole force against the shore at the
very point at which this crevasse HIS
been made. 1.-THE resistless volume
of water move on straight line, it
may sweep away several sawmills,
and the navy-yard, and then transfer
to New Orleans that great heap OF
sand lying in the midst of the stream
Just opposite the foot of Union street.
But no living man can anticipate the
conduct or movements of the Mi>Sissip-
pi. A vast deal of property is involy-
ed, and, by bare possibility, even the
admirable new courthouse, guaranteed
to last as such for the full term Of
twenty years O.. Since ali this may
be seized by the father Of flood, ard
swept in among Eads jetties, or
block up the Barrataria Canal, and
pother the gulf stream, it might be
very well for persons interested, and
for those in authority, to investigate
the facts and possibilities to which we
refer, and if any great calamity, as
asserted by correspondent, impend
over the great Jail, that cost tax-pay-
ers halfa million dollars, measures to
prevent it should sbe adopted.-Ap-

EVANSVILLE AND GREA I
SOUTHERN II. Il.

Our people cannot overestimate the
importance of the location Of the Ev-
ansville and Great Southern Railroad
through our city, nor could they ap-
proximate 10 anything near the dam
ages naturally resulting to US from its
location on any one of the competing
lines other than ours. 1t behooyes
our citizens to put forth every exer-
ton to bring it to our city. 1t is set
tied that it will either come TO our
town or to some town adjacent, and
TO which one is not a question of
chance. That it VIII be built, and
that at an early day is now settled be-
You'd peradventure. 1t is a necessity
to the best interests of the city of Ev-
snsville, rendered 50 by the extension
north to Cairo of the Miss. Central
road. Evansville must have an out
let TO the South, and Milan, with her
railroad connections, presents the best
point for the southern terminous Of
the road. But our superior advan-
tages, our railroad connections and
our rich country viii avail Us nothing
unless we work and subscribe liberal
ly TO the enterprise.
It remains to be seen whether Nj
lsn's pluck and enterprise will fail
her at this the most important day Of
tie existence a. q town.

THE CHANGERS.

It's claimed that one thousand gran
ges will be established in Georgia by
January 1st, 1875.
Paradoxical-The new engine on
the Des Moines, Iowa, Narrow-guage
Railroad is named the Granger.
A gentleman who Travelled extens-
lively throughout Georgia, informs
the Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel
that the average in cotton will be
about % per cent less than last year.
4 larger area of land will be devoted
to corn and small grain. The State
Grange, of the Patrons of Husbandry
recommend one-third cotton and two
thirds in corn, wheat and other such
produces as needful to the support of
man and beast.
The Mobile Register gives the fol-
lowing good counsel: 1.-The Register
Is not an organ of the Grange. 1t IS
something better, for it is Il friend
that will speak the truth to them in
/ fairness and candor. Let them fol-
low up the lead of the veins Of sound
principles that some great man has
struck out for agricultural ameliora-
ton, improvement and mutual pro-
lection. But let them be just to 9th
er callings, and beware in their blind
confidence of every ma that wears
| the coIors of that order, that they do
Lot fall into the hands of those sharpest
of briers, the trading politica office
seakers.
I From the conversation of Hon. S. S.
Scott and Maj. W. S. Gordon, of Rus
/ sell, and Gen. George ID. Johnston,
I of Perry, officers of the State Grange,
we learn that the area of Alabama
/ land devoted toc corn, wheat, oats, etc, is
greater by far than was ever before
I known. These gentleman have had
unsurpassed opportunities to learn the
exact agricultural status, and then
statements may therefore beaeceptedas
semi-official, to says the least, They
are satisfied from what they have
seen and heard that the recommends
tons of the State Grange, as TO the
proportion of the ground that should
( be devoted to cotton, are being faith
fully complied with. As during the
war it was regarded SIS, in a measure.
reasonable to plant much cotton, sc
now the feeling is general among far
mers that it would be reprehenSible tC
fail to comply with the recommended.
ton of thegrange. BY this means
great good has been accomplished, anc
suificiency for man and beast seems
already assured. If the season prove:
propitious, the limited amount in cot
ton will yield more than has beer
gathered in any year since ISL
