The PEABODY FUND-MIxED SCHOOLS.
The amount distributed in West Nir-
ginia, is $4,000.
The committee of the Peabody fund
trustees, consisting of William Eyarts,
John III. Clifford, and Samuel Whet-
more, appointed to consider the sub
ject OF mixed schools in the South, re-
port that after the most careful compari-
son OF opinions, and the most solicitous
consideration Of all the elements OF the
discussion affecting the interests OF ed
ucation in the various States for their
white and colored population, have I'M
animously come to the conclusion that
the prospects and hopes of the public
systems Of education at the South will
receive q serious if not fatal blow
from any Legislature which should
make such systems OF education main
tainable only on scheme Of mixed
schools as the organization required Tor
such public education. The Bord are
OF the opinion that while justice and
public duty as well as the interests and
feelings of the white and colored people
of the South concur in demanding 4
system Of public education which should
give equal opportunities and equal
advantages to the children of either
color, that no such result would be
promoted by the compulsory system OF
mixed schools. The committee in con
clusion says these views are fully set
forth in the report Of the general agent,
which is accepted and approved as eX-
pressing the unanimous opinion OF the
! trustees

to forfeit your credit; to be placed at

The Source Of Many Ills.

II all tie ailments bodily aud mental, which
torment the human family could be traced 10
their primary sources, 1t would probably be
found that three fourths of them originated ~
the failure Of the stomach and the other organs
BY which the food Is converted INTO nutriment
and applied T. the purposes OF lie, to perform
the tasks allotted 10 them by nature, vigorously
and regularly. This being the case the vast
importance Of medicine which compes these
organs TO do their whole duty thoroughly and
efficiently becomes at once apparent. Hos

teriZed "a a preparation q this kind, indeed as
the only one which can be implicitly relied on
as combining the properties OF st0machic, an
Alternative and an aperlent ~ such proportions
as 10 produce simultaneously the desired eject
upon the d.sordered stomach, liver and iutes-
tines. This conclusion IS warranted by the
CELEBRITY aud certainty with which the Btiers
afford relief 10 chronic cases Of dyspepsia, tor
piditJ OF the liver aud constipation. The false
idea that these complaints and others hat
grow out o { them, could be cured BY fierce ca
thartics, has at last, 1t Is hoped, been thor
oughly exploded. The sick, during the last
hundred wears have swallowed thousands Of
tons Of mercury, scammony, gamooge, croion
oil. alsp, &C., and tens OF thousands Of graves
have been prematurely filled thereby. But
ever since the principle OF renovation, as en-
bodied in Hosteiier's Stomach Bitters, was
arrayed agains, the principle Of PrCslrslIon, as
represented by mineral salivants and furious
purgalres, the latter has steadily and surely
fallen into deserved contempt. The oulcry
against stimulation by which concoet0rs Of

disgusting ana dangerous compounds has onl!
served 10 increase the demand for the whole

Mis-. SwIssHELM AND SUSAN Is. An
THoNY.-On Thursday, during the pro-
ceedings of the Womans Suffrage AS
ISOLATION in Chicago, the following
amusing tilt between Miss. Anthony
and Mrs. Swisshelnl took place
Mrs. J. G. Swisshelm next took the
stand. She didn't agree with every
thing Miss Anthony said. There were
more men willing to give women the
ballot than there were women to ask II.
1t had always been her desire to get
law emitting tax-paying women to vote
but they had objected. If 1t was in her
power to give all women OF the coun-
try the franchise tomorrow, she would
not speak the word. She believed in
franchising few at a time on special
subjects in which they were interested.
In her opinion the sutfragist had asked
too much. They had drawn their bow
at the sun, and may probably hit the
moon. The speaker liked men better
than she did women. The women had
not asked for the franchise rightly; if
they had, it would have been granted.
If they would not declare that they
would not pay taxes unless permitted to
vote, but would just ask the right to
vote every time they pay their takes,
they would be more likely to have the
privilege accorded them. If the wo-
men would only sit down beside the
men-thcy might even sit on one OF
their knees-and ask for their rights
they would be more likely to receive
them. This was followed by uproar-
ious applause, Miss Anthony hiding her
face, evidently reminded Of the late
Brooklyn episode. Mrs Swisshelm went
on to say that she understood men bet
ter than did Miss Anthony, and, fnrth-
crmore, she knew more about them than
did hercolleague, with whom she always
felt privileged to disagree.
Miss Anthony replied to Mrs. Swiss
helm, and remarked that they had al
ways entertained opposite opinions and
there was no probability Of either one
converting the other. She was not
content to receive her protection from
the male portion of the community; she
wanted to at the mercy of herself. She
was earnest in this matter, because she
/ felt the position at present occupied by
women was all insult and dcgration t.
/ her position in society.

SUSPENSION OF \ Coal AND IEoN Cow
rANY.-The Virginia Consolidated Coal
and Iron Company, whose mines are
near Bloomington, has suspended oper-
atoms. Their property was sold last
week on account of the foreclosure OF a
mortgage Of $4,000. The entire prop
crty brought only 100000, and was
bought 10y tie trustees holding the
mortgage. The closing up of this mine
throws about seventy miners out OF en-
plovmrnt, to whom there is due two
months pay, amounting TO upwards of
$1,000. This loss falls very heavily
on these men, who, with a long winter
staring them in the face, are out OF
work 1t is reported that the company
had money enough in one Of the Batl-
more banks to pay the miners one
months wages, but an attachment was
laid on this and the entire amount was
gobblcd up by some Of the officers

DErRECIATIoN OF LOUISIANA Prop
ERrY.-A correspondent Of the New
York Sun sends to that journal two o1-
amplcs showing the enormous dcpre-
citation in the value Of property IN
Louisiana since the war The first Is
what is known as the Hope estate plan
tation, owned by Marylanders. 1t con
sists of i. 500 acres of land, 1900 cleared
and under cultivation in 1861. There
were about one hundred and fifty slaves
on this place in that year. The land,
with stocks and farming implements,
exclusive OF the slaves, would have
sold for $50 per acre, making the value
Of the land $4,000. This plantation
has been for sale three years, the own
crs asking for it $2,000-one seventh
Of It's former valuc-and no bideys. The
other plantation is known as Tiger
Bayou, situated on Tcnsas river. in Ca
ia houla parilh. 1t contains ! 800 acres
of as fine alluvial as can be found il tie
Mississippi valley. 1t was worth sGopcr
acre in 1860, making its value $4,000.
Its own owed the ovcrseer Of 1t 500.
After tie war closed the latter sued for
bis money. GOT judgment and recently
had the place sold for the debt, when
he bought it in for 50, 80 Thus Il 500,
90 plantation sold for only s. 3D.,
leaving the owner still owing to the
oycrsccr SG97 80 on a 500 debt.
