CAPTAIN BRADY.s CLAIM.-The case of Cor
neIius l. Brady agaln at the American Steam
ship Company has ended in au award OF $4,000
10 the lbelant by the court in Philadelphia.
1t will be remembered that Captain Brady was
passenger on the steamship PennSy vania
from Liverpool to Philadelphia. The vessel
encountered heavy storm, and wave rolled
over the deck which swept the Captain and the
first and second officers into the sea. There
was great CONSERVATION on board when |! be-
came known that the three principal officers
had been lost. The third officer, who BY rea
son OF his rank should have assumed command,
seems to have been tlmld aud Incompetent
person, and did not act in the prompt and de-
csive manner that the occasion demanded. At
the earnest solicitation of the passengers and d
portion of the crew Captain Brady went to the
wheel, took charge Of the ship, aud steered her
safely through the storm. On the following
day when the dan ger was over the Chief Eu-
yuccr, Purser aud some others on board, with
out consulting the third officer, prevailed on
Captain Brady to remain III command. lie
did SO and brought the vessel iuto port. The
owners of the vessel offered TO pay him for his
services, but he did not consider the sum large
enough, aud under the advice OF eminent coun.
sci he set up claim for salvage. The c ase
mas been pending for Some months befnre
Judge CadwAIader, and a great deal OF testl-
lnony was taken. The court, following the pre-
cedcut Sc, in the Great Eastern case, decides
that this was a salvage service, although there
are great difficulties in the way. II Captain
Brady had retired from the command when the
p,nu was over Judge Cadwalader would have
d,creed him large SUN for merltorouS ser
wee, but be regards his continuing IN command
an uSurpation which greatly iu7aldates but
does not entirely defeat the claim Tor salvage.
He therefore. allows him 81, ,OOO and costs uot
exceeding 5000.
The examiners of the Edinburgh University
having refused Miss Jcx Blake a medical de-
gree, that sturdy lady charges that it was not
because her examination papers were not up TO
The required standard, but because she was
woman. Her structures have drawn a
letter from Professor Huxley, one of the
iucupated examiners He quietly tells her
that her paper on Natural History was
rj"cted because it was not worthy to pass.
Nevertheless he says he considers that
there are some women who are quite as
worthy OF a diploma as "the average medical
practitioner" aud that the profession might
with proprety be thrown open to those whose
requirements are up to that standard. Con
s'dcrlng that Miss .Jcx Blake was not suffered
to to pass, 1t is difficult TO say whether Professor
Huxley hits her or the average medical practl-
uoucr the hardest.

EDUCATION
MARTIN e. CADY, A. M,
coxnty Superintendent of Schools.

In this issue will be found the notice
of the teache IS examinations. 1t is our
intention to make these examinations
Of prsctical value to teachers, so that
they viii feel they ave missing some
real advantages it they do not attend.
We hope too that the people, In the
vicinity Of the place where the examiu-
alton is held, will make it point to be
present, especially at the evening lec-
turs. for We .desi gn to speak of the de.
6ciencies that We have observed in the
schools of the county and suggest rene.
dies. Topics of practical value to the
people and teachers of Pierce Go. will
be discussed. There can be no reform
instituted in our schools unless the peo-
pie will take pains to ascertain what re.
forms are needed. We need health Ter
public sentiment on the subject of edu-
eatioh that will make people act as we'll
as theorize. We call upau the people
of Pierce Co. to help US create this SEN
timeat by showing real interest in this
ex animation.

While many clamor loudly for re-
formation, and among various other
things, demand reduction Of prices
on both material aud labor, they
seem to forget the mighty difference be-
tween skilled and uuskilled labor.
They forget that education, talent and
skill combined can produce more, than
mere brute fosce. To pay the doctor
who amputates leg. may require tn,
price of months labor by an ordinary
laborer. But does this make his SER
vices any the less valuable! BY n"
means. The lawyer who draws deed
may require for the task, the saving of
a cord of wood; and is there any thing
unjust in this? Surely not. =
Mere muscle is necessary and use
full, but he who furnishes that alone.
can command the price of physical
power only, and he may be too often
pressed to bitter struggle for bread.
The mind of man needs cultivation,
that he may be better prepared to meet
the exigencies Of human life. While
labor is the foundation of wealth, it IS
skilled labor that bears the better price.
A mechanic of any kind, reaps the ad.
vantage of his skill, and this skill is
often more valuable than that of the
professional man. In fact. the profess
slons, as rule, go a.begging,- while the
skilled mechanics are men Of means.
Both the professional man and the
skillful laborer, command proportionate-
ly large amount of coarser work for ser.
vices rendered. The p,inter and glaizeI,
with dextrous hand, will command the
price of three days labor of the man
who makes his garden, or saws his wood,
for one with his brush.
IF we would improve our condition,
our aim must be to elevate, and not
pull down or degrade. This would not
be reformation iu any sense. Our aim
should he to educate, improve, and thus
increase the value. as we'll as to enhance
the price OF labor, skilled and un-
skilled. The unskillel lahdrer gets but
poor pay at The most. and, whether he
gets it in pills, wrlts, food or clothing,
it is mere pittauce at the best. Let
us not go backward, but forward; let
us not mistake either the means we use,
or the end we seek to accomplish.
