1T is common to contrast the educational
system of Ireland with that of England,
and draw from the contrast differences
favorable to the fruits of the latter Even
in the House of Commons this course is
pursued, and by men of culture and at
tainments. Not long ago DR. Playfair in
the course of a debate upon the proposed
change in the school system of Ireland,
declared that under the Irish system only
eighteen pei cent. of the pupils could read
and write. From this he argued, with
great earnestnesS, that the plan was. a full
and entire failure, and that the per cent
would get still lower instead of advancing
This declaration and statement, made as it
was in the House of Commons, attracted
attention, and was copied in the English
press with various comments. Whom the
matter was reached in the House of Lords,
the statements of Dr. Playfair were al
luded to by Lord Cranmore, and put side
by side with some official facts gathered
from the school statistics of Ireland. From
these it appears that eighty-six per cent
of the children in the schools of Ireland
had passed in reading in the schools of
England eighty-eight per cent. passed dur
ing the same year. In writing eighty-s six
per cent of the pupils of the Irish schools
passed i'm 1874 in the schools of England
the per cent. of pupils that passed in this
branch of education was eighty. AS a
grand total in all branches of education
the per cent. in the Irish schools was six
ty-twO; in those of England, fifty-nine.
1t was also shown that DIR. Playfair had
based his calculations and conclusions upon
l, i40, 900 children in the schools of Ireland,
whereas only 400 900 was the average at
tendance, and 300 600 the average number
of those who qualified for examination.
This puts an entirely different face upon
the actual workings and results of the
school systems of England and Ireland
The main fault in both countries seems to
be imperfect training Of tenchers. This
should be corrected. Teachers will either
raise or lower the standard of schools. If
fully equipped for their positions the per
cent. of favorable results will be advanced :
if not the downward track will be followed
both by schools and pupils. Instead, there
fore, Of introducing heated feelings and
imperfect statements into controversies in
relation to the schools of England and
Ireland, the friends of education in both
countries should join hands in an effort to
elevate she character and efficiency of the
schools, and thus confer greater benefits
upon the rising generation. .-Phtya. Times.

y REVOLVING LUNATIC. Probably one
of the most remarkable feats of pedestrian
ism ever attempted in the West is that now
being eSsayed in this city by a colored man
who calls himself Bob BIackhawk. This
individual arrived in this city few davs
ago, and while along the docks claimed
that he was able to accomplish the seem
ngly incredible feat of standing upon the
head of an ordinary barrel and constantly
turning around for twenty four hours with
out drink, food or sleep. Tie asserted that
he had performed the feat in Eastern cities
and talked so confidently that at last he
succeeded in exciting the interest of a few
speculative parties who deter mined to test
his powers of endurance. Blackhawk was
paI ticulatly anxious to make the trial lust
to satisfy the inc.eduious thai he could do
what he claimed, and accordingly it was
decided to crafty him. A common liquor
barrel was procured aud placed i'm small
room in The third story of the Hawley block,
next To The Central Police Station on
Woodbridge street east, and precisely at
O'Clock last evening Blackhawk mounted
the barrel aud commenced his task. Two
trustworthy men were detailed to remain
with him in the room. which was kept Sc
curely locked to avoid interruption, to see
that he faithfully carried out his attempt
They are to relieve each other for needed
repose. Shortly before o'clock this morn
ing a reporter of the Post gained admission
to the room where the private exhibition
was given. and found Bob resolntCiy shuf-
fling around on the barrel head apparently
as fresh as daisy. At that time he had
been at il nearly seven hours claimed to
he entirely free from fatigue, and was con
fident that he would fill ont the whale time
unless some unforeseen accident occurred -

E-<~S|S-as

TIE radical press has been busy of
late in endeavoring to inflame the
Northern mind and make little cheap
political capital in reference to certain
sentiments recently expressed by Gen.
John s. Preston, Of South Carolina, in
an address delivered by him at the
University OF Virginia The world
moves, but Preston is unwilling. in
the true spirit of an old French Bour-
bon, who never forgot and never learn
cd anything, TO acknowledge the evil
dence Of his own senses. He is the
type of few men in the South, as
Wendell Philips is a type Of the same
class in the North, who believe, or af-
feet to believe, that the civil war is not
vet ended, and that the slaughter
ought to be still going on. Such men
are as harmless as sucking doves,
whether they iinger beyond their time
in South Carolina or in Massachusetts,
The Charleston 6. O. Nc,c& md
Co"rier repudiates Preston and all his
follies and dispcses Of him and others
ofsthe same kidney in the following
plain and emphatic language:
''Gep. Preston is no longer a spokesman
for the people of this State. With a small
class of equally sincere and equally un-
reasonable mon his words will have some
weight, because they express a stubbornly
cherished opinion; but he, and such as he
however venerable or respectable, are no
longer leaders in this land Of active pur-
puse, high enterprise and libcral opinion
The men who control South Carolina
although their strength has never been
fully felt, are the men who were Young
when the war began, and went into the
army and stayed there. OF tho older men
there were two classes those who were
physically unified for the marching and
lasting of active service, and the much
larger class who were first in war-and
first out of it. Neither class, can mould
public opinion in this State, or in
any Southern State. Early in Virginia,
Toombs in Georgia, Preston in South Caro-
lima, cannot arrest the march of events.
Wendell Phillips, in Massachusetts,, is the
complement Of John 5. Preston in South
Carolina. 1t is best for the old leaders
that they remain in honorable privacy.
| Their words, tie words Of 1860, arc out of
time and tune. This is one country, this
is one people. We know it, and feel it.
Surely, then, VIC should pity those who
closed their eyes in the darkness before the
dawn, and wakens not, though the light
of the new day makes beautiful the land. -
