COMPULSORY EDUCATION.

Sufficient time has elapsed to test the
effect of the Compulsory Education act
of New York. The law went into effect
on the 1st of january. 1t is very strict,
leaving very few loopholes of escape
Tor the truant, The difficulty, however
as might have been expected, has not
been found in any defect of the statute,
but in the obstacles thrown in the way
of its enforcement. And, indeed, when
we are told that the Commissioners are
now after the newsboys and the boot
blacks-the licensed gamins of the
streets-it becomes apparent that rig
orous execution of the law is calculated
to work serious hardships to class of
Youngsters who are are laudable en-.
gagged in the endeavor to make an hon
est living. Whether the net is broad
enough to catch, and strong enough TO
hold these slippery eels, is doubtful.
At present the newsboys and boot
blacks are a match for their pursuers
They keep their eyes were wide open
all day, and said to sleep with them
half open at night in apprehension of
capture. Every demure looking and
inquisitive person who approaches
them is regarded with quick suspicion
and if he is soft of speech and appar-
entity stealthy in his motions, the shrill
cry rings out: "He's a cop! Cheese it "
Straightway it spreads CONSERVATION

A WOMAN OF ENTERPRISE

About two weeks ago a woman, giving
the name of Frances Stewart, evidently
French, appeared near Stroudsburg, Pa
She was well dressed and good looking
and went from house TO house selling no
tions. On Saturday, the 10th, she went
away, it was supposed to village on the
Delaware and Llckawanna railway
Early last Monday morning, James
stearn, a farmer of jackson township
was awakened by noise in his room
He jumped from bed. and bearing some
one running from the room, pursued and
caught the intruder. and found that i

at him. The shot did not take effect.
and Stearn overpowered and secured
her. His prisoner was the French wo-
man. of whom he had purchased notions,
exhibiting at the time considerable
money. She had secured his pantaloons,
in the pockets of which was his wallet.
The prisoner was taken to Strouds-
burg on Monday, and the Jail not being
in condition to receive prisoners, she
was put in he grand jury room in the
court house. She declared that she

flames first. She subsequently quieted.

Early on Friday morning Mrs. TuthiY
janitress of the court house, was awaken
ed by smoke in the building. She at
once gave the alarm, and by great efforts
the fire was e1tinguished. Nearly all
the floor was burned away and several of
the beams. 1t was at first supposed that
the woman had perished in the flames.
but later II was learned that she had es-
capped by window in the room. 1t was
also discovered that she had removed the
door from a large base-burner stove in
the room. and upsetting it On the floor,
had piled the bedding and furniture upon
it. No trace of the escaped incendiary
has as yet been discovered.

The PROPOSED IsTHMUs CANAL.-The
commission for some time engaged at
Washington in examining the various
surveys and estimates of routes across
the Isthmus for u ship canal uniting the
Atlantic and the Pacific have made their
report in favor Of the Nicaragua route.
They estimate the cost Of the canal by
this route. which will extend distance
of Isl miles. at $685. 10000. Although
longer than any of the other proposed
routes, the commission regard it as the
best, for the reasons chiefly that it is the
only cne of the number where the climate
is not dangerous to health, and where an
unfailling and proper supply of water
can be had, Lake Nicaragus being able

AndrelO Johnson's Family.
THE MARRIAGE OF HIS ONLY soN-THE
RECENT MARRIAGE OF HIS GRAND
DAuaHTRR

DAUGHTER.
From the Brooklyn Eagle, Nov. 2Gth.
The marriage yesterday of the only
son Of the late ex-Prcsident, Andrew
Johnson, and the recent marriage oi
his eldest grand daughter, Miss Lillian
Slower, recalls 10 the public mind the
family of Andrew johnson as they
were known to it during and since
the stormy days of his administration.
During their residence in the White
House, the daughters of Mr.. johnson
greatly endeared themselves to the
people by their conduct of social af.
fairs, and by their gentle and courteous
manners. After they left Washington
they returned to Greenville, where, in
few months, Robert, the second son,
died
After his death there remained but
one son, Frank, the youngest, who was
at school at that time in Georgetown.
On his return to Tennessee he, being
now the only son, assumed his father )
name, which, though his, own, lie had
not borne before, and was the enceforth
called by it. He is young man of
twenty-four yeais ST age, and is at pre-
sent editing weekly paper at Green
vile, Yesterday he was married to a
youn. lady from North Carolina, the
following card of isvitution telling the
whole story:

Bessia Rumbough. Andrew johnson.
The young coaplc will reside perma-
nently at Greenville, most likely n the
old family residence, which lust now
is tenautless. Mrs. Johnson's failing
health necessitates the presence Of one
OF her daughters, and to be near the
one and with the other she resides al
most wholly since her husbands death
with Mrs. Patterson, at the country
home of the latter. Very recently the
eldest grand daughter of Mr.. Johnson,
Miss Lillian Stover, was married vt her
mothers residence, in Carter county,
to Mr.. Maloney, the former private
secretary Of Mr.. johnson.
This wedding was wholly private,
the bride reserving the right to decide

SON s family, because the sharer with
him in all the social duties pertaining
to his various high positions, was pre-.
sent at the memorial services held in
honor OF his memory at Nashville in
October. She is an invalid and great
sufferer.
Her fathers death was a blow from
which she does not recover even slowly
and while she rejoices over the happi-
ness of those about her and welcomes
to the family circle the new members
who were married into it, yet she
carries heart that is too heavy to be
calmed, and yet too strong to be over
come. She pleads to having grown
nervous of late and unable to bear sus-
pense or care" and as finding life a
trial to those who like her are too
weary to bear its burdens. without
complaint or murmHr as she feels it her
duty to do.

formed so easily, bounced upon an old
sheep but got his feet entangled in the
wool. A feat like unto this was performed
IN 1875. The STATESMAN has beene posing
the infamous city administration for some
time past. The old crow (Gazette), seeing
this have so much effect with the people,
bounced upon the county officials; bat,
again like the old crow, got his feet entan-

apology to the old sheep, Smith. But it is
not my place to upbraid the man of the Ga

WE learn that the machines being used
on the Rogers and Pendley farms are doing
amazing work. No real test Of speed or
capacity has yet been tried, but they have
already threshed out four bushels of oats
10 the minute, or at the rate Of $40 bushels
an hour which we call business. This
years experience with reapers and binders,
threshers and cultivators win be Of great
benefit to farmers and dealers in Western
Texas for all time to come. The sale Of
machines this year has been far greater than
last year or ever before, and no doubt the
sales next season viii be double what they
have been this year, both for use in this
county and at distant places as WELL We
also learn that the oat yield this season has
been more than double what it ever was be-
fore, while the yield of wheat has also been
more than ever before. With good grain
market at Galveston, aud Il is said that ele-
vatOrs are to be built this year, more atten-
ton viii be paid in this portion of the
State to the cultivation Of the cereals
and less to cotton. The farmer who raises
grain gets a return for his annual labor
months before he who cultivates the heecy
staple, and while the cotton grOwer.is med
itating over threatened drought or an in
vasion by the army worm, the grain grower
is calmly counting his thousands already
realized for his marketed productions.
