COST OF PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

according to the report Of my worthy
predecessor, Col. Fleming, which is
made up from the statistics Of counties
and cities, the average attendance in our
public schools last year was l61,039, at a
cost of $977,376,41, or about Sc per
scholar for 1856 months. or less than
$3.50 per scholar per month. This in,
cludes city schools, where the schools are
much moro highly graded. Exclusive of
city schools, the cost per pupil per month
is stated at 8l.45. The whole cost Of ad.
ministeriug the fund, Including the State
Bureau, was Al per cent. Now, g%entle-
men, it SEEING to me that this is cheap
enough for the education Of your children
Il fear too cheap. If you would be
more liberal and expend a little more,
your schools would be greatly more Of.
icient and show more satisfactory results.
If you would give 50 q month to each
pupil, you could command schools equal
to any. | mean, Of course. in elementary
instruction. In the city Of Memphis,
where all the higher branches are taught
both sexes. the cost last year per pupil
per month was only about $3.50, aud
that in a city where living is very high.
Now, what do you suppose is the average
expense per month for such pupil in pri-
waite schools in cities9 Why, from IS TO
SO per month, in accordance with the
branches taught, You thus see the su-
perior economy Of public ever private in
situations Of learning. And when the
schools are we'll organized and in full
operation the universal experience of ed.
~ucators isthat the public schools are as
fer superior in their efficiency oyer pri-
vate schools as in their economy. Instead
then. Of giving away the money yGu er.
pend in the way of taxation on these
schools, you are actually saving it, and
have better schools. / say nothing o.
what you save by having better neighbors
by preventing crime, by directing the
attention of the coming generation tt
bread winning pursuits and thus saving
the costs Of pauperism and depredations
The account Of these when we'll taken
will be vast ."--Sapt Trousdale.

CENTENNIAL

While every Civilized Nation under
the sun is taking appropriate steps for
an international display of the eviden,
ces Of its existence and standing, in
the great family of Nations at Phila.
dephia, next year. While every State
and Territory in the United States
may w not say almost every county
or other geographical division, is put
ting forth no uncertain sound with re.
gard to this the only Centennial Exhi-
bition that any Of us will aver live to
see. What What we ask Is the
good old County of Washington doing
for this enterprisep
Bearing the name of the Father Of
our country, the oldest county in the
State. among whose hills and valleys
the devotees of FRANKLAND, marshal
ed their hosts in battle array; whose
deposits OF the richest minerals mex
haustable in quantity, and unsurpassed
in quality; whose timber, water power
and attendant natural advantages
stand second to none on the continent.
The productive capacity Of whose soil
is yet undetermined. The education
al and religious advantages, the indus
try and skill of our farmers, mechanics
and artisans. These and ten Thousand
other considerations, demand action a
our hands, not only to yindicate oul
CLAIM to the advantages we possess bu'
in Justice to our children whose futur,
prosperity and happiness depend
smeasurably upon the success that ma.
attend the effort to place East Ten

Clandestlne marriages.

OF ninety-ninc cases i'll a hundred,
the girl who consents to be privately
married gives herself cause for life
long regret. Even though her par
cnts overlook her cscapade, and re-
ceive her again into favor, the man
she marrles never iorgets the fact that
Il disobedient daughter seldom makes
an obcdlent wife, and the first matri-
monial quarrel is apt to betray his
private opinion on the subject. Yet,
reprehensiblc though stolen matches
may be, the absolute cruelty which
parents too often display toward their
erring children is barbarous. For in
stance, a merchant, ascertaining that
one of his clerks had privately mar
ried his daughter, a mere school girl,
Immediately disowned his misguided
child, and, not content with that, DIS
charged the clerk on accusation OF
theft. Now, the unhappy husband is
out of work, his character gone, star
ing pitiless poverty in the face. Do

Origin Of the Rooster IL, Politics.

of General Harrison, that he first
made his appearance. Indiana then

mel was J. w. Chapman, In those
days locomotion was slow, and it re-
quired days, and even weeks to get

1t SO happened that in some particu-
lar county IN Indiana, the Democrats
made a gain over previous elections.
An enthusiastic Democrat wrote to 4
friend in indianapolis the news, and
not knowing Mr.. Chapman, the editor
Of the Sentinel, personally, requested
his friend to communicate the facts
to Chapman, adding these significant
words, "Tcll Chapman to crow"
\t.ti' WV iaoiii
secondhand correspondent, Chapman
did "crow' in his paper, and as the
business Of "crowing" is usually done
by the chanticleer, he brought out
one of those fine large birds at the
head of his columns.
This was the first rooster ever
placed in 4 Democratic paper to re-
joice over Democratic victory. AS
the general results of that election
We're against us, it was matter OF
derision for the Whig papers, when
any Wing victory was obtained, to
add these words, ''Tell Chapman to
crow" This assisted to fix the mat
ter in the popular mind, and to ma
tionalize the emblem. No better one
could have been adopted. The roost-
er is probably the most brave and
gallant of the birds. He is never
conquered as long as he has life.
