Few men in these days, live to
see three-quarters of o century of
active military duty, but Field
Marshal Comm, of the British
army, who has just died, at the age
of ninty-one, has been in the army
seventy seven years. HeI was with
Wellington in his great ampaigns,
including the last and igreatest.
Comm had seen oceans of fighting,
and the simple record of his many
wounds and his numerous pro-
MOTIONS for gallantry wbuld have
suhiced for the honors of o dozen
men. It is bnt o few years since
he was made Governor of the
Tower of London, the recognized
berth of the champion veteran of
the army. He was probably the
last living general in the world
who saw fighting in the 18th cen
tury.

most favor right justice and the welfare Of
that construction of existing laws which will
our public schools. That administration of
our educational affairs, in which no voice is
allowed to our people, either through our
respectable and representative citizens or
otherwise, in which our means are squan-
dered while we are powerless to control them,
in which races are sought to be mixed, con-
trary to universal desire of white citi
zens and nearly all colored, and in which
grossly immoral influences are encour-
aged-such an administration cannot be
supported by law, being in itself a nuisance,
and in violation of the underlying principle
of law which is the consent of the community
for which it is enacted. The school tex is
not equal, it is not uniform, it is not levied
with our consent nor disbursed for our bene-
fit. 1t is not legal and it ought not to be
obeyed. Those who enforce it are enemies
and their action criminal. Now is the time
to meet, defeat and foreversremove these ile-
galities. 1t is the time to show that these
null and void mockeries of law can no longer
be enforced. This is an opportunity full of
promise if quickly seized and bravely en-
ployed.

A Florida Devil Fish that Almost Baffied
Fifteen Men,
From the Fernandina FLA Observ

From the Fernandina (Fls) Observer
A monster devil fish was caught under the
New York steamship wharf on Monday after.
noon. He had in some way got under, but
was unable to find his way out from among
the piling. Some men at work upon the
wharf heard the splashing which he made and
fred several shots at him, but as they seemed
to have no effect, harpoon was obtained and
his capture effected, fifteen men being re-
quired to tow him to the shore The blood
which escaped from him colored the water for
about ten feet on either side. He was sixteen
feet in width and fifteen in length. His fins
were about four feet long, aud his tail about
the same length, and not much larger than a
persons finger. His mouth opened to the
width of two feet and was eighteen inches in
length, and projecting from each side of it was
feeler about one foot wide and two feet long,
which he rolled up and unrolied at will. So
fur as can be ascertained, there has been only
one of these singular fish caught in this region
before this one. Previous to the war one
larger than this one was captured near Center
street wharf.

The SunfOwer as an Article Of Commerce.

To this plant many useful qualities are at
tributed, some of which are the following: 1t
is, in It's growing state, anti-miastic, and alb
serbs or scatters the malarious poison arising
from swamps or marshes, insomuch that the
Inhabitants of houses we'll surrounded by
sunfowers are said to escape ague and fever,
and similar diseases prevalent in such locali-
ties where suDfowers are not cultivated. In
France medicine prepared from some por-
ton of the sunhower is extensively used for
the cure of diseases produced by malaria.
The seed of the sunfower supplies large
amount of oil suitable to be used for lubr-
eating machinery. The seed, when ripe
also furnishes very good food for horses and
cattle, as substitute for grain, and the stalk
Of the plant is said to make good coarse fod-
der and to furnish an excellent material from
which to manufacture coarse paper. The
yield Of the sunfower, when cultivated, is
very large to the acre, both as regards seed
and stalk. Attention was beginning to be at
tracted to the cultivation OF this plant in
Maryland before the commencement of the late
war; since which but little has been heard in
regard to the subject.

OPPORTUNITY.
authority

Carpe diem! said an ancient poet. Pluck
the day as it goes and appropriate its pleas
ures and uses as they pass either the
blooms and fruits of the hours as they come
and 60. The admonition was directed to
seekers after pleasure rather than to those in
pursuit of honorable achievements, but the
advice is in moral aspect good for the latter.
A distinctive trait with those who succeed is
that which enables them to see and prompts
them to seize opportunity. They scarcely
wait for calculation or pause in doubt, but
grasp the chance as it is presented and turn
it to its best account.
Fortunes often result from Selling a lucky
opportunity. The wisest are not those who
try to foresee events, but those who can most
readily see the advantages they offer. The
great soldier is sometimes one who plans cam
paigns and forecasts the drift of a war, but he
is oftener that commander who is readiest to
improve the chances which constantly pre-
sent themselves in the misty and uncertain
drama of war. The statesman ought to look
to the future with all the light of reason learn
ing and experience yet he may do less good
with all his deep musing and foretholght
than another who is quick to observe and
utilize the chances and changes which none
could have predicted.
The admonition is applicable to commun-
ties and corporations as well as to individuals.
Every man of experience will remember nu-
merous opportunities which he suffered to
pass unimproved, from which by prompt and
benefit. A life of failure is life of neglected
chances; a life of success is life of chances
grasped and appropriated as they arose. 1t
is even so with cities which by wise and ear
nest government may sezs upon and utilize
opportunities for improving their condition.
There are, in addition to advantages of
situation, many circumstances that make or
mar the fortunes of cities which really able
magistrates will see and turn to account, but
which inert, unobservant and incapable rulers
will suffer to slip through their hands with
out profit. May not the existing state of the
public mind relative to our public schools be
reckoned golden opportunity for our city
authorities to accomplish great reform?
While general indignation pervades society
and while the attempt to degrade or destroy
our free public schools arouses spirit
of resistance to the outrage can not the
control of the school funds and of the
schools be wrenched from the impure fanati-
cal, partisan, mercenary hands in which they
are now held? To be successful, such action
must needs be prompt and bold, and under

A DEATH DEALING FoUNTAIN.-A letter from
Waynesburg, Penn, to the Allegheny Nail
says:
On Mellow Ridge in this county, about four
miles from Jacktown. and on the farm belong
ing to Henry Miller, there is what is called
the "gas spring" This is probably the
greatest curiosity in PENNSYLVANIA. The
water is cold, but bubbles and toams as if
boiling, and the greatest wonder is the inev-
liable destruction of life produced by inha-
ling the gas No living thing is to be found
within q circuit of 100 yards of the spring.
The very birds, if they happen to fly over it,
drop dead. We experimental with snake
of the copper-head variety on its destructive
properties by holding tia few feet above the
water. 1t stretched dead in two minutes. 1t
win kill human being in twenty minutes.
We stood over it five minutes, when a dull,
heavy, aching sensation crept over us, and
our eyes began to swim. The gas which es-
capes here is Of the rankest kind Of carbonic
acid

An attempt was made to put him out, and
here is what occurred in that law abiding and
weaponless State of Illinois:
SAT this general fight commenced, both
parties having friends in the room. Revolvers
were quickly drawn, and firing commenced
indiscriminately. At this juncture the scene
is described by eyewitnesses as terrible
Firing then commenced from the outside into
the hall, and large stones were also thrown
through the windows, as the dancing-room is
on the ground floor. Women shrieked for
help and the excitement Was awful. The
sheriff arrived on the ground, and quiet was
restored. Sixteen are badly wounded. The
building is completely riddled, there being
seventeen bullet holes on one side alone. The
windows are all broken, and blood can be
seen In large quantities
