Most Valuable Education.

1t is indeed gratifying to know that the
best thinkers and educators Of the country
are uniting their efforts for ehecting such
changes in our higher grades Of public
schools and colleges as may be necessary to
afford that instruction which will he most
valuable to the pupils in the various walks
Of business life. The tendency Of our sys-
TEN Of education has been TO at least in
spire young men with an ambition to enter
upon the professional walks Of life One OF
the most common resorts of teacher when
child first enters school, is to arouse his
ambition by telling him that he may become
President of the United states. There is
no telling how many Of our professional and
corrupt politicians can date the growth OF
their political ambition from the germ thus
planted in the mind by the teacher.
Ambition is laddabe, but it should BE- d.
rected in proper channels. Young m"n
should be inspired with an ambition to be-
come useful and honorable members of soci-
city. They should be made to realize that
honest worth is the brightest jewel which
can deck the brow Of man, aud that This may
be won in anyof the various positions which
men are called to filled in . busy life. II is
not possible for every young man to pursue
what is considered a complete collegiate
course Of studies, but every one may pursue
and master such branches Of education as
are calculated to ft him for success as
farmer, a mechanic, or business man.
knowledge is power, and its force is nowhere
more apparent than when applied to the pro
ductiye and general business pursuits Of life.
The time is not distant when vastly
greater results will attend our educational
system than at present-whcn the mind will
not only be disciplined and trained to activ.
ity, but will be stored with knowledge which
can be made to strengthen the arm aud in
crease the producing power Of the active
worker in every walk Of life. It is only
through this method Of instruction that the
greatest possible benefits can be derived
from education

SINGULAR MoRrALITY.-The death Of
Hon. James Bufhnton, member Of Congress
from the First District of Massachusetts,
which occurred Sunday, at Fall River, by
hemorrhage Of the bowels, within an hour
after his arrival home, makes the sixth death
in the Massachusetts Congressional delega-
ton within the last two years. Mr.. Bufiin-
ton would have been ffty-eight years old on
the seventeenth of this month. lie served in
the 3ith, 35th, seth, 37th, ilst, i2d, 43d, and
was reelected to the iith Congress lie
was chairman of the committee ON accounts
of the House, and was highly esteemed by
all who knew him. lie was much affected
by the recent death of his colleague, Mr..
Hooper and applied for an indefinite leave
OF absence soon after that event, but con
tinued about the capitol during the remain
der of the session. seldom missing to record
his vote on important questions. Ee was

CENTRAL VERMoNT.-The managers of
the Central railroad Of Vermont propose a
readjustment Of their various forms of in
debtedness in manner equitable to all, and
so that hereafter there may not be a doubt
as to the ability of the corporation to pay
promptly from its earnings. The plan is to
give the Vermont aud Canada stockholders
at six per cent. bond, reduce the Vermont
Central SIS to Is, aud the Rutland IS also TO
rs. Then the Central Vermont is to have
81 100000 eight per cent guaranteed stock
for money actually paid in, and the Vermont
Central first mortgage bonds, together with
the Rutland preferred, to be consolidated as
a six per cent. preferred stock, and the sec
ond mortgage and Rutland common into a
common stock. 1t is necessary for all to
give in something, and this plan seems rs
nearly equitable as it is possible to arrange it.

A New STATE,-Congress at its last ses-
sion voted to admit Colorado into the Union
as state but refused admission to New
Mexico. We are decidedly of the opinion
that it would have been better to have de
MED admission to either but perhaps it is
well enough. Colorado has an excellent
population. There are many New England
people there, and while most of them are
looking out for the main chance in several of
the towns they have all the elements of good
society and home. 1t will not be admitted
to the Union till after the next Presidential
election. The constitution will emboly the
recognition of equal rights. The new state
has an area Of Que hundred and four thous-
and five hundred square miles, and is about
the size Of New England and the state Of
New York. A large portion of it will never
admit of settlement aud no one will have
much regret on account of this fact. 1t will
remain for many generations a wild and i'm
pressive region to all who wi h to spend q
few weeks in the summer season in commu
nieation with nature in her visible forms,

A Coon PREyESrIyE.--Is it true that the
English sparrow consumes more grubs,
beetles, grasshoppers and insects generally
than any other bird, and are they not to be
fed and encouraged to multiply till the land
is full of them? Who can say they would
not be an antidote to the grasshopper plague !?
If they could be multiplied along the frontier
of civilization by millions, and the inhab-
tsnts would encourage their procreation,
and with them would preserve their prairie
hens and quails, there would be no inconsid-
cradle obstacle to the spread Of the grass
hoppers. In addition to this, millions of tur-
kies should be raised on those plains, and
perhaps the whole would make on army often
sive and defensive that no amount Of insects
would more than suffice for food III TO be
desired that the experiment may be tried
with them oil.

PRESERVATION OF TlMBGR.-The impor-
lance Of forest culture, which is attracting
attention IN Minnesota, is likely to be more
appreciated in the eastern as well as the
western states. II is clear that the preserya.
ton of what timber we have Is the first req
usite to its increase and by setting aside
the Adirondack Park, New York has recog-
nized the absolute necessity of doing some,
thing 10 protect agricultural and mechanical
interests OF the state from the evils which
an irregular rainfall caused by the destruc,.
ton Of forests occasion Our excessive cold
and heat are doubtless in some way con-
neeted with this dimunition of timber, and
as this is becoming so valuable, tree planting
may be recommended as profitable in more
senses than one. Let the woodman, there
fore, not only spare the trees we have SO far
as he can, but plant great many more,

SENSIBLE AcTIoN.-The governor of Ar
kansas has issued proclamation appointing
Thursday, March, 25th, as a day of thanks,
giving for the many blessings which have
been showered ON the state for the past
twelve months. Referring TO the adoption of
the Poland report, the governor says; ave
have been sustained by the true oonserva-
tive Republican sentiment, which is one Of
the most gratifying features connected with
our struggle, and one which we should feel
proud Of. With all we have undergone, if
our cause has been the occasion of harmon
izing aud uniting liberal and conservative
elements in the nation that have heretofore
been dscordant, we are more than paid.
As governor OF the state, enjoin upon per-
sons now TO see that peace and order are
preserved, all violations Of law promptly
looked after and those engaged in them be
arrested and brought to answer before the
law"

TnE TAX BILL.-The Springfield RepuJ-
iican very properly says of the new tax and
tariff bill that sit accomplishes very simply
and easily the increase Of rovenue," aud
that, as il taxes no article which is not
taxed already, it necessitates the very
minimum of increase in the labor and cost
of collection, and opens the door to no
evasions, misunderstanding, and litiga-
tons" The increase is very moderate, and
upon interests which will least feel the bur
den. The restoration Of the additional ten
per cent tariff upon articles of import ought
to prove o positive benefit to the country,
by stimulating manufacturing interests and
giving some impetus to business. What
the country needs is something which shall
give fresh start to trade aud industry, and
this provision Is In that direction. 1t will
be very acceptable to the manufacturers and
10 the hosts connected with them.

DISTRICT FORGERS.
Examination Continued.

The case Of the alleged conspiracy to rob the
District was resumed In the Police Court at one
o'clock yesterday.
Justice J. T. K. Plant and George B. Coburn
were called, but offered no testimony In proof Of
any conspiracy. General George W. Balloch,
cashier of the Peoples Savings Bank, identified
the warrants deposited in his bank by Thompson,
and which he (BallOch) presented at the United
States Treasury and upon which he received the
full amount from the Treasury he knew moth
ing Of any fraud or conspiracy in connection with
them.
MI. Drury was again called, to testify as to the
not swear positively that it is Waters signature.
Mr.. Riddle opened the case for the defence. He
argued that no case whatever had been sustained
by the evidence presented. 1t has been proved by
Government witnesses that q claim existed
against the District and in favor Of Waters; that
II there were any errors or duplicate claims, 1t
was entirely by the fault of the District officials
This claim, which is alleged to be fraudulent, was
reported by an Official was certified to by the
board Of audit, and was ordered TO be paid by the
auditor.
No particle Of proof Of fraud or CO. spIracy had
been found upon the individuals held. He asked
that the case be dismissed. The Judge thereuPon
discharged Lazenby, Luckett and Wilmarth, but
held Waters and Thompson, mainly upon the
proof that the names Of the men upon the payroll
and powers Of attorney as laborers were fictitious
and mat no such persons appear to exist. No
witnesses were called for the defence jointly Mr..
Miller, counsel for Waters, called several wilt
nesses to prove that Waters had no knowledge OF
the transaction; that he did not make or sign the
pay-roIls The testimony OF the witnesses was
not at all conclusive and rather complicated the
case. The Judge ruled that he was not to try the
case and as there was still reasonable grounds to
suspect that q conspiracy existed he would hold
Waters and Thompson In q, 900 bonds each to the
grand jury.
Robert b. Gill, formerly clerk in the office Of
the Comptroller Of the District and one Of the
witnesses in this case was arrested by Detectives
Sargent and McElfresh upon q warrant sworn
out by District Comptroller COyle, charging him
with completely In the conspiracy. Gill was held
in g 900 bonds to appear in this court on Wednes-
day next for q hearing.
