our almsheuses and iails. When, in certain
sections of the United States, you find only
seven per cent. of the people, above the age
OF ten years who connot read and write,
and discover eighty per cent. of all the
crime chargeable to these sections is com
mltted by this ignorant seven per cent. it
will not do to deny that ignorance has a
most intimate relation to crime. The
statistics Of pauperism likewise show that
the iliiterate and ignorant crowd our poor
houses, and avery small proportion of the
inmates of these institutions have had any
OF the advantages of education VIII it be
said the State has no interest in the sup
preston of an evil that is the prolific source
OF so much misery and vice? Crime and
paupcrism are burdens which the State has
to bear, and to make use of every preventive
Of these evils is the dictate of good policy
and humanity.
There Is, however, more urgent reason
why the State should compel the education
of all the children within her jurisdiction.
1t Is patent to every observer that where
there is an aggregation of the ignorant and
criminal classes, the laws regulating suffrage
are frequently violated The most effective
remedy for this pernicious evil is the school.
1t is the nursery of the good citizen regu-
lates his will and action by certain fixed
principles, informs and disciplines his mind,
and excites and fortifes his selfrespect.
Receiving his education at the hands Of the
State, the child learns to look upon her as
his bcnefactor, and with the increase of his
intelligence there is corresponding growth
in his respect and veneration for the Com
monwealth from whose beneicence he has
so rich an Offering That man must be an
migrate, who, taught by the State and hav-
ing his mind enriched by the stores from
her bounty, will use the gifts thus bestowed
in corrupting her counsels or undermng
the faith of her people in the sanctity or
efficiency of her laws The lesson of the
common school is love of country and
obedience to authority. Can the time and
attention of those entrusted with govern
ment be employed upon a subject more
vital to the interests of society than to
secure the education Of every child within
the operation of its laws, and [ sincerely
trust thai from the wisdom of the Lesisiia-
ture viii be evolved some plan that VII at
least gather the neglected children of the
Commonwealth into institutions where,
jointly with the contributions of charitable
people, she canprovide for their maintenance
and instruction.

therefore, the interest, pride and patriotism
of every American engaged to make the
Centennial in its proportions and grandeur,
a true reflex of the intelligence, genius and
habits of our people, the magnitude of our
resources and the benefits of our institu-
tions2 This is the scope and intention of
the celebration, and if we mistake not, the
sentiments of the people of the country,
every State and Territory will be re
presented in the exhibition in the manner
that will best display its wealth, industries
and characteristics, and with the more COM
prehensive view of making the Centennial
truly national and American That the
products of foreign countries will be largely
represented, is assured by the number and
character of the nations that have signifed
their intention to contribute, and the
liberal appropriations they have made to
provide for suitable display. There has
been no abatement Of zeal in the efforts of
the gentlemen in charge of this National
undertaking, nor any cessation in their
labors to difFuse proper understanding of
its purposes and uses No apprehension
Of failure has ever seized them, neither
have they been disarmed by unfriendly,
and at times unjust criticism nor deluded
by plausible suggestions that might have
turned them aside from the supreme OBJ
ject for which they have striven. To their
talents, dignity Of character and untiring
energy, the country will be indebted for
large measure of the success of the Centen-
mai, and in what remains for them to do,
these qualities should Danish distrust and
command for them confidence and support.
The work upon the buildings intended for
the exhibition, is progressing rapidly, and
the structure in its architecture and pro-
portions will be "A credit to the nation. The
space to be allowed has been carefully all
lotted to each country, and ample provision
made that the articles exhibited will be
properl y and fully displayed, while every
facility will be afforded for the examination
of our own products Philadelphia is
enlarging her accommodations for the enter
tainment of guests, the neighboring cities
afford innumerable opportunities of a like
kind, the extensive park where the Centen-
mel buildings are located, is every day
adding to its natural beauty, with the con
tributions of art with which public and
private liberality is adorning its avenues,
and the welcome accorded those who attend
the exhibition, will be in keeping with the
traditional hospitality Of the people of
Pennsylvania, and We trust will reflect
honor upon the whole nation.

your sympathy and aid. No object should
make more successful appeal to our con

unfortunate children, whose future will be

by the instruction they receive from the
State. A number Of these orphans, dis

qualities that adapted them TO the calling
Of teachers, have been transferred upon the
expiration Of their terms, from the Orphan

served that in thepast yearthe revenues have
sensibly diminished, and the receipts were
only s., 81 1858 27.r This diminution Of
81 204. .754 SO was occasioned by the
repeal in 1873, of taxes on gross receipts
Of railroads, net earnings Of industrial and
other corporations, ard the tax on cattle
and farming implements 1t is worthy Of
remark that theErclief afforded by the
repeal OF thcse taxes was mainly In the
Interest Of corporations employing the
the greatest number Of working men. With
this reduction of the revenue, and with an
increased expenditure Of perhaps S500,090,
made necessary by the new Constitution III

dence, a broader and more generous sym

more general disposition is shown to make

natural and industrial resources, but to
manifest as well, that when the Nations

INSURANCE.

The necessity of an Insurance Depart
ment, and its utility, have been clearly
shown, since its creation, by the discovery
of a number Of unsafe and insolvent com
panies that were doing business in this
State, one of which resorted rot only to
fraud but to the crime of forgery to deceive
the public. The published assets of these
companies, in some instances amounting to
hundreds of thousands of dollars, upon
examination melted away to worthless
securities, the very possession of which
was convincing proof of an intention to
practice frand. The protection of sound
companies, the retention at home of the
capital invested in insurance, the interests
OF the insured and the honor of the State
alike demand the exposure Of these
fraudulent companies and the enactment of
Il general law SO stringent in Its regulations
that it will be impossible for adyenturers,
under the cloak Of an insurance company,
to rob the public. Every facility for the
detection Of imposture should be afforded
those charged with the examination of
these companies. The immense interests
involved in this business Of Insurance are
entitled to the utmost protection the State
can extend to them, and It's inquiries should
be so thorough that no form of deception
can elude its scrutiny. \ more ccmpre-
hensiye law, also, for the incorporation of
insurance companies should be passed and
made to embrace all classes of insurance.
and no company should be allowed to
organize, or exist, did not give the amplest
guarantees Of solyency and good flith.
ra g THE NEW CoNST TUITION
e One of the ehcouraging signs of the
times is the growing disposition on the part
OF citizens to give more serious attention TO
the science Of government and measures
for the purification of the channels of
administration and law. The most pregnant
mischief, however, OF our political system,
aud tor which no remedy has yet been
found, is the diaiaclination of men of
character and influence to devote small
portion of their time to educating a correct
public sentiment, and TO the selection of
men for otfice who viii fitly represent that
sentiment. IL is considered one of the first
advantages we possess under our form of
government to be permitted to vote for
those who are to make and administer eur
laws. lfcompelled by any arbitrary power
to surrender this privilege we would do so
only with urhves, Yet how many citizens
discharge this most important duty with as
much Indifference aad as little investigation
as to the merits Of the candidates as they
meet the ordinary requirements of their daily
llie. This unconecrn begat brood of
distempers whose malign influence years
ago reached the dearest franchises of the
people of this State 1t became evident
that reform. must be had in many of the
fgnetIeIls OF government in some places

-EREE-NoasE EQUALIZER.

Can't You give plan for making simple set
of drawbars for three horses so that all can pull
alike? think it would be valuable to many
Others besides. PLowMAN.
We have tried about all the three
horse arrangements that have come
out--some of them very intricate ones
including the Kalamazoo clevis,
which is very good one. The Canada
Farmer, an excellent journal by the
way, lately figured three-horse equal
izer, which, we think, comes as near
filling the bill, and in as simple a man
ncr, as any thing we have seen. 1t
may be made Of three pieces of any
tough wood, 5 inches wide by ? inches
thick, One piece, the centre one for
the singletrec of the middle horse, to
be - inches long, the other two, each
- inches long. These pieces are
Joined together at the ends by straps
Of one inch long, u inch wrought
iron, leaving space between these
drawbars, one inch, to allow play !;
and the straps of iron so fastened
that the whole remains flexible. These
drawharS, agam, are attached to the
donbletree proper, which should be 5
feet long, > inches thick, inches wide
Mt the centre, and 3 inches wide at
the ends. The horses are attached TO
the short bars, ut the centres, by
means of ordinary wagoa singletrees,
and when not wanted these may be
removed, The whole arrangement
is simple, cheap, easily made, and
effective -- Western Farm Journal.

THE FARM.
ROOT CROPS AND ROTATION.

Let US now look for a moment at
the relation in value Of root crops, to
the other crops Of the farm. The cul-
tivation Of beets in France and Ger
many has added one quarter to the
number Of cattle that may be fed !;
and also added 25 per cent. per acre
TO the production Of wheat in those
countries. Why? Nothing is export
ed bnt the sugar Of the crop. The.
beet pulp, after the sugar is taken, is
one Of the most valuable Of foods for
cattle; and the cattle fed return large
quantities of rich manure to the soil.
Crops Of beets are among the bess
fallow crops known; for the land
must be put in first rate condition,
and kept absolutely free from weeds.
This done, there is no difficulty in
raising great crops Of anything which
fallows.
TO WHOM ROOT CROPS ARE VALUABLE.
Among very important class OF
western men, the cultivation Of root
crops might be of great value. These
are stock breeders and dairymen. For
tunately this class can afford to cult
yate them Systematically. Our ex
treme summer drouths renders the
cultivation of turnips impracticable.
Not so with other roots, and espec.
tally beets.
We do not advocate the cultivation
Of roots by the general farmer, al
though if done to such degree that
each horse, sheep, head Of swine or
cattle kept, could have a certain guam
tity each day, in connection with other
food, it would be found profitable III
