THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

Nor do we make light of the real
dangers which does in some quarters
threaten the system of public schools.
1t has already been found necessary,
in this and some other States, to pro-
hibit by constitutional provisions any
division or diversion, of public school
funds. But experience has shown
that these provisions can be evaded.
It may Jet, Of course, become nece.
sary TO- meet the question in State
elections. IF the attack should con.
tlnue, and at some future time should
become SO powerful as seriously to
threaten the existence of the system
OF free, non sectarian schools, it may
be needful, by amendment of the
Constitution of the United States, to
raise up insuperable Barriers against
Eall forms of assault upon that system.
For, come what may, the people of
this country will sustain their schools.

education are the basis Of republican
government, and that free institutions
cannot be always safe In any land in
which the education Of the Young is

4 SCENE IN CAIRO.

AS we sit in our hotel windows
awaiting the moment of departure, we
enjoy a last tableau Of Cairo. A long
train Of camels files by, each one at
tached to the tail Of the one preced-
ing. They march on erect beneath
the large building stones with which
they are laden. They look innocent,
even sod; yet they are said to bris-
tie with rage it provoked beyond
measure. These have hardly passed
when there follows wedding process
sion. AT the head pipes piper up
on reed, which squeakes nightly;
then two drummers supply with great
volume what the reed lacks in sweet
ness. Now follow long lines of Ar
abs arm in arm across the highway
then the bridegroom bestraddliDg a
donkey. Throngs kiss his hands, and
prophesy happiness. Now follow
women; thickly velled walks the
bride between two bridesmaids, who
support her, and seem to address her
with much gesticulation, as if to
tease her; but perhaps they are Civ
ing her lessons in marital matters.
Four gaily decked boys bear cano-
py over her head, and she moves with
the air of a stage-queen. Behind these,
with much talking and shouting,
come the rabble; and the vile little
donkey-boys, congregating in numbers
before the hotel, when not besieging
some easy-going excursionist, take
part in the merry procession by push
ing the bright little donkeys among
them. The beasts take the brunt of
the beating with gentleness, but ap-
pear not to relish the fun.-Scribuer

The following from the "farm
and home department of the Chicago
Inter- Ocean will be of interest to the
owners Of hens: Com fed hens do
not lay in winter, for the simple rea-
son that there isn't any albumenous
material in the corn. When wheat
is fed there is fat enough in it to sup
ply all that is needed for the yolk,
and gluten enough to make the white,
and lime enough to furnish the shell !;
it does not thus seem difficult to un-
derstand why corn fed hens should
not lay, as they do not, and why
wheat fed hens should lay, as they

head issuing from beneath a stone.
With the rapidity Of a fash of light
ming the cbarmer dropped bis instru-
ment, and, selling the reptile with
marvellous skill, flung it into the air,
and caught it by the tail as it was
falling to the ground. On examin-
ing it, it turned out to be only harm
less adder. The sapwallah continued
his search with impassioned gestures
bordering On the comic; and in less
than second the tomril dropped, the
reptile was flung into the air and de-
scended, when the Indian, with sri-
umphant coolness, presented to me
the tail Of frightful cobra, over 3
feet in length. The hideous REPTILE
struggled; but with rapid move
ment the charmer seized him by the
back Of the head, and, opening his
] Jaws, showed me the horrible fangs
which distill death. This proved
that there was no trickery, for the
serpents which the charmers carry
about with them are always fangless.
He then took pair of small p1ncers
and carefully drew out every fang,
thus rendering the reptile powerless
to harm. Nevertheless, whether by
accident or from brayado he received
a slight puncture, and the blood
flowed from one Of his fingers; but
without any emotion, he sucked the
blood forcibly, and applied a small
black porous stone to it, which he
represented to be an antidote against
the bite of the cobra. I bought a
piece Of him F.; but, on analyzing it, I
found that the stone was nothing
more than calcined bone of very
fine texture"

BETTER INVESTIGATION NEEDED
IN RAILROAD ACCIDENTS.

The English accident did, however,
establish one thing, if nothing else it
showed the immeasurable superiority
OF the system of investigation pursued
in the case of railroad accidents in
England over that pursued in this
country. There a trained expert at:
ter the occurrence of each disaster
visits the spot and Sits the affair to
the very bottom, locating response
bility and pointing out distinctly the
measures necessary to guard against
its repetition. Here the case goes to
a coroner's jury, whose findings as a
rule admirably sustain the ancient re-
putation Of that august tribunal. It
is absolutely sad to follow the course
OF these investigations, they are con-
Quoted with such an entire disregard
of method and lead to such made
quate conclusions. Indeed, how
could it be otherwise? The same
man never investigates two accidents,
and for one investigation he does
make be IS competent only in his own
esteem. .-4He atlantic for December.

Is il the Color Line {!

From the Clarion
The following expression Of the
Republican Vice President, Henry
Wilson, an original abolitionist,
dyed in the wool, sounds very
much like cclor-lineism:
Although a Massachusetts, and
New England man, and party
man in every sense Of fidelity to
my public associates, and the gem
eral policy we began to Introduce,
l am positive in the belief that we
must get WHITE MEN, born or
bred in the South, to rule it, and
that State Governments of ne
groes, and a handful of white men
WHO ABSORB TIE PATRONAGE,
and are Republicans FOR THE
SAKE OF 1T, will not stand up
Again he says:
"Wc want the best intelligence
of the WHITE MEN Of the South,
and have lost patience with this
experiment Of administering large
States by q few whites-conycni-
emily fcw-and all the rest ne
gr0cs."
This language is extortcd by the
mockery OF governments in the
Southern States, where II "conve-
niently few" whites ard sail the
rest negroes have ruled. The
ignorance, corruption and dcmor-
alizing and degrading influences
of these governments have bro't
conviction to man so firm in his
political sympathies aud cmbitter-
cd in his prejudices, as Hon. Hen
ry Wilson. The discouraging iea-
turc of it is that in Mississippi,
the abuses which have compelled
such expressions as these from re-
luctant lips like the Vice Presi-
dents, have grown from bad to
worse. The controlling element
in the last Legislature was ihiiu-
|itcly worse than the one which
preceded it, and (the past being a
criterion) the next will be worse
than tho last, If the people who
have capacity to comprehend the
situation, do not exert themselves
to avert the evil. The ignorant
majority who have controlled the
present Legislature have acted
upon the idea that il should be
used as II corporation for the benc-
ii of themselves and the class they
represent. They had no higher
conception of the objects Of taxa
ton than to obtain money for their
individual expenditure. For cx-
ample, it was a notorious fact, to
which the Pilot has borne witness,
that The biennial session constitu-
tioual amendment was opposed by
the negro members because II
would deprive them of the annual
allowance which they are enjoy
ing from the State treasury under
the present system.
