The II on. James Monroe, ofOhio,
delivered an address on Wednesday
last, on "'The National Government
and Popular Educatian," before the
Ohio Teachers Association at Put.
in-Bay, and after satirically referr-
ing to the self-complacency of the
average American on the education
al question, he hurled the following
staggering facts, gathered from the
last United States census, at the as
sembled pedagogues. There are
5,G5S, 600 persons in the United
cannot write, and the number that
cannot read is put at moro than q
million less but q larger number is
undoubtedly nearer the true meas
nre, for the reason that heads of
families are not disposed 10 report
to the census-taker more ignorance
in the family than really exists.
Hence the opinion has been held by
eminent statisticians that to obtain
the true number of the illiterate,
thirty per cent. should be added 10
the number found in the census Ia
bles and it is well known that men
will admit inability to write much
more readily than inability to
read. OF the whole number of H.
literate 2,790,O00 are colored; the
number of native white illiterate is
put down at $50, 900. Should the
American at any time be tempted
to become boastfnl in. regard TO the
intelligence of his countrymen, he
has only to remember that over two
millions of our native white are IL
literaie the total white llliterate,
including foreigners, is put down at
2,S52, 600, q number larger than the
total colored by 62,OO0. OF our IL

ages of ten and twentY-one years ;
of these about half are below fifteen
and half above that age again, of
our illiterate 1,6l9, 600 are male
adults, and Of these il is estimated q
million and 3 half are legal voters.
This is nearly one-fourth of the
whole number of persons who vot-

ALFALFA,

e. A. Logan, our resident minis
at Santiago, Chilli, in a letter to the
Commonwealth, gives some very
valuable information about this
grass. He Gays:
"Alfalfa is the great cattle and
stock grassof alarge portion ofSouth
America. and was introduced into
California from Chill and Peru.
Many bOtanists believe it TO be 8
native of Media, whence its name,
Lucerne G rass, though it has been
cultivated in the south of Europe
from almost prehistoric antiquity"
According TO Mr.. LOgan's letter
It is adapted to almost any soil, but
thrives best on bright, rich soil,
having a good proportion of aka
line basis, and the poorest growth is
made on damp, sticky clay soil. 1t
grows at sea level in the scorching
sun, or at an altitude of six thou.
sand feet or more under the snow.
He speaks of an estate that has q
field of alfalfa thirty years since the
planting, still making q hardy and
vigorous growth. Alfalfa is q per-
ennial plant, and obtains wonderful
rootage the roots having been
known to reach down to q depth of
fifteen feet to moisture, and will in
consequence of this habit Withstand
q dronth of very long duration.
From q field of this grass MANY
crops can be taken in one season. It
is said to make q growth of from one
to two feet in from ten DAYS to two
weeks. time. In Chill the seed sells,
when pure, for about SD per 100
pounds, and in California for about
$40. This grass has very nutri-
live value and is liked by stock bet
ter than our native grasses. Would
it not be well for our Kansas farm

worthy gentlemen have been turned

For this they were sacrificed and

ABOUT FLIES.

Wherever flies abound, there
cleanliness is in greater or less de-
gree wanting. These are the scav-
engers of the air, gathering upon
their wings and their bodies, as they
move about, the germs of disease
and the particles of filth that float
in the air. When they are quite
surcharged with these, which they
live upon, they alight and remove
the cargo to their mouths. When
they are rubbing their legs and
wings, as we often see them doing,
they are enjoying a savOry meal.
Sometimes they partake directly OF
solid and liquid foods, but their de-
pendence is upon what is invisible
to US. The horror of flies possessed
bV the tidy housekeeper is thus seen
10 be well founded, and the only
way to be clear of them is to have
nothing about the house or grounds
that will attract them. We may put
nettings in at our windows and
doors to keep them away and in
that case we need to be more par
ticular than ever about ventilating
and cleanliness, SO that there will be
no scavenger work for the flies to
do, else by excluding them we shall
only injure our own health.
