Smyrna times., 1876-11-22

AN item in leading New York daily
gives a comparison of the number of educa-
ted and illiterate white men in the differ
ent States. The figures are taken, we sup
pose, from the last census report. The
showing for Delaware is as follows: There
are, it seems, 24,Sll white men in this
State, and out of this number there are
1886 who are uneducated. In other
words, IA men in every 100 of our white
male population cannot read and write.
This is rather bad showing, but it is not
as bad as some of the other States. In the
Carolinas for instance, % white men in a
100 are illiterate. In Nevada, one of the
new States, and having only few less
white men (24,245) in it than Delaware
has, there are only 474 of them illiterate
or . to the 100. None of the northern
portion of the Union, from California t.
New Jersey, has higher average than
per cent.

ing the army to prepare for active service.
He has placed his brother, the Grand Duke
Nicholas, at the head of the invading army,
and has also designated the division COM
manders. Says the New York Tribune: In
its diplomatic aspects the crisis is mena-
cling. England shows signs of indecision,
and is disposed to be satisfied with the
"integrity" of the Ottoman Empire instead
of the independence which Lord Bea'
consfsld deemed of vital Importance.
This change of base opens the way for the
partition of Turkey, and gives Russia
further reason to insist on those "guaran'
tees which disturb the European cabinets
1t now looks as if the truce will be devoted
on all sides to preparing for a great con

The Board of Education in Wilmington
seem to be in a "mux." 1t appears that
the "book committee" of the Board
adopted Harper's Geography for use in the
public schools, and without waiting for the
action of the full Board in the matter,
ordered a lot of the books. Boughman,
Thomas e. Co. were to furnish them. But
the Board declined to adopt the books,
because they preferred some other text
book on geography. In the mean time
Boughman, Thomas & Co., upon the
authority of the book committee, as they
feel prepared to show, ordered 750 copies
of the Harper book and ordered them to
be delivered to Mr.. Harlan the School
Superintendent of the city. But the Super
intendent declined to receive them, upon
the authority of the Board of Education
The Board adopted Mitchell's, instead o
Harper's, we believe. A lawsuit now seems
to be the only way out of the difficulty
B. T. &Co., backed by Harper Il Brother
have employed w. c. Spruance to take tn
matter in hand and secure payment for tn
books.

How THE CENTENNIAL IS FADING AWAY
The great Centennial is fading away with
really marvellous rapidity. When the an
nouncsment was made that notwith.,tnd
ing the formal closing of the EXh,t. VI
the 10th the Fair would still be open for
some time as usual, it was believed that the
Exhibition would be preserved essentially
perfect for some weeks, and possibly until
the setting in of cold weather. A few ex-
hibitors might withdraw, it was thought,
but the bulk of them would desire to remain
as long as visitors continued coming. But
in point of fact the stoppage of the big
engine on the afternoon of the 10th was the
signal for a general and instantaneous de.
molishment Of the great show. By noon oi
the 18th, every building was in confusion
Sections were that early boarded off and ex
hibits were being actively packed and re
moved. The transformation in these few
days has been marvellous, and although &
trip through the grounds is not very com
Portable thing just now, it is worth making
if only to make the contrast between affair
at present and as they were less than weel
ago. A very large proportion of American
goods, not designed for the Permanent Ex
hibition, have been already removed; tn
foreign goods are slower in removal. OWN
to the Custom House delays, but grea
quantities OF them are already packed
Main Building and Machinery Hall lool
about as they did on the Goth of April, whe
it was thought to be impossible to get read
by the opening day; from all of which
may be gathered that tearing down is a
easier process than building up.
