COUNTY SUPERVISION.

What would be thought of farmer,
or manufacturer, who should employ a
gang of laborers, set them to work, ap
point over them no foreman, and sell
dom, if ever, go near them himself to
see thar his work had been faithfully
performedl Yet this is just what is being
done in our uugraded schools. How
many teachers in these schools are ever
oheered by the presence of parent or
directorl In our town schools IL comDe-
tent and skillful Superintendent is EN-
every school, and see that the methods
OF instruction are of that character
that shall advance the pupils therein.
We are glad TO learn that School
Commissioner Smart has matured an
amendment to our present school law,
which provides for the supervision
of our country schools, with little, if
any. additional expense. Such an
amendment will meet the hearty con-

schools. Teachers iu the counties will
then be directly responsible for the work
they perform. They will be visited in
their school roons by an experienced
and capable educator, who will advise
with and assist them in the performance
Of their duties. Nothing that could be
done would add more to the efficiency
az our present school system.

THE MOSEL EXPLOSION.
The Dynamite Crime F0reShadOWed - Previous
Plans far The Destruction or SHIPS.


We may observe with reference to the
dynamite crime at Bremerhaven, says
the London Times of Dec. IS, that, afro
cious as such crime appears, it is by
no means new expedient, in principle
at all events. In 1873 Admiral Pothuau,
French Minister to Marine, issued a cir
cular warning insurance agents that an
American was trying to sell a small tor
pedo for destroying over-insured ships
with impunity. Ii looked like block
of coal, of about six inches by three
inches, and could he put into the coal
bunkers without exciting suspicion.
Once there it would, when thrown into
the furnace, explode after fixed time,
thus enabling the captain and crew to
get away, or it might be exploded as it
lay. The story was denounced as a
sensation intended TO help Plimsoll, !"
but the Post. of Birmingham, received
one of these machines, which, it is de
clared, would perform the duties re
auired. Som after We had extracted
paragraph TO thseI 1T from the Specta-
tor, We pI,..sl.i letter from II. F.
Hemming, Consul for Venezuela, CThe
Times, June l3, 1S-3,) in which he con-
firmed the previoI account, and added
that Venezu-Ia III been fixed on as the
the scene OF one Of the earliest acts in
this hellish plot, as he justly character
lied the attempt. A gentleman called
on Mr. Hemming on the 10th of April,
1873, saying that he had some informa-
ton to impart which was Of great i'm
portance to Venezuela, and then made,
upon request, a written statement. Mr..
Hemming. ia communicating to US the
substance of the statement. thought it
prudent to suppress the names, but it
was TO the effect that a sailing vessel
had then left or was on the eve of leav-
ing port in France for one OF the prin-
cipal ports of Venezneia. \ native of
France, vino had for some years previ-

resided in Venezuela, was said TO have
sailed in this vessel, taking with him a
supply of these ''infernal machines,
expressly adapted TO the secret destrue-
ton of steamships. Fortunately, when
this information came to the Venezuelan
Consul, the West Indian mail steamer
was on the point of sailing, and Mr..
Henming lost no time in sending full
particulars direct to the authorities at
the Venezuelan port in question, and TO
the Government at Caracas. Subse

ly like piece of coal. He was told that
others were made larger, even TO the
size of mans head, but always to re-

Hemrning had another visit from the
same person, who said he had recently
heard that there were some persons in
the Venezuelan port who We're interested

were preparing a gigantic fraud. The

him from the Secretary OF one of the

worthy their attention. Mr Hemming
had no doubt tue plot had very wide
ramiiications, and therefore thought IL
his duty to make the intended viIlaiuy
as widely known as possible. After some
other correspondence, we published a
letter on June II from the gentleman
who gave Mr.. Hemming his information.
This exyachtsman had learned, be
wrote, the startling fact that several
persons from different parts had OBJ
tanned some of the machines, and be had
informed each Consul and legation in
teresJed. All he had done had been
communicated to the Police and the au-
thOrities, and his name and address were
well known to all concerned. Headed

gentleman appeared to regret the public
ity given TO the information, for he |
thought that would render the investi- |

haps, when insurance agents were put on
their guard, and merchant vessels were
liable to be suspected, it became safer to
attempt to deceive ship-owners and to
make passenger vessels crowded with
helpless emigrants the medium of fraud.
But it would be quite premature to con-

TRUTH OF CHRISTIANITY i claim for
Christianity more than sufficient evi-
dence to prove its truth and divine or
lgin. Its light increases at every step of
honest inquiry. Proof after proof adds
its radiance, till tine mind is filed with
the light of truth, just as, at the close of
a summers evening twilight, star after
star flashes out from its hiding in the
sky, until the whole broad arch of
heaven is lighted up in one blaze of
glory. 1t just here that modern doubt
makes one of its damaging mistakes.
Some one argument of Christianity is
criticized by an able mind, and at once
it is assumed that, this argument being
broken, the whole structure must fall.
Skepticism forgets that there was IA hun
dred others which hold, whatever be the
fate of this, and that all united make
the strength of the Christian argument.
1t forgets that the slender thread which
the silkworm spins, though you might
break it with your little finger, yet may
be twisted into cable strong enough to
bear the strain of locomotive or to
hold at anchor all the shipping in New
York harbor. Just so with the evidences
of Christianity. You do not fairly test
their strength till you see them in their
united force. Yet there are many sepa-
rate, infallible proofs, each one of which,
standing alone, is sufficient to satisfy
any doubling Thomas if he is honest and
fair-minded.-Reo. S. A. W. Je,oett, cf
