We desire to call special attention to the ad-
vertisement of Prof. Tutwiler's School in our
columns day. Almost delightful and healthy
location. combined with careful Christian train
ing and the most thorough scholarship. has for
wears commanded the patronage Of the best peo-
ple of the South. During the war we had occa-
sion to test the hospitality and patriotism OF
Prof. Tutwiler and his noble family. and it will
be long before the memory Of our welcome shall
pass away The social influences. as well as
studious habits of that household will draw out
every good impulse and quality Of boydom. and
we cannot too strongly urge parents or guard
ans to patronize school SO admirably man
aged and so convenient Of access from this city.

From the N. Y. Tribune.l
Several little circumstances of politi-
cal significance have come to light
within the past few days which Illus
trate the beauty and majesty OF the
American system Of popular govern
ment In the first place it has been
discovered that the principal supporters
OF Mr.. Conkling in the Syracuse Con
vention were, almost without exception,
the representatives Of strong Demo
cratic districts. Mr.. A. b. Cornell,
General George II. Sharpe, the
ergetic engineers of the movement
for pressing our superb Senator
upon fhe National Convention, so little
represent the sentiments OF the people
that they could not even secure the vote
of the communities in which they live.
The Senator's own district went against
the Republican party ut the last election,
and there Is no reason why 1t should not
90 the same way again. And among the
delegates to the National Convention
the same curious rule prevails that Mr.
Conkling's principal supporters -Orton,
Phelps. Bailey, Gardner, Wheeler, Law
son. and SO on-are all accredited from
Democratic strong holds. The Repub-
lican districts do not seem to have
| wished for Mr.. Conkling; he has been
| forced upon the Convention by the
representatives Of minority.
This phenomenon is easily explained.
| Wherever the Republicans are pretty
well assured Of their local strength they
think what will be best for the party in
the State at large, or what will promote
it's interests in the greater contest for
the Federal Administration. Looking
Mt the situation from this elevated point
of view they are very far from desiring
the nomination of Senator Conkling
But your practical politician" who
lives in Democratic community, con
siders the subject in different aspect
For him the great thing is to redeem
his own particular district, because thai
means Office and money for, him
self individually; and he knows
OF no way to redeem 1t excep
by vigorous working OF the FED
eral machine. Hence he Is in favor c,
that candidate who commands most ef
fectually the services Of the Nationa
Government, can draw most freely upoi
its exchequer and employ at his viii
the multiform agency OF the best clvl
service on the planet in defeating tn
wishes OF a majority OF the voters. Per
haps it is going too far to say that in tn
: matter Of candidates he presumes to In
dulge at all in the luxury Of choice. Il
takes the goods the gods at Washingto
provide, understanding perfectly tina
he can get nothing from any othe
source. All that he wants is a cand
: date in whose interest the machine wi
be driven to its full capacity.

Mr.. Key, of Tennessee, was the only
Democrat who voted for the resolution.
He said he was glad the late war was
fought out and was over with. me
South was not wholly to blame in the
war Slavery existed many years ago,
and was projected by the Constitution
He spoke highly Of the colored people
and their fidelity to the whites during
the war. and thought the people OF his
State were willing to protect them ana
aid them. The South was poor and
weak. and wanted peace. 1t was time
to forget that there was South or "a
North The war was over, and the con
ouerors had right to enjoy the results
Of their victory He was willing TO
admit that the terms granted by
the yictors were much more liberal
and maCnanimous than he expected. lie
was anxious to have the South acqulescs
in the result and accept the sltuatlon.
Could not the North be asked to bear
with them, and help them to overcome
their past difficulties, and make this a
land OF peace and prosperity? he
should vote for the resolution. even
though he should be the only member
OF his party to do so. II this state OF

THE FIRST DISC0VERY OF FIRE.

A curious paper, by Professor Jolly, an
pears IN the Rerue Scientifque, in which
the writer inquiries by wuom aud when fire
was fret discovered. Abiding to the ia
Ole OF Prometheus, he finds it of Indian
origin III the Vedas the god OF fire, 4 qni
Compare with the Latin Ignis), is conceal
eo In secret place whence the god Matar-
lshVan forces him out, and makes him com
municate the celestial fire to Mauou, the
hrst man. The very name of Prometheus
Is traceable to the Vsdas, aud calls to mud
the process employed by the ancient Brah
m'hs to obtain tue sacred fire For this
purpose they used d stick called pramatha
which they ignitcd 10y friction: the prefex
prG gives the idea of taking by force, q
circ umstacce which strengthens the evi.
dence afforded by the resem blapce of that
word to Prometheus. There were SO !eral
ways for obtaining fire by friction the
most primitive Que consisted in rubbing
Two pieces OF dry wood against each other:
out tins was Improved in course of time A
SUCK was made to slide very fast up and
down In groove then came the "fire
drill" consisting in a piece of wood having
cavity In which a stick was inserted
which was pressed upon by the operator
VINO at the same time made it turn very fast
after the fashion OF a wlmble. The Brah
MINIS used this drlll, but with a cord rolled
around 1t, by pulling which they gave an
alternate rotatory motion to the stick
Another mode of obtaining fire was that of
striklhg two f'nts together, etc. Professor
Jolly now arrives ut the question as to
whether prehistoric man was IN possession
OF frey The Abbe Bourgeois goes SO far as
to say that IT was known as early as the
mlocene period, because in the sands of the
Orleanlas he has found piece of artificial
paste havlng ciuders adhering to it, and
lying III the midst of bones of the mastodon
and dinoterlum. Our author considers the
thing not imposeibie, but not sufficiently
proved; nevertheless he is positive that
the most ancient quaternary man did use
tire; many tire-places with ashes, ciuders,
nall calcined bones, aud fragments of rude
pottery having unquestiopa0 iy been fouod
In caverns pertaining to the period of the
reindeer, the beer, and polished stone
