A Dangerous Cargo.

There has been quite scare at Leicester
Junction over an accident that might
have been. On the Goth of January a
large quantity of nitro glycerine was traps-
ported past, destined for Port Henry.
There were thirty boxes of nitro glycerine,
of one hundred pounds each, all placed in
one car, and this car was stopped at the
Junction to receive more freight On en-
terng the car the boxes were found strewn
over the floor, and 30 to make room for
the other freight these boxes, with
their terrible contents, were care
lessly tossed to one end of the car,
as if they were common merchandise,
as indeed, the way bills so represented.
Ths car was loaded and started for its
destination, but ran of the track in Shore
ham, and was drawn some fifty rods in
that situation before stopping. The car
was left until the next day when by some
means the conductor learned that the car
was in part loaded with dangerous com
pound, and refused 10 have anything to do
with il. Word was sent TO the consignees
and teams were Immediately sent TO re-
move 1t. Ii Is supposed that the nitro
glycerlne being frozen was the reason II
did not explode. Query, where would
Leicester Junction have been II the Goth
Of January had been warm day2 Sc

National Educational Bureau.

The force Of an educational bureau at
Washington to supervise what the national
government has nothing to do with is thus
nealy disposed Of by the Evening Post
"Mr Cox's bill to abolish the federal bu-
reau Of education ought to pass, for two
reasons. In the first place the Uni
ted States properly have no jurisdic.
ton over the educational interests OF the
country; and, in the next place, the bureau
is doing nothing, and has done nothing to
promote them."-Neio York Independent.
This quotation from the Evening Post,
endorsed by the Independent, sounds strangely
as coming from journal claiming so much
intelligence aud Importance. Can it be that
q nation which owes its existence and pros
perity to the intelligence of its people, Sc
cured through its system of public schools,
and whose very destiny depends upon the
prosperity Of these schools in the future,
has no jurisdiction over the educational in
terests of the country" IF so, America has
no jurisdiction over the principal agency to
be employed to secure her own preservation
and perpetuity. Let this doctrine be estab.
lished and acted upon, and Ihe doom Of the
nation is sealed. Indeed, we'll nigh did il
perish in the late rebellion from this very
cause. Had the United States government.
10 the beginning, taken this matter in hand
and established and maintained free schools
in all the states of our Union, we believe the
rebellion would never have occurred, and to
our free schools at the North we owe the
suppression. Now that the country has
walked up to consciousness of our recent
peril, and the great Importance of universal
education, are we to hear the stupid bowling
that "the United States has no jurisdiction
over the educational interests Of the coun.
try ?" must the educational bureau Of Wash
iDgton, the Jerusalem of our educational
world, the central power and regulator Of
our national educational system, and the
most efficient agency fer the diffusion Of in-
telligeuce, and the propagation OF sound

who dabble in politics, or cater to the taste

lievs it. There must be intelligence and
patriotism enough left in Congress and in
the nation to save us from such a humii.
ating and disgraceful step.
But it is gravely said that 1.-THE bureau is
doing nothing, and has done nothing to pro-
mote the educational interests in the coun-
try" All We have to say on that point is,
that no man who knows the facts as to the
work done in that Office would dare make
such statement. The educators and school
mon Of the nation know that this statement
is false. They understand what Mr. Bar
nard and General Eaton have done and are
doing to advance the cause of public educa-
ton, and would vote to man to sustain aud
enlarge the usefulness of this bureau.

and have actually increased the demand and
price Of labor.
And this fact has been demonstrated in
the experience Of the last twenty-five years
in this country. Aud what are the facts be.
fore us ? Take the railroad as substitute
for teams, stages aud carriages for the trans.
portation of merchandise, and the moving
population. True, thousands OF horses and
the men who drove them were thrown out OF
that kind Of employment by the use Of the
iron.horse, but the vast increase Of facilities
for travelling and the transportation Of mer.
chandi has so much increased the demand
for the labor Of beast aud man IN other chan.
nels Of industry, that there has not only been
no loss, but great increase Of advantage to
that very class Of laborers who we're sup.
posed to be injured. Compare the present
price Of horses, and the wages Of men 10 the
various departments Of labor with forty years
ago, aud the fallscy will appear. As mat
ter Of fact, the demand for labor and the
wages paid have constantly increased since
the introduction Of labor.saving machines,
aud at the same time the products which the
labOrer must consume have been cheapened
by the same means.
Therefore, we may not look upon these
improvements Of modern civilization as the
cause of our financial embarrassment, nor as
the enemy Of the working classes. Rather
may we regard our machinery for sewing
knitting, pegging, spinning, weaving, moving
and reaping, and our engines for travelin.
upon the land, aud navigating the ocean o.
the greatest Importance for the present ant
future material prosperity of the nation.
