EDUCATIoX AND THE CENTENNIAL.--A
meeting Of the Committee on Education APP
pointed by the Delaware State Centennial
Commission was held at the office of Super
intendent Harlan, in Wilmington on Mon
day. The Committee consists Of d. w.
Harlan, (President) Wilmington; J. II.
Groves, Smyrna VIM II. Purnell, Newark
and Charles Brown. Dover. All these gen.
tlemen were present on Monday.
The object of the meeting was to take
action relative to an application for space
in which to make suitable educational
display at the Centennial. A full inter.
change of sentiment was had, and it was re.
solved to decline to make the application.
The reasons which impelled to this course
were the nearness of our city and State to
the Centennial, and the fact that the Com
mittee had not the means to prepare foI
the display. After his appointment Super
intendent Harlan submitted the matter tC
the Wilmington Board of Education, and
during last month Il resolution was adopted
declaring it to be inexpedient to make any
display at the Centennial, but at the same
time it was thought advisable to put the
city schools in good condition so that should
any visitors arrive they may be shown tC
good advantage. This plan, while no
advised by prominent educators in othe
! States, was nevertheless approved by them
Our educational display will therefore b,
only such as may appear in the improve
ment of thesch themselves.-Commereia

AN UGLY AFFAIR IN SUssEx.-Last week
a man named Collins, down in Broadkiln
Hd., Sussex CO., penned lot of strange
hogs that had been eating his corn, and
when a neighbor claimed them Collins re-
fused to let him take them until he had
paid for the damage they had done. That
night lot Of masked men went to Collins
and took the hogs, and when Collins went
out and discharged his gun into the dark
ness the masqueraders returned the fire,
and put several bullets into the door in
which Collins and his wife were standing.
The matter looks like an ugly affair for the
masqueraders. Collins was acting in con.
formity with the law.

A TIMELY HINT.-SAm. Townsend has
written letter calling attention to the ar
rest and imprisonment of persons for petty
thieving, thus filling the Jail, and subjecting
the county to a heavy expense. For in
stance a poor colored man was arrested for
stealing bucket of COAL and imprisoned
until the meeting of the Court in May next,
at a cost of about $2l6. Mr.. r. suggests
that it would have been much wiser for the
Trustees Of the Poor to have given the man
a bucket of coal, thus opening up the ques-
ton whether it would not be much cheaper
for the community to look after the poor,
keep them in New Castle for months at the
public expense.

The CoLORED EvANGELIsT-Mrs.A Amanda
Smith, the colored Evangelist, who has been
i'll WHINING gton for three weeks, laboring in
the cause of religion, has wonderful powers
of eXhortation. Her language is plain, but
delivered with force that is at once effec-
tive. She stated to a representative of the
Herald yesterday, that she never chooses a
text, but she judges her audience and its
needs by the pulse of feeling manifest
among them what she said came with spon-
taniety, and the remarks applied directly
to them. She preached the gospel in its
plainest form, so that the most ignorant
could comprehend of what she was speak
ing, and she had always found it the most
successful way.
Mrs. Smith in appearance 3 tall, and
straight as an Indian Queen, with an angu
lar form, and an eye that is searching in
its glance and full of expression. The fea
lures are regular, and her color is a shade
between black and the color known as the
dark brown gingerbread. In conversation
she is easy and afiable, tinged with quick
ness in expression of ideas that embraces
great deal in terse language and in very
short time. She dresses plainly, wearing
the costume adopted by Quakeresses, anC
arranged with precisely the same sim
plicity
She was born in Hartford county, Mary
land, near Long Green, but removed t.
Philadelphia with her parents when yer,
young. She had the advantages of yer,
limited education, but improved all sh
could her small opportunities. She has ex
horted for sometime but has only been il
the work ofevangelism for five years, durin
which time she has met with considerab!
success, and that her manner Of speaking
effective, is shown by the number of convel
sons that have been made under he
preaching in Wilmington, which has bee
ninety-fve. She remains in Wllmingto
one week longer when she will visit lIal

day, in the case of the Old South Church of
Boston, Ia Revolutionary rclcj which is
now before the court on a proposition by
the society to sell the property. lie gave
1t as his opinion that the property should
be sold, on the ground that the secular as
sociations connected with the building had
tended to destroy its spiritual character.
DIR. Manning said that he very seldom had
an inquiry from strangers about the reli-
gious services at the church, but he was
very often asked into which window Warren
climbed, and if this was the church where
the British stabbed their horses.

Wong Chin-foo, the Chinese lecturer,
went to Roman Catholic church in
Nashua, N. H., few Sundays ago, and being
attired in his rich native costume, one of
the doorkeepers politely showed him into
a front pew near the altar. Seeing the
" distinguished foreigner among the con-
gregation, the officiating priest preached
an elaborate sermon, in which, beginning
at the creation of the world, he sketchcd
its history up to the present time, and un-
folded the entire plan of salvation as held by
the Romish Church, the whole discourse,
which was avery able one, being aimed appar-
emily at the Chinese lecturer, with q view tu
his conversion to Christianity. Soon after
ward Wong was able to give the reverend
gentleman quid pro quo; for having to lee
ture in Nashua the same evening, to a very
crowded audience, he enlarged at some
length about the religion Of Confucius. held
him up to the admiration Of his auditors
and concluded highly interesting lecture
by an appeal to his hearers to abandon
Christianity and come to Confucius.

President Stearns of Amherst College. in
a recent lecture before his class, deprecated
the present system of education as Injurious
to the memory. He said the Iindus trans
mitted without error the three books of tho
Vedas, one of which consists of ,0lO hymns,
through the centuries till Solomon's time,
about 1000 before Christ, by memory alone,
acquiring them from oral Instruction.
thing which has no parallel at the present
day. The multiplicity of subjects now pre-
sented to the scholar, he thought, rendered
the acquisition of a retentive memory next

A RAID ON THE DELAWARE SMUGGLERs.-
Special United States Agent Major Morris,
accompanied by United States Marshal
Dunn, of Wilmington, went to Lewes last
Wednesday and captured Captain William
Williams and Andrew Baker for smuggling
They were taken to Wilmington and had
a hearing before Commissioner Smith
Both were held in $500 bail to await the
action of the Grand Jury. There is band
of smugglers at Lewes, and these are the first
of the batch caught. Others will be arrested
soon. 1t has caused great excitement in
that place. Williams confessed to buying
sugar, segars and gin from vessels in the
Breakwater, and landing the goods on
shore without paying the duty required by
the government. The sugar was smuggled
about year ago. 1t is intimated that
nearly half the men in Lewes are frightened
over these arrests, and each one fears that
it is his turn next. They clan together
there, it is said, and try to smuggle in
sugar, coffee, &C., and thus get their grocer
les cheap, right from the vessels. Both O
the arrested parties were in the Unltec
States Court connected with the trials one
year ago-Baker as defendant and Williams
as witness. Baker then pleaded guilty
and was fined 500.
