the last vestige ofcarpet-bag government

The Broken Dam A. wor..,,.,

WORCESTER, March 3O.-Later adyices
from the broken dam are of a more as.
surfing character. Large tree trunks,
bales Of hay and loads of dirt are
being thrown into the gap and the rush
of water is leSsened. A channel to CON.
meet the reservoir with the stream to
the east is being dug with haste. The
water in the reservoir is rapidly lower

widening tits thought the main structure
will stand. There is less Of force along
the expected path Of the food, but Of.
forts to lessen or avert the danger are
still in progress throughout the entire
length Of Kettle brook and Blackstone

the scene Of the trouble, which is grow.

IS keeping order in the crowd and bro.

market has been posted in the house, and
others are expected. Egyptian and Turk
ish securities are A~uctusting rapidly,
with prices Of the former from two to
four lower than yesterdays closing, and
the latter one to two lower. One reason
in connection with the movement in
Egyptian securities is, that heavy selling
orders have been received from Alexan-
dria, and in consequence of information
which has reached Egypt that the posi-
ton of the Disraeli ministry is seriously
undermined by the management Of the
grave affair and the persistency in fore

scribed by the National Educational As.
s~oeiation the examinations were confined
to the two wesks between the Island 18th
of February. IN Memphis at least two
months time vas taken up, ahd it Is
simply impossible for pupils and classes
to make up this lost time during the re-
mainder of the session. We learn that
the Nashville schools have prepared very
cseditable work by order of the
Board of Education. Some other schools
have likewise prepared work. Colonel
Trousdale urged the Memphis schools to
come in under the rules alluded to above,
but instead Of that the schools spent two
months in gettingup an o%stentatious and
comparatively vslueless display, to the
great detriment and injury of the public

SAYS the New York Sun Of the 28th:
The Jewish population Of this city are
stirred up by the attempts to Christian
ice their children in schools especially
established for that purpose. They
themselves are raising money to set up
schools Of their own faith for the relig.
ious instruction of their offspring; and
Rabbi Gottheil says there will soon be
enough of them for all the poor Jewish
boys and girls in the city. We do not
wish to see religious contentious that
will embitter the minds of any portion
of the community and so far as secular
education is concerned, the public schools
are open alike to Christian, Jew, heather
and unbeliever. But yet there may be
some benefit from these new movements
in behalf of the religious instruction Of
the Jewish children in the poorer quar-
of the city, wio have been as much
neglected as the Christian children in the
quarters. The Jewish population
Of New York is rapidly increasing"

THE Cumberland river is coming out

yesterday at Cincinnati. Planters below
may look out for high water, if not a dis

by men Of experience and judgment
that a greater volume of water will be
