A NATIONAL SCHOOL FUND

The wisdom of Legislation upon the part
of Congress in aid of the States for educat-
ing the whole people in those branches OF
study which are taught in the common
schools of the country is no longer ques-
ton. The intelligent judgment of the cOun-
try goes still further, regarding it as Con-
stitutional and eXpedient for the General
Government to extend to technical and
higher education such aid as is deemed
essential to the general welfare and to our
due prominence among the enlightened
and cultivated nations of the world.
The ultimate settlement of all questions
of the future, whether of admins
tration or finance, depends upon the
virtue and intelligence of the people, and it
is vain to hope to perpetuate free Govern
ment without means of insuring the intelli-
gence of those who are the source of power.
No less than one-seVenth of the entire voting
population of our country are yet unable to
read and write. 1t is encouraging to observe
in connection with the growth of fraternal
feeling in those States in which slavery for
merly existed, evidences of increasing inter-
est in universal education, and shall be glad
to give my approval to any appropriate
measures which may be enacted by Congress
tional aid the local systems of education in
these States and all the States.
A NATIONAL UNIVERSITY.
Having already invited your attention to
the needs of the District of Columbia with
respect to its public school system, | here
add that believe it desirable, not so much
with reference to the local wants of the
District, but to the great and lasting benefit
of the entire country, that this system should
be crowned with University in all respects
in keeping with the National Capital, and
thereby realize the cherished hope of Wash
ington on this subject.
OTHER RECOMMENDATIONS.
l also earnestly commend the request of
the Regents of the Smithsonian Institution,
that an adequate appropriation be made for
the aSfablISbmp of n National MnSPnnl

The request of providing for the preserva-

About 10 o'clock last evening. as B.
W. Morgan was sitting in front of the
International Hotel, a man approach
him from behind, with an open knife
in his hand, and attempted to assault
him. His suspicious action had, how.
ever, been watched by the bystanders,
and before he could accomplish his
purpose he was disarmsd. The
would-b be assailant was formerly ANAL.

a dispute with Mr.. Morgan relative to

A warrant was sworn out for his ar

A fair audience assembled at Bige-
lows Hall last evening, 1t being the
third night of the regular season. The
performance opened with the play of
East Lynne. a dramstization Of Mrs.
Henry Woods powerful novel of that
title. 1t is an emotional piece and one
that appeals to the ~sympathies and
tender feelings of all theater-goers.
The tears that have been shed by the
softer sex over the woes OF the wife in
her struggles with duty, and the COM
misseration extended TO the many &C.
~tresses who have assumed hat char
acter, Is something wonderful. Proba-
bly, no piece ever put upon the boards
has attained q wider popularity or
been more literally patronized. The
performance last evening was no ex.
ception to the rule. From the rising
to the falling of the curtain the audi
ence followed The development Of the
plot with eager attention, and an
nounced by their applause their IN
bounded satisfaction and appreciation.
Mrs. Sawtelle was q charming Lady
Isabel Vane and her rendition Of the
part stamped her as an emotional
actress OF q high order. Sawtelle
as Sir Frances Levison was at home
10 the character, and his acting was by
no means the least feature OF the play.
The balance of the cast showed famil-
iarity with their lines, and the piece
proceeded to the end smoothly and
without a hitch. Leon Samwells fol-
lowed, and amused the audience for
the space of ten minutes with his won
derful agility and dexterity. He Is
foremost in his specialities, and has no
rival az a gymnast. The vocal efforts,
and terpsichorean acts of Johnny
Keller, were well received. Tho con-
Guiding farce excited the disabilities of
the assemblage, and the mirth provoke
ing after piece vas intermingled with
shouts Of laughter from the auditors.
Tonight, David Garrick-a stage gem
will be presented, with the full force
of the company in the cast.
