The House Of Representatives BY

d propa6itioa TO b submitted TO the
people, fcr rati6estioa = the nsxt

great sdditioa 10 ths public school
fund. n seqnirss = pail tar Of 90

condition precedent TO his exercise
Of the right Of suffrage, and this tax
is sss spart for the support Of schools,
In each county. II will have to re-
ssiys . majority in the senate as well
a. be ratified by the people, before il
becomes 8 part Of the constitution.
We suggest that it would be better
that this fund be every year in our
State bonds, and thus become a part
of the State school fund, the interest
of which should be devoted to school
purposes. Besides giving support to
the public schools, and in q few years
creating such q fund as would support
the entire school system it would have
the effect to get our State debt into
our OWE hands, and instead of send
ing q million Of dollars interest 70
New York and Boston to pay our
State interest every year, this interest
would annually all be kept at home,
and paid out to advance the cause of
education. Next to the education of
the people the payment of our State
debt or its being held at home instead of
abroad, is one of the greatest meas
ure of public benefit that can occu-
py the minds of our Legislators. We
hope our Senator will take this amend
ment under thoughtful consideration.

HURRY AND DEsPATCH.-No two
things are more different than hurry
and despatch. Hurry is the mark of
a weak mind-despatch of a strong
one. A weak man in Office, like q
squirrel in a cage, is laboring con-
tinually, but to no purpose, and in
constant motion, without getting on a
jot; like a turnstile he is in every
.body's way, but stops nobody; he
talks ag-eat deal, but says very lit
tie !; looks into everything, but sees
nothing !; and has a hundred irons in
the fire, but very few Of them hot,
and with those few that are, he is
sure to burn his fingers.

TO AVOID BEING SWINDLED.


Never listen to any proposition
which is commended to you 40 giving
opportunities for making money dis
honestly or by selling al article for
much more than it 10 worth. The
man who proposes to have you de-
fraud others will cheat you If he has
Q good opportunity.
As Q rule, when q stranger propos-
es to sell you any article at very much
less than its value. it is safe to de-
cline buying, unless you are a good
judge of the article.
Never make a purchase or contract
with a stranger when bis assurance is
the only evidence you have Of value.
Never sign . paper presented by a
stranger without reading it and being
sure you understand its character.
AS . rule, avoid engaging in enter
prises, however attractive they may
appear, if entirely outside your usual
business.
Other things being equal, buy and
sell in the market nearest home.

TUESDAY, MAY 10, 1877.

The fund for the support of the Rutland
free reading room is now nearly exhausted,
there being barely enough remaining to
keep it running some two or three weeks
lorCer. Our citizens will soon have the OPP
portunity CT deciding whether or not it
shall be continued. With them, not with
the managers, rests the determination of
this question. 1t cannot, of course, be
maintained without adequate funds, and We
feel that we can assure our citizens that all
contributions for this object will be judi
ciously and economically expended. The
managers of the room have the same inter-
est in its continuance that have the other
citizens of Rutiand-no more and no less.
We are sure we need not, at this late day,
say anything to convince the people of Rut-
land that this free reading room is an insti.
tuition that ought not to be permitted to die.
Its advantages to the community cannot be
overestirated. Its benefit TO young men a:
affording pleasant and useful recreation,
as a means of instruction, and as an i'm
portant adjunct to temperance, morality
and good order must be, are, freely con.
coded by all. And we can only, as veal
ago, commend it to the favorable consider.

what the answer will he to its appeal fol

The anxiety for the safety of the passen-
gers and crew of the Brussels was re-
lieved, Sunday, by the arrival of the City
of Richmond at New York which reported
meeting her In mid ocean, Monday April
23, with one of her shafts broken, and
making slow headwsy under sail. The
Brussels has now been out twenty five
days, and her case is paralleled by that of
the Tennessee, which was similarly dis
abled, in 1871, when, under the command
of Captain William G. Temple, she bring
ing the San Domingo commissioners home,
and whose arrival was almost the first hope
that the country had of her safety. 1t
seems well nigh impossible that, in these
days, steamers should be lost at sea, and
their fate only known by conjecture, as
had been for some days feared would be
the case with the Brussels, but there are
three notable instances of this kind. The
"President" left New York, March 0. 1841,
with full list of passengers and cargo, land
was never heard from. Her captain-Rob.
erts-was the first to cross the ocean in 0
steamer, and was, also, the first captain
loet on a steam vessel at seattle "Pa.
:" cidc" left Liverpool, for New York, Jan.
uary 10, 1866, with passengers and crew
to the number of one hundred and eighty
six, and cargo valued at two million dol
lars, and no tidings were ever had of her.
The "City of Boston" left New York, Jan
uary %, 1870, and Queenstown, January
20, with full crew and cargo, and ont
hundred and twelve passengers, and wal
never heard of again. Happily the Brus
sells is not to be added to the number.
