Cherish the Public School.


Let me give you bit of advice.
Let me say to you that you have a
common country. in which the school
house is often seen-in which there
are more men who can read and
write than in any part of America.
Cherish your public schools. Let
education among you be free-free
as the dew which falls from heaven.
Let no religious differences prevent
you from supporting the public
schools. The State knows no reli-
gion, and should not teach any. But
it should compel every man to have
his child educated. Any man who
cheats his children out of education
cheats the state, As one who ap-
preciates the difficulties attending
upon the free government of the
United States-and you have free
government here, tool believe
that the great trouble of the future
viii be want of education. With
good education there will be good

said: AS it was to no particular
section that slavery was owing, so
it was to no particular side that the
freedom Of the colored race was due.
It is true that the rebel armies fought
for slavery and the Union armies
for freedom, but in the beginning
both armies would have united TO
riyet their chains upon the limbs Of
the slaves. So strong was the feel
ing that the Union soldiers threaten
ed to throw down their muskets and
go home If the colored race should
be Incorporated in the army. But
when the war became doubtful, and
the Southern armies. defiant and vic
torious. threatened Washington, then
and not till then were the services OF
the .colored men accepted, and from
that moment the freedom of their
race was assured. Amidst the crash
Of jarring sections, born in blood and

Strange to say, the trade and commerce of
the United States seems to have become a
more interesting topic for editorial considera-
ton that before the Centennial Exhibition.
The Standard first set the example, but all
the metropolitan journals now bloom out
periodically in forid or caustic articles upon
the commercial future of our nation. The
Times has had two noteworthy editorials upon
American topics this week. On Thursday.
referring to the forthcoming exhibition at
Paris in leading article, it expresses grave
doubts as to whether British manufacturers
are alive to modern industrial progress. 1t
deplores the marked inferiority of the English
laborer. ''The comparison which is forced
between England's exhibits at the Philadel-
phia Exposition and those of the United
States and Germany was not altogether satis-
factory to Great Britain. The products Of
United States industry, even after making
due allowance for the fact that the Exhibi-
tion was held within it's own area, too often
surpassed England. 1t was more evident
than even that American manufactures indi-
cate the presence of presiding intellect

[From the New York Mercury.l
A little girl ten years ofage, named Mary
Meehan, was brought into the City Prison at
l O'Clock in the morning, at San Francisco,
and told a strange story of temptation and
crime. 1t appears that she left her home, on
Minna street, three or four days ago, at the
solicitation of two larger girls, named Sulli-
van, and took room IN the Waldo House, on
Market, between Third and Fourth streets.
The three girls procured money to pay for
their lodging by lill-tapping and petty thiev-
ing, until more extensive piece Of lhieving
was suggested to them by precious young
scoundrel named Tom Whltish, seventeen
years OF age One evening he induced the
girls to enter the jewelry store of Mr.. Miller,
on Fourth street, while the proprietor was at
supper in the back room, and steal a lot of
jewelry. They secured about $500 worth of
rings, and made their escape without attract
ing the attention of Mr.. Miller, and turned over
large part of the booty to Whtish. The
Meehan girl sold one ring to a girl named
Bowen for fifteen cents, and Whtish sold
one to a jeweler, giving the Meehan girl fifty
cents of the proceeds, with which she paid
for another nights lodging at the Waldo
House. The robbery was reported to the
police, who found the Meehan girl with some
of the stolen property in her possession.
Upon information the officers hunted up
Whitish, whom they fonnd concealed under
his fathers house on Miller Place, and CON-
PEELED him to disclose the hiding place of the
rings. Ffty-one rings were found buried in
the yard, and about ten more in the posses
sion of the girl. Whitish was booked for
grand larceny, and the Meehan girl for the
Industrial School, She says she was enticed
away and induced to steal by the elder Sui
livan girl, who is about fourteen years of

From the Detroit Free Pressl
The wife of man living near Topeka,
Kansas, reached Detroit on her way home
from the East yesterday, finding herself short
of funds, having lost $35 at Niagara Falls.
She went to hotel and telegraphed her hus-
band to forward her $50 at once. He isn't
the kind of a man to rush headlong into any
financial enterprise, and he stopped to find
out the cost of telegraphing the money.
When he had ascertained he waited till night
and sent half-rate message, saying he would
forward the money by mail. This wasn't
entirely satisfactory to wife paying three
dollars per day for board, but she had to
wait. In about three days the looked for
letter arrived, and the wife was SO mad that
she came near swallowing her false teeth.
The husband had inclosed the one-half por-
tion of three different ten-dollar bills, and ex-
planned in his letter:
eff these reach you safely will forward
the other halves upon receipt of telegram"
The way that little woman busted over to
the telegraph Office and sent him bowie-knives
and daggers and bullets made the stoical op-
orator wonder if she was some escaped lu-
natic. Over half the money will be used up
tor board by the time she gets it, and how
she is to reach home on the balance is what

Vegetable Railway wheels.

The infinite variety of purposes to which
paper is applied in the Empire of China has
astonished all Europeans who have visited
that country. They have literally found
paper everywhere and in all shapes and
forms. The japanese, however, with all
their ingenuity in this direction, would never
have dreamt of making paper wheels for rail-
way carriages. This, nevertheless, is being
done at Sheffield The paper wheels have
steel tires, made with an inside flange and
cast-iron boss. On each side of the boss and
tire, steel plates, 3-16 inch thick, are bolted,
and the space between the plates is filled with
compressed paper. The paper is composed
of what are known as ''straw boards" and
these are made to adhere to each other by
means of rye paste. The combined layers of
paper are next subjected tohydraulic pressure
to the extent of 1900 tons for the space of
four or five hours, and then dried in
heated air-bath. The final thickness of the
inches, and as may be imagined, the quantity
of board packed into this concentrated
space by the giant force of the hydraulic
ram is something enormous. Still certain
amount of elasticity remains to the substance,
and this-in union with its homogeniety and
singular smoothness of grain and texture
constitutes one of its highest qualifications
for the duty it will presently have to perform
Lathes, side-rests and sharp-cutting tools are
made to shape and compress the paper in
dices of the proper size, and under pressure
of 400 tons these are then forced into the
tires. The steel protecting plates are subse-
quently bolted to the inner and outer periph-
cries of the wheels. and after finishing touch
in the latter they are ready to be keyed on
the axles and placed under railway carriages.
1t is understood that experiments in America
and in this country have gone to prove the
great superiority of paper railway wheels
over those of sect or wrought-iron, and that
the brake, however suddenly and sharply .ap-
piled, does not injure them in the least. The
firm of John Brown g. Co., Sheffield, are,
we believe the exclusive makers in England
of the paper wheels, and several of the prin-
cipal railway companies have given large
orders for them.-Lond0m Echo.

Marriage i'm Massachusetts.

The conjugal condition of the population
of Massachusetts has ever been matter of
no small interest, involving, as it does, the
actual compulsion of thousands of females to
live as old maids, provided they remained in
the State to find a suitor. The statistics in
form US that "a per cent. or 9O7, ,592 of the
population are single; 645, ,245, or 80 per
cent, are married; "a, Isl widowed; and it
is also ascertained that of the single there is
an excess of 81 900 females. Respecting ages,
at 20, there are 677, while at 81, but 30, BOG,
and at %, there are 36, 1873. while at 26 only
20,O42. Again, at 80. there are 40, 736, while
at 80 the. number is much less, as it also is at
81. At IS, 40. As, IS, 60, 65, etc., the same
concentration appears. This is entirely owing
to the answers given by the people, many Of
whom preferring, for instance, to say they
are 45 rather than give an exact age either
way, while many are ignorant of their real
age. and almost invariably give the quinquen-
NAL division for guess. The average age
of all living males is q years months of
all living females. 81 years 10 months; while
from the Massachusetts Registration Reports
it is learned that the average age to which all
live is about 30. The average death age of
all who die above 20 is about 50, and the
average age of all person in the State above
20 is 40 years = months.

A Terrible story.

Lucy Ho0pers Paris Letter to the New York World]
The bright sunshine and balmy air tempted
me to lay aside my writing and go forth to
enjoy them. Leaning on my husbands arm,
was walking on the Rue de la PaiX, about
one block from the Eendome column, and
was looking up At the column itself, admiring
the effect produced 10y the dark bronze of the
shaft against the gold-fushed hue of the sun
| set sky, the hour being about 5 in the after
noon. Suddenly down the face of the column
fell ii human form with white and black
draperies tuttering in the air; it struck the
wreath OF immortelles that surrounds the
column ut its juncture with the pedestal, and
rebounded with such force that it was thrown
clear over the railing that surrounds the base
and fell into the centre OF the outside pave
ment.
l could net realize for a moment that had
really beheld that awful spcctacle-a human
being self-hurled into eternity, but such was
indeed the meaning OF what had seen. In {.
moment the PROSTATE figure was surrounded
by dense crowd. The emotion of the spec
tators was extreme and one old lady who had
chanced to be walking along the Rue de la
Paix near me burst out crying in her agita-
tioa. At my solicitation my companion went
forward, very reluctantly, 1t must be con-
fessed, to learn the particulars Of the horrible
event. The victim was young and neatly
dressed woman. She lay prone on the pave
ment as she had fallen, but no trace of blood
or mutilation was visible, as one of the by
standers had drawn her waterproof cloak
around her shattered head, that having been
the point that first struck the pavement. Her
shoes, q neat pair of black lasting boots, had
been forced from her feet by the fall, show
ing clean white stockings OF quality never
worn in France by the working classes. One
of her gar,ers, also jerked off by the fall, lay
near her-a dainty blue silk affair, with a
gilded clasp. She had, as afterwards learned,
gone most deliberately to work to execute her
purpose. She had concealed camp-stool
under her water-proof before making the
ascent Arrived at the top. she had profted
by moment when the guide was busted in
pointing out certain objects of interest in the
view to another party, had placed camp
stool there, mounted upon it, and so contrived
to Chamber over the high railing l passed
by the spot an hour later. The body had
long sine been removed, and the crowd was
gone; but a few bystanders still fingered un-
der the darkening sky, looking alternately up
at the summit of the gignatc shaft that
lowered above them and down at two GRIM
son strains upon the pavement, upon which
gravel had been hastily strewn, but which
still revealed a dusky and ominous red
through the pebbles and sand that tried to
hide them.

Moncure d. Conway tells the following
story of an irate British Judge: t'The court
room of Mr.. Justice B. was the scene of
rather an alarming outburst Of feeling on the
part of the Judge. A case came before him
presenting combination of every kind of
villainy inthe defendant, and as the clear evil
dence came out the Judge grew red and white,
and was fairly boiling when the time came
to charge the jury. Gentlemen of the jury
said the Judge, it is perfectly clear case,
and most nefarious one. The defendant
has unquestionably robbed the plaintiff, and
basely betrayed his daughter and abandoned
her in foreign land. II only wish it had
been my daughter. The lawyers gasped as
this thunder rolled, and behold the irate
Judge shaking his fist across the room at the
covering caitiff."

A Thrilling Bear story.

The man who entertained the crowd at the
Theatre Comique last week was unfortunate
enough to get himself in debt to some one,
who sent q constable to levy on his trained
bear. The constable repaired to the play
house, and showing the instrument of the
law with which he was armed, gained admit
lance behind the scene. With due solemnity
the levy was made. when it was discovered
that the officer had only bears skin with a
man in it. AS the levy was neither upon a
bears skin nor upon man, the officer of the
law retired, and the owner of the pet bear
Julia proceeded with his performance.
