CARNINALS,

The old European custom of hold
ing carnivals each year in the prin-
cipal cities IS every year coming into
greater prominence IN the southern
part of this country. The carnivaIs
which are held on the Corso in Rome,
in st. Marks Square in Venice, on
Augustus Platz in Leipsic, and in va
rious other cities in Europe, are the
greatest festivals of the year, and are
a source of merry making and good
feeling to all who participate. In
Memphis on Monday the day was eel
ebrated with due form and ceremony,
and the King appeared on the scene
mounted on a real live elephant, and
with baggage train of ten camels
Besides the usual number of Counts
and Princes and other nOtables in the
procession. a we'll grown baby was
carried in an immense gold-like crib,
and into its possession was placed the
key Of the city by his Majesty, the
King. Then the baby was proclaimed
the baby King of every household,
and the fairy of queens. The playing
Of the bands, and the ridiculous acts
Of the participants continued until the
exercises Of the day were concluded.
The celebration of this festival was
not confined to Memphis alone, but |
,ther cities in the south also followed |
he custom, and an era of enjoyment
prevailed.

The decision in the Louisiana case
will probably turn upon the question of
admitting evidence. This point in the
Florida case determined the result, and
the Republicans are confident that the
members of the Commission will not re-
verse their own rulings. If this question
of evidence should be decided against
the Democrats, then their last hope
hinges upon the ineligible elector from
Oregon. The Republicans are every
where confident of success in the end,
and the opposite party is correspond
ingly disheartened.

EDUCATION IN ARIZONA.

It is with a great deal of pleasure
and qualification that we receive and
acknowledge the Reports upon the
educational interests of that Territory.
made from time to time by our valued
friend, Hon. A. p. X. Stafford, Gov
ernor of Arizona. Under a law of the
Territory, the Governor is made the
President of the Board of Education.
We have, as above intimated, taken
no little interest in the Governors Ia
bors and we are glad to note that his
jealous endeavors to perfect the school
system of his Territory are meeting
with the cheering fruition of success.
Before US, in phamphlet, is copy Of
the Governors Reports for 1875 and
1876. The following, relative to what
has been done at the Capital of the
Territory, is indicative of an admira-
BILE enterprise and liberality of public
sentiment:
A school-house has been erected in
Tucson during the year, at a cost of
S9,7Sl Sc, and paid by donations from
the people. In this school three teach
ers are employed. There are three
rooms in the building, one occupied
by girls, o he by boys of higher grade
of studies and the third by boys in
primary studies. The boys in the
p: mary room are taught Spanish and
only is taught. From the rapid in
crease it is apparent that by next term
an addition will have o be made to
the present school-house, and two
more teachers will be required.
AS to the results which are follow
ing the efforts of the Governor and his
associates to perfect the educational
status OF the rising generation of Ari
zonians, we quote as follows: sin my
last annual report the lumber of chill
dren between the ages OF six and
twenty-one years, was shown to be
25Os; the number that could read and
write was reported at 9OS, which shows
an increase of 447 children in the Ter
ritory, and an increase of 566 of those
who can read and write over the pre-
vious year. consider this remarka-
BILE decline in illiteracy the best argu-
ment that can be presented in favor of
the Public School System. 1t will be
seen that very nearly fifty per cent. of
the children in the Territory can read
and write. Considering the length of !
time our schools have. been established |
and the many obstacles we have had |
20 overcome, the situation is certainly |
very encouraging, but there is much
yet to be done, and to bring the School
System up to standard, that will
give to every child within the limits
If the Territory common school edu-
,ation, requires the ceaseless, active
md united cooperation of every friend
If free education. Let the progress
We have made serve as stimulus to
% on with the work until we can
make the proud boast, that even Prus-
ia, with only two and a half per cent.
f its population that cannot read and
write, does not excel u.s."

The loss by the Reno fire will pro-
badly amount to about SIS. 200. The
damage on the first floor was not very
great, but the upper stories are almost
completely gone, and but little of the
furniture or contents of the rooms were
saved. The, fire seemsto have originated
from q defective chimney.

THE BLOODY WAR.

Plevna is still the center of active OPP
erations in Bulgaria, and before the de-
lenses Of this stronghold the loss of life
has been fearful. The Russians made
slow and costly progress until they held
the Grivitza redoubt, which is regarded
as the key to the position, with other
works commanding the Turkish rear and
their only line of retreat. The Grivica
redoubt is at the most advanced part Of
the great semicircular line of works that
surrounds Plevna. 1t was carried by
assault with a loss of 5000 men, and
since then the Turks have attempted to
retake 1t with persistency which must
have cost them as many more. Two of
the other positions won by the Russians
we're retaken by the Turks after five as
saults had been repulsed. Elsewhere at
the seat Of war there seems to be pause,
awaiting the event at Plevna. Even Ser
via delays her declaration Of war against
the Porte until she sees how this greaI
battle is to end.

the conference was Mr.. Moody and Mr..

not successful, and they find after time
that they must either collapse or resort
to dishonest practice they become dis
honest, and their overthrow is recorded
with the names of hundreds of others
who we're led into dishonesty by the dis
honest money that the nation permits to
exist as currency. Initiation has always
been a fruitful source of corruption in
the State. Instances we're cited where
kings and cabinet ministers had been
traduced by the bad influences of cheap
money. A great deal of the cor
rupsiOn in high places, in our own coun-
try, has been brought on by the same
fruitful cause of misfortune.
The speaker showed that the present
clamor in the West for the "silver dollar
of our fathers" resulted from the fact
that our present silver dollar is only
worth 80 cents in gold, and that the use
of silver as legal tender for large sums
would drive gold out of circulation en-
tIrely. Our national silver currency to-
day is not the old silver currency of our
fathers, but it Is an inflated currency
ninety cents worth Of silver passes fol
one dollar, and hence the spectators
gamblers and the money-baggers are cry

Vermont on her honesty, industry and
economy, and hoped that her peopl
would let their voices be heard, even il

A SAD CASE.

The case of E. G. Hayden, convicted
at Irasburgb, week ago last Saturday,
of the murder of his wife at Derby Line,
Vt, about year ago, is painfully sad.
A young man of scarcely thirty years of
age, married only brief time ago to
beautiful young woman of most respec-
table family that endowed her with
fortune of some forty thousand dollars,
and, prosperous for time in business
and full of all the pleasures of social and
domestic life, he is now tried and con-
victed murderer of the very woman
whose hand he sought and won. and the
wife whose untold treasures of affection
were poured out upon him without meas
ure. Appetite, passion and self-will, ma
tured into deadly malice, have quickly
swept down the altar of the once happy
home, and borne sorrow and desolation
to all the households and joyous hearts
with which himself, and the unfortunate
woman given to him, were connected.
No tears, no sacrifices, can now either
restore the dead, or bring back again
the withered joys that were swept, by
murder, into the remorseless grave. Hay
den sits solitary in the prison cell, with
in granite walls, with sentence of JUS
tice, for the highest crime known to tue
law, uplifted and impending, while mer-
cy weeps and bows her head Alas for
the power of appetite. the recklessness
of passion, the haste and wretchedness
of demoniacal impulse Will young
men behold the example, and shun it {
Will young women ponder it, and be.

of their heart and hand p Windso,

THE WIFE MURDERER.

Hayden, the wife murderer, passed
through here, en- route for Windsor pris-
on, last Monday morning. 1t may be
expected that sympathy, ever ready to
excuse sin, may spring up to condone
and smooth away this young mans
crime. We may pity his condition, but
with that pity comes the thought of a
young life blighted, embittered. and then
destroyed, by the hand of him who had
sworn to love and protect.
By every means in his power Hayden
has damned his existence Physically
and spiritually he is branded with death.
The professional pardoner and sympa-
thizer is already on the alert, and GER
tain papers will plead for mercy for this
man, who has thrown aside every feeling
of pity, every fear of punishment, every
sense of gratitude and affection, and
butchered an inoffensive. and toward
him, a forgiving and loving woman.
Vengeance for blood guiltlness is of
no modern invention. AS long as satan
can crowd in, and thoroughly invest the
human heart, just SO long will it be nee
essary to hold up the shadow of the gal
lows, to prevent murder and manslaugh-

ity becomes morbid failing, when in
