ENCOURAGE THE SCHOOLS.

History shows how slow and painful
are the steps by which a people ad-
vance to civilization; how easily, sud-
denly and completely these slow con-
quests may be wrested from them.
Athens sank rapidly, till its trans
cendant form became only dim ira
dition. Hostile barbarians plunged
Rome into long night of ignorance.
Our leading statesmen in scanning
the future Of our country must see
that American society is now suffering
dire consequences from too sudden
introduction into our body polite of
IN almost entirely barbarous element,
as represented by the Southern blacks;
also, that the average run of immi,
grants from Europe seeking homes
upon our shores are embittered. Their
influence must produce somewhat Of a
paralysis upon our social system unless
some antidote is applied to counterfeit
the resultant effects of such unwhole-
some interpretations. AS long as uni
versai suffrage is allowed, we have no
hope of meeting successfully the tide
Of woe which iliiteracy will bring
upon our institutions, unless more at
tention is paid to our general system
of education.
We are gratifed to see that so many
thousands of young men and women
are yearly sent forth from our higher
institutions of learning, as so much
material for positive good; but we can
but complain that the outlying thou
sands of young people are still un-
blessed by such advantages, and are
forced to grope amid want, uncheered
by the lamp of intelligence. This
should not be. Those favored by
wealth and position are educated,
while the poor must go down to their
graves in total mental night.

The Edison Photograph.

[Dz. Toatzsaas, ilO Popular Science Nonsh{yl
Mr.. Edison, by this invention, has
done for sound what Daguerre did for
light-made it possible to retain the
most fleeing impressions. We pointed
out, last month, the marvellous ca
pacities Of cold iron, magnetism, and
an electric wire; but the capacities of
the phonsgraph are still more marvel
Gus, for, with only a vibrating plate
a sheet of -tin-foil, and a crank,it is
possible to arrest and fix all kinds of
sound, and having preserved them as
long as metals will hold their proper
ties, to give them forth again In all
their original qualities. The voice, in
deed, is somewhat muffled and mini
fed when returned from the iron tongue
OF the monograph; but its intonations,
Infections, pauses, and quality, are
rendered with surprising fidelity. By
the simple turning of the crank, the
machine talks, sings, shouts, laughs,
whistles, and coughs, so naturally and
distinctly, that the listener can hardly
believe his senses, or escape from the
suspicion tba6 there is some ventrilo-
quist hocuspocus about it, or a little
fellow concealed somewhere about
the arrangement. But the fact is
established, and must be made the
most Of A machine, as simple as
coffee mill, hears a speech or song,
and gives it back as perfectly as it
was at first uttered by the living
organs of voice. And so, again, we
have the lesson repeated, with still
greater emphasis, that we must raise
our estimates of the powers and poten-
cies of ''mere dead matter"

TIE Senate has passed the bankrupt
law by vote of thirty-seven to six.
Grasses vs.. Cotton.

That popular gentleman and enter
prising farmer, Col. II. M. Polk, has
very able article on "The Immovables
of Tennessee" in the Rural Sun of
Nashville. His remarks we're princi-
pally advanced to enforce the publicly
expressed views of Col. Cockrill, that
our farmers should cultivate the grape
and not be slaves to cotton culture.
After some very interesting scriptural
and classical illusions, Col. Polk says:
prefer to turn my small howitzer
battery, not against the excellent
teachings of Col. CockrilPs essay, but
his classification of the comparative
merits of the grasses adapted to Ten
nessee. I cannot consent that red
clover stands third on the list, and &C.
cupies O subordinate position among
the grasses. Undoubtedly it stands,
like Saul, head and shoulders above
all its companions. In the great
work of redeeming our impoverished
soil blue grass hangs its diminished
head in the august presence of the
mighty clover. Upon the lime lands
of the State bluegrass is truly magnf
cent, but take it broadcast over the
whole State, clever far surpasses it,
and orchard-grass, which thrives well
on almost every variety ofsoil, becomes
formidable rival, if not a superior,
in the aggregate amount of benefit
conferred upon husbandry. I must
further demur to Col. Cockri1rs asser-
ton that bluegrass pOa prdte'asis) pro-
pagates itself mainly from the roots,
under the broad expression that sit
spreads mainly by its creeping roots, +"
! Crunners.) We do not contend that
no spreading occurs from the roots,
but do not look npon it as a runner.
This is true in regard to another mem
Der of the poa family known as June
grass, which is often COMPOUNDED with
the kentucky bluegrass. l would
like to add am greatly pleased with
all he says in regard to the millets,
sorghums, ct I'd Omne genus. But when
he professed, in well digested arti-
Gle, to enumerate all the grasses
suitable to our soils and valuable to
husbandry in Tennessee, aud omits
Bermuda-grass, probably a rival OF
bluegrass for grazing fully as many
months In the year, and giving a rich
pasturage which hoofs cannot stamp
out or teeth injure by close nipping in
wet weather or in drought.) cannot
but suppose that the omission was an
oversight, and not intentional. Moth
ing could be more admirable than
what he said in regard to making good
clover-hay But l should have desired
from him, with the sanction which
his name would have carried with it,
more decided condemnation of the
: practices of the "2:30" operators who
pack their clover sheds with half wilted
clover, and have made 50 much
funlzed hay as to bring that excellent
provender almost into disrepute. lie
has my vote for agricultural Rex if he
viii enforce tine law he says should be
made, that each farmer should be com
PEELED to SOW a small number of his
acres in clover Sat least once IN five
yeaEs."

Cockrane, in charge of the Presby-
terrain church at Salisbury, visited the
home of our afflicted friend, and by
request received him into the COM
munion of that church and admins
tered TO him the holy sacrament. It
was solemn and deeply interesting
occasion. Amid large circle Of at
tached friends who had gathered to
unite IN the religious services, the
reverend gentleman, after preaching
an appropriate sermon, received from
Mr.. Lowe assurances of his acceptance
of Christ as his Redeemer, and that
his peace was Astounding and his faith
! bright. AS the sweet hymn, "Jesus,
Lover of My Soul" was sung, deep
quiet pervaded that room, and not a
dry eye could be seen. The patient
sufferer, propped in bed, seemed pro-
foundly moved by the scene. Prayer

Methodist minister present, the con-
gregation sang, Glow Firm Founda-
ton" another of lions consoling songs
Soon the crowd dispersed, hopeful that
Tom loves last moments would be
ha1lowed by the sustaining and COM
forting presence of the Holy One.
Providence knows best, and often
affection comes as an angel in disguise.
It is hard for mortal eyes to see dis
ease in such light, but eternity will
make the revelation plain. Too
often, as a spendthrift, we squander
much mental and moral power, and
throw aside splendid patrimony of
natural and acquired gifts; but ere
long we discover the emptiness of hui
man ambition and the perishableness
of all flesh, and in deep penitence ask
forgiveness, and give God the re-
mainder of our days. And it is far
better to repent in the eleventh hour
than not to repent at all.
But It is high time that our leading
men should consecrate the prime Of
manhood to the highest and purest
usefulness. Christianity elevates and
human talent, and throws
around man the charmed influence Of
divine providence. We hope friend
loves last moments on earth may be
as peaceful as the gentle rest Of
sleeping infant; may abundant dying
grace be given him; may his good
night" on earth be lost in q sweet
'good-morning" in Heaven.

HON. THOS. C. LOWE.

This brilliant and popular son of
Hardeman, after visiting the balmy
region of southwest Texas, hoping to
stay the ravages Of consumption, has
returned hopeless of recovery, and
now fingers at the dear old family
homestead near Salisbury, surrounded
by the fond attentions of relatives and
loving friends.
There is something extremely sad
and touching in this closing scene in
the life of Tom Lowe. In early man
hood developing unusual precocity,
and nerved by an ambition to operate
in an enlarged sphere of public useful
ness, he entered the law profession,
and though difficulties environed his
way, yet his strong will, aided by a
high order Of intellectual gifts, sue
curnbed to no defeat and yielded to no
en- barrassment. He moved steadily
forward, and had won an enviable
position at the bar, when disease
fastened Its heavy hand upon his
body. His future on earth, that once
looked so fair and promising, is now
near its end; and his ambition, that
once lowered high and reached for
ward to grasp great results, is silently
and sadly folding its weary wings al
the bidding of Him that doeth all
things well.
AS a deer, stricken in its lusty race
over an extended plain, he halts il
his career and seeks the sacred quiet
ude of his boyhood's home, to mourn
over the shaft that lays him low.
Like a bright winged spring-bird
that mounts on high and cleaves the
sweet fresh morning air, scattering it
ioeund music amid the fragrance anc
beauty of budding nature, be started
forth in life; but the barbed arrow o.
the unerring archer soon winged hin
in his flight; and now, broken in spirit
and weakened in frame, he fluttcrs back
10 the soft nesting of home, there
peacefully 10 breathe out the ebbing
Of existence, far away from the sterr
bivouac of professional rivalry.

Jay GOuId's ROut.
speetql q the Chicago Times.

Jay Gould is failure as Washing
ton lobbyist. He made a hard fight
in the Senate, but the be ggarly returns
of being able to rally IN his support
only the very outcasts of the Senate,
has discouraged him from further eff
forts. 1t is doubtful whether he will
now make any attempt to delay or OPP
pose the passage of the Sinking Fund
bill in the House, as sentiment there
is very strong in its favor, and pArtic-
ularly since moral effect has been Civ
en- by the large majority in the Senate.
Jay Gould went home last night say
ing he felt as if he had neglected, his
wife and children long enough. A
more tremendous defeat for the lobby
and q greater triumph for honest legis-
ton has rarely been known In the histo-
ry of Congress. Some of Gould's men
say that they failed because not enough
money had been spent. They say
that if Huntington and Gould had
put up more money, different results
would have been obtained. All of
this is cheap talk that costs nothing.
1t is also said by some Of the wise
acres that Tom Scott secured the pas
sage of the funding bill, and that he
has list of a Senate majority for his
Texas Pacific job. Tom Scott may
have list, but he viii find, list or no
list, that his Texas Pacific scheme will
be overwhelmingly beaten. 1t can be
put down for a reasonable certainty
that this Congress will grant no sub
sidy of any character In the opin-
ion of well-advised Senators there will
be no successful railroad legislation
this session.

THE BRITISH LIONS DANGER.
What the SlzirmisIinas Fund Trustees Hope
for and What They Say VIII Result from
the "Irish National Movement"
From The Nelo YORK. Herald.


Considerable activity has been man
Tested of late in Irish national circles,
and particularly among the supporters
of the Irish National Fund" or
''Skir1nishing Fund" as it was at first
called. The reason for this is, beyond
ell doubt, due to the unsettled state of
Europe and the strong belief which
prevails among the leaders of the
Irish nationalist that England will be-
fore long become involved in war and
that she viii have to fight for the
very existence of her empire In such
case, say the Irishmen referred to, the
best opportunity which has ever pre-
sented itself for securing Ireland's in
dependence viii have come, and an in
surrection on larger scale than any
that has occurred since the times of
Cromwell would take place in Ireland
The Fenian leaders are very reticent
about their plans, but make no secret
Of the aim and object of their move
ment. A fund has been publicly col
lected during the past two years, they
add, for the porpose of furthering
active operations against England, the
receipts for which are publicly ao-
kn9wledged every week, and which
amounts to over fifty-seven thousand
dollars. The average weekly receipts
are increasing largely, being now over
three times as large as those of last year,
and the trustees claim that this is
only the beginning of a general move
mant among the Irish naopIa hara
They also claim that there are other
large sums of money in the possession
of organized bodies of nationalists for
the same purpose and under the direc-
ton of the same head, the "skirmish-
ing" or national fund being only sub
scribed voluntarily by the unorganized
nationalist.
O'Oonovan Rosa is the SECRETARY
of the fund and John J. Breslin, who
rescued the Fenian prisoners in west
ern Australia in 1875, is chairman of
the Board of Trustees.
