goodness work LOT the common welfare.
When free schools are established they
ought to be the best that culture and the
means at hand can devise and perfect;
but above everything there ought 10
breathe through them in their differ
eLt departments and grades the purest
morality, and their foundations and su-
perstructnre ought to be proof against
the charge that they were built OF money
which should properly have gone to others.
What sort of citizens would youths cdu-
Gated in such q way make, or wherein is
any benefit to result to the individual or the
State? I therefore repeat, that il the peo-
I-ple of Virginia want public free schools
they must pay them out Of their own
means. And it is no relief to say that the
Constitution provides for them; it also pro-
vides for their support by taXation-the
only way in which they can be provided
for-and at the same time provides for
other things OF equal dignity and of equal
obligation, to say the least.
But under the Constitution and law as
now interpreted, and The inadequacy Of the
revenues, the public creditors who have not
taX-receiyable coupons have disappeared
from the scene altogether, for they get
nothing; and those holding taX-receiyable
coupons getting their dues leaves the issue
no longer. between the creditors and the
public free-sehool system, but between the
public; free-schooE system and the State.
One third in amount OF the public creditors
get nothing. so that, ais matters now stand,
after the support Of the Government the
revenues are divided between them, as O
mass, and the public free schools, not being
sufficient to pay both. The public creditors
and their friends say theirs is first in point
OF time and dignity.
THE FRIENDS OF THE PUBLIC FREE SCHOOLS

BecCher Appears at Home.

The New York SIN tells how Henry
Ward Beecher was received on his first
Sunday after his return; An immense
congregation visited Mr.. Reecher on his
first public appearance yesterday after
his return from California. Every
thing in the church looked new, the
carpets were fresh from the warehouse,
the pews were redolent with oil and
yarnish, and Assistant Pastor llalli-
days clothes seemed never to have been
worn before. The platform was almost
hidden beneath its load of rare flowers
but there were, apparently, not enough
to satisfy the liberal tastes of Mr. Hal
iday, for just before Mr., Beecher APP
pcared he carried up another large vase
OF roses, lilies, and creepers, and placed
it upon the little Mount of Olives" ta-
bic, Mr., Beecher entered hastily, and as
he stepped upon the platform a murmur
of interest and pleasure ran through the
great throng; but the pastor was un-
moved, He may have been a little
fatter and his clothes were decidedly
shabbicr than when he started for Cal
ifornia; in any other particular it would
have required an exceedingly close oh.
server to discover the slightest change
in his appearance. Mr.. Camp, the
leader of the choir, waved his hand,
and the whole congregation arose and
sang the doXology, the words " Praise
God from whom all blessings flow y
ringing through the church. Mr..
Bcecher sat seemingly undisturbSd
His face bore a stern and thoughtful ex.
preston, but the extraordinary warmth
of his reception did not seem to affect
him in the least.

4 Joke on Il Physician.
New Orleans picay uno.l

amusing incident, which impugns
the faithiulness Of memory Of one ofour
physicians, occurred n few days since.
The Esculapian referred TO treated II
man for the yellow fever, and when his
patient was well and out, sent him his
bill amounting to good round sum for
professional services rendered,
The client, who considered the bill
rather exorbitant, called on the doctor
He told the learned gentleman that he
wasnot in unusually easy circumstances
and requested him to make discount
in the amount of the bill. "No, sir," +"
replied the doctor. " never cut down
one OF my bills, II you cannot pay it,,
| will not ask you for it," This 1 course
touched the patient to his inner heart,
but il was not what he anticipated. He
therefore replied, that he did not ask
for charity, but only a discount on the
bill. The doctor in answer again Nid
that he never cut down any Of his halls.
For many years he had been treating
yellow fever, and his fee was one hun
dred dollars and nothing under. II the
bill could not be paid--well, his services
were offered freely. There WISE, of course,
no reply TO be made, and the patient
knew that it was useless to attempt to
argue the question. Resigning himself
TO the necessity of paying the full
amount, he changed the conversation,
and inquired from the physician ii n
person who had been afflicted with yell
low fever during the epidemic of 1867
could again have the same Ievor this
year.
Certainly not" was the reply of the
doctor. The gentleman, in answer, said
that he had had it, or at any rate that
he had been treated for it. The doctor
then replied that the person who treated
him in 1867 for yellow fever was an in
competent or very impudent person.
This was too much for the pataent, who,
however, did not lose his o1Pprtunity.
Ho quietly remarked that he would re-
fer to his papers, and ascertais who was
the medical celebrity who ha,l treated
him for the fever during that epidemic,
Pulling a bundle of papers from his
pocket, he looked over them and
coolly handed over receipt for seventy
five dollars for treatment of yellow
fever in 1867, and 10. it was signed by
the doctor himself

A Mexican Family.

A somewhat stout sonora sits on the
bed on fringed tiger-skin, in the Turk
ish fashion, enjoying cup of chocolate,
whilst maid is seated near on the
ground, holding a silver plate with a
glass of water upon it. Her morning
gown, hangs about her much like sack.
Merry peals of laughter in the next room
lead to the presumption that young peo-
pie are there. Sure enough, they are the
daughters; but, strange to say, not one
has her dress closed. One has her arm
out of her sleeves even, which are tied
around her waist like a sash. Their
plated hair hangs down their backs, the
feet are inclosed in silk slippers, but the
stockings are wanting. The young peo.
pie gaily smoke their cigars, whilst one
Of them is seated on mat on the ground,
having her long glossy hair combed by
ber maid. The dressing table is not well
supplied with brushes, soap, essences,
ETC., but with complete assortment Of
rings, earrings, bracelets, brooches,
chains, and pins.

Narrow Escape.

The force of fear itself will sometimes
prompt an act Of desperate bravery
such as alone saved the life of It young
Missouri girl the other day:
Miss Mary Flcahman, daughter of Mr.
Perry Fleshman, living two miles east
of Platte City, Mo-, was riding on horse
back along through the woods, when she
dropped her glove. She dsmounted to
secure it, and as she was STOPPING to
pick it up, she discovered large rattle
snake, at least six feet long, coiled and
in the act of striking. 1t did strike,
but failed to reach her, and fell at her
feet.
She spraug back with acry of horror;
but almost instantly the snake recoiled
and struck again. This time the venom
Gus fangs struck in the front part of her
bonnet, and the hold tearing out with
the force Of the blow and the weight Of
the snake, il fell on the ground at her
feet. Instantly it reared up in front Of
her. Scarcely knowing what she did,
she seized the snake just below the head
with both hands aud holding it for Il
moment with desperate energy, she
slung it from her and fled. 1t was a
marrow escape, nut Miss Fleshman sus-
tanned no other injuries than those
which result from violent excitement
and nervous UrustratiOn,

Defense of the Tyrol.

After the battle of the Aspern, Bona.
pHrte detached force of nearly forty
thousand men, under the command Of
General Lafebvre, to subjugate the ry.
rolese, who, headed by the brave and
enterprising Andrew Hofer, had opposed
desperate resistance to all their at.
tacks. The account of the expedition,
az related by a Saxon Major, who
escaped from the destruction of those
terrible days, presents one of the most
striking instances of national and indi-
yidual heroism that history records:
:" We had penetrated to Innspruck," ]"
says the officer, without great resist
ance, Our entrance into the passes Of
the Brenner was onl y opposed by a small
corps, which continued falling back
after an obstinate though short resist
ance. Among others ! perceived a man
eighty years old, posted against the side
Of rock, and sending death among our
ranks at every shot. Upon the Bavari-
ans descending from behind to make
him prisoner, he shouted, 'Hurrah =
struck the first man to the ground with
ball, seized hold of the second, and
with the ejaculation, in GOds name
precipitated himself with him into the
abyss below.
Marching onward, We heard resound
from the summit Of a high rock, Stephen

nag reyerberated from the opposite
This was told to the Duke of Dantzic,
who, Notwithstanding, ordered us TO ad-
vance, Mt the same time he prudently
withdrew from the center to the rear,
The van, consisting of four thousand
Bavarians, had Just stormed deep ra-
vine, when we again heard hallOoed
over our heads, Hns' : for the mast Holy
Trinity! Our terror was completed by
the reply that Immediately followed,
In the name Of the Holy Trinity cm all

elapsed thousands of my comrades in
arms were crushed buried and over
whelmed by an incredible heap of
broken rocks, stones and trees hurled
upon US. We were all petritied every
one fed that could, but shower of
balls from the Tyrolese, who now rushed
from the surrounding mountains in i'm
mense numbers, and among them boys
and girls of ten and twelve years of
age, killed or wounded great many of
us. 1t was not till we got those fatal
mountains six leagues behind us that
We were reas3embled by the Duke, and
formed into six columns. Soon after
the Tyrolese appeared, headed by Hofer,
the inn-keeper. After short address
from him they gave general fire, then
flung their rifles aside and rushed upon
our bayonets. Nothing could withstand
.heir impetuosity. They darted at our
feet, threw or pulled us down, strangled
us wrenched the arms from our hands,
and, like enraged lions, killed ALL
French, Bavarians and Saxons that did
not cry for quarter. BY doing so l.
with three hundred men, was spared
and set at liberty.
"When all lay dead around, and the
victory completed, the Tyrolese, az if
moved by one impulse, fell upon their
knees, and poured forth the emotions
of their hearts in prayer, under the can

The First Chinamnn.

The first Chinaman who came tC
America, according to the San Francisco
Chronicle, was Chum Ming, in lS47. He
was a native merchant of Maj Sang, Il
province of Canton, intelligent and en-
terprising. He went into the mountains
and, finding gold, wrote to a friend
Cheong Yum, in l84S, about the new
country. Cheong Yum Immediately
came to the Pacific Slope, but, before
doing 30, told a number Of his country
men OF the discovery of gold in America.
1t was then that the Cinnamon began to
flock to the Pacific coast. There were
ut that time no steamers to bring them,
so they came in sailing vessels. In lS49
the Argonauts began to arrive from the
Fast, and at that time the Chinese in
hux was q mere drop in the bucket.
Within the next few years the arrivals
Of Mongolians became more frequent
and in larger proportions, so that in 1862
there we're four thousand on the coast,
two thousand of whom lived in San
Francisco. As soon as the tide of Chi
nese emigration had set in toward Cali
fornia, the Yeoung Wo and the Kong
Chow, the first two of the present Six
Companies, began the business Of

About Editors, Etc.
Indianapolis Sun.l

Every editor loves to have his friends
and particularly his readers to call on
him. They belong to the same family,
as it were. But when you call to see
the editor, don't stay too long. Editors
are generally very busy in business
hours. If you have suggestion to make
or news to communicate, state it in the
fewest words possible.
Don't offer any excuses nor indulge in
long preface to what you have to say.
Blurt it right out; tell the editor you
wish him we'll, and bid him good day.
Editors dote on such men IA that. They
love to receive calls from them. Don't
argue with them. Don't try to do it.
He's got no time for argument while at
his work.
When you write to an editor for pub
LEGATION, make it short; boil it down.
Pitch right into the middle of your sub
ject, and be sure to stop writing when
you are through. Editors always like
something fresh and original in the way
of communications, and they are espe-
cially fond of news. But the editor
must always be the judge of what is
worthy of publication. Of course every
writer thinks his own production the
best, just as every mother thinks her
baby the prettiest that was ever born.
But the editor may be so stupid as to
have different opinion. II 80, it can't
be helped. Don't try to argue him out
of his notion. II he is too stupid to
appreciate good thing, you can't ex-
pect to remedy his dullness. You may
think you are a great deal smarter than
the editor, and that may be true; but
the editor may be responsible for the
publication and you are not. There is
no class of men so anxious to please a
majority of the people as editors are.
There is no class 80 covetous Of the good
opinion of others. II is well to remem-
Der that fact.

DR.. THOMAS, of Detroit, details in the
Dental Cosmos case in which he success
fully inserted in the mouth of gentle
man, who had lost superior cuspidate,
solid and healthy tooth that he had
removed from woman's mouth four
weeks previously. He opened into the
canal and pulp pchamber'of the tooth, from
the apex Of the roo! only; cut the end
off one eighth of an inch Git being that
too long) reduced the size somewhat in
center of root Git being a trihe larger
than the root extracted,) filled and
placed it in position. He says that
several dentists were not able to distin-
guish the transplanted tooth from the
others Two features in the case that
he calls particular attention to are ::
That although the tooth had been in his
office four weeks, there is no perceptible
change in color, and that the reattach-
ment is as perfect as though it had boen
transplanted or replanted the same day
of extraction. DR.. Thomas knows but
two obstacles in the way of perfect prac-
ticabilty of transplanting: first, the
difficulty of obtaining the proper teeth
at the proper time; and, second, the pos
sibility of incubation. The latter is the
more formidable of the two, and to
escape the ills that might follow, the
greatest caution is necessary. The first
difficulty is more easily gotten over, for
it is not necessary that the tooth trans
planted should correspond exactly in
shape and size to the one extracted; if
it is too large it may be reduced or, if
too small, new osseous deposit will sup
ply the deficiency.
