LETTER FROM WEST PEARL
THE PUBLIC SCHOOL
QUESTION.
WEST PFARL RIVER, Oct. %, 70.
QUESTION

EDIToE ST.. TAMMANY FARMER:
Mv attention has recently been
called to communication. by
aunt Tanmany," to the New Or
leans Democrat, and copied into the
FARMER. ! 10 not wish to reply in
detail to "Aunt Tammany," but .'rise
to question of privilege" or to
make an apology for having tried
/ hard to invade the school house"
on the Ridge" As | am the only
school master who has been guilty
of such transgression on the
, Ridge, or on West Pearl River, in
several years, | deserve some of the
wrath Of aunt Tammany," but /
ought to lave justice.
I approached the sacred school
house very cautiously, and after
asking if the men (who | suppose
''installed" the school) were gone,
| told the school mistress that I did
not wish to disturb the school. /
then took a seat near the door.
while the young lady teacher occu-
pied the opposite end of the house
do not remember saying anything
more, only to bid the teacher and
students "good-day."
But whether my very poor MEM
oy, or the want of presence of
Aunt Tammany," is at fault, is an
open question.
While waiting for my ''down"
patrons to build honse, I IN raded
the next nearest school, and the
lady teacher received and enter
tanned me courteously.
After | had been repeatedly So
liciteu 10 lilhe ScIOOI On Tue
Ridge, : called meeting of all the
people III the vicinity, at which |
proposed toleave the selection of
teacher to them. Only one person,
at the well-attended meeting, OPP
posed my taking the school. But
that person was a trustee, though
he is not (by sending children) a
patron of either school.
The fact that people pay teach
er, instead of sending to the public
school, is significant, when it is
known that the people like the mis-
tress, personally. The people show
an independence worthy Of u good
cause.
They say that they have had but
little benefit of the public money in
the last twenty years, and it it is not
appropriated Tor The benefit of the
children. they do not care to give
credit for it.
The ''installed" school was in
session two weeks before the "pay'
school began, and that enough chill
dren might be left to rnn the public
school. [ wrote to the father of the
youns lady teacher, that | wouid
not, knowingly, receive into my
school any who had attended the
public school
I presume that it is only neces-
sary to have A school, and the favor
Of the officers, to draw the public
money.
Why Aunt .Tammany" should
choose to give the terrible alarm
through the Democrat. instead of
our local paper, | cannot under
stand; but it may warn the few I'M
fortunate school masters 10 keep
away from the Ridge.
She Ought to be hopeful that the

Sowing and Reaping.

it is not our custom to cite illustrations Ofthe benefit of advertising which in tiIe very nature of the case must lnnure to the advntage of par ties whose names we are compelled to mention, but the case of Dr. Kennedy of this place, is so remarkable of the kind that for once we make an exception of him. After much careful eX- perimenting the Doctor became convinced that he had found-or rather educed from elements previously known, but never so compounded a medicine capable initself of doing an immense amount of good 10 his suffering fellow men,
 He was morally certain that the great and in telligent public would be altogether of his way of thinking touching the virtues of his discovery if he could only get it before thenR Like sensible man he began to invest portion of his capital in newspaper advertisements. He had not long to wait for the visible and sensible effect of his course Orders began to drop in one by one, and then steady bombardment of them opend upon this eaterprlslng physician aud surgeon. The Favorte Remedy soon be- came as well known as Dickens Pickwick Papers or Webster's Dictionary. When people felt themselves in suffering and distress from Liver and Kidney diseases, Constipation of the Bowels, or any of those complaints peculiar to Females, so subtle in character and so difficult for treatment by the ordinary modes, they bought the Favorite Remedy, used 1t and were healed Now, we don't know that we are un- der any special obligation to Dr. Kennedy, but in order to draw the moral to enforce which this article was written, we are obliged to give him the benefit of this implied advertisement. And the moral is this When you have some thing to sell which is worth public attention do as Dr. Kennedy did with the Favorlte Remedy advertise it. A great patronage has awarded, and the same wisdom will secure the same re- suit for you. Sold by Vessels < Gates, Litchfield. 42-4w.

Jay Gould Squeezing New York.

The managers of the Pacific railroad, our only trans continental line of communication have ''combned' with the managers of the bankrupt and disgraced Pacific Mail line, our only other way of steam communication with the Pacific, and the two have formed con- pact which is the strongest possible argument for subsidizing any new road that will be cer- tain opposition to the present line, and the strongest argument, too for government inter- ferance. It is not necessary to explain that there are different kinds of freight Some kinds must be carried as rapidly as possible, others can go exactly as well to all owners by slower, cheaper routes. This double Pacific combination divides up all the freight business between New York and California, pooling" receipts and sharing them in an agreed pro- portion. It does not stop here, but boldly refuses to carry any business concerns freight for 1t unless the house will sign paper bind ing itself to send dH it's freight by this way.
 In other words, the right to ship any goods by sailing vessel around the Horn" is denied to any concern which wishes to use the Pacific railroad. The use of the road is imperative in some cases, while the Cape Horn route is merely preferable one because of it's cheap ness. Forced to choose the merchant has to forswear the use of clipper ships hereafter. This industry, the best survial of our once hourshing commerce, will be also driven out of existence if this iniquitous combination prevails. It is a matter of very serious impor- tance, and when we remember that the people of the United States built the Pacific railroad and are to-day paying interest on its defaulted bonds, while the stock is paying dividends in Wall street, it is irresistible to ask how long this sort of thing can last.
 The right of the general government to in- tertere in tine management of the Pacific rail- road, sufficiently to break up such an abuse as this, would scarcely be questioned by the most particular. And New York; now that it gets this taste of monopoly abuse, will probably bestir itself in this direction. It is to be mo- ticed that MT. Theophilus French, the govern ment railroad accountant-a sort of national railroad ommissoner-endorses the Reagan bill in his report and advocates the law regu- lating interstate commerce. forbidding less charge for long distances than for short, etc, etc.; which, while it would hit this Pacific railroad abuse, would put the price of wheat down out of sight at the far west.-COurant.

Senator Sharon is a thoroughgoing Grant man. He has little doubt that Grant will be the Republican candidate in 1880. He thinks highly of his integrity intellect, will, patriot ism and thorough unselfshness. The possi- be candidates in case Grant is not taken he thinks are Sherman and Blaine. The Repub licans will elect their candidate, whoever he is and will regain control of both Houses of Con- gress. As for sectionalsm, the interests of the North and the Great West will soon over ride everything of that kind. Mir Sharon is about to oceuoy his lons-vacant chair in the Senate. -- Trs1Nn>

The French servant girl is generally much better off than her American or British sister She carries three -fourths of her earnings to the savings bank, and is never content until she is the possessor of at least $100 with which to buy debenture bond of the City of Paris, en- titling her to the chance of winning $50, 900 of the quarterly drawings. Greenville Murray further observes that they have too much taste to disfgure themselvesas certain English-and he might have added American-housemaids do, by tricking themselves out in cheap fnery
 Their universal costume is white linen cap and gown of printed cotton or calico with perhaps silk kercheif of gay color not of
 ten. While she is not indifferent to the at
 fractions of dress, she is imbued with native good sense which teaches her the proprietv of attiring herself according to her station She is too thrifty to spend more on daess than she can afford, and would think herself ludicrous if, affecting to array hereself. like lady, she dressed otherwise than in the height of fashion, and wore gloves or boots that were not of the pest quality and the most perfect fit When French woman rises into the class where it is incumbent on her to wear bonnet instead of a cap she must have everything to match, and the bills of her millner ana dressmaker come to be serious items in her expenditures.
