For years The TRIBUNE has been the recognized
medium of introduction between schools ana
parents. 1t crcuates more largely than any other
daily journal among that wel-tO-do intelligent
class of citizens who believe that good
sound education is the best fortune that
a parent can give a child And there

the country who does not find 1t to his advantage

readers and lay before them his special claims as an

show how varied and numerous these appeals
are and the rush has hardly yet begun. Between
now and the opening DAYS of September large
additions will. be made to the already long LIST OF
educational announcements. In the reyiylng Ma

share. Money is now more actively circulated than
for years past. and more business men will be able

Mr.. Oliver Johnson's ninth paper, which we
print elsewhere, discusses a phase OF the very
subject upon which another correspondent adj
dresses us, protesting against the justice OF
MIR. Johnson's positions. The controversy,
which has on one side those who believe that
the extreme AbolitOnsts hindered rather than
FASTENED the destruction of slavery, and on
the other those who believe that they led the
people by getting far in advance of them, is
very old one. Probably there is little to be
gained by reviewing it at this day, but our
correspondent is entitled to a hearing, not
alone on this point. but for the explanation
which he makes of the attitude OF the
churches toward the slavery question. He
charges in depreciation of Mr.. JOhnson's crit
icisms, that the Abolitionists repealed the vast
body of the clergy by intolerance of all mod
crate opinions as to the best method of re-
moving this great blight, and by showing a
too great hospitality on their platform to rad
icalism of all sorts, religious and otherwise.
The discussion is historically interesting, and
not unimportant, inasmuch as 1t can never be
a matter of little moment to whom the world
owes its great reforms.

The three notable series of papers upon
subjects of practical and scientific interest
which The TRIBUNE has been presenting to
its readers for some weeks past, are contln-
ued in our pages to-day. The question when
still perplexes many men of intelligence
whether our store of gold is sufficient to main
tain resumption-is answered very simply and
clearly in one of the articles on the A b Z
of Finance. 1t is shown that gold always goes
where it is needed. Mr.. S. w. FOrd's discus
sion of the theory Of Divine Creation as Illus
trated by the fossil remains of the Sllurlan
Age, is also continued. Scion RObinsOn's contrl-
button is upon the possibilities OF growing coffee
and tea IN the United States. Inasmuch as these
are subjects upon which the Department OF Agri-
culture has concentrated its executive powers,
Mr.. Robinson necessarily finds that great
deal of misinformatlOn has been disseminated

of September. They seemed to realize fully
that they had as good chance OF shooting
the RAPIDS in an open skiff without being up

utter defeat in the Fall campaign. 1t is quite
unnecessary to add that there was bad blood
and faction-clawing in the commitlee-room.

Tn the speecb which was delivered in the

pieces. and even ConstantinOple is menaced
with anarchy, the Premier makes poor at

the Queen record in a cOngratulatOTy tone that
the territorial arrangements have been
faithfully executed. The assurance that
the "calamities of the late war" have pre-
vented the Porte from ehecting reforms IN
Asia Minor is another shallow preteXt, mas
much as it is notorious that the promised
changes nave been postponed through the re-
missness of the British Government to insist
upon the fulfllment of its covenant with the
Porte. As regards domestic politics, the adj
ministratiOn is unable to say much. IL has

Whether a plagiarist would commit murder
Is an open question: but that a murderer
would have the courage to print poetry as his

to believe. This, correspondent informs us,

No doubt Mr.. Cox, who has borne up with the
utmost cheerfulness against an accusation of
murder and a conviction, Will be deeply
wounded by this charge, which directly affects
his moral character, as IL were. But he has no
one but himself TO blame if he finds the COM

upon the case. He should have taken better

Bits of Autobiography.

"To every man his own work, " was
the text chosen Sunday morning by the
Rev. L. Dewitt Talmage, at the Brook
lyn Tabernacle. There are now in the
world, he said, 1877, 900, 900 of people,
and consequently there are SO many fields
of labor and usefulness. If man neglects
his work it is undone forever. This is
a double anniversary. Nearly ten years
ago 1 became pastor Of this church, and
last Wednesday was forty-seven years
old. I started life in an old-fashioned
Christian family, where we had prayers
morning and evening and blessings were
asked at each meal. There was some.

Do Plants Eat Meat!

There is no dispute as to the fact
that the so.callcd carDivorous plants
do capture and kill unwary insects.
But there are still many persons of
sound mind who are not prepared to
assert that those cruel vegetables
actually digest and absorb their prey,
and grow fat on the diet taken in
this anomalous fashion. Some time
ago it was asserted In a scientific

The Onion and Tomato.

It is now about time to plant seed
for tomatoes and some varieties OF
onions. The importance of having
these vegetables, especially to north
erners who have habitually used them
can hardly be over estimated. The
following is from a caretully compiled
article in the Neac York Herald:
"Raw onions are a Certain cure for
scurvy, and if they are SO useful at
sea, why are they not invaluable on
land. The onion is very nutritious
in this respect being equal perhaps to
eggs. They should be raised not on

eagerly sought for ia the early sea-

with vinegar they are very healthful,
boiled they are simply delicious.
Added to stews they make many a
dish palatable and savory. Baked
they are rick garnish. Fried and
eaten with beef they are a hearty
gormand's joy. Next year raise
enough onions for family use the
year round. They will save doctors
bills.
The same may be said Of the to-
mato. It's acid is very healthful,
though one doctor tDio Lewis) con-
tends against its use in great quanti-
ties. OF course too much OF a good
thing is good for nothing. Tomatoes
will grow luxuriantly if you can keep
the cut worm and the chickens away.
Stewed they are eagerly eaten by
children. They make an elegant

THE FLORIDA AGR1CULTU RST.

Illustrious fathers well-known theory
ON this subject, by feeding on butch
ers meat certain number Of these
plants, while an equal number were
to grow in the same soil ana
under the same general conditions,
and the result was a difference III
growth and product much IN favor OF
the meat fed plants. The statement
falling under the eye OF M Peter
Henderson, that gentleman resolved
himself into an investigating COM
mittee, and the details OF his expert
ment are set forth in the Gdrde'eer's
Monthly for December. Dir. Lien
derson procured from North Carroll
ma large number of healthy specl-
mems of D;o,saa -1luscipula, cleansed
them thoroughly, and placed loo
plants in each of two boxes furnished
with a soil similar to that in their
native habitat. The plants were as
nearly alike as possible in size and
vigor, and were placed together IN a
cool greenhouse. Over one box
however, was placed very fine wire
netting, to exclude bugs and other
game IN which these animated fly
traps are supposed to delight, while
the plants i'll box No. 2 were allowed
the full qualification Of their preda-
tory propensities. Of course the
uncovered plants closed their sharp
bristles over many an imprudent fly,
and besides this they were regularly
fed when game was scarce; but after
three months of careful treatment
there wasl no observable difference
in size between the starved plants
and the pampered ones, although the
entire lot had made wonderfully
healthy growth.
On one occasion a distinguished
botanist from Washington, who is a
thorough believer in the carnivorous
plant doctrine, while discussing the
results of the experiment with Mr.,
Henderson turned . magnitying

ton showed that the animals

they flourished in the so-called gas
trio juice which the plant exudes,
according to the theory, for their

failed to devour the animals, but the
herbivorous molluscs, in time, waxed
strong and eat up the plants. Now
a thousand experiments with the
same result would not prove that
plants do not eat insects and enjoy
them. They would at best only
show that the plants give no evidence
OF being nourished or stimulated by
this food-if food 1t is But, on the
contrary, the so-called argument so
often urged by Darwinians, to wit,
that the plants must digest the in
