We are glad to 500 That there is
more interest manifested on this sub
jcct all over the State than has been
for years.
The schools are better patronizcd,
and all seem to be aroused to tho
Importance of training tho youth of
the land.
Even rs an invcstT cut it is begin
Ling to be realized that an education
is tho Lest legacy that IL parent can
leave his child.
Fort uncs change, and the rich of
this generation become the poor Of
the next, and SO on according to the
vicissitudes Of time. But the invest
mcnt that is made in the cultivation
Of the mind is never lost.
Besides this-what is happ ness =?
1t is altogether in one sell, aud does
not depend OH external things. Edu.
talitn thuL-the illumination Of the
inner man-is the key to this greatest
Of blessings. But it is not to self
alone that We must look, but to the
light which is shed for the blessing
of our fellow men.
IN view Of the great boon which
education offers, and the manifest
interest which the people are exhibi-
ting in the matter, it is to be hoped
that the State will be aroused, and
that our legislators will work Mt the
next session of the Legislature for
more effective free school system.
The school house is the cradle Of
liberty, and i'll order that the sparks
shall never go out, let us keep the
cradle constantly rocking.

profitable.

ALWAYS DOES BEAT.
A rast-driving Story About Grant

a story ABOUT Grant.
Frank Gassaway Derrick Dodd) in the San
Francisco Post of recent date tells the
following story, located here in Washington,
about General. then President, Grant. Among
the more or less imaginative personal remi-
nsccnccs' of our distinguished guest with
which we are flooded just now, the following
actual occurrence may be of interest, as show
ing the always striking absence of self-import-
anco, or "frills" distinguishing Grant in all
relations of life
The writer of this lived within u stones
throw of the White House at Washington dur
ing both the Generals terms, and drove what
was justly considered as the second third fast
est horse in tho District-which was saying u
good deal then. The fashionable drive was what
is known rs the Soldiers Home road, and it
was the custom when the President was out
behind his noted trotter Butcher Boy, for tho
flyers" along the road to pull out aud give the
General brush, the other carriages drawing
up on either side TO see the fun. One after
noon VIC met the General jogging along the
road home, and in moment both the Presi-
dents big gelding and our sorrel marc
sters along like an equine avalanche. 1t
was warm October afternoon, and the foam
specks from the wide.stretched mouths of the
well-settled nags came drifting back over the
dashboard 1t was a close match, and with
hats jammed on hard and each driver eagerly

horses swung into the Fourteenth street stretch
neck and neck. As we struck the wood
pavement marking the city limits we saw
ahead couple of mounted policemen, evil
IDENTIFY lying in wait for us. 1t was ANY
thing to beat Grant just then, however, and
IL there had been the whole metropolitan
Police force in front we would have had it out
lust the same. But the shouts of the gallop-
ping policemen Hurried our high.strung mare
and in second or two she broke like the
Johnnies at Mission Ridge, while the Butcher
Boy rushed to the lead like the shot ont of u
gun.
Now, there was nothing remarkable about
all that-Grant always does beat, somehow
but here comes in the point of the story. After
he had gotten little distance ahead the Pres
ident looked back aud saw us escorted by an
officer ON each side, arrested for fast driving.
He at once wheeled his horse, and, trotting
slowly back, said
as that gentleman under arrest, oifccr%
"Ycs, General" replied the man, touching
his cap.
Then there are two of u.s." and taking out
his vest pocketboOlS, ho handed the policeman
his card, with " Here, send up for the fine in
the murning." He lifted his hat aud drovo oil.
We have been II Grant man ever since.

SIR The enthusiastic receptions rendered
Ulysses 8. Grant since his return to his native
land recall an incident in the campaign of
1872. When this quiet, modest man was in
nomination for his second Presidential term,
Mayor Kiely, of Richmond, Va, in a Demo-
cratic speech in Petersburg, said snocringly
what shall / say of the dummy driving his
horse along tho Jersey beach who styles him
self President2p Hon. II. II. Wells, now of
this city, had the honor few days later of re-
plying TO tho taunts of this gentleman in
speech so eloquent and in manner so dra-
matte as never to be forgotten by those who
heard it. send you piece of poetry which
II was my privilege to contribute to tho litera-
ture of that day, and which was sung in many
places during the campaign with great effect,
based upon this incident, as follows =
