COMMON SCHOOLS, HIGH SCHOOLS AND
.... THE POOR, 49, .. -.. '...

The most alluring swindle that a pen
ny.wise and pauud.foolish public economy
even forced upon the masses, is poor and
cheap school. The sons of the rich, whether
aided by public law or not, will have good
teachers. The sons of the poor, if a false
economy is practiced as to common and
high schools, obtain only third and fourth
rate instructors. Penuriousness as to the
public schools widens the chasm between
rich and poor. A system providing one
kind of education for the rich, and another
for the poor, would delight the black an.
gels, because it would lead to the forma-
ton in the United States Of an ignorant
class, and of wide hereditary distinction be-
tween the wealthy and the INDECENT. Every
advocate of republican institutions will be
forced, by political necessity, as we'll as by
philanthropy, to defend the educational
rights of the children of the poor. In plead.
ing for the poor, I do not attack the rioh, but
defend rather the intereats Of property, by
defending the education of the masses who
may learn to steal it through maiorities at
the ballot boxes, or to burn It In riot, unless
they are educated, If there are any limp,

speaking for the protection of such aristocrats
when l defend an educational system that
opens up the faculties of the child of the
poor man, until he knows what he can do in
the world, and so does not, without reason,
accept position below his ability. 1t Is the
glory of American political principles that
they bring rivalry into activity in society, be:
tween the children Of the poor and those of
the rich, and give the former chance to aid
the latter, by keeping up to the mark Of their
own capacity. The children of the rich may
easily drop into the diseases of luxury unless
they are mercilessly held up to their work by
the danger of competition, A healthful col
lision Of intereats occur in the great protes.
siops when the question arises which shall sue
oeed the better-a Daniel Webster, Injured to
hardship from the first on the frontier, or a
son of a millionaire in the city, who has not
been taught to, work physically or mentally.
The question is whether Henry Clay, as the
"Millboy of the Slashes," if he have fair op-
portunities in the common and high schools,
may not so awaken his soul as to perceive
what he can do for the nation. II Is no slight

CHAPTER XII.
THE TWO BARSTOWS.


Wilfred, who, in certain way, was rigor-
Gus in his selfdiscipline, made it rule to
study for certain time, every evening, and
at nine o'clock he took leave of the company
and departed. To tell the truth, he would
have fingered later, had he hoped for another
chance of conversing, uninterruptedly, with
Daisy. even for few minutes. But she was
so entirely monopolized by the other gentle
men, that he saw no prospect of this, and not
being at home in the light flow of current
small talk with which they were entertaining
each other, he felt himself, in some degree, an
outsider, and was rather glad to get away.
"How were you pleesed2" 7" asked Madame
darcy, whom he found sitting up for him,
when he reached home.
"Oh! I had very good time," he answer
ed, gaily; "only it was little bit Of bore
toward the end" ....
"You left early, did you notf'
81 suppose so. None Of the rest seemed
inclined to move. But couldn't neglect the
claims Of Blackstone and Kent, you know" "
"Do you always mean to be SO industrious ?"
asked Madame, smiling.

The Ruby Hill Amateurs Malc
Their Debut.

The Ruby Hi Amateurs Make
Their Debut.
The long-deferrcd and anxiously-awaited
performance of the Ruby Hill Amateurs
was given at Miners Union Hall last even
ing. 1t had been postponed several weeks,
owing to the illness of Mrs. J. E. Medling,
who assumed a leading role, and the cred
table manner in which that lady acquitted
herself proved that the Amateurs acted
wisely in waiting for her recovery.
The hall was literally jammed at an early
hour, and when the curtain rose there was
scarcely standing room. This had a good
effect On the Amateurs, for there are few
things more discouraging than to play to
empty benches. The performance opened
with the emotional drama OF 1.-THE Last
Loaf" Mr.. J. L. Medling, as Mark Ash
ton, was capital, and he showed a thorough
appreciation of his part, as did Tom Dale
as Caleb Hanson. Charley Tredennick, on
his first appearance, was just a triiie con-
fused, but he soon overcame a natural
bashfuluess, and more than surpassed the
expectations Of his friends. join I. Rule,
as Dlch DuStic, tHt siutttIluS putChet, was
simply immense, and his efforts were APP
preciated by the audience, who a%pplauded
| him frequently. The part of Tom Chubbs
was admirably filed by NJ. Tregallas.
Mrs. J.. f. Meetings. rendition of Kate
Ashton would have don't credit to an old
habitue of the boards, as would also the
part Of Lilly Ashton, as given by Miss
! Lizzie Lang. while Mrs. j. T.. Rule, as
| Patty Jones, did splendidly.
"Thirty Minutes for Refreshments" a
laughable farce, closed the evenings enter
tainment, in which Rene Atkins played
| the leading character. Rene makes an ex-
| cellent 'sSolitary Bachelor" and we know
of several damsels who think he would
make an equally good Benedict. George
| Reek also took part, and sustained the repu-
tation claimed for him as an amateur. The
manner in which all those who took part
in both plays filled their roles was a matter
| of surprise, not only to their friends, but
to all present. and it was conceded by un-
biased critics that no better exhibition has
been given on the Hill.
The music, consisting of five pieces, was
furnished by Prof. Riegelhuth. which is a
| guarantee that it was excellent. When
| the curtain was rung down on the final act,
the hall was Immediately cleared of the
seats, and the lads and lasses were soon
tripping it merrily, and danced until a
late hour.
So well pleased were those present with
| the acting of the amateurs, that efforts
were made by many persons to have it
repeated on the Hill, and steps were taken
to induce them to visit Eureka, and it is
more than probable they will do so, in
which case we promise them q royal recep-
ton.

The official Interpretation given to the
Congressional Mining Law is as follows +:
"A mining claim is forfeited whenever the
assessment year is so nearly gone that the
required work cannot possibly be done in
the time, and possession is not resumed
until the locator fully complies with the
law in these respects. A re-locator who
takes possession before the locator's year
expires, cannot be ousted by the latter while
holding in conflict with the law" This IL
in accordance with common sense, and if
rigidly adhered to will save much litiga-
ton among miners.

ANOTHER ACCIDENT.
The Terrible Fate OF n Richmond

The Terrible Fate OF n Richmond
Miner.
Accidents in the mines in this district
are becoming alarmingly frequent. The
recklessness of miners is proverbial, and
while in many cases they are not to blame,
still many accidents have occurred lately
where the exercise OF a little caution might
nave averted the catastrophe in which they
have been the only sufferers. Nor does
the terrible lessons thus taught prove of
any permanent benefit, but are apparently
forgotten in a few hours. The last we are
called upon to record occurred at the Rich
mond yesterday when the shifts we're
changed. A miner, known as big" Dan
Sullivan, while waiting at the mouth of the
fifth level for the cage was caught as it was
ascending and dragged to the fourth level,
and then fell back to the ninth. No one
was in the cage at the time, and it is sup
posed he was dead ere reaching the fourth
level. ~ his head was crushed beyond all
recognition. Sullivan was a married man,
but separated from his wife, and was about
50 years old. He has a brother at present
residing at Silver Reef.
