necessary officers can be dispensed
with and especially so when expe-
rienee and reason show, that the
efficiency of that branch of public
service under which schools are es-
tabGshed and controlled would be
greatly enhanced thereby. The du-
ties and powers Of township and sub
district boards are not clearly defined
IN the school law, and as a result
there is a constant question Of right
and authority whenever the pay
ment Of teachers, the selection of
sites, the building of school houses,
and the making of contracts, are
subjects for action on the part Of
school authorities.
Hon. Thomas W. Harvey, former
ly State Commissioner Of Common
Schools, shows the absurdity of a
plan of administration which divides
between two boards duties which
could be more quickly and more
efficiently performed by one.* He
says:
''For instance, the township board
is required to keep the schools of
the township in session six months
in each year, and apportions the
fund raised by local tax for that pur-
pose among the sub-districts, but
has no control over its disburse-
ment the local directors hire the
teachers, paying them such wages as
they think best or most prudent.
The township board locates a school
house; the local directors purchase
the site, determine the plan Of the
house, and make contracts for its
erection. The township board makes
the rules and regulations for the
purchase of fuel, and for the repair
ing or furnishing of a school house !;
the local directors make all contracts
for such purchases, and furniture.
The following language is taken
from the report of the Commissioner
of Common Schools, Hon. John A.
Norris, for 1868, the figures being
changed to correspond with our
latest statistics:
FWith IO,721 boards of local di-
rectors, composed of 32,163 persons,
who determine how the school rev
enues shall be expended, but who
have no voice In determining the
amounts of these revenues; and with
1,347 township boards of education,
composed of 1O,721 persons, who
determine the amounts of revenues,
but who have no voice in determin-
ing specifically how these revenues
shall be disbursed, we have a system
of official network that inevitably re-
suits in complications, disputes, and
frequent litigatiOns."

Pquperisr IN ireland.

It is terribly on the increase. From
the Irish Times we learn that, out Of a
population of 5,OO0LO0, nearly 100000
are supported by public relief; and the
number of paupers, We are told, Is IN
creasing at the rate of l l,SCO a month
To support this vast army of paupers ths
labor Of Ireland is taxed S4,0O0,OOO q
year. OF this sum, the salaries Of work
house officials and the cost of the pauper
prisons eat up nearly 100000. 1t used
to be said that Ireland was OYerpOpu-
lated. Well, famine killed off nearly
100000 of the people, and scattered
100000 more all over the globe; yet
here is Ireland to-day in her rags, with
her begging-bag over her shoulder, and
her beggar's hand extended for relief.
Ireland has natural resources sufficient
to support comfortably 50,0C0OOO Of peO-
pie. Independent of the millions of
acres which have been robbed from the
people, there are millions of reclaimable
land, which, under a wise and benefcent
government, would be sustaining n
happy people instead of what we now
sea paupered population. Restore
the people to their natural inheritance;
educate them in the science Of agrICul-
ture: put improved implements into
their hands; enable them to utilize the
mineral resources of the country; push
on manufactures-in a word, diversity
industry and abolish landlOrdism-and
in ten short years Ireland will present to
the world a picture of contentedness
such as no country ever before eXhib
tied, but which, indeed, every cOuntr.
under a system of government conform
able to the laws of God may and can ex-
hibit, as well.

Words of Wisdom.
Cheated men have long memories.

Cheated men have long memories.
A fool and his fathers money are soor
parted.
Popular opinion is the greatest lie il
the world.
Never despair; but if you do, work Oh
in despair.
Do not meddle with business you know
nothing Of.
Never trouble trouble till trouble
troubles you.
Virtue requires no other recompense
than the tribute of selfapprobation and
respect.
PoIiteness is money, which enriches
not him who receives it, but him who
dispenses it.
Politeness is like an air cushion. There
may be nothing solid in it, but it eases
jolts wonderfully.
The conscience has to do, not with fit
ness, or expediency, or advantage, but
with right and wrong.
Deliberate with caution, but act with
decision; and yield with graciousness,
or oppose with frmness.
It would be well if we had less medi-
cine and more cures, less cant and more
pity, less law and more justice.
Next in point of meanness to doing a
man an injury is to do him favor, and
every now and then remind him Of it.
Style is the only frame to hold our
thoughts. It is like the sash of a
window heavy sash will obscure the
light.
Good nature, like a bee, collects its
honey from every herb. Ill nature, ike
a spider, sucks poison from the sweetest
flowers.
The ordinary employment Of aTtifiCe is
the mark of a petty mind, and it almost
always happens that he who uses it to
cover himself in one place uncOyers HIM
self in another.
Ifyou were as willing to be pleasant
and as anxious to please in your own
home as you are in the company of your
neighbors, you would have the happiest
home in the world.
The happiness of your life depends
upon the quality Of your thoughts
therefore guard accordingly, and take
care that you entertain no notions un-
suitable to virtue and unreasonable to
nature.
Warm your body by heaithful exer-
else, not by covering over a stove. Warm
your spirit by performing independently
noble deeds, not by ignObly seeking the
sympathy of your fellows who are no
better than yourself.
Nothing is easier to men of genius,
nothing more certainly a proof and part
of it, than to compose what raises mems
wonder and admiration; nothing more
difficult than to show them distinctly the
simplest and most obvious truth.

Detectives McDevitt and Yoss, to whom tho
case was assigned, have been tracking John
l.. Franklin, alias Daily, one of the alleged
thieves. John r. Ihrie, Franklin's accom-
plice, was arrested few days ago, and Is
now in Jail. Franklin went South when he
left the city and has kept constantly moving.

then to Danville. Va, then to Greensboro,

The officials of Goldsboro' wero notified,
but for some reason failed to make tho
arrest. Franklin left the town, and the
detectives for while lost trace of
him. Then he turned up in Buford,
whence he went to Raleigh, N. G., and then re-
turned to Goldsboro, where the detectives sue.

left for Goldsboro' last Sunday, taking with
him a copy of the Indictment charging Frank
lin with tho robbery of $3.50 from the safe at
the Marshall House, The officer returned last
night with his prisoner. Franklin and Ihrie
were employees at the Marshall House. On tho
