A New ATLANTIC CABLE.-According to
the London correspondent of the New
York World, an American company has
contracted with the firm of Siemens Broth.
ers to construct and lay two Atlantic cables
from Penzance, in Cornwall, to Whitehead,
in Nova Scotia, touching at Sable Island.
The price to be paid for these wires when
completed will be 91,5OO,OOC, and the work
upon them is to commence at once. The
new cable company will begin work with
the great advantage of being at only one,
sixth the debt of the other companies,
which it has cost, altogether, some sec, OOO,-

Be Good to Poor Children.

Some little girls are very proud, and
when they are clad in gay attire, will not
associate, or even speak to a playmate who
Is dressed in calico. This is very WRONG.
Miss -! Little - is Just as good at
heart as you are, and would like to wear
pretty dressed; but her father is not able
to procure them for her on account of sick
ness which has kept him from work, and
the necessaries of the family are only
gained by the use Of the needle in the
hands of her mother. No wonder YOUR
little friend drops tear when you pass bv
her without even friendly nod of your
head. Or, what is worse, if you happen
to pass by her in company with playmate
quite as richly clad as yourself, perhaps
you remark loud enough to be heard,
something about cheap calico, and then
both laugh boisterously. This is very
wrong, my little friend, and you must re-
member that fine clothing does not make
the woman, nor the man; neither is it
good manners, even though your father be
well-tc'do, to pass by the children of the
poor with snesr. Little boys, in general,
although born of rich parents, will asso.
ciate with poor children, especially if they
are entertaining and are full of fun, but
little girls, am sorry to say, learn to put
on airs early, and often slight their super.
iors, because they are not clad in as high
priced garments as they. little girl who
has good manners and a good heart and
who tries to be little lady will not do this.
SO, my little friends, try to be lady.like
to every one and you will have many
friends who will enjoy seeing you.

one power can undertake it, and
that is the supreme power of the

can cope with the greatness of the
problem, or carry out its restric-

A MEASURE OF GREAT I'M
PORTANCE.

The senate committee on educa-
ton and labor has just reported a
bill of great Importance to the
whole country, and particularly to
Tennessee and the other southern
states.
1. 1t dedicates the proceeds of
the sales of the public lands and
the net proceeds of patents to edu-
cational purposes. 1t reserves to
the government the supreme power
of control, and especially with re-
gard to the fulfllment of its obi
cations to soldiers for bounty lands,
and to regulate the question of pre-
emption, to grant lands to actual
settlers, &c.
In other words, only the proceeds
Of lands actually sold and the net
profits of patents to be sold are thus
dedicated.
2. The money received is to be
invested by the government, and
the interest to be paid to the states
and territories.
For ten years the division to be
made between them in the ratio of
illiteracy. From this provision it
will be seen that for ten years the
southern states will be far more bene-
fitted by this act than the other
states of the union. After that ne.
riod the division will be made in the
ratio of scholastic population.
8. No state or territory shall be
entitled to receive its ratable part
unless it shall open and maintain
public schools for its scholastic pop
ulation for three months in each
Knoxville daily chronicle. [volume] (Knoxville, Tenn.) 1870-1882, 1880-03-19

year down to 1885. After that
date the schools must be opened
and maintained for four months in
each year.
a. One,third of this income
shall be applied to the use of the
| agricultural colleges, endowed
with land script under the act of
1862, or to special industrial
schools, until the income of such
colleges, etc, shall equal $4,000
per annum, when payments to
them shall cease.
5. For a limited time the states
may apply one-half the net income
to the maintenance of normal
schools. After that only ten per
cent. thereof.
The unsold lands now exceed one
thousand millions of acres, but it is
not probable that exceeding two
hundred millions possess much value.
The remainder are arid mountain
lands.
These are the essential features of
the bill and their vastimportance on
the educational interests of the
country are SO apparent that COM
ment would be superhuous.
1t is not doubted that the bill will
pass both houses of congress at this
session.
General Burnside, senator from
Rhode Island, and Hon. Jas. E.
Bailey, of our own state, are partic-
ularly earnest and active in the SEN
ate in the advocacy of this great
measure. And these worthy sena-
tors are entitled to the thanks of
men of all parties for their exer>
tions in the cause of education.

EVERYBODY is talking of Cincin-
natl now and of the great banquet.
With one accord they are lauding,
in highest terms, Cincinnati's liber-
atty. We do not wish to detract
from the Queen City the least praise
to which she is entitled. On the
contrary, all honor, to her. She
has, unaided by Tennessee capital,
built a great railroad through
portion of this state, which like a
nourishing artery, will carry new
and fresh blood into our semie
dormant section. But if this bans
quet is liberality, Knoxville ought
to manage to have one about four
times year if she had to import a
two>headed boy, or live wife
murderer, or better still, get
up real hanging to attract
a crowd. This latter will perhaps
be easiest managed, because it will
be no trouble to get the amiable
editor of the Tribune, or the smasher
of the Dispatch, in whose bosoms
burn such a devoted love for their
city, to offer, themselves a living sac>
rifice for her. We repeat, Knox
vile ought to be thus liberal at
least four times year. Why -?
Well. observe these fguresl
Two thousand southerners are
brought into Cincinnati by the
great fete. Now, Cincinnati
gives only two things free-the
tickets to the banquet and the free
passes. She expends $4,000 (all
in CincinnatD on the first mentioned
affair, and about $4,000 in incident
al disbursements-also all spent in
Cincinnati. On the other hanC
these 1900 visitors will be there
about four days and their hotel bill
will average So per day each
which amounts to $12, and tn
grand total is 1924, 900. Then thes
visitors will each spend 81 da.
for sundries or So for the Who'll
time, which amounts to $4,000
Then the visiting merchants viii
buy of the Cincinnati houses good
to the amount of $4,000, at tn,

will be added to her current cash
not counting the $4,000 which i

to Judge from the tone of the Colorado
press, and it seems short-sighted policy for
congress to leave the matter in its present
unsettled shape. With the Ute Indians
wandering all over their reservation aud
prospectors coming in from all points daily,
collisions are likely to occur between the
Indians and whites, and consequent jeop-
ardy of life and property.
All trouble can be avoided and amicable
arrangements made between the two races
if this bill is acted upon promptly and be-
comes law
As heretofore stated in these columns the
agreement is one greatly to the advantage
of the government and to the people of the
state and those who anticipate settling in
Colorado. The bill provides for commits
sion TO settle these Indians in severalty
upon lands selected for the purpose, which
will have the effect to destroy the tribal re-
lations and place the Utes subject to the
laws of the state in which they reside. 1t
opens up vast mineral country, rich in
wealth and only awaiting the strong arm of
the miners, who are ready and eager to get
to work thereon and develop its resources.
On Friday an effort was made by Mr..
HOOKER to procure consideration on the
Choctaw settlement bill at the session on
Wednesday night, but the House by vote
refused to consolidate the two measures,
whereupon Mr.. HOOKER, who, by the way,
is member of the committee on Indian
affairs, made significant remark that
the Colorado delegation would have
n "sweet time" in getting through
the Ute bill. 1t is TO be hoped that no mar
row-minded consideration will be allowed
to prejudice this very important matter, as
the two schemes are separate and distinct
the Ute bill being one of national import
ance, the Choctaw bill being one which
affects only few interested parties. That
being the case, Mr. HOOKER and those who
will be directly benefited by the Choctaw
matter must be content to stand aside until
the Ute agreement is ratified affecting as il
does 1000 Indians and 100000 whites. Il
properly handled the bill can be passed to-
morrow night, and the work of settling the
Utes and opening the reservation to ex-
plorers and settlers can be begun speedily
