Persia three thousand years ago The
mcultivated tribes of Greece, Rome,
Lydia and Germany surpassed ms in
this respect. Greeian children were
taught to reverence and emulate the
virtues of their ancestors. Our educa-
tional forces are so welded as to teach
our children to admire most that which
is foreign, and fabulous, and dead in
sist that it should be made an indispens-
able condition of graduation in every
American college that the student
must understand the history of this
continent since its discovery by the
Europeans, the origin and history of
the United States, its constitution of
government, the struggles through
which 1t has to pass, land the rights and
duties of citizens who are to determine
its destiny and share its glory
In referring to that special knowl-
edge which is necessary to fit man
for the particular profession or calling"
which young man may adopt, he
says, you will make fatal mistake if
you make only the same preparations
which your predecessors made fifty or
even ten years ago. Each generation
must have higher cultivation than
the preceding one, in order to be equal
ly successful, and each must be edu-
Gated for his own times. If you be-
come lawyer, you must remember
that the science of law is not fixed like
geometry, but is growth which keeps
pace with the progress of society"
Who has stated more strongly the
absurd practices in our public schools,
which compel children to memOrize
the most of words and sentences,
not understood in single
syllable by them? "Thus
are squandered, he says, may, far
worse than squandered, these thrice
precious years, when the child is all ear
and eye, when its eager spirit with in
satiable curiosity hungers and thirsts to
know the what and the why of the
world and its wonderful furniture. We
silence its sweet clamor by examining
its hungry mind with words, words
empty, meaningless words. 1t asks for
bread and We give it stone 1t is to
me perpetual wonder that any child's
love of knowledge survives the out
RACES of the school-house." Again he
says, school committees would sum-
marty dismiss the teacher who should
have the good sense and courage to
spend three days of each week with her
pupils in the fields and woods, teaching
them the names, peculiarities, and uses
Of rocks, trees, plants and flowers, and
the beautiful story of the animals, birds,
and insects, which fill the world with
life and beauty" "That man will be a
benefactor Of his race, who shall teach
us how to manage rightly the first
years of child's education"

square, and placed in position. The
statute is cast of bronze out of the old pro-

Farragut, with marine glass in his left
hand, with his left foot resting on a block
and tackle. 1t will face south upon pc

about seven feet square. The base is

was something wrong III the ACCOUNTS Oh the
clerk Herring, but just what il was he
could not say. He did not think much OF
value could have been taken from the
safe, as it was used only for small trinkets
and intrinsically yalueless articles. The
articles captured from Booth. and the
pistol and bullet used by him in assassin
ating Lincoln, were among these things.
They would probably be placed in the ma
tional museum next spring. He, how
ever, did not profess any special know

Superstiti0n i'm India.

The London Times says: One Of the
extraordinary and unaccountable pan
les which every now and then break
out in different parts Of India, appears
to be now prevailing in Madras City. A
rumor has got abroad and it is firmly
believed in by the lower classes of the
natives, that the government is about
to sacrifice a number of human beings
in order to insure the safety of the new
harbor works. and has ordered the po-
lice to seize victims on the streets. So
thoroughly is the idea implanted that
people are afraid to venture out after
nightfall There was a similar scare in
Calcutta some seven or eight years ago
when the Hooghly bridge was being
constructed The natives then got hold
of the idea that Mother Ganges, indig-
nant at being bridged, had at last CON
scented to submit to the insult on the
condition that each pier of the structure
was founded ON a layer of children's
heads. These and many similar in
stances that might be quoted did space
allow, show how little our western civ
ilizatio,, even where longest establish

BuLLDoz1sc IN TEXAS.

An Inspector of Customs, Mr.. a. I.
Blssell, had the temerity the other day to
make Republican speech at the town of
Brazoria, Texas. He happened to be pass
ing through the place on business, and
yielded to the solicitations Of resident Re-
publicans. On his return through the
town on his way home he was stopped by
a crowd of Democrats, and called to ac-
count for the speech he had delivered. He
was told that the Democrats didn't pro-
'pose to have any damned Yankees inter
"fering with their affairs" and that "if
"he ever attempted to make any more
"speechss in Brazoria county, or take any
apart in politics, he would slide off as
"Santee did," Santee was Northern
man who had been elected County Clerk
by the Republicans, and who was soon
afterwards shot dead in his own office at
night. This is the way the Texan Demo-
Gratis interpret Hancock's letter, and ex-
press their views regarding "a free ballot,
" a full vote, and a fair count" Is there
any part OF the North where such scene
could have occurred? Is it not only in the
South that such intolerable tyranny and
ruffisnism is allowed to dominate politics.
And what can be thought of the civilization
and capacity for self-government of the
men who perpetrate such outrages, and of
the party that justifies and approves them !,

SOUTHERN views OF HASo0cKs LETTER.

1t is evident from the tone of the South
ern press that Hancock's acceptance of the
Constitutional Amendments in his letter
proved bitter pill to the people Of that
section. In fact. though they do not in
terms repudiate this part of the letter,
they handle it in such way as to make it
plain that they al least have no intention
of accepting the Amendments, and that
they do not even look forward to time
when they will be accepted. Thus the
Meridian Miss, Mercury observes that
Hancock is no doubt aware "that these
1" Amendments are not where they stand by
{" the free will and consent of the people
"they were put there mainly to affect,
land were put there without any of the
"substance of the formalities prescribed
q in the instrument for It's amendment.
cit is history now that they were tackled
and pinned on to the Constitution by
"the bayonet and no man knows that
"better than General Hancock" The
Mercury further opines that a this special
Preference Ito the amendments) has the
appearance of pandering to that Northern
sentiment so prevalent since the close of
1.-THE war; embodied in the cant phrase that
'the results of the war must be secured"
And it goes on, ''W We will not say that this
Especial allusion is so distasteful to the
Southern people that they will not sup
port him heartily, bit It aoas not the
agreeable thing to hare said" And the
Mercury comforts itself with the final re-
fec.ion that if the amendments are an
"impediment in the path of the future
progress of this great people OF this
"dominant race, the bayoaets aett PIT them
&" there cannot prop them to stand .torerer
" there" These extracts fairly represent
the Southern view, and the paper we have
quoted from is really conservative in its
way. 1t echoes the feeling in the South
in declaring or insinuating that the consti-
tutional amendments are not fnalities, and
that the South still looks forward to the
time when they shall be nullifed. 1t is to
hasten that time that General Hancock's
nauseous dose of loyalty is to be swallowed.
