What Hayes Thought.

While II. Il. Hayes was lodging around
the country in the last days of December,
endeavoring to avoid Grant, he was over
taken in New Jersey by one of the fresh
young men of Mr.. Jay Gould's Tribune.
Observing that the youth said g culture
and that his hair was parted in the mid
die, our habby fraud readily fell into
characteristic interview with him. The
youth desired, of course, to know what
Hayes thought about Maine, because, we
suppose, Mr.. Hayes had nothing to do
with the matter, and his views were OF
no sort of consequence to any mortal.
But Hayes had OpiniOns-wcak, wasfly
Opinions-which he seemed extremely
anxious to squirt abroad through this
callOw medium. and he ran coplously
the moment he was tapped. He thought
Morrill's questions were well enough
as far as they went: but he didn't
think it would core to that -
that is, to the questions the Dem
Ocrats would back down. an ''uiI-
derstanding would be come to. and
the people of Maine had 50 much

ture that they could hardly be cX-
pected to submit.tO the law of the land
as eXpOunded 10y Il Greenback governor

received certificates and according to law
. appear to he elected = would refuse to
take the seats and give them to the men
who do not appear to have been elected.
They will say. lin equity at least you are
entitled to your seats and you may have
them for us This certainly is IA very
remarkable sentiment for Hayes to OK
such reflections occur to him every quar-
ter day when he receives the salary due
to Mr.. Tilden. but we do not rccOllect
that he has ever endorsed over to their

this affair in Maine. lie was entitled to
his seat not only i'll equity but III law.
His majority was enormous it was lc-
gally and regularly returned, and there
was not soul from Maine 10 Texas to
dispute it. But it was fraudulcntly and
forcibly suppressed, and under cover of
Grants bayonets assembled for the pur-
pose Hayes sneaketl into Washington
and on the night of March Sd privately
took the oath of Office. and the next day
assumed the place to which he and all
the world knew Mr.. Tildcn had been
elected. But he evidently imagincs we
have made great progress since that time

themselves who has been elected without

Perhaps the largest quantity OF tobacco
ever received i'll Lancaster on any one day
was received to-day. Before daybreak
pear in front of the several warehouses
and by sunrise the long lines of wagons on
Chestnut, Market, Prince Duke and
Shippen streets rendered these avenues
almost impossible togencrai travel. Some
quarrcls ensued among the teamsters. and
blows We're given and taken by them in
their efforts to obtain priority. Some
wagons which arrived early in the morn
ing. were obliged to wait until afternoon
before they could unload, and it is doubt
full whether those that came in late will be
unloadcd before the shades of night over
take them.
1t is impossible to state accurately the
total amount of to-dayS receipts. At one

Chestnut street - loaded wagons on

sented i'll their schools.
The county superintendent, Mr.. b. F.
Shaub, who has been for years student
in this direction, and is well up in stars and
star groups, inserts the following among
his official notices in the report of the
county institute, which has just been is
sued: g Under the head of general infer
nation applicants may expect to be
questioned-morc particularly than here
tofore-as to their knowledge of the solar
system, the leading stars, and the more
prominent consultations. This grand
subject has been presented in a very prac-
tical manner at successive meetings of the
county institute. Teachers have been SUD-
piled gritnitously with the information
and aids necessary to success in presenting
it, and no text books are needed by their
pupils. It is believed that Lancaster may
take the lead among the counties of the
state in introducing this delightful study
into the schools in Il manner at once easy
and interesting, and the cooperation of all
good teachers is earnestly desired to this
end"
The general information of one who
did not kOw the Moon from the Sun would |
be rather limited, but not to be able to |
distinguish the North Star from Sirius is
ignorance hardly more excusable. 1t is |
like that of the book-wOrm who does not |
know walnut tree from an ash, or will
low from an oak. Once fairly introduced
into the schools, the habit of observing and
the stars and consultations
will go out among the people, and will
contribute for generations to their gratifi-
cation and to their moral as we'll as men-
tal development.
