The people of Buffalo, MY, are feeling con-
siderable anxiety over the arrival in this
city during the past few weeks of great
number of Polish emigrants; not because
they fear that Buffalo will become the head
quarters of a revolutionary movement. but be-
couse the tenements are overcrowded with
the newcomers, whose personal habits are
not of the cleanest. and an epidemic of some
sort is regarded as not an impossible result
of the influx. The authorities are taking
commendable precautions, however, to pre-
vent the spread of disease.

Another Proposition.

1t has been proposed-and this is our
proposition--since Col. Munford has
purchased the Pickett building that he
found great school Of philosophy
there, such in this day as was the school
of Athens in Its day. We speak OF its
founders as heathens, and shall we by
our acts confess that we are inferior to
themS The number of primary, pre-
paratory and collegiate schools and uni
versities are quite sufficient, but these
schools do not meet the want--they are
and have proved themselves engines of
power, but with all that, they are schools
of brick and mortar, of profit and gain
to individuals, corporations, societies,
churches and States they are schools
of houses, towers, observatories, instru-
ments and apparatus rather than schools
of mind as was that of Socrates. We
want schools of mind and thinkers for
scholars, rather than monumental
houses for schools and fast yoang men
and fancy young ladies for students.
If you visit any Of our leading schools
you are first shown the splendors Of
their architecture, the magnlfcenetSlrt
their buildings, furnitEe, outfits, Sppa-
ratus, Instruments, observatory and
general appointments, and perhaps in.
cidentallXayou may be invited t6come
back at a certain hour and hear a lee
tuIe on some subject. Evidently the
impression made and that sought to be
made is that the outfit is the school. MOI
so with Socrates. When Euclid wen

We had some thought of going
down to Nashville this week, but the
immense throng that now crowds the
city, together with little personal exl
perience we had there at the Centenni1
al in getting hotel accommodations
dissuaded us. The Hotel de Baird, IN
which we then lodged, is not suitable
for winter accommodations and our
quarter-master, Ritchey, couldn't go to
provide others, and then it might turn
out that we had gone long ways to a
uneral and defeat of Democracy.

Another Enterprise Proposed.

We are informed that gentleman
who has been over the route aud exam
ined it proposes to build railroad from
McMinnville to Beersheba, Is miles,
for $4,000. He is an engineer and
knows whereof he speaks. At the
foot of the mountain, where Beersheba
is plain to view, he proposes to erect
IAN incline plane elevator, by which pas
sengers can be elevated at once to the
hotel without going the two miles of
zigzag road by which the ascent is now
made Such a railroad would not only
make Beersheba the summer resort of
the South, but would develop the re-
sources of fine, rich valley, bounded
on either side by the overhanging
mountains Of inexhaustible coal and
other valuable minerals, as well as fur.
nish an outlet for untold amounts OF
timber, barter and farm products, and
still make McMinnville the market fol-
all this mountains region. What say
our people?
