Saved His Life.

James Craig, who keeps a toll bridge in
Virginia, has escaped a frightful death by the
exercise of his inventive faculties. During
the recent hot weather everyone who stop
ped at the bridge to pay the toll thoughtless-
ly observed, 'Ain't it hot?' In addition to
the wear and tear Of his ears, Mr.. Craig
soon discovered that his voice was growing
feeble, for, the exclamation being couched
in the form Of question, courtesy re-
quired that an answer should be returned.
Having kept count for several days he found
that the interrogation was uttered and an
swerel 725 times daily on an average, and
perceived that he should soon talk himself to
death. He therefore determined, while rea-
son yet remained. to avert the impending
catastrophe. He accordingly painted and
hung up in plain view a sign which reads
'sYes, it is very hot" Now when a traveller
pulls up at the bridge, Mr.. Craig simply
points at the sign with one hand, while he
takes the toll with the other.-Tysbune.

National Education.
INTERESTING PAPER on THE ALARMING
STATES.

| At the State University Convention held in
| Albany, \. Y. July II, professor Gardiner
| of the Albany academy read paper upon
national education. 1.-The relation of the
| general government TO the education of the
people" This paper showed an alarming
amount of iliteracy in the United States and
| suggested methods OF removing il. Ii pre-
| sented statistics showing that in 1870 the
voting population of the United States was
1928, 200; the voting population of the
| southern States was 2.315. 900. The litter
ate voters in the United States is $50, 900.
and the same class of voters in the Southern
States number lips, 900. Twenty per cent
of the entire voting population of the
| United States and 45 per cent of
of the voters of the Southern States could
not read their ballots, The total vote
cast and counted at the last general
election in the whole country was Q.
291 900. Advance sheets of census
| reports and careful estimates saw that
| from p to 22 per cent were illiterate.
Ten years ago one voter in five was il
| literate. The proportion is larger to-day.
Sixteen Southern States contain onc-third of
| the entire vote Of the country, and three
quarters of that vote was illiterate. There
| are 4.5, 900 illiterate voters in the Eastern,
Northern and Western States New York
has -, l2o illiterate voters; Pennsylvania,
| 81, los: Illinois, Az: Ohio 1870. These
$4,000 illiterate voters of the North showed
| their destructive power in the riots of 1877,
| and they can decide every contested election.
| The rapid growth of city population and
| iliteracy is an evil omen for American de-
| mocracy. In 1870, illiteracy had grown to
| one-siNth of our population. and in 1880 it
was one-fifih in this State alone Nearly
| fifty per cent. of the iliterate live in cities.
An animated debate followed the reading
| of the paper. 1t was participated in by DIR.
| Murray, secretary Of the board of regents,
| Professor Lowell. Trustee Waterbury, Pro-
fessor Bradley, Professor Dean, Regent Fitch
and Professor Bennet.
Regent Fitch offered resolution favoring
aid from the general government; to the sew
| eral States i'll the matter of popular education
such aid to be apportioned according to the
| ilcteracy i'll the several States. and that the
| resolution be transmitted to Congress. The
| resolution was passed unanimously.
