Bin Apps View on Education.

There's more in the boy than there is
in the college. In these days Of cheap
books, any boy or girl can get an ed
ucation if they want it, but my obser
vation is, that not more than one IN
ten wants an unusual quantity. If the
family take good newspaper and
have a bible and few books in the
house, and tho children do an honest
days work, they'll get along about as
well as the college boys in the long run
and do as much good in the world.
Congress has more smart men than any
pl c I reckon, but if were hunting
for honest men I would cruise around
outside awhile before / went in, and
if 1 were hunting patriots who thought
it sweet to die for their country
wouldn't go iD at all. The best peo-
pie ! know of, and the most reliable
in time of trouble are living an hum
Die life and making no noise in the

MRS. GARFIELD on WOMAN's DU
TVFc

The late number Of the Student,
little paper published by the students
of Hiram College, quotes an cxtraci
from letter written by Mrs. Garfield
to her husband over ten years ago,
and intended for no eyes but his. Il
fell into the hands of President Hins-
dale, who made use of it in a lecture
to the students, and as it showed The
qualities of Mrs Garfelds mind, and
her opinions upon the subject Of wo-
mans work, he gave it to the students.
The extract is as follows:
81 am glad to tell that out of all the
toll and disapointments of the summer
just ended, l have risen up to veto

have been away has won for my spirit

the other other day: "There is no
healthy thought without labor, and
thought makes labor happy" Per

to climb up higher. 1t came to me
one morning when I was making up
bread: said to myself, Hero / am
compelled by an inevitable necessity
to make our bread this summer. Why
not consider it a pleasant occupation
and make it 50 by trying to see what
perfect bread I can make?" 1t seemed
like an inspiration and the whole Of
life grew brighter. The very sun
shine seemed flowing down through
my spirit into the white loaves, and
now I believe my table is furnished
with better bread than ever before;
and this truth old as creation seems
ust now to have become fully mine
that need not be the shrinking slave
Of toll, but its regal master, making
whatever I do yield me its best fruits.
You have been king Of your work 50
long that may be you will laugh at me
for having lived 50 long without my
crown, but I am too glad to have
found it at all TO be entirely discon-
certed even by your merriment. Now

terrible wrong or at least some of it.

happy. Yc,caoh of these claim re-
cognition on account OF the great
work he has done for the party, and
will feel aggricvcd at his failure to Sc
cure a place. Then will begin the
murmurings of dissatisfaction. not of
the people, but OF the disappointed OF
flee seekers. In some Of the states
there are ambitious factions of the
party. each claiming to control the
state and each importuning the presi-
dent for a recognition Of the men be-
longing to its own faction. The good
ofthe country and the perpetuity' of
the great principles of the republican
party are subordinated to personal
ambition. Even in the great state of
Pennsylvania this ambition runs so
high that the Legislature is not, so far,
able to elect United States Senator.
These things are endangering not on
ly the supremacy Of the republican par
ty but the prosperity Of the nation, and
we hope and believe that General Gar
field Will wholly ignore these factions,
and appoint men to Office without ref
e: cnce to the wishes of these disturhers.
We hope TO see no New York man. or
Pennsylvania man in the cabinet'-We
hope to see no man apointed to a cabi-
net Office, for the purpose ofreconciling
Grant or anti Grant faction or any
other faction. Nothing is gained Ly
attempting to buy man or set of men
by yielding TO their threats or
demands. and bold independent course
always makes more friends than true
ulent, or vacillating demeanor, either IN
position or business. But at this time
especially the good OF the republican
party and of the nation at large will be
greatly enhanced by such a course upon
the part of Gen. Garfield toward the
myriads ofpoiitical beggars that now
beseige hin'.

SOME HOPE FOR MISSOURI DEMoC-
RACI.

On Monday last when the general
appropriation bill was under discus
sion in tie House at Jefferson, the
war of words grew hot when the sec
ton relating to the amount OF moneys
to be set apart for school purposes
was reached. The bill as II read, ap-
propriated one fourth of the revenue
for school purposes MIR, Upton
moved 70 strike out lone fourth and
insert lone third" this brought Mr.
Ridgely, of Marion, to his feet; ne
made bitter speech against MIR. up
tons amendment. closing with the fol-
lowing Characteristic language: at IS
= republican measure to create polltl-
cal capital and l hope every democrat
will vote for its rejection" Thus try
ing to force politics into the question
of appropriations for school purposes.
The discus ion was participated IN by
several gentlemen, among whom was
the democratic speaker, MIR. Bashaw,
who sided with Mr.. Ridgely. but was
forced to admit during the debate
that while the republicans had control
ofthe state there had been ten school
houses built where there had been one
built since the democracy came INTO
power: when the vote upon the amend
ment was finally reached, the result
was complete victory for the friends
Of education, enough democrats vot-
ing with the republicans to pass Mr..
Upton's amendment by vote OF o5 to
=. the section as amended them pass
cd. There IS hope for Missouri de-
mocracy yet, and every democrat WHO
cast his vote for Mr.. Upton's amend
nent deserves credit But those "ho
took the other side OF the question
ought to be left at home in future
when law makers are wanted.
