A Lecture delivered ut the Jackson Coun-

Ohio, December %, 1881, by Ambrose
Leach ir.. ESQ.

At all times, and in all countries Education in

Science vs.. Education.

To those unsophisticated persons who
are in the habit of associating the two
terms inseperably, the above caption may
seem strange, yet there may possibly be
education without any scientific know
ledge, and there certainly is such thing
as scientific knowledge without education.
Take, for instance, the science of medi-
cine. There are hundreds of people in
the world who are yerdant enough to
deem an ordinary English education es-
sential in thoroughly finished doctor.
This is of course an erroneous idea, yet
many persons readily fall into it-even
some of the doctors themselves. One of
the leading physicians of this place hand
ed us, a few days ago, letter written by
a learned doctor not thousand miles
distant from Jackson. The communica-
tion at once establishes the fact that none
of our Jackson doctors can touch him on
p,Lrgi1ag-the English language of
everything good in it.
Who would not place implicit conf
dence in doctor who spells the word
"here"-h-u-r? And could dose of cas-
tor oil act more soothingly upon an over
taxed public than the word sick spelled
s-c-i-c-k?

Cincinnati Times Star (EditorlaD, Jan. rth, 1882.

Every time the..Legislature of Ohio meets,
We expect to see some patriot introduce
resolution or bill for the purpose of regu
lating the school books of the State. This
year two or three days of the session actu-
ally passed before Representative handed
in his bill and his resolution ''to investigate
Van Antwerp, Bragg & Co., of Cincin-
natl" We have never heard any charges
that members of the Legislature had been
bpughtup by Van Antwerp, Bragg & Co.,
nor have we heard that that is the habit of
this firm There is no public demand for
this investigation except on the part of
certain rival publishing houses, to give
them chance to throw mud at our Gin
cinnati institutions. There is nothing in
our laws to prevent a. rival publishing
house from introducing their books into
the school districts of the State, provided
they are cheaper and better than Van Ant
werp, Bragg & Co.'S publications. The
success of the Cincinnati house consists in
the fact that they publish the best books
at the cheapest possible rates, and this rep
utation has been acquired through long
years of labor and by the legitimate ex-
penditure of large sums of money. We
are in favor of the widest competition in
the school book as we'll as any other trade,
and that is secured by the laws of the State
as they now stand. The State, through its
Legislature, should take no part in the
rivalries of the different publishing houses,
and, least of all, should the Ohio Legis-
lature be used by Eastern houses to pull
down q home institution.

Jones, of Jackson.

Representative Jones called on us
on Monday. We see by the proceed
ings Of the Legislature, that he has
introduced four bills, one to protect
men who perform labor on railroads,
one as to costs before Justices of the
Peace, one to prevent lettering and
gaming in saloons, and one to increase
the punishment for getting drunk.
The Columbus correspondent Of the
Cincinnati Enquirer says:
"Mr. Jones, of Jackson County, is
the most radical of all the temperance
advocates"

MAYOR HURST, of Chillicothe, keeps
up the farce Of attempting to enforce
the laws against the liquor sellers,
gamblers and whoremongers Of that
debased city. The Gazette reports two
trials, one against Lewis and one
against Watson. In the Lewis case
the jury stood eleven for acquittal and
one for conviction. In the Watson

three for conviction. In the latter

Washington township still stands
by Smucks, and declares that he is
still holding the Republican party up
by the tail and hind legs, and has
changed Washington township from
pa Democratic majority to-well, we
do not know how much Republican
majority. Then Franklin township
indorses Smucks, and writer in that
township tells US that Smucks would
no doubt make good Congressman,
as his brother, who has no iron or
steel in his soul, generally has more or
less steal in his hands.
Now there is a sorrel horse in the
rear who claims that he has "claims.

d MAcKLEY ESQ.

D. MAcKLEY ESQ,
Dear Sir: have lately read Homer's
Illiad, Virgil's Eneid, Dante's Inferno,
and Millions Paradise Lost. These are
very generally considered the greatest
of all epic poems | think that Pol
locks Course Of Time and Bickers-
teth's Yesterday To-Day and Forever,
belong to the same list. But confn-
ing ourselves to the consideration of
the first four, we find that Homer was
a Greek, Virgil a Roman, Dante an
Italian, and Milton au Englishman ;
and that Of their poems above named,
each was written in the native
language Of its author, each on a DIFF
ferent subject, at different time, in a
different country, amid different influ-
ences, and different surroundings.
cannot pretend to give an analysis
Of these poems, or to institute any
comparisons touching their respective
merits-this would require volumes,
and prodigal expenditure of time and
labor. In many respects, Homer and
Virgil resemble each other, and the
same may be said Of Dante and Mil
ton. Of the first two, I should accord
the palm to Homer, and of the last
two, to Milton.
Dryden-himself a great poet
thus speaks of Homer, Virgil and
Milton:
Three Poets in three distant ages born,
Greece, Italy. and England did adorn.
The first in loftiness of thought surpassed
The next in majesty; in both, the last.
The force of nature could no farther go;
To make third she Joined the former two,*
1t is rather singular that he makes
no mention of Dante, who l think is
eminently deserving of recognition
and of place with the others.
shall not be so presumptuous as to
attempt any criticism on Dryden, or
to suggest any improvement on his
above mentioned eulogy, extravagant
as it is. I do not say that he erred in
preferring Milton. If, in his list for
poetical honor's, he had also included
Dante, he must still have given the
palm to Milton. 1t is not Of his
preference that | complain, but of his
extravaganza in regard to Milton, and
Of his omission in regard to Dante.
Not by any means as a reflection on
Dryden, but simply in order to express
my own estimate of the four greatest
epic poets, submit the following:
Not Grecian. bard from Scios rocky shore.
Whose matchless Illiad lives for evermore
Nor Mantuas bard who sings Eneas fate
Aud cruel Junos unreenting hate,
Nor bard of Florence, who has grandy gone
Through Heaven, the Lake of Fire, and Phlege-
thon-
Not these, nor each, nor all, e'er excel
Miltonic Paradise, or Millions He'll.
Yours Truly,
J. w. LoNGBoN.
