The Pasture Bars.

If all the skies, do believe,
Had all the year withholden
Their gala tints to guild that eve
1t would ma been more golden;
The wee birds would ma sing SO fine
If they had been invited
The cows came proudly in line,
As if they were delighted.
We linger'd by the pasture bars
Till sunset changed to cleaning,
Till twilight clustered into stars,
And through the clouds went roaming I;
And when the moon glowed up the sky
1t found us still belating
Yet none but my own Joe and
Knew why the COWS were waiting.

The japanese are making very rapid
progress in education. 1t had it's be-
ginning not quite eleven years ago. In
1872 not less than $4,000 government
schools were established, conducted on
European principles, the average of
schools being one to every $40 in
habitants. In two years the number
OF schools was augmented until the
pupils exceeded 100000. If at the
commencement of this wonderful
educational movement there was some
confusion, owing to the incapacity of
European teachers and the want of in
terchange of language, these troubles
passed away. The number of pupils
Immediately after 1873 rapidly in
creased, until in 1877 in the seven
school districts nearly $1,000 male
teachers, with 1875 female teachers.
were educating |, ,552, 2,4l0male and 543,-
76o female pupils. There is, then, an
elementary school for every 1,345 in
habitants and for every four and one
eight square miles Of the empire. TAX
ing the total children in Japan of an age
to go to school as 5,251 ,S07, seventy
one per cent. derive the benefits of in
struction. Leaving out of considera-
tion the higher branches of knowledge,
only derlyable from special schools,
the effort seems to tend toward the
education of the masses. Looking at
the expenses, some five years ago, with
an appropriation of $5,364,870, the
cost of education was ten shillings, say
$2.2O per pupil. The liberalty of the
japanese and their firm belief in the
great advantages to be derived from
this general education becomes mani
fest when it is learned that in five
years about SO, 100000 of our money
has been bestowed by private indi-
yiduals for the school fund, together
with great deal of valuable real
estate. Three years ago there were
2,3l9,OOO pupils, and, from such ac-
counts as may be gathered last year, the
total number was near 100000
There is one point which, in an educa-
tonal sense, requires correction, and
that is in regard to the japanese girls
as the number Of these is very small in
proportion to the boys.

The prospects of Mexico were never
more encouraging than at this mo-
ment. With the introduction of
American capital and enterprise the
country seems to have started upon a
new career of prosperity and peace,
and the message of President Gonzales
to the congress of the republic, at its
recent opening, does not in the least
exceed the probabilities of the case
when it predicts for it a future of sub
stantial progress in all the elements of
prosperous statehood. An official state
ment shows that the revenue of the
republic for the last fiscal year was
S3O,O0O,O00, while from 1867 to 1877 it
averaged only $16,000,00O. AS the
country is opened by the railways now
being constructed, and its resources
are made accessible, the present pros
porous pace will be greatly accelerated,
and men now in middle life may live
to see the completion of the transfor-
nation which American influence has
SO happily begun.

Another myth is going the way of
all the earth. a scientific investigator
says that the stories of the pomp, the
riches, the palaces, the gold and silver
OF the Aztecs was a Spanish lie told by
Cortez to enhance the romance of his
conquest. The scientist reasons that
1t would be utterly impossible for a
race to disappear and take with it all
the evidences Of its civilization us the
Aztecs must have done if they are
what the Spaniards represented them.
The ruins found in Central America
belonged to an older and different race.
The Aztecs were never civilized. In
the time of Cortcz they were precisely
like the Pueblo Indians of modern
days; their cities were nothing more
than vast communal houses like those
in which the PUeblOs live, and all the
stories of their magnifcence and of
the wealth and civilization of the Az
tee empire were invented by the Span
iards. They adopted the methods
OF building employed by the Spaniards;
suffered their old communal houses
made of sun-dried brick to crumble
into shapeless mounds, and learned the
art of revolution, and so became the
MeXicans of modern times.

st. Isaac's, the great cathedral at st.
Petersburg, which was finished in 1859
and cost $25, 100000, is slowly sinking
into the ground, and the authorities do
not know how to stop it. The Rus
sian capital is built upon a marsh, and
the site of st. Isaac's is on offe Of its
softest parts. Over S1,000,000 was
originally spent in driving piles, but
the building has never been firm, and
now threatens to topple over at one
corner A recent examination showed
that on one side the columns had sepa-

space of three inches between. The

men left in fear and the engineers gave
up the job as Il bad one. Since then
nothing has been done except to hold
consultations and reject impractical
plans for saving the building.

FACTS AND COMMENTS,

If the Sanitary Engineer can be cred
tied, the consumption of the smoke
from locomotives is just as prac-
ticable as the consumption of that from
stationary boilers. An engine invented
by California mechanic has been ex-
perimented with, and not only con-
sumed the smoke, but saved fifty per
cent. of fuel in doing so. The con-
sumption is effected by a downward
draft which throws smoke and cinders
into the fire box. If the invention
really is a success it will rob railway
travel of one of its worst terrors.

at graduated scale of interest running

cent. for ten years, and FIVE per cent. for

for the whole period OF thirty years.
This may be accomplished by consent

Board, whose duty it should also be to act as
sinkingfund commissioners.
To this we are told the bondholders will
object that the fnn1iDg bonds of srTCh Liqui-
dating Board would not be valid, would not
be as good security as those they replaced.
To that we have to answer that they would
be quite as good security as any refunding
bonds the Taxing-District Council might
issue, unless the Taxing District was made
responsible for them, as in the fifty
cent act, in a way that would ad

District Council could have no powers of
settlement conferred upon it superior to
those that are, or may be, conferred upon
the Liquidating Board, except the right to
levy taxes. The act of the Legislature in
settlement of the debt of Memphis may be
made equally as operative or binding, and
az definite, through the Board of Liquida-
ton as through the Council, and, as has been
shown already in the willingness with which
the people have paid the tax under the
thirty-three and one-third settlement, will be
equally as effective with the taxpayers.

Ex-Secretary Blaine next week will testify

An investigation of the rate of wages of
farm labor, made by the statistician of the
department of agriculture, shows an increase
of twenfy-four per cent. since 1879 in the
Eastern States. From 1875 to 1879 the de-
cline was heaviest in the manufacturing
sections, where artisans were thrown out of
employment to depress farm wages. The
advance since 1879 has been fourteen per
cent. in the Western States, and thirteen per
cent. in the Southern States.
