It has become so common to write the
beginning of an elegant, interesting article
and then run it into some advertisement
that we avoid all such cheats and simply call
attention to the merits of Hop Bitters in as
plain honest terms as possible, to induce
people to give them one trial, as no one who
knows their value will ever use anything
else.-Provldence Advertiser.

'Inr remarks Of DR.. lIildreth before the
Board Of Education, published this morn
my, deserve attention. The opinions he
Expresses in regard 10 the proper object
and functions Of the schools are those long
held and expressed By this paper. We
have for years contended that there was u
disposition to depsr. irom the fundamental
idea that nnderlies the Common School
System. and burden it no. only with unnec.
t:t4ary expense but practically useless
eartlcalnm. He shows how the figures are
continually mounting higher, how the de.
mAnI for more school loom is increasing,
and how inadequate are tho results. He
aims to show that much Of the capacity OF
the school houses is taken up with srades
of pupiage that have grown out Of the pres.
ent curriculum Of studies, and that these
advanced studies have, rs 1t were. mono.
poli4ed the space that belongs Of right to
thcelementary branches for the teaching OF
which the schools were organized. As 10
the Doctors plan for bring about proper
distribution Of the present capacity Of the
schools, We Gun only say that is better to
.fa something OF this kind than to start IN
agitation for more room. The room be-
longs TO the Crude of scholars and studies
for which The Common School system was
Instituted, and should not he monorolixed
TO the detriment Of these grades by pupils
OF an advanced line OF studies. ..

From Our Special Correspondent.
WAsnISGToS, December ao.-Seuatcr
John a. Logan spoke for several hours 10.
day in opposition to the bill for the relief
OF fitz John Porter. No speaker in either
House, since the session began, has had
such an audience. The galleries we're
filled md nearly all the Senators were in
their seats, md continued there until the
close to give the most careful attention to
the speaker. There Was a general expccla.
ton that General Logan would unbosom
himself and make spicy speech. and
there was also great curiosity to hearh he
would deal with the adverse opinion and
testimony Of General Grant, his old COM
mander and his political friend.
The speech WAS most severe aryajsu.
ment Of Fitx John Porter and was .deliy-
cred without mincing words, but there was
nothing specially violent or sensational
about 1t; Grant was untasouized, but
was spoken Of with respect. The
speech wis damaging 10 Porter,
but il is said that there IL fixed
majority inthe Chamber for passing the
bill. The opinion is thu. II will get MI the
Democratic votes and also the votes OF
Scwell Of New Jersey, Miller Of California,
Don Cameron and some other Republi.
Guns. 1t is doubtful, however, II tie bill

The sale orthc l,,.cnrnwn. non.i.

rs announced yesterday, the sale Of this
road has been ordered for the 9th OF Feb
ruary, the appraiscment having been COM
pleted. This sale is made to satisfy the
unpaid interest on mortgage bonds other
il!nn the 100000 OF preference bonds with
the proceeds Of which the road was finally
completed to the Ohio river. On these
preference bonds the interest has been
paid up. The unpaid interest OH other
mortgages amounts 10 something over
million OF dollars, and It is to satisfy this
overdue and unpaid interest that the sale
has been ordered.
The sale will OF course wipe out the
stock. und President Chamberlain aud his
associates will acquire the road. This no
doubt has been the programme for long
time past. And while it is Il perfectly legal
transaction 1t is one that does not reflect
credit ~ II iorbearing transaction on those
who arc parties 10 1t.
Tile road has been doing well, all things
considered, this year. It hus paid Off Mi
its floating debt, and has an increasing
businessat paying rates. Had the men ut

ness in the spirit OF perfectly iair and
square dealing they could have funded the
overdue interest and met It ia the next
year or two as they have met the floating
Indebtedness. Or again they could have
rcorgani2el the road on Il basis OF both
bonds and stock, rs the Marieita and Gin
cinna,i road was lately 1eorganized or as
ths, Chesapeake 4 Ohio was rcoreauized at
III earlier day.
But this does not seem 10 have been the
programme. II WIS too slow ind perhaps
10 equitable Il process. The conclusion
has been to 50 for all that was in sight and
