The Man With an Income and Nothing TO
Do

A man who has nothing to do is pit
liable object. He is simply kept man.
He is living on charity Some amiaMe
snoozer, now dead, has left him the
money he lives on, and all he has to do
is TO draw the money and eat, drink and
sleep. No eyes can brighten with hap
piness when he comes home, because he
only comes home when the other places
are closed. He cannot come home
tired, and be petted and rested by will
ing hands, because it would be a mock
cry to pet tired man who had got tired
doing nothing. Such a man simply ex-
lists and is no good on earth. II he
would wheel a barrow and earn a dol
lar, and get tired, and buy beefsteak
with the dollar, and have it cooked, and
eat it while the appetite was on that he
got wheeling the barrow, he would
know more enjoyment than he had ever
known before. That man with nothing
to do on earth no doubt thinks, as he
lays around and smells frowsy, that he is
enjoying life, but he knows no more
about enjoyment than tom-cat that
sleeps all day and goes out nights to
play short-stop to lot of bootacks and
beer bottles. Such manis cipher, and
does not know enough to 60 in when it
rains. II there were less incomes left to
lazy young fellows, and more sets Of
carpenter tools, there would be more
real enjoyment. HARRINGTON HaWkeye

CAIRo's COLORED SCHOOLS.

The Cairo correspondent of the St. Louis
Gobe.Democrat, in communication to
that paper under date Of Tuesday, states
the colored school problem briefly, forcibly
and tIuthfully as follows:
your correspondent visited the coored
school building to-day, and while finding
everything in perfect order, teachers on
hand fires burning, plenty Of coal, and not
drop of sipe water to wet the feet of the
children, the absence of scholars IN attend
ance was conspicuous, not over dozen
pupils being present out of registered list
Of over 200. Inquiry developed the fact
that the rest of the flock were on the streets
idle, running hither and thither, and kept
there through the efforts of few ignorant,
uneducated negroes, some of them preach
ers, who, during their nightly orgies IN the
negro churches here, have succeeded in ac-
curing most tyrannical influence over
their congregations by playing upon their
crelulity and superstition and are the main
instigators Of the movement which keeps so
many colored children in idleness upon the
streets. The white tax payers of the city
are firing Of this condition of things and
are asking that the public schools be dis
continued and the teachers paid off unless
larger attendance of colored children is
| reported. To prevent a recurrence of this
condition of affairs wherein the entire
school system Of the city is disorganized
and interrupted by few fanatca colored
vagsbonds, bill probably be presented in
the legislature during the session making
certain educational qualifications necessary
before license to preach is granted to any
one. While this measure would result in
a very large increase IT the coorcd labor
| ing population, the amount of ignorance
and general deviltry which now curses the
colored pulpits would be reduced to such
on extent az to result very much to the
benefit of the race at large.

A POINTED REBUKE.

Probably the most effectual thrust that
could have been administered to Bishop
Xix, the ignorant and arrogant distuber OF
our public schools, was given him yester.
day by Captain w. p. Halliday, who is
one of the school directors. Captain
Halliday has always felt much pride in all
our public schools, has looked upon this
agitation with critical eye, and has taken
pains TO post himself as to the grounds of
the complaints made by the colored people
He has made daily visits to the colored
schools since the agitation began, and has
satisfied himself that there is no Just ground
for complaint
Yesterday Captain Halliday made his
usual visit, and as he entered one of the
upper rooms, Bishop Rix, who, strange to
say, was also there, rose slowly from his
seat and with an air of conscious superiority
that was ludicious to behold slowly
drswled forth as follows:
Captain Halliday, will you low me to
ak you a few questions9"
Certainly" replied Captain Halliday
calmly, "but on one condition"
Thegreat champion; San what's catln
Captain Halliday: 81 want you first TO
solve the simplest arithmetical problem, or
write your own name on this black board
here, )" pointing to the wall.
The great coOred devlne and self-consti-
tuted champion Of public school education
was taken completely by surprise and
doggedly intima,ed that he could not com
ply with the conditions asked for, and with
some pointed sentences as TO the compe-
tence Of the would-be questioner to form a
correct judgment of matters pertaining to
the public schools, to critlcise and catechise
others in their management of them, and
bis right 10 stand in the way of the educa-
ton of colOred children, Captain Halliday
resumed his tour of inspection.

moving west, you will not wonder at my
alarm when observing that the moons
forces had been increased to the greatest
possible extent and that, too, when she is
Fastening with other planets from the south
to the north across the equator. This was
exactly the condition OF things during this
storm, and only one element was lacking to
have made this a terrible affair for the peo-
pie of America. For mark it well, il the
moons conjunction with the sun had taken
place at o'clock on the meridian of Lon.
don, instead of o'clock in the morning.
London time--in other words, if the con-
junction had taken place over the Gulf OF
Guinea, instead of the China sea, the
whole American coast, granting her to have
been, as she was in perigee, would have
been put under water, and the time will
come, though it may be thousands of years
yet, when this will take place; and should
Venus and Mercury happen at that moment
to be at their inferior conjunction, and
Jupster, Mars and Saturn at their superior
conjunction. the breakers will roar in the
streets of New York city and Florida will
be under water. All astronomers, from the
astronomer royal down, will admit the
truth of what say. l make this explana-
ton to show scientific men that my system
OF foretelling storms is not only founded on
science but on the earth and the heavenly
bodies"

. TATE LIE A tt . n
AIN.

The Times erier, like the
chap who said the horse was
seventeen feet high, sticks to
its assertion that Senator Dem
MIS- Equalization bill was drawn
in the interest of the railroad
companies. 1t denies being in
fuenced by feelings of hostility
towards the Senator or intend
ing to question the honesty of
his motive. But for such de-
denials we should most certainly
have supposed that it was the
purpose Of the Tuscarora paper
to create the impression in its
vicinity that their representa-
tive was unfaithful to his
pledges and was playing into the
hands of the railroad corpor-
atiens. If Senate bill No. %
(the Dennis billy was "drawn in
the interest of the railroad cor
porations," the Honorable
Harry Creswell, ex-senator
from Nye county, who has
heretofore been regarded as one
of the ablest and most pro-
nounced anti-railroad men in
the State, is a humbug and a
fraud, for it is his bill, he having
drawn and introduced it in the
Senate six years ago. 1t was
defeated then, as it will be now,
if the railroad influence is
powerful enough to effect it.
Probably the Tlmes-Rerie,c man
is the only person in the State
who ever suspected that the
Creswell bill was a railroad
measure. But the proposition
is too absurd for serious discus
sion. Designation of Williams
or Smyth's bill for the reduction
Of freights and fares as a scheme
Of the railroad lobby would not
be more absurd. The passage
Of such a measure as that intro
duced by Mr.. Dennis was de-
manded by both Of the State
Conventions and it ought to pre-
vail. The members of the Beard
should be State officers who
should be obliged to serve
without extra compensation. If
the people cannot trust those
whom they themselves have
elected the State had better re-
solve itself back int a territory.
In regard to Steve Gage sssu-
CARING up" the champions Of
bills relating to railroad mat
tiers, those who know John Den
mis- personally or by reputation
will hardly believe that he is
simple enough to be deceived
by the most oily lobbyist that
ever buttonholed a member.
He has been there himself, and
the chances are that he knows
what he is about and not liable
to be fooled by any of the tricks
Of the profession. neither is he
likely to be swerved from his
course by such criticism as that
of the Times RerieU-at least
we hope not. In regard to the
substitute reported by the Senate
Ways and Means Committee we
believe it inferior in every re-
spect to the original bill. The
matter is made special order fer
next Tuesday, when we trust
that Mr.. Dennis bill will be
passed, for in Importance it is
second only to the propositions
for the reduction of fares and
freigh,s.
