There was very general belief among
people here that the severe clap of thunder
heard here several nights ago struck some
where in the city, but no one had been
able to find the spot, until last evening,
when, by mere accident, gentleman
standing near the base of the Democratic
flag pole, on Ohio levee, noticed huge
rent in the northery side of the pole, ex-
tending from the point at which q wire guy
rope is attached down into the ground.
The wire has been loosened, and hangs
close 10 the pole; and it seems that the
electricity glided down the wire until it
came in contact with the pole and then
made its way down into the ground on
that, blowing into the wood several
inches deep and tearing it into shreds. The
split is evidently of very recent occur
renee; hence, the reasonable conclusion
that Wednesday nights thuuderbolt made
it. The damage to the pole is not so as to
render it unsafe.

The heart OF The earth now no more dwells alone,
Its thoughts have found voice In the song OF the
birds,
Its dreams In the tints Of the flowers found words
It's life to the sunshine up.leapng has flown.
Oh, wine Of Its veins to the human heart pour,
And waken to life all tho world hidden there,
Then thought unto thought Of the poetli'e rare
Shall echo and speak In the souls secret lore.
Each heart hath Its Eden all perfumed and sweet
Its fruit on the bough but awaiting ahand,
Its ha'f opened buds. Its cool streams and gold
sand
soul,thoughts that go rowing twin.splrits to meet
All shining aud bright from Its Paradise flies,
The dream from one mind to another that knowa;
The bud that Is given returns as a rose,
The bird that flew forth sends a song from the
skies.
Each ands a voice that soft answers Its own,
Songs come ia. the bird and sweet breath to the
lowers
And mind over mind waves It's sceptre-like power
And thoughts that were seeking no more seek
alone.

The time Of singing birds is here,
The festival of all the year,
When, robed In green, and decked with bloom
Bright Nature bids farewell to gloom.
This Is the month that poets sing;
The sweetest of the Weakening spring,
Aud happy he, whose natal day
Has CHANGED upon the month Of May.
To-day with music and with flowers,
Your friends have come to bid the hours
Pass lightly and with JOY be gone
These hours that hail you twenty'one.
All kindly wishes on the day
All tender words that love car say
Long may your smiling face DO bright
As now upon your birthday night.
May all the ars thatIcome to-you,
FndBou as honest, kind and true,
Az when this mornings cheerful sun
Raseup, and called you twenty-one.
bring these simple lines tonight,
--Brightened with friendships rosy light;
| need not brilliant words to seek,
When to kindly heart speak
And 80, as runs the simple rhyme,
Which we have spoken many time,
MAY all your birthdays happy DO
And very many may you see."

expedient for the government-munioip
the country means of obtaining free in
struction. What were formerly known as
the common school branches of education
are necessary to every person who wishes
to become good citizen. The common
school branches of to-day, however, are
not necessary. We do not wish to confine
the free education of the people to in
structiOn in the three Rs-"readin', 'ritin',
and 'rithmetic" insist that common
school education should not comprise the
higher collegiate studies that consume
years of youths time and leave him on
the verge of manhood without any useful
knowledge of the practical details of bust
ness or industrial life. There is no more
useless being on the face of the
earth than the young man who has just
graduated from one of our free high
schools, without money to start in bust
ness and utterly ignorant of the means
whereby he can obtain livelihood. 1t
may be we'll enough for him if he has
money, but if this is the case he should pay
for his education and not ask it from the
charity of the public.
But laying aside this branch of the SUBJ
ject, we hold that it would be inexpedient,
unwise, and wasteful for the general gov
eminent to expend any sum of money,
large or small, in the manner proposed IN
aid of education. In the first place, the
money would not educate. In order to
make such a fund applicable there must
be law making attendance upon school
compulsory, species of tyranny against
which the people would instantly
rebel Again, it is not probable that more
than ten per cent. of the money appropri-
ated would ever reach the schools. Those
who suppose the contrary are not familiar
with the absorbent capacity of public Off
Gals through whose hands the cash would
be filtered. Some idea may be gained from
Gen. Logan's description of how the funds
for the education of the Indians are now
applied-tens of thousands of dollars paid
for salaries, for school houses that are
never occupied, for books that are never
opened, and for maps that are never
scanned. Such fund would educate the
officials in the mysteries of addition, di-
vision and silence" but that is all. 1t
would merely be fund for instruction in
knavery.
The common schools now in existence
furnish means enough for the education of
the young in all that pertains to or will aid
them in attaining good citizenship, and
goes even further. Mr.. Mayo and others
may be sincere in believing that the bill
referred to will confer blessings upon the
country, but in the opinion of the GLOBE
the appropriations sought can only be pro-
ducti-e of harm.

MADRID, Jan. IA ministerial crisis
was caused in consequence of the differ
ence between Camacho, minister of finance,
and Albareda, minister of commerce and
agriculture, at the cabinet council yester-
day to discuss the budget with view to
reducing taxes and at the same time in
crease the revenue. Camacho proposed
the sale of state forest lands on the mount
aims, valued at 100000 pesetres in order
to provide funds to pay during term of
eight years, the increased interest on the
public debt a commencing in
July. Albareda strongly opposed the
proposal, and benig unable to agree
both he and Camacho rendered their resig-
nations To-day tho ministers met agai n
and after a four hours elaboration, an
agreement being impracticable, resolved
to resign in body. In presenting his
resignation to the king, Ssgasta, president
Of the council, stated that he would return
to the palace at noon tomorrow and re-
ceive the royal command. 1t is believed
he will be invited to form a new cabinet
comprising some of the outgoing minis
tiers. The crisis is most unexpected,
and caused great sensation.

The Chicago bucket shops have won at
least temporary victory over the board
of trade, and will continue to receive re-
ports of the condition of the markets and
to lure the young into the vortex of specu-
lation and ruin. In legal sense they
have, perhaps, an equal right with others
to the market reports, yet it is to be re-
GREETED that they make such bad use OF
their privileges, and that means cannot be
found to put stop to their operations.
Still, as long as the great board of trade,
whose members wager thousands upon a
turn of the market, is tolerated, the little
bucket shops that bet smaller amounts
cannot be suppressed by law. Both are
gambling hells"~of the worst description,
though it is fashionable to hold a member
shop in one and disreputable to be seen
entering the doors of the other.

NATToNIL lid TO EDUCATION.

The GLOBE this morning publishes an
abstract of lecture delivered at Plymouth
church last evening by Rev. A. D. Mayo,
of Boston, in advocacy Of the proposition
now before congress to make mammoth
appropriation from the treasury in aid of
education, the money to be parcelled out
to the states in proportion to the illiteracy
shown by the last census to exist. As it is
the policy of the GLOBE to give all propo-
sitions of public nature that may be Sc
riously entertained fair hearing, no apol-
ogy is necessary for the publication re-
ferred to. The GLOBE, however, must beg
to differ wholly from the views of the rev.
erend gentleman, both as to the expedien-
cy of the measure, and as to the duty of
the government in the premises.
In the first place it is not the duty of
any government to educate its citizens.
1t may be expedient, but that is different
question. There is no better reason for
furnishing free education than there is
for furnishing free food. It is true that
education has tendency to improve the
mental character of the citizens, but at the
same time good food improves them phys
ically, and the physical condition of the
people of a nation has as much to do with
its greatness as their mental superiority.
Whatever educational facilities are afford
ed grataitously are benefactions that
should be appreciated, but they do not
give anyone the right to demand them, nor
do they impose upon the government the
duty of increasing them or even of contir-
uing them.

CLEVELAND, Jan. Cen. Devereux and

Plate board of directors, which is the same
as president of the company. Mr.. Van
derbilt was elected till the annual meeting
of stockholders, to be held here on the Both
inst" Judge Burke thinks it possible
some changes may be made in the board
then, but cannot say whether young Van
derbilt will be reelected or not. 1t has
been understood here for some time that
Gen.D evereaux would accept the presidency
under certain conditions, enc of which is
this, that the road Should be operated in
dependently of the Lake Shore. 1t is ru-
mored here also that if Gen. Devereux be
comes president of the Nickel Plato, John
Newell will Immediately resign as general
manager of the Lake Shore. Judge Burke
discredits the report that Lake Shore
bonds were sold to pay for the Nickel
Plate line.
