On SATURDAY next the us House of Rep
resentatives will consider the bill to appro-
pirate money to educate the people of the
country, and to be distributed among the
several States according to the ratio of H.
literacy. Mr. Flower, ofNew York says "his
State educates her own people, but half the
people of his State were never, like those in
the Southern States, the slaves of the other
half, and all of them pay taxes and help to
educate themselves, while in the South the
whites alone pay taxes and are compelled to
educate the negroes. And the New York
Herald also says 1T is the duty Of every
State to educate its own children, and if
every State performed this duty there would
be no occasion for the nation 10 assume the
burden but the Herald seems to forget
that the nation imposed the burden of ed
ucating the negroes by liberating them, and
as it at the same time impoverished their
masters it is as little as it can do to assist the
latter in bearing that burden. That for the
good of the whole country The negroes should
lie educated is proved by the fact that their
ignorance and gulliblity ofthose in this State
induced them to vote for the Reputation of

NO USE FOR THEM
Concerning Certain Relics of the Past-Does that
have had Their Day

George Stephcnsons Rocket" and the mapniG.
cent locomotives of today, are built upon tho
same general principle, yet the machine with
Which tho great engineer astonished his age is
Interesting now only as an illustration of the be.
ginning of the invention. There were plasters
with holes in them long before BENSON's CAP.
CINE POROUS PLASTER surprised both the
puolc ana the Physicians: and the triumph of
the Capcinc is founded upon the partial successes
or the utter failures of its predecessors. Every
thing Of value in the old porous plaster is retain
cd IN the Capcnc; but at this point all compari.
son ends, and contrast begins. For example:
The old plasters were slow in their action the
Capcinc is quick and sure
The old plastcrs lacked tho power to do mare
than to impart slight temporary relief in cases
easy OF treatment; the Capcne penetrates the sys-
tenn and permanently cures the troubles for which
it is recommended
The old plastcrs depended for any good resnlts
they might attain, upon an accident Of their
makers and the naked faith of their wcarers; the
Bensons reaches its ends by means of the scieu
tho combination or the rare medicinal ingredients
which it contains.
In brief, the old plasters, like Stephcnsons dis
carded engine, are switched oil the track. while
the Bcnson's goes Oh its way winning golden
opinions from all sorts of people
Yet in this very fact lies the leading danger to
the people who buy and use this reliable and
scientific remedy. Hypocrisy is the tribute vice
pays to virtue" Imitation is the concession
failure makes to success. Benson's Plasters are
parodied in name and style.
