.FoRlIGN AFFAIRS.

LoSDoN, April 3.-There is un>
wonted excitement in the rice mar
ket. A firm prominent in the trade,
which has extensive agencies in
Burmsh, some time since made con.
siderable sales of rice to arrive, in
expectation Of getting supplies from
native sources and securing large
tonnage for England. The nativ1s
held off their supplies, probably on
account of being advised OF the state
of the oversold English market, and
large purchases had to be made in the
open market here for the purpose of
fulfilling contracts. Rangoon rice
has risen ten per cent within the past
week, and in consequence failures are
expected in the trade.
ROME, April 3.--A denial comes
from government official sources that
defensive triple alliance had been
entered into with Italy, Germany and
Austria on one side, against France
on the other. 1t is nevertheless very
certain that an agreement is in exis-
tenCe, the terms Of which are about
the same as already outlined, but it is
as yet not been put in any formal or
documentary shape.
BERLIN, April 3-The projected
Universal Conference at Vienna of
persons interested in the Red Cross
Society. of Geneva, which was to have
taken place during the coming winter
has been abandoned. The German
government will therefore enter into
negotiations with the various coun-
tries of Europe with the view of fur
thering the objects of the society, aud
persuade them to except the proposal
to extend the limits and modify the
sales of the organization, SO that its
benefits may be offered the navies of
all nations.
During the recent visit of the Duke
OF Oonnaught to this city he consulted
the celebrated surgeon, Langenbeck,
i1 regard to the injury of his arm.
The physician assured him that his
injuries were in no respect dangerous,
and that he would recover completely.

Bank of Germany shows the decrease
ofspecie to be II, ,523, 900 marks.

The Dal4nal Lallerl scheme.

Some time ago the Willard Hotel
Lottery, at Louisville, known as the
Whips scheme, collapsed, and com,
missloners paid in about $4,000 into
the Chancery Court, with the request
that the same be distributed, this be-
ing all that there was left of from forty
to sixty thousand dollars realized
from the sale Of tickets. Holders of
tickets in the defuuct lottery were re
qqested TO forward the same to Louis
vile before the cloge OF last month,
that they might be prOrated in the
disposal. A dispatch to the Cincinnati
Enquirer q day or two since has the
following on the subjects
UP to to day about l400 tickets, or
$ll l00, are represented by tickets de
posted with the commissioner, but
for the last two days they have been
coming in so fast that two and some
times three clerks have been neces-
sary to record them, and still there's
mOge to follow The court made an
order to-day extending the time for
two weeks to enable all tickets at
present in hand to be placed regu-
larly on the list, and let in others.

IT is said the President is consid
eriug the policy Of appointing a
Southern man to the Postmaster
Gcneralship. Two names have been
discussed. One Of these, a Washing
ton special says, is John Hancock, Of
Austin, Texas. He is Democrat.
He was a Union man during the war,
and in 1861 he was exRolled from the
Texas Legislature for bis UpioRisp
He was member of the Forty second,
Fotts.third aud POrty-fourth Com
gresses. Then the element got the
upper hand and be was laid on
the shelf. The redistrictiug Of the
State gave him sRatber chance, and
he was elected last fall to tie Forty
eighth Congress. 1t would be diff
cult to fnd ia the South a man Of
higher character and abilities, and a
more representative man whose
record for loyalty was untarnished'
The other makes Judge Philip Hick
osy Morgan, of Louisiana, now minis
ter to Mexico and formerly Judge Of
the Consular court at Cairo, He is a
Southern union man, like Hancock,
bpt he is also Republican. He is a
map Of character aRa force, and iden-
tiGed with the party in power. There
is mere chance of bepe6tting the Re
publican party in his election than in
Hanoook'S. Furthermore, his recall
from Mexico would give the admins.
tration another good Office to confer
On some one, and an cfice that Gen.
Grant and his railroad associates
would like to designate the proper
person to fill. 1t would be a great
Outrage not to appoint an Ohio man,
and might lsad to disastrous conse-
0uencas.

THE Legislature passed failed to
create an intermediate court to assist
in relieving the docket of the Su
preme Court, but passed an act pro-
viding for the appointment by the
Supreme Court of three referees, one
from each division of the State. 1t
is made the duty of these referees to
be in attendance at each term of the
court and report upon the law and
facts of cases coming on for trial.
This, it is assured, will relieve and
facilitate the laborS of the Supreme
Court Lawyers, after Argument, may

Schooling anI Crime.

Ignorance is the parent of vice. This
is the universally accepted maxim. The
argument is, therefore, that education
will make vice incapable of propagating
it's species. Thus every man who pro-
jects to drag the government into schools
for all thinks he is on the way to ex-
tinguish vice and make mankind pure.
Yet we see it often announced that
youths have been led to crime by read
ing dime novels. Thus it doth appear
that education is the parent of vice.
Then it is found that little education is
dangerous thing, and that in order to
extinguish vice it must be carried to
high degree. This seems to make the
work of exterminating vice by education
rather remote. But is not this incen-
sistent? If ignorance is the parent of
vice and education the extinguisher,
then at every step in education the sub
ject ought to grow better. To read is
great step, and should make him hun
ger and thirst for Sunday school books.
The multiplication table should multi
ply the moral tendencies. Grammar
snould fill the mind with the good, the
beautiful, the true. Geography should
lift the soul from nature up to natures
God. To cipher the rule Of three should
make the boy almost too good to live.
To doubt this is to deny the maxim, and
to say that education is the parent of
vica
