Standard Of Education.

According to Ruskin, an educated
man ought to know these things {:
First, where he is-that IS to say,
what sort of world he has got into |;
how large it is, what kind of creatures
live in it. and how; what it is made
of, and what may be made of it. Sec
ondly, where he is going-that is to
say, what chances or reports there
are of any other world besides this !:
what seems to be the nature of that
other world. Thirdly, what he had
best do under the circumstances
that is to say, what kind of faculties
he possesses what are the present
state and wants of mankind what is
his place in society ;; and what are
the readiest means in his power of at
tanning happiness and diffusing it.
The man who knows these things,
and who has his will so subdued in
the learning of them that he is ready
to do what he ought, is an educated"
man and the man who Knows them
not is uneducated, although he could
talk all the tongues of Babel" The
readiest way of attaining and diffus-
ing true happiness" is to become a

. Mr.. Smith, of Tyler, named
Hon. Daniel ID. johnson
amid loud cheers. The speaker wanted to
know whether a life long worker in the
party ranks was to be rewarded for the
deeds done in the interest of the party, or
whether this convention would say to him,
"a newer of wood and drawer Of water
you have been, and such you shall remain
till the crack of DOOM, He hoped no such
action would be taken and he believed that
the delegates, recognizing the worth and
claims of his candidate, would confer upon
him tie honor he was entitled to- and
which he never demanded at their hands.

A Row.
During the call row occurred over the
vote OF Marshall county. Mr.. Smith object
ing to the vote being cast solid for Newman.
He intimated that there had been some
questionable measures taken to secure a
solid vote, and he, speaking for himself and
several Others, protested. He said the
chairman of his delegation had exercised
arbitrary powers, and did not speak BY au-
thority. This assertion Mr.. McJiltou, the
chairman of the delegation, resented. He
stated that the motion that the vote be cast
as unit was offered and. passed in open
caucus, and that. .neit6 Ar Smith nor any
one else had objected. Thiss'Mf Smith der
clared to be untrue, and an unseemly war
