The General Government and Educa-
tiOu

The most important donation of land
ever offered by the general government
to aid the schools and colleges OF the va
rious States was made in the year 1862.
1t was accomplished by an act "dona-
ting public lands to the several States
and Territories which may provide col
leges for the benefit of agriculture and
the mechanic arts" 1t authorized the
the granting to each State a quantity
of land equal to thirty Thousand
acres for each Senator and Representa-
tive in Congress. The income arising
from the proceeds of the sales of these
lands was to be devoted to the teaching
Of such branches of learning as are re-
lated to agriculture and the mechanic
arts, in such manner as the Legislatures
of the States may respectively prescribe,
in order to promote the liberal and
practical education of the Industrial
classes in several pursuits and profess
sions in life Within FIVE years of the
passage of this act twenty two States
had established colleges of agriculture
and the mechanic arts in accordance
with its provisions; and in 1878 every
State, excepting Colorado and Florida,
had organized these colleges. Nine mil
lion six hundred thousand acres were
thus donated. New York received
slightly more than one-tenth of the
amount, which was employed in the
endowment of Cornell University. Mas
sachnsetts divided its share between the
agricultural college at Amherst and the
Institute of Technology at Boston.
Maine, and the large majority of the
States, devoted their proportions to the
support of colleges of agriculture.
The total amount, then, by which tie
general government has aided the sever
al States in education consists of one
hundred and twenty-five thousand
square miles of territory. or about one
thirtieth part of the entire national do
main, and of the gift of of nearly thirty
millions of dollars. The value realized
OJ IuO odlC VI buIo 4dl BO
land it is almost impossible TO estimate.
In some of the newer States much of it
yet remains unsold. In some States it
was. upon its surrender by the general
government, placed in the market, and
it commanded prices ridieulously small.
In Iowa and Wisconsin the minimum
price was 81 25 an acre. In some States
it has been so managed that large fund
has thence resulted for purposes of edu-
cation. In Minnesota the price, in the
FIVE years between 1862 and 1856. was
Sc 2S an acre, and by sales made in this
period more than a million three hund-
red thousand dollars were realized. OF
tie sixty millions of dollars which now
constitute the permanent school fund of
the different States, it is probable that
more than half was derived from the
general government. If the seventy
nine millions of acres donated by the
United States for education were sold
at the rate of three dollars per acre-a
low estimate-an amount of not less
than two hundred and thirty-seven mil
lions of dollars would thence accrue as
a permanent fund for the support of
the common schools, the colleges, and
the universities.-Chas. F. Thwing, in
Harpers Magazine for Feb

TIE friends of Congressman Morrison,
of Illinois, are working up a genuine
boom for him as Democratic candi.
date for the Presidency. They say that
from present indications he is pretty
sure of the delegations from Illinois
Texas, Tennessee, and Missouri. They
claim that his position upon tee tariff
question is the same as that of Carlisle,
and that he can 60 before the country
on a taaiff for revenue platform, which
is the real attitude of their party. Mr..
Morrison evidently has the Presidential
bee in his bonnet, and as an aid to his
candidacy will, at an early day in the
session, introduce bill on the revenue
basis, which will embody the issue be
tween the squarely defined protectionist
and the so-called incidental protection
party.

1t is the struggle against difficulty that
brings faculties into play.
Disputes should be so conducted as
always to secure peaceful ending.
A great many people in this world
praise goodness, and then do as they have
mind to.
No matter how unworthy man ay
be. he should have our sympathy if he
is suffering.
Adversely, how blunt are all the ar
rows of thy quiver, IN comparison with
those of guilt.
1t is higher exhibition of Christian
manliness to be able to bear trouble than
to get rid of it.
Do all that you can stand, and then
fear lest you may fail, and by the grace
of God you are safe.
There cannot be a greater rudeness
than to interrupt another in the current
of bis discourse.
Everybody seems to consider himself
kind of moral half-bushel to measure
the worlds frailties in.
A bitter word may make wound that
will never heal. A kind word may win
a friend that will never turn.
There is no trait more valuable than a
determination to persevere when the
right thing is to be accomplished.
Every life is walled with the gates of
progress, and to a mans touch hang
their latch strings of opportunity.
Some men have a Sunday soul which
they screw on in due time, and take on
again every Monday morning.
If you wish to ensure your future sue
cess, your days must be spent in indus
try, your evenings in steady ways.
Firmness of purpose is one of the
most necessary sinews OF character, and
one Of the best instruments OF success.
If we wish to be best judges of all
things, le. us first persuade ourselves or
this-that there is not one of US without
fault.
When misfortune happens to
friend, look forward and endeavor TO
prevent the same thing from happening
to yourself.
They who scatter with one hand.
gather with two, not always in coin, but
in kind. Nothing multiplies 50 much as
kindness.
When YOU trip up, do not waste time
in the investigation of the stone that
tripped you; speed on with your vision
qHickened for the new obstacle to oe
encountered.
The thing to do with nettle is to ad-
mire its beauty, touch its softness, de-
light in its fragrance, and avoid its
needles of pain. So of all the nettled
events of life.
If the same kind and delicate consid-
Grafton were hsbitually bestowed on the
inmates of our homes that we accord to
strangers, harmony and peace would
abide with us, and the home would be q
paradise.

A Tinkle of Bells.

The light of the moon on the white of
the snow,
And the answering wrinkles along the
street.
And our sleigh flashing by, in the gla-
mOur and glow
Of the glorious nights of the long ago.
When the laugh of her lips rang dear
and sweet
As the tinkles our horses shook out of
the bell
And fiung aid tossed back
On our glittering track
In shower of tremulous, murmuring
swells-
OF the echoing. airy, melodious
bells!
o the mirth of the bells!
And the WORTH of tie bellsi
Come tinkle again, in this dearth of
the bells,
This laughter and love that 1 lack,
yearning back,
For the far away sound of the
bells!
Ahl the bells, they were in that long
ago!
And the tinkles they had. they have
thrilled me so
have said: at is they and her songs
and face
Make summer for me in the wintriest
placel"
And now-b1t sobbings and sad fare
wells,
AS peer in the night, through the
sleeted pane,
Hearing a angor and wrangle of
bells,
And never einkle againl
The snow is aswoon, and the moon dead
white,
And the frost is wild in the air tonight /,
Yet still will l linger and listen and
pray
Till the sound of her voice shall come
this way,
With tinkle of bells,
And the lisp-like tread
OF the hooves of the sleigh,
And the murmpring and swells
OF the vows she said,
And o, l shall listen as madmen may,
But the tinkling bells ring down this
Till again the grasp of my hand en-
The tensioned loops of the quivering
lines,
And again we ride in the wake of the
pride
And strength of the coursers, side by
side;
With our faces smitten again by the
spray
Of the froth of our steeds as we gallop
away
In alright of the bells,
And the might of the bells,
And the infinite glce and delight of
the bells,
As they tinkle and tiukle and tinkle till
they
Are heard through dawn where the
mists are drawn,
And we canter and gallOp and dash
away
Sheer in the Judgment Day!

In regions where the winters are too
severe to permit success in the ordinary
methods of peach culture, fair crops for
home use may be obtained, says the
Country Gentleman, by selecting early
ripening sorts, planting them in nearly
PROSTATE position, or against sloping
earth bank, and covering them with
hay, straw or cornstalks thickly enough
to exclude the intense cold and to allow
the warmth of the earth to come from
below. In the spring the trees are mod
eretely lifted and propped foot or two
aDove ground. This method has been
tried with entire success in the colder
portions of Iowa, where Nc peaches can
ever be had by the common treatment.
The trees do best when rather young,
and need renewal.

SOME years ago, says Boston chem
ical journal, sensation was created by
some one undertaking to make sugar
from old shirts. Sugar is now manu-
factured in Germany from old rags. The
rags are treated with sulphuric acid aid
converted into dextrine. This is treated
with milk of lime and is then subjected
to new bath of sulphuric acid, which
converts it into glucose. The glucose
obtained by this process is identical with
that of commerce, and may be used in
the same way for confectiops, ices, etc.
When the manufacture has become
more abundant the price will doubtless
be very small. 1t is known that great
number of substances are capable of
transformation into glucose The cellu-
lose of fibrOus tissues of wood, treated
with sulphurie acid, is changed into dex-
trine and glucose, and glucose is indus
trially produced from starch.

ator Pendleton as dishonest and danger
Gus 10 the best interests of the party and
sound morals. The Standard Oil Com
bination made use of every known means
to obtain votes for their candidate. They
feared the people and through packed
caucut committee fixed the nominating
caucus for Tuesday evening the Sth inst.
They obtained more than enough to
| nominate on the first ballot. How they
obtained them is no secret, and the
methods and means employed are dis
grace and stigma upon the fair fame
of the Democracy of Ohio. The Dem
OcTats of Ohio, those who repudiate the
corrupt methods of the Standard Oil,
Mclean, Book walter Combination, and
they number fully three fourths of the
party, should hold public meetings and
denOunce the action of their Senators
and Representatives and the gangs they
trained with at Columbus in the Sena-
torial contest, in language so plain that
way faring man, though a fool" will
have no difficulty in understanding its
meaning.-MOnroe Spilit of Democracy.
The eighty-two members of the legis
lature OF Ohio that make up the majority
of the dominant party, seemed more
easily to be encompassed than d whole
State. Here the fight was made. Here
is where enough Democrats were found
to debase the party. Here is where de-
feat trails the Democratic banner in the
dust. Ii is true, there were members of
the Legislature who were conscieniiously
for Henry b. Payne, but they did not
number enough by onehalf to nominate
him.
The nomination of Mr. Payne of itself
would signify no harm to the party; but
his nomination is what every well think
ing mind cannot but admit, the fruits of
corrupt methods, which places the party
in false position.
As Democrat whe has been faithful
to the cause through all the years of its
hopeless minority, and during the darkest
days of the past. the editor of this paper
repudiates the methods employed in
bringing about the nomination, in the
Democratic caucus, of Mr.. Payne
AS Democrat who has condemned
the DOrseyism and Fosterism of the
Republican party, werepadiate the cor
rupt methods Of, what is clear to every
decent mind, purchased nomination.
As a Democrat who is opposed to mo-
nOpolles and monopoly rule, we repudiate
the action of the caucus as anti Demo-
cratic. and stab at the traditional
teachings of the party.
As sDemocrat.we repudiate the selfish
malicious, corrupting and debasing
character of the Mclean wing of the
party. and give notice that we do not
marshal under the banner of corrupt
politics.
AS a Democrat who believes only in
pure politics. we repudiate the part taken
by the Standard Oil agents, and the
debasement of supposed Democratic
members in yielding to the seductive
influence of that monopoly.
Investigation and purilicatian is what
is now Observation-Disclosures Democrat.

If the Egyptian government, acting
under the orders or advice of Great
Britain, abandons its possessions in the
valley of the Upper Nile and the neigh
boring plains and contracts its frontier
to the narrow limits of old Egypt, there
will probably be a collision between Ell
Mahdi and the warike tribes of the
A6yssinian frontier. Abyssinia is a
Christian country, after fashion, and
religious hate will be pretty sure to i'm
pei the fanatical Moslem hordes now
following the False Prophet TO en-
croach upon its rights or territory.
Then there will be bloodshed. The
Aoyssinian mountaineers have long
hated the Mohammedans of the plains
and in war they have always held their
own, to say the least. 1t is not likely
that they will decline combat now.

JUDGE THURMAN is still growing
about Mr.. Payne's election as Senator.
LII late interview the ex-senator says
the success of Payne represents the
worst elements in politics and misrep-
resents the Democracy. He goes on in
this way:
The gentleman who has been nOmina-
ted to succeed Pendleton does not rep
resent the sentiments of his party, but
the sentiments of 4 faction of the Ohio
Democracy, which owes its existence
and success to a persistent practice of
the worst methods known to politics.
The defeat of PendletOn is not so much
a victory for Payne as it is a triumph
for that element which began its cor
rupting work at the last Democratic
State Coevention and has been actively
at work in the State ever since. l do
not believe the action of the caucus
would be indorsed by the voting Demo-
Gratis of Ohio if an opportunity were
granted them. On the other hand, am
quite certain that some of the men who
misrepresented their constituents by
voting for Mr.. Payne will be punished
at the primaries or the polls when their
action is known. lido not know wheth-
er Mr.. PendletOn would have been NOM
mated if there had been an open ballot,
but many members took advantage of
the secret ballot and voted for Payne
who would not have dared to do so
openly.
