OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS. Our Pub
lie School, are tie bulwark of our Ma.
tion's liberties. A nation scarcely
more than one hundred years old has
risen to q position never before attain
ed by any other nation on the face of
the globe, in the same time. Many
reasons may be assigned for this, but
surely our public school system had
something to do with it, and deserves
part Of the praise. America has Civ
en- to the world some most noble
statesmen; aud most, If not all Of them,
Were pupils of the public schools
Germany too, has proved BY the sue.
cess Of her Public School system. that
it is no longer mere supposition, but
settled fact, that it is advisable for
every nation to give its people good
common school education, for those
nations which give the masses a good
education are the farthest advanced
in civilization, and are the most pros.
porous. Nothing pays q nation bet
ter than the money expended on the
education ofits people. It is never
failing Investment, which yields
never failing reward. The most in.
telligent of our citizens were raised,
we may say, in the public schools
There their young minds expanded
under the bright influence of good
teachers help and guidance; there
they became imbued with that spirit
Of patriotism which, 10 after years,
was famed into fame which burned
with brilliancy as bright as it was
unexpected and surprising. Our
Public Schools are, or should be, the
pride Of every true lover Of our COUP
try and its prosperity, for they have
been the means Of advancing our ma.
ton to the enviable position it now
occupies among the other nations Of
the globe. Uncle Sans numerous
colleges, as we may call the public
schools, have done much for our land
in many ways, are doing much for it
ct the present, and will do much in
the future if rightly managed. and
taken BY public opinion under her
protecting wing.

Gas anu Moonlight Nights.

We do nor admire the system the
city authorities have adopted for
lighting the street lamps. Too much
dependence is at times placed upon
the moon, with no calculation for
cloudy weather. Would it not be
well to allow the lampIighters to dis.
criminate for themselves and the peo
pie when our streets should be lit up,
instead of consulting an almanac as
to when the moons light will be
''hung out?" If the Council are anx-
ious to economize, (and it is right
they should there are many bright
star light nights when the gas might
be saved without discommoding any
one, but on wet or cloudy nights, the
gas should be lit, even If the almanac
does call for moonlight. It too often
happens that these corporation noon
light nights are the darkest we have,
and our city is left on these occasions
an inviting prey to burglars.

How Grit succumbs to Climate.

a Florida letter says, that in the strug-
gle which ensued there between the grit
of the Yankee settler and the climate the
former invariably succumbs, and the

land. Man can not shape the weather,
but the weather does mold the man. The

pulsive rains soon have their influence

not to be expected that person who can
pick his breakfast from an orange tree
and gather dinner of bananas should de-
velop the energy of a person who must
plant his crops, and cultivate and dig
them before he car enjoy them.
So the northern man who goes to
Florida and builds him a house the first
month of his stay and plants his grove
the next gradually finds himself falling
into slip shod ways. His fences get to be
disreputable, his house is not fresh painted,
his walks are neglected, his garden goes

The Wings of Ancient Times.


The celebrated ancient wines seem
rather to have been syrups or extracts
than wines. They were undoubtedly sweet
and little fermented, and Chaptal in his
Elements of Chemistry" declares it TO
be impossible to suppose that they could
have obtained any spirit, or possessed, in
consequence, any especially intoxicating
properties The wines so valued by the
Greeks and Romans contained much sac
charine matter and little alcohol Arts,
totle says the wines of Arcadia were so
thick, either by boiling or by adulteration.
that they dried up in the goatskins, and
the people would scrape the dried mater
ial off and dissolve it il water The thick
and fat wines of Chios, Thasos Lesbos. and
Crete were probably of this character
The pitched and picked wines are
doubtless the wines the Romans kept to
such extraordinary age Horace boasts of
drinking some seventy years old, and one
kind is said 10 have been kept in Rome
more than 100 years. The celebrated
Opimian wines, which took the name of
the consul who lived when they were first
made, are spoken of by Pliny as having
been preserved until his time, nearly 200
years, and so excellent Were they that
money could not buy them.

The Square in Battle.
scientific American.l


Lieut. Gen Sir Edward Hamley, of the
British Army, is strongly opposed to the
tactics adopted by the troops of forming
squares in battle. He argues that unless
the front rank is lying down, position it
could not maintain when the enemy comes
close to the sides attacked, it delivers fire
small in proportion to the number of
rifles, while the sides not attacked deliver
none. Should the square be penetrated,
then it becomes a mob, because the re-
ceiling troops are pressed back on the
other forces. The troops forming three
sides of the square have their backs to the
enemy who have succeeded in getting in
side, and such of the men as face inward
to meet the attack cannot fire ON the
enemy without also firing into the oppo-
site side of the square. He thinks it de-
sirable to ascertain how far the losses in
the late action were caused by the Eng
fish fire during the melee

Smoking Again Investigated.
[ArkanSaw Traveller.


By long series of experiments, Rus.
sian physician, DR.. Zulinski, has proven
that tobacco smoke is distinct poison, al,
though its action upon men is very
slight unless inhaled in consider
able quantities. He has found that
the poisonous property is not exclu-
SiveIy due to the nicotine, for tobacco
smoke contains a second toxical principle
called colodine, as well as carbonic oxide
and hydrocyanic acid. The effects depend
largely upon the nature of the tobacco
and the manner of smoking it,
The most poison is derived from the
smoking of cigars less than cigarettes,
still less from pipes, and least of all from
the use of nargiles or any other apparatus
in which the smoke is passed through
water. Tobacco which has been artiffc-
tally lightened in color is, in Dr. Zulans
ki's opinion, more dangerous than the
darker kinds.
