An Awful Fall.

During the Moses and Chamberlain
carpct-bas and scalawag misrulo in
South Carolina, an adventurer named
Hiram Kilnpton became very con-
siderable person. He was financial
agent Of the State in New York and O.
Wall street broker. He was q Yale
graduate, of tho class of 1868, and at
one time employed many clerks and
possessed S2,000,000. While Kimp-
toms old Gubernatorial friend has gone
from bad to worse, finally descending
to potty larceny and tho work-house,
tho financial agent has come to the
same grief and nearly tho Same abyss.
The South Carolina bonds proved his
curse at last, involving fraud, degra-
datlon and outlawry. When his funds
departed, his wife and friends also
vanished. He took to opium and
whiskey. On Tuesday last, the poor
wretch, ragged, imbccile, filthy, his
malodorous raiment kept upon his
body with yellow rope, around the
waist, was hauled up before the York
vile Police Court on charge of
vagrancy. IIo still fancics that he is
rich, but really has not cent. A
moro melancholy wreck, at 48 years of
age, can hardly be found, and yet there
arc worse men who will probably
never share his doom Of squalor and
lunacy. et. ..,..

and their success will at least justify
the statement that no one Should raise
cotton to buy hay with. Ono Of these

dollars an acre OIL a field ofno loss than
fifty acres. This beats cotton growing
decidedly, for it requires al applica-
ton Of tho principles of "cxtensivc
farming" to grow as much as one bale
pcr acre, aud that is literally valued at
fifty dollars. Then we know too, that
takes bale to pay for raising a bale,
SO in order to make cotton culture as
ronumcrativo as hay culture we must
raise two bales per acre, which is not
an easy task in these parts. From all
of this it will be modest to infer only,
that every farner should grow his own
hay.
"A NEW ISSUE FOR EDUCATORs.-It
will perhaps be interesting to our
teachers to know that the question of
the study of the law in tho public
schools, is receiving some attcn-
ton just now in legal circles. James
S. Ewing, Esq, Of the bar Of Bloom
ington, Illinois, read a paper before tho
Illinois State Bar Association at its
recent meeting in favor of the innova-
ton. In the last number of the 1mer-
tcan LdaO Reviea0, it is said cditorially
that -"the fact that the law.is not taught
in our common school systems of cdu-
cation, is monumental evidence of
tho incapacity and stupidity Of those
who arrogate to themselves the title OF
'cducators.'" Utterances equally un-
equivocal have been lately made by
other eminent jurists, and we take it
rs highly probable that educators will
be soon brought face to face with the
question. Its far reaching Importance
none will deny. 1t is also quite clear
Qhe question of impracticability aside)
that it would be q great step forward
i'll educational progress. But the oppo-,
ncnts of the reform will not be slow to
urge the absurdity of scheme which
proposes to make every man lawyer.
They will urge this regardless of the
fact that nothing of the sort is propos-
cd. The problem simply stated is
"Can the elementary principles Of the
law be brought to the level of the COM
prchension of the youth who attend tho
public schools?" Without prcsuming
to dogmatizc, we answer in the affirm
ative, and If the State is to educate at
all, is it not primal duty to prepare
her citizens for the terrible maxim,
