An Educational Inauiry.

There is pleasant delusion cherished
by many well-informed people that
there is more general education at the
present day than was ever before known
on the planet we call the earth. But oc-
casionally some frozen facts arise to con-
front the comfortable theory. An investiga-
tion into the educational condition of New
Jersey gives some information that may
startle those who are accustomed to re-
gard past ages as densely ignorant in
comparison to the supposed enlightenment
Of the present.
The state of New Jersey may be taken
as a fair sample of the most progressive of
the commonwealths that make up the
United States. The exacting justice that
it metes out to criminals has long gained
for it merited praise. The hostility it has
shown to the great railroad corporations
that traverse it, when they are unjust in
their demands, prove that its citizens will
not submit quietly to monopoly, however
carefully disguised. And lastly the un-
wavering faith that our neighbors across
the Delaware have shown in Democratic
principles indicate that the citizenship of
New Jersey may rank with any of her
sister states in the scale of intelligence
Recollecting these facts, it will cause
some surprise when the results of an in
New Jerseys children is made known.
The state inspector of factories and work
shops has just made report that re-
veals an appalling condition of ig-
norance among the working young peo-
pie of both sexes. He is moved to make
the statement "that three-fourths of the
work children know absolutely nothing. ~
Few could spell words of more than
one syllable, and to nine-tenths simple
multiplication was sealed book. Ninety
five per cent. had never heard of the Revo-
lutionary war, the late rebellion, Abraham
Lincoln, Governor Albeit, or President
Arthur. Some were found who did not
know whether New Jersey was in North
or South America.
And yet New Jersey has law that was
passed in 1883, to the effect that no boy
under the age of twelve years, and no girl
uuutI iOuIlttu, Ctil Dc tiuplONtu Ill any
factory, workshop, mine, or establishment
where the manufacture of goods is carried
on; no child under fourteen can be en-
ployed more than ten hours day, or sixty
hours week and children between twelve
and fourteen cannot be employed unless
they have attended, within the year imme-
diately preceding, some public or private
day or evening school for five days OF even
ings during period OF at least twelve con-
secutive weeks.
1t is but fair to presume that those
states, Pennsylvania among them, that
have no educational surveillance of child
labor are no better than NewJersey appears.
1t is not impossible that they may he
worse. AT any rate the education of the
century can not tplume itself on
being so Tar ahead of that Of the centuries
gone before that it may sit serenely ON its
PEDESTAL and smile compassioEately on
hem.

More Lnnatic AsylMms Needed.

In the House at Harrisburg yesterday
bill was favorably reported appropriatiug
sl5s, ,24s to the Dixmont Lunatic Hospital
in Allegheny county.
The general assembly then resolved to
adjourn from the 9th of February TO the
9th of March-in order to give its mem-
Inauguration week.
On second thought, we conclude that all
the money of the state had better be appro-
priated to the maintenance and erection
of lunatic hospit ais.
The capitol might he locked up and
walled in and used for this purpose, if ever
again the present Legislature is assembled
within its halls.

WHEN Mr.. Evarts recently made the asser-
ton before the Union League of New York
that the South remained in heart, substance
and purpose" what it was in 1860, he showed
himself not to be narrow-minded, bigoted
partisan, as might easily be inferred from his
speech, for that he is not He spoke simply
to please his hearers and to tickle their pre-
judices In this he showed himself, morally,
far below Horace Greeley, who, on a memo
rable occasion, told the members of this same
League, with as much truth as yigor, that
they were mostly arrant blockheads. Mr..
Evarts has been SO Tonga hireling advocate
that he feels employed as the attorney of
whatever cause no is retained in, and cannot
even now rise to the sublime height of a
tribune of the people.

4 Remarkable Sentence.

The final sentence of the court of army
officers that has been trying General Swain
is a very remarkable one. 1t puts him on
half pay for twelve years, at the end of
which time he will go on the retired list on
half pay.
If Gen. Swain was guilty he should not
have been imposed upon the nation as a
pensioner with nothing to do. If he was
innocent he should not have been convicted.
The board seems to find him guiltless of
anything except general unfitness to be
an officer of the army and so it retires
him

For the lNTELLIGEsCRR.
know there il no beauty
In mine eyes or on my brow,
To lure thee from the pleasures
Which surround thy pathway now
know thy youthful dreamings
Are OF fairer forms than mine
And voices far more musical
Are mingled oft with thine.
But oh, when false enjoyment
shall have lost Its charms TO thee
When thy every trust Is broken,
Bring thy shattered heart to me.
The smiles OF fieeting friendship
That hover round thee now
And life to thee so Joyous,
Bring no caremarks TO thy brow.
It's not when these elate thee
would claim thee as my own,
But dear one, would shield thee
When thy heart Is sad and lone.
But oh, when false enjoyment
Shall have lost its charms TO thee,
When thy every trust Is broken,
Bring thy shattered heart 10 me.

IT is little strange that the salaries of the
professors of Harvard college have not in.
creased during the last fifteen years, particu-
larly when II is remembered that during the
three years that have just passed, the institu-
tion has received sl,O9676s; in addition
to the large gifts of Alexander Agassiz TO the
museum of zoology. Certainly professors
who have been teaching for fifteen years,
and some of these there must be, are more
capable of teaching now and are entitled to
higher salaries than they were fifteen years
ago. President Eliot's report announces that
the INVESTED funds have increased by $780,
5ls, the balance having mostly gone into
buildings The efficiency of tho college
might be better increased by having some of
the balance 90 into better salaries for the
professors. 1t has often been the subject of
reproach that the chief cook of the Hotel

THERE are two sides to the discussion
about art and its accessories. One school
maintains that true art is enhanced by its
surroundings, and needs them to be fit for its
own assertion while the ether proudly defies
the aid of such accessories, ''breasts the blows
of circumstance" and rises superior to every
accidental disadvantage Booth plays with
the poorest support and the meanest of
scenery. Irving surrounds himself with the
most capable company, and his plays are
mounted with the most exquisite and exact
ing attention to completeness of detail:
when Burbadge played the stage was bare
OF fOunt and temple, tower and stair;
Two backswords eked battle out,
Two supers made of rabblerout
The throne Of Denmark was chair
And yet, no less, the audience there
Thrilled through all changes OF despair,
Hope, Anger, Fear, Delight and Doubt,
When Burbadge played!
