The WISDOM Of the cabinet decision not TO
sanction the continuance of the New Orleans
Exposition will not he questioned savo by
those who have risked their money in the
enterprise and have seen il melt away. Pc
cuniarily the exposition has been a great
failure and while its foundations were shown
to be laid in sand, it was but the course sug-
gested by common prudence TO cease spend
ing money on the superstructurc. Besides,
had the government lent its official approval
TO the scheme of keeping it open longer il
could not have escaped the obligation 10 ap-
propriate the additional funds that would
have been needed for its maintenance Al
ready the amount of claims filed Mt the
treasury department in Washington, because
of the Exposition is s3O7, ,Gi4.O5, or Sl7,OOt
more than that appropriated by Congress-
The decisions of these claims will involve
some disagreeable work. Altogether tht
government has been very indulgent to this
enterprise; and since it has proved, despite
the assistance given, a failure, the govern
ment does wisely in recognizing that fact anc
refusing to lend its sanction to the furthe
sending of good money after that which ha
been expended to little purpose.

The Lancaster INrELLrGESoER saws ::

The Lancaster INTELLIGENCER says:
CAS- a rule the men who went to the war an d
came back from IL twenty years ago are no
better citizens and no more deserving of honors
IN lie ana after death than their average fellow
citizens"
AS the lNTELLIGENCER is edited by the
chairman OF the Democratic state central
committee of Pennsylvania this is fair no.
tice that his party doesn't want any more
soldier business talked when offices are to
be disposed of.
The Record, and some other reputably-in-
clined newspapers, which are evidently not
able to recognize very plain and very proper
distictions have been frequently told that the
INTELLIGENCER is not ''edited by the chair
man of the Democratic state central COM
mittee," and that it is the organ of no man
and of no party that its utterances neither
gain nor lose force from the fact that one of
its editors, publishers and owners is chair
man of the Democratic state central COM
mittee. The Record, all the same, will per
form public service and enlighten many
darkened minds if it will point out what par
ticular men who went to the war and came
back from it twenty years ago are as rule
more deserving of honors in life and after
death than their average fellow citizens. 1t
will probably find that the most Iusty
chalmers have the least merit

LANCASTER. MAY 81, 1855.
The Soldiers, Orphans Schools.

Believing that the laudable legitimate
and original purpose for which the soldiers
orphans schools were established, had long
ago been amply served, the INTELLIGEN-
GER has consistently favored termina-
ton of this system of state edu-
cation, and it will continue to do
90. In each extension of the sys-
TEN, such as that made by the legislature
and governor the other day, it recognizes
q fresh abuse of it and from the logic of
past events there is no reason to suppose
that the supply of soldiers orphans will
ever be exhausted in the state while con-
tractors can make profit out of the man.
agement Of the schools SO called. When
the last member Of the Grand Army
Of the Republic shall have passed
away, the "Sons of Veterans" will
no doubt rise up to demand that the grand
children and the great-grandchildren of
those who fought in the war be clothed, fed
and educated at the states expenses, with
the same cheerful confidence that the great
grand daughters of the old presidents now
display in trying to get on the pension roll.
The INTELLIGENCER believes that at this
distance from the war, when an orphan
fifteen years old must have been born five
years after the war ended, there should be
no difference between the states obliga-
tion to such an ''orphan" and to the bereft
child of any other citizen. If the state is
prepared to educate all the orphans well
and good, but we object 10 the offensive
discrimination urged by the 81 800 mem
bers of ths-G rand Army of the Republic
against the children of just as good ant
just as worthy citizens as they or thei
comrades; and for every pitiful case ap
&peSling to the states charity among tn,
ss provided for by this system, Their
u be adduced dozen against which i
ainates.
nile we do not agree with some of TIN
Etimental defenders of this discrimina
ton, that all objections to it are founde'
in malice or ignorance, this journal clearl
recognizes that the objections lie TO tn
system and the fault is with the law, an,
not against the administrators of the sys
tenn or the beneficiaries of the law. In
dividuallya and Immediately considered, ,thes
schools are undoubtedly doing good work
and, as an established part of the state
bounty, they merit the attention of tn
public and are proper subjects of criticism
or commentator accordingly as tn
the schools are managed. 1t gives u
pleasure, therefore, to note the highly in
proved condition of the school that is IL
Gated within the borders of our count.

its past administration have been col

examination speaks well for its presen
direction.

Studying Local History.

Some attention to the larger study of
local history may be awakened by the
special examination held at the Mt. Joy
soldiers orphans school yesterday, on the
geography, history, resources and institu-
ti0ns of Lancaster county. 1t was very re-
markable that without any text book to
guide them, without any previous indica-
tion Of what would be the form and line of
examination, the boys and girls of that in
stitutiOn had learned so much of what their
elders are ignorant of, and were able to tell
1t SO well.
That there remains, however, wide
field for study and observation on the i'm
portant subject considered was manifest
from the questions unanswered, as well as
from those that were covered by the results
of the examination and it is to be doubted
il the ordinary public schools of the county,
made up almost entirely of native-born
pupils, would make so good showing. In
deed it would be profitable, as well as Gu
rious in the results attained, to PROFOUND a
like set of questions to the next institute
Of teachers held in this county, and have
it determined whether our instructors
know as much of their own surroundings as
theydo of distant places and foreign things
In Europe the schools run to the other
extreme, of neglecting foreign geography
hence the ludicrous and dense ignorance of
foreigners, even Englishmen, regarding
America. But there is just cause for reproach
to our educational system that the bows
and girls who know what the Conference
of Utrecht meant cannot tell the time or
the meaning of the Emancipation procla-
nation sons and daughters of Lancaster
county soldiers know where Baddock fell
and in what cause, but have forgotten or
never heasd of Reynolds; the school chil-
drea;sspw every state capital on its own
particular river, but they cannot locate the
county court houses, old and new.
Let geography, like charity, begin at
home. 1t need not end there.

No TaiIless Dog Should BE Without One.

An application, purporting to be signed by
Colonel Maurice Pinchover, has been sent to

for an adjustable dogs tail. The application

by accident, are minus tail, encounter great
difficulty in turning sharp corners, as their
centre of gravity is thrown too near the fore.
legs, and they have to go slow or lose their
balance. The proposed tail can be fastened
to the stump, and as the dog turns to the
right the tail will tend to throw his rear to
the left, thus enabling him to turn easily and
rapidly without losing his equilibrium. The
customary $40 fee did not accompany the APP
plication.

THOSE who give the bri efest glance at that
most glaring of modern society evils, divorce
are forced TO admit that the inconsiderate-
ness with which the matrimonial relation is
contracted is in great part responsible for its
frequency. People jump into matrimony
like that wondrous wise man did into a
bramble bush, and when thoy get in they
endeavor to jump out again with even greater
alacrity. A festive party at a Scranton res
taurant few evenings ago were discussing
the subject OF matrimony, when one young
man declared he would marry lady of the
party if his male friend would do likewise
with another lady. The latter couple backed
down, but the first two were united in the
public restaurant by an alderman who hap
pened to be in an adjoining room. This oc-
CURED despite the fact that the subject of love
had never before been mentioned between
the newly united pair. What can be ex
pected from unions such az these? There
may seem to be a great deal of red tape abou
