Education in Mississippi.

The report Of the Commissioner of
Education at Washington contains some
statistics which will probably open the
eyes Of some Northern Radicals, especi-
ally in regard TO Mississippi. it is no
doubt the impression among the staiwart
branch Of the Republican party at least,
that in this State the repressive policy
is carried out in regard to the education
of the colored people. They will be
surprised to find that Mississippi is in
advance of all Southern States in this
respect, and ranks high relative to the
white population A few figures and
comparisons with other States of
The South, will show Enthusiastically
that we stand at the trent and are doing
more To educate The blacks than any
State south of the Ohio. The coiored
school population is stated in the table
referred tu, for our own State, a. 25I,-
433, the actual enrolment being 123, l70.
We will now take the State OF Virginia as
nearest in numbers, aud we ind school
population of 348 $50, with an enroll
ment of 68 900, and we compare alike
iavorably with other Southern States.
When we consider what has been
done under successive Democratic
administrations, we should think the
howling dervishers of the Radical party
would muffle their thunder little, and
give us some credit for what we have
done for the colored race. Most of the
tax to support these schools comes out
of the pocket Of the white people, and
the negroes are well aware of it,and have
been weakening on Republicanism ever
since the Democracy have taken the job
in ha' dof running the State government.

Violation of Tomb After SIX Hun

The .St1mpd, a prominent Italian lib
aral journal, tells the following strange
story: On the night between the 18th

There are two caliings in life for which
We have heard a contempt about as
strong as copperas and vinegar. They
are body-snatchiug and saloon keeping.
And yet, if we were to choose between
the two, we would prowl around the
graveyards on dark nights and steal
dead bodies, aad sell them at ten dollars
apiece, rather than steal mems souls at
ten cents an instalment, from behind
the bar of saloon. The ghoul lays
upon the dissecting table body from
which the soul has fed, probably into
endless purity. The saloon keeper lays
upon his counter body Inhabited by a
soul, writhing under an appetite he has
planted, and then dissects him body and
soul. If he sees anything good IN his
subject, he cuts that out first. He tears
out his God given nobility, and throws
that under the counter with fiendish
chuckie, and stamps on it with both
feet. He plunges the knife to his heart.
and watches his quivering. TO his heart
alone? No, no. To the hearts of his
friends as we'll, to the heart of his wife,
TO the hearts of his children. When he
has all the beautiful and good carved
out of his victim. and nothing but
depravity left. he looks at the pile OF
gold behind him and the pennlless
wretch before him, and then loaks out

Treatment of Sheep.

There are many reasons why the few
who still persist should abandon the
habit of washing their sheep before
shearing, and we know of not single
argument in its favor. The practice
was inaugurated at an early day, and it
is a relic of old times, hen the wool
sharn from the small hocks in the
Z stern States was largely used up at
home. Then it was necessary to wash
it either before or after sheariEg to
prepare it for carding and spinning.
Those days are passed, and both the
sheep and their owners ought to be glad
of it.
The yolk in healthy fleece is natures
preservation of the fiber. 1t is soapy,
matter, with strong potash base, resem
bling no other animal secretion; it is
in fact, a soap, with more or less free
oil. 1t preserves the elasticity of the
fiber, and should be left in the wool
until it is wanted for manufacturing
use. Manufacturers we'll know that
secured wool, in time, becomes brittle
and losses its elasticity, while unwashed
retains its good quail les indefinitely. 1t
it is, as rule, free from all vermiu. The
percentage oil. yolk In healthy focks of
every grade is quite uniform, but vary
ing in different breeds from twenty five
per cent. in the Leicester and other
coarse breeds to fifty to seventy five per
cent. in the very finest Saxon, the bucks
always carrying more than the ewes.
The system of washing in cold water on
the Sleeps back never results in a
washed fleece fit for the manufacturer
but only the eradication of an unknown
and uncertain part of the yolk, contain
ed in the a Aece, which is thus changed
into an unmerchantable commodity to
b. sold on its uncertain merits as to
| shrinkage. The name or designation OF
mashed wool has ceased to have any
charm, and the sooner the practice oil
washing is entirely abandoned. the
better it will be for the sheep, their
owners, and the trade generally Woo

Responsibility of the Whisky Traffic

To certain degree the State of Mis-
sissIppi assumes 1t, by prohibiting the
sale. While any citizen may open store
to sell meat, bread and clothing without
giving anyound, simply paying a tax
of snaii proportion - defray state ex-
penses-should he desire to add to his
list of goods alcoholic liquors as Il
beverage, the law of the State
positively forbids, except the petitioner
can procure a majority of legal voters 10
publicity pray tor exemption in their
case, and by this act they assume the
whole responsibility.
L. is true moniee bond with substaa-
tial security must be given to the State,
but the moral responsibility rests upon
every signer OF whiskey petition.
Now IL there is anything mischevious,
hurtful, wrong about the matter, why do
these signers try to stigmatize the vendor
with all the blame?
BY their own signatures duly recorded,
and published, they have solemnly de-
clared that the saloon keeper was law
abiding, upright citizen, and therein
endorsed him as every way worthy to be
entrusted with the murderous agency
for evil universally accepted as such.
But the State, fearing that the stain of
blood may somehow attach to itself, de-
sires to compel the minority to share in
the responsibility, voluntarily assumed
by the majority of legal voters, and to
escape responsibility must enter SOL
emn protest in written form 10 be duly
recorded.
Aud where this is done, the State
must shoulder its share of the reponsibil
ity--but where no counter petition is
made-by default of the minority. The
State wipes its hands s-complacently and
says am free from the blood of souls in
that ward or beat This feature of the
whisky law entails eternal vigilance
upon the total alb ,rainer-aud exacts a
loss of time and much disquiet of mind
in keeping II clear conscience and evad-
ing the forced responsibility incurred by
default of protest. Yet as the law
stands, it Is the duty of G cry legal voter
to enter his protest by counter petition.
Some one says, what good will three or
four names do on a counter petition
Much good, every way lst Boards of
SUP rervisors will know that just that
number are watching how they perform
their duty.-1d. A nucleus is formed
around which the timid can raily-and
from which concentrated prayer can be
made asking Divine help-3rd. These
few can invoke the aid of those most
intensely interested, but by our State
cruelty ignored, not being legal voters

There is no neutrality in this battle.
