Another exemplification of the
Influence OF politics upon education
II seer in the "Biair Bill,n which
proposes that Congress shall make
n gift of seventy-Seven million dol
lars, to be divided among the States
of the Union to help them maintain
their schools. The sncces of the
bill ae we write, is said to be uncer-
tain but whether it paSs or not, it
has had so extensive a backing as
to well illustrate the sort of in
auence which politicians would
bring to bear upon education. The
tendency to make education a char.
fty, and to bring school houses in
TO the same category with poor.
houses, is sufficiently strong ; but
this measure by an audaciOns
stretch of constitutional power
would give the stamp OF nationality
to the charity policy. The scheme
proceeds upon the peculiarly Amer
lean assumption that anything can
be done with money, and that the
Central Government has only to
scatter millions enough and all the
people will be educated. But the
assumption isfalSe there are things
which no amount of money can do,

Sweating Apples.

We hear much about sweating ap-
pies after they are gathered in the au-
tumn. Farmers, and even agricultural
papers of the better class, often allude
to sweat" on stored fruits as some
thing that comes from within the fruit,
and is to be regarded as a natural OF
necessary exudatiou. One of the best
agricultural papers in the country, in
late issue, gives this advice to farmers
and fruit growers: "Apples intended for
market should be gathered and laid in a
pile on the ground for a week or more,
so that they may sweat before barrel
ing" Now, let us consider this matter
for a moment. The skin of a sound ap-
pie is practically a protective covering,
and designed for a twO-tOlG purpose:
first, to prevent the ingTess of air and
moisture to the tender cellular structure
of the fruit; and, second, to prevent the
loss of juices by exudation. There is
no such process as sweating in fruits.
When men or animals sweat, they be-
come covered with moisture passing
| through the skin; when an apple be-
| comes covered with moisture, it is due
| to condensation of moisture, from with
| out. Apples taken from trees in a cold
| day remain at the temperature of the
| air until a change to higher tempera-
| tuTe occurs, ami then condensation of
! moisture from the warmer air circulat-
ing around the fruit occurs, just as
moisture gathers upon the outside Of an
| ice pitcher in summer. This explains
the whole matter; and the vulgar notion
of fruits sweating" should be dispelled
from the mind.
It is almost impossible to gather ap
plies under such conditions of tempera
ture that they will not cOndense mOis
ture after being placed in barrels. Il
| would be better if this result could b.
avoided, as dryness of fruit is essentia
to its protracted keeping.
Our autumns are characterized b.
changes from hot to cold, and these oc.
cur suddenly. The days are hot, aGC
the nights cool, and this favors conden
sation. Apples picked on moderated,

A Bully Beaten.

The English Sparrow is a bully. and
is ready to run away the moment his an
tagonist shows a disposition to stand his
ground. 1 saw this demonstrated yes
terday morning. a pee-wee flycatcher,
the first of the seasonal least the first
l have seen this season-perched his
tiny self on dead limb of an oak. An
English sparrow, who had been quar-
reling with himself and the rest of the
world since sunrise, made rush at the
little fly catcher. There was a scuffie
in the air, a general shaking up, chirp
that sounded like squ9al. I suppose of
course, that the fy-catcher had the
worst of The riot, and pitied him. He
is no bigger than your thumb. and I ex-
pected to see him driven out of hearing.
There were a scufle, squeal, and then
rapid pursuit, but it was the sparrow
that had turned tail, ana the hp-catcheI
followed him, popping his bill as If it
were a whip. The sparrow went Under
the house, and the flY-catcher returned
to his perch and sat there as unconcern-
edly as if nothing had happened.

A Man OF Dissemination.

Ward II. Bamon, Mr, Lincoln's Hi
nois partner, who was appointed by him
United Stgtes Marshal for the District
of Columbia, was a man Of gigantic size
and herculean strength. Among the
many anecdotes related about him was
that of his contest with Secretary Stan
ton for the jail at Washington. Mar
shall LamOn had in custody there num-
Der Of coloTed prisoners, legally com
mitted, and he refused TO liberate them.
One afternoon he went to dine with old
Mr.. Blair out at Silver Springs and when
be returned his deputy informed him
that the military Governor had taken
possession of the jail, and put there a
sergeant and about dozen men. LamOn
consulted Nj. Carlisle, his regular couu-
sci, and ascertained that this intrusion
was utterly without warrant of law, an
DOunced his intention of retaBing the
pie e, which he proceeded to do at once.
y one, with his own hands, he disarmed
ne entire party, took the keyes from the
sergeant, locked him up and his men,

was sustained, as he always was, by the
President, and in due time a ponderous
opinion from Father Bates put an end
to the militrry siege of the Jail, which
LamOn meanwhile had put into pos

at any cost. About the same time Mr.

was fitting up for the reception of his
I family. "If You do shat" said Bamon,

( which the Secretary had been very often
sive, "I'u kill you" Stanton went i'm
mediately to the President and inform

to murder him. "Vell, Stanton;" said
Lincoln, elf he really said it, I'd advise
you to prepare for your end, for he's a
man of his word. But I'll see him, and
try and if 1 can get him to spare your
life on my account. He's a great friend
Of mine, you know" But Mr.. Stanton
did not take the house.
