Tennessee and Kentucky are the
only Southern States making any
fight against national aid to education.
We would suggest that these States
do not stand in the way of progress of
any of their sister States. They need
not accept the proffered aid, but al
low the bill to pass that other and
more progressive States get the bene-
fit resulting INSTRUMENTATION
Blade.
1t is strange that any man possess
ing sufficient intelligence to edit as
bright paper as the Blade can get
so far behind the times on question
which has received as much attention
as the Blair bill has. Some papers
and politicians of the State keep on
discussing the Blair bill as if it was
still living issue before the coun-
try, when in fact it has been rot
ting in its grave for may months.
The Blair bill has long since ceased to
figure in the political discussion of
the Northern States. The alleged
treasury surplus upon which it was
based has been otherwise appropria.
ted and the bill was relegated to the
polical bone yard months ago. The
presumption that any benefit what
ever can result to any of the States
from it is all a myth. The measure
has no existence whatever, it died fol
want of popular favor long ago, and
the pap upon which it was to feed is
going to meet the nations obligations
to its creditors. Neither the bill moi
the conditions for the carrying out Of
its provisions exist. Its proffered aid
is all in the minds of few of its over
jealous advocates, and consequently
the implied charge in the above ex'
tract that Tennessee stands in the way
of benefit resulting to any state is
| without substantial foundations.

AWAKENING FROM HIS DREAM.
1t was in this room that the great musi-
clan spent a whole year, and his friends
say that the bitterest disappointment OF
his life was the awakening from the
dream OF great colony in this favored
spot. He had hoped TO found a large,
prosperous and reputable settlement, and
had been told that the mountains about
here were filed with gold, silver and
other ores. The colOnists believed the
wonderful stories he told them OF the FL
Dorado in the new West, where precious
metals were waiting to enrich those
who should search for them, and when
months OF patient toll failed TO realize
their hopes, and a dispute about the
title OF the land arose, they were all ready
to leave.

A "FIND1 IN ANCIENT EGYPT
Unearthing of Great Red Granite
Statue In the Desert.

Unearthing of Great Red Granite
Statue In the Desert.
From tie London Standard.
A correspondent kindly sends US the
following interesting extract from pri-
vate letter which has just reached him
from Ramleh, near Alexandria, contain
ing short account Of the unearthing OF
an ancient statue: ga great red granite
statue has been discovered 10 miles away
in the desert. 1t represents the famous
Pharaoh, who was responsible for all the
Egyptian plaques, and on one side of it is
a statue Of a little baby, said to be that Of
the next Pharaoh, who persisted IN his
rash attempt to drive through the Red
Sea. The chief Of the coastguardsmen-
Middlemas Bey-discovered it when
hunting for struggled tobacco, so he in
yted Mr.. Carver, myself and some others
to 20 and see the old fellow raised to the
light Of day once more. 1t has been lying
there 1900 years. About IS Of us
met at the little station a short mile OFF in
the Desert, and after an hours crawl in
the train, we're landed forlOrnly in the
midst of the sand, nearly two miles from
our destination. We walked TO the place
and found the statue surrounded by about
40 Arabs, and just about TO be raised.
AS it. seemed likely to be long business,
we wandered about and explored a
small staircase leading down into
diminutive chamber. We had O. we'll
known Egyptian with US, MIR. Willbor,
to explain all the hierogy phics, ETC.. and
we discovered bits of mosaic papements
by scraping away the sand. All the WISE
acres present were convinced il is the site
OF IN ancient city, and that many inter-
esting discoveries will be made when
Mi(ldlemas Bey can set his men to work
digging. About - O'Clock rum0rs went
about that the old King was coming up
out OF his grave, and we all focked back
to welcome him TO daylight again after a
subberrestrial existence of 5000 years.
OF course, one of the ubiquitous tribe of
photographers was present, aud be-
fore the resurrection apparatus was
taken away he took us all hanging on
TO the ropes like stage sailors, the
statue in the middle standing up in its
grave. There are no end of hieroglyphics
written on his back and up the sides. He
is very well carved, and almost perfect,
except for the nose, which has sue.
cumbed to the wear and tear ofexistence.
The muscles on the arms are well shaped,
aud he is we'll shaped altogether, and
considered by Mr.. Willbor to he a very
valuable 'find.' At 1880 we had lunch in
the fort, which is close by. There are a
great many good English cannot rusting
away because no one has energy enough
to remove or preserve them, and we found
large quantities OF shells, loaded and un-
loaded, in the ammunition vaults. The
final destination of old Pharaoh is yet I'M
decided. No doubt By the next mail
shall be ablet 10 tell you more about him."

A CAT FIGHTS A CATFISH.
One of the Most Remarkable Fish sto-
riea on Record.

riea on Record.
Theophilus skimper is generally sized
up as the most incompetent man in Hoxa-
wottamie, but Tbeophilus has knocked
this town silly with his cat story about
the Tarn, and the beauty of 1t is it's also,
says the Her0td Of that town.
Skimper, being incompetent, hasn't but
one shirt, and always goes out to the Tarn
to wash it,
Skimper had Just stretched his old
shirt out 10 dry on the END of sunny log,
when he found he'd been followed all the
way from HOXawOttamie by his old gray
cat with the nine kittens. The darned
thing monkeyed around his ankles awhile,
then carried her kittens one by one TO the
end Of a log hanging over the water, and
sat down by EN- and began fishing with
her tail She was having pretty fair luck
when she spied a whole school OF young
catfish swimming up into shOal water.
The old catfish was probably somewhere o
out in deeper water.
Puss made one spring and yanked lit
tie catfish out Of the water. Then she
ran out to the end Of the log and gave it
to one of the kittens. No eoOner had she
turned her back, however, to get another
little catfish before the old-catish jumped
from the deep water TO the end OF the log
and yanked one OF them kittens away as
slick as wax. When puss came back with
the second catfish the kitten which had
sbeen eating the first young catfish had
Disappeared and was feeding the old cat
fish, This made puss mad and she
chewed the second young catfish up before
the eyes of the frantic parent.
Insane with rage, the old catfish jumped
TO the end of the log, and with shrlll
shrek bit a kitten square in two.
This internecine and fratricldal strife
continued until the cat had eaten up all
the young catfish and the catfish hat cate n
mp all the young kittens. ii old catfish
hadn't been able to chew all che kittens,
bat had Just swallowed some whole. The
consequence was they began mewing and
set the mother cat pretty near wild. This
seemed to afford the old catfish the most
unalloyed delight, and sticking her head
out of the water with a broad grin, che
gave the mother cat full benefit of the
post-mOrtem concert.
The mother cat couldn't stand it, and
jumped right atop the old catfsh's back.
"O-O-h-h =" went the catfish. and away she
started across the Tarn, giving puss a
bath every minute or two, and yelling
with rage.

Decline in the Uses of Strong Drink

That the use of strong drinks has
been on the decline in this country
for twenty years, and especially
within the last decade, is easily as
certained in the revenue department
of the government. In 1870 the ag-
gregate quantities of distilled spirits
in theunited Stateswere seyentyeight
million gallons, (laying aside fraction
al quantitles) and in 1880, sixty-two
millions. Now take one third of this
for manufacturing purposes, and it
leaves forty millions of gallons for
fifty millions of people to drink. Ac-
eording to this ratio, the per capita
consumption Of domestic distilled
spirits in 1870 was five quarts, and in
1880 was three and one-half quarts.
This is going under the operation of
a change from strong drink to lighter.
From whisky to wine, beer, and 9TH
er termented liquors. But rrnhibi-
ton wishes it squelched at once and
for all and they won't get it..

How it Works.

Prohibition prohibits splendidly in
C~otteeville. We learn from a lawyer
of our town, who was in Cotieeville
on last Monday, that it was a field
day for whisky as more people were
drunk without whisky, as it is a pro-
hibition town, than he ever saw there
with three or four saloons in full
blast. Hurrah for prohibition, when
it takes the sale of whisky out of the
hands of honest men under. the su-
pervision of law, and places it in the
hands of''Tom, Dick and Harry"who
sell without regard to legal or moral
restraint, sell it on the sly from a
hole in the wall, under a plank on
the floor, behind an old cupboard, and
sell whisky made from diluted alco-
hol, or spirits qnrectitied and filled
with tusil oil, and make large profits
and pay no revenue. "But anything
to please the children when they cry
for something new"
