NATIONAL EDUCATIONAL ASSOCIATION.

The official bulletin of the National Educational
association has been received, and we take special
pleasure in clipping from its pages items of inter-
est to our teachers throughout the state.
1t gives first brief history of the association,
which was organized in 1857, at Philadelphia, and
has held twenty-s seven meetings. TWAS incorpor-
ated in the District of Columbia in 1886, and has
for it's object the elevation of character, the adj
vancement of the interests of the profession of
teaching, and the promotion of the cause of popu-
lar education.
The annual meeting, to be held July 18th to
20th, offers greater inducements than ever before,
for it is to be held on the Pacific slope, and all
who attend will have the pleasure of choosing
different route for return trip, provided such
choice be made at time of purchase. Tickets are
placed at extremely low rates, being only 5000
from Memphis, New Orleans and st. Louis for
round trip, and good for ninety days, with extern
sion of time beyond that by additional payment of
$40 for every thirty days.
The questions to be discussed are of vital inn
portance, whilst the names of the speakers are
sufficient guarantee that they will be ably handled.
Cards of information upon all matters not fully set
forth in the bulletin will be furnished each guest
on or before reaching San Francisco.
Excursions will be arranged for at low rates, so
that all persons attending the association can also
have the pleasure of visiting, if they choose, San
Jose, Monterey, Yosemite, and many other points
of interest.
San Francisco is six miles from the Pacific, and
is on a peninsula thirty miles long, and although
ranking third in size claims position in the front
rank in points of interest to the student and trav-
eler. and for beauty and convenience as a CONNER
cia city it is justly entitled to be called the Golden
Gate
Among the points of interest in and around San
Francisco, which we find mentioned in the bulle-
TIM are its public Libraries, seven in number with
an aggregate of 100000 volumes, Golden Gate
park, three miles long and half mile wide, GIN
House, Seal Rock, Sutre Heights, churches ana
schools.

The County Commissioners did
the right thing yesterday when
they decided to advertise for propo-
sails to publish the county levy. 1t
shows that the Board is conducting
the affairs Of their Office on purely
business principles-the only hon.
orable way of carrying out public
trust, for which they will receive the
gratitude of all honest, right-think-
ing people. BY this means they have
saved to the. county in this item
alone, two or three hundred dollars.
1t places every newspaper on an
equal footing, and gives the Com
missioners the right to judge Of the
merits of the paper, and at the same
time gives them the advantage of
getting work done at o fair price. -
A newspaper that can't thrive upon
business principles, is not worthy
the support of public patronage, and
the sooner the officials let this be
known the better it is for the public
and the taxpayer. Last year the
county paid for printing $4,000. :
This year the Republican Board
gets the same work done in a Demo.
cratic Office, under the bid system,
for $3.50. Does anybody object to
that, bat the newspaper man who
didn't bleed the county? We think
not. Go on, Messrs. County Com
missioners, and conduct your Office
on business principles-the only
legitimate way Of conducting bust
ness, and carry out re principle, ''a

The purchase OF bonds with the
surplus is being discussed by the
press, and the proposition of Gen.
Harrison to thus utilize the surplus
is generally condemned. On this
question the New York Sun shows
that Secretary Fairchild, last Janu-
nary, instead of buying bonds at
126, deposited $50, 100000 of the
surplus in banks without interest,
and now offers to pay 80 for the
bonds. This increased rate, together
with the two per cent. interest that
has accrued since, makes the cost
Of the bonds six cents higher than
needs to have been paid. loss to
the Government of 81, 440, 900 on

have purchased when divided among
the banks. This looks like poor
financiering, says the Washington
Post.

RELIGIOUS EDUCATION There
appears to be good deal Of incon-
sistency on the part Of some OF our
Protestant friends over the recent
order that has gone forth from the
head of the Catholic Church to edu-
cate their children in parochical
schools. Ministers are preaching
about it, editors are writing about
it, and one might almost be excus-
ed for believing that the nation was
about to be overthrow and Ro-
man Catholic dynasty erected on
the ruins. It seems to Us that II
parents have any right as regards
their children, they have the right
to direct as to the education Of
their children. Especially is this
true in this Republic, where indi-
yiduals are free to do as they will
so long as they obey the laws and
comply with the rules and regula-
tious established by the govern
ment. The nation does not as
sumo what mans religion shall
be, or that he shall have any relig-
ion whatever. The States have en-
acted laws provided for. public
schools which shall be supported by
property tax, and providing also
that in these schools sectarian doc
trines shall not 1etaught, so careful
is the government Of the rights OF
individuals, especially parents, in
the matter of religion. Catholics
and members of all denominations
are required to pay this tax, but
they are at liberty to educate their
children according to their own
ideas. AS any religion is better
than none, all of them intoxicating
morality and virtue, and as no re-
ligion is taughtin the publicschools,
it sometimes seems strange that 9TH
ers than Catholics who can afford it
do not send their children to schools
where religion is taught. May not
the fact that they do not be inter.
preted to mean that they are less
thoughtful of the spiritual well-be-
ing of their children than the Cath
olics are Of theirs.

Fish Living in Hot Water.

There is pond on the Lay ranch at
Golconda which is fed by the water
from the hot springs. This pond has
an area of two or three acres, and the
temperature of the water is about
eighty-five degrees, and in some places
where the hot water bubbles up from
the bottom the temperature is almost
up to the boiling point. Recently the
discovery has been made that this warm
lake is literally alive with carp, some
of which are over foot long. All eff
forts to catch them with hook and line
have failed, as they will not touch the
most tempting bait. A few of them
have been shot. and, contrary to the
general supposition the flesh was hard
and palatable. How the fish got into
the lake is mystery unsolved. With
in one hundred feet of it are springs
which are boiling hot, and the ranchers
in the vicinity use the water to scald
hogs in the butchering season.-SiLUer

WHITTIER Al EIGHTY.
New Engiand's Heroic Poet In the Closing
Years of His Life.

Years of His Life.
The recent celebration of the poet
Whittier's eightieth birthday was one
of the most extraordinary manifesto
tons of the kind ever witnessed in the
world. That New England should
honor her heroic poet was to have been
expected, and certainly that expecta-
ton was abundantly fulfilled; but
friendly salutations came from every
part of the country, and some of the
warmest from the Southern States.
The poets of America seem to be
especially fortunate in the closing years
of their lives. Many of them were born
in humble homes. and were reared in
poverty. if not in hardship. The EN-
erson boys, we are told. had but one
overcoat among them, and were
obliged on cold days to take turns in
going out-of-doors. Bryant thought he
was happy man when some enter
prising editor gave him two dollars for
a poem, even for such poem as THE
Waterfowl; and Whittier felt himself
abundantly rewarded if he could get a
few verses printed anonymously in the
poets corner of village newspaper.
But they all enjoyed peaceful and tri-
umphant days at last.
No one can escape trouble and pain
In this life, but most of us can choose
at which end of our lives we shall have
them. The foolish and the weak, the
wicked and the base. often have their
good time first, and generally have
their worst time last. 1t is impossible
to close an unworthy life in peace and
satisfaction. and the longer bad man
lives the more unhappy he becomes.
The English-speaking race have al
ways held poets in peculiar honor, from
the time when. four hundred and
eighty-seven years ago, Chaucer was
inferred in the Poets Corner of West
minister Abbey. The tribute to Whit
tier attests our kinship to the people
who have made the poets corner one
of the most fascinating and hallowed
enclosures on the Eastern Continent

A POWERFUL EXPLOSIVE.
One That Contains Neither Nitro-GIycerin
Nor Nitro CeIIuIoSe,

One That Contains Neither NItro-GIycerIne
Nor Nitro-CelIulose.
An explosive which is prepared in a
solid form. and contains neither nitro
giyceriue, nitrO-crllulose nor nitro
benzine has been invented by Mr..
Rudolf Sjoberg. OF Stockholm. It NAV
not only be employed for blasting
operations in mines and in quarries,
hut also in guns for filling torpedocs.
The preparation is carried out in such
Il manner that nitrate of ammonia is
mixed with melted purified solid HYDRO
carbon, and is gelatinized with LIQUID
hldrocarhon. or with only one or
with more melted hydrocarbons By
means of the ge!antinization. each par
ticle of the salt is impermeably incloseL
in LAYER of gelan tinous material, 50
that the hygroscopical properties Of the
nitrate of ammonia in the open mir are
prevented. Among the solid hv,lro-
carbons he uses naphthaline, parailino
and the like. and among the LIQUID
Hydrocarbons he uses purified par
afiine or astral oil. In order to facih-
tate the explosion or discharge OF the
substance. and tn increase its explosive
power. he adds there to finely powdered
chlorate of potash either in its pure
state or after it has been gelantinized
in the same manner us the nitrate OF
ammonia. The salts treated in this
manner when mixed together DO hot
come in direct contact with one
another.
1t is stated that the explosive thus
prepared has, at least. as great power
rs any heretofore ordinarily manu-
featured, and that it possesses a greater
amount of safety than they, whether
in the course of manufacture or when
being transported or manipulated. the
Sjoberg explosive being only capable
of being exploded in an enclosed space,
and by. means of a strong fuse can.
The explosive is, moreover, thoroughly
insensible to the action of cold. Other
salts of ammonia may be used.
4 modification of the process consists
in the nitrate of ammonia gelantinized
as described by means of hydrocar!lon
being mixed with whey Tor cheesv
matter, sugar OF milk. or the like)
obtained from milk, after the prepara-
ton has been subjected to treatneu.
with two parts of nitric acid of l. 40 to

of the substance, the Superiuous acids
being removed by washing. The prod
net obtained hy this method is = gray
powder insoluble in water, w;ic,l can
be easily exploded by means of a

either as "a substitute for chloratc of
