DEFINITION OF EDUCATION.

We will now attempt to give defini-
ton of education. Education, in its
widest sense, is general expression that
compreheuds all the influences which
operate on the human being, stimulating
his faculties to action, forming his habits,
mclding his character, and making him
what he is Though so powerfully
affected by these influences, he may be
entirely unconscious Of them. They ere
to him as "the wind which bloweth
where it listeth; but he knows not
whence it cometh nor whittier it goeth."
They are rot, however, less real on this
account. The circumstances by which
he is surrounded-th climate, the natu.
raj scenery, the air he brcathes, the food
he eats, the moral tone OF the family life,
that of the community-all have share
in converting the raw material Of human
nature either into healthy, Intelligent,
moral, and religious man, or, on the con.
trary, in converting it into an cmbodi-
.ment of weakness, stupidity, wickedness,
aud misery. Thus, external influences
automatically acting upon neutral ma
ture, produce, each after its kind, the
most opposite results. In this sense the
poor little gamin Of our streets, who de.
files the air with his blasphemies, whose
thoughts arc ofthe dirt dirty,who picks our
pockets with clear conscience, has been
duly educated by the impure atmosphere,
the squalid misery, the sad examples OF act
and speech presented to him in his daily
life-to be tie oucast that he is. Such
instances show the wondrous power of the
education of circumstances.
1t is a noticeable Characteristic of this
kind of education, that its pupils rarely
eyincc of their OWN accord any desire for
Improvement, and are in this respect,
scarcely tlis,inguishab!e from barbarans.

sweeping condemnation against the rich

cry of "down with the plutocracy' is an
insidious, inccndiary, revolutionary SEN

which we contrast with barbarsm is SIM
ply the result of that action of mind on
mind which carries forward the teaching
of Nature-in other words, of what we
call education. Where there is no spc.

and generally, as education advances,
civilization advances in proportion, and
thus affords a measure of its influence.

The Inllumanlty of Man 10 Man.

SUMTER, S. c., June 2.-The sepsi.
bilities of the citizens of Sumter have
seldom experienced greater shock than
they have to day upon witnessing the
condition presented by squad of sixty.
seven convicts which have been lying
over at the Coast Line depot here, en-
route for Columbia. In the whole batch
there is not a single decent suit OF
clothes. Jackets, shirts and pantaloons
are in tatttrs, and nearly all are bare.
footed. Fortunately it is warm enough
for the prisoners to escape actual aufier-
ing on this account.
The squad arrived here from Darling.
ton about IL o'clock this morning, by
way of the c., S. & n. r. r., and will
have to remain till they can be trans
ported further by the Coast Line.
These conyicts have been working
down on the Pee Dee in the construction
of the G., S. & N. road. Their work
being finished for the present, Capt. G..
E. Wheeler, who has had charge of them,
broke up the stockade at p. m. yester.
day and came over to Darlington. The
sick prisoners were brought in wagon j;
the others walked.
Dir. r. II. Baker, bookkeeper for
Louis McLsne, who has charge of the
construction Of the road, came along
with the guards, and informed the State
correspondent to day that one Of the
prisoners, William Gray, died on the
road to Darlington, of typhoid fever,
with which be had been sick for some
time. He was wrapped in blanket and
buried on the roadside.
The State correspondent learns that the
prisoners were fed just before leaving
the Pee Dee, aud after their arrival in
Darlington in the evening, but since then
have been given no food by the State au-
thorities. They left Darlington at I this
morning without having eaten since the
night before, aud have had nothing here
either for dinner or supper except what
was given in charity by the citizens of
the place, who had learned of their con-
dition.
The convicts, it is stated, usually get
meal and bacon furnished them, and
sometimes beef. The food is cooked by
the prisoners, the pots, etc, being kept
in the stockade, and meals are dished
out in pans three times day. These
things have not been forwarded yet, and
there will be nothing for the men to eat
as long as they stay here, except what is
given in charity.
Mr.. Baker and Mr.. Weeks each gave
one ofthe convicts 80 cents aud sent him
up town to buy dollars worth Of bread.
This made the midday meal for sixty
seven negro men.
This evening some negroes in the
neighborhood Of the depot cooked some
yictuals and sent them over.
The people here are horri6ed at such a
state of things Nothing of this kind
vas ever heard of a year ago, when the
superintendcncy of the Penitentiary was
in other hands, though the same squad
lay over here for some time. There
surely must be something wrong. The
people of Sumter believe in economy,
but not ia starvation.
One OF the men is paralytic, and has
been for months, yet he has been kept at
work on the road; two others have
dropsy, and one has severe wound on
the knee C6iumJia State.

SEIZE THE OPPORTUNITY.

If the citizens of Anderson and Ander.
son County let slip the opportunity to
secure the Industrial School for women,
they will illustrate the old saying "penny
wise and pound foolish" Like the Air
Line Railroad, such opportunities are
not always before community, and con-
sequently they must be seized as they
pass, or they are gone forever. There
may never be another occasion that
offers so much, both in education and
pecuniary advantages. 1t must be seized
now or else be lost forever. This affords
the golden opportunity for this section
of the country, and we trust our people
will see it, and put forth their very best
efforts and most liberal offerings to secure
it.
Never did the following lines by
Shakespeare apply better, than to this
very occasion:
"There is tide in the affairs Of men,
Which, taken at the food, leads on to for.
tune;
Omitted, all the voyage of their life
Is bound in shadows and in mseries.
On such full tide are we now ailoat,
And we must take the current when 1t
serves,
Or lose our ventures"

A Sinking Hill.

HARTFORD, May 27.-Jeremial' Tut
tie, wealthy farmer of Bloomfield, has
hill on his big farm in that town thatis
sinking into the bowels Of the earth. Mr..
Tuttle has a beautiful farm, most of
which is in a normal condition There
are great fertile meadows, vide reaches
OF noble forest and here and there spa
cio..s pastures in which his blooded COWS
Craze on her5age tha. is almost knee
deep. The queer sinking hill is one of
the big pastures, in what Mr.. Tuttle calls
the "rock pasture" The grass is fnerin
that one than in any other pasture liz
the whole region. Exactly in the centre
of the big lot is i hill, capacious of girth,
but not more than twelve feet high. The
oldest inhabitapt in Bloomfield, who is
upward of S. years old, aflirms that the
hill is as familiar with him as any room
in his own home, for many Bloomfield
people have been in the habit of taking
"short cut" home across Jerry's rock
pasture, and that he never noted any
thing odd about the hill until lately.
Now, since The hill is said to be sinking,
Bloomfield people avoid the rock pasture,
for they believed it is enchanted.
A few weeks ago Mr.. TutLie sent his
hired man, Michael Flannigau, who has
worked on the Tuttle farm for years, to
the rock pasture with the COWS, and in
half I'll hour Michael came home hur-
ried with 9 startled look in his face.
When he entered the pasture, he said
later, he stopped in amazemert, lor ne
saw at a glance that the hill had gone
down iuto the earth several inches since
his visit to the lot 8 day or two before.
To be sure that his opinion of the hill
was correct one, he went close to it
and took an estimate of its height,
sighting across its top" at o!d-time and
trustworthy landmarks, and was satisfied
it had gone down not less than eight or
len inches After he had told his story,
every one-NIr. Tuttle, too-guyed him
mercilessly. But Michael doesn't drink,
50 ne took the gliding good ,naturedly,
and persisted in affirming that his state
ment was correct. His earnestness
finally impressed others, and Mr.. Tuttle
aud some of the neighbors visited the
rock pasture with Flanuigen, whose
declaration at once WAS seen to be true.
The hill had sunk several inches since
NIichael's previous visit. Moreover, the
hill is still sinking daily. Slowly and
persistently it is being swallowed up. 1t
is now only q slight undulation in the
lot: and lis top but a foot Or two above
the rest Of the laud there. What is the
cause Of Tie phenomenon no one attempts
to explain, but the Bloomfield people are
certain that within week or two the hill
will have entirely disappeared

Farmers South and West.

We wonder if the Alliance leaders ever
stop to think about, and discuss the cross
purposes to which they are striving. For
instance, Kansas, Illinois, Iowa aud
other Western farmers are contending
for en- adjustment Of trade so that they
can get bigger price for their corn,
wheat, pork, beef, ETC., which they have
to sell TO consumers in the States that do
not produce them. On the other hand,
Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Mississippi
and other Southern States that raise cot.
ton, potatoes, watermelons, etc, are con-
tending for such an adjustment of trade
as will enable them to realize better
price for their produce and at the same
time enable them TO buy Western pork,
corn, wheat, beef and the like for less
money than they now pay. The Missis.
sippi, Alabama and other States South
want Tennessee mules for less money,
while the Tennessee farmer is bent on
getting more money for his mules than
he is now getting from these cotton rails.
ers. Florida wants better prices for her
oranges, and Tennessee is bound to have
at least a couple Of dollars more per bar.
rel for potatoes that go to Florida. The
Tennessee, Alabama and Georgia farmer,
pay too high for their field seeds, while
the North, which supplies them, kicks
against the price of strawberries and
tomatoes. And so this game of cross
purposes goes on and on, and the Polks,
Macunes and other Office seeking leaders
have never made u suggestion a sto how
these farmers in different sections OF the
country are 10 improve their respective

Free Trip for Farmers.

Minneapolis journal: Some of the
gram dealers of the city are thinking OF
giving some OF the North Dakota farm
ers, who have become prejudiced against
this city as wheat market because of
misrepresentation, an opportunity to in
spect the whole working of the wheat
system here, and top it off with an in
formal lunch at the West or some other
convenient place. The matter has not
taken very definite form yet, but it was
said today that canvas will be made OF
the principal grain firms to see whether
the matter could be undertaken at this
time. The idea is to have leading farm
ers of the Red River valley and North
Dakota. where there is some disaffection
to visit the city as guests OF the grain
men, look over the mills, see how the
wheat inspection is made, and observe
the workings of the cash market on
the floor OF the Chamber of Commerce,
where low grade wheat is sold strictly on
its 1uality and to the delight OF the
North Dakota shipper who can find an
easy market for it nowhere else. The
Invitation list, it the plan is adopted,
would probably include 100 farmers.
