An exchange says: Tulare, Cal
ifOrnia, proposes to furnish a novel ex-
hiblt for the fair. From a gigantic
redwood tree, 300 feet high, and twen-
ty-six feet in diameter, win be cut
two lengths forty-1ye feet long, and
these will be transformed into full slz-
ed railway coaches by following out
the interior. The rough bark of the
tree will be left on the roof, and on
the sides and ends the natural wood
will be left unpublished. The interior
will be finished after the style of the
Pullman cars. One will be a buffet
dining car, with bath, barber shop and
kitchen, and the other a sleeper, with
observation room Ordinary car trucks
will be put underneath, and the men
of Tulare, with their wives and child
ren. will make the trip to Chicago in
these strange coaches and live in them
while there The intention is to keep
these cars in the exposition grounds,
and to sell as mementoes the portions
of the tree cut away in their construc-

TaE SCHOOL PROBLEM.
Importance Of Providing at Once for
Public Education.

Alexandria Times.
However glowing the tributes paid
by SUPERINTENDENT Jack and Congress-
man Blanchard to the prosperous. con-
dition of the public schools and the Ii
nanccs OF the State, each mans person
al observation will teach him that these
speakers have drawn entirely upon
tier Imagination for their facts.
Every man knows that tie illiteracy III
his OWE immediate nei9hbolhood IS
simply fri9htiul; that the children are
growing up in dcplorable ignorance !;
that as rule the SOcalled school SEES
sousn do not last more than two or
three months in the year, and all eS-
pcrience teaches that this is almost
equivalent to 10 schooling at all, as the
child forgets in the nine or ten months
Of idleness what it learned during the
brief term.
1t is, then, sheer madness for the peo-
pie Of Louisiana to reject on Il question
of mere sentimentality, SO prlncely a
sun. as can be forced from the lottery
company in return for the privilege of
selling lottery tickets, which no one Is
! compelled to buy and which are mainly
/ sold to the fast young men and gam
| bltrs Of the Eastern and Western cities,
and they never individually Miss the
/ tr!illng pllce OF ticket.
( But the poor people will not only he

| the rosoate pictures drawn by the ant
orators Of the financial condition OF the
State, Treasurer Pipes, himself rahid
anti, officially states that the present
rate of taxation does not realize a funC
sufficient TO meet the expenses OF gov
ernment.
This lottery question appeals Will
ten fold force to the poor people OF tht
State. They are not able To pay for ths
schooling Of their children, nor are they
in condition to pay any higher taxes
the load is already as heavy rs they car
we'll bear. What supreme folly IT -
;as we have said before, for the people
to be led astray by scheming politicians
who have caught in their desperation
us drowning man clings to straw, a
this lottery issue to save them from Ger
tain defeat.
Aprupos. short time since we wer'
struck with the remark of plain ant
poor old gentleman from the hills, whit
was discussing the question OF ednca
ton. without any reference whatever t.
the lottery. He said it was a univer
sally recognized fact, strange as it Is
that the negroes as d luse will max

than tie whites. In this case, he ask
ed, how long Will it be before the ne

When the Democratic House of Rep
resentatizes of the Fifty Second Con-
gress shall be organized and ready for
business next month, the most serious
care with which it will find itself charg-
ed is how to meet the demands that will
be made for necessary expenditures for
the most important public purposes, out
of an empty treasury.
When the Democratic administration
of Mr. Cleveland went out Of service it
left in the Treasury a cash surplus
above all Legitimate demands Of several
hundred million, dollars. To-day the
Treasury is virtually empty, and the
Secretary is driven to practice the most
painful economy to make both ends
meet. The condition of the finances is
thus set forth: On the LIST Of September
the balance in the Treasury was 500, O00,-
900. One mouth later it was less than
245, 100000. On November 1st it was less
than S4000e000. Since then it has fallen
to about $4,000 600 less. Here is a most
rapid and somewhat alarming decrease,
with no income in sight to meet any eX-
traordinary demand. 1t is figured out
that there is now in the public pocket
availa bic for use without paying out
money pledged for the redemption Of
certificates, less than 100000.
There are 10 signs Of any rapid reCu-
pcration in the funds, aud when the next
Congress is called on to make appropria-
tons for the public defense aud such
necessary purposes, it does pot appear
where the money Is to come from.

But if Havelock had missed the chief
mark at Cawnpore, and had brought some
thing short of complete salvation to the
! distressed garrison of Lucknow, his daring
work had turned the tide in India and
broken the backbone of the mutiny. He
had proved that Europeans could bat

Theresa beautiful face in the silent air
Which follows me ever and near,
With smiling eyes and amber hair,
With voiceless lips yet with breath of prayer
That feel but cannot hear.
The dimpled hand and ringlet of gold
Lie low in a marble sleep;
/ stretch my hand for clasp of old,
But the empty air is strangely cold.
And my vigil alone keep.
There's sinless brow with a radiant crown,
And cross laid down in the dust:
There's a smile where never a shade comes
now,
And tears no more from those dear eyes flow,
So sweet in their innocent trust.
All, well! And summer is come again,
Singing her same old song;
But oh, it sounds like sob OF pain,
AS it floats in the sunshine and the rain
Ger the hearts Of the worlds great

There's beautiful region above the skies,
And long to reach its shore;
For know shall find my treasure there,
The laughing eyes and amber hair
OF the loved one gone before.
