IT has been suggested that United

were the case, perhaps Senator Quay

interest in his old comrades to be present

However, we are glad to state, that the

inter ala, defamation, composition and
debate But why the average scholar in
the country cannot consume and properly
digest as many branches of study as the
average scholar of equal age in town or
city, | again fail to understand. 1t can
not be because of any popularity IN the
atmosphere, temperature, or surroundings
well. surroundings may have something
To do with il.
Our friend again says: Alter many year
of experience in teaching IN our common
choOlS | learned that anything that ex-
cited the minds of the scholars. outside of
the studies taught, hindered their pro-
gress." But just why writing an essay or
composition in the country should excite
the mind of the scholar" any more than in
the city, is again beyond my ken; and l
suppose there are many kuadreds, even
| thousands of them written there, appar-
emily without any undue PERTURBATION OF
mind. Indeed, | cannot see exactly how
scholars writing an essay, on some Aery
tame and pacific subject at least would
tend anywhere to disturb his or her equili-
brium any more than the writing of So
cial letter to a friend; and L certainly
would advise every scholar, in addition to
correspond regularly with some friend or
friends. Mr.. Lincoln once wrote Gen. Nc
Clelland that ii was unmanly for him to
claim that he could not marct his army
over roads, over which, and through
which Lee was marching his
army every day, although not so well
equipped. So can the country scholar of
to-day do just what thousands OF country
scholars have done before, under less ad-
vantageous circumstances; and it will GER
tainly be very puerile to claim that they
cannot.
Thomas W Phillips, now candidate
for Congress in this 10Th District, never
was able To obtain more than such an ed
ucation that is afforded by a common
school in connection with Literary So
ciety. Senator j. W. Lee of Franklin, III
a recent sketch of Mr.. Phillips life, makes
use of this language: aside from his
studies he read widely, history, biography,
and scientific literature and was passion
atcly fond oi the lyceum-the college oi
the common schoois-and obtained local
d distinction for his ability as an original
thinker and debater"
The value OF we'll conducted Literary
Society, i'll connection with country COM
mon school, is in my judgment, inestima-
ble aud should be established by Jaw ev-
erywhere. There is nothing better calcu
lated tn arouse the latent ambition, and
inspire the slunberiug aspirations of the
scholar. The every day routine of the
school room becomes very monotonous To
the young mind and mental progress as
consequence becomes very sluggish, and
their studies insipid and unattracuve. A
Literary Society arouses scholars from this
lethargy, adds variety which is the spice of
life, and furnishes mental recre alton
which is just as necessary To the student,
as are gymnastics to the athlete.

In Behalf of jewish refugees,

CHICAGO, ILL, March 26.-Two hundred
Jewish travelling men to-day met here in
the interest of the refugees. Addresses
were made by Hon. Simon Wolff of Wash
ington, DIR. Hirsch, Adolph Loeb. presi-
dent Of the Russian relief association,
and many others. Al dwelt earnestly upon
the desire Of the Jewish people in America
that .-.e refugees shall not be allowed to
become a burden upon the labor market.
DR.. Hirsch said that while in Washington
he had pledged his word TO the president
that the Jews would not be allowed to be-
come burden to the government, nor de-
pendent upon the general public, and he
called upon his audience to aid in keeping
his pledges. The travel ers organized
an association to act with the relief
association. The members took upon them
selves the work of pleading the cause of
the refugees while on their commercial
travels, securing them whenever possible
self-supporting positions throughout the
country.

The silver Question,

WASHINGTON, March 26.-Word was re-
ceived here to-day from Catchings that he
would reach the city on Monday When
he returns the rule to bring silver to a
vote will be adopted by the rules commit
tee, and will make its appearance in
the house on Monday. The anti
silver men are making strong
fight to defeat the rule, and are hopeful
of success. but it is practically conceded
the rule will carry in the house, provided
the Republicans as party do not oppose
its adoption. When the question comes
up on the passage of the bill, how
ever, there is no doubt as to how
the Republicans will stand, and there will
be the alliance between the anti-silver
Democrats and all except nine of the Re-
publicans. Mr.. Funston of Kansas and Mr..
V. a. Taylor of Ohio, who voted with the
free-coinage men, will vote against
the bill on its merits. The anti
silver Democrats assert they can
win the fight on its merits, but by narrow
majority. The free coinage men have
abated to remarkable degree
their confidence in their ability
to pass the free coinage measure
through the house, aud are endeayoring to
have every man who is with them present
when the vote is taken. A number of free
coinage men are very doubtful of the result
and expect de!elt by one to five votes.
