tionists, who not only object, but
(and blush to record it, actually
stand in the way of its enforcement !
The principal objection of these
miserable, contentious grumblers is,
that for the Board of Education to
attempt to interfere, in the classif-
cation of a school, is contrary both
to the letter and spirit of the School
Law of Ohio.


This pretty and foolish objection
is fully answered, and thoroughly
refuted, in such a way as to add
fresh laurels to those already
won. The honorable Board admits
that the law gives them no authori-
ty to pass such resolution, and that
it has gone contrary to the letter
and the spirit of the law. But the
eminent Christian gentlemen and
philanthropists who compose the
Board, go back to higher authority
than the law. They go back to
Holy Writ. Here is their argu-
ment, and 1 challenge the orations
of Charles Sumner, or Wendell
Phillips, or any other orator of
either ancient or modern times, to
produce its equal. Let it be read
by every lover of the English Ian
guage! Let it be treasured up on
the page of history, and handed
down to posterity as the greatest
achievement of the intellect of the
nineteenth century. Here it is:


"Paul says that all things are
la1CfuI, but all things are not ezpe-
dient. Now we admit that this res
olution is not lawful. But there is
an old proverb which says, that it is
ga poor rule that won't work both
ways" Consequently, if PauI's
rule is good one, it will work both
ways, and reversing it we may safe
ly say, that all things are. espedient,
but all things are not Ia,cful. Then
if all things are expedient, it must
be expedient to make the races re-
cite separately in our schools
Therefore, we have right to make
and enforce this resolution ~


In conclusion, permit me to ad-
dress n word to members of Boards
Education in other townships. Gen
tlemen, for the sake of humanity,
for the sake of yourselves, for the
sake of your posterity, for the sake
of long down-troddeu race, meet
as soon as possible and adopt this
resolution for the government of
your schools. Do not try to alter it,
for you cannot improve upon it. But
adopt, and enforce it, as it is, and
our country will be saved. May
the good work so happily inaugu-
rated go on, from township to town
ship, from county to county, from
State to State, till the whole nation
is overshadowed by its benign in
fuepce, till it shall shake the earth
from centre to circumference.

Talk up and work up your town,

useful and creditable enterprise in
your midst, for as certain as effects
follow cause, so certain will every
enterprise of merit repay every cit
izen. We cannot live unto ourselves
and we cannot discourage any
movement in behalf of place with
out inficting upon ourselves a per-
sonal injury. If you see a needed
improvement for the town, demand
it and talk it up vigorously until
the whole community is impregnat-
ed with the idea-until a storm of
public sentiment compels the work.
Don't stop because some poor num-
my, out of whom has withered all

your live fellows that it will pay,
and leave the mummy to his en-

see the result of your courage and
talk, in universal Improvement, In

REBUILT CHICAGO CELEBRATED YESTERDAY
the anniversary Of its terrible fire, which hap
pened just year ago. The details of that
calamity are yet SO fresh in the minds Of the
people that the notes Of thankfulness and
rejoicing over the new city rising from the
ashes of the old will be hailed all over
the world with heartfelt sympathy for
the Queen of the West and her daunt-
less children. The magnificent building
of the new Chamber of Commerce was
thrown open with appropriate ceremonies; the
people appeared in their holiday habit, and
the journals Of the city came out in new and
enlarged dresses ALSO This, indeed, is some
thing to be grateful for. Civilization rushed
with one accord to the relief Of the city in its
hour Of agony but the greatest triumph Of all
for humanity is that which shows in the rising
structures on every side how nobly, deter

The GRAND DUKE NICHOLAS IN CONSTANT
NopLE-A Russian Grand Duke has arrived in
the city of Constantine. What does it mean?
many persons are asking. 1t is the first visit
of the kind made by Russian Prince since
the Crimean war. 1t seems to indicate peace.
Peace is the echo of the conference of the EN-
perors at Berlin. It is well that the Sultan
should be assured that the Berlin Conference
meant no harm to Turkey. All this is well
but somehow our faith in princes is not great.
Friendly visits have too often preceded serious
war. What with the settlement of the Geneva
Court of Arbitration and the peaceful results
of the imperial conference, there is really some
good reason to hope that an era Of peace has
dawned upon the world. This visit Of the
Russian Prince to Cons.antinople is in good
time and in good taste.

The race at jerome Park on Saturday last
the Maturity Stakes, was not merely q
surprise in its result, but, as closely con-
tested race, has perhaps never been surpassed
In the interest 1t suddenly excited while the
running was in progress. Before the race the
betting on Harry Bassett was ten to one, with
few takers and, even on the second mile,
though barely leading by neck, the sporting
fraternity held their faith in his powers, only
to be mistaken. The event was hailed with
wonder, not unmingled with delight, that
something had beaten the favorite for fame

Tho Exodus from tho British, Islonds.


The stream of emigration from the British
Isles continues to flow with undiminished
force The official reports of the departures
from Liverpool during the last three months
amount to the enormous figure of ffty-four
thousand souls. When we remember that this
Is only one Of the ports Of departure some
idea of the. drain on the British population
may be formed. Ireland, which contributes
such large quota to the emigrant list, is only
partially represented in these figures, as nearly
all the steamers from Liverpool coll at Queens
town, where they embark passengers for
America. Another important stream sets ont
from Glasgow, and is fed at Londonderry in
the same way that the Liverpool lines are fed
in Cork. Taking the emigrants from these
sources and from London and Southampton
into consideration We would be justified in
setting down the emigration from the British
Isles at nearly four hundred thousand souls
yearly. This immense loss Of labor power
will in the end seriously affect the industrial
supremacy Of England, as labor must Of ne
cessity become dear as it becomes scarce. For
the most part the emigrants turn their faces
toward the United States, and the increase OF
our productive powers is in direct proportion
to the loss Of England. In Europe oil the ad-
vantages of life are centred in the wealthy
classes, and those who have to depend on
work must be content TO labor on in hopeless
poverty. They see in America new field

Oliver Wendell Holmes, thus discourses on lawyers as he finds them: s'The law yers are picked lot, first scholars, and the like, but their business is as unsym- pathetic as Jack Ketch's. There is noth- ing humanizing in their relations with their fellow creatures. They go for the side that retains them. They defend the man they know to be rogue, and pot very rarely throw suspicion on the man they know to be innocent. Mind you, I am not finding fault with them every side of a case has a right to the best statement it admits of; but I say it does not tend to make them sympathetic. Suppose in case of Fever vs. Patient, the doctor should side with either party according to whether the old miser oI his expectant heir was his employer. Suppose the minister should side with the Lord or the Devil, according to the salary offered and other incidental ad. vantages, where the soul of a sinner was in question. You can see what piece of work it would make of their sympath- ies. But the lawyers are quicker witted than either one of the other professions, and abler men generally. They are good -natu1ed, or, if they quarrel, theil quarrels are above-board. don't think they are accomplished as the ministers, but they have way of examining with special knowledge for case which leaves a certain shallow sediment of intelligence in their memories about great many things. They are apt to talk low ir mixed company, and they have way o1 looking round when they make point as if they were addressing jury, that ii mighty aggravatine, as I had occasion to see when one of lem, and pretty ia nous one, put me on witness stand a a dinner party once"
