Senator by the Govennr of Iowa, to fill tho

Tb? Logi-doturo of Florida. has passed an
sot to ..provost tU.erintcriairriageio^ whit**
fad b?ooks, abd tbe'G?Tcfbor' bis signed Jt,
' Newspapers as Educators. '
Ibis often .remarked by intelli
gent European travelers who visit
this country thar tho mass,of die
people here are much better in-j
jbr med upon, current events and;
general knowledge, and therefor o.",
competent to converse mote intel- j
; ligently than the great majority of
people of any other country. Tliis
j is attributed to the fact that in the
United States the rich, und tne
poor alike read the newspapers,'
while in Europe the circulation'of
these popular educators is almost
exclusively con tied to the moro
wealthy class of citizens ; and this
is easily accounted for. In the
United States, where the people
rule, every citizen is a component
part of the government; At every
election each citizen is called upon
toexerciso his judgment and ex
press his will upon various, ques
tions of public policy through the
ballot box. For him to do this
intelligently he must be informed
upon the current history of the
country^ and the only way ho can
obtain this information is by read
ing newspapers. In most European
countries tho government is in the
hands of an aristocracy, a dynasty
or a king) and 1 the great mass of
people have nothing to do but to
obey tho mandates of their sov
ereign.
By reading newspapers we not
only become iniormcd as to cur
rent political matters, but we ob
tain a vast fund of information
upon all other known subjects, in
cluding commerce, agriculture,
mechanics, science, art, religion
and literature- The newspaper,
therefore, may bc regarded as tho
great educator of thc nineteenth
century, and he who fails to read
some good journal fails to keep up
with tho general intelligence of
tho age. He is a drone in society,
a tool in politics, and a blank in
all that pertains to the general pro
gress of tho community in which
lie lives.
When we spoak of education
we involuntary think of schools
and olten overlook thc fact that
school education is tho mere
foundation for that practical and
u! i lit ai ian knowlcdgo which fits
men for the various dulies of life.
In this free renublic,\vhere every
citizen is a sovereign, it becomes
the duty, as ii should be the plea
sure, of every man to read the
newspapers and thus bo prepared
to exercise the high duties of his
citizenship. Notwithstanding all
this there arc, wo regret to say.
many persons in our land who do
not subscribe tor nor read any
newspaper. True, they aro in the
minority, and we aro pleased to
note that their number is diminish
ing each day, and we hope the day
is not far distant when every one
will consider it a duty he owes to
his family and to himself to sub
scribo for and to read at least one
good newspaper.-Edgefield Moni

however, hud mudo him somewhat pomp?os,

after breakfast, iu preacuoo of some gontio
moo who bad staid with him ovor tho oight,
pud who woro vow ou their way to town,
ho called bis overseer aqd,said to him:
??Mr' AUop, I desire you to impound
'BYg Briudlo,' in ordor that I may, hear uo
more auimodveraions of his eternal depreda?
ti?oB.*" ' ' . .,
Allels 6?w'ed and walked .off, sorely puz~
sledf to koow what the Colonel meant. So,
alter Colonel W.'left for town, ho trent to
bid wifo and asked hor whet Colonel NV.
mosul by tolling him to "impound'' theos.
(.Why," said the/"tho Colonel inca CB to
tell you to. put him in upon."
Alien (eft to perform tho foot, for it was
no.. irieousidoratjlo ono, ns tho animal was
rory w|ld aud. vicious, aod after a great
deal of trouble cud vexation, ho succeeded.

oki Colonel will ask mt; if t li aveimpound

Tbo'It?xt day the Colonel gav? a dinner
party, ?fttl ho was not tho least aristocratic,
Alleu, tho overseer, Sat down with tho Com
-pony, v After the seoood or third gloss was
discussed, tho Colonel turned to the over
seer sod said:
. "^b,, Mr. Allen, did yon impound Big
Brindle, sir?"
Allon straightened himself, aod looking
around tho company, said:
"Yes. I did, but old Brindle transcended
tho impauocl of tho impound and eoattcr
lophistioated all over the equanimity of thc
forcett '
, Tho company hurst into Sn immoderate
fit of laughter, while tho Colonel's faoo
rodeoed with discomfiture.
.'What do you mean by that, sir?" enid
he. jj
"?.' '*Wl>y, I menu, colonel," said Allen,
"that r old Brindle, being progoostigatcd
?xvitlr tiic idea of tho cholory, ripped and
tared, snorted aod pawed dirt, jumped

not bo impounded no how."
This w?s too much. Tho oompany roar
ed sguio, in whioh the Colonel was forced
to join, und in thc midst of tho laughter,
Allen leite tho table, saying to himself as
bc wcut, "1 rooken tho Colonel won't ask
me to impound any more oxen."
Io a private lettor to Cen. W. W.
Humphreys, Geo. M. W. Gary, of Edge

that the Company h?s been assured by the
authorities of the South Carolina Railroad
that within th roo months from tho time the
grading is completed they will havo thc
trains running to .Edgeficld Court House.
Ile also says that the people of Edgcfield
recognize thc impoitanoo of makiug con
nection at the Grccdwood & Augusta Road
with tho Savannah Valley Road, and that
they propose to go IO work at)'an early day
to raise funds with whioi. to continuo the
grud ng on to tho point of connection with
the Savannah Valley. This is indeed g??d
news for tho advocates of tho last named
enterprise, uud will doubtless inspiro them
with new hope. Tho completion of those
re'id* will givo Anderson direct connection

not only build up our town but will also

Rev. H. W. Strickland, in a lotter to
tho Baptist Courier, gives the following
information abolit tho manufacture of com
merdai fertilizers, while writing about
Port Royal, whioh we reprint for thc
edification of tho general public: "Wo .saw
io tbc warehouse on the wharf 20,000 tons
pumo. It had been ground up in Dublin
from the bone pu re I in? ed at Charleston or
Bull River, and brougt back to be sold in
thc United States. Thun it had crossed
tho oooun twice. Capt. McFall culled our
attention to the old fashioned honesty of
these guano dealers. The phosphate all
lay tu ono pile, It will be sacked, branded
as of a duzen different kinds and qualities,
with & different analyses stamped oh enoh,
professing to havo been made io Bsltimorc

Norfolk or some where else; and thus when
s marchani orders 'Whsn's Raw Bono/ it is
sucked out of that pile; snd 'Etiwso' or
.Boa Foul' or 'John Merriman/ &o., all
from that sumo pile. Tho agent of Tuoifio'
is eloquent over the special elements io
that fertilizer for ootton, while tho noller of
Haugh and Hurgar' is sure, from aotual
experience, that his itt bent suited to pro .

MOVEAH AND JAMR8.-Mr, Jomos's ap
pointment to tho postmaster-gcDoralship,
although it may, if ooo pleases, bo called a
concession to Mr. Cockling, is nevertheless
io every respect admirable, lt puts at the
head of a most important brauoh of the
Administration the man of all men in the
oouotry who bas given the highest proofs of
fitness for it. His management of the
Now York postofBoo has been literally the
beginning of a now regime in tho American
ttoatal service, Dot unlike that whioh How?
and Hill introduced in the British p03t~
office, and has rendered inestimable service
tO nosiness omi nodal Ufo, besides affording
o porfeot pfr.ctieal illustration of what is
meant by oivil service reform. Mr. Way no
MoVosb, too, is not simply a good lawyer;
he has shown himself nn excellent politician
and has been long a prominent opponent of
"tho maohine," both in bis own State nod
in tho nation at large. No Cabinet in Which
these two men have a place could, ovon if
other members were worso than ?bey are,
greatly disappoint reasonable expectations.

No NEED OF AN EXTRA SESSION.-Tho
contested olection eases oan wait without
any damage whatever. Wheo they are
taken up they should bo considered calmly
and thoroughly. No mao who waa Dot
fairly and legally elcoted to a scat in the
House should bo admitted. Whatever
defcots in the election laws may bo brought
to light should bo remedied, and whatever
moans may be suggested for making them
moro effective should bo applied in due
time. For all this there in DO haste aod DO
ocoasioD for an extra session. As for at
tempting to renew tho seotionol fight as a
meaos of raising political capital for the fall
csptpnign, it would bo a desperately short?
sighted thing to do. The country is tired
of this everlasting contention of North aod
South, and wants reposo and a ohaooe for
ovonts and sentiments to develop in a
healthier current, if tho contested elootion
esses eau be left until next winter, there is
reason to boliove that it will be all tho
better for the oouotry aod for the Republi
can party.-Neio York Times.
