Mu. CORIIBY'S P?Biac SCHOOL BILL.-The Philadelphia Age gays: "Congressman Cor ley, of South Carolina, has introduced a resolution into tho House, instructing the Committee on 'Education and Labor' to con si dor the dangers which environ the future peace and safety of the public, throngh the introduction of disloyal and treasonable text-books and other publica? tions, into the publio schools of tho nation, and the expediency of providing some pro? tection against the injurious influences of snob publications. If this step be taken, what is to prevent Congress from declaring that none but radicals shall act as teachers in the public schools? They have as much power to do one os the other act. Besides, who is to determine what constitutes 'dis? loyal and treasonable text-books?' A politi? cal party? If so, then the Constitution will be banished from the schools, for that instrument has been stigmatized ns a 'league with hell, and a covenant with death,' by a leading radical, and the late Mr. Stevens took ali occasions to show his contempt and disregard for this great heart of the nation. Inch by inch the tide of radical aggression is encroaching upon the rights of the peo? ple; and yet the masses will not see the danger." -o The civil war wbioh bas been raging in Japan since tho beginning of the year 1866 is at an end. Prince Aid sen, the most powerful a ni on ?t tho Northern Dai tu i os, who, after tho resignation of tho Tycoon, continued tho war against tho Mikado oe his own account, concluded a capitulation with the Mikado on the 6th of November. The authority of the young Mikado, whe has recently beoomo of age, is now recog? nized throughout the country. HcnoefortL the Mikado will be the actual os well as thc nominal ruler. Yeddo, wbioh heretofore has been tho residence of tho Tycoon, wil now be the residence of the Mikado and thc capital of the Empire. Strong assurance) have already been given to tho forcigi nations that tho foreign treaties will bi strictly observed. Several foreigners wil fill high positions under the new Govern mont. The abolition of thc Tycoonato am the establishment of a regular form o government may bo considered as necessar; reforms. Some Ave, six or ten years ago, Captai Creighton, of a British barque, rescuet with great gallantry, a largo number c United States troops from death on boar the shipwrecked vessel San Francisco, o which they had been embarked. Congie.' voted hima medal, in acknowledgment of li services, and to-day he is to get it. It lu taken six or eight years to accomplish th little feat. How fortunate it is that in th country there is no such thing as red tap but everything is dono promptly-at ju tho right time and in just the right wa; Whether Captain Creighton still lives, ar is sufficiently in possession of his memoi to recollect thc service for which ho is to 1 rewarded so munificently, we cannot say. [New Yor/c Times Wh. The last novel scientific idea iu Europe that of Dr. Poggioli, recently present? before the British Academy of Mcdicin He thinks that by the use of electricity ch dren may bc improved in mind as well as body. Ho instanced a child which wa? phenomenon of deformity and stupidit which, under thc influence of electricil grew three centimeters in a singlo mont and has since been always first, instead last, in his class. Vegetation is mu richer and moro rapid in its growth wh electrified than otherwise. Dr. Toggi proposes, by way of experiment, that t six lust pupils of each class iu a lyceum college be subjected to this electrical tre mont. -o DEVICES OP TUE GOOD.-There was p sent at the recent opening bal masque tho opera, in Paris, an American gentlomi who is opposed to going to balls on Sati day night. He is conscientious about tb and was much perplexed as to how heshoi consistently attend tho ball in question, was present and made the following exp nations: "I have reflected that owing to I difference in time between here and N York-about six hours-I can leave here about live io the morning and not infrir upon the Sabbath." That man onght tc a small contributor to tho treasury c< science fund. -o Du Brunfaut, iu Paris, has recently es bited articles made of spun glass, such head-dresses, watch-chains, curled i smooth ostrich feathers, &c, differing fi those in ordinary use only in being QI finer and more durable. Tho usual ob Hon to glass fabrics of brittleness, ?fcc, cl not apply here, as the thread is as fine t spider's web, and not inferior in strengt! tho best wool, while far exceeding it beauty. The flexibility of the thread i be readily appreciated, from the fact tin may be worked in the sewing as well te the netting machine. -o LOCOMOTIVE WITHOUT STEAM.-The! York Sun Bays that Mr. Moltz, after e years labor, has produced a locomti which ho believes will supersede the ne steam on railroads, and relieve the pu of tho apprehension of disastrous ex sions. Tho machino is sot in motioi levers acting on an eccentric, which m the wheels of tho engino. Balan weights and springs seem to supply motivo power. The model, which is oi hibition in New York, cost the inve $13,000. .-o-? At Plymouth, N. H., there ie a cat wi in tho summer season, will go to tho br plunge in and seizo trout swimming al which she will bring into the house and lay on the floor, purring around tl and apparently oraving praise for her p tory feats. EctniPSB or TUB MOON.-On the 27th of this month, at 7.82 o'clock P. M., the full moon, in the sigu of Cancer, will move into a portion of the shadow of the cai th, and become a little lees than one-half eclipsed. The middle of the eelispe will occur at 8.42, the end at 9.52 in the evening. The size of the ecliapo will be 5>.< digits on tho Northern limb. The moon will be one hour above the Eastern horizon at five minutes after G o'clock on that evoning. A Nevada paper says that all that is re? quired in tho lodging-house business in tho newly-discovered auriferous white pine regions, is a lot of stout iron hooks and a fow gunny bags. The hooks nro drivon into convenient trees, aud tho lodgers hung up in the sacks, nfter which the landlord has nothing to do till morning but loaf about and keep up fires nuder snch trees as ho has located. The donflnion of Canada is suffering from a plethora of silver coin. Banks will not take it cn deposit, and tho tills of stores, and tho pockets of well-to-do people, aro overloaded with it. Most of this surplus coin is of Philadelphia origin, and bears tho eagle on its face. We have expelled it by our depreciated shin-plasters, and arc not yet ready to take it back again. A new-married couple attended ono of the ! fashionable churches of Boston last Sab? bath, and to tho surprise of thoso in thc vicinity where the party were seated, thc bride fell fast asleep. Her friends laughed at her for her sleepy appearance, when she excused herself by saying that her rest, ol late, had been much disturbed. Tho increase of thejpopulation in Brook lyu hos rendered it necessary to pr?vido r larger supply of water. Accordingly, thc water company is about to mako arrange? ments which will make the total daily sup ply about 25,000,000 gallons. Tho presen consumption varies from 15,000,000 tc 20,000,000 gallons daily. A gentleman in a Now York street ea paid by mistake a gold piece instead of ? three cent piece to a conductor. The latte didn't like tho appearance of the coin. au< so immediately passed it off ou a boy. Tin boy was certain he had received a bad cent and took it to the depot for redemption where tho original owner recovered it. A scholar was tnroed out of one of tin distriot schools, in Sutton, Massachusetts the other day. because he ;was forty-eigb years old and had a family, including t w or three grown children. He said "hi boys and gals had more laming than h ! .4.1, and he wanted to ketch np with 'em.' In tl cave, at Rook Island, Illinois, a st: tue cjf an Indian maiden has been discovci ed. It, has a solid copper pedestal, scve feet high, and obelisk of solid brass. Otlu Indian curiosities have been lately disci veredin the samo vicinity. Fort LaFayette, in tho New York ha bor-or what rcmai.isof it siuco the fire to be torn down, it being useless as a cl fence to the harbor. Tho improved arti lory, it seems, will require better forts tim wo now have. A man named Reed was chloroformed, his room, in Earle's Hotel, in New Yor ono night last week, and narrowly escape with his life. Ho was robbed of ??5,000 greenbacks. "Your wife's fat, but she's not handsom Smith." "Well, Jones, that's expressii your opinion plump and plain, anyhow "You are right, Smith, that's exactly u notion; she's very plump and very plain.' At a Sabbath sehool meeting, out West, young lawyer made a motion that th "choose a committee of ladies and gent mon to raise children for tho Sabba school." A sleeping car was hurled over an e: bankmont on the Pan-handle (W. V.) Ra road, a few days ago, and three passongc instantly killed and several badly woundc Tho sensation in hotel lifo in Daytc Ohio, on Friday, was the arrival of a dc ble wedding party from Miama County father and his son-who had married siste the father wedding tho younger. A few days since, a lady named M Howoll, shot and killed a negro at L Oak, Florida, for attempting to outrage h Tho great powers, except Russia, hi united in demanding Greece to vithdr her objections to the conference, as at p: sent constituted. The people of Utah want moro mail in lities. Singular! The males havo mi facilities there now than in any other p tiou of tho country. A distinguished chemist makes the i pleasant announcement that every spoon of raw sugar which is put in a enp of or coffee is alive with vermin. Refining sugar kills the insects. 2,000 women, wives, etc., of tho Rnjab Jeypore, lately set upon their guardi who was keeping them too strictly, i beat him most unmercifully. Ho bat escaped with his lifo and a broken arm. No feather-bed soldier-one who ' poses on his laurels." A woman can keep a secret, for a ! Francisco paper mentions a lady in t city who lately surprised her husband v a present on which she hud been at work two years itt secret. Helping a young lady out of a mud-1 is said to bo a beautiful extract, but c gorous withal. WE "WANT TO KNOW."-The newspa] say that "the chnplain of Auburn pn won't pr.'ach to the convicts any longer causo the State has u Democratic vernor." Does ho think that tho now vernor carries the millennium in his poe or that convicts only need the gospel ni a Republican administration? Two enterprising typographers pro] publishing a tri-weokly paper on steamer Richmond, plying between '. Orleans and Louisville. A salo of 16,000 acres of mineral land made in Bland Connty, Virginia, a days ago. The "bump of destructiveness"-a way collieion.-Judy. Senator Henry Wilson, at a Christian Temperance Convention, held at the "Hub" the other day, said that- "during the last ten years he traveled 10,000 miles, but ho had. nowhere Been so much drunken ness as in Massachusetts." A Con necticat town at present is earnestly engaged in watching the trial of a police? man for wearing gray breeches instead of the regulation blue. One peculiarity of the- Chinamen in Cali? fornia is that they never walk if they can by any means procure a ride. Another pecu? liarity is that as soon as they get rich they go homo aud gamble away what they have made, and then return to get more. Out of all the Southern families that Wont to Brazil, at tho close of tho war, only seven or oight remain. The "Hostings colony," on the*Amazon, has beeu reduced to a rem? nant. Those that are left aro in a destitute condition. .*I go through my work," as the needle said to the idle boy. "But not till you aro hard pushed," as the idlo boy 6aid to the needle. Gent-"Waiter, they say there is nothing Uko leather, don't they?" "Yes, sir." "Thon it's a lie, for this stouk is!" Waiter melts. Maj. Edward Anderson, an aged citizen of Laurena, died last week.
