Russia AND ENGLAND are making
such grand preparations that they
are both getting alarmed.
THE WASHINGTON I'ot ays the
reason Tilden did not come to
Washington to take the oath of
ofice and fight for the Presidency
was because Grant had made
preparations to arrest him and
throw into Fortress Monroe, on
the charge of sedition. Where
were Watterson's hundred thousand
armed men ?
SENATOR GORDON has made a
powerful speech against fixing the
date of specie resumption by law.
He holds that this matter should be
left to regulate itself. When poo."
ple are able to pay gold or silver
for what they want they will do it.
The passage of a law will not put
money in their pockets to do it
with. Gold is nearly at par now,
because nobody wants it. Make it
a necessary, and see how quickly
its price will go up.
The State Superintendent and the
Schools,
Judging from expressions of
opinion on all sides, the sentiment
of the State generally is in favor of
renon)inating the entire State
ticket. That opposition to this
exists is well known, but it seems
at present unlikely that it will
amount to much in the State Con
vention. It will be difficult to pick
a flaw in the official conduct of any
of the present officers ; and much
can be said in their favor. While
we would cordially acquiesce in a
renomination of the State ticket as
an entirety, there are some of the
incumbents whom we think ospecial
ly adapted to their duties. Notably
is this true in the case of the
4uperintendent of education. Cap
vain Thompson has been poculi irly
successful as a practical instructor
of youth. He was a professor in
his alma mater, the St'tto Military
Academy, in its palniost days,; and
since the war he has conducted with
the most flattering success the
Male Academy in Columbia. Called
by the State Convention to becomo
a candidaLto for the superintcendency
of education,.he threw himself into
the breach and made some telling
speeches during the camnpaig~n.
When the Hampton government
came into power all was confusion
and disorder. The public school
system especially, resembled cha~os
struck by lightning. It had been
the target of Radical knavery all
long , its fundn had been squan
lered, its teachers unpaid, its
claims piled mountatin high. Every
body that come along gave it a
kick and a promise of still further
-icks. Determined op)positLion to
ny further expenditure of moneys
i this line was evined by many
irominent Democrats. Such was
the condition of affairs wvheni
Superintendent Thompson assumed
.tharge. His vigorous hand soon
nade itself felt. Whether in urging
neasures of importance upon the
iegislature, or in reforming abuses
In the schools, he was indefatigable,
while his ability impressed itself
upon all who came in contact with
him. The result is most gratifying
Dept any obstacles, hechief of
which is the poverty of the people,
the public school system has been
S revivified, or, it might be said,
created; for that wvhichi formerly
bore the name was a mere abortion.
Through Superintendcent 'Thomp
son's exertions, assisted by Profes
sor Petty, of the House educational
committee, and other gentlemen,
the whole law has been remodeled
and improved, and the system is
,alpready working incalculable beno.
A~ft to the youth of the State.
STo the uninitiated, it seems an
Seas matter to conduct schools;
~lIe in reality this is onie of the most
dt it t,he- whole .range of
de,. The su or ntendency
for a long period. Every year adds
fresh experience, and the power of
doing good increases day by day.
The duties of the other State
offices are in the ordinary line of
business and can be performed
readily, but the science and art of
education is something to itself,
and requires a peculiar training.
It is for this reason that we doom
it of special importance that the
present superintendent be retained
in his office.
We are pleased to believe that
Superintendent Thompeon's fitness
is so generally admitted, that no op
position to his renomination will be
found to exist. He is eminently
fitted for the place.

Mr. Kearney, leader of the San
Francisco workingmen's agitation,
headed a deputation a fortnight ago
to the Roman Catholic Archbishop,
when, according to the San Fran
cisco .News Letter, that prelate thus
replied with placid urbanity to an
excited harangue : "Mr. Kearney,
I understand th.it you wish ie to
mind my own business. Very good;
perhaps you know what my business
is better than I do. But, Mr.
Kearnoy, thorn is only one gentle
man who is at present authorized to
show inc how to mind my business,
and that is the Pope of Rome.
Perhaps, Mr. Kearney, if you will
write to him, he will transfer that
power to you. And now let me tell
you a little story, Mr. Kearney. I
have lived here a groat many years,
and I know the temper of the poo
p1e of T"iiforni' pretty well ; and a
long timo ago, before you had come
to America, I went to bel one night
leaving every thing going on :n the
city as as usual. Well, Mr. Kearney,
after IL comfortablo night's rest, I
rose and looked out of the window,
and there in the street was a poor
fellow hanging by his neck, quite
dead, suspended fromn a lainp-p)iost
He was a poor fellow who did not
know how to mind his own business,
Mr. Kearney, and that was all. You
mind your business well, Mr. Kear-.
ney, and I will mino. Good morn
ing." Exit deputation.

A remarkable troupe is now
traveling through Scotland. The
Kilnai nocb Standard gives this
description of its members and the
perfortmances given : Miss Chris
tine Millie, the "Two-headed Night
ingale," who is not inaptly termed
the "eighth wonder of the world,"
gave two receptinns yesterday in the
Corn Exchango Hall. She has two
heads, four arms and four legs,
which converge in one body, pre
senting a most extraordinary ap
ponar.co. H-owever. there is noth..
ing at all rep)ulsive) in the spectacle;
indeeOd, the on looker is very favora,.
impressed by the intelligence,
vivacity and gracec of her p)erfor
mnances. She walks on either two
or four feot at will ; dances with
ease ; and sings duets in a very
beautiful and effoctive style, one
voice taking the treble and the
other the contralto. Great atten
tion has been bestowed upon her
education, and she speaks with
fluency several languages--a fact'
which the audience have an oppor -
tunity of verifying, as she moves
freely among the auditors and
enters into conversation with any
one who may wish to test her intel
ligence and acquiremnents Chris
tine Millie is accomnpanie(d by three
marvelously diminutive people
styledl the Duchess of Liliput,
Baron Littlefinger and Count Rose
bud-who contribute greatly to tihe
interest of the entertainment. The
Baron and the Count are brothers.
and native of Bologna in Italy, their
real names being Margri. T'he
former is thirty one years of age and
thirty-five inches high,and the latter
is twenty- nine years of age and
thirty-live inches high. The "Duch
ess," who was born in England, is
somewhat less in stature than
eithor. The tiny lady sings well,
and iR a graceful dancer, while the
brothers Margris' acting and danc
ing in a little pantomime are very
clever and amusing, and their fono
ing in a nmockc duel, arising from an
affair of honor, is a really capital
display of expert swordsmnanship.
The performances of the two
headed Nightingale and three Lili
p)utians give entire satisfaction
to the visitors to the hall, as is
