4 THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, FKIDAY, JANUARY. 6,' 1871. 3 v FDUC.i 170.V .V SWKDKS. Eri cation in Swedish In almost universal, thank to thorough legislation upon tho subject.. General C O. Andrews, our Minister at Stockholm, hai re cently forwarded to the State Department at Wash ington full reports upon the Swedish educational system. From these, It appears that the number of children In Sweden, In 186?, between 5 and 15 years, was 679,128, of whom 621,64 J were attending the "Folk" schools ("chools for the lower classes), and 141, Ml were attending other schools or being In structed at home. It follows, therefore, that 97 dut of every 100 children wero receiving Instruction a percentage which Is probably not exceeded by any other nation, and which the most enlightened of the United States of America may look upon with envy. Several causes have contributed to the more than ordinary diffusion or literary knowledge among the masses of Sweden. From the earliest period, fie peasantry coustitut m one or the lonr estates or chambers of the highest legisla tive assembly the Diet. Tha masses eujoyed much liberty, and took part In politics. On the establish ment or the Lutheran Church three centuries ago, the rite or confirmation and a knowledge of the catechism were made obligatory. For many years back there has hardly been a Swede, therefore, who could not at least read. A peasant from Scania, Nils Manson, had the honor of introducing the first bill for the establishment of a popular sys tem of education Into the Swedish Diet In 1828. Hundreds of school-houses are annu ally erected. In 1801 400 new ones were finished. Modern Improvements, such as arrangements for drawing the foul air from near the bise of the room, and heating with hot water or steam, ore generally Introduced in new school-houses. School libraries are established by law; there are MOO in Sweden. Compulsory attendance may be carried to the sepa'atlou or children from parents ; but 'his has been resorted to in but few instances, where povrty of the parent rendered it necessary for tne p irlsh to support the child. There is a growing sen timent In favor of enforcing universal attendance, though perhaps not extending to the separation of parent and child. If school-house accommodations are Insufficient, pupils are equally divided, and each half attend al ternately two or three successive days. In the country, bojs and girls attend the same school, but In large towts separate schools are provided. In struction In folk schools Is practically gratuitous. Movable schools for those parishes deficient in means ;or population s a feature or the Swedish school system. In 1SCT there were 2117 fixed and 120G 'ambulatory" schools. In 1SC7 there were 33G5 male and 2C0 female teachers. The average num ber of pupils to a teacher is about 70. Beside the Folk schools there Is the "Sma Skola" (small or pri mary schools) and' the "Hogre Folk Skola" (folks higher schools). In 13C7 there were 82ia Sina Skols, with 151,026 pupils. There are but 10 of the Fulls higher schools. There are two agricultural Inst: tntes and 23 agricultural schools that receive some aid from the Government. There Is an Institute and six scnools for instruction in maintaining and slock ing forests. There are also several tra le and scien tific schools. Of her two ancient and famous uni versities, Upsala and Lund, the former Is the larger, and has 100 professors and tutors, and 14 i!) students, an Increase of 139 over t ie year 1801. Tais univer sity had its beginning ii h 3 year 1250, Haws strxvx&XAB.'ar, City Affair. Franc s Craven, aged nineteen years, who fell from a building at Twenty-second and Washington avenue ou 'Wednesday, died at the Pennsylvania Hospital at an early hour yesterday morning. Patrick Bailey, a young man of eighteen years, was stabbed last evening several times in the head while passing along Lombard street, near Water. His assailant, a young man about the same age, made his escape. Dailey was removed to tho Pennsylvania Jlonpital, where, on examination, his wounds were discovered to be f a trivial character. Rev. A. G. Wylie was last evening in stalled pastor of the First Reformed Congre gation of this city. Philip Bruck, charged with assaulting Ernest Stidler, at Nicetown, about a week 8go, was admitted to bail yesterday. The physician attending Stidler pronounced him out of danger, and able to leave the hospital. The lire at the Angora Mills yesterday damaged property to the value of $ 150. It was not true that the mills were subsequently destroyed. The second fire was at Ashworth it Henry's West End Mills, Sixty-first and South streets. The drying-house was entirely burnt out, incurring a loss of $8000, upon whiob. there is an insurance of $1000. The St. Crispins yesterday resolved to maintain the rate of wages paid last fall. Alice Young, aged 18 years, had her hus band, aged r0, placed under bail yesterday for beating her. F.refua Aflalra. The inclemency of the weather in France increases. A general forward movement by the French is reported. Prussia expresses a friendly feeling to ward Austria. The new Spanish Cabinet is completed, with Serrano as President of the Council. The Army of the North has gained another victory, after a ten hours' engage ment. Three outposts of Saxon soldiers, sta tioned near Bolbec, were captured on Tues day. News from Constantinople is that the Porte contradicts the report of serious diffi culties with the Khedive of Egypt. Jules Favre informs Bismarck that he knows nothing of a European Congress, and will not leave Paris to attend it. The Presbytery of Belfast, Ireland, has denounced Mr. Gladstone for the interest which he has displayed in the welfare of the Pone. The London Times of yesterday criticises quite favorably General Schenck, the newly appointed Minister from the United States to England. There is considerable talk of various kinds in Europe, just now, about the Alabama claims, (showing evidently that considerable ' imoortance is attached to them there. Baron Von Beust, in his reply to the desDatch f Bismarck, notifying the Vienna Cabinet of the completion of German unity, says that it is received with satisfaction by the Emperor and the people of Austria, and it is their desire mat cooa relations ue esta blUbed between the two countries.

Henry (J . Brenner, a resident of Lan caster, Fa., waa to be married at 7 o'clock last evening, bnt a half honr previous to that time deliberately blew his brains out by means of a pistol shot, without any apparent cause for the rash act. The preparation of the Apportionment bill by Judge Mercnr has been delayed by the want of data the Census Bureau is not jet prepared with. It may be ready by next Tutsdfiy.

The Albany Journal of last evenlnr; says: The National Theatre was the scene of a most distrcr-slnf? accident Ust evenlni;. The building was well filled with spectators, and all seemed bent on enjoying themselves to their utmost, with their families. Among the artistes was a Mrs. Byron, scarcely more than seventeen years of age, pretty and attractive, who einRS and dances very charmingly. 8he had just finished ft solo, and responded to an encore, after which she retired to her dressing-room to prepare for the next scene. While there, mak ine her toilet, and rearranging her luxuriant hair, Ebo unfortunately leaned over towards the gns burner, and her tresses coming in con tact with the flame, ignited, and in an instant her head was enveloped with fire. The light dress which ebo wore also caught, and in her terror she stood for a moment or two utterly po w erles to call for help. When at length she gained voice, and her shrieks summoned assistance and the flames were extinguished, It was found she was burned in a most fearful manner about the head, face, neck, and upper portion of the body. Mrs. Byron was married about six months since to Byron, who is a professional actor, ber maiden name beirg Wright. It is thought that she can scarcely recover, from the fearful manner in which she ls burned. MAEINE TELEGRAPH. For additional Karint New tee First Page, ALMANAC FOR PHILADELPHIA THIS DAY.

To a certain extent this Is true, but we have also noticed that where a sstrlt of enterprise doe manifest Itself in 1 hiladelphia, there are always parties ready to discourage the movement, to belittle tho under taking, and to endeavor to ruin the projectors. Two new places of amusement have recently been erected In Philadelphia by private enterprise, at a very heavy outlay of money, and yet in each In stance etrorts have been made to create an impres sion that the buildings are unsafe and liable to tumble down at any moment, and bring death and destruction to all assembled therein. AUhongh they have been opened to the public for some time, these "unsafe" edifices are still standing, and will doubt less so remain for vears, monuments of tho archi tects' and builders' skill and workmanship, and as evidences of the untenable character of the predictions concerning them. They have both been well tested by the immense throngs who have gathered within their walls dur iDg the holiday season; not the slightest accident has occurred, not the least alarm has been created ; se that all the efforts made to bias public opinion against them have been of no avail. Philadelphia would exhibit far more enterprise If the proper sort of encouragement were manifested ; but there seems to be a feeling of envy in the hearts of many of her people when any one has the boldness to step out of the beaten track and lay out a new and Improved course. In our own city, Improvements both public and private meet with due favor, and the most humble of ber citizens are encouraged in their un dertakings. It a like spirit should show Itself la Philadelphia, and less jealousy and envv be the pre dominating feeling, that city would soon become as attractive to the stranger as New York Is at this day; but when her own papers endeavor to cast ridicule upon private enterprise, and endeavor to crush out what little of liberality and energy does crop out occasionally, it is not at all surprising that many of her capitalists and go-ahead citizens seek other places for the expenditure of their money and the exercise of their talents. . . One of the prettiest places of amusement In the country Is Fox's New American Theatre, Chesnut street, Philadelphia. It is not only pretty, but it la qnlte large. Over four thousand persons, we are told, were In attendance on Monday, December 2, abont half that number being In the amphitheatre, from all parts of which a good view of the stage may be had. - The - entire structure . Is well arranged, every convenience being found alike in the auditorium and on the stage. One of the best features of the entertainment offered Is the ballet, which Is comnosed or a number of nicely-formed young girls, whose attire, while not at all cumbersome, is verv attractive, ami curtailed of Its fair proportions just sufficient to show off the fair proportions of the wearers. Among the new performers presented this week are Miss Carrie Austin and Mr. Charles Austin, in the Zouave drib: the Wilson Brothers, ttvmnasta- 1iss Louise Graham, serio-comic vocalist, etc. Friday evenings are Bet apart as ladles' nights, and, so far this experiment has proved successful.
