This mulo looked liko he was 1118 years old, and was dead standing upon his foot. Ho wa9 hitched to a pine bodied spring wagon, with a high dash board. Tho "team" was stunding on tho Iovee in mulo silence, whilo tho old darkey who "driv" it went aboard tho wharfboat. A tramp could mako a barrel of money selling pictures of that mulo, labelled "Patience" His long, flubhy cars hung down each side of his bead liko window awnings with the rods out of them. His face wore a so ber look, whilo out of his mouth hung a tongue eight inches long. His tail swung down from tho rear bnd of bis hurricano roof liko a wot ropo, whilo his wholo body aeemed aa motionless as death itself. Presently a rod bead ed urchin, with an old boot in his hand, walkotl up in front of him, and, looking into his face, saw that tho mule was asleep. Ho walked around, cllmbod up into that wagon, leaned over tho dash board, lifted that mule's tail and lot it oome down in timo to catch a death grip on that boot leg. That mulo woke up so quick that ho kicked tho boy and tho dash-board twenty foot into tho air. Ho didn't stop there. Ho changed tho position of his oars, hauled in his tongu., planted his fore feet, and bis head botweon his knocs, and from tho foro shoulders to tho tip of his trunk was In lively motion, and ho didn't look like he waa more than two years old, tbo way be was kicking that old wagon hotly into kindling wood with bis heels. Ho had it all to himself, and was doing flno, when the old darkey rushed up the hill, got in front of him, and grabbing him by each oar, shouted: "Whoa I I toll you. Wat's do matter wid you ? Wboa-upl" and looking around at the crowd, yell ed, "Will somo o'yor gemntcn git dut or boot leg out whilo I hole him I kose do waggin'a mine an' I jes borrowed do mulo."

WEDNESDAY MORNING, JAW. 11, 1170. "LEGALIZED JIOHBERY. TUX ADVANCED EDUCATION FEATURE OF OUR COMMON BCUOOLS. Governor Robinson, of New York, in bis late mossage to the Logialaturo of thv. tWi! square on tho bead in alluding to tho school question. Ho says : "To tbe oxtenl of giving to every child in the Slate a good common school oducution, sufficient to enable him or her to understand and perform tho duties of American cilixunship. and to carry on intelligently and success fully .tlia ordinary labors' of life, tho common schools are and should bo ob jects of tho deepest concern In the whole commuuity. To tho few who desire and are capable of a still higher education, and who havo an ambition to shine as professional men, and in the arts of literature, music, painting, and pootry, tho door is wide open for them to win distinction in those call ings. But to levy taxes upon the poo plo for auch purposes is a species ot legalized robbery, and even tho recipi ents come to know it Thoir senso of! justice cannot fttil to condemn it; it lowers thoir standard of morality and helps to debauch, instead of purifying public opinion. It also breeds discon tent on the part of thoso who are edu cated, or altomptod to bo oducalod, to something abovo that for which thoy aro Sited. It really disqualifies them for thoso duties and labors to which alone thoy are by nature adapted, so that not only great injustice but groat demoralization is tbo result of a sys torn which collects money by force from one man to cducato tho children of another man for callings which thoy can novor fill. Tho argument some times advanced that this system is a benefit to the poor, is an utter fallacy. Tbe children of tho poor man general ly leavo tho schools with a common school education and go to work for thomselves or their parents- Yet whilo tho poor man's children aro thus at work his littlo home is taxed to give to the children of olhors a collcgiato education. Nine in ten of thoso edu cated In the so called high schools at tho public expense would fur better pay their own bills than to havo thorn paid by tho people of tho State. Thoso views aro so manilestly just that I havo ho doubt they will ultimately prevail. Indeed thcro seoms to havo been already a cessation of efforts to establish high school, academies, and colleges, and support thorn by taxa tion. So fur as I can learn, the Nor mal schools established in various parts of tho Stato aro, wilh two or throe cxcoption3, wholly uoIors, and fail almost entirely lo accomplish the objocts for which they woro establish ed, and for which the Sttito is annual ly paying large amounts of money from tho Treasury. I recommend an inquiry into the workings of thoso in stitutions, and a discontinuance of all thoso which fail to accomplish tho pur poses of their ontaljliBnient." - - amtia isread fqr a stose. 11. B. Hayes, John Sherman, Carl Schurz, and othec idle misroprescnta- tivos of labor, aro hilarious over what they regard as indications of returning good and prosperous times. They oc casionally visit tho office of thoir Wall Htreot mnstorn, and whilo crossing tho Jersey City ferry, never fail to soo tho Cunard, Anchor, Red Star and Bremen lines of stonmors loading lo the extent of their capacity with American bread stuffs. Down the Hudson come fleets of a hundred canal boats, in a singlo tow, laden with wheat corn and flour from thu Misxissippi volley, which koep constantly employed a vast number ot floating elevators transferring thoso farm products Into the ocean steamer for foreign consumption. Theso offi cial numskulls visit the custom house, call for the international trade balance shoots, and discover that our exports oxcood our imports by sovoral millions of dollars each month. They brighten up, doclaro that times aro improving, hurrah for resumption, and return to feast and fatten on their largo salaries and intorost incomes. Do thoy over ro fleet that tbe oxooss ol bouIs oxportod across tho dark river, over the birth 1m ports of tho scourge stricken south during the past season was as fair an in dication of the glorious sanitary con dition of that locality, as is this excess oi exports ovor imports nn Indication of returning business prosperity t What do wo reccivo in return for tho millions of bushels of grain daily ship ped to hurope? Not an exchange of produco, which constitutes tho only safe and healthy commerce between two nations. For, look ; a steamer has just floated to her docks. 1 in mediately a score of bargos line har sides to receive her cargo. What is it f Gravol! Dirt I Pohblo Stones I And such useless debris as England can spare without loss. W hat, thon, do wo receive as an equivalent lor our bread ? Not money, even ; for England nev er trades with a people to whom sbo is obliged to pay her balanco in money. For the immense surplus we are ex porting wo rocuivo noithor money nor products, but simply a receipt crediting as with so much paid on account, England purchases our products wilh our own debta and tho interest accruing on them. . Our national, municipal and railroad bonds held abroad aro sent to New York for salo or collection, and against tho proceeds, drafts aro drawn in pay ment for tho excess of our products. We have anoxcoss becau so starving millions aro unable to purchoso thoir daily rations, Wo havo a doublo ei- ccas becaueo prices are so very low that farmers aro obliged to raise two bushels to pay the samoamountof taxes that ono bushel would a few yours since. Tho excess of Ireland's exports ovor hor Import" has been large for the last fivo hundred years, and tbe result is povorty, degradation, vassalago and and dcmoruliialion to her people Her oxcess wont to pay rout to absent land owners nt the rats of 11.C3 per head por annum of hor population. Our excess goes to pay Intercut to absent bondholders at lbs rate of 13 60 per head or oar population. Ireland showed the namo Indications of pros perity that wo do when fumishod and half clad men, alter a hard day's labor load in it into shipa to be transported! across the channel the vory wheal that their owu tuil and enorgies had raised, return to their cheerless cabin at night to close tbo eyes of wile and baby, and to covor with a borrowed sod the rigid skuluton limbs which poverty had de nied a garment. The landlord nuhobs of England, who roceivod these vast exports.which starved and impoverished Ireland, like tho present bond-holding nabobs ofj Wall street and the Capital, clappod tbuir hands in glee that a pound of runt would command so many bushels of corn, and ulthough fumino, disease, death and demoralization stalked abroad at noonday, to them tho sun of prosperity novor shone so bright The exportation of raw material has ruined and desolated Ireland and India, and is to-day sapping llio life and lib erty of tli o American republic. Tbe raw material of every country should bn consumed by its own labor ers, mochanics, manufacturers and artisans, in order to insure permanent and general prosperity. These things show the tolly cf intrusting impracti cable men in official positions- In a republic llio yoemanry should rulo. No man who is not engaged in somo prac tical productive enterprise, who is not wilh and of ihe people, should over bo trusted wilh making or administering their laws. Tcrre Jtuulelntl.)Exjreii, BADLY OFF FOR CHARGES Tho New York World observos that Senator Blaine appears as badly off for "charges" as ho was for Republican members for his investigating commit tco. The committee has not been able to find out exactly what it was to in vestigate ; it is not to bo blamed on this account, for no very apparent frauds woro committed in the South although in Massachusetts voters were abridged of tho right of Buffrnge by bribery and intimidation. But as long as tho Republican members of tho committoo can mako any political cap ital outof tho alleged Southern oleclion frauds, they will endeavor to avoid any inquiry into tbo New England bull dozing of voters. However, tho com mitteo applied to Senator Blaino for information, and thut gentleman an- swerod tbo committoo in u curious let ter. Which letter Senator Blaino bo- gins, snys tbo II orld, liko the noedy knife grinder of tho anti-Jacobin, "Story ; God bless you, I have none to toll, sir." Ho doesn't, howevor, exactly say that. Ho says that it would bo "presumption" in him to toll tho story when tho Senator has wisely left bo much to the imagination. Having cleared his throat and clogged his con science with his prefatory observation. ho goes on to tell all tbe story ho knows. Wo almost suspect, if wo may say so without "presumption," that ho tells more ihun he knows. After hav ing entirely unbosomed himself, ho bints that ho could reveal still darker horrors (the horrors ho does reveal be ing of very light neutral tints) if ho was not obliged to tako the train for Now England in order to cut his New Year's dinner at homo. The Senator's position ia iberafora tliia tbat ha will tell nothing, that ho will tell all ho knows, and that he would toll more if bo had moro time. All of this simply means that Mr. Blaino has concluded that it would have boon money in his pocket not to have offerod the resolu tion. That is a vory sensible con clusion. It is a pity for him that ho didn't begin at tho end. FEDERAL PLUNDER. The Washington Pott says thai Rep. resenlalivo Glovor, who has been so industriously investigating the Treas ury Department for several years past, maintains that tho Bureau of Engrav ing and Printing is an extravagant and useless concern, and ho is in favor of curtailing its powor to waste public nionoy, by reducing tho appropriations for tho Bureau. In a rocent lottor to Chairman Atkins, of tho nouse Com- miteo on Appropriations, Mr. Glovor charged tho Bureau with waste and extravagance. Tho Chief of the Bu rcati published a statomont denying tbo charges, and this has brought forth a second letter from Mr. Glover, which was sent to Mr. Atkins, and is as fol lows : Hon. John D. C.

It is tho acrvilo prerogative of Snob bery lo ascribe to royalty and blue. blood, an excess ot thoso habits and manners, which tho weaker creatures the Snobs, so assiduously strive to emulalo and only render grosser by reason of caricature. Within tho Ba- crod Code that circumscribes a Prince or Princosa royal, thoso plgmios would havo os beliove there exists a different order of things, ontirely distinct and aloof from the common run of life. Thoy would teach us that royalty sub sists upon meats and viands that, were the hord lo partako of, would potrify them by reason of high aacrilcgo. Thoy breathe not even tbe nam air tbat we do, and aro encompassed with all the paraphernalia and trappings of grand-1 ear and lofty form. There are no lengths to which the euphemistic croak- lugs of their transmogrified irogs, would not carry oa. But alaa I for tbe frailty ot human wsakneew, their fond Imaginings have no real exisiinue, save in the lund of gauzo and thin air. Of this fact we are constantly receiv ing ample and conclusive prools. Tbe lito and unostentatious habits ot good Queen Vicloria might be quoted as rel evant ovidenco, whilo tbe rocent visit ol Dom Pedro, Kmperor of Brazil, to our shores and his quiot and nnobtrusivo manners did much to remove tho illu sions noted, from the minds of many 'American snobs who sighed "to fail at his feet In nn abject species of adora tion. . With tho announcement that tho Marquis of Lorno and his royal lady, tho Princess Louise, would wield tho sceptro over tho land of the Canuck came another flutter amonir tho Snobs. Thoy made all prcparaliona to over whelm tbo worthy couplo with all man nur of obtrusive attentions. In fact it was a ready-made Golden C'ai.f, and tbey mado all duo haste witb thoir proffers of adulation and vulgar fealty. The CunadianSnob, vied with.his Ame rican brother in his lavish offers, and the poor creatures found delight and happinoss in their zest. But thcro Cbine a crave disappointment. To the infinite stupefaction ol all, it was dis. covered that tbo Princess Louise, not only dressed, but conducted herself like an ordinury woman I Moro than this, sho has acted toward all without the slightest ostentation, and by hor modest womanly manners, has won the heartfelt admiration of every sensible man and woman in the Dominion. Dai- ly attired in a neat quiot costumo, and wearing broad-soled and low-heeled walking boots ot a substantial pattern, and easy fit, sbo has walked the streets and roads to the extent of eight to ton miles in quest of healthful oxcrciso. Heto is an cxamplo fur her Amorican sisters and worthy of their full endorse ment and imitation. There is no ex crciso more conducive to strength, healthfulnoss and beauty than walking. How many ot our women who to-day are but puny and pitiful caricatures of the Venus of Milo, could in a few monlha by indulgenco in this l'reo ex ercise, round their forms in to pleasing lines and grateful proportions. This step upon the part of the Princess Louise, is ono that will endear hor to all lovers of good health, and tho in fluence of her example cannot bo too strongly impressed upon her untitled sistcrB everywhere. , A RADICAL MOGUL. An exchange Blainos it in this way: "Thore is a consistency in the political carcor f tho Muino statesman which all must recognize Whon tho war of the rebellion broke out and whon the enthusiastic and generous youth of tbo country who boliovod in tbe jus tice ot their cause rushed lo tho front, Blaine hastened off to Washington to secure a profitable gun contract from the War Department. He proforrcd to let others shoot while ho indulged in long rango logomachy and enjoyed tho profits ot his conlraot. This trans action ia the key to the character and carocr of the man. More than thir taan yaare after tha vr aa audod ba issues his sectional indictment against the southern people, and when requir ed to assume tba responsibility of chairman of tho committeo raised un der his resolutions he ovados it. He shifts upon others tho burdens of tho labor which he croatoa. After numer ous Republican Senators declined tho chairmanship upon Blaine's refusal to porform his duty it droppod down to Teller, of Colorado, a new and inexpe rienced Senator, who was extremely proud of tho distinction. A represent ative of tho newest rotten borough creation of tho wost is made chairman of a committoo to prosocuto a reckless partisan indictment against the oldest Statoa in the Union. Blaine's rofusal of llio chairmanship of tho commitlee and its acceptance by Tellor are suffi cient indications of what will be the result ol tho investigation. Wore any personal glory or political capital to be gained from such an investigation, Blaine would have been only too oagor to accept the ohairmansbip and ap propriate all to himself. When ho dis covered that nolbing was to be achiev ed in auch a position, it was shitted upon Teller. Europe out or Joint. An instruc tive lottor appears in the New York Journal of Commerce, on the commer cial affairs ol Europe, from a prominent Now York dry goods merchant. The lottor is dated at Florence, Italy. Af ter wido observation and careful study, tbe conclusion is reached tbat, wilh the singlo exception of France, thiscounry is far bettor off than any of tho coun tries oi Europe. All Europe, France again excepted, Is declared to be out of joint. In reference to France tbe writer is enthusiastic He aays "France is the most Industrious, most economical and richest nation on the lace of tho earth. I have seen thorn in their homos, and every man, woman and child works. The whole country is a garden of marvelous fertility. Hor productions are enormous, and her peo ple roalize more lor their stuff than any othor nation." Aa to England, he is of the opinion that hor trade Is in a most desperate condition. Manufac turers have been living on past accu mulations. In conclusion, the opinion is expressed that American cotton goods will continue to receive increas ing preference ;in China.
