A palace has been partly unearthed

such as seem to exist in Mexico.

Richard Grant White, in the JVbrth
American AVnVtcsays, that the popular
education system has broken down,
lie says that it does not tend to pro
duce good and usefull citizens that "in
stead of lifting the masses, it bag giver
ns in their place a nondescript and hy
brid clas, unfit for professional or mer
cantile life, unwilling and unable to be
farmers and artisans, so that gradually
cur skilled work is being done by im
migrant foreigners, while our native
citizens, who would otherwise fill this
respectable and comfortable position in
society, seek to make their living by
their wits honestly if they can; if not,
wore or less dishonestly, or failing this
by petty office seeking To which
pnint the Philadelphia JVorth American
addresses itself as follows. "These are
grave charges, and while we believe
them to be exaggerated, they are un
fortunately, not without foundation.
Beyond any doubt the tendency of the
education given at tbe public schools
is to bring manuel labor into cocteujpt.
The boys who attend them acquire, in
the majority of cases, an idea that they
re fit for better thrgs than to make
their living by the work of their hands.
They M ant to be professional men,
or failing iu that, to nmke their living
iu sums easy, genteel way which will
admit af white hiuds and fashionable
clothing. They leave school with the
impression that it is a better thing to be
employed as a clerk in a store or as a
book-keeper in an office than to be a
mechanic or an artizan, and they do
D-t discover the fatal mistake they are
making until It rectification is imposs
ible. This would not be tbe case if the ed
ucation given at the public sohoolj were
of a more practical nature, but most of
tbe teachings which be receive has
nothing whatever to fit the pupil for the
duties of after life. It is true that he
quires a great variety of miscellaneous
information, ha. the practical value of
his superficial knowledge amounts to
nothing at all. It is jast enough to give
a distaste for those occupations in which
be might engage with most advautage
to himself and benefit to tbe community.
Tbe evil is a Very serious one, and
it urgently demands a remedy. Mr.
White suggests that no other eJuoation
should be given at tbe publio eost save
that which is strictly elementary, such
a reading, writing, spelling and the
comman rules of practical arithmetic,
and that instead of spending time and
money in giving boys and girls a worse
than useless smattering of what are
called the higher branches, they should
be given such instruction as will enable
them to make their living in a useful
and honorable way. There is much to
be said in favor of this proposition. In
duMrial schools where boys can be
taught a trade are tbe necessity of the
times, and we believe that if the money
which is now spent in teaching ologies
and osophies were devoted to tbe es
tablishment and maintenance of such
institutions, it would be better in every
way. If we can bfford to do both, well
and good ; but as between tbe two, tbe
practical education which makes the
boy of some use in the world is greatly
to be preferred."

The Indigestion of President Elect Gar
field It Takes a Wise .Man to Dine
Riqht The Christiancy Divorce
General Grant The Tew path Boys
People Act Through Their Lyes
Philadelphia's .Share of the Grant
Fund Congress.
From our Regular Correspondent.
Washixoto, D. C, Dec. 4, 1880.
When the telegraph informed the
people of this city, on Thursday, that
President-elect Garfield had reached
his home as a sufferer from indiges
tion there was a visible manifestation
of uneasiness. He is of temperate
habits, and as far as the public knows
has not heretofore been a sufferer
from that cause. I do not share the
apprehension of some people, that
perhaps something was put in his
food that should not have been put in.
The General is discreet, but I greatly
suspect that he has not learned to
dine ns wisely .as he learned to do
many other things. It takes a wise
man to dine wisely, so that his diges
tion is always in trim. Those who
profess to knuw maintain that to dine
well does not ineun to eat all that is
tn a table, but that it consists in the
ability to sit at table an hour or two
at a time and so g.uge one's self that
ail the courses may I e gone through
with, and still be ablt to arise Irom
the table without an unpleasant sense
of fullness. The man or the woman
who can do that, mav accept all and
every invitation to dinner, and fetill be
able to lau?h at indigestion and ill
health. A stalwart Republican says
that it is no wonder that the Gen
erals digestion is somewhat disor
dered, for to swallow the whole Dem
ocratic party was quite enough to dis-;
turb the digestion of several pre.-d-dents.
The Deuiociavy have been
pretty well swallowed before, but it is
clean gone n)w, and Garfield will be
able to digest it thoroughly. I
This week there has been diligent
work done to find out the
Mouet Letter Fohoer.
The prospects of getting to the in
side history of the whole transaction,
as to who stood back of it all, is
brightening, and when the testimony
is all in, the country will more than
ever be ready to pronounce more em
phatically against the Democracy.
The CnitisTiASCT Divorce Cafe
has interested a number of people
the past week, and the old Senator
has failed in his cross suit against his
wifa There is enough in it to make
a chapter with a mond, but so there
is in every community of the same
kind Let every community moral
ize for itself.
General Grant
is expected here some time about the
middle of the month, and he will re
ceive an ovation such as is becoiuiiig
the occasion. The stalwart Tow-
Path Club are rejoiced hfjcuj all
others, that they 5i22 have an oppor
tunity to participate in the demon
strations, for of ad other Republi
cans they were the most ridiculed by
the defunct Democracy. John Cess
na, the Chairman of the State Com
mittee of your State was ridiculed
when he advised that Republicans
should use pictures in the campaign,
'for," said he. " people vote through
their eyes." He said, 'Print a canal
loat, with a driver, and tell the peo
ple that Garfield was a 'tow-path
boy.' " Ce.i-sria is a wise man ; he
realizes what is a fact in the every
day life of people. The only time
that people did not act through their
eyes was in the early days of the
Christian church. Then they were
not allowed to have pictures, nor
statuary, and when they got the
power they tore down all the magni
ficent Pagan temples and churches,
and destroyed the paintings and stat
uary. But when the Catholic chris
tians got the upper hand, they re
stored the pictures and statuary, and
now, to-day, all of the christian de
nominations are fond of such things,
excepting the English and German
Quakers. In this day and genera
tion peophp are more governed by
their eyes than ever before. There
is more attention paid to dress, more
attention to house decoration, more
attention paid to the building of
stylish houses, private and public,
than ever before iu the history of
christian people, and it is in manv
cases done at the sacrifice of many
oiner coimoris, ana all to please
the eye, and that's why Cessna
was right; he was simply giving
expression to a fact that is clear
to ad thinking people. The laugh
now is on those who were so stupid
as not to see me propriety of Cess
na's political order. The " Tow
Path Boys" will be compensated by
the demonstrations that will take
pure this month and next March.
and the Chairman's observation that
people act for and through their eves
will be more fully demonstrated to
the public" generally th tn if the atten
tion of people had not been drawn
to it by Cessna.
Philadelphia 'a Share of the Grast
Fusd
is the topic of conversation. That
tbe one hundred thousand dollars of
volnntary contribution that has been
raised in the Quaker city has shut
the mouths of such as declared that
Grant hod to fllo .ving except fxoia
the office-seeking people. The men
who raised the nion.'y are not the
people who are scrambling for office.
It would b bettor for all concerned
if they could be induced to give more
attention to political affairs than they
do. The LLfe-Seuatorship has few
friends, but the election of Grant
as United States Senator from one or
other of the States is not received
unkindly here. What the members
of the Legislatures of New York,
Pennsylvania, Ohio or Illinois may
say of it, time will develope. If auy
of the States should elect General
Grant United States Senator he
doubtless would accept, but that he
is & candidate for such position is not
demonstrated
Congress
will meet on Mondav. A number of
Congressmen we alieadv here. The
President's views on Civil Service
are looked for with no little curios
ity. The average Congressman is
more jealous of his patronage than
the States used to be under Demo
cratic rule of State rights. The ef
forts of the President in the tiret
davs of his administration to place
the office-holder beyond the reach of
the Congressman, and the United
States Senator in their respective dis
tricts, were abandoned, and now it is
expected that the President will en
large more fully on the question of
Civil Service in the coming message
to Congress. Perliaps the President
may not discuss it as fully as many

Just published, a new edition of
Dr. Culverwell's Celebrated Essay
on the radical cure (without medi
cine) of Sermatorrhea or Seminal weak
ness, Involuntary Seminal Losses, Inipo
tency, Mental and Physical Incapacity, Im
pediments to Marriage, etc. ; also, Con
sumption, Epilepsy and Fits, induced by
self-indulgence or sexual extravagance, .
The celebrated author, in this admirable
Essay, clearly demonstrates, from a thirty
years' successf ul practice, that the alarm
ing consequences of self-abuse may be rad
ically cured without the dangerous use of
internal medicine or the application of the
knife; pointing out a mode of cure at once
simple, certain, and effectual, by means of
which every sufferer, no matter what hia
condition may be, may cure himself cheap
ly, privately, and radically.
