Tho Commissioners aro moking more lightning ; their intention isto atriko ofton, striko quick, and strike hard. Evorybody will remember the prosecution of Oharles A. Dana for libel, soveral years ago, bat ovorybody does not know that part of the coua- gol-foos woro pald by the District of Columbis Govornmont. Such i8 the fact. e —— Suicido is an Inandequato compensntion for doraliction of duty, yet it was in this manner that the Firat Mato of the L'Amerique chose to atono for his blundors. If eelf-immolation ehoutd bocamo tho ordinary punichment for oficinl misconduct, America would be doprived of somo of its most distinguished statesmoa, At this Iate day Congrossmau Starkweather, of Connectient, hus apponred boforo tho Committeo jnvestigating District of Columbin sffairs and aaltad that Lis character bo torn up aud inepect- od. Hohas beon borne away on tho flood-tide of calumny long enough, and now proposes to face it down. S — Grent minds sook the same clinnnel. Prof. Patton, when he ndicted Bwing for supposing that Socrates could bo outside of hell, was uncon- aciously copying from Hoeine, who says : ‘Hell appeared o mo like n great town-kitchon with an ondlessly long Btove, on whick woro placed threo .‘rows of {ron pots, and in thosowat tho dsmnod and wero cooked. . . . In tho fthird row ent tbo Xieatlien, who, lilio tho Jews, could tako no part fu eals vatlon, oud must burn forover, I hieard ono of tho Iatter, ua s Bquaro-buflt, burly devil put freeh couls under bis kottle, cry out from his pot: * Sparo mo 1 was onco Socrates, {he wisest of mortals, I taught Treuth aud Justice, and sucrificed my lifo for Virtuc,” But tho clumay, stupid dovil wont on with &is work and grumbled, #Ob, sbut up thoro! ALl heatlien ‘must bura, and wo can't wake an oxcoption for tho sako of a singlo man, The dust raiged by Westorn Legislatures in rogulating the railroads has obscured acts of & pimilar naturo affecting other corporations. Some 1uight into the practicsl working of stringent insurance laws {8 furnisbed by the proceedings of the National Board of Firo Un- dorwritors, in session yestordey at Now Yorl. It mooms that tho Wisconsin low is es- pecially obnoxious to tho Underwritors,. and tho mombers of tho DBoard aro anxious to securo its modification, or, failing this, to take action that will bring the people of that State to terms. Insurance companios are not 8o entirely at tho morcy of Legislatures ag tho railroads. Thoy can, if it sooms to them desirablo, rofuse to do business in any Stato that yiclds slow or inconsidorablo profits. If pushed too hard, tho roputsblo insurance companies will withdraw their agencios from Wisconsin, Mr. Carpenter is again becoming conspicuous on the floor of the Scuste. Having sceured o ¢ vindication ” of his charactor by being elocted prosiding ofticer, ho scomed for o time to be contont with that meagre claim to honor and respogt. Rocontly, howover, ho lns bogun to tako an active part in the prococdings, and to dopend upon tiio courtesy of fellow-members for filling the merely orntnental place in tho chair, e rovived tho Loufalana discusston, and introduced tho rosolutions favoring Cu- ban indepondence; end yestorday Lo Atood alono in opposition to the bill grant- ing certein tracts of land in Minnesota to tho Monnonites. Mr, Carppnter raised tho point, which soome not to have ocourred to any othor momber of tho Senate, that, incnse tho wants of tho Mennonites wore satlsfied, thera would bo 10 justice in rofusing a similar domand for lands by = body of Irish Catholics or Fronch Com- munists, Whother the objection is well tsken or not, it ia to tho credit of Mr. Carpenter that o had the noutonoss to point out the dangor of eatablishing a wrong procedont. .

It f ot o fortmght sinco Mr. Butler assured tho ITouso of Ropresentatives that tho Prosldent would approve the Senato Ourroncy bill. Il wag rebuked by Sponkor Blalho for gross dlsra~ gaxd of parlinmontary usngo. Tho fact s that ho violated tho canons of veracity; and hio has just beon found out. Porbnps it was o privato intimation of tho Presidont's intoution that lnr- 1lod Mr. Butlor away to Masenchusotts, Ilo could have faced out tho report of tho Waya sad Monng Committoo on the Bunborn caso, but & Vlow to’ lis roputation—his proclous roputation —na o confldontial friond of Proaldent Grant had to bo suffored in the golitudo of tho Essox Dis- trict. Liko n wounded jackal, ho ran sway to avold being dovoured by his companions, e Gov. Buxter, of Arkangns, hos abandoned all hopo of turning Brooks ont of tho Excoutive oftice by forco of arms, and has docidod to sum- mon an oxtra session of the Legislature, Ho lins Informed the President by telograph of his decision, snd hns asked protection for thoso mombers of the Tegislaturo who come to Littla Rock. The Prosidont is roquested to nccopt tho verdict ronderod by the Logielature as flual, and to enforce it, if nocossary, by tho uso of United Statos soldiers. Tho Prosidont’s roply s smbiguous. While hio approves of Gov. Baxtor's purpose, ho simply promises to do what, undor the Constitution and Iaws, Lo cau da to aseist tho doposed Govarnor, Bince tho Constitution and ¢ho laws havo of lata beou tortured into mauy strange shapes, the Prosident’s langungo may moan somothing or mnothing. Talk about the Constitu- tion and tho laws gives but cold com- fort to Baxtor. Whnt ho is nnxious to know is what tho Constitution and Iaws will bo con- strued to moan when the Arkausns cage comes up for final sottlement at Washington, Gov. Y Baxtor is at lonst conalstont in appoaling to tho Logielaturo instond of the Courts. He hunaall along claimed that tho matter ln disputo was without the jurisdiction of the Buprome Court, andho has once been sustainod by tho Court in taking this position, —ee Robert Collyer's opinion of the Swing-Patton coutroversy and the part ho has been minde to ‘bonar in it will bo fownd fn another column. Thero is no difficulty in undorstanding what Mr. Collyor moans to sny. In Lehelf of limsel? and tho Rov. Robert Laird Collior, ho rosonts the summoning of Unitarian ministors, whoso prae- tico 1t has been to keop clont of ecclesinstical inquisitions, as witnceses to conviet David Bwing, a man whom thoy love, of tronchory and hypocriey. Doth ministors, Mr. Collyor says, will treat the summous with scorn and con- tempt. For his own part, be rogards the placing of hls namo in the list of witnessos as tho grossest fosult he has rocoived during bis rosidence in Chicago. Ho has never hoon an adopt in “mousing out Lorasg,” and does not wish fnstruction in thatart. Thore i8 algo in the lotter o sevore robuke to the whole Prosbytorian Church. Mr. Collyer protests rather too much. As yot, no groat damago has been done to e reputation. He may be sure that his presonce a8 a wituoss at Prof. Swing's trial would bo as unwelcome to & great majority of tho Presbytery as it would bo distressiug to himeolt. But tho unduo warmth of his languago docs mot affect tho strongth of the position which ho has assumed. Ho hae o right- to com- plain of the mannerin which ko has been dragged into s purely donominationnl controversy, and eapeclally sinco he is made to appear as an ally of tho party whoso principles ho cordially deteats. —es THE PRESIDENT'S VETO, President Grant {8 entitled to high commop- dation for his veto of tho Senate Currency bill. While this bill, owing to the awkwardness and ignorauca of the inflationists who propared and ‘passod it, eame far short of their intoutions, and was not in iteclf o partieularly bad mensure, it contained an clement of the gravost futuro mis- chiof, sinco it afirmed tho right of Congress to issuo frredoomablo paper in time of pasco aud mako it legal-tonder, without providing in any way for its redemption. Tho affirmanco of this right as to 844,000,000 would have beon all the oxcuso wanted to suthorize the issuo of any other sum hereaftor. 'The bill was the firat stop on n down-hill couree, at the bottom of which lies bankruptcy, national dishonor, and poks pible revolution. Tho Prosident is ontitled to the thouks of tho country, and he shall re- coivo ours, oven if Lo has to forogo thoso of plorton, Logan, Cameron, sud tho Chicago Inter-Ocean. Thoso bright and shining lights in tho financial firmamont, if they aronot utterly struck dumb by tho voto, will probably say that the Presidont led them on to what they have dong by sactually issuing two-thirds of tbe ©44,000,000 in advance of their bill suthorlzing it. 'Tho publie, however, will caro little for their ronsoms, or anybody's roseons, €0 Jong a8 the moasure i8 killed. Probe- bly both sides can convict each other of inconsistency ; but the kernel and gist of the Prosidont’'s mossago, which declaros that, “If in praotice tho measuro suould fall to create the sbundancs of clroulation expected of it, tho frionds of tho mensnro, purtioularly thoso out of Congross, would clamor for such inflation 6 would give tho expected ollat,” will ovortop and obscuro every othor coneideration, If there i to boa battlo over tho veto it willbe fought on this issue, and not on the past record of any of tho combatants. The vato fell like o thunderclap on the infla- tlonists in the Sonate, Morton and Logan wore especially chopfallen. Thoy had looked confl doutly for tho casy triumph of thelr principles, or want of principles; and thoy wera terribly whipped, Tho worst of it all was that they wero humbled - in tho louse of thoir frionds, It was Drutus ordoring his sous to oxeoution, and none of the inflationists liad an artistio songo that would allow of their taking in the grandour of the sftuation. Thay simply folt moan aud afrald, Morton rogarded tho veto in o sontimental point of view. Ie still placed entiro confidenco in tho Prosidont, but the mesango was *siraugo, very strango;" to lim it was incomprehonsiblo, Logan wad not 80 muoh within bounds, e ronred with a rosr that oxprossed angor as well as dismay. Ie askod no favar, and would glvo nono, Forry, of Mlichigsn, the third dlstinguishod Sonatorial inflationiat, was simply dazed, As for tho hard- monoy men, they confossed to being unpropsred for the Proaldent's deoision, but bore their sue- cosd quiotly aud with becomlng modoaty. It i alroady predicted that tho veto will load to disruption of the Republioan party, Much will dopond upon the coutus pursued by the ine flatlon Sonntors noxt Tuesday, when tho bIN comos up for reconsidoration, Without under- taking to afMirm in advanco whnt they willdo, it 15 nfo to nssumo that onch will do whnt hio con- sldors most for his own individusl advantago, rogardloss of party considorations, Sauve qui peut will bo thotr only rallylng.ary, Mosnwhile, wo ropoat that tho Prosident is ontitled to, ond will rocolvo, tho thanla of ail reflooting porsons, Taat and West, North and South. FROF, PATTON'S AMENDED INDICTMENT. Prat. Patton, boving amouded his indiotment ngoinat Prot. Bwing, onco moro roburns to the confliot, and on tuis indictment, which Prof. Patton may possibly undorstand, the trisl will commonce two woeks honce, What liuo of do- fouse Prot, Swing may adopt, it ia not within tho limits ovon of conjocture, to say. Whilo Prof. Pntton has beon as vociferous as guinea-hen, Prof, Swing Lins boon silont as sn oystor. Porbaps, like Dr. Pattorson, Dr. Swazoy, nnd othor vonerablo authorities in Prosbytorian doctrine, hio hns boon trying to underatand Pat- ton's version of tho croed, Perhiaps Lo hag boen struck dumb with astonishmont that it was resorvod for this young man to discover tha heresy which had escapod tho notico of the fathors of tho Church, who have oxpounded the creed in this city over a quartor of o gontury, and woro preaching their falth in Prosbyterian pulpits when Prof. Latton was in his swaddling-clothes, Ono of tho principal allogations which Prof. Patton makes against Prof. Swing, and which loads him to the conviction that Prof. Bwing is o horotlo, {8 that of ambiguity in tho cnunciation of doctrinal points, and thls allogation 18 of 8o much consequonco that ho ropents it soveral timos. Evon nesuming tbat this may bo truo, and that Prof. Swing Is obsoure in his statemont of tho cardinal ‘points of Prosbytorianism snd tho dotails of the Coufossion of Faith, whorein 18 Prof. Patton onny more fortunato? "In tho first instanco, Lo drow up an indictmont which was so dofective, so theologic- ally illogal, and 8o obsouro, that tho Prosbytery would not accept It, orallow bim to prosecuto Prof, Swing upon it. Now that ho Liaa amended it, and substituted spocific declarations for gon- oralitios, and citod chapter, and vorso, aud pas- sngo whoreln Prof. Swing bas shown himsolf liotorodors, is Lo any less obscuro or ambiguous in his enunciations of what is not Prosbyterian doctrine than Prof. Bwing has been, aceording to Prof. Patton, in his enunciation of what 4s Presbyterian dootrine? Ts there auy momber of tho Prosbytory, Prof. Patton excepted, who can riso in bis placo and doliborately assort that ho understands tho drift and force of these wordy speolfications, and that he can voto lntolligently upon Prof, Swing's guilt or innocenco? Doos Prof. Patton himeolf undorstand what he is talking about ? These aro entiraly portinent questions, and they concorn the Presbytery much moro thanap- ponrs upon tho surface. Those of our readers who hovo hiad tho time and the patience, at this season of house-cleaning, to wado through these specifications, must havo observed that tho vory Lead and front, tho Alpha and Omoge, of them, i8 Unitarianiam, whatever that may be. Unita- rinnism i8 Prof. Patton's belanoir. Howovor far Prof, Patton may wandor awsy In scoking to framo & specification, be inevitably returus to Unitarianfum. Like tho composer, Le modulates into many koys, but he always closes his move- mont in tho original koy. His (Prof. Swing's) roforences to doctrine “admit onsily of con- struction in accordance with tho theology of the Unitarian donomiuation.” * Lending Unitarian ministors, to-wit: tho Rov, R. Laird Collier and the Rov. Minot J. Savage, have aftirmed that his pronching s substantially Unitarion.” He was advortised to Jecturo, and did lscture, in nid of o Unitarian Chapol, Ho has writton articles toshow that Robort Collyer and Robert Pattorson proach substantially tho same Gospel. Ho has declared to tho Rov. Robert Lawd Collier ** that he agraed with him (Collier) in lus theological views.” And 40 on, through specification aftor specification, Thoy ol binge upon tuis dreadful fact of Uni- tarianism. It crops out in allusious to doctrine and to versons, Ho cannot eliudo to tho Into Mary Prico Collior, Jobn Stuart Mill, Mozast; Tonolopo snd Bocrates, Cathermo of Russia, Viotor Cousin, Guizot, Voltsire, Daine, or Froude, without immediately enveloping them in this cloud of Unitarianiam, as the outtle-fish darkons tho water with ita inky fluid, and then wocks to galn advantsgo of its opponont by rotiring into its obscurity. So all-porvading is this shibboloth of Unitarianiem in Prof. Pat- ton's apecifications, and so essential is it to his prosecution, that ho obstinatoly insleted upon laving the testimony of the Rov. Robert Luird Collier, cither orally or by deposition, bofore the trinl commonced, notwithatanding the exprossed wish of tho Prewbtory that tho trial shoanld commonce at onco. And yot, notwithstanding ‘the fact that Unitariniem is the essenco of the Tioresy Prof. Patton chargas, 1n 1o partof thoro spocifleations does he inform us what Tnilarian- 4sm 18, or, in othor words, of what offenso Frof, Swing is guilly. It will not do for Prof. Pot- ton to prove a nogativa in tho forthcoming trial, It will not do for him to prove that Prof. Bwing omits certaln polnts of doctrine, o that Lo doos not preach Presbytori- anism, If hodoos not preach Prosbyterianism, ho ‘must prove what o does proach, and, bofore lio con provo that Lo proaches Unitarlanlsm, ho must be prapared to show what Unitarianism Is. Prof. Patton says, In his Arat epocification, that Prof. Bwing's doctrines aro vague and ambigu- ous, snd, thoreforo, oasily admit of s construc~ tion in accordance with the * Unitariun theol- ogy." Itis, thoroforo, incumbont upon him t> ghow what this theology is, aud to mnko it clear that Drof. Bwing is prenching this thoology. Wo vonture to sny that ho can no moro define Unitarlanism than ho can dofino Babolllanism, OIVIL-BERVIOE REFORM, Many causes dombiued to kill the attempted yofort of tho Oivil Borvico. The maxim, “T'o tho victors bolong the spoils,” lLias boon incor- porated in overy American political crood since tho time of Androw Jackeon. It could not be displacad in n day. ‘The ofiico-holdera were dead aganet tho roform. Congressmen regented it as an intorforence with thowr blossed priviloge of Playing political hendsmon in thelr own dis- triots, 'Phe Execoutive, by his transparont sham of supporting tho measure with words while ho ropudiated it by doeds, brought it Into contompt. Porhapa tho ohief causo of tho popular apathy on such an important subject ia the groat oumbrous- ness of tho machinory devisod to oarry the reform into effeot, Promotlon by examination la a slow and costly procoes, which gives an op- portanity for any qusntity of <heap wit about questionlng o would-bo capying-clerk on logarithms snd & would-be door-tendor on Graolsn hiatory, Desplte the dlsadvantagos, howovor, of examinatious, 1o better wiay of solooling tho bost applicants for tho lowest clerkabips can bo dovisod, In thohigher grades tho systom onn bo vory much simplificd. Tho following plan might, porhps, work well: Organizo our standing army of clvil sorvants, a8 we do our soldlery. Lot every clerk belong to o cortain geado, a8 ovory officor does to o cortaln rank. Havo mombors of tho samo grado rank cench other by sonlority of sorvico, Just ns oficorn do. ‘Then, whon thoro is & vacanoy, promoto evorybody ono stop. In most onsos tho promo- tlon would bo but nominal, 1t would not chango tho dutios of No. 5000, 2d grade, to bocomo No, 4090 ditto, But No. 1 of that grado would becomo a niembor of tho grade above, Ilis worl would bo changed, Ho would bo amply propared for his now dutios, howover, for ho would have studiod into thom whilo lio wag nearing tho hend of hia old grado, Tho certalnty of promotion In cnso of a vacanoy would make it worth his while to tako this troublo, sinco Incompotenco would ro- sult in bis spoedy romoval from tho place it hind takon Lim years to gain.

Ta it not bost to manngo thom in much the samo way that has proved 8o succossful with armios of soldiors ? HOW TO CONFUSE A JURY. The objocts of the statuto of Illinois roquir- ing the chargo of tho Judgo toa jury tobo in writing woro probably two-fold: First, to pro- vont the Judgo from influencing tho vordict of tho jury upon quostions of fact by so ekitifully blending his statomonts of the Inw with assump- tions of faot a8 would create, in thoir minds, the impression that cortain faots hnd boon fully proven, when, perhups, it was thelr duty to find, a8 jurors, that those facts had not boen provon. Sccondly, to seouro ta both litiganta the power to bring tho entive chargo of the Judga before the Appollato Court for roview, and to correct tho orrors of the Judgo, if any woro mado, Where the Judge's obargo is oral and extomporane- ous, 08 fn most other States aud in England, tho only mode by which coungol can bring suy portion of his chargo beforo tho Appellato Court for raviow {6 by stating orally, at tho closo of thoJudgo's charge, thoir oxcoptions to such portions, and aftorward reducing to writing tho ‘ortiona excopted to, and submitting their stato- monts to the Judgo himself, who decides in set- tling tholr bill of exceptions whothor tho coun- sel have stated his chargo corrcctly ormot. Of course, if bie happons to have chargod ono thing to tho jury, and to usist upon go sottling tho blll of oxceptions as to show to tho Appaliate Court that ho has chargod o wholly difforont thing, tho injurod party is without remody. Honco tho origin of our statute. Aundyet tho oral systom had cortain groat advantages ; nnd, sinco tho presence of & plonographie reporter rendors it unnccessary in all cases in which such reporters are employed that tho charge sbould bo first reduced to writing 1 order that tho truo languaga used may bo acourntoly prosorvad, it may bo wall to inquire whethor tho disadvantagos of the systom of writton charges do not more than outweigh tho ressous that in- duced its adoption. The systom, being bosod on distrust of the Judgo, cither as to his capacity or his honosty, necossarily works by shackling his utteranco. Ot course, being shackled, ho porforms his judi- oial task a8 imperfeotly as any othor shacklod objact hobbles through its raco—as imperfootly 08 tho nttornoys on oither side would sum up tho facts 1f thoy were required to clip thofr soar~ ing wings, abstraot thelr rhotorical tail-fonthors, and read s scroll of badly-written manu- veript to & slumboring = and disgusted jury. It tbe Bouch of Ilinols had *the unmbers and power of tho Bar, aud Lad rotal- iated upon them by requiring that counsel should sddress tho jury in writing, would the, dificulty in tho way of fully presonting encl soparato ide of tho case bo greater than the prosont difficulty of stating the law of the wholo caso impartially? It not only implios that our Judges are not to bo trusted with tho priviloge of oxtomporaneous spocch, which deprociates thom relatively to the Judges elsowhero ; but, if all our Judges woro veritable Mansfiolds aud Marshally, it would reduco them to the pitiful lovolof readors of attornoy’s manuscripts, A mere Dogberry could make o selection from such propositions of law as might bo offerad to him in wriling by Mr. Loonard Swott on the oneo sldo, or by Mr. Corydon Backwith on the other, and road thom with about as much safoty or in- fluenco as o Btory or a 'Lenterdon, And very fow Btorya and Tentordens will bo developed in tho performance of dutles 8o shacklod in their wmode of performanco that o Dogberry would auswor as woll. ‘The oral chargo of an able and honost Judge is the crowning charm, the chef d'euvre, of o well-conductod trial. Howovor ablo the counael may be, their sophistries dis- golyo, the confusions incident to the trial disap- pear, and order comes ont of chaos, a8 & clear-honded and impartial Court procoeds with its analysis of tho caso, until, at tho ond, counsol and parties alike are surprised that thoy should have differed on a motter so plain. By the oral chargo o Judgais pormitted to dofond the principlon of Impurtial justico rs freely as the advocate may speak iu the intorests of one side, Is thero no gaiu in this ? Of courso, during tho burry of a jury-tria), no Judgo, unless bo adjourna Court for that pur- poko, oan write out & chiargo that would comparo in soope, lucidity, and value with one which ho wonld doliver oratly, Ho is dopondont mainly on tho two or threo hurried sontonces bo may jot down while counsel are summing up, and on tho goleotion Lo may make from the maus of “ in- structions ” counsel on both sides may sub- mit to him. In o rocont caso i the ‘Buporior Court thirty pagos of thoso instructions were landed to the Judge Dy the opposing lawyers, many of thom consist- ing of sontonces #o fuvolved that no jury could 80 carry all tholr conditions In mind as to com- proliond their moanifug, still less to inquire into tholr truth, The suit was brought by sn eme ployo of s contractor engaged in loading railroad cars against tho railrond company for injurios sustained by tho omployo by the alleged nogll- gonco of the company in running their cars upon him.

Tho easo was protty cloar until, a8 they woro golug out, tho Judgo throw after them the instructions pro- pared by tho opposing counsol. IIad hie boen allowed to slmply talk to the jury he would prob- ably have removed sll romnining obscurities, TInatond of that, the chargo surrounded tho jury 1iko & horizon of elouas; it xoso and mantled the loavons until the ovidence was shut out. It thickoned tho wholo air with dorkness like tompost of spow in tho Biorrae, Tor twonty-six Jlong lours of obstinato com- bat aud disoussion tho jurors struggled for o vordict amidst the waves of discord into whic: this monatrous charge bad plungod them. At thoond of thistime thoy disagreed. Their vordict diod of inanition, produced by that ab- normal stupldity which overwbelms all human uttoranco whon obliged to pass through the con- tortions of legal noumen or philosophicnl jergon.

It was yeors before Du Ohaillu could convinco peopla that the gorills wasnob & myth, When tho animal's oxistonco was dofinitely eatablished, it was thought by many to acoount for the storles of men with tails. A truer oxplanation hasboen given by the oxplorations of Dr. Schwoinfuorth, the German Livingstone, This intrepld travelor spent the throo years from 1868 to 1871 in the heart of Africa. Ono of tho tribos ho ronchod was tho Bongo. All its malo mem- bors wear an animal's tall faostencd by a string ticd round the middlo of tho body. This cxplains tho fablo of tho tniled men as fully 08 5 maa on horseback oxplains tho mytlh of tho Centaurs, Tho most curious of Dr. Sehwoinfuorth's minor discovories was yob to come, Thronghout his long journoy ho Lad board of plgmies that livod near the equitor, Thoy woro nover over throo feot tall, said his Nublan sorvants, and they woro beards that reached to thelr kneos.

The tallest full-grown men wero nob over, 4 fat 10 inches, Thoy mEnid that great tribos of their follows lived jusk north of tho oquator. They are amisble, affee- tlonate, and quite intelligent. Dr. Behiweinfuorth considors thom to bo closoly ailied to tho Bush- mon of South Africa. Ho bought one of thom, Noswuo, for a dog, bat kept him only oightcen months. At that time he dlod of ovor-eating,— suroly nvery civilizod way of shuling off tho mortal coll, for did not tho * first gontloman i Europo,” to whom Sir Walter Scott played flun- koy, dio from tho solf-asmo causo?

It is oxtondiug tho bonofits of the Imporial school-system to womon. This syatem would be quite comploto woro it not for tho lack of two rather important eloments,— toachors and - scholars, Rusein builds school- liousos, but tho Ruesians let them stoud with & boggarly nray of ompty bonches within, Thus the ranle from which tho iustructors must bo drawn aro but thinly filled, A scareity of teach- ors is the rosult, This bhes probubly impolled tho Government to the enorgetic stops it ls taking to promote tho bigher education among women, It monus to train thom as tonchors.
