simplest kind. We will suggest such a plan as follows:—The positions now held by Crook, Terry and Gibbon on the Big Horn Mountains, the mouth of the Rosebud River and the mouth of the Big Horn River, re- spectively, should be made the sites of strong depot posts for supplies, guarded by in- fantry. A force of at least twenty-five hun- dred cavalry, with two batteries of Gatling guns or mountain howitzers to be used for dislodging the savages from strong positions, and one rocket battery on the English model, which would utterly demoralize mounted Indians, should be organized, and after be- ing put on Sitting Bull’s trail should follow him up and down like a bloodhound on the scent until they had captured or killed him and his band. The adoption of such a sim- ple plan as this would strike terror into the Indian heart and Indian wars, we believe, would cease forever. The Herald’s Storm Predictions. Our efforts to secure for the readers of the Henatp the fullest intelligence regarding meteorological changes, both in the vicinity of New York and even in distant parts of the country, have been eminently successful. In nearly every instance our predictions of the approach of storms and other phenomena have been verified even beyond our own ex- pectations, and we can point with satisfac- tion to the heavy rain and thunder storms of yesterday as the most complete verification of ourannouncement of Sunday morning. We then stated :—“‘At present the area of low- est barometer is central between the Missouri and Mississippi rivers on the forty-second parallel, and this depression will bring with it violent storms, which may be felt even in this city by Tuesday or Wednesday next.” The storm yesterday commenced about two P. M. and continued over an hour. After a lull, which lasted until seven o'clock P. M., another storm area advanced over the city, and lightning flashed and thunder rolled with extraordinary violence. The tempera- ture sensibly lowered during and after the disturbance, and a considerable amount of water fell to refresh vegetation. This rain will be regarded as a providential favor at a season when certain parts of the country and even New York city itself were threatened by awater famine. Cisterns will now be re- filled, possibly to overflowing, but we would advise our readers to be economical with their water supply until the termination of the hot season. Many terrible and fatal effects wero produced by the lightning during the progress of these storms over the country, an account of which will be found in another part of to-day's Herat. Cenrensiat Fares charged by the owners of the steamboat lines between Boston and New York appear to depend solely on the capacity of the travellers to be squeezed by the enterprising boat officials. The rate has been raised, according to a correspondent, without any previous announcement, and passengers are preyed upon by the steam- boat harpiesin the most discreditable man- ner. There is only one remedy for this kind of thing, and it is to refuse to patronize the steamboat lines until the companies awaken to a just recognition of the rights of travel- lers and their own obligations.

A NEW YORK STEAMER WRECKED. REPORTED LOSS OF THE STEAMEB GEORGIA IN THE STRAITS OF MAGELLAN. ‘The Evening Telegram of yesterday published the following special cable despatch:— Lonpow, July 11, 1876, A telegram from Montevideo reports that the American steamship Georgia, from New York, bound for San Franciséo, {s ashore in the Straits of Magellan. The vessel will probably prove a total wreck, al- though the cargo will be saved. BEAL STATE OF THE CASE. The Jatest information received by the Panama Transit Steamship Company reports the steamer Georgia ashore at Rocky Point, in the Straits of Magel- lan, Tho captain wag transshipping his cargo to Sandy Point, about thirty-miles distant, where he could re- ship it after getting his ship off Rocky Point is about half way through the Straits There are but four to five feet of tide and no sea, as the Straits are but ten miles wide at that point and the prevailing winds are off the land It is within thirty miles of a Chilian naval and coaling station anda settlement where assistance of lightors and tugs, and a Chilian man-of-war can at al) times be bad, As the Georgia is a sister ship to the steamer South Carolina, which came safely off Barnegat shoals alter pounding twenty-two days upon them in mid- winter, thus demonstrating their ecormous strength and power of endurance, it is reasonable to infer that the ship will come off without serious injary. The crew is safe. The names ot the officers are:—Cap- tain, Nickerson; First Oflcer, McCoy; Second OMcer, Crocker; Acting Purser, Lincoln; Chiet Engineer, Law- rence, The Georgia is an iron vessel, of 1,643 tons, and was bailt at Philadelphia in 1870 for W.

AN OCTOGENABIAN QUAKER ACCUSED OF KILI- ING HIS NEIGHBOR'S HORSES AND SWINE AND BURNING HIS HAY STACKS, Newrorr, R. 1, July 11, 187 There was considerable excitement in the town ot Portsmouth, near this city, vesterday and to-day over the developments concerning a hitherto respectabie citizen named Clark Chase, aged eighty years. About ton years ago he and a neighbor named Joseph Anthony, now tho postmaster of the town, had some difficulty im reference to a drift way, and Anthony, rightfully, it 18 thought, gained his pomt, From that time till the present Anthony has suffered serious losses in the way of having his bay stacks burnod, hogs potsoned, and about two years ago he lost two valuable horses, they evidently having been cut with some sharp instrument, Last week another horse was cut in the same manner. Night before last a watch was set, and just before daylight, yesterday, Chase was seen to approach the lot where the horses were grazing, and after coying one of them to thé fence with some cora, he was seen to punch it with a cane, He was at once seized, but the cane, which is supposed to have had asword or a sharp instrument inside, was not taken from him. After fully identify him they came to this city and laid the facts betor M. Manchester, Shoriff of the county. This official re- grots that the cane was not secured. The horse, being stabbed in two places, is not expected to live. As soon as the affair became noised about, Chaso’s house was surrounded, and if he bad shown bis tace he would have been mobbed, Wiser counsels prevailed, owing to his age, and the writ, which was issued this after- noon, will be served upon hiin in the morning. He is a Prominent member of the Society of Friends, 18 com- lortably situated, and his friends, although knowing that suspicion pointed strongly against him as being the cause of Anthony's losses, yet can hardly beneve bim guilty of the grave charges which will be proved against him. Thero were several persons who saw him Biab the horse yesteraay morning. SENATOR BLAINE’S LETTER.

YESTERDAY'S PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL EDUCATIONAL ASSOCIATION—PAPERS AND DIS- CUSSION OM THE COUNTRY SCHOOL PROBLEM, ON BDUCATION IN BBAZIL AND STOCKHOLM. Bautivone, July 11, 1876 The National Educational Association assembled at nine o'clock this morning: W. H. Phelps, President, in the chair, The first business was a paper read by Professor Fa- ward Olney, ofthe University of Michigan, entitled “The Country School Problem.’? Tho paper treated of the defects in the country School system, growing, in & great measure, out of the meagre salaries paid to teachers, which precludes competent men and women from taking hold of positions which will give them Promises only to end their lives in an almsbouse, The matter is looked upon as very serious, as it can only rosult in half educated men and women for want ot competent instructors. To reach tothe point of the desired education, which can only be reached by the employmont ot trained teachers, appears to be in the far future. There are, however, steps taking in some of the States to attain this end, Another point dis- cussed by the paper is the unification of the schools of every grade from the lowest collegiate course, It also Proposes that the certificate of a school should be a passport to the next higher grade of school To the Tural schools there might be some difficulty in the out- set, but placed in a proper relation to the other schools they will soon take their prover place in the educa- tional system. his desirable work be protected by the State boards of education taking an interest in the subject and using their vest energies for its accom- plishment, The paper was considerably discussed by Messrs. Smith, of Ohio; Brown, of Maine, and Protessor Olney. RDUCATION IN VRAZILA Dr. Da Motta, Commi-sioner o! Educution of Brazil, spoke of the educational system ot his country, For years it bad beep an important question in that coun- try. They hud no divisions of township or district, but the primary education was under the control the " provinces. The — government looks upon tho teachers as the most useful men in the country, and their future is guaranteed according to their time of service and their educational qualifications. Their primary education is free and compulsory in the cities, but in’ the couatry that could not be effected. In the cities the proportion of illiterate children is every day decrensing. All rich people have private” teachers for their children, beside which there are many schools supported by benevolent institutions. For the higher schools the teachers are examined in the language of the country, in French, Greek, Latin, rhetoric, philosophy and’ mathematica, unless they have gradvated from those schools where the ex- amination 18 not required. For medicine a study of ®IX years is required, and a@ scientitic course of five ‘years for the profession of the law, besides & practice of one year. The course of study includes the natural, civil and commercial and the law of processes, The Catholic religion is the faith of the State, and people are required to study the catechism, but as the government is liberal in that re- spect those who are not of that faith are dispensed from that study. They have also mechanieal, com- mercial and military iustisntes and naval schools. Br. zil is following in the steps of elder nationsy and her best efforts aro used to continually improve upon the best methods of American schcols, \ KDUCATION IN SWEDEN. of Mr. Meyerberg, Superintendent of Schools in Stock- \aolm, Sweden, spoke of the educational system of his country and of the introduction of Protestantism into Sweden in the fifteenth century. Botore that time the sons of tho froe peasants were taught the old songs aud the people were free and independent, When Gustavus Vassa became King he ordered the monks to go among the people and instruct them. Now instruction {s compulsory for all chil- dren over nine years of age. ‘The teachers are an independent class of men, and they will rule, for their place 1s a life tenure, and a good man will not fake a place unless he is sure that he will keep it. Religions instruction in the schools is compulsory, ox- cept that Catholic or Jewish children are exempted irom such compulsion. The President announced the following Committee on Resolution Messrs, E. E, White, of Indiana; W. H, Ruffner, of Virginia; B. Mallon, of Georgin; W. T. Luckey, of California, and Warren Johnson, of Maino. Adjourned to cight P. M. ‘The attendance to-day was larger than yesterday, LITERARY CHIT-CHAT.
