It this money is properly and economically applied, it will be sufhcenl to maintain a free public school from two to three months in every school district in the State. If this money, along with any balance -which may remain in the hands of the county treasurer, shall be insufficient to maintain schools four months, the law makes it the duty of the county commissioners to levy, annually, a special tax to supply the deficiency. I be ques tion of the levy and collection of such additional school tax, however, must be submitted to the vote of the electors of the county. If in any county the vote is against the additional school tax, the only school fund in such county will be that which ihe law has absolutely provided as above mentioned. GUARD THE SCHOOL MONET.

The comity Board of Education may adopt and carry out one, or all, of the following rules, or others which may occur to them :i That no order for school money shall be paid by the County Treasurer, until it is approved and signed by the Chairman and Secretary of the County Board of hd n cat ion. That the school money in no case be apportioned to any township, or paid upon the order of any school committee until the school census of the township is taken and reported as required by law. That the public schools shall not be taught at seasons of the year when' labor ing children cannot be spared from the farm. COUNTY EDUCATIONAL ASSOCIATION.

I r ' Ur -aa The Design of Prayer. The design of prayer, therefore, is not merely to make us devout while we are engaged in it, but that its odour may be diffused through all the intermediate spaces ot tbe day, enter into all its occupations, duties, and tem pers. Nor must its results be partial, or limited to pleasant and easy duties, but extend to such as are less alluring. When ws pray, for instance, for our enemies, the prayer must be rendered practical, must be made a means of softening our spirits and cooling our resentment toward them If we deserve their enmity the true spirit of prayer will put us upon endeavoring to cure the fault which has excited it. If we do not deserve it. it will put us on striving for a placable temper, and we Shall endeavor not to let slip so favora bly an occasion of cultivating it. There is no such softener of animosity, no such soother of resentment, no such allay er of hatred, as sincere cordial prayer.

Jayne. the Maryland Custom House informer, in his evidence before the Com mittee investigating the affairs of that in stitution, stated that iu fifty -three eases which he had investigated he found evi dences of bribery of officials. The names of these officeis were reported to the Sec retory of the Treasury. Some have resigned, a few have been removed, but by far the greater number are still in office. There is an anxious inquiry in the country for the names of these corrupt officials. Let th;m be made public, and then let the reason for their retention be demanded of the .Secretary. Fraud will thrive, if those who commit it go unpun ished when detected. In vain will the country look for a reformation of abuses so long as bribed officials are rewarded by position. New.

Newspapers in the- State which are favorable to popular education will please publish this circular for information. Alex. McIver. Sup't. Pub. Instruction. We printed yesterday in our telegraphic columns a brief statement of the premoni tory symptoms of volcanic eruption at or near bald Mountain, western North Caro lina. And this morning we publish further and fuller particulars, which go to show that tbe mountains must indeed be on fire, not in the usual sense of burning forests outside, but of actually and liter ally raging fires inside. We are at a loss to account for this extraordinary demonstration on the part of the staid old State just beyond the border of conservative Virginia. The recent death of the Siamese twins, with the attention given to the event by the scientific world, and the tragic end of the last of the Lowerys the other day, ought to have been enough, for some time, at least, to satisfy the "old North State" that her fame is not fading, and that the Mecklenburg declaration of independence is not all she has to boast in pointing to the memorable epochs in her history. But it is not so, it seerai . Her ambition, is aronsed. Her jealonsy is moved. Her blood is un for a rivalry of j California, or it may be of Italy itself. She wants an earthquake, or a volcano, or both. And as her Bald mountain rumbles, and trembles, and sends out smoke from its seething sides, a wonder ing world stands agape and aghast, in breathless apprehension of the outburst of an ultramontane fire that shall light the land from east to west, and make North Carolina known even beyond the bounds of civilization. But badinage aside and our raillery with our sister State is, of course, the familiarity of fondness there is matter for serious reflection in this phenomenon so new to us here. It is something for the geologists to explain. For augbt we kuow our own Old Do minion mountains, that have never yet been moved, may catch the contagion and give us a volcano iu Virgiuia too. What an attraction it would be to visitors in summer ! What an advertisement it would be for the proprietors of the spring ! If North Corolina is in earnest about es tablishing a Vesuvius, Virginia will not rest contented with her Peaks of Otter, her Natural Bridge, and her Weir's Cave. She will have a burning mountain also, if she has to send to Mexico for it.

An Insane Man Chops His Wife up with a Hatchet and Cuts His Otcn Throat with a Razor. Early on Snnday morning a terrible tragedy occurred in Brooklyn, N. Y., in which Dennis Delaney, a private watch man, in an insane freak inflicted deadly wounds on bis wife with a hatchet, and then committed suicide by cutting his own throat with a razor. The New York Sun says : "The only witness to the crime was a little boy nine years old, was awakened by the sound of blows. With three younger children he slept in a pallet on the floor in the room with bis parents. The baby slept in a crib He opened his eyes and saw his father on bis knees E a a a .

The boy was so terrified that he was unable to move or cry out, but he watched his father strike the no- conscious woman, first with the edge of tbe hatchet and then with the head of it. Then his father dropped the hatchet and Every one has a Gift. AH Christ ians have some gift. Some may have but one talent, but all have one at least. Tne Tie.at Householder has apportioned to every servant a talent. No single part of a vital body is without its office. True, there are some parts of the body whose office has not been discovered ; but ss these are found to be necessary, quite sure that they fulfill some nui nose. 1 rulv. there are some ians who might bo put in that category ; it might puzzle anybody to know what they are capable of; and yet it is certain they have some charge committed to them to keep, and that, if true believers-, they are essential parts of the body of Christ. As every beast, bird, hsh and insect has its own place iu nature, so has every Christian a fit poeitiou iu the economy of a grace. No true plant, no weed could be dispensed with without injury to nature's perfectness ; neither can any sort or gm or erace be lost to the Church without in jury to her completeness.

Then the parks, plazas and promenades wear an animated appearance.

All the doors and windows facing the street open upon small balconies, and here ladies love to stand and fan themselves under the damask awnings, and gentlemen to smoke their cigarettes, and both to be admired by the passers-by. The streets are paved with cobble-stones, the narrow ones with flags.
