In New York State last year there wore 800,000 children of school age who did not attend school. The precentago of gain in the at tendance at public schools in the Southern States has surpassed the gain in population. I low many persons do you know who are ready to talk about a book, a picture, or a play, or gome improv ing and practical matter, rather than to indulge in unkind words about their neighbors? The Wilmington Messenger has shown considerable enterprise in sending a special agent to Washing ton to copy the list f direct taxes paid by our people on land in 18GG and soon ty be refunded.

Superintendent Finger told us a few days since on the cars that he had made most satisfactory arrange ments for the temperauce school books. He is not contracting with the American Book Company either. An independent firm are revising thei: books undei Supt. Finger's directions to meet the re quirements of the law. Some people might infer that Sec retary I oster's change of heart as to the amount of Interest to be paid on the 4 per cent' bonds just after a conference with some of the Wall Street clique was queer, but it wasn't. Wall Street has dictated the finan cial doiicy ct this liovernracnt so long that it scarcely encites comment when a Secretary of the Treasury pays yeriodical visits to New York to receive the orders of his masters. One of the great evils of the time is false swearing in listing propeny tor taxation, it an property was properly honestly given in, the State and counties would raise more money than is needed, therefore the rate of taxation could be lowered and the honest man would not be forced to pay more than his proportionate share of the burdens of supporting the government. There is another great evil, the exempting of proper ty from taxation by Legislative acts, under the guise of charity and benev olence. A prominent gentleman in Wilmington told us a few days since worth property in that plac? exempt ed from taxation. Think of it, over 20 per cent of the property not bear ing its share of government; and there is in the same place probably over a million dollars' worth of pro perty that annually evades taxation; anu what is true ot w nmington is no doubt true of every other town and city to a certain extent. These are grave matters ami win cause trouble when the naked truth is gen erally known. RULES OF THE COMMISSION ERS. CHAPTER HL Whether or not malevolent spirits hare power of interference in human .affairs is an open question; hut certain it ia that, to prima facie view, events can at times arrange themselves with a malig nant disregard of individual needs and desires which would leave nothing to the invention of the most perverse devil the imagination could conjure up. Also certain is it that everlasting truths anent the inexorable interplay of circumstance nd environment and the operation of unchangeable laws fail of the recogni tion and reverence they merit when in terplay and action combine to knock the foundations from under a man's per sonal calculations. And the individual thus stranded ia a good deal more apt to blaspheme like a stevedore than to ac cept the situation like a rational and scientific gentleman. Tho train winch left Matoacca at 4:30 pulled into the little mountain station at 10:53, when, according to a perjured schedule, it should have been there at 10 sharp. There was no reason that Royal could discover for such flagrant breach ef contract save the unhastefulness of a single-track road with no competition and few connections. Passengers, em ployes and even the engine appeared con tent to take it easy over the mountains, and when Royal in a frenzy of impatience entered protest he was met by the con ductor with intolerable good humor and the assurance that matters might he tauch more unsatisfactory. Col. Fred Olds, in his correspond ence to the Messenger, gives the fol lowing condensation of the rules pre pared by the Itailroad Commission- I.

The regulations of the railroads as to demurrage or deten tion of cars are matters of policy, with which the Commission will only interfere upon complaint of abuse. All roads under the same or different management shall make just and rea sonable rates for switching and ex change of business at connecting points. Rates now in force are con tinued.

And received from the hands of a white haired gentleman his unknown bride. "We used to aim to be on time," the official observed cheerfully, "but these here grades are tremenjeous heavy, an' the curves sharper 'n common. The Tiind coach jumps the track once in a while if she ain't humored, an' it takes a durned sight longer to h'ist her back with fence rails 'en it does to run keer- ful." "Tne schedule oughtn t to say one thing and the road do another," re buked Roval. "It's an imposition on the public." "Well, it don't look considerate," ac quiesced the conductor, then added, with the esprit de corps of all railway men, "We do make it most in general. Some times, like today, we gets bothered. It don't happen more'n omce a fortnight we lose over fifteen or twenty minutes." He walked away with uplifted Bhoulders, which gave to the back of his coat an expression of protest against in temperate haste. And Royal, as though that could expedite matters, established himself on the platform. He was vexed and tormented by a de lay which threatened shipwreck to his scheme by depriving him of the time necessary for explanations and readjust ments. His sympathy and interest had become so involved that he had come to feel a personal pride in carrying " the af fair through to successful issue to feel that he had heralded himself to en ter the lists against caprice and injus tice, and was in danger of failure, not through lack of prowess, but through extraneous and exasperating circum stances. So completely did the matter absorb and possess him that obstacles, instead of daunting his resolution and causing him to reconsider the situation, only aroused and concentrated his forces as though they had been obstructions in the path of his individual hopes and fortune. He was anxious also about the patient he had been compelled to leave in the care of an inexperienced young fellow. downy with graduation honors and self confidence, whom he had picked up in the office of the hotel. The case was so serious that the least mismanagement might precipitate the result. Held aloof by preoccupation, Royal failed to appreciate or even note the grand uplifting of the country round about, the exquisite tracery of the win ter forest, the delicate hue of the sky. or the wonderful harmony ofTtone given by the shading of earth and rocks, tree stems and fading vegetation. Even the quick leap of a brook escaped him. and the grace of the curve with which, like a queen's obeisance to a rival power, it turned aside from the embankment of the railway and pursued its lovely, mur murous journey down the mountain. Higher up the road ran at the foot of cliffs covered with laurel and scrub pine and cedar, whose gray- bowlders jutted up through dark mold and the brown ness of fallen leaves, relieved and bright ened here and there by patches of par tridgebeny and teaberry vines, which grew low, and showed vivid scarlet against dark green, where birds and rabbits had left the fruit nngathered. Against the rocks, in sheltered nooks, where t he wind could not despoil them, were long trails of bramble vines and poison oak holding bunches of dark pur ple berries and tufts of crimson leaves. Through a long cutting whose sides showed the presence of iron, ore, the train steamed out into a broad valley, .and drew np at a station with de ceitful briskness and a self laudatory whistle of accomplished duty.. Royal lost no time in transferring himself and his impatience to the station platform. "Anybody here for Dr. Royal?" The question was impersonally ad (tressed to a little knot of loungers, and Royal paused for a reply, wondering what the dickens he should do if thrown on his own resources. A thickset man in a gray overcoat copiously patched with blue a .relic of secession reconstructed advanced to meet him. "You're Dr. Royal yerse'f, I reckon. Ain't you?' he questioned. Royal nodded and the man extended his hand with great cordiality. Done forgot me, I reckon, doctor, but I ain't forgot you. We all used to hunt an' fish together back yonder befo' you went to school. My name's Jim Dodsoa; that'll fix you, I reckon. Hurry right along. Yon ain't got time to talk now, I know, an well hitch up them six years arter a while. Come this a-way. Squire Brandon sont the buggy, an' Spot drir; but that mar' o' his'n can't abide engines, nother she don't like strangers, so Spot he hilt her here behind the depot an' axed me to look out fur you." He tilted up his hat brim and cast an observing eye skyward. Koyal per ceived the man's mistake, but had not time to rectify it. Behind the station stood a buggy, mud flashed and untidy, but strong and serviceable; between the shafts was a dark bay with a good deal of white to her eye and apparently con sidf rable go in her. A gentlemanly lad of f ourteen or thereabout stood at her head and glanced anxiously toward the train. At sight of Royal his counte nance cleared and he accosted him cheerily: "All right, doctor! How are you? Jump right in. I thought judgment day would beat that train coming. Hallo! I forgot about the accident! Here, Jim, stand by her head, please, while I help Dr. Royal in. We've got to make tracks." "You have that !" pbserved a bystander. The whole group had followed Royal round the station, and appeared fully aware of the situation and deeply inter ested in it. Filled with amusement, and feeling hypocritical, Royal declined the Jxiy'B proffered shoulder and took his place in the buggy. Spotswood sprang in beside him, gathered np the reins, and they were' off followed Jby a shout fm Dodson: "Make her everlastin toddle, Spots- wood! The sun's a-clamberin' up to'ards the j'ist mighty rapid. If you don't step out peart, 12 o'clock will ketch you-all gwine." "I reckon not," the boy shouted back. "Clipper knows how to travel." Then he turned with a reassuring air to Royal: "Don't you fret, doctor. We'll make it, now I've got you behind Clip per. I shook in my shoes though awhile back, that confounded train dawdled so. It looked like fate was dead against you." "Why don't somebody report those trainmen?" demanded Royal, still in censed over the delay and longing to punish somebody. The boy laughed. "Where's the use?" he demanded in his turn. "They've got a monopoly, and complaints would go in I at one ear and out at the other. They aren t often so much behind as they were today though, and I don't wonder you wanted to lay on the whip. We'd have made better time from the station on horseback, but Phyllis was afraid the ride would knock you up. The road isn't bad, however, and " we can make it driv ing if we look sharp." He whistled to his horse and touched her lightly with the whip. "How far is it?" Royal - questioned, glancing at his watch. "Half an hour's drive to the house, and fifteen minutes to the church for Clipper," the boy replied concisely. "The road's been altered since you used to know it, 1 reckon; but youll remember where the church is the one Miss Royal built just after she came to the old place in memory of John Hart. She's burled there, you know, under that big oak near the vestry window. . She told Phyl once, a long time ago, that she wanted her to be married there. Phyl has been with us ever since Miss Royal died, but the church is close by and mighty convenient. Phyl wanted to be married from the old place, but my mother wouldn't hear of it. The house has been shut up for nearly four months, you know; it's -bound to be damp and stuffy." , "Where are you going now?" Royal questioned, the demand for new plans making itself disconcertingly apparent. "Straizht to the church. If the train was on time I was to drive yon out home; if it wasn't, right to the church. Phyl and the rest will meet you there." The road had entered a skirt of woods, and was nrmer and more free from ruts and mud holes. Clipper responded to the improvement in a style which won Royal's admiration. Young Brandon listened with the air of personal merit mingled with assumed deprecation with which the creature masculine always hearkens to praises of his horse. He was in high feather, filled with pride in his mission, and chatted away merrily. His father old Squire Brandon, as he was called had intended meeting the train himself, but had been prevented at the last minute. Just the scurvy sort of trick fate had been playing John Royal all through, the sick man's representa tive thought, as he heard . it. Here was more time irrevocably waste!, for it would be useless explaining matters to tlnsboy. The boy meanwhile considering him self, evidently, not a deputy to be de spised, put his horse along with a deft avoidance of stones, mud holes, and other impedimenta which to Royal, un accustomed to mountain roads, seemed little short of marvellous. He increased Royal's perplexity, too, with every word . he uttered, and with every intention of being agreeable forced more and more -absolutely upon that gentleman the con- sciousness that things were at a deadlock. " "Jt was all right about the license," St- tgwcod gleefully assured bjm.

If it could be hown conclusively that then were $22.00 or even $.'0 per capita, and that cither of thce amount would suffice to do thj buinr4 of the couutry, the evil of cctlpated currency would still continue un abated. hole who dhicuftt nothing ut the inctease of the volume of the currency ns a remedy have never soriouily consldwd the evil., It is perfectly true that the greater the volume the harder for mono wly to control the circulation: but it is alo true that so long an mono. poly dos control It, however great the volume, credit will be curtailed and ordinary businc cramped. The energy of the battle ought to U mainly against tUu monopoly in charge of all our financial machinery, mil it oimht not he fthifted to side isms. If wo win the main flht these will bo Kittled.

The moropoliHiic juggler ot finance pretend to know exactly how much we do ik ed, and they have denied it out in such quantities as to make paupers out of one half our popula tion. Certain of the simple minded of our own friends too belle vo that they have dheovered how much wo need, and they have I teen decoyed into au endless jargon of words with the monoiollHts, by which the real Issues have bet n greatly olwcurcd, greatly to the delight of the norio- Jpoliste.

He saw that too much good was being done. Recruits were being gathered by hundreds of thousands to the Gos pel standard. The victories for God and the truth were too near together. Too many churches were being dedi cated. 1 Too many ministers were be ing ordained. Too many philanthropies were being fostered. : Too many souls were being saved. It bad been a dull time In the nether -world, and the ar rivals were too few. So Satan one day rose upon his throne and said, "Ye powers of dark ness, hearl" And all up and down the caverns the cry was, "Hear!
