NATIONAL AII TO PUBLIC ; ' SCHOOLS. Senator John A. Logan, in an ar ticle which appeared in the April number of the, JTerfhAfwcrMaa - vieief discusaes the subject of na tional aid to public schools, favoring an appropriation by Congress of not less than forty millions of dol lars for this purpose. His notice of the foundation oi tbe public school system in the United States, will perhaps be of interest to oar readers. In the year 1635, Boston, then but fire years old, resolved that "our brother Philemon Permoant be appointed school master for tbe in struction and education of our chil dren thirty acres of land being appropriated at the same time for his support. Thus was the seed sown that has developed into oar present system of edncation. But five years experience taught our pilgrim fathers that there were oth er difficulties to be overcome than simply providing means for the support of tbe teacher; parents were found so regardless of the wel fare of their children as to wholly neglect tbe advantages offered them. Hence it was enjoined, that 'whenever a family shall be found in which so barbarous a state of things exists, as that the head thereof did neither by his own ef forts, nor those of others, endeavor to give his children and servants sufficient instruction to enable tnem to read, fluently the English Ian guage, and acquire a knowledge of the penal laws, a penalty or twenty shillings should be imposed for such neglect,;, i- .-, .. finding that punishing the pa rent 'did not Instruct tbe cmia ther' further ordained that the children and servants of such pa rent and masters' as. after warn ing, persisted in neglect, might be placed by the authorities nnder the guaruiansnip oi oiuer neaas oi iwu ilies the dots until tbe age twenty-one and the girts until eight een. It was also further ordained, in : 1647, that' every town of fifty families should be bound to snpport a school-master competent to teacli reading' and .writing, and every town of two hundred and fifty fam ilie to support; a rrammar school Such was the commencement made by our" 2Tew; England ancestors in the. wort of .education:., ana si thoagh the turmoil, . strife, and hardships of the Bevolationary War well-nigh destroyed the little plant which had sprung from this seed, yet there can bono doubt that this germ we owe our present edu catieoal system. - ' 'If the .above statement w true, North Carolina has not yet arrived st the point in educational matters where New England started over two hundred years ago. - True we have many colleges and institutions of .learning of which we are justly proud, but for the education ofT the masses we have not made a single stroke as effective as that made by the pilgrim fathers in The most of our little towns and villages have their littie private schools, but they are not public, and out in the rural districts there ia absolutely almost nothing being" doue by tbe State to educate the pborchildreii who are not able to -educate them selves. "; It is true the' Constitution of. ,1 80S required the County Com missiooers of each bounty to keep a public school open for four -months in the year in each school district, but that clause ia the Constitution has long since become a dead letter The Legislature has been trying for the past twelve years to perfect system of - public schools citovt money. They have actually, been so extravagant a t appropriate one dollar and tlre tents a year for the edncation of each child in tbe State. The legislator who made' no effort to increase the appropriation for public schools ought" to hide him self In some- swamp, and there re main until Gabriel Jblows for . him. This is '.the sum. appropriated . by goad old North Carolina, while Con nectkut contributes annually for the edncation of each child 117.80, Massachusetts lfJw, and New York 110.09. -raf ,tt. i-i Tbe Senator opposes j separate national . system- of public schools, boi i in favor of aid being granted upoa certain condition and under eertaia restrietlooi, as follows : -Firat, the States should he re quired to; adopt' a nniform system ; second, no State or Territory should be allowed Its proportion of the amount appropriated except upon the" condition that such State or Territory appropriate at least an equal amount far the same purpose ; third, the National Bureau of Edu cation should be charged with the duty of executing the provisions of the appropriation acts, and should also have tbe right to decide wheth er the conditions were properly complied with. Bat the two most difficult points to decide, says he, would be the gross amount to be appropriated, and tbe ratio of distribution. The first be does not discuss, but the question as to bow the distribution should be made he does discuss, and oppose the proposition to distrib ute in proportion to illiteracy, because, says he, ir Is unjust and unequal anu nas too much tbe ap pearance Of rewarding tbe nan Ii. I " u cm 1 1 .. I gent, who are unwilling to help themselves. lie charges tbat the States which do little or uotbins for public edncation, are lacking in their appreciation of the value of ednca tion, instead of bfilng unable to bear the taxes for that pnrjiose. He makes a comparison of several 9tates, showing the parcenta'e ot illiteracy aim tbe amount of taxes paid North Carolina having the j largest per cent, of illiteracy and ; my chum, who was better acquaint making the smallest appropriation i ed with him, yntied the .string and and we think, justlv concludes that it would not be right to en courage tbe.se states in their do nothing pojify at the exrwnse of other States, who are taxing them selves for this purpo. The article npon tbe wiiol is timely, and we trust is the begin ning of an agitation which will end in a good round appropriation being made by Congress, in such a man ner as will mostly benefit those in need of it. WASHIXGTWJ LETTER. Washington, April 20. Among notabilities now visiting the city is Herr Most, the German Labor agitator and communist. He addressed a large audience Wednes day evening in Cosmopotian Hall on the labor question. His listen ers were mostly Germans, and he spoke in tbe German tongue. He has a sharp, but distinct voice and speaks with great vigor. He urged working people to organize at once into trades unions and protect themselves against monopolists, factory kings, landlords, and stock brokers, whom he called high-born robbers. He recapitulated the woes of the down-trodden masses of Ireland, and thought the American people should snpport and sustain the Irish in tbetr strugles against English rule. He was frequently applauded. Ho. S. S. Cox of New York ar rived in the city Wednesday from Richmond where he had been lec turing for some charitable object. He is one of the most cuofident aspirants for the speakership of the next House. He says he will have the New York delegation to support him, besides votes in the Wisconsin, Virginia, and Missouri delegations, which have been pledged to him by unrequested letters. The new Postmaster General is already besieged by unreasonable office seekers. The otber day a paper is unceremoniosly thrust into his band which upon examination proved to be a petition from an ap plicant for the position of driver of a little Government conveyance used by the Department. The plea was that as the present incumbent bad held the office a long while he oueht to be removed to make room for the claimant who was ont of bread. After reading tbe paper through carefully and listening patiently to the man's argument, Judge Ureshain, with difficulty con cealing his' amusement, -gravely replied that, as this was one of the most important questions that would come 1efore him, be would not venture to decide it under less than two or . three months carefu consideration. - Col. Bob Ingersoli, the irrepres sible iandel, and the apostle of am ateur thinkers, bad another oppor tunity this week of delivering an agnostic lecture beside the bier of a dearJriend. It hink Col. Bob dotes on these funeral occasions. Tbey affbrd inspiration for bis style of eloquence, while his listeners, awed by their sombre surroundings and what he call8"the mystery of death' are not critically acute To bis bnl liant inconsistencies, nor inclined to test their coherency. A bronze statue to Professor Henry, who may be called the father of the Smithsonian Institn tion, inasmuch as he ' devised its plan and controlled its ' administra tion for more than thirty years, was unveiledthursday afternoon-, in the beautiful grounds of the Institution with appropriate ceremonies. It was witnessed by a large concourse of people. The-national Academy of Science which was holding its annnal meeting in the Nationul Museum building close by, partici pa ted iu tbe 'ceremonies, and tbe bright day lent glory to the honors paid to the memory of tbe distin cuisbed scientist. "Tbe civil service commissioners are now installed in their headquar ters in tbe annex of the Agricul tural Department. They have re ceived applications for office from every state of the Union, and the mail brings them daily. These ap plications are filed away for the present, but as soon as the Presi dent and Cabinet shall bare ap proved of tbe rules prepared by the Commission for the conduct of ex amination for in try into the public service, and for promotions, a blank win De prepared in the nature of a reply to these letters. It will con tain instructions as to bow an ap plicant 'shall proceed in order to appear before the board for exami nation. It is thought the rales will be a practical and fair test of proficiency among those competing roruovernment puce. Considerable uneasiness has been manifested by a largB number of Government employees orer a re mark of Judge Thorn an, tb pnjy Democrat on tbe board of Civil Service Exam iners. He is reported to hare said that there was nothing in the terms of the civil service but that would prevent a democratic President discharging every clerk in uovernmeut office it be .should think proper to do so. tux Senator Kellogg of Louisiana wbo has been connected with nearly all the crimes of Republican mis rule, State or Nation, was this week indicted for complicity in the Star Route frauds, and has retained as his attorney Charles Reid of Chica go, wbo arm be remembered as one of the counsel for Goitaau, The Wieke Bey. "What aila your pa's teeth." asked the eroceryman of the bad boy. 'The hired girl was over here to get some corn meal for erueL and she said your pa had lost his teeth.' "Oh about tbe teeth. That was two bad. You see, my chum has got a dog that is old, and bis teeth have all come out in front, and this morning I borrowed pa's teeth be fore be got up, to see if we couldn't fix them in too doe's mouth so he could eat better. Pa says it is an evidence of a kind heart for a bov to be good to dumb animals, but it's a darn mean dog that will go back on a friend. We tied the teeth in the dogs mouth with a string that went around bis upper jaw and another around his under jaw, and you'd a died to see how fuuny he looked when he la fled.

Koine ixr sons assert there wiil be plenty of peacbes and apples, while others say that most of tbe peaches are already killed. While the crop of apples may be abundant, . yet we fear that there will not be many peacbes in this section. It rarely happens that we have two good peach crops in successive years and as we bad an abundance of peaches last year, we cannot expect to have mauy this year. We regret to bear that a young man of thi township, named Hubbard Mans field, has become insane. No cause can be assigned for it, as be was hale, hearty youth. A few morn ings ago, Mr. Thomas Y.

The vast area of the United states oi America is every year being more aud more cultivated Ita food means are increasing in an astonishing manner, and perhaps none more tnan tbose of tbe most healthy animal food we have,namely fish. There is no doubt that this onld not be the case if nothing done to promote tbe cultivation and propagation of flBjj, for ffte epa water fish would be exhausted in special neighborhoods ot fishing grounds, and tbe tpesh-water fish would be lost by tbe deteriorating influence of river pollution. Tbe more manufacturing establishments in using up water and polluting the rivers with chemical refuse, inter fere with the increase of fish, the more it will be necessary to stock other rivers and replace the supply tbat has been lost. In this matter, that is, in the pro pagation of fish, tbe United States stands at tbe bead of the nations Of the world, it being due mostly to run earnest encjpayors of a limited uumbor of men, who UMP so strongly represented their cause to the gov ernmental powers of the oouutrv that they have obtained the mip port of the general government in every state of the Union. Fish commissions are established in every state, and stations for the propagation offish are increasing in number yearly. It was on rebruajy 9, 1871, that Congress passed ajoiut resolution which authorized the appointment of a Commissioner of Fish and Fish eries, f lie dfltjes of the commis sioner were thus' denej: .'.'To prosecute investigations on tne subject of the diminution of valuable fishes, with the view of ascertaining whether auy aud what diminution the number of the lood fishes of the coast and the lakes of the United States has taken place; and if so, to what causes the same is due ; and also, whether aud what protective, prohibitory or precau tionary measures should be adopted in the pre;njses; and to report npon tbe same to COfjSTAg-V tbe same to consres This same resolution of fJojjjrress twelve years ago h;is had immense results, and the work done under it has raised the United States in the matter of the management of fisheries to the leadership among civilized uatiuns? The work of the commissiou is principally direct toward the following objects: 1. The systematic investigation of the waters of the United States,and tbe i;!.QcHl and physical problems which they nrsct, j. The inves tigation of the methods of s'erjps, management, past and present, aiid the statistics of production and commerce of fishery products, 3. The introduction and multiplication of useful food-fishes throughout the country, especially in waters under the jurisdiction of t he general gov ernment,or those common to several States, none of which might feel willing to make expenditures tor the benefit of the others. This workwas first undertaken at the instance of .the American Fish Cultural Association, and a special appropriation was made by Congress for the purpose. This appropriation has been increased annually, and tbe propagation of fish forms at present the most ex tensive work of the commission. In 1880 a vessel was completed for use of the Fish Commission called the Fish Hawk. This vessel is of 484 tons burden, and provided with all the necessary convenience for in vestigation, and forms a floating hatching establishment. Among the batching stations, those for shad, first in Albemarle sound, N. C, and then on the Potomac river, and then in the vicinity of Fort Washington, and one at Havre de Grace, Md;, were the most useful. For the salmonidae the McCloud river station was established for tbe cultivation of California salmon From here eggs were distributed not only over all the states, but also in several European countries. The station on the Penobscot river furnished Penobscot salmon, and the principal rivers of the northern and eastern states were furnished with them. The station on Grand Lake stream produced a very large gathering of the eggs of the land locked salmon. A station for whitetish was made at Northville, Mich., and the lakes were plentifully supplied with the eggs. These were the principal stations up to 1880; those establish ed later are also becoming of great consequence. A most important inl reduction of food-nsh is that of the German Carp, which will in a few years nave wonuenui results. Tbe carp may be called the "farmer's fish," as it can he well bred in farm ponds and when of a certain age and weight forms as nutritive a food as can be desired. It multiplies easily on the American continent, as well in rives as in lakes and Knds, and will doubtless become a very valu able food, especiallly for those who are remote from localities where seaiish ars readily obtained. An interesting sign of the im portance which fish is beginning to assume in tbe food supply of the world is the exhibition to be held this year iu London. America will be very well represented at this exhibition, and Congress, proud of the success obtained in Berlin two years ago, voted $50,000 for expen es. This money will doubtless bring to. the country a large in crease of trade. Kew IJwue. Wilson Slftlnjss. Sometime in the evening twilight of the Seventeenth century of the grey dawn of the Eighteenth or thereabouts any way, there was lam ont in the Colonies of the Carolinians a Town ou flie Banks of the Rivers Neuse and Trent which the founders, Messrs. de Graft'enreid and Mitchell called Ncvbern. Not finding the thing to pan out as they anticipated these gentlemen let it drop; Mitchell leaving for the classic regions of Swill Creek, aud de Graft'enreid for Switzerland; not however, nntil he had planted the germ of a system that has grown mightily since that of Mortagaging the whole thing. Mr.PolJock, whose name has been perpetuated in one of the streets, being the mortgagee. Unlike tue morgagees oi tbe presr ent day Mr. Pollock never fore closed the mortgage nor are we at present aware of how he disposed of the valuable acqnsition but are inlormed tbat the dc Graffenreid heirs have within the last fifty years made expensive research to ascertain if the Equity Redemption was not still within their reach.and were deterred from pressing their claim on account of tbe dust of ages that had settled upon it. The name has been a subject of considerable debate and has furnish eqiopaior tnougnt, to many un employed minds and a coutrovtr- 8ial theme to many tougues in that venerable city. About the year eighteen hundred and fifty or thereabouts we are not making an Almanac a Litera ry paper published in Raleigh started the "story" that the place was orriginally named in honor of Berne in Switzerland by the Swiss settlers and therefore was undoubtedly New Berne. This was easily answered by the "old folks, bv a reference to the charter which was plainly spelled Ncichem. xauouai awu jacacp pontics xs ere "XT" a 1 1 Hi .

He was chief of Ktalf to his father in law diuiuy; the Mexican war, went on the retired list just before the late '"rebellion, " and then being un willing to light against his own coun trymen, resigned and went to Europe. He resides in New York. His father was the mos-t accomplished physiciuu of his day in North Carolina and resided first in Wilmington, then in New Berne, (where he married Miss Guion. an aunt of the late Hay weod Guiou, of this city LTlip remaining member of the iainily reside now in this city.

Chockowinitv has a new. roomy Aca demy. Farmers are busy everywhere putting out manure. The Watch-Tower and Dr. Suell will soon take charge of the upper Piory of tne Washington Bank. Dr. D. T. Taylor, of Washington, an oM and prominent physician, has been indisposed for several weeks, beini? eon. nnedto his room the larger portion ot the time. Mr. Allen, at Johnson's Mills, has a good school The people support it for ten months, aud believe in having a thorough graduate to teach even the smallest pupils. The friends of the Graded School propose to adopt the special bill for Washington on the day of election without previous wrangles through the press or on the street corners. Prof. Clias. Wilson has a class of thirty-six iu vocal music in Washing ton. The young people are having a good time, and also learning to sing. "Gin.vjer Blue'' is Prof. Bagley's favor ite. Judge Kodman, of the Inferior Court of Beaufort county, is confined to his room hy sickness, and has not been at his office in several weeks. It is feared that he will not be able to preside at the Inferior Court next month. Dr. Bryan, the ''Dutch-net'' man, says that Dr. Barker is the third smart est man he ever heard. The former is constantly asking where the latter ob tained so much information. Guess he has giv-n Dr. Bryan a complimentary chart. The Disciples of Beaufort county are taking active steps to build a church in Washington. Sheriff llodges, Seth Bridgman, Dr. Latham and others are on the building committee. The repu tation they have for business capacity is a strong guaranty of the house being completed at an early day. The no-fence law changes the ap pearance of tilings iu Lenoir and Greene. We could scarcely keep on the road often travelled before. Some of the farmers still keep up their fences: sup posed they are opposed to the law, or think the creeks and rivers may dry up and let the stock cross. The Rev. Mr. Augustus Latham has wonderful mechanical talent, as stated by Dr. Barker of your city, who has been making times lively around Wash ington by exposing the "hills and holes" on people's heads. We would not be surprised if he is about right, from Mr. Latham's persistent mquisitivencss around steam engines. Importance to Fanners. Neirsand Observer.
