CH.iJLLX3 EXOBT SMITH, of the Pailadelphia Prtt, if the Wkuhiog toa correspondent of the New York Wtrld tells the truth, has learned ia Washington that the Democrats ar Making op the ticket for 1SS.S and that GiBXI&ls of Kentucky and Dru oi Xex York will be the ticket. The. Democrats had better attend to other basin ees jast now. They most prove to the people that they ooght to succeed in 133. It ta time eooagh to disco as the can ditlates. s. '- Tux people of Pender county as snmbled at Borgav on Tnesdav of last week and adopted resolutions endorsing the Buub educational biQ. This was right and proper. The people in North Cajolitia need the) money for the education of their children. Some newspapers think the appropriation of money for this purpose by Congress will outrage the Constitution and degrade the people. The JoxJS5iL is not among the aamber. We do not under stand that the Built bill gives the National Government control of the public schools of the States. It Is for the purpose of aiding the schools, and no aane man iu North Caro lina, Mcqainted with the condition of oar public schools, will doubt that they need money. LKTTHEX ITiXE UP.

He emerges from his cove, gets a sheet of ioolscap and writes oa it a certificate of character and a petition lor an office. Every body signs it; they write down one page till it is full, and then, turning it over the other side is filled with names of people, who recommend him. He goes to the jowers that be and hands in his position. At the same time a drapper young dude, who wears a claw-hammer eoat and a hat with half an inch of brim, a fellow who knows nothing but who has "indooence" and con nections," applies for the same 1 office. Ot course L lawbam mer ge' s the office and Rusticus gets to come home with his petition a yard long. This is under the spoils sys tem. Under tbe merit system Kus tieas woald get the office so quick that Clawhammer's head would swim. lie would stand on his merits as a mau and show that he knew something and conld do some thing, while Clawhammer would show just the reverse." The illustration shows lamenta ble ignorance of the power of the Clawhammer dude." He can de ceive the civil service commission by answering their questions more glibly and readily than "Rusticus," and would carry off the pnze every ime.

In order ' make the matter d1.uu let us tiike t sro ie hool d i -d r.ct s for illustration: Here is N . 1 with aiity children, and there is No. with thirtv children. Sunixise the . DDortioned auder the old 1 Ut and there is oue dollar .iml ftltv 'cent f.r e.u!i chtld within the ,school age in the county. I;-rrn-t So. 1 would get Ulliety doll.irs and i woald be able to run a school from these to foar months, while No. 2 oald get forty live dollars ;ind could have a school from one to two months only Now the children in No. 2 district are entitled to the same school facilities as those iu Xo. 1; but by apportioning the hide fund per capita they get only half me lacunar-. an.a-, iuf law says apportion two thirds of the .-nii- rr -intt:i iti.l itinorfjon the Luvut.j f - -- --II Other third iu such maimer, not yrr capita, as will equalize the schools in district . 1 and J. The board of edueatwu oi Craven county apportioned the whole fund per capita, the majority of the Itoanl being UDder the impression that the schools were about as near equal as they coald ge' them, bat the chair man, a lawyer ot unquestioned abil ity, holds the view that we have given above. If we understand the law, the county board of education is not bound to reserve the one-third fund; they have the power to do if, and under certain circumstance it is their duty to do it. For instance if the board knows ibe fact that there is a district iu theouauty that gets money enough to run a school only oue month in the year while au adjoining district, or a district any where in the county, is drawing money euoagh to maintain a four months school, or longer, ia the ear, then it ia unquestionably the duty of the board to reserve the one third fund in order to equalize these schools. Not ouly does the law em power them to do it, but justice and fairness to children of the sparsely settled districts demand that it be done. If the reserve fund is to be dis tributed per capita, as some seem to think, there is no seuse in re serving it. The whole might a.s well be apportioned at once. We think it an ea.sy matter for the boards of education, with the assn tance oi the coanty 8Uierintendent., to ascertain tbe weak districts and equalize the schools as the law re quires. hisjiasauphkv r asm extrava gance.

Alas, alas, iihvs." TI1K TELEPUOE Ml IH)b. The New York Y11 h ws sue ceeded iu working up a sensation ovei the Pan Klectric Telephone stock held by Attorney General GARLAND and several V. S. Sena tors. That paper reports that the lmitcachmeut of Mr. Oakland is seriously I bought of in Washington and at all events he must either get rid of the stock in this concern or leave the Cabinet. Mr. Oakland received this stotk several vcarx ago, when he had no idea ol ever being at the head of the Depart ment ol Justice, and. certainly not the leatd idea that he would, in his present ositioii, have to conduct a suit on the part of the Government against a rival company Finding himself iu litis attitude, he re!u.-es to have anvlhing to do with the suit, bnt leaves its prosecution in the hands of Solicitor General Goi'PH. Put Le was a Senator at the lime he received this stock, and the propriety of a Senator or Representative of Congress receiv ing stoek in any sjH'culative scheme which might require legislation or Government aid at their hands is certainly a doubtful one. We all rememlKT with what vigor the Democratic palters throughout the laud assailed mem Iters ol ( engross who held stock in the Credit Mo bdier su indlc. They cannot, to be oousuteut, do less now. when lead nig le:n .iTat.s are found engaged in a bu-iue.-.-. a Iii. ii, though it may not be s-.un'.ar t . the Credit Mo. bdier affair, leit.nniv involves the same principle. The following ar ticle liom the Baltimore Sun, we think present.- the ca.-e properlv : The fact that all or ne.nl ail 1'nited States Senators own bank, railroad, telegraph, telephone, elec trie lighting, ga, maiiutacturing for other stocks, the value of which will be more or less affected bv their votes in the Senate, is eer- tainly to be regretti In this re sped tue morals ot our puuncmen in Imth houses of Congress are sorely in need of amendment. There are ol course stocks and stocks, The holder ot stock in an old and well established enterprise, w inch has no tavors to a,-k, occupies oh- viously a position different from that of a subscriber to a new com pany whoso sole chance of making profits lies in getting favors from Congress.

I here :s a just demand that secret sess lOlP shall be abolished altogether. There is a prev ailing impression, though it dots not often liud ex pies.-ion. that the Senate possesses too much power, and H would be come it to modify such a sentiment as much a- possi.de in d l -cou I inn ing a p i act i ce that pu s un pleasant ! on the national sensibilities. The "L'jipei" House is the least demo cratic of our institutions. Senators d not come directly from the peo ple, are not truly i i-pi e-i-n at i v e w ith left leuce to population, ale elected for terms of ,-ix vears. and hence, have less legaid for t heir coustltll- ' en'.-' vvi.-hes than the inembeis of' the I. nvt-r House. They have special powers of continuing ap pointments, making treaties and of trviiig '.lie high officers of the Gov ernment on impeachment. And one of the principal reasons lor the creation ol their body w ;is to act as a check upon what was feared would be the too democratic, character of the representative branch. They have a maximum ot power and a minimum id' accouutabilit v. And this is not a situation to be intensi fied by secret sessions. Liberty is founded on publicitv and the greatest feasible amount of accountability on the part of public men. Seencv in government;! processes is almost invariably in au mver-e ratio to the freedom of the j. p.. pie concerned. We want none ol it. We want access to public place.- and public tilings. We want to understand public affairs and discuss them. As Sydney Smith savs, there are no political discussion.- in Tin kev . no criticisms on the Government, but it is a land full of revolts and insurrections. K.ulroad directors hold secret ses sums; so do the guardian.- oi Mor monism. Hut there is nothing in the history of men of t he.-e descrip tions or iu governmental secieey ol any kind to warrant tin' closing of the doors of the American Senate. A". Y. World.

Across the beautiful bay from the city of Marseilles is the famous Isle d'lf, on which is the prison which Dnm.is made famous by his immor tal romance of Monte Cristo. As everywhere else, the people now in charge of the island and the disused prison have made the most of the celebrity that Dumas's great work gave the place. They have selected two dungeons as the identical ones occupied by the abbe and Dantes. They dug the hole between them, and you are shown the cells and the in1 ve pemrig as tlioiiL'h the ereat were a historical tact instead of a revelation of the most wonder-j ty.

As it was used as a garrison of State during the old nyiine, and by I lie republic after wards, a great many tragedies have taken place within its walls, which still show mementos. Mirabeau was confined here lor a long time: a biot her of the King of Poland was here for tweuty years till death re lieved him, ''detained," as the rec ords sav. "bv renuest of the kiinr."

On this, the tint of the wall shows bright and clear, with effective shadows and it has nothing of the cold hard look of a very smooth surface, or of hard finish. .'o doubt, the healthiest sin lace that living and sleeping rooms can have, is whitewash or a tinted lime wash, often renewed. We eanuot all conveniently white wash the walls ol'tener than once a year, though many, in fact, of our old fa.-hioned farmer folks adhere to the old custom of regularly cleaning house twice, and, as the special healthful effect of the lime I.i-ts only a few weeks at most, we should not regard this feature to the exclusion of others. If one has a mason to do it, ouly the pictures and decorations need be taken from the walls, aud the carpet or floor covered near them. Rough finished w;ills are treated with thin lime washes, tinted of any desirable color. The masons, now-a-days, nave ways of preparing these washes, using dry colors in them They slake the lime very smooth, and thicken it with smooth flour (taste, aud add salt, and perhaj)s other things to it. It does not rub off", nor peel, like kalsomine, nor does it perceptibly alter the rough surface of the wall. When kalso mine is used, the wall, if an old one, must have all the loose lime well scraped off, and be sized thor oughly with glue water, before the wash is applied. Kalsomino is made ot glue, Paris white, and dry color lor tinting. In selecting tints for (tailor, sitting-room, and bed rooms, delicate or warm neutral tints should be preferred; especially avoid grays, which are cold colors. A in triea n Agrieulturi.it. Cheap. peace is A iural justice of th usually a man ot good sense Hid judgment. He may not know much law, but the community trusts him to do substantial justice between man and man. even if he violates legal technicalities. L'ncle Johuny W oodman, ol Sumner county. West Virginia, knew more about farmiug than he did about books, but he was honest and shrewd, and his common sense never failml him. His neighbors elected him Justice of the Peace, and not long after his appointment he gave them an illus tration of the fact that ;i bad name will make a man suspected when appearances are never so slightly against him.
