A friend, who is a Bible reader, fur nishes us with the following bit of in formation which is worth pasting in the scrap book: The learned Prince of Grenada, heir to the Spanish throne, imprisoned by order of the Crown for fear he should aspire to the throne, was kept in soli tary confinement, in the old prison at the place of Skulls, Madrid. After thirty-three years, in this living tomb death came to his release, and the fol lowing remarkable researches taken from the Bible, and marked with an old nail on the rough wall of his cell, told how the brain sought employment through the weary years. In the Bible the word Lord is found 1,853 times: the word Jehovah 6,855 times; the word Reverend but once, and that in the 9th verse of CXI Psalm. Tho Sth verse of CVII Psalm is the middle verse of the Bible. The 9th verse of VIII chapter Esther is the longest. The 35th verse XI chapter St. John is the shortest. In the CVII Psalm four verses are alike the 8th, 15th, 21st, 31st. Each verse of the CXXXVI Psalm ends alike. No names or words with more than six syllables are found in the Bible. The XXXVII chapter of Isaiah and XIX ohapter of 2nd Kings are alike. The word girl 'occurs but once in the Hibie, and that in the 3rd verse of chapter III of Joel. There are found in both books of the Bible 3,580,483 letter;, 773,093 words, 31,373 verses, 1,18a chapters and books. The aoth chapter of the Acts of the Apostles is the finest chapter to read. The most beautiful chapter in the Bible is the XXIII Psalm. The four most inspiring promises are John, chap ter XIV, verse 2nd, John chapter 0th, verse 37th, St. Matthew XI, verse 28th and Psalms ohapter XXXVII, verse 4th. The 1st verse of the LX . chapter of Isaiah is the one for new converts. All who flatter themselves with vain boast- ings'of their perfection should learn the VI ohapter of St. Matthew. All human ity should learn the VI chapter of St. Luke, from the HUtn verse to its ending Professor D. B. Johnson. A correspondent of the National Jour nal of Education, who has been travel ing South, spent some time at Columbia. S. C, and after giving a description of the work done, in the publio schools of that city by Prof. D. B. Johnson, who will ever be remembered in New Berne as the man who so ably'and suc cessfully organized and superintended our Graded School in its infancy, says: "Does some one ask. What of all this? Are there not hundreds of 'schools all over the country of which asmuch might be said? Listen and hear the what of it. These public schools in Columbia are but two years old. When- one considers that, the growth and riDeness of the undertaking is little. less than marvelous. A Northern or West ern Superintendent has, not much idea of the difficulties of such anjundertak- ing, where work has to be done with one hand and publio sentiment created with the other. The financial part alone is a problem enough for one man to solve. And the.teachersl Consider for a moment their want of familiarity with publio schools, the current of all their former lives turned in other directions, and the all-powerful effect of custom and early influence. Then to face com pletely about often stepping from high social I positions, and enter the public school room with, such a willingness to learn, and suoh an energy in mastering methods and principles, that it becomes a pleasure to help them, and you have the gret mass of . Southern teachers, challenging one's admiration and even the competition of our best teachers in the other ' parte of the country. The teaohine ability ia this Southland urges the necessity of training sonoois in every City of sufficient (size. : When Columbia shall have added ,tnis ionnaation-wora to her other "building for the children," then shall the superstructure stand firm as a rock, Supplying its. own demands. Then Bhall its increasing army of chil dren, already amounting to nearly 1, 400, be taken up in the heights by a skilled leadership of whichlany" city might justly be proud." -i A'correspondent of.the Unicago.iwnes who has . also been traveling South, writing up reminiscenoes of (the recon struction ; epoch, and gathering facts on the"educatioa of the negro by the Damocracy, took ia Columbia : and visited the schools. He says: : THE BOOTH CAROLINA .SCHOOLS are organized on a peculiar plan, by which each incorporated city ia a law unto itself, and Columbia is probably ahead of any other city in the State. This is due to tht admirable work of Prof. David B. Johnson,viho was invited here three years ago from Memphis to organ ize tne school lie nas not only to make the schools, but to make a sentiment to BUBtain.them, and he has done both so well that nowrin their third yearjhey are the pnae of the,city, ana opposition has practically ceased. It is a pleasure to note the success of one who served New Berne so accept ably, and it will doubtless be a pleasure to him to know that the Graded School in New Berne which he helped to organize and felt such a deep interest in, is still flourishing and doing good work.

House. April 15. Mr. Will, of O.. from the Committee on Territories, re ported a bill for the organization of the Territory of Oklahoma. Placed on the calendar. Mr. Cobb, of Indiana, from the Com mittee on Publio lands, reported a bill repealing the pre-emption timber cul ture and desert land laws. Placed on the calendar. Senate bills were passed extending to Key West and Tampa, Fla., the provis ions of the law relative to the immedi ate transportation of dutiable goods. At the expiration of the moraine hour the Houee went into a committee of the whole on the river and harbor appropri ation bill. All general debate on the bill being limited to two hours and a half Mr. Willis, of Ky., briefly reviewed and explained the provisions of the bill which he contended called for no appropriation which was not demanded by the interests of the country. A most critical scrutiny of the measure would show that rivers and harbors enumer ated in it were worthy of improvement and were of public importance. Mr. Hepburn, of ! Iowa, characterized some of the appropriations as prodigal, wastelul, and throwing away of the peoples' money. He especially opposed the Galveston harbor appropriation, on tha ground that the plan for the im provement rf that lharbor had been shown to be defective. He also criti cised that appropriation for the lower Mississippi river. Mr. Jones, of Ala., replied to what he termed blank cart ridge attacks made on a bill whose ob ject it was to furnish cheap transporta tion for people. After some further dis cussion of this nature the bill was read by sections for amendments, and some little progress was made before the oommittee rose. The (House then, at 5:20, adjourned. senate Mr. Logan took the . floor in support of open executive sessions. He preferred his own resolution, he said, because it provided broadly for open sessions on all matters of nominations and confirmations, without going into a history of secret sessions. Mr. Logan would simply .promise by saying that there was not now, and never was any necessity for secret sessions of the Sen ate. It was nearly 2 o'clock when the secret session discussion ended; the re mainder of the time until 2 o'clock was consumed in a wrangle on the Pension bill. At 2 o'clock the Inter State Com merce bill came up, and Mr. Camden secured the floor to speak on it He at once yielded, however, to Mr. (Morgan, who according to the notice given yes terday, moved that the Senate proceed to the consideration of executive busi ness. The motion being agreed to, the Senate at 2:12 o'elock went into execu tive session; at 5:45 the fdoors were re opened and the Senate adjourned. The Order of the Iron Hall Is an organization for the purpose of furnishing to its members a fund from which they can draw during sick ness 525.00 per week, and which agrees to pay members holding certifi cates for seven years one thousand dol lars.
