The objections to our common schools were reviewed and fully an­ swered. Seldom has it been our for­ tune to listen to a lecture more con­ vincing and pleasing. The speaker had made hltaself to thoroughly familiar with his theme that he could not Tail to interest his audicnce. ( New! * *^3 -A - •> STOCK, <IUST RECIEVED -AT- Maiman's oiiOTHma ; :* A curious fact has recently been dis­ coid red by French scientists, to wit, that the venom of serpents is not a product peculiar to poisonous reptiles, but ft Is an Intensified condition of ordinary salivi. Further investiga­ tion showed that the saliva of human beings, is capable, in certain instances, of constituting a virulent poison. We all know that there are many well authenticated cases on record of death resulting from the bites of animals not oridnarily considered venomous--cats, for Instance; and instances have been known in which a bite from a human being has been followed by death from poisoning, just as would have been the case with some venomous reptile.-- Violent agitation, it has been observed, seems to impart this fatal quality to the saliva of man or animals, and M. Pasteur has recently "cultivated" the poison of the linnian saliva to stish a point as to develop the toxic symp­ tom? of the serpent-poisons in email birds. Even In its normal conditiou saliva is said to be akin tb poison, one •f its functions being to destroy the molecular life of the substance eaten. It is thought that all violent agitation mud exertion involves an abnormal waste of tissue and an excessive pro­ duction of the principle which renders faliva poisonous. The following taken Tfroro the {Charleston Plaindealer contains much troth and good sense. Many critics think our school have a tendency to teach children to despise labor. We do not think so. The problem of our day is to elevate work ojr educating and thus elevating the workman. The masses are learning that mere muscle is weak, that brains help the hands in all work, that knowl­ edge multiplies the value and pro­ ductive powers of muscular efforts. If knowledge is power, ignorance is waste and weakness: What a man is, stamps an In press ou what he do*s, even in the humblest forms of industry. The O iaraeter of the work depends upon the workman. Whatever elevates the laborer improves his labor. In propor­ tion as you degrade the operative, •ven to the degree of serf or slave, J»u depreciate ids work. You can ignify work therefore, in no way so s<irely as by elevating the workman.-- The wealth and welfare of individuals aad states, always depend on labor.and these can be most fully secured otdy by •ducated labor. If rightly conducted, our schools, so far from breeding dis­ content with the humblest pursuits. Will prepare for success in the ordinary callings ef life. . Why should not an educted man liake a better ditch digger than one Who cannot read? Why should not the '"sweet girl graduate" make a bet- tar seamstress or laundress than one who can not write her name® If Children learn to despise manual labor, the cause should be sought elsewhere than in onr system of public education. It may Oe a result of home training, 01 tt may be the mature fruits of youth­ ful street loafing and idleness. That aehools can counteract all the evil in- Alienees of the home and street, is not to be expected. The odds are too ^ jffeat. it i« one against many. AT WAUCONDA.
