Monopoly of Education.
Knowledge should be dispensed to all. Like
the breezes of morn and the smiles of the sun, it
should bless alike the prince and the peasant,
the millionaire and the laborer. Meaner things
may be monpolized by a class—money may be
the* portion of those who disdain the poor
honor may immortalize the fortunate aspirants
to fame —luxury and ostentation may be enjoy
ed by the moneyed aristocracy —the mass of
men mat’ be denied these “meaner things; ’
but let none be denied the light of the soul!
Be the wealth of intellect and the luxury ot
thought diffused among the many! 13e the
Perian waters as free as the dews ot heaven—
plentiful as the sparkling ot the singing rill 1 Let
the flowers of classic fields—the gems of Parnas
sus—the fruits of an hundred harvests matured
and garnered —the bliss of man’s higher nature
—the inalienable birth-rights of created intelli
gences, be yours and ours—a common boon.
There was a time when bolts and bars ex
cluded men from the temple of science—when
ouiy the sons of the rich could enter academic
gates and enjoy the “ feast of reason but a
golden key is no longer essential to gain admis
sion there. The common school system tenders
the means of knowledge to all. It offers the
best kind of schools to the indigent, the father
less—the most benighted of the young. It
gives “without money and without price” to the
poor, a privilege, which once cost a fortune.
Let us not underrate the privilege, because it
is so cheap. Let us not give our free schools a
place below pay schools, because the mushroon
aristocracy denounce them as inferior. The
truth is , public schools have the advantage over
;private schools. They can maintain more uni
formity, better classification, and consequently,
each scholar can receive more attention and
more oral instruction.
Let us be understood. A teacher in a private
school, with twenty or thirty scholars, must di
vide his time in teaching the alphabet and the
classics as the two extremes, with every science
from orthography to astronomy included, Tom
Tidlum goes to this school to study “the three
IPs'’—and what is the result ? Why the teach
ercan give but forty minutes per day, all told,
to Thomas ! Now, let the lad enter the public
schools of New Orleans or Lafayette, lie is
-examined, placed with a class exactly his equals,
taught six hot’rs per day, by a teacher who
hears one grade of scholars, and none other.
Now, these public schools cost a great deal of
money, but they do not cost the abject poor,
one cent. Every father, then, can give his son
or daughter a good education. Formerly the
greatest anxiety on the mind of the poor man,
was expressed in the question, “ How shall I
educate my children ?” Since a way is bounti
fully provided, no parent lias a moral right to
deny his offspring the bread of the soul—the
light of reason, lie should do his part towards
ameliorating the condition of his family, lie
should do his part towards equalizing classes,
and rendering the poor as happy and influential
as the rich.
What boots it, man of money, though your
linen be of a finer texture, and your vehicle
more gorgeously gilded than that of your neigh
bor, who, clad in tow, drives his wagon to the
public market; what boots it, we say, if the
mind of the latter be equal to yours ? Perhaps
it is transcendantiy superior; as much more
brilliant than yours, as your jewels excel his
pewter buttons; perhaps it is polished, disci
plined, refined ; perhaps it feeds him with the
luxury of thought and excites him as a spicy
nectar; perhaps it animates his song at his
toil, and cheers him at his fireside, lie is not pos
sessed of his lands ; but the whole landscape is
his, administering to his happiness, “ ever
charming ever new.”

Mechanism,
About five hundred years before Christ a
hundred oxen were sacrificed to commemorate
the discovery of a principle combining the prop
erties of a triangle and square. The sacrifice of
a hundred oxen is called a hecatomb. The
proposition presenting this principle is hence
called the “ Hecatomb Problem.’’ It is called
the “Carpenter's Theorem,” from the fact that
carpenters make special use of it in squaring
their buildings and determining many other
points about their work. It is constantly
brought into use by architects, engineers, sur
veyors, navigators, and numerous other classes
of business men. In colleges this principle is
known by the title “Asses Bridge,” grounded
on the supposition that the student who gets
well over it by a satisfactory demonstration, has
proved himself to be not quite the most stupid
animal in the world. It is also known among
students by the somewhat more genteel title
“ Old Forty-seventh being the forty-seventh
proposition of the first book of Euclid.
If the principle referred to warranted a heca
tomb for its commemoration at the time of its
discovery, it must at this age of the world at
least deserve a place as a subject of instruction
ip a course of practical business education,
If squares be drawn on the three sides of any
right-angled triangle, the square upon the
longest side is in all cases precisely equal in sur
face to the sum of the squares on the other tw o
sides. This presents the proposition, and em
braces the principle referred to. The largest
side, in all cases is opposite the right angle.
The two sides containing the right angle may be
equal, or they may vary infinitely. The varia
tion does not affect the principle,always w ith the
proviso that the figure contains one right angle.
To illustrate by a particular case. Suppose
the side opposite on the right is ten inches:
those containing the right angle are eight and
six inches. The square of the first will of course
contain one hundred square inches; squares of
the latter will contain sixty-four and thirty-six
square inches ; the sum also one hundred. This
case show s precisely the plan of carpenters of
squaring their buildings. By measuring from
a corner on one sill eight, feet, and, on the other
six feet, the distance between the extreme points
of the two lines will be made precisely ten feet,
no more, no less, if the building be exactly
square. The length of braces, rafters, and other
parts of buildings required by the general plan,
may also be determined with perfect exactness
by the “ Old Forty-seventh.’’
As great as is the importance of this princi
ple to various departments of science, and to
almost every useful art, in a college course a
single modeonlv of demonstrating it is frequent
ly adopted, and that an abstraction.
A native of “Down East” describing with
characteristic exaggeration the remarkable pro
perties of guano, as a promoter of vegetation
said that a few hours after planting cucumber
seed the dirt began to fly, the vines came up
like a streak, and although he started of at the
top of his speed, the vines overtook him and
covered him—and taking out his knife to cui
the plaguy things, he found a large cucumber
gone to seed in one of his pockets.
We read in a Sheffield paper that “the last
polish to a piece of cutlery is given by the hand

cutlery, the “last polish” to a young blaue is giv

“SELLING” A FELLOW.
Last summer, while engaged in the tobacco
and segar business, l used to have for a custo
mer in cheap segars one of those knowing fel
lows whose knowledge serves better to bore
his victims than advancing science. You
couldn’t make him believe that—oh no! Tell
him there were regalia segars that cost S4O
per thousand ?—it might do to stuff down the
throats of those who knew no better; he was
none ofthem. And so it was with everything;
he always knew best It always appeared to
be his delight to draw me into some controver
sy, no matter what the subject, in order to
hear himself hold forth. I tried every way I
could think of to circumvent him, and at length
I did succeed in laying him out as flat as a
flounder.
It was on a Saturday afternoon, he came in,
made his purchase, and seated himself to deal
me out his usual portion ! but I was awake for
him.
“Captain, ’ said I, ‘T have made up my
mind to go to California, and, if you wish to
go into a speculation, now is your time.,'’
“As how]” said he.
“\\ hy, you see them fifteen boxs of segars?
well, there are two hundred and fifty in each
box, and I will let you have the whole fifteen
at a low rate, providing you take them all.”
‘•Very well,” said my friend, “let’s hear the
conditions.”
“You give me one cent for the first box, two
for the second, four cents for the third, and so
on double upon every box.”
“Done!” said he; “fetch on your segars,
pose you think i haven’t monev enough—
eh?”
“'Not at all, so let’s proceed; here’s the first
box.”
lie drew from his pocket a leathern purse,
and out ot it a handful of coin.
“And here’s the cent,” said he, depositing a
green discoloured copper on the counter.
“Here’s your second box.”
“And here’s your two cents.”
“\ ery well, here’s your third box.”
“And here’s your four cents,” said he, chuck
ling.
Here’s your fourth box.’!
“Exactly, and here’s your eight cents! Ila!
ha! ha! old fellow—go on!”
“Here’s your fifth box,” said I, handing
down another.
“And here’s your sixteen cents,”
“Hhere’s your sixth box.”
“And—ha! ha! —here’s your thirty-two
cents.”
“Here’s your seventh box.’’
“And here—ha! by Jove the joke is getting
too rich—here’s your sixty-four cents, and
nearly half your segars are gone.”
‘‘Here’s your eighth box,” said I, assuming
a cool indifference that perfectly astonished the
fellow.
“And here’s your dollar and twenty-eight
cents.”
“Here’s your ninth box.”
“And here’s your—let me see—ah! two
dollars and fifty-six cents.”
“Here’s your tenth box.”
Here he drew his wallet thoughtfully, and on
the slate made a small calculation.
“And here’s your five dollars and twelve
cents.”
“Here’s your eleventh box.’’
“And here’s your—twice five is ten, twice
twelve is twenty-four—ten dollars and twenty
four ceuts.”
“At this stage of the game he had got quite
docile, and I continued—
“ Here’s your twelfth box, hand over twenty
dollars and forty-eight cents,”
Here the globules of perspiration, large as
marrow-fat peas, stood out in hold relief on his
face, but at length he doled out the sum.
“Ilere’slyour thirteenth box—fork over your
forty dollars and ninety six cents.”
At this crisis he looked perfectly wild. The
sweat was pouring offliim in streams, and the
tobacco juice was running out of his mouth,
“F-o-r-t-y n i-u-e-t-y-s-i-x. If Ido I do, but
if ldo I will be hanged, I will.”
Foncault’srrintingMacliiiicfor the Blind.
In a recent notice of the proceedings of the
Paris Society for the encouragement of Arts,
tfcc. we mentioned that a medal had been award
ed to Foucault for an invention, by which the
blind are enabled to communicate their ideas
by writing, or rather printing. A gold medal
was also awarded to M. Foucault, by the jury
at the Paris Exposition, in 1849, on which oc
casion the instrument was first exhibited.
‘ln order fully to appreciate,’say the jury,
in their report on this machine, ‘the great im
portance of this valuable invention, we have
but to think of the great length of time which
has elapsed since the want of such machine
has been felt, and the number of experiments
which M. Foucault must have performed, to
have enabled him to overcome the numerous
difficulties with which he had to contend.
‘ Many efforts, and those too deserving of the
highest praise, have from time to time, been
made, in order to enable the blind to corres
pond with those to whom the faculty of sight
has been granted.
‘ The dependence, sometimes dangerous, and
always embarrassing, on the hand of another,
to communicate their ideas in writing, is now,
thanks to the discovery of M. Foucault, render
ed unnecessary. Os all the methods adopted
to give graphic expression to the ideas of the
blind, M. Foucault has chosen the one which
may be considered as the simplest and most per
fect. In fact, by the use of this machine, the
blind are even more favorably circumstanced
than those who are able to see, inasmuch, as
they are enabled to write without having learn
ed how to form a single letter. All that is re
quired is, to know how to read by the touch, in
order to be capable of expressing their ideas in
an eminently legible manner, since all the let
ters are in typographic characters.
‘The process employed to obtain this inter
esting result is as follows: All the letters of
the alphabet, executed in relief, and of large di
mensions, are fixed in the upper extremity of
a metafile rod, made to slide longitudinally,
with a suitable contiguous canal; they are
placed on the same plane, and in the form of
a vane, each of them exhibiting on its lower
part, the same letter as on its upper part. This
letter, of a small size, is exactly of a printing
character. The mechanical arrangement is such,
that all the letters converge towards the same
point, and on being successively pressed by the
fingers, the impress of each becomes placed
above, forming only a black mass ; but when
ever a letter is touched, the paper by the same
movement, changes its place, and thus the writ
ing, or rather printing is produced, which is at
the same time distinct, well arranged, and prop
erly spaced. When the line is finished, the pa
per changes place in a perpendicular direction
to the former, and the operation is renewed.
4 In addition to this, a series of types, form
ing ciphers, and all the supplementary marks
used in writing, is placed in the same way, and
in a plane convergent with the former; the
general arrangement being, that all the types,
whatever their order may have been at first, set
th-air impress on the same point. M. Foucault
prefers the use of tracing paper, such as is em
ployed in copying machines. The manipula
ti on is extremely simple, and admits of great
i apidity of execution.’
The jury concluded by complimenting M.
Foucault, (who himself is blind,) on the great
mccess which has crowned his long continued
efforts to promote the great philanthropic ob
ject of teaching the blind to write. It appears
that he has been engaged for several years in
the construction and perfecting of his machine,
I which, by his latest improvements, appears to
■have attained a degree of perfection almost un
looked for. M. Foucault’s machine is shown
in the French department of the Londou Exhi
bition.

some quarter of a mile distant. Her request
was complied with, and after the barn yard was
reached, the old lady informed the teamster
that she only wanted a cent's worth for hen's

WILLOUGHBY’S TELEGRAPH
WATER CARRIER.
r IMIIS Machine is constructed by stretching a wire
.1. from the house to the spring or well, and sup
porting it by poles similar to the Telegraph. A small
car is then made to ran on the wire by means of a cord
and wheel. The wheel is placed in some convenient
situation near the kitchen, or on the porch if desired,
and by ail ingenious arrangement of machinery, a
bucket that will contain from three to six gallons, or
more if required, can bo sent and returned full of wa
ter a distance of three hundred yards in two minutes.
This machine lias been pronounced by persons who 1
have witnessed its operation in every portion of the
country, where it has been exhibited, the most inge
nious, simple, and generally practicable machine for
raising and conveying water ever invented.
It possesses many advantages over other machines
used for conveying water, some of which are as fol
lows :
1. The water is conveyed from the fountain to
the place desired in a few seconds without passing
through either wooden or metallic pipes, in which it is
generally acknowledged that it loses much of that
freshness and purity it possessed at the fountain.
2. The practicahilty of adapting it to any situation,
(it requiresno head or fall,; either over level ground,
across br niches, roads or ravines, and up the most rug
ged hills to any required height.
3. The small amount of labor required for their eroa
tion ; their non-liability to get out of repairs, combin
ed with their cheapness, which is about one-half the
usual cost of most any other hydraulic machines in
use ; makes it one of the most desirable means of rais
ing and conveying water known.
This machine can be used with equal facility for
raising all kinds of materials used in the erection of
buildings.

convulsive fits, which continued to increase on her, notwith
standing all the efforts of some of our best Mineral Doctors
in this region. Deeming the case hopeless with them, Icon
eluded to carry her to Macon and put her under the treatment
of Dr. M. S. Thomson, who gave her medicine some two or
three months, which stopped them for about 18 months, at
which time they returned with increased violence, so severe,
indeed, that I and an eminent physician in the neighborhood de
spaired of her life. Under these circumstunces the Doctor a
gain advised me to call on Dr. Thomson, which I did and ob
tained a portion of medicine, which, I am pleased to be able to
say entirely cured her. The last she had continued from some
7to 9 hours or more and was very severe, but they have not
recurred since, a period of over three years.
Given under my hand and seal,this 21st November 1850.

Fits cured without seeing the Patient!!
Jones Cos. Ga. 7th Feb. 1851.
This may certify that my negro woman Martha, (now be
longing to Ferdinand Finney,) was severely attacked with Ep
ilepsy, or convulsive fits in 1847, which continued to return
every week or two, and sometimes continued on her for a
week at a time, during which she would have as many asfor
ty or fifty on a stretch, before stopping. Inthis state she con
tinued for a whole year, notwithstanding all Dr. ltidley of
Hillsboro, could do. Despairing at last of his success, and
hearing of the unpraielled cures effected by Dr. M. 8. Thom
son of Macon, I concluded to call on him, which I did, and
gave him her symptoms when he prepared and gave me med
icine, which in about two months entirely cured her, as she
has had none since and is now perfecly healthy, thus adding
another to the many cures the Doctor has effected without
seeing the patient.

Syphilis, Rheumatism & Liver Complaint
Cured without seeing the Patient!
Jones Cos. Ga. 21st. Sept. 1850.
Dr. JU. S. Thomson —Dear Sir: Your success has beenj
such in curing my son of Rheumatism and my negro woman
of liver disease, Rheumatism, Syphilis &c. that 1 cannot re
frain from giving you the credit that is due you, for your
skill, and if you think that a statement of the cases will be
any use in directing other sufferers, to the proper remedies,
the following relation of facts is at your disposal.
Some 14 years ago, my negro woman Rhody was tak.’n in
a lingering way, supposed to be caused from Syphilis, treated
by herself, which on discovering, I pat her under the. care
of several mineral physicians, Drs. Little and White of Mil
ledgeville, especially, who after mercurializing her a year or
so, left her worse than they found her, laboring in addition
under Mercurial Rheumatism.
I then applied to Dr. Woodruff, who treated, and I thought
cured her, hut after a while, she became worse again, so
much so that I despaired of relieving her. Under these cir
cumstances I applied to you, and 1 am pleased to be able to
report, that notwithstanding it is a long time ago, she has had
no return of her disease since, but is now doing me very good
service.
The case of my son was one of Mercurip.l Rhematism ari
sing from salivation for a fover. After keeping lingering for
three or four years, and getting worse all the time, till his
limbs were drawn and stiffened very much; notwithstanding
all that wecoulddo, he continued thus, till we applied to you
when yon soon relieved him, andl am happy to be able to re
port that consider bun relieved cured, and lias been so twelve
months.
In conclusion, dear sir, go on and prosper, you may have ene.
mies, as who that is any account has not, but success in curing
such desperate cases must bear you up, and that your success
may be commensurate with your merits is the earnest wish of
yours truly, GIIJLIS WRIGHT.
The undersigned continues his treatment of all manner of
chronic forms of disease, through the mail, the facilities of
which have been much enhanced since the introduction of
the cheap postage system, which will be greatly increased by
the recent Act of Congress.
The attlicted, no matter yvhere they reside, by sending a
statement of the symptoms of their cases in writing, may
have Medicines to suit them compounded and sent, and might
count upon receiving it with the same certainty that they
would a letter. That they can bj cured withont a personal
interview and examination, is strange, but that hundredsare
thus cured, is no more strange than true.
In order that all, the poor as well as the rich, may enjoy the
benefits resulting from his treatment, the subscriber puts his
terms at the low rate of live dollars monthly, cash or good re
ference, to all those who are able to pay, and freely and grat
uitously to those who are not, provided they pay their postage.
His Infirmary is open for the reception of Negroes; and for
other cases requiring his personal attention, City accommoda
tions are ample.
lie still continues the treatment of acute cases, in town or
in the immediate surrounding country, but cannot leave the
city to go long distances except in cases of most urgent neces
sity. Being possessed of some of the latest improvements in
surgical apparatus, he is prepared to treat fractures,disloca
tions, &c. in a manner superior to the plans usually adopt
ed and calculated to succeed in many instances when these
would inevitably fail.

Jew David’s or Hebrew Plaster,
J’lli: GREAT REMEDY,
For Rheumatism , Gout , Pain in the Side, Hi V ,
Hick, Jjimbs and Joints, Scrofula, King's
Evil, White Swellings, Hard Tumors, Stiff
Joints and all fixed Pains whatever. Where
this Plaster is applied Pain cannot exist.
FgpHESE PLASTERS possess the advantage ol
being put up in air-tight boxes—hence they
retain their full virtues in all climates.
Have you friends going to California?
By all means advise them to take along a supply
ol this plaster, it may save them hundreds of dol
lars, if not their lives, as the exposures which they
have to endure in the mines is sure to bring on dis
ease, which might be easily cured by the use of
this celebrated plaster, for the want of which ma
ny have been obliged to quit their labors and fall
into the hands of the pysicians, who, by their ex
travagantly high charges, soon takeaway the hard
earnings of the bravest laboring man. By sleeping
I in tents or on the ground, Rheumatism, Spinal Dis
ease, Stiff Joints, Lame Back or side, and all like
diseases, are sure to trouble them, and many times
entirely lay them up, when the simple application
of thiv plaster would give them immediate relief,
and enable them to proceed with their labors with
out delay.
It has been very beneficial in cases of weakness,
such as Pain and Weakness in the stomach, weak
Limbs, Affections of the Spine, Female Weakness,
&c. No female, subject to pain and weakness in
the back or side, should be without it. Married
ladies,in delicate situations, find great relief from
constantly wearing this Plaster.
The application of the Plaster between the shoul
ders has been found a certain remedy for Colds,
Coughs. Phthisic, and Lung Affections, in their
primary stages, it destroys inflammation by perspi
ra ion.
1 Voice from Georgia.
Real the following testimony from a Physician.
Gentlemen:—Your Hebrew Plaster has cured
me of pains of which I have suffered for twelve
years p,st. During this period I labored under an
affliction of my loins and side, and tried many re
medies tint my own medical experience suggested,
but withdit obtaining relief. At length I used your
Plaster, md am now by its good effects entirely
cured. Will recommend the Jew David or He
brew Placer to all who are suffering from contrac
tion of the, muscles, or permanent pains in the side
cr back.
The people of Georgia have but to become ac
quainted ft’ith its virtues when they will resort to
its use. Yours, truly,

Messrs. Scovil & Mead: I have been troubled
with the cfronic rheumatism for the last twelve
years. On th e igtof July, 1849,1 was so bad that
I could not turn myself in bed, and the pain so se
vere that I had not slept a wink for six days. At
this time my attending physician prescribed the
Hebrew Plasters,’ and it acted like a charm; the
ain left me, and I slept more than half of the night,

DR. ROGER'S
Jk SAFE and certain cure for Coughs, colds,
Croup, Asthma, Consumption of the Lunas’
Spitting of Blood, Bronchitis, Hooping Cough, and
all Pulmonary affections;
O* A Lovely Young; Lady Cured of
Consumption!!
The following is from the pen of Wm. 11. Levi
son, Esq., the distinguised editor of ihe United
States Military and Naval Argus, under date New
York, January 2G, 1850. What could be more con
clusive?
‘lt is seldom we permit ourselves to occupy a
space in these columns to speak in praise of any
article in the patent medicine way; that when we
see the life of fellow'-creature saved by the use o
any medicine whatever, we consider it as our
right, if not our duty, to give a simple statement ot
facts, that others may, in like manner, be benefit
ed. The case which has induced us to pen this
article was that of a young lady of our acquain
tance, who by frequent exposure to the night air,
contracted a Cold which settled on the Lungs be
fore its ravages could be stayed. (This occured
two years ago this winter.) Various remedies
were used, but with very little effect or benefit.
The Cough grew worse, with copious expectora
tion, and the sunken eye, and pale, hollow cheek,
told plainly that pulmonary disease was doing its
worst on her delicate frame. The family physi
cian was consulted, and although he would not ad
mit to tli? young lady that she really had the Con
sumption, yet lie would give no encouragement as
to a cure. At this crisis her mother was persuad
ed to make use of a bottle of Dr. Rogers’ Com
pound Syrup of Liverwort and Tar, *and we are
happy to state she was perfectly cured in less than
three months by this medicine alone, after even
hope was destroyed. Jt is useless to comment on
such a case as this, for the simple truth will reach
where polished fiction never can. If any doubt
the authority of this statement, let them call at
this office.—l 7. S. Military and Natal Argus, .Vo.

Dr. Rogers’ Syrup of Liverwort and Tar.—
We have heard of several important cures recent
ly effected by this excellent medicinal preparation,
and in one instance that came under our observa
tion, we can speak confidently. One of our em
ployees, who had suffered severely from a long
standing cold, during the past week commenced
the use of this medicine, and his Cold has entire
ly disappeared.
From the New York Mirror , Sep. 2, 1850.
Liverwort and Tar.— Of the virtues of Dr.
Rogers Cough Medicines prepared from the above
articles, it is needless now to speak; its efficacy in
speedily curing Coughs, Colds, and other lung
complaints, which too frequently, if neglected, re”
suit in Consumption, is too well established in pub
lic confidence to need eulogy now.
From the N. Y. Despatch, Aug. 25, 1849.
We have heretofore taken occasion to give our
testimonyjn favor of the curative properties of Dr.
Rogers’ Compound Syrup of Liverwort and Tar,
and would here repeat the advice already given,
for all persons who are afflicted with Consumption,
or any of the premonitory symtoms, to make a trial
of Dr. Rogers’ preparation.
