TJK EXPOSITOR; W A. “Y IST P'S 13 O-A. SATURDAY. JANUARY 11. 1873. A GRAND EDUCATIONAL SCHEME. In this issue of Tiik Expositor will bo found an able ami elaborate paper, from tho pen of an eminent divine and distinguished scholar of Georgia, upon a subject of the highest importance to I the people c f the State. Circumstances hove delayed its publication by us; but many of our leading journals have al- i ready placed it before their readers, and it is attracting almost universal ! attention. Nor is this surprising, for ■ it commends itself to lift l earnest and thoughtful consideration of every citi- j zen of the commonwealth. The pro posed plan is only suggestive, its learn- [ cd author seeking now rather to excite public interest in tho subject, and stim ulate to action, than to insist upon tho adoption of the scheme ss thus unfolded. But for ourself wc are prepared to in dorse the plan us a whole, not only as feasible, but as wise and enlightened.— There may be some trifling minor de tails, not essential to the general scheme, that might be altered, or amended, or enlarged, as experience may suggest; but as a whole we regard it as one of the grandest educational schemes ever presented to our people. THE HERALD ON THE SOUTH. The Norfolk (Va.) Journal touches i a key note, says the Herald, when it , declared that a revolution in the man-! ner of managing agriculture and manu factures in the South is demanded. What the South wants, it says, is a full development of its agricultural strength and tho establishment of man ufactures. The time has passed for big farms and broad plantations. Un der the system of labor there should be anew system of husbandry, and tho extensive fields of the South subdivid ed and thrown open to small farmers of the North and Europe. The advanta ges the soil and climate, the low price of lauds and their proximity to mar kets, should be freely advertised in the papers of the North and West, and, we might add, in view of the pressure of foreign immigration, in European jour nals. In regard to manufactures, the South wants them as they have them in Old England and in New England, and the way to accomplish this is to invite capi tal from all parts of the world to come to the South and assist in developing her vast manufacturing and mineral resources. And the best way to bring about this desideratum is for the people of the South to set themselves diligently at work to restore their sunny clime to the reputation for law and order which the mischievous Ku-klux have so sadly damaged, and so assure those who come among them to settle that, they and their property shall bo protected by every means within their power, and th.t their rights; politicle, personal and industrial; shall be guaranteed to the fullest extent. Georgia has taken a step in the right direction in regard to developing her resources. The “Committee on direct Trade and Immigration” have held a meeting in Macon and resolved to ask the Legislature to pass bills establishing a Bureau of Immigration, preparing maps showing the agricultural, mineral and commercial resources of Georgia, to be translated into several European languages, and granting a subsidy of one hundred thousand dollars per annum to any steamship company that will make a satisfactory contract with the State to establish a line of steamships between some European port and Sa vannah. It wounld be much better if the matter of a steamship line were left to private enterprise, for these subsidies whether State or National, are likely to lead to abuse and eventuate in a failure to attain the object which it is aimed to secure.' But if Georgia is determin ed to try the experiment, let her go on, and may those she has dealings with treat her in good faith, and not, after squeezing her treasury to the last dime, drop the undertaking as unfeasible and impracticable. An Ohio cheese merchant has invent ed an electrical machine for destroying skippers in cheese, and the best hotels in Cleveland have upon their bills of fare : “Cheese struck by lightning.”— I Mittouri Deniocvat. Ami 'lnc I nto:.kim(m.k. A contra* ver.-y has arisen of a peculiar kind in the United Presbyterian Church in Edinburgh. A member of that church declined to partake of the Sacrament because ordinary intoxicating wine was used. This sort of scruple is sure to nrisf where tcetotali-ni flourishes, and it is of such a harmless kind that one should think it would bo treated with some indulgence. Unfortunately, tol eration is a virtue little understood in Oalvinistio Scotland, and tho Kirk Session passed the following resolution. “Whereas, Mr. John Macadam has been guilty of an unseemly offensive and uchismatical act at tho Communion Table in refusing to partake of tho el ements of Communion, and notwithstan ding prolonged dealings with him he still refuses to act in conformity with his brethren, the Session hereby suspend from office of the Eldership and from full communion with tho members of tho church.” This is a gem in its way. Instead of leaving its member to take his water and sugar, or scriptural wine I (whatever that may be) from his own flask, the Session subject him to ex comnnication, as if he had been guilty of some horrible crime. If the head of the church do not deal with this ease in a more sensible way, wc shall I soon have to announce anew sect ot Presbyterians, “The Scriptural Sup porters of Unfermented Wine. [London Examiner. ! A i’HOTKCTiNG akm should be thrown j I around the Atlanta girls. Of three of; these unfortunate creatures, who haven’t any brothers, the “Awful Squid” of one of the Atlanta papers is permitted to write: “It is _uo idle compliment to say that they arc like three Graces, their faces mirrowing back the purity and softness of tho skies, their eyes floating in a light ot dewy tenderness, or throwing radiant flashes from the inner shrines of thought like jewel tinted sparkles caught from broken \ rainbows. The midnight train from Albany"left a load of passengers at one of our Wes tern towns. Among the number was a nervous, fidgety old man, who was in a great stew about his baggage. His foot had hardly touched tho platform when he commenced dogging the bag gage master for his baggage. Finally, after being repeatedly dunned for the baggage before he had time to get it from the bottom of the huge pile, the baggage master turned to the man, and thus addressed him: “Mister, it’s a pi y you wasn’t born an elephant in stead of a jackass, then ye’d have yer trunk always under yer nose !” Beautiful incident (related by the Baltimore American): “A lady resid ing in the eastern section of the city some months since, purchased at auc tion, an old daub of painting, which no one would bid for, paying only fif teen cents for it. The picture was carried to the residence of the lady, where it has, until within the past few days, hung in the nursery for the amusement of the children. By K one means or other, a few days ago the back of the picture was taken out, and be tween it and the picture was found a bank-book of one of the principal banks, noting the deposits to the amount of $1,500, subject to the order of the de positor, and SIOO iu bank notes. The lady at once proceeded to ascertain the actual heir to tho treasure, and finally suceeded, and on handing it to him he generously presented her with SIOO as a Christmas gift.” j A private letter from a “very intel ; ligent source” to the Springfield Re publican contains these mysterious hints: “If I only dared to tell you what I know of the lying and twisting mem | hers whose names were on the McComb | Credit Mobilier list you would bo star j tied. As for Dawes, he told Ames to | tell the whole story about him, but ! others whom you know are trying to ; lie or skulk out of all connection with the affair. Boutwell knew all about it, though I believe it is true that be nev er took any stock, but lie did not per emptorily decline it. Well, I don't | see how we arc going to obtain all the facts.” An actress in Memphis, Tcnn., has sued for a divorce on account of the jealous and disagreeable nature of her j husband, who, also a member of the I same theatrical company, thought his wife too “realistic” when playing lover’s parts, and hence his jealousy.

Some time since a young minister in tho West End wished to impress his Sabbath-school with the dignity of life by reference to the fact that men had souls while ordinary animals have none. Striking an attitude, he asked, “now children, what is the greatest difference between a monkey and a boy ?” “The tail, the tail, the tail,” came from all parts of the house, and the minister was satisfied. The London Timex is a late number calls upon the writers, thankers, and reformers of England to do something to stem the t’de of d:uokenness which is overwhelming the kingdom and un derminding all ranks of society. It states that this vice prevails to a fear ful extend among rich and poor, men aud women, young and old, and that it is frightfully on the increase.
