Governor Hill, of New York, has

port will be Brunswick, and Liver-
pool and Bremen, the two best and
largest cotton markets in the world,
will be the European ports. This
line of steamers opening up direct
trade with Europe will be of great
benefit to the cotton growing
It will also help our country from an

Georgia's Schools.
Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 8.—With
press and people all over the state
the impression seems to have oh-
tained lodgement that the legislature
passed the Jackson educational bill,
and that six months schools may be
looked for. Commissioner Biadwell
said to-day: "The actual increase
in the common school fuud
from recent legislation amounts to
$170,000 only. Had the Jackson
bill, which got stuck in the senate,
become a law, the provision
then have been sufficient for the sup-
port of six months schools. As it is.
the schools will he kept open five
months. The money available will
do no more. I have ju.t been mak-
ing a calculation and find that it will
just about cover expenses for rim-
niug th.-m for that length of time,
The basis of my calculation is live
cents a day, $1 a month, or $5 a year
for each scholar. Tlu* school year
extends from July 1, 18'JU to July 1,
isoi.”
Depew On the Reporter.
Mr. Chauncy Dopcw lias the happy
knack of giving us pictures when he
talks, but he never got off anything
better than his description of the
porter.
In his lecture the other night, un-
der the auspices of the New York
Press Club, Mr. Depew claimed
if any human being is less understood
than another it is the reporter.
The reporter meets us at all hours
of the day and night, lie rings us
up before breakfast, and
ies some of us to bed. Sometimes
he breaks up our sleep, and yet we
must recognize him as a most useful
member of the community. He
spreads the panorama of life before
us in our morning paper, gives ns the
substance of the great dieussion of
the day, and makes us feel the elec¬
tric thrill and the emotion running
through the body politic.
With the instinct of a detective
he unravels crime, explores-mysteries
and the full life of the community
before us. lie gives pointers to the
police, and in his vigilance causes
public officials to maintain a higher
tone, because they know that their
act8 , v ill be written for all the world
to read.
Thirty years ago they had no re-
cogized standing. Now lie steps into
the study of the scholar, the labora¬
tory of scientist, the office of the law-
yer, the sanctum of the judge and
the cabinet of the statesman, and
1 discusses with tlibm them th 'ir
spec-
initios as ably as they could them¬
selves.
r phe political and financial repor-
ters know more about politics and
questions of trade and currency than
the greatest editors know a genern-
tion ago. With the rising standard
of the age, and the fierce competi¬
tion of journalism, the modern re-
porter has placed himself upon a
high plane of action, where his bright
intellect and full equipment make
him a power in the land,
'Flits brief synopsis of the tribute
paid by the most brilliant orator of
our day to his friend, the reporter,
is not only graceful and striking, but,
what is better, it is true.—Atlanta
Constitution.
There are those who protend to
have contempt for sentiment. Yes,
but it is only an effort to throw off
the very best part of our nature.

BUSINESS.
Ca*i we reaihe a hat a happy place
that bo w here every individual
dim or woman attended strictly to
his or her own business? It would
be the ideal Utopia of Sir Thomas
Moore brought down from the fairy
realms of imagination to the common
w alks of this prosy earth. It would
he a better realm than the New At-
lands Isle of which the eloquent Plato
dreamed when Greece was in her
palmiest days. There would be no
necessity for another Byron to write
another "English Bards and Scotch
Reviewers,” or another Dope to pour
forth his vials of wrath in the scath¬
ing lines of another “Duneiad.” In¬
deed, could we find a place so blessed,
the transformation would be so great
that we would be sure to think that
a new heaven and a new earth had
come! Cicero exclaimed in the lto-
mau senate, "O tompora! O mores!”
May not some modern orator exclaim,
"Oh the perversity of remote comm¬
gencies! Oh the aggravating harass-
incuts of social life and things in
general 1”
But after all, such a thing is by no
means impossible. Whether optimist
or pessimist, we may be quite sure
that such a state of affairs might
easily be brought about. Suppose
by a weekly social circle or oth-
envisu, could get the people all to
come together to discuss this very
thing of looking after our own busi-
ness and letting other peoples’ alone,
what might he the result? Indeed it
were worth the trial. When the fact
is brought home to us that an indi-
vidiial, who is of any account in the
world, has as much as he can do to
attond closely to his business, it is
very likely that he would begin at
once to let other people attend to
theirs. In a secular sense at least all
the philosophy and all the ethics of
the world have their only valuable
culmination in a result of this kind,
lt iij true, the orator would he de¬
P rivpd .°f , f uch of 1,18 inveclive , anJ
the satirist’s quiver . would be robbed
,>f its mo ‘ st and pointed
shafts ' For thl T f:lH har,nl,i8S ou
th * brea8t T’ h ‘ tc of who has
no foibles, and what foible so patent
and so despicable as that of a general
fault-finder ? And who is it that is
forever finding fault? lt is the man
or woman who lias time, inclination,
and aptitude to attend to other peo¬
ple's business. But for the vulner¬
i able mail of the Athenian demagogue,
( Icon, there would have been no
place for the polished arrows of the
Athenian satirist, Aristophanes.
To our students who may read
■
these lines the very best advice we
can give is to devote themselves to
j their studies, which is now the busi¬
ness of each. In devotion alone is
there anything like concentration.
! In concentration alone is there such
a thing as success in study. Be as
assiduous as the vestal virgins that
watched the fires on their, altars in
the olden time. Be as active as the
athleU *. tl,at Won the l>mc m thu
Olympian games. I»e as earnest as
thv “l ia,u ,nar, vr ,n ills shect of
-
flame.” Be true to yourselves and
your own unfolding of intellectual
j and moral character, and you will
; find that you have enough to do.
One of the ancient philosophers, be¬
ing asked how his pupils were get¬
ting on, answered : “They .are pur¬
suing those ahead of them, and not
waiting for those behind them.”
Would you have your school a model
in the eyes of the world? Attend
S to your own business. Would each
of you have himself (or herself) a
model in that school ? Let others’
business alone. Would you have
your teacher to follow Ills own ad¬
vice ? Remember that by his very
vocation your business is his business,
and he would be a very poor teacher
who could not or would not advise
you on such a theme as this.

The Minus Sign,
We often lay the blame on Provi¬
dence for our mishaps and adverse
circumstances, when in fact we are
entirely to blame ourselves. Want
of foresight, neglect of prudence, and
failure of energy are in a great meas¬
ure the causes of disappointment and
disaster. And when the final account
comes to be made up, and the great
balance sheet is to be struck, we
shall find that the long line of debits
.stand against us is made up of
f a ;j ur< , 8 act at all, as much as our
j )rot ,cdures to act in the wrong di-
rertion. It behooves us to be for-
ever on the watch, and to remember
that calamity, like cold air, conies in
at doors that we are too lazy to shut,
We must also remember that in the al-'
of life every minus cancels a
