Try what those true friends can do before you begin grumbling and fretting because you do not get help from others.” If your are not your own friend it is foolish to expect others to be friend you.

A market gardner of Lake county Illinois, says that he has the most re markable success in the use of salt upon his tomato plants, lie applies it at various times during the season and iu every ease its effects are mark ed in the increased growth of both plant and fruit. Iu some cases lie lays the roots of backward plants bare, sprinkling them with a table spoonful of ordinary barrel salt, and covers soil.

It is- clear, then, that no schools can be established till the se cond term of the court, and not then, without the Grand Jury shall author ize the levy of the necessary county I tax. 1 would, therefore, recommend teachers to opt#i private schools upon their own terms for the lirst half of the | year. 2nd As to the .compensation for ] services rendered by teachers and j others the cast year. It will be seen | trom tne copy oi trie utw, wntci'i nas ! been generally distributed among the | school officers, that section 4lh of the Act approved 20tli of January, : 1872, authorizes the Gov. to draw his warrenton the Treasurer in favor of State School Commissioner, f r the sum of three hundred thousand dol j Jars, to be paid out of the funds then : in the Treasury, appropriated by law to the Public Schools system, and in said fund is insufficient to pay the debt now due to the officers and teachers of Public Schools, section sth provides that the amount shall be raised by a sale of bonds now in the Treasury of the Stafe tinder act of July f 9th, 1870. It, is impossible for me to tell when this money will be ready for several reasons : Ist. There is great uncertainty as to what is due to school fund, and it is imposible to ascertain at present! what portion of tins is now in the Treasury. 2nd A proviso to the section in re ference to the sulse of bonds says that they shall not be sold at rates in jurious to the credit of the State, to be left to the discretion of the Gover nor. 3rd. Another proviso requires the money to be distributed in the por proportion of the children of each county entitled to the privileges of Public Schools and there are thirty counties in the State that have not mande full returns as to the number ; of children so entitled. Just as soon as the necessary steps can be taken to realise the money in a manner which shall acord with tire provisidns ol the law it will be done and the parties in interest shall re ceive the proper official notice for this department.
