If it's true that a breach betw Mr. Harrison and Mr. Blaine about to occur, it forebodes good to the Republican party the country will have nothing regret. Ours is a practical age. old motto, “Trust in God and ypur powder dry,” has been luted by an Iowa farmer “Boys, don't touch these for they are green ami God you!” The last congress was ic, and republican organs nothing to saj against the rules, which it i* alleged, give usual power to the minority. 1 present congress is and the republican organs are most splitting tlmir throats ing out for a charge in tht' so as to prevent “minority in tlie House.’ This shows a precious lot of old run the republican press. Hon. Thomas Hardeman promptly comes to the front in card denying the report that intends to run against man Blount at the next election in the Sixth congressional of Georgia. Col. Hardeman that the relations existing between himself and Congressman are of the most friendly character, and that he is not, and will not be a candidate against him for con¬ gressional honors at the next elec¬ tion. When the conpulsory bill comes before the Georgia leg¬ islature it may encourage its ad¬ vocates to learn that the Mexican congress has recently passed similar measure. Hereafter the Mexican parents who refuse or neglect to semi their children to school will be punished as crim¬ inals. The republic has assumed parental authority, and the wrech ed Mexican fathdY is hereafter a nonentity. His children belong to the government, and will be ed¬ ucated and paddled by it. Some few Georgians may like the Mex¬ ican way’but the majority are not ready for if yet. rni The prospect . is . that . some enter- , estmg bills will lie introduced at the summer session of theGeor gia legislature. It was announced a few weeks ago that Mr. Atkin son would introduce one for , the ,, establishment of an industrial school for girls, and now it is sta compulsory education. Probably Mr. McDonald was encouraged in his purpose bv iiie recent ac tion of the New York legislature - • what , , intended * . to in passing was be a very strict law on this sub ject. New York lias had a com pulsory education law for. time, but it has not seemed to work verv well. That, however ’ * not , conclusive , . xs evidence .. that would not work well in SABBATH HELPS.

Pilate sent Jesus to Herod. He refused to answer any,of Herod’s questions. Herod then mocked his claims as king, and put a mock robe of roy¬ alty upon him, and sent him back to Pilate.
