DAILY EXPRESS

TEH.BE HAUTE, INDIANA.

Saturday Morning, April 29, 1871.

What "The Law Don't Contemplate." As our readers are already aware the present School Board, or a part of it, was elected hy a compromise. The Catholics demanded representation on the Board, and the Democratic leaders quieted that demand, temporarily, by concessions and promises. The new Board held a meeting, soon after its election, to effect an organization and talk over school matters generally. And at this first meeting, one of the new members declared his intention to oppose the teaching of music in the public schools. He said "the law didn't contemplate anything of the kind.'' The opinion of those who have conversed with this member is that his ideal of a school for our city is the country school of twenty or thirty years ago.

Now we are not going to insult the intelligence of our readers in this year of Our Lord 1871, and in this city of Terre Haute, by advocating music in our schools. There are none who have kept pace with the progress of the age who are not in favor of it, except it may be some mean rich man (and we can't name him) who is able to employ private music teachers for his own children, and would Prefer that the children of the middle and1 poorer classes should be untaught in this exalting, refining, delightful art.

There are few who can afford private nstruction in music. It is very expensive. But public instruction costs only a few dimes a year to each pupil, a mere trifle and this little expenditure is productive of incalculable good. It is a present blessing to the schools and an enduring blessing to each pupil.

The man who would strike music out of the list of school studie3 is an enemy to pur school system and. to, society generally. He would discriminate against the poor and in favor of the rich. A great author says he "is fit for treason, stratagems and spoils."

Let the proud and happy parents who attended the school exhibition at the Opera House on Thursday evening, and who have ^attended similar exhibitions given by the scholars of our free schools, say what they think of the Trustee who declares that music is "unconstitutional or that there is no authority for teaching it in the schools. Suppose this Trustee, at the conclusion of some grand, inspiring song, in which thousands of young voices blended in delightful melody, when children and parents were thrilled with exultant happiness,—at such a moment as this, suppose this Trustee had stood up before the delighted audience and said "the law don't contemplate this sort of thing, and I propose to. do away with it altogether.''

We fancy we hear the indignant "NO, YOU SHALL NOT DO IT," that would have fallen on his ear with the stunning force of three thousand angry voices.

Talk of a step backward in free public education in this city, and you raise a storm that will sweep out of the way the officer, the sect or the party that makes the insulting demand. And this backward step is what is seriously proposed by a member of the Board whose election was the result of a Democratic caucus compromise between the leaders of the party and the Catholic element.

EVERY voter who cares to protect our free school system from the impending raid of the allies, will bear in mind the significant fact that there is no candidate on the Democratic ticket who dares to pledge himself to oppose the demand for money to support a Roman Catholic school, should that demand be repeated, as it certainly will be if the Democracy carry this elaction.

DON'T let it be forgotten that "Democratic economy," as illustrated by the reigning member of the Board]of Commissioners of Vigo county consists in hiring money at eighteen per cent, interest for the needless and uncalled-for redemption of paper bearing six per cent, interest.

WE HA.vh challenged every candidate on the Democratic ticket to publish, over his signature, a pledge that, if elected he will oppose every effort to divert any portion of the school money from the support of our free, secular schools.

Not one of them DARES to do it.

The Minister's Work and Pay. The clergy are the worst paid body of laborers in the country. They work with ability and zeal. They are educated, sensitive men, often carefully nurtured, and they are expected to be everybody's servant, to hold their time and talents at the call of all the whimsical old women of the parish and of the selectmen of the town. They are to preach twice or thrice on Sunday, to lecture and expound during the week, to make parochial calls in sun tor storm, to visit the poor, to be the confi dant and counselor of a throng, and always in every sermon to be fresh and bright, and always ready to do any public service that may be asked. Of course the clergyman must be chairman of the school committee, and a director of the town library, and president of charitable societies. He can not give a great deal of money for educational and charitable and aesthetic purposes—not a very great deal—but he can always give time, and he can always make a speech, and draw the resolutions, and direct generally.

He is, in fact, the town pound to which every body may commit the truant fancies that nobody else will tolerate upon the pastures and lawns of his attention. He is the town pump at which every body may fill himself with advice. He is the town bell to summon every body to every common enterprise. He is the town beast of burden to carry everybody's pack. With all this he must have a neat and pretty house, and a comely attractive wife, who must be always ready and well dressed in the parlor, although she can not afford to hire sufficient "help." And the good .man's children must be well behaved and properly clad, and his house be a kind of a hotel for the traveling brethren. Of course he must be a scholar, and familiar with currrent literature, and he may justly be expected to fit half a dozen boys for college every year. These are but illustrations of the functions he is to fulfill, and always without murmuring and for all he is to be glad to get a pittance upon which he can barely bring the ends of the year together, and to know that if he should suddenly die of overwork, as he probably will, his wife and children will be beggars.—EDITOR'S EASY CHAIR, in Harpers Magazine for May.

AN ENGLISH BURGLAR OUTWITTED.

Story of a Trunk—A Grafton (Vt.) Bank Bobbery.

From the New York Tribune.]

A woman, giving her n?me as Mrs. Newnham, has been prosecuting for some months past a claim against the Williams and Guion Steamship Company, to recover $1,000 upon a trunk claimed to have been lost while on the passage from Liverpool to New York. She said that she sailed from Liverpool in the steamer Nevada, having in her possession six trunks, and that she saw them all safely stored on board the vessel. She even made oath that during the voyage she sat upon the missing trunk, although the manifest showed only five. Upon reaching the port she put in her claim for the six trunks, and before a notary made oath to her statement. The passenger agent of the company had every steamship dock in the city searched, and every baggage manifest inspected, without any solution of the difficulty. He then wrote to the agents in Liverpool, who, after an extended search, found the missing property in a boarding house in that city. It had obviously never been taken aboard the steamer.

A few days since, and before the above fact was known here, a Deputy Sheriff from Grafton, Vt., entered the office, and asked the agent if he was not engaged in a litigation with a certain Mrs. Newnham. The agent apprised the officer of the facts then known, and the Deputy then informed him that her husband was a notorious English "cracksman," for whom he had been searching more than seven months. "He was arrested," said the Sheriff, "about eight months since for cracking a bank at Grafton, Vt., and was lodged in the county jail. I had him especially in charge, and gave him much of my attention. One day, as was leaving the cell, he suddenly sprang forward and struck me a blow which felled me to the flpor, and rendered me alifiost senseless, and then escaped, and has since been at large. I traced him to this city, but he has completely eluded me. Upon learning from a member of the sporting fraternity here, with whom I have managed to ingratiate myself, that Newnham's wife was engaged in the laudable calling of shoplifting, and that she was trying to swindle your company out of £200 sterling, I thought that by uniting our interests, we might be of service to each other."

The agent decided to join interests with the Sheriff. He dispatched a letter to the house of assignation in West Houston street, known a3 "Clark's" where "Mrs. Newnham" had ordered all letters to be sent, asking her to come to the office at No. 29 Broadway, about 12 o'clock, on Wednesday last, and he would try to settle her claims. She agreed to the proposition. The services of two private detectives were then procured, and they were stationed outside on the pavement. The Vermont Sheriff took his position in the private office, armed with ja requisition from the Governor of Ver ]mont, to await the coming of Mrs. Newnham. She was not far behind the appointed time, and the agent in a few moments convinced her that he was ready to sign the check for the £200, provided she would procure the signature of her husband to the receipt. This she readily promised to obtain, and, going to the door, gave some signal to her husband, who was passing carelessly down the other side of Broadway. He came across the street, entered the building and was told to step into the private office, where the check would be made out. Mrs. Newnham entered before him and at once recognized the officer. The detectives outside had carelessly strolled in after their victim, and had been engaged in an inquiry concerning the price of steerage passage. The moment the burglar entered the private office, the Sheriff rose, aud, upon giving the signal, the detectives secured the burglar after some struggling. The handcuffs were at once put on him, and the Sheriff left with his prisoner for Grafton, Vt., on an afternoon train.

The Home Palace of thi Prussian Sovereigns.

The rooms at Potsdam are beautifully fitted up with quantities of cabinets, vases, statuettes, etc.,scattered around but there is not one in which you could not sit down and live—live in delight, for every window frames a lovely picture, whether you look down upon the fountains playing on the terrace beneath the second floor and watering with their spray a tiny garden there, or through the thick leaves over Sans Souci and the Marble Palace on the brink of the Holy Lake, and the smooth-flowing Havel shin ing in the afternoon sun. The children of the crown prince, the grand-children of Queen Victoria, were here with their governess: we saw them on the lawn. A work-basket, with some delicate work stood on one of the tables, a book-rack on another with three or four loose volumes, a cabinet piano and piles of well-used music, an easel bearing a half-finished sketch and I sat down by a window and pictui ed to myself a refined and cultivated woman passing here a tranquil harmonious life, fitly framed, with an adornment not too stately for comfort, yet relifined to a fastidious elegance.

Up stairs we saw the bed-rooms, the bathrooms —no more luxurious than our own at home—and King William's study, plain and business like. In this room Bismarck and he concluded the arrangements for the war. The maid gave an envelope from the writing table with the royal crest on it.—From UNTER DEN LIN DEN, in the May number of Lippincolt's Magazine.

Gold and Geology.

In the earliest days of gold-mining we established certain auriferous geological laws. It was legitimate that gold should be found only in certain locations on the river banks, in the bed, in gulches on riffles and bars. But sold was no respecter of these laws. There is near Columbia, Tuolumne county, a very large flat over a mile in diameter and perhaps foud in circumference. It has been immensely rich. It is surrounded on all sides by hills. One day, some nineteen or twenty years ago, a negro walked over this flat. He had just arrived in the country: he had come to dig for gold. He approached a party of miners at wore, and asked them where he had better dig. These were geological miners. They held that gold should only be found inflats and low placer. They where also white miners. White miners some nineteen years ago felt themselves at full liberty to expend their rough humor over a solitary inquiring negro so they told him that good diggings might be found up on yonder hill, pointing to one of the highest in the neighborhood, as yet untouched by pick or shovel. It was a good joke thus to send Ethiopia up the barren hill that hot summer's day, the mercury standing at one hundred in the shade. Ethiopia confidingly went, dug, perspired, and opened one of the richest claims in Tuolume.

Caucasia heard of it. The grin faded from her features. She dropped her picks and shovels, ran from the plain, ran up that hill, and in twenty four hours it was entirely staked out in claims. Ethiopia had some trouble in preserving the integrity of his own legitimate mining boundaries. Caucasia ever after that was earful how she joked with inquiring negroes as to the locality of "diggin's."She also lost confidence in her geology.— From CURIOSITIES OF THE

Silling Whales by Cannon. The inventive genius of America has of late years been

directed very largely

toward improved modes of capturing fish, in which, not satisfied with the comparatively rude methods of hooks and line, upeare, and even netn,

an effort is

made to destroy them in a much more wholesome manner. Even the whalefishery, which for so long a time has been carried on by means of the harpoon, has, as is well known, lately been prosecuted by firing explosive substances into the body of the animal with shoulder guns or with cannon, and thus disabling it very quickly. This method has been adopted by many whalers in the Greenland seas, and has been especially applied of late to the taking of the large finback whales of the Norwegian coast. These animals have hitherto been but little disturbed by whalers, as, although of enormous size (from sixty to ninety feet), they possess comparatively little blubber, and are so active as to be rarely, if ever, successfully attacked by the harpoon.

A recent writer in Land and Waler recounts a late vist to the establishment of Herr Foyen, in the Varanger Fiord, where, from a small island, the fishery is prosecuted by means of two small steamers of about seventy tons each. The special apparatus employed consists of a harpoon, inclosing in its head half a pound of gunpowder, and with jointed or hinged barbs containing some percussion-powder between them. When the whale is within gunshot, this harpoon, attached to the end of along cord coiled around aldrum,is fired into the animal from a cannon about the size of a four-pounder. As the flukes penetrate the side of the whale they are naturally brought together or pressed down toward the shaft, and in so doing ignite the percussion-powder, which sets fire to the gunpowder, causing an explosion in the body of the animal that usu ally produces a mortal wound. The whale, of course, starts off under the stimulus of the pain, and the rope is carried out for a time, being coiled from the drum precisely like a fishing-line from the reel of a fishing rod, the steamer following after so as to prevent any undue strain. If necessary a second discharge takes place, which almost invariably produces death

The steamer then tows the animal back to the station, where the blubber is taken off in a long strip by means of properly constructed apparatus, after which the flesh is removed in a somewhat similar manner, and finally the bones are separated and hauled out. It is the intention of the proprietor to prepare a fertilizer by drying the flesh and reducing it to powder, and a brisk trade has already sprung up in Germany in this article. The bones are likewise to be ground and utilized in various ways so that the entire animal —blubber, flesh, and bones—will be put to economical purposes. The carcasses of over thirty whales were heaped up on the island at the time of the visit referred to, forming a red hill of very considerable magnitude, visible at a great distance. The proprietor stated that the factory would not answer its expectations unless fifty whales could be taken every summer. It was thought, however, that there would be comparatively little difficulty in securing this number and in fact, as we learn from later advices, over sixty in all were captured during the season.—EDITOR'S SCIENTIFIC RECORD, in Harper's Magazine for May

Jii-y i*

A SENSIBLE remark has been made by a philosophical exchange, that seems to understand all about the matter, to the effect that it is all folly to inflict a fine on a man or woman for breach of promise on the grond that an engagement should not be held as sacred in the eyes of the law as actual marriage, but allowed to stand as a sort of preliminary to that event,—a finding out whether each side is adapted to the other, and if it is pru dent to proceed any further in the busi ness. Unless there is a little leeway given, it is difficult to see how marriage becomes much more than ''going it blind." Courtship is tolerated, to be sure, with out having any binding qualities about it but who can say when the hints thrown out during courtship, and intend ed only as tentative and experimental become actual pledges and promises, de serving recognition at the hands of the law.—Boston Times.
