TUESDAY MORNING. NOV. 29.1870.
rori’LAR EDUCATION.
In tho recent lecture at New York, ol
Mr. Mundella, Meralier of Parliament for
the Sheffield borough, lie touched upon
popular education in England and made
gome reference to our system of public in
struction. In England, until recently,
they had no effective means of educating
the people. They had thousands of edu
cational-endowments, which were swal
lowed in corruption or monopolized by the
rich, but the poor were almost entirely
destitute of schools, so that the mass of
the people grew up in ignorance. It was
not until 1840 that a shilling was voted
from the national treasury to support
schools. That year £30,000 was voted,
but this sum was reduced the next year to
£15,000. In 1848, one of the Factory In
spectors reported that in an area of eight
miles by four, comprising the large
boroughs of Oldham and Ashton, with a
a population of over 100,000, there was not
single public day school accessible to the
children of the working classes. Facts
such as these aroused attention and im
provement began, but although since that
time more than nine million pounds ster
ling have been given by the government,
and twice as much from other sources,
for popular education, a moderate compu
tation two years ago showed that there
were a million children not attending
school. “All investigation," says Mr.
Mundella, “goes to prove that the neglect
by the State of this paramount duty has
been one of the chief,causes of the depen
dence and depravity of our pauper and
criminal classes." “In 18f>0,” says he,
“23 per cent of all the males contracting
matrimony signed the registers with their
marks. Of all the criminals convicted
during that year, less than three per cent,
could read and write well, and only one
in six hundred had a superior education."
All tho outrages on property and decency
were mainly attributable to ignorance, and
the willing dependence of a million of
paupers was due to the same cause.
At this time England hits a scheme of
national education, which adds from one
third to one-half to the existing means of
education, which it is thought will make
sufficient for the whole population. In
accomplishing this the friends of the move
ment have met with much opposition.
One trouble was what was known as the
“Religious Difficulty,” something of whieh
has been felt in our schools and still
threatens them. They make their schools
compulsory, obliging the children to at
tend from their fifth to their twelfth year of
age. But with all the efforts made in
England we are far in advance of them,
beating the world says Mr. Mundella,
with our schools, in private munificence,
in public liberality, in the beauty, comfort,
order and arrangement which distin
guishe them, but not quite equaling the
schools of .North Germany and Switzer
and in thoroughness and universality.
That the education of the people is a
part of the duty of the State is being re
cognized in practise in all enlightened
governments. Ignorance begets vice,
pauperism, crime. To lessen these evils
educate the people. Paupers and crimi
nals must be taken care of by society.
Prevention of them by education is less
expensive than their ravages and the
courts, jails and prisons to restrain and
punish them. In a pecuniary sense pub
lic education is economy. So England
finds its, and so do wc and all other na
tions that try the experiment. A late
writer in the Westminster Review criti
cises onr literature and finds that we have
no Shakspcares or Macaulays, but if this
be true we might retort by pointing to the
fact that our children, almost without ex
ception, can read and understand the
literature of Great Britain and America,
and that those amongst us who have to
make their marks to a marriage or otiier
document, are such as have come hithpr
after their school years from the lands
which boast such geniuses as Shakespeare,
Moore, Voltaire, and Goethe. These are
great names, and great are their works, but
the government which can show all its
people educated to read, write and reckon
by figures, lias more to boast of than the
government which can only make a dis
play ot individual genius, for the devel
opement of whieh it did really nothing.
REV. EDWARD BALLARD.
The sudden death of llev. Edward Ballard
1). I)., of Brunswick, waa briefly announced in
our columns a few days since. The decease
of such a man deserves more than a passing
notice. Outside of his duties as Hector of St.
Paul's church in the place where he resided,
he filled an important place in the Maine His
torical Society, and served two years as Su
perintendent of the Common Schools of the
State. Beyond this, he impressed himself
upon »U with whom he became connected so
cially and in the discharge of his duties, as a
man of marked modesty, Industry, ability and
Christian character.
Dr. Ballard was born in Ilopkinton, N. II.,
in 1804. llis opportunity for obtaining an ed
ucation was limited, hut stimulated by a desire
for knowledge, he made the best use of such
means as he could command to cultivate liii
mind. While a young man he taught school
and finally entered the work of tho christiar
ministry in the Episcopal Church, which lit
continued till his death. He came to thii
State in 1868, and settled in Brunswick as th<
rector of 6t. Paul’s church there. In his du
ies as rector he was successful, preachinj
pithily and forcibly, and leading an unbleuv
iabed Christian life before lilt people. He tool
M active interest in the public welfare of tlu
community in which he resided, particularly it
relation to the schools. In 1800 he was elect
ed State Superintendent of Common Schools
lerrlag two years. In this important positioi
Dr. Ballard served the State faithfully
visiting all parU of the State, even to j
Madawaska, anil itriving by earnest appeals
and such instruction as his means and time j
would allow to better the condition of our ,
schools. He made no ostentatious display, j
but his well chosen, earnest, simple and wise j
remarks are treasured now by many who lis- ;
tened to them, and exerted a salutary influence ,
But the field and labor were beyond his |
strength, and at the close of his term he re
tired.
But beyond of his immediate parochial re
lations there is no place in which his loss will
be so deeply felt as in the Maine Historical
Society. Of this he was an invaluable mem
ber, its Secretary, and, we might almost say,
its soul. No one entered so deeply, ardently
and thoroughly into its work, lie delighted
in it, pursuing it with a kind of romantic in
terest, and yet with a cool and cautious judge
ment . In his zeal he obtained a good knowl
edge of Indian language, and neglected noth
ing that he thought would throw light upon
the early history of our country. Hut he
labored tor truth, not for theory or worldly
praise, and little was endorsed by him that
could not stand investigation or the test of
sober reason. At all the meetings of the
Society lie was the guiding, moving spirit,
and to all of them he brought some store of
of knowledge patiently gleaned from the fields
antiquarian study, never heedingany thought
less and shallow jeers at his work, but giving
to it the whole force and dignity of his char
acter.
Dr. Ballard received the honorary degree
of Master of Arts from Bowdoin College in
1858, and in 1805 the degree of Doctor of Di
vinity was conferred upon him by Trinity Col
lege. He was taken suddenly sick on the 13th
with what appeared to be an attack of cholera
morbus, hut which was probably complicated
with some other disease, and died on the 14th.
His funeral took place on the 17th at St. Haul's
church, Bishop Neeley officiating in the ser
vices, and the College Faculty, School Boards,
teachers and pupils of the public schools and
a large concourse of citizens attending. His
remains were taken to llopkinton, the place
of liis nativity, for burial with his relatives.

LETTER FROM ROCKLAND.
Rockland, Nov. 18th, 1870.
To the Editor of the Kennebec Journal:
The Steamer Chase of the Halifax & Port
land line, about which much anxiety has been
felt arrived here on lust evening under sail,
her machinery having been disabled on Sunday
night.
She left Halifax at 4 o’clock Saturday after
noon for Portland withfour passengers aboard,
and a full cargo of sugar and fish. About
twelve o’clock Sunday night the cylinder en
closing the piston was broken at the top,
throwing off a portion of the cap, and the
hot Btcam and water gushed out into the
engine room scalding the first engineer
to death instantly. The second engineer
was also in the engine room but near the door,
lie was badly but not fatally scalded. In
making his escape from the engine room he
caught hold of a netting and the flesh was
torn from his hands terribly by reason of their
being so badly scalded. The steamer was
put under sail but made but little progress as
the wind was light and her headway was im
peded by her propeller. Several steamers
had been sent out in search of her, one of
which, the ‘‘Montreal,” is now hereto tow the
disabled steamer to Portland to-day.
The engineer resided in Portland and
leaves a wife and two children.
SHOr-LIKTINO.
F nr several months past many of our traders
have missed articles of merchandise from their
counters from timo to time, but have been
unable to detect the thief. I.ast evening Mr.
J. F. Berry 2d, dealer in furs, Ac. missed from
his counter a fur collar soon after a woman
and girl had left the store. Supposing them
to have taken it he gave chase, but being un
able to catch them, informed City Marshal
Carver, who, starting in pursuit soon found
the woman and girl at her house on the
“l’oiut.” Mr. Berry's fur collar was found
there and they were arrested and locked up.
The house was afterwards searched and found
full of goods in great variety, including
gloves, lace collars, clouds, tassel cord, yarn,
hoop skirts.hose,towels, handkerchiefs, tidies,
tans, worsted yarns, rugs, pieces of dress
goods, fur collars, ladies hats, tin plates,
milk cans, under-skirts, ^drawers, cardigan
jackets, cashmere scarfs, looking glasses, etc.
etc. stowed in trunks, boxes,beds and drawers.
Up to this time 110 different articles have
been found. The girl's name is Ada
Clark, aged about tout teen years, and on
being arretted immediately acknowledged the
crime. It appears that she in company with
the woman Margaret Clinton, have been en
gaged in shop-lilting here for several months
past, their victims being some twenty-five of
our principal traders. The girl discloses the
mode of their operation to be as follows :—
They would call at a store and the woman
would ask to examine certain goods which
being thrown upon the counter, while the
woman was looking them over, the girl would
manage to secrete some article under the wo
man’s cloak which was conveniently arranged
for the purpose. The husband of the woman,
Joseph 11. Clinton, a laborer, seems to have
had full knowledge of their thefts and will
be prosecuted as accessory. The thieves will
be arraigned before the Police Court to-mor
row.
KNOX AND LINCOLN KA1LKWAD.
There is quite a lively controversy going on
here in relation to the location of a water ter
minus to this It. K. The deepest water is at the
south end of the city near the Atlantic wharf.
The people at (lie north end object to the loca
tion of the depot there, so far from the busi
ness centre ofthecity and especially so far from
them. The north coders and many others de
sire it located near commercial wharf, about
in the centre of the city. Hut the water is
shpal there nnd will necessitate the building
of a very long wharf and it is also said that it
will involve greater land damage than the
soutli end location. A committee of citizens
was chosen sometime since to confer with the
Directors of the road in relation to the mat
ter, and the engineer is now engaged in mak
ing estimates of the cost, and considering the
feasahi^ity of the opposing locations.
IMPROVEMENTS.
Among the improvements in the city during
the season the following nrc worthy of men
tion : a school house at a cost of about §12,
000 j Engine house of brick with granite
trimings and front at a cost of §7000; Ber
ry’s stable, on Main street; the carriage house
on the street is of brick, with granite and
brick front and granite trimmings, surmount
ed by a neat cupola. It i* two stories in
height and sixty-five feet in length by' sixty in
depth. The stable is in the rear, very com
modious and a model of equine comfort nnd
convenience. It is nearly ready for occupan
cy. nnd when finished will be one of the finest
buildings of the kind in the State.
Thorndike hotel has been improved and en
larged during the season, and the I.ynde hotel
finished.
The great wnnt of the city now is a suitable
ball. We have never had a hall adapted to
the wants of the city, and since the burning of
the “Atlantic,” we have had none. This is
much to the disgust of travelling theatricals,
minstrels and others of the migratory “show”
genus, as well as to the great inconvenience
of the “levee,” “glee club,” “lyceum,” and
other domestic entertainments.

Domestic Netos.
In Sweden, on Tuesday of last week, the
family of Mr. William Stevens, being called
away from home, left their little girl, a bright
and interesting child three years of age, in
charge of two older children, one being about
five years of age. Soon after the parents
left, the clothes of the little girl took fire
from a spark from the stove, but the fire was
extinguished by a neighbor who happened in,
who cautioned the children in regard to the
fire. Afterwards, the children being leit
alone, the clothes of the little girl again took
fire, and the oldest of the party ran to the
nearest neighbor's bouse, three-fourths of a
mile distant, for aid. Upon returning the un
fortunate little sufferer was found sitting on
the door step, p< rfectly naked, the clothes
haring been burned to a crisp and fallen from
her person, and so much baked was her per
son that when the poor child was laid in the
cradle the flesh across the breast broke open
with a noise resembling that occasioned by
the breaking of a burnt crust of bread. The
agony endured by the youthful sufferer may
be imagined, but we have no words in which
to describe it. She lived about two hours
alter her clothes took fire, though she was
apparently unconscious most of the time.

DR. SCBKNCK ADVISES CONSUHPTITES
TO GO TO FLORIDA IN WINTER.
Hating for th« last thirty-five yean devoted my whole
time anil attention to the study of lung diseases and con
sumption, I feel that I understand fully the course that
ought to be pursued to restore a tolerably bad case of
diseased lungs to healthy soundness. The first and most
Important stepja^for the patient to avoid taking cold ;
and the best of all places on this continent for this pur
pose, in winter, Is Florida, well down in the 8tate, where
the temperature Is regular, and not subject to such varia
tions as in more northern latitudes. Palatka Is a point
I can recommend. A gend hotel la kept there by Peter
man. Last winter I saw several persons there who**
lungs had been badly diseased, but who, under the heal
ing Tnfl uence of the climate and my medicines, were get
ting well.
One hundred miles farther down the river is a point
which I would-^refer to 1'alatka, as the temperature is
more even and the air dry and bracing, Mcllonvlllc anil
Enterprise are located there. 1 should give a decided
f'reference to Mellonville: it Is two miles from river or
ake, and it seems almost impossible to take cold there.
The tables in Florida might be better, and patients com
plain at times; but that is a good sign, as it Indicates a
return of appetite : and, when this fs the case, they gen
erally Increase in flesh, and then the lungs must heal.
Jacksonville, Hibernia, Green Cove, and many other
places in various parts of Florida can be safely recom
mended to consumptives In winter. My reasons for say
ing so are, that patients aro less liable to take cold thero
than where there Is a less even temperature; and It is
not necessary to say, that, where a consumptive person
exposes himself to frequent colds, he is certain to dio
shortly: therefore my advice Is. go well down Into the
State, out of the reach of prevailing east winds and fogs.
Jacksons ille, or almost any other of the localities 1 have
named, w ill benefit those who are troubled with a torpid
liver, a disordered stomach, deranged bowels, sore throat,
or cough; but, for those w hose lungs are diseased, a more
southern point is earnestly recommended.
For fifteen years prior to 18*8,1 was professionally in
New York, lloston, Baltimore, and Philadelphia every
week, where 1 saw and examined on an average five
hundred patients a week. A practice so extensive, em
bracing every possible phase of lung disease, has enabled
me to understand the disease fully; and hence my caution
In regard to taking cold. A pe rson may take vast quanti
ties of “ Schenck’s Pulmonic Syrup, Seaweed Tonic, and
Mandrake rills,” and yet die if he does not avoid taking
cold.
in Florida, nearly everybody is using Schenck’s Man
drake Pills; for the climate is more likely to produce
billoua habits man more nonnvm lautum-B. n m-u
established fact, that natives of Florida rarely die of con
sumption, especially those of the southern part. On tho
other hand, in New England, one-third at least of tho
population die of this terrible disease. In the Middle
States, it does not prevail so largely; still there are many
thousands of cases there. What a vast percentage of
life would be saved If consumptives were as easily alarm
ed in regard to taking fresh colds as they are about scar
let fever, small-pox, Ac.! but they are not: they tako
what they term a little cold, which they aro credulous
enough to believe will wear off in a few days. They pay
no attention to it; and hence it lays the foundation for
another and another still, until the lungs are diseased be
yond all hope of cure.
kpy advice to persons whose, 1 nngs sroaffccted, even
slightly. Is to lay Jna stock of Schenck’s Pulmonic Syrup.
Schenck’s Seaweed Tonic, and Schenck’s Mandrake Pill*,
and go to Florida. I recommend these particular medi
cines, because I am thoroughly acquainted with their
action. I know, that, where they aro used in strict ac
cordance with my directions, they will do the work that
is required. This accomplished, nature will do the rest.
The phvsician who prescribes for cold, cough, or night
sweats, and then advises the patient to walk or ride out

he printed directions, except In some cases w hero
use of tho Mandrake Pills Is necessary. My object

every day, will be sure to have a corpso on his hand*
before long.
My plan I
with the pr
a freer use of tho 1
u to give tone to tho stomach, —to get up a good appe
tite. It is always a good sign when a patient begins to
grow hungry: I have hopes of such. With a relish for
fvKxl, and the gratification of that relish, comes good
blood, and with It more flesh, which is closely followed
by a healing of the lung’s,— then the cough loosens and
abates, the creeping chills and clammy night sweats no
longer prostrate and annoy, aud the patient getsweii,
provided he avoids taking cold.
Now, there are many consumptives who have not tho
means to go to Florida. The question may be asked. Is
there no hope for such ? Certainly there Is. My advico
to such is, and ever has been, to stay In a warm room
during the winter, with a temperature of about seventy
degrees, which should be kept regularly at that point by
means of a thermometer. Let such a patient take hfa
exercise within the limits of tho room by walking up ami
down as much as his strength will permit, in order h>
keep up a healthy circulation of tho blood. 1 have cured
thousands by this system, and can do so again. Con
sumption is as easily cured as any other disease. If it la
taken in time, and tne proper kind of treatment Is pur
sued. 'I he fact stands undisputed on record, tliafc
Schenck’s Pulmonic Syrup, Mandrake Pills, and Sea
weed Tonic have cured very many of what seemed to bo
hopeless cases of consumption. Go where you will, you
will be almost certain to find some poor consumptive
who has been rescued from the very jaws of death by their
So for as the Mandrake Tills are concerned, everybody
should keep a supply of them on hand. They act on tho
liver better than calomel, and leave none of itshurtiul
effects behind. In fact, they are excellent in all casea
where a purgative medicine is required. If you have
partaken too freely of fruit, and diarrhoea ensues, a doso
of the Mandrakes will cure you. If you are subject to
sick headache, take a dose of the Mandrakes, and they
will relieve you in two hours. If you would obviate iba
effect of a change of water, or the luo free Indulgence in
fruit, take one of the Mandrakes every night, and you
may then drink water, and eat water melons, pears, ap
ples, plums. peaches, or corn, without the risk of being
made sick by them. 1 hey will protect those wlio live in
damp situations against chills and fevers, 'iry them.
They are perfectly harmless. They can do you good only.

amimalion with tho Hespirometer will be charged flvo

of the lungs; aud patients can readily learn whetbe*
they are curable or not. But I desire it distinctly un
derstood, that the value of my medicines depends entire
ly upon their being taken strictly according to direction*.

Messrs. Hamilton A Turner: Gentlemen—In
your Advertisement in this morning’s Journal, you
make the statement that you are manufacturing
Trunks, Valises, Ac., of all the various styles and
qualities,” and that you “can sell them ut prices that
defy competition.” *
Now, Gentlemen, this is all well enough if you are
able to back it up, but I am doubtful if you can do
so, in fact I know you can’t. In the find place, you
it clai
state that you “are prepared to make lirst class
work.” Now will you please inform me how you
can get up tlrsl class work when you hav’nt even a
second class workman ? The man you call your
Trunk maker (and I believe you have but one man
you call so) has never served any time at the busi
ness, and until he commenced work for you has
been employed as a Carriage Trimmer and Harness
Maker. You also state that vou “can sell Trunks at
prices that defy competition.” Now you must know
better than to make this statement. I am fully con
vinced that Messrs. Coller A Gardiner can manufac
ture and sell you Trunks at a good profit—twenty
five per cent, cheaper than you can manufacture the
same class of work; for this very reason—they em
ploy none blit first class workmen, men that have
served their time at the business, and understand it
in all its branches, and can make Anything in the
line, from a cheap Paper Trunk to a No. 1 Sole
Leather; and all the stock that they use is bought
ut headquarters and in large quantities.
And now, Gentlemen, to let you and the public
know that 1 have served my time at the business, 1
insert the following certificate:
“To all whom it may concern : This is to certify,
that Mr. D.1I. Campbell finished an apprenticeship
of two years with me in April, 1H J5, ami he has been
employed in the business ever since, and I consider
him one of the insst workmen in the country, and he
can do a much larger range of work than most gen

Aud now, as I don’t wish the public to be deceived
by any statements you have made, and to show the
public that I am able to back up every statement 1
have made, ami that I mean business, 1 make you
the following Challenge, which I hope you will ac

give you a month to make it in. If you don’t see fit
to accept the above Challenge at once it will remain
