tw>? weck? ago, un intelligent man who ?af at my
right band, nnd whom 1 afterward ascertained to
be an engineer ami m trhinist rn.plm cd af the On?

pupil of Hawthorne and Mr. (leorge Rinley at the

quently, when a niemtier of tlie North American
phalanx, it had been b:? privilege to ho intimately
acquainted with Horace (.re-Icy and ot hers who
gave since distinguished themselves in literature
er nr >:.-.s:?!is. An hour iat-r I saw the same
gian six hiinilreil feet under irrotind superintending
the erection of nn immense pump. The mining re-!
gionsof the Rocky Mountains attri.- al! classes of
people, and the stranger who cx-,nv ts to find in the
placer or quartz camps. ivily tlie tgm ranf, profane,

described Hrct Harte will be gr-atly disat?
pointeil. M'-n no longer go BaUPBl llrs?mining towns
of the Territories cam iuira brace of Navy revolvers
in their In lts and long knives in their hoot-lens.
There an'iratubliiig hells, driiice-hoiise* and worse
haunt, in almost every mining camp, but tbo peo?
ple who keep and patronize them do not rule as
they once did : for almost with the tirst rush to a
new region come meu and worn -n who prize de
i m y and good order, and arc numerous enough to
acute t bem.
So every traveller in the Far West must learn to
measure the men he meets n<?t by the clothes they
v.var nor the work they are rpjajgganl in. nor should
hj hg siirpnsal if the miner, el id in his woollen
s'.irt and gum boots and workm? ins own placer,
begins to quote Latin to htm or t.> discuss the latest
scientific discovery. Minin.', wiih its excitements
aud uncertainties, its high wages, great pr... s ami
fiesf'.ent losses, has its atlr... ?;?>? * t.>r all . lass, a ?f
people. The old pioneers of Forty-nine and the
rally BaMOB are ?tili t>> BO found in all the Territo?
ries where gold and silwr mines atioan.!. and upon
some of tbetn fortune has, trout time to tune,
smil.d. These men are frequently original charac?
ters. N'.?t much versed in book learning, they have,
belong experience, acquired a sort af intuitive
power to judge of the va'.iv ?I mine-, whteb has
ofiener been a sour e of profit to their friends than
to tbems-l\. s. Very Bru at the eld Forty-niners
have kept their wealth when, ay a lucky strike,
they aawe ataaaaal it. Ltaai years of roughing it
in the mountains g"ii"ra!'v unfit a man for i quiet
enjoyment of the fruits of his labors, and I have no
doubt that many and many a man who has spent
hin fortune iu riotous li\urj in some K?steln <-if)
has fell au intens, relief and a r> fnni of self-respect
when he has found himself back am ug the old
scenes, ahmt to becia ever Bgaia the fierce struggle
::^ainst litinger, exposure, fatigue and the thousand
I. s, r's which 'the prospecinr and miner

The pioneers are ggenptag tJ 1 and will soon <]i>

It was one of the wildest and loneliest places which
I saw in Montana. 1 he mountains on either side

narrow, and the ground was covered with grauiSe
boulders, some large and some small, which were
probably left there by a grear giacn r in prehistoric

purposes is already all that can bo iiflnrded, ami. in
many tnsranee<, barelv sufli -ei to furnish a p mr
salary for a BOOC teae!;er and to keep dilapidated
school-bouses from tumbling down. Even if tho
people gf the towus desired the lust modern methods
of edu at ion they could not have them, any more
th in they i an have "modern improvements" in
their old dwelling-houses or bnild their new hoaies

Enirland Ktat", certa nly?can long endure r.his
mental drv rot. It hj possible to live without
modern conveniences, but without modern intelli?
gence or the means of obtaining and men'illy
d i nesting it, one should not dare ro live in a Northern
State. No democratic community can allow any
considerable part of its population to real aOOBBOB*

What the ultimate solution of the problem of
Stotoeducation maj be. II is aotary parpeeoaow
toooaeideri but there are murmuriiigs in the air
which indicate (hat changes tn popular tenti
Btaal are in progress, ami may soon bring BBOat
more Inrpnrtant altorationa in our popular edaoa*
t:on than any hinted at in the BOOTO Bteaenro,
Qranttng that il ia tbo duty of the state to proriae
ndiuiaflonal fariilififia anilthr. rerene of this prop?
osition can hardly become a practical nueaftOB "lur?
ing the pr. sent general;0U-?U hat are tho limits of
this duly f Way. it is asked, for instance, should
the >tate support normal schools f Teaehina is
now a profession, as diattBCttYeljr as law or dm tut v
but no ooe pretends to believe that the support of
?ebooli tor instrnction m those last two puran -
. an I gittmately be thrown upon the state, rke
beneflt which the Stafc iilumatelv receives fivm
normal school scholars is strictly aualagous to that
received from stodeufi la other profeaatonal school
?medicine, engiueerlag, law, etc?and the State
should not pay tor tin ir instruction in the one case
any morothan in tlie other.
Again, tiie di ;erein e between our agricultural
fommunittto, ?a I ho one hand, and our commercial
and manufacturing e mni.unities on the other, is s,i
v.rv great that it is net peat lb It for tbe stare to at?
tempt to carry out any fooiphite aynatai of adata>
tion without Inflicting grave Inj nalii a either upon
the fanner or upon the manufacturer and Bteiehaot.
The oiliea deatana\ ami ate able to atarrd, schools of
a far higber grade than the farmer ri quires or
should be compelled to pay for. Mut it is the duty
of a s.|ale lo Im? Impartial lOWatd all its citizens, as
well in conferring the beasatta of education as in
the administration of jaaticc | and the aalyeemepr
lion which the State, a- BOW countituted, can conler
iuinartiaUy upon its citizens, is thai aaaoant which
eblMrea should receive in the primary Bekamt, or
Before the ago at which the diettnetbrn between
rich and |?o..r makes increased education possible
to tbe tea claaa aad impoaaibia to tbe other, L'p to
tins point a -ta:.- atay ?<? with s.jety. Beyond this
paint it ia fluimiouenlo if a Btate simuld ever voh

would be that by aegreea all primary adueatiou,
whol hoi in l it v or country town, would pass uipler
?state control, ami lie paid for tiv State funds. 1 he
BOata would I ii a- furnish adequate facilities for the
attainment of all the adaeatioa winch it Baneta
of its voters and jurymen, or ad thwee who simply
receive the laws ami orders which it promulgates
by tho use ot type and printers' ink. I he educa?
