We have cot received the Treaty in
full. The f'uilowitiir synopsis is taken
from the New York Sun:
The apology of the Ilriti?h Govern
merit for the depredations of the Con
federate cruisers is set forth in the
treaty in these words :
4 Her Britannic Majesty has autho
rized her Ilih Commissioners Tieni
Totentiaries to express, in a friendly
spirit, the regret felt by Her Majesty's
Government for the escape, umler
whatever ctrcit stances, of the Alib i
ma and other vefel.s iroin British
ort, and for the depredations com
mitted by these vessels.". 4
KING3 AS ARBITRATORS
The five arbitrators to determine
what sums, if any. bhali be paid by the
British Government on account of the
damages caused by Confederate cruis
ers re. tv be appointed, one by the
l'rt widest ol the United Matc-, one by
the Queen of Kuglund, one by the King
of Italy or the 'resident vt' Switzer
land, and one by the Kmp rror of Ura
zl ; and in case either of these person
ages shall fail to imike such oppotnt
tuent, the King of Sweden and Nor
way is to be requested to make them.
The arbitrators are to tmct at Geneva,
in Switzerland. Each of the two Gov
ernments is to appoint an agent to re
present it before the tribunal. The case
and the ev idence on each side arc to be
presented in writing or printing within
two months after the ratification of the
treaty. The counter cases and evidence
in support of the fame are to be pre
sented within four months after the
delivery of the original cases. Within
two mouths after the delivery of the
counter cases the agent of each side is
to present his argument in writing or
printing.
WHAT IS GENUINE NEUTRALITY.
The'tribunal is to be governed by
three rules -The British Government,
although not admittii g these rules as
principle, of international law in force
at. the time the claims arose, but simply
as rules upon which it is willing that
the claims should be settled. These
rules are as follows :
A neutral Government is bound :
First To use due diligence to prevent
the fitting out, arming, or equipping
within its jurisdiction, of any vessel
which it has reasonable ground to be
lieve is intended to cruise or to carry
on war against a power with which it is
at peace, and also to use like diligence
to prevent the departure from its juris
diction of any vessel intended to cruise
or carry on war as above, such vessels
having been specially adapted, in whole
or in part, within such jurisdiction, to
warlike use. Second Not to permit
or suffer either belligerent to make use
of its ports or waters as the base of
naval operations against the other, or
for the purpose of renewal or augmen
tation of military supplies or arms, or
the recruitment of men. Thirdly To
exercise due diligence in its own ports
and waters, aud as to all persons within
its jurisdiction, to prevent any violation
of the foregoing obligations and duties.
SPEEDY PAYMENT TO BE MADE;
The decision of the tribunal is to be
final. If it should find that Great Bri
tain has failed to fulfil any duty or
duties, it may, if it thinks proper,
award a sum in cross to be paid by
Great Britain to the United States for
nil the claims referred to it, and in such
event the money shall be paid in coin
at Washington within twelve mouths
after the award. Each Government is
to pay its own agent, counsel and arbi
trator, and also the expense of prepar
ing and submitting the subjects to the
tribunal. All other expenses connected
with the arbitration are to be borne by
the two Governments equally.
In case the tribuual finds that Great
Britain has failed to fulfil auy duty or
duties, aud does not award a sum in
gross, a Board of Assessors is to bo ap
pointed to determine what claims are
valid, antJ what amount shall be paid
by Great Britain to the United States.

NOW AND Til UN.
From the Journal of Education.
There is great contrast between
"Now and Then" in educational affairs.
There never was a time when education
was so universally diffused as at present
True, good authors have lived in nearly
all ages. W can peer back through
remote ages of antiquity, and see some
ancient authors whose works are even
now used as text books in the colleges.
There was a time when the goddess of
learning began to inspire men with a
desire to extend their knowledge, and
accordingly the arts and sciences were
carried to a great degree of perfection.
But true light had not yet dawned upon
the world; wars raged ; the fountains
of knowledge were' sealed up in the
great Alexaudrian library, which was
at last burned, and the investigation of
ages were cast into oblivion ; the dark
agca euvelopcd the world; ignorance
and superstition reigned supreme ; the
most atrocious crimes were committed ;
the mighty reigned and the weak per
ished ; men in power gratified their
desires and revelled in debauchery,
while their subjects were grovelling
under the galling yoke of bondage ;
prisoners of war were made slaves or
sacrificed to stocks aud stones ; the law
was might over right.
Thus ages passed. There were but
few meu of learning left to keep alive
the last ray of light that had once
began to flood the world. But after
that great invention, printing, which
has done more to enlighten the world
than any other one of the many thou
sands, and for which the time-honored
inventor was imprisoned, because it was
thought he was in alliance with the evil
spirit, education was no longer confined
to the favored few; but books and pa
pers were gradually circulated ; people
who were before considered inferior,
began to read for themselves and to
become enlightened. Empires crum
bled, tyrants fell ; kings became beg
gar, and beggars reigned. The spirit
of liberty explained itself in the breast
of dowu trodden humanity; the yoke
t f bondage in some countries became
lighter, and in other countries it was
shaken off ; and there wm in the new
world a mighty nation .springing into
being, which became a model for those
of the old. Nations and States began
to legislate for the advancement of edu
cation, till it can now be had by all;
and now, they who have a good know
Icdgc of the branches taught in our
com moo schools, not many centuries
ago would have been considered by the
multitude as educated men. As the
Persians could boast of some authors
and few very imrei feet astronomers, wc
of these latter days can boast of Byron,
I'rescott, McCaulay, Vasnington Irv
ing, Arthur, Oliver Wendell Holme.,
and hundreds of evther great authors
whose magic pens have held the world
entranced by their mystic art; while
the illustrious narnqs of Copernicus,
Galileo, Kepler, Newton, La Place,
Ilcrschel, and a great many other astro
nomers are placed on the records of
undoing fame, alongside of which will
be placed the no less brilliant names of
Alex Von Humbolde, Kirk wood and
Le Verrier, whose investigations into
the secret workings of the Almighty
hand have signalized their names for
ever.
Groat discoveries in Astronomy are
daily being made, and the truth of them
is believed by all. Our " Now' in this
respect corresponds to our " Then,"
when it was believed by all that this
world was an extended plane, and the
God of the sun rode in his chariot
acrors the skies from cast to west in the
day, and back again at nio;ht when
none could see. But still later like
our Then," when by the Ptolemaic
theory it was helieved by all that this
earth was the grand centre ot the uni
verse, and the sun, planets and stars,
performed their daily revolutions
around it. But unlike the time when
Galileo was put into prison for assert-
J ing that it was this world that revolved,
and who, when released, said, "I be-j
lieve it, I believe it." This is a pro
gressive age the age of inventions, the
age -of arts and sciences, the age of
proiounct knowledge
Knowledge is now sought after upon
true principles, and correct information
is obtained. Education is broadcast.
Graded schools, seminaries aud colleges
are, as if by enchantment, springing up
all over the land. ?
If progress in the arts, science and
inventions advance - like it has for the
last fifty years, there is no knowing
what the next half century will bring
forth.' .... . . .

17,434,500 in wages annually, con
sume raw materials to the amount of
35,338.099, aud produce annually to
the amount of 78,229.933. In nearly
all branches the profits have been satis
factory. The value of the raw materi
als, added to the wages, makes the sum
of 52,772,055, to which may be added
10 per cent, for incidental expenses,
making 58,052.231, which, subtracted
from the value of the annual produc
tion, leaves 20,187,702, which is
about 37 per cent, on the capital em

A Poor Currency.
A correspondent of a New York pa
per, who has recently visited Hay tt,
writes as follows :
As I stepped ashore at Port-feu Prince
I met an orange girl, and asked her the
price of fruit per dozen. She replied
"forty dollars." I made up my tnind
thatunfortunate woman has escaped from
a lunatic asylum, and I noticed a wild
look about her eyes as I passed on, wHi
outsayinganything. But when a misera
ble.beggarly nativo took a mo-sage across
the street for me, aud deraiuded only
400, I thought it' time to remonstrate,
and I refused to give the audacious
swindler, anything expressing my oipin
on of him iu English, which ho didu't
understand. But when I saw a straw
hat marked 2,000, a light begnn to
dawn-upon me. I held up a 5 gold
piece and the shopkeeper took it, gave
me the hat, and then shoveled out a
bushel of dirty . little bits of paper,
which he said was my "change." Then
it was explained to me that the curren
cy of the country is a paper money so
depreciated that 500 or G00 gourdes, or
dollars, of it aro equal only to 1 in
hard monv. The Island was flooded
with it, and it has been so nearly
worthless, at one time, that 10,000 in

After I had stuffed all my pockets aud
my hat with the change, I immediately
went back and paid tho ill-used mcs

thrown in, for having called him names
in a language which be uidn t under
