Buckle, it) his bistory of civiliz ation, says that the changes in every civilized people are, in their aggregate, dependent solely on three things: first, the amount of knowledge possessed by their ablest men; second, on the directon which that knowledge takes; that is to say, the sort of subjects to which it refers; thirdly, and above all, in the extent to which the knowledge is diffused, and the freedom with which it pervades all classes of society. It may be said in gen eral, as an additionxto tlie above, that in the world there is nothing great but man; in man there is nothing great but mind. The centuries as they roll illustrate this truth. Life is simply that which holds matter together; the activi ties of life tend directly to minister to self-preservation; one of the first elements of this, the first law of nature is self help; of this edu cation is a necessary attribute, and higher education" a necessary ad junct. The term "higher education," is a relative one. What is looked upon as rudimentary and only fit for the primary pupil of to-day, would havo been kingly a few centuries ago; and all tho thous and little things that we know and take as a matter of course would have once been deemed too won derful for belief. A higher edu cation has, at times, been deemed synonymous with a liberal educa tion and, in general, an education above and beyond what is actually needed for the practical necessities of life. The theologian, the states man, the eminent physician, the accomplished linguist are suppos- ably if not actually possessed of what is popularly a higher educa tion. In ffeneral a higher educa- tion is that continued process of mental development in which the human mind is placed in tho most harmonious relations with the great truths of Nature; in which the full need of humanity is supplied, and in which self-knowledge, self-control, and the ability to use to thp best advantage whatever of na tural gift may be possessed has been attained. This, for obvious reasons is not possible, not prac ticable with the majority. It is -to be regretted, but cannot well be helped. When the State does her duty, provides the means, clears all obstacles, and opens wide doors, she has" done her duty; all she can be expected to do. With the in dividual abides the result. There are a great many things that higher education is not. It is not the filling of the mind with innu merable facts; it is not the supply ing the wisdom of the past in an attempt to otfsct the follies of the present; it is not cramming the head and leaving empty the hands; it is not groping through tortuous passages to dusty chambers full of casuistic quibbles; it is not the wasting of precious time upon purely ornamental studies which, however desirable in an aesthetic point of view, are of little prac tical value; nor is it jhe stimula tion of precocity nor the exclusive developing of genius. Tn the ' higher education pupils are taught to think; to become active discov erers, not passive recipients; less attention is givon to "capacity," and more to powers of observation and mental acumen. No real thinker, no genuine learner is con sent to know that a thing is so without knowing why it is so, what makes it so. What phrenolo gists call tho "causal" develop ment is to bo excited; not in a sceptical manner, but in a spirit of true inquiry. It has at times been fashionable to snper at higher education; to misstate its objects; to belittle its purposes and leadings and to de cry those who maintain its useful ness and illustrate its actual nec essity. The first question with us is always one of dollars and oents. "Will it pay? What good is it?" Tho design of higher education is easily proved to bo resultant of great good, and it certainly will pay. It may be pertinent- to in quire in this connection what 'good' is. If to eat and bleep, to wax fat and lusty, to move as animated clods and sink along with other animals to tho ombraco of earth, if that and nothing else be good, then it might be well to pause be fore exerting so much energy or spending so much time and monuy in giving an onward push to the world. But if we need the assist ance of a lever to raise man to a higher plane of wisdom, prosper ity and happiness, then we see the necessity "of a suitable -instrument, such as higher education, and pro nounce it "good." With this comes increased profit, and that always "pays." NEW ADYEUTISEJIENT3. Thk number of Isthmus "canals and railways which it is proposed to build, is, of course, immaterial to the question of non-interference by foreign powers. The policy that becomes settled for one will apply to all, but when it comes to tho defense of that policy by American arms, it might make a, very material difference whether tho number of transits to be hold be one or more. In estimating the contingencies of our naval future it will be safer to err on the maxi mum than the minimum. Wilson & Wisher, SHIP CHJDTDLEBS. Iron, Steel, Coal.

The restriction of that right by legislation is an infringement of personal liberty. Congress has no authority to dictate the management of private business, nor to compel well di rected industry to pay the losses of unprofitable experiments. Taxation for the support of the Urovernment is necessary, taxa tion which brings the Government no revenue, but serves only to lay the whole people under tribute to favored classes, is a violation of the spirit of democracy. The bill which grants the frank uig privilege to Mrs. Garfield con tains one provision which may etnbarass the lady. Not only may she use the mails free, but post masters afe directed to carry with out cost all letters addressed to her. This will serve to augment a correspondence which Mrs. Gar field has found to be distressingly large, and to contain no small number of impertinent, baggy letters. The year 1872 with its 7,100 miles of railway tracks has hereto fore made the best showing. It lias been surpassed, however, this year, as 7,898 miles bad been re ported up to Christmas.

The Sux of 18GS was a newspaper of r. new kind. It discarded many of the forms, and a multitude of the superfluous words and phrases of ancient Journalism. It under took to report In a fresh, succinct, uncon ventional way all the news of the world, omitting no event of human Interest, and commenting upon affairs with the fearless ness ot absolute independence. Tho suc cess of tins experiment was the success of Tue Su. It effected a permanent change In the stvlc of American newspapers. Every important Journal established in this country in the dozen years past has been modelled after The SCJf. Ev ery Important journal alrrady existing has been, modified and bettered by the force of The Sus'a example. Thk sux of if2 will be the same outspok en, trulhtilllng, and Intercsting'newsnaper.
