its general features. ! am now engaged
in arranging and publishing all the school
laws in regular pamphlet form, and will
distribute them to the several counties
with as little delay as possible.
l requested the County Judges in jan
uary last to forward me a certificate of
the election and publication of County
Superintendents, but as yet have only
received them from some eighteen coun-
ties. l hope, in those counties where
such certificate has not been sent, that
the Superintendents will attend TO il I'M
mediatety. 1t is essential that | should
have authentic information on the sub
ject-otherwis the interest of the coun-
ty might suffer by the recognition ofsome
person who is rot authorized to perform
the duties OF Superintendent. There arc
many of the County Superintendents
whose post Office address | have not
learned. To enable me to publish cor
rect list of their names with the laws,
trust they will forward the certificate and
their address without delay. l usually
send my communications to the county
seats, unless otherwise requested.

The Revenue bill that has Just passed
the Legislature will make a stir among
delinquent payers. It's provisions
are OF the most stringent character
There will be no room under this bill for
complaint about the worthlessness of tax
titles. On the contrary, every guarantee
is given that can be asked for by those
who desire 10 invest at tax sales. And
the redemption OF property thus sold, is
made more difficult than at any previous
time, the penalty being doubled the day
after the sale.
The necessity for more stringent law
10 enforce the collection Of taxes has long
been obvious. Non residents and spec.
ulators within the limits OF the State.
have regarded with indifference the claims
of the State upon them; suffering their
property TO remain delinquent year after
year, because men doubted the value OF
tax titles and would not bid off property
advertised by the County Treasurer.-
Honest tax payers are amply protected
by the bill.-Des Noines Register.

Democrats in Early Times.

Parson Brownlow boasts of his dis
tinguished men being Wings. Does he
mean to say there were no such distin-
guished Democrats among the early
Christians . CourAaad " ~ RepuJ-
Gcan.
Parson Brownow intends to say no
such a thing He has studied the Bible
and the History of the Church with too
much care to make such blunder.--
Herod Antpas, before whom Jesus kept
so silent, and PLATE, who passed sent
ence against Christ, were both democrats,
and they were men of distinction and
talents. Judas " as Democratic preach

He took soup out of the Same dish with
the Sayiour-hunted Him up in the
night to kiss Him. lie was an affection
ate as we'll as ght- walking Democrat.
Peter, bold aud vigorous preacher
among the "early Christians" was also
a Democrat.
He was so devoted to the Lord that he
declared, though all men should be
offended because of Thee, vet will not
be offended" Nay. he wept all about,
The Growing of Democratic rooster al
terwards excited him, threw him off his
guard, and he swore he would be id
if he knew the man In word, there
were, in the days Of Christ, those who
were Democrats, and they respectively
carried out their principles. We have
studied their lives, those of them who
were apostles. and those who were only
laymen, and we confess that ws were
never an admirer Of the Democratic por-
ton Of them! 1t is from this remarka.
ble circumstance happening to Peter
that they use the rooster as an emblem.

Carsttang case, just concluded at St.
Louis
"A woman made her appearance at
the Office of the Police Justice a day or
two ago for the purpose Of entering
complaint against man for breach of
promise. She said she had devoted her
self TO him long time. under promise
of marriage, and all she ever got from
him was six little pigs. which in mo-

diminutive porkers until they attained
soodly size, and gave promise of great
porcine dimensions. when. in charac.

THE PUP THAT WASN'T THAR.

You may brag of your under and upper dogs,
AS long as they bark and bite,
And commend the caution of outside dogs,
That hover around the fight;
But the luckiest dog, Pm bound to swear.
Was thelittle lame dog that ,ndsnt there.
The noise of the yelling he hears from afar,
And wishes he might ego in,''
But sighs as he bures his nose in the straw.
Knowing he couldn't win
For little lame pups are always outlawed,
And in such sort of fights get terribly chaw'd
His straw is clean and his kennel is warm,
And the sun is in front of the door
He has gnawed on the incest chicken bones
Till naught can he gnaw any more !;
Yet ! havn'ta doubt that the pup, if he might
Would Immediately mix in that murderous fight
And lucky it is for that small dog,
That perforce he cannot mix
In the melee Of barks and yelps and bites,
And chokes and stones and kicks;
He saves his honor and saves his hide.
Which he wouldn't do if he wasn't tied.

Machines are now in use at Eaton.
Dayton. Xenia, Piqua, and other places
in Ohio, for breaking unrotted flax, cost
ing about 500 each, which break out
two tons of unrotted flax per day, enough
to make, when refined and purified, some
400 pounds Of linen goods. Experience
with this improved machinery has shown
that flax straw at IS per ton can be con
yerted into fine linen fibre which will
cost only q cents per pound. and that to
60 on and fit it for spinning as cheaply as
cotton, the whole cost will be only five
cents, Al these figures, linens will be a,
cheap AS cottons. s.---IribaRe

THE DOUGLAS FIZZLE IN FORD CO.

Especial DlGpAtch to the Pres and T1ibune.1
pA1ros. Sept. 7, 1E3.
Yesterday, which Was intended for glorious,
proved a sad, day for the Democracy Of Ford
County. The Douglas leaders have been max
ing great efforts for the last two or three weeks,
to get up demonstration In honor Of the slit
tie Sucker, {s!ill in search Of his mother), that
should equal II not exceed the Republican gath
ering here short time since which was ad-
dressed by Hon. O1en Loveioy. Last week an
agent Of "Alabee's Circus" came along and
posted bills for performance here on Thursday
the 9Th inst. A happy idea struck the head Of
Col. Ross, the Democratic candidate for Lieut.
Governor, and penetrated it. Forthwith the
cali Of the Democratic crowds to come togeth-
er was fixed for that day, aud to make the sue
cess Of this hsppy idea Of the Col. more GER
tain, the tent Of the "Mabee Circus'' was er-
himself to follow the elephants, babcons, ETC.,
in illustrating and explaining the "great prin-
cip1e" The eyentful period cane; the ele.
plants, baboons, bears, ETC., went through
their part Of the performancs. to the excess
i've delight of the audience, adult and
juvenile, male and female. Then came the
Colonel. His success WAS less decided. When
he commenced there were probably four hun
dred auditors inside the tent-includinx the
elephant, baboons, bears, etc. In fifteen min
utes the audience came down to Two hundred,
"includinI," etc, and in precisely twenty min.
uses the number counted just 70 ty, "iuc!ud-
ing" etc. Five minutes more and the gallant
Colonel votcd the thing played ont and left.
At the end Of the performance TIRES cheers
we're proposed for the ''Little Sucker" in
which The elephant, balloons, bears, etc., we're
requested to join. The elephant sroaned, the
baboons chattered, the bears nowled, and
immense crowd" left. And thus ended the
first great Squatterite demonstration in Ford
county.
Ford county is just as sure to give large
majority for Lincoln aud Hamlin in November
