PRACTICAL INSTRUCTION. is the ig-
norance of every day things which makes
our scholars the sport of your rough business
men. They get plundered in the market
and cheated in the store. They are taken
advantage of by the grocer, and imposed
upon by their butcher. Conscious of their
ignorance of what many wide awake eight
year old is familiar with, they shrink from
coming in contact with men in business ways
and go through life one-sided. We do not
believe it would hurt statesman to know
how to sew on button or handle hammer.
We are sure that no divine will be worse for
being familiar with the secrets of the kitch-
en- and the pantry; and we are quite certain
it does not hurt an editor to be a Judge of
-four or good beef Our is a practical people
and we need a more thorough every day ed
ucation of our young men and young women.
The highest society is the most thoroughly
selfkeeping 1t is compatible with the
highest culture to be able to wait upon ones
self For ourselves, we would as soon be hand
ed over to the auctioneer as be dogged by a
valet. But in order to free men from oppo-
sition and fit them for every day duties they
must be trained to them in their youth. A
child will learn by observation and by touch
a thousand things in his early years without
effort, which it would take weeks of hard la
Dor to secure at a later period.

THE IMMIGRATION OF 1S64.-A gentle
man writing from Ruby Valley, under date
of Aug. 31st to friend in San Francisco,
says: 81 never in life saw so many poor emf
grants; they have poor apologies for teams, no
provisions, no money many are sick, and
many have buried one or more members of
their families. An unusual number of acci-
dents have happened from too careless hand
ling Of firearms. Mr.. Nicholas, of Marengo
Illinois, had son fifteen years old killed;
little girl fourteen years old, had her arm
entirely blown off; and several other persons
have been manned in various other ways 1
cannot see where all these people are going
to locate; California will get the largest share;
some will go to Oregon, and some will go to
any place where they can earn an honest live
lihood for themselves and families"
